Red Dragon's Ability

Fifteen thousand Honor Points and one Talent Point. Just as I expected.

After wrapping up that anticlimactic fight with Illumi, Allen immediately checked his status panel. Aside from receiving nearly five thousand fewer Honor Points than he had for defeating Hisoka, there was basically no difference.

As for the gap in Honor Points, either Illumi had not used his full strength, or he was simply less adaptable than Hisoka in a direct head-on battle.

In any case, according to the PVP system's evaluation, the Zoldyck Family's eldest son was currently rated lower than Hisoka.

Besides that, Allen decided that once the Hunter Exam was over, he would head straight to Sky Arena and grind out ten or twenty Talent Points first, then unlock Attack Aura from the Shooting Talent tree.

You must know, the Attack Strength attribute was equivalent to the base value of a person's attack power and Destructive Power. Strength techniques and Nen merely enhanced that foundation.

Simply put, if a person's Destructive Power from pure muscular explosive force was ten, and both his strength technique and Nen aura output were also ten, then the final Destructive Power would be ten times ten, or one hundred.

But if the Destructive Power generated by his muscles was one hundred, then with the same strength technique and Nen aura output, his Destructive Power would become one thousand.

Meruem in the Ant Arc was the most classic example of this.

Relying on Physical Quality far beyond that of humans, he had never even used "Ken" or "Ko." With just the most basic "Ten," he had easily broken through Chairman Netero's defenses.

Uvogin of the Phantom Troupe was much the same, even reaching the point where he could catch a Rocket Launcher blast barehanded.

Don't ever think there were many Enhancement-type Nen users capable of that!

Quite the opposite!

Most ordinary Nen users would be seriously threatened even by sustained rifle fire, let alone catching a Rocket Launcher barehanded. Against a sniper rifle, if they did not use "Ken" to cover their entire body, they would likely be severely injured or even die on the spot.

Just as Allen sat off to the side alone, thinking about how to make himself stronger, a burst of shocked cries suddenly came from the hall.

He looked up!

Killua, provoked by Illumi, had pierced the heart of the Martial Artist Bodrō.

Bodrō collapsed to the floor with a pained expression, blood spraying continuously from the wound and staining the ground red in the blink of an eye. His pupils slowly dilated and lost focus.

"Damn it! Killua! What are you doing?"

Leorio, who aspired to become a doctor, was the first to rush over, trying to administer first aid and stop the bleeding.

But unfortunately, for someone whose heart had been pierced, it was all futile unless a heart-lung machine was hooked up immediately, followed by an immediate blood transfusion and either suturing or a heart replacement.

Yet Killua, already in a state of mental collapse, turned a deaf ear to everything. After the review committee announced his violation and disqualified him, he simply turned around and walked out through the main entrance, disappearing into the vast crowd.

Only after he had completely vanished from everyone's sight did Allen stand and walk over to Bodrō's body. He looked at Leorio, whose face was filled with indignation and rage, and said, "Move."

"What?"

Leorio was clearly stunned for a moment.

"I said move!"

Allen shoved him aside, directly summoned the Nen Beast—the Red Dragon of Life—and, using the Red Dragon's enormous body as cover, poured a bottle of healing potion into Bodrō's mouth. Then he bit his finger, inserted it into the Red Dragon's mouth, and softly chanted, "Activate ability—Gift of Life!"

In an instant!

An astonishing Nen ability beyond description descended from above, continuously drawing some invisible energy from his body.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, the Red Dragon turned and breathed a mass of blazing Fire of Life onto Bodrō's motionless "corpse."

In the blink of an eye!

This middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties became visibly younger, while the horrifying wound through his chest rapidly healed.

By the time the flames symbolizing life had completely died out, Bodrō had become a healthy young man of around thirty, his body completely intact.

Meanwhile, Allen seemed to have matured slightly.

In particular, his height, which had originally been less than 1.67 meters, had increased by a full three or four centimeters. He had officially crossed the 1.7-meter threshold and finally escaped the embarrassing status of a "third-class cripple."

About one or two seconds later, the rejuvenated Bodrō woke from his shock-induced coma. He instinctively touched his chest, then his younger face, and muttered in disbelief, "What happened? Wasn't I already dead?"

"Th-the dead have come back to life?!!!!!!"

Leorio was so shocked by what he saw that he nearly jumped off the ground.

Not just him—every referee, examiner, and candidate was too stunned to speak.

But Chairman Netero, with his rich life experience, was the first to recover. He asked meaningfully, "Your ability transfers your own lifespan and life force to others, doesn't it?"

"Hmm, that's right." Allen nodded with a smile.

More precisely, it used the unique traits of Azerath's Red Dragons to link him with a designated target.

If the Red Dragon's body contained life force and lifespan taken from others, it would consume those reserves.

If not, it would consume his own lifespan and the Health Points on the Hunter Class Panel, allowing the other party to rapidly recover from their injuries or even become younger.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the human body's most important organ—the brain—had not been destroyed or had not died.

Allen had done this partly because he felt that a Martial Artist like Bodrō, with such an upright character and strong sense of honor, should not die so casually. The other reason was that he desperately hoped to grow taller and develop into a more mature body.

Otherwise, given the Night Elves' immense lifespan measured in tens of thousands of years, he would probably need a hundred years or more just to get through adolescence.

But what no one knew was that if this ability were used in reverse, it would take from the other person everything that could be taken...

"Hohohoho! Sacrificing yourself for others—what an admirable ability. Since contestant Killua has been disqualified for intentional murder, I now announce that all remaining candidates present have passed this year's Hunter Exam."

Accompanied by Chairman Netero's signature laughter, the 287th Hunter Exam finally came to an end.

Aside from Gon, who was lying unconscious in the hospital after being knocked out during his match with Hanzo, most of the other candidates could not help smiling with joy.

However, unlike normal people, Hisoka's smile carried a sense of excitement, madness, and sickness, while he continuously radiated astonishing killing intent in every direction.

Fortunately, he could not use any Nen abilities at the moment. Like a ferocious beast with its teeth and claws pulled out, no matter how crazed he appeared, there was no need to pay him much attention.

In stark contrast, Illumi's eyes were filled with greed and longing for the Red Dragon's ability.

After all, as long as someone was human, they could be injured, grow old, and die. Allen's ability could perfectly negate all of that.
