I Predicted Your Move
A huge golden phantom appeared behind Ian.
A golden arm, as limb-like as it is, strikes out at supersonic speed!
"Smack!"
For Chrollo and the others, all they saw was a flash of golden light!
Ian clearly saw that the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva's palm struck the Rabbit heavily, but the rabbit remained completely unmoved!
At most, only those long rabbit ears twitched slightly.
Not even the slightest bit of physical inertia was generated!
Simply...
It's like an unshakeable mountain!
Ian frowned. Although he had suspected it might be a kind of Nen Ability, he never expected it to be this troublesome.
It seems that we'll have to find another way to rescue Chrollo.
Only then did Uvogin and the others realize what was happening.
"So, Ian, do you have a solution?"
"Did they already make their move?"
Ian was so fast that Uvogin and the others couldn't even keep up with his speed.
Ian nodded, his little face serious.
"Yeah, we've already tried to take him down, but there's nothing we can do, we can't break him..."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction where Jin had been sent flying, and said in a deep voice.
"Next, we'll just have to let that guy cancel his ability himself..."
As he finished speaking...
In the distance, a figure slowly approached; it was Jin.
He emerged from the ruins, covered in dust.
Half of his face was even swollen, but he was in excellent condition, especially his bright eyes, which were staring intently at Ian.
Elena was overjoyed to see him.
"Mr. Jin!"
Upon hearing this name, Ian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Really...
Is that person Ging Freecss himself...?
I never expected to run into this guy here...
One of the Five Top Nen Users have reached the pinnacle...
No wonder he could withstand that attack, which was comparable to Netero's...
"What an impressive kid! If I'm not mistaken, that move just now was Netero's technique!"
Jin looked intently at Ian, completely certain of his judgment.
"That's right, how does it feel compared to Netero's strength?"
Ian looked at the other person and said calmly.
Jin Zhenhuan seemed to have given this question serious thought, and then gave an answer.
"If I had to say, your strength was a bit lacking, and the level of your Nen concentration is completely different from the Chairman's. While I wouldn't say you're all show and no substance, if that's all you've got, it's not enough for me. But considering your age, kid, you've already done quite well..."
Ian sighed inwardly.
As expected of a top-tier Nen user, his ability to instantly perceive information is already quite remarkable.
That guy Jin is really troublesome...
If we continue to argue with him, he might actually find out everything about us...
"Heh, you've been beaten to this state by me in one move, yet you still dare to boast so arrogantly?" Ian sneered deliberately.
Jin wasn't angry about this; he just forced an ugly smile and said...
"I know, you're doing this to avenge your comrade, aren't you..."
"Although this is a bit like bullying the weak, kid, how about we take a gamble?"
"Come and have a fair fight with me; the stake is the Dark Sonata in your hand."
"If I win, the Dark Sonata is mine!"
"If I lose..."
Jin rubbed his chin, seemingly pondering something very difficult, and then said.
"Your ability must be related to copying, otherwise you wouldn't be able to possess Netero's abilities!"
"While I'm somewhat surprised that even the president's ability can be copied, it's easy to imagine that the restrictions must be extremely complex. So... if I lose, I can agree to let you copy my ability. What do you think of that proposal?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the Rainbow Rabbit on Chrollo's body and said calmly.
"As for the suppression of your companion, I will remove it regardless of victory or defeat."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Ian couldn't help but admire them.
As expected of Jin, such spirit...
Is it an unwavering belief that you won't lose, or a sense that everything is under your control...?
In any case, you should probably be careful...
"No problem, it's just a Dark Sonata, I can afford to bet..."
Ian can certainly afford to gamble, and he can afford to lose... The Dark Sonata is worthless to him.
Moreover, the opponent was King Freecss, a top-tier Ruin Hunter.
In the original work, the other party took the protagonist Gon to the top of the World Tree. It can be said that this man's actions are the true symbol of the "Hunter" in this world, exploring all kinds of unknowns and endlessly pursuing the curiosity in his heart.
Although it is extremely irresponsible to his family, it also proves the nature of the Hunter profession: to do anything for the goal!
In the future, Ian also wants to take Machi, Uvogin, and the others to travel all over the continent and experience all kinds of wonders and exotic sights.
To be honest, Kim's experience makes him a very suitable guide.
Moreover... since it was Kim who appeared here, Ian understood.
The Underground Ruins Nen Leakage Incident of the Gogar Kingdom didn't cause much of a stir in the original story, probably because it was ultimately resolved by King and the Chairman.
Since the matter has already been handed over to them, offering some support wouldn't hurt.
Ian understands Kim.
This guy, who's only interested in exploring ancient ruins, probably wouldn't want to get involved with something as troublesome as the Dark Sonata unless he had absolutely no other choice.
I wonder if they've attempted to travel to the Dark Continent at this point in time.
Just as Ian was Ian, King heard Ian agree to the bet and a smirk appeared on his face.
"Let me know in advance what kind of competition you'd like. Whether it's a duel or a contest, it's just a form of competitive gaming, and in games... I've never lost!"
Hearing his words, Ian hesitated for a moment.
For some reason, I was reminded of the game that Morel and the Squadron Leader played in the original novel.
Morel, with his great patience and his judgment of the Leopard's impatient nature, ultimately won the victory.
This is the true essence of the Nen user game.
Someone as perceptive as Jin, who can so easily see through people's hearts, must have been conducting a personality assessment on him from the very beginning.
What kind of personality do I have in their eyes...?
What did the other party conclude?
Before long, Ian felt himself getting hot. Sure enough, he wasn't the type of player who was always good at calculations.
Never mind...
Like Uvogin, the best approach is to just go for it without thinking!
"Let's fight!"
"Jin, come and have a good fight with me. If you win, the Dark Sonata is yours for the taking. If you lose, well, I don't need to copy your abilities, but you'll need to cooperate with me to test an item."
Hearing Ian's words, King, though serious, did not hesitate and replied in a deep voice.
"Can!"
As he finished speaking...
"Whoosh!"
Ian vanished from his spot in an instant, and the battle had begun!
That doesn't count as a sneak attack!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Jin and threw a punch with the force of thunder!
"Boom--"
The surrounding air exploded with a series of sounds, and in Ian's eyes, King didn't even have time to react!
They won so quickly!?
"Bang!"
The next moment, Ian's eyes widened. Without him noticing, the seven-colored Rabbit had appeared in front of Jin, and when he punched it, all his force was instantly neutralized, as if hitting cotton!
At this moment, Kim seemed to realize what was happening, looked at Ian was standing close by, and smiled triumphantly.
"You cunning brat!"
"I already anticipated your actions!"
