Should he invest his energy and time in Kashi Toru and Calista?

Moro had already made his decision since the match ended.

He could invest time and energy into this, provided there was a return.

Moro walked ahead, leading Kashi Toru and Calista directly to the 200th floor.

After advancing to the 200th floor, contestants had to register before midnight on the same day, or they would be considered to have forfeited their qualification.

Taking the elevator to the 200th floor, Moro followed the signs on the wall towards the registration area.

However, after walking only a short distance, a killing intent came from ahead.

This killing intent was not strong.

But it was undoubtedly aimed at Moro.

Facing the sudden killing intent aura, Moro's expression remained unchanged as he walked forward.

The people releasing the killing intent were clearly more than one, and they weren't being excessive; at most, it was a minor show of force.

Of course—

If Moro wasn't a Nen user, then killing intent tinged with Nen wouldn't appear here.

After all, a rookie who didn't understand Nen was essentially a walking cash machine.

The contestants on the 200th floor, seeing this, would be too busy welcoming him to scare off a newcomer, so why would they bother?

Killing intent auras, like thick smoke, surged from both sides of the corridor's corner, filling the path to the registration area.

This level of aura was as bland as air in front of Moro.

But for Kashi Toru and Calista behind Moro, the experience was entirely different.

Even though they were merely caught in the crossfire, they felt as if they were truly in the bone-chilling depths of the sea.

"What is this..."

Kashi Toru and Calista felt a chill run through their bodies, and each step felt as heavy as if they were walking through lead.

But—

They had to follow!

Seeing Moro showing no intention of stopping, the two could only grit their teeth, using their willpower to drive their heavy steps, barely keeping up with Moro.

Moro never looked back, but he could hear the heavy breathing of Kashi Toru and Calista.

"Not bad."

Moro muttered to himself, slowing his pace appropriately.

If it were him, he might not have been able to perform much better than the two.

Soon, Moro arrived at the lobby where the registration area was located and scanned his surroundings.

People were standing at the corners of the corridors leading to various areas, as well as by the walls where the vending machines were placed.

Their gazes were all focused on Moro.

Moro, of course, ignored this group of Nen users lying in wait and walked directly to the registration desk, completing the signature registration under the guidance of the counter staff.

Matches on the 200th floor and above were changed to a declaration system; as long as it was within the 90-day limit, contestants could choose any day to participate.

Moro had no intention of declaring a match for the time being. After completing the registration, he took the already sweating Kashi Toru and Calista to their newly assigned rooms.

"How did that feel?"

Once in the new room, Moro looked at Kashi Toru and Calista, whose faces were a little pale.

The negative emotions tinged with Nen were a mental attack that ordinary people could not resist.

Kashi Toru said with a solemn expression, "I felt like I could barely breathe, and when I walked forward, I could clearly feel resistance."

"I felt pretty much the same... like walking underwater."

Calista raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her neck and frowned, "Was it those people near the registration area..."

"That's right, they were the ones who did it."

Moro looked at the two and said calmly, "However, they were targeting me, not you. It's just that the power of 'Nen' is too threatening to ordinary people, so even a small ripple effect was enough to make it impossible for you to move."

"Nen...!"

Kashi Toru and Calista's spirits lifted.

Their personal experience just now made them even more eager for this unknown power.

At this moment, all they wanted to know was whether they had the conditions to learn this power.

"Mr. Moro, can I learn..."

"As long as you train, everyone can master this ability."

Moro knew what they were about to ask and interrupted them directly.

Then, without regard for their reactions, his tone suddenly became serious, "I can help you awaken this power, but I have one condition."

"Hm?"

Kashi Toru and Calista stared intently at Moro upon hearing his words.

Meeting their questioning gazes, Moro said:

"I have to kill someone within a year. That person is incredibly strong, so... I'll teach you Nen, but you have to 'assist' me in killing that person. This might cost you your lives."

At this point, Moro paused, subtly observing their reactions. He saw no hesitation from either of them.

"Of course..."

He immediately added, "It's fine if you refuse. I'll still tell you the secrets of 'Nen.' As for how to awaken this power, you'll have to figure that out yourselves."

"Mr. Moro, I have no problem with it!"

As Moro finished speaking, Calista declared her resolve without hesitation.

This time, she was quicker than Kashi Toru.

Kashi Toru followed suit, saying, "I have no problem either."

In truth, to both of them, when Moro was about to lead them into the world of "Nen," it was equivalent to establishing a master-disciple relationship.

And whatever a master asked a disciple to do, the disciple would naturally have no objections.

"Good."

Moro smiled.

Compared to Calista, Moro understood Kashi Toru better.

However, in his opinion, Calista's disposition wasn't bad either.

His reasoning was that on the day of the preliminary selection match, Calista had deliberately held back her strength during their first exchange because she saw how young he was.

Moro tapped his chin with a finger, thinking to himself: Kashi Toru is an Enhancer, and Calista is likely an Emitter... As for her specific category, we'll need to use the Water Divination method to know for sure.

As his thoughts turned, Moro skipped the lengthy introduction to Nen and suddenly asked the two, "Are you afraid of dying?"

In response to Moro's sudden question, Kashi Toru and Calista naturally answered that they were not afraid.

And so—

Moro forcibly opened their pores by using the "opening Nen" method.

Instantly, large amounts of Nen, like steam, surged from Kashi Toru and Calista's bodies. uncontrolled, it shot upwards like pillars towards the sky before quickly dissipating.

"This is... the power hidden within me!"

Kashi Toru's eyes reflected a bright light, it was unclear if it was Nen or the glint in his eyes.

Calista, however, looked solemnly at the large amount of Nen rapidly vanishing above Kashi Toru's head, murmuring to herself, "If I don't control it before it completely dissipates, I'll... die!"

Not far away.

Moro watched the two whose pores had been forcibly opened with a calm expression.

The flow of Nen within their bodies wouldn't kill them.

But if they couldn't master "Ten" for a long time and allowed their Nen to remain in a state of continuous outflow, there would be risks such as sudden death from overexertion.

However, the possibility of that was very low.

Moro told them that the flow of Nen meant imminent death to make them learn "Ten" faster under the pressure of death.

There was no other way...

After all, his time was precious.

Bzzzt—

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Moro took out his phone. It was a message from Argo: The Phantom Troupe has shown themselves. They've looted the Navis National Treasure Hall.

"Are they making their move already..."

Looking at the message content, Moro's eyes narrowed slightly.
