After lying on the ground alone for nearly an hour, Oboro slowly stood up.

The main reason why Nian was able to fight Netero for so long and even almost outmaneuver the old man is because of his transformation.

This resulted in a qualitative improvement in all of his attributes, whether attack or defense.

But in terms of combat experience and judgment, let alone him, there are probably very few in the entire Hunter World who can compare to Netero... the gap is obvious.

However... once his physical abilities improved to another level and his Nen were redeveloped, Oboro was certain that even if the old man didn't suppress his strength, it wouldn't be so easy for him to defeat him.

Even if he used all of his 'hundred styles'.

At least he can hold out for a while... instead of being instantly killed.

Well... that is, the old man's condition has not recovered.

Over the past three months, Long has been integrating several Chinese Martial Arts techniques recommended by the system, including those that train the back, abdomen, thighs, and so on, for a total of five techniques.

With his previous training experience and foundation, he picked it up very quickly this time, improving his proficiency entirely through high-intensity combat... However, to fully master it and make his flesh and blood become one, it would take at least another year.

However, to his surprise, the system, through analyzing the system of 'thought', recommended a technique that he had never thought of before.

Acupoint and Meridian Manipulation.

Acupressure and pulse manipulation are actually two different techniques, and can be considered a combination of skills.

This technique was developed and improved by the system through calculations to better adapt to 'recitation'.

Therefore, the acupoint striking techniques that Oboro knew in his previous life were somewhat different.

To make acupressure effective, one must master the 'hardness' technique of Nen to an extremely high level, controlling it with complete freedom... because 'hardness' can unleash 100% of its attack power to break through the opponent's Nen power defense, thus allowing acupressure to take effect.

At the same time, it is also necessary to operate the 'flow'.

Because when striking pressure points, the attack is concentrated on the hands, leaving other parts of the body with very weak defenses... This requires Oboro to react faster than others.

The timing for him to cast his skills is extremely tight; if the opponent finds an opening, it will be troublesome.

Therefore... he needs to practice diligently to make his Acupoint and Meridian Manipulation incredibly fast and his defense thorough enough.

In addition, he needs to have a certain understanding of human anatomy and acupoints.

The effect of acupressure is to cause physiological reactions in the flesh and blood tissue, such as numbness, pain, and obstruction of qi and blood. The effect of meridian manipulation is to damage the tendons, bones and meridians in the target's body, causing a large-scale disorder in the body's structure, thereby causing a 'temporary collapse' of breathing, qi circulation and blood flow, and further making the target unable to control their own 'spiritual qi'.

In game terms, it means the 'mana bar' is temporarily sealed, making it impossible to use skills.

Of course, whether it's acupressure or pulse manipulation, the effectiveness depends on the target's own strength.

The more powerful the opponent, the less effective it will be.

These three months of growth have been crucial for Long.

Before this, he was at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the old man standing on the mountaintop.

Now... he has climbed halfway up the mountain.

Being able to engage in unrestrained daily battles with a powerhouse of this caliber is itself a form of accumulating strength.

A week later, the Fills Family received the news.

Oboro is coming back...

Early in the morning, David made preparations, leading his family guards and some gang leaders to stand in the square in front of the palace, waiting for Long to appear.

The creature accompanying him was the Shadow Beasts Worm.

Some time ago... a group of Shadow Beasts led by Owl joined forces to kill a Spiders, which caused quite a stir in the underworld, and even Worm had heard about it.

He had never met Oboro, so he called Owl to find out what was going on... including why they only killed one Spiders? In his opinion, the members of the Phantom Troupe were just slightly more troublesome than ordinary Nen user, with a few tricks up their sleeves... With five companions around, killing a few more wouldn't be difficult.

The Rabid Dog and the Bat also said... the Phantom Troupe was scared away, otherwise why haven't they taken revenge after so long? Clearly, they're too afraid...

Porcupine said that after killing the Spiders, Oboro seemed to have intentionally set up a smokescreen, causing Owl to lead them to chase the Phantom Troupe, but they were distracted and ended up missing... That's why the Phantom Troupe escaped and they couldn't take advantage of the situation to attack.

However, given Oboro's status, they dared not say anything.

When asked, the leader, Xiao, told them not to interfere in Long's game.

Just then, the Worm snapped out of its thoughts and saw a figure appear at the entrance of the palace in front of the square, under the towering portico...

He was dressed in a black suit, a typical Mafia outfit, without a tie, his white shirt was open, and he wore sunglasses.

Short hair...

He looks very young.

It was just perfectly normal Mafia attire, except that his age was somewhat surprising...

It should be noted that the other Ten Dons are all quite old.

"Watch your eyes." David's voice came from beside the Worm as it was stunned.

Then, as David bowed to the man walking towards him, hundreds of core members of the Fills Family nearby followed suit and respectfully lowered their heads.

It was quite a grand affair.

Welcome back.

At the front of the line, Fills Lily, sitting in a wheelchair, listened to the approaching footsteps and chuckled softly.

Long also smiled and hugged her.

He nodded to David, who had stood up beside him.

Immediately, my gaze fell upon the Worm ...

He looks kind of disgusting.

Couldn't you wear some clothes? Completely naked in broad daylight, just wearing a pair of briefs... really...

Long slightly adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with his finger, revealing a pair of eyes as he stared at the Shadow Beasts.

His eyes narrowed...

In an instant, the Worm's expression changed drastically, as if its heart was being gripped by an invisible hand and was about to be crushed at any moment.

The aura he exuded changed in an instant.

Like a wolf cub encountering a lion head-on in the jungle.

As the lion approached, the wolf cub lay on the ground, exposing its belly, and cried out in a childish voice... humble and weak.

Before the Worm realized what was happening, it had already instinctively lowered its head and bent over...

Sweat streamed down his face, which was pressed against the ground...

Pupil dilation.

Anxiety, helplessness...

He didn't even dare to glance at the pair of leather shoes that were slowly approaching.

The man stopped in front of him, his voice cold, "Put your clothes on..."

"Yes."

The Worm's mouth was dry, so it rolled its throat and obediently agreed.

Then, David, along with some gangsters, crowded into the palace. Only after the man's presence had completely faded away did the Worm greedily inhale the air.

This... is the legendary one...

Even though they were genetically modified by drugs... they and their counterparts didn't seem to be from the same dimension.

Can an ordinary human body become this powerful?

In a luxurious palace.

Long casually sat down on the most conspicuous sofa.

David stood behind him, as if he had resumed his role as the 'butler'.

"How's the training going for those new recruits?"

Long took off his sunglasses and asked.

"They've all been arranged to be on the island... Most of them have already awakened their Nen. In addition, construction has begun on the island according to your requirements," Captain Mondel of the guard team replied immediately.

As for the transmission and instruction of recitation, these do not require Oboro's personal involvement.

What he needs to do is provide guidance to these newcomers as they develop their Nen.

The islands Mondel was referring to were some islands near the Six Continents. This is because many areas on the mainland belong to certain powers or countries, while islands vary in size, some are unclaimed, and some are even undeveloped.

Just buy it...

The island purchased by the Fills Family is very small, incomparable to the 'Greed Island' created by Ging Freecss... All Oboro needs is a game map to provide players with a battlefield and space, and it doesn't contain many elements.

Because his goals were different from Ging Freecss's.

"Before developing Nen, I've been having them train in the basics of Nen," Mondel reported. "The main types are Conjuration and Specialization, followed by Transmutation and Manipulation ... Emission and Enhancement are the least common."

"Very good."

Long nodded. "The Enhancement isn't very useful. It mainly serves as a guard on the island, maintaining order among players and upholding the game rules."

Mondel couldn't understand what he meant.

Up to this point, Mondel had no idea what Oboro wanted to do; he was simply following orders.

"Let's go check out the island."

After exchanging a few more words, Long got up and left.

Are we leaving already?

Lily laughed.

He just got back...

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be spending the next year on the island," Oboro said.

We left the main hall.
