Sky Arena

Sky Arena was a magnificent structure located within the Batorukia Republic, standing 991 meters tall with a total of 251 floors.

According to the official description, this was paradise for fighting enthusiasts from around the world, as well as a place where all kinds of Martial Artists and Nen users could make a name for themselves.

As long as one had a certain level of strength, they could earn prize money for living expenses by fighting in the arena while honing their skills and strength through constant battle. Naturally, it attracted countless people confident in their abilities.

Looking at the bustling crowd at the entrance, Allen could not help but smile and remark, "Should I say it really is Sky Arena? There are actually this many people just at the registration desk."

"Hahahaha! Don't let the crowd fool you. Most of them are just here for fun. More than ninety percent of people will never make it past the fiftieth floor in their lives," Bodrō explained with a hearty laugh.

From the cheerfulness and confidence he displayed now, it was not difficult to see that he had initially grasped Nen abilities and was diligently training the four basic techniques.

"You've been here before?" Allen asked curiously.

Bodrō nodded with nostalgia. "Yes! I came here a few times when I was young. At my best, I reached the 160th floor. But now, I'm confident I can fight my way straight to the 200th floor."

"Don't get careless! In the world of Nen, combat wisdom and abilities are just as important as strength. Before you understand your opponent's ability, the greatest taboo is underestimating them. Besides, you've only mastered the four basics. You're still far from becoming a true expert." Allen took the opportunity to drill the essentials of Nen combat into the Martial Artist.

Even without conducting a Water Divination test, he could tell that Bodrō was one hundred percent a straightforward Enhancer. And the mistakes Enhancers were most prone to were carelessness and excessive confidence.

Looking through the entire Hunter x Hunter anime, Uvogin, Cheetu, Gon, Rabid Dog...

Nearly every one of them had made those two mistakes more than once. Some had even paid for them with their lives.

"Understood! Please rest assured, I won't disgrace you." Bodrō respectfully bent at the waist and bowed.

"No, this isn't about whether you disgrace me or not. Sigh... forget it. Do as you please." Allen wore a helpless expression.

Clearly, this Martial Artist had taken him for a teacher who had taught him Nen abilities. Combined with Allen's previous life-saving favor, Bodrō was always exceedingly respectful toward him.

Led by the experienced Bodrō, the two quickly completed registration and officially began their journey through Sky Arena.

Since they were both Nen users, ordinary contestants were no match for them. They could not even break through the layer of Ten around their bodies. Without much effort, they easily reached the 180th floor and earned a hefty sum in prize money.

Just as Allen joked that their living expenses for the next few months were settled, he suddenly spotted his name on the notice board. He immediately handed the juice in his hand to Bodrō. "Hold this for me. I'll be right back."

"With your strength, I'm sure you can defeat your opponent in a second."

"That's hard to say. I might happen to run into a Nen user..."

Before he could finish, Allen saw a little boy in a white martial arts uniform step onto the arena.

It was none other than Zushi, who had appeared many times in the anime and was currently studying Shingen-ryu.

When Allen glanced toward the stands, he indeed saw Wing, wearing glasses and looking stern.

"Heh, this really is an unexpected surprise. Did you sense the aura that boy released?" Allen asked with a smile.

"How incredible! He started training in Nen at such a young age?" There was a hint of envy in Bodrō's voice.

If he had been able to learn Nen while he was young, he would not have wasted so many years in the Hunter Exam at his age, nor would he have nearly been killed for no apparent reason.

"I'm heading to the match. We'll talk later."

After saying that, Allen leaped from below onto the arena. Under the gazes of countless spectators, he released his Nen. "Finally, a decent opponent. I believe you think so too, don't you?"

"Nen..."

Zushi was clearly startled.

"That's right! Since we're both Ability Users, let's remove our restrictions and fight with our full strength. Let me see the results of your training. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you." Allen instantly erupted with an astonishing amount of aura, nearly blowing the referee beside him off the arena.

So strong!

Zushi immediately recognized the enormous gap between himself and his opponent, and quickly turned his gaze toward Wing in the stands.

After realizing Allen's overwhelming strength, the latter decisively nodded, allowing his disciple to give it everything he had.

Having received permission, Zushi released his own aura as well and gave a solemn bow. "Please guide me!"

"The match begins!"

At the referee's command, Zushi charged forward first, launching an attack with a considerable amount of aura gathered around both fists.

"Not bad spirit, but you're too slow."

Allen simply sidestepped, then casually stuck out a leg and tripped him.

Poor Zushi crashed hard to the ground. But protected by his Ten, he quickly climbed back to his feet and continued swinging his fists, trying to strike the opponent standing so close before him.

But with the massive gap in their Agility attributes, no matter how hard he tried, he could not even touch Allen's clothes. In the end, he could only bring out his trump card, gathering all his aura into his fist to form Ko, intending to increase its Destructive Power and attack range enough to hit his opponent at least once.

However, the preparation and charging time took too long. Before he could finish, Allen knocked him unconscious with a single punch, ending this vastly uneven match ahead of schedule.

When Allen stepped down from the arena, he discovered that defeating Zushi had given him fewer than fifty Honor Points, while his Talent Points remained at zero—not a single point had been awarded.

Clearly, under the PVP system's judgment, Honor Points were awarded based on the opponent's strength. The stronger the opponent, the more Honor Points one received; the weaker the opponent, the fewer.

In comparison, Talent Points could only be obtained once an opponent's strength reached a certain threshold. Fighting a Nen user did not automatically guarantee them.

After figuring out those two points, Allen immediately muttered in a voice only he could hear, "As expected, I still need to hunt strong opponents! I just wonder whether repeatedly farming the same person causes diminishing Honor returns, and whether Talent Points will keep dropping. If there's no reduction and I can keep getting Talent Points, then Hisoka might really become an inexhaustible gold mine..."

Fortunately, because he knew the plot inside out, he knew that the Phantom Troupe would soon put on a grand performance in Yorknew City. When that time came, he could join forces with Kurapika and Hisoka to hunt the Spider's limbs.

He especially wanted several members' exceptionally unique abilities.

Besides, nearly every member of the Phantom Troupe was a butcher with countless lives on their hands. Hunting them would require no psychological burden whatsoever, and he could feed the ravenous Red Dragon in the process.
