Breaking Out of the Cocoon

The martial arts master became a style master because Oboro had mastered the techniques of Acupoint and Meridian Manipulation and Breath Control Technique.

Several different breathing techniques also thoroughly tempered the internal organs.

It possesses an astonishing concentration and strength of Qi and blood... manifested in several aspects such as hardness, self-healing speed, and efficiency in providing bodily functions.

His physical condition has now reached a level of 'thousands of temperings', achieving a perfect harmony between the inside and outside.

Therefore, the attribute evaluation was upgraded from Tier 1 Superhuman to Tier 2.

As for Nen's level, as a sub-world-class Hunter x Hunter, it is entirely due to the passive skill Damnation, which is the effect of increasing 'spell power' by picking up souls.

In fact, his own mastery of the art of mind has improved very little in the past two years... This thing is like leveling up, it gets harder and harder as you progress.

It was precisely because of the passive skill "Damnation" that Oboro was able to break through limitations without restriction, allowing her to grow from a national-level Hunter x Hunter to a sub-world-level hunter.

Otherwise, given his talent, reaching the national level would likely have been a bottleneck for him...

His greater potential lies in his physical body; his understanding and application of Nen are merely quite good.

With Nunu effort, I could break through to the sub-world level, but it certainly wouldn't be that fast.

Moreover... they will inevitably stop at this level and it will be difficult to make further progress.

In the original work, the concept of "Nian" was later introduced as having an attribute cloud.

The so-called attribute cloud represents a person's level of Nen. Note that it is Nen, not technique! Nor is it a person's strength level... it is only Nen.

It can reflect a person's current level of 'thought'...

The attribute clouds, from low to high, are: Excellent, Outstanding, Talented, and Extreme.

Among them, Chairman Netero, Chimera Ant King Meruem, and Zeno Zoldyck are all at the extreme level, Silva, Chrollo, Hisoka, and Uvogin are at the talent level.

Shizuku is 'Show' in the Phantom Troupe, while the protagonist Gon is 'Excellent', which means he's the worst.

The level of the attribute cloud can be increased... After all, Gon is just a teenager, so it's not surprising that he's superior.

Because after he turned to the dark side, that is, the adult 'Da Jie', his attribute cloud is also extremely high.

Based on Long's understanding of his current strength, his attribute cloud should be at the 'talent' level.

Attribute clouds and so-called top-tier Nen users are two different things...

Since it's Nen, it naturally relates to its development and subsequent growth.

Without the Damnation and the Absolution, he might have remained just that... but now he has the chance to reach the strongest 'Extreme'! The attributes represented by the cloud are rather singular...

Even Oboro's system panel only reflects data, not his true combat strength.

Based on the passive effect of the Nen to Absolution.

His current attack range has expanded to five meters.

In the first year of leading Menchi and the others on missions, the Nen user they killed were all very strong due to the difficulty of the missions... In the second year, Oboro roughly estimated that he had killed no less than three thousand Magical Beasts.

I've traveled all over the Six Continents.

Although the stacked passive layers are very high and look intimidating, the actual improvement brought by the Magical Beasts is still very limited because their strength cannot compare with that of Nen user.

However, the extra five meters of attack range is already extremely frightening.

Combined with Oboro's acupressure techniques, it's incredibly powerful... acupressure from a distance, impossible to defend against.

The increased distance also compensates for the weakness of having to concentrate Nen power at the fingertips when striking pressure points, thus preventing the enemy from finding an opening.

As for the critical hit rate, it's 100%! Each of his attacks will at least double in power...

If the critical hit rate exceeds 100%, it will be converted into Life Steal, which is now 20%... allowing him to recover life at a rate of one-fifth based on the damage he creates.

Armor, or physical defense, has not yet been tested to what level Oboro has reached.

Because in the past two years, nothing has been able to threaten his existence or break his defenses.

The same goes for Faqiang... there's nothing he can't break through.

These are all basic attributes... not including his combat skills and Nen techniques.

In other words... although he is not Enhancement Nen user, the strength of his Nen power is now at a level that inspires awe.

The reason why Oboro was certain of his previous limit, at the sub-world level, with his attribute cloud in the 'talent' column, was because Hisoka and Chrollo were also at this level a few years later.

Of course, this only refers to their talent level. In terms of overall Nen ability, apart from Chrollo, the other members of the Phantom Troupe are at best relatively outstanding national-level Nen user.

The only one who has a chance of breaking through is Chrollo ...

Oboro is able to be compared to people like Hisoka and Chrollo because of his physical potential and understanding of Nen.

When he first arrived in this world, the gap between him and Hisoka was quite obvious.

But now... Oboro is certain that he can easily defeat Hisoka in various ways.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hisoka is now likely at the level of a national-level Hunter x Hunter.

He once told Hisoka that as time went on, it would become increasingly difficult for Hisoka to defeat him... He wasn't joking.

"I must go to the Dark Continent... If I can hunt down the life forms on that continent, the boost I will receive from the soul matter and black mist will be unimaginable."

Looking at the rising golden sun, feeling the warmth of its rays, he smiled.

"Right now... in this world, the only individuals who can truly pose a threat to me... among humans, there should only be a very small group of Nen user."

Once you become a world-class Hunter x Hunter.

What will his ranking be?

Can he break into the top ten? Although he is still at the sub-world level, Oboro feels that his true combat strength, even if he cannot be compared with someone like Netero, can at least put up a fight.

His body was very strong, which caused his energy to surge dramatically.

Especially with the bonuses to armor and spell power, it should be able to withstand several hits from the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"This level is fine in the human world, but it would probably be like being sent to the Dark Continent... There's no need to worry about the strength of Nen, there's no such thing as a bottleneck, and the ability will eventually reach the extreme realm. But, no matter how great the potential of the physical body is, it's still too difficult to reach Netero's peak in his youth... Right now, my body is comparable to his in old age... In other words, the upper limit of my physical body is Netero in his twilight years."

"I can't help but laugh at myself," Long said self-deprecatingly.

The stronger one is and the higher one's realm, the clearer one's vision becomes.

A few years ago, even though I knew that Netero was very strong... it was only a vague understanding.

There's a reason this old man stands at the pinnacle of Hunter x Hunter.

It's not hard to see how terrifying Gon and Killua's talents are...

The Gon turned to the dark side in later years overdrawn his future, and his killing of Neferpitou was definitely on par with Netero at his peak.

However, Oboro was not discouraged.

Because the system has already provided a perfect solution.

Having reached the pinnacle of his physical abilities, he now had the possibility of taking another step...

Like Acupoint and Meridian Manipulation, it is a treasured inheritance from a previous life.

Acupuncture and medicinal baths! Acupuncture stimulates the meridians and bones, while tonics break down the body's limitations!

Since we cannot alter our innate constitution, we can only nourish our flesh and blood through our acquired means!

"We really can't afford to slack off even a little bit..."

"I can't believe it," Long said with heartfelt emotion.

With a leap, he jumped down from the gap in the tree canopy, thousands of meters high.
