New Ability X True Purpose

Kevin had previously discussed Nen ability in depth with Kurapika and the others, explaining the knowledge of Nen ability to them in detail.

Therefore, they are not confused about this matter.

Simply restate the facts as they are.

"First, there are the Four Major Principles, I've told you about them before, haven't I?" Kevin asked.

The three nodded.

This is all very important knowledge, and it's not information that's particularly difficult to remember.

"That makes things easier. Now that you've mastered [Entanglement], the next thing to consider is how to completely gather your Qi into your body and reach the state of [Absolute].

"After that, try to control your Nen Aura and let it burst out according to your own will; this is [practice]."

"This technique must be mastered and practiced frequently. It is a very effective training method that can significantly enhance your strength."

Once you've mastered these three basic skills, it's time for the final [performance].

"At this stage, you should be working on developing your Nen ability. I will then test you to determine your Nen affiliation."

"But before that, you must master the first three fundamental skills to an extremely high level."

After speaking, Kevin looked at the three of them calmly.

Kurapika and his friends already had some understanding of Nen ability concepts from when Kevin explained them to them earlier, so they were not unfamiliar with them and could understand them relatively easily.

Although they both harbored hatred in their hearts, after meeting Kevin...

Kevin then intentionally guided them to view this hatred in a more appropriate way.

He wasn't telling them to give up on revenge, but rather instilling in them the idea that "revenge doesn't have to be rushed."

The wisdom of our ancestors.

"A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years."

When you lack the strength, it's essential to be patient and timid.

It's not like they lack the talent and ability.

Not to mention, their targets weren't fools either; a dozen or so Nen user acted together, and they were extremely secretive about their information, making them almost impossible to detect.

They've been wanted for several years, but no one has actually caught one of them.

So these guys will definitely live well and wait for their revenge.

Kevin confidently told them, "With the help of my Nen ability, and your own considerable talent, it won't be long before you surpass those who slaughtered your people."

"At that time, you will naturally be able to seek justice from them and give them a taste of their own medicine."

The beautiful vision that Kevin described was exactly what they longed for in their hearts.

In addition, Kevin's usual care and meticulous guidance made them trust Kevin completely.

Uncle Kevin wouldn't possibly harm us, would he?

Therefore, although their hatred has not diminished, they are not in a hurry to take revenge, nor will they be blinded by hatred and lose their reason.

In this respect, Kevin particularly admires Pairo.

Without a doubt, Pairo harbored the most intense hatred among the three.

After all, at such a young age, he witnessed that horrific tragedy firsthand.

His father fought valiantly, both for revenge and to cover the retreat.

However, he also had the strongest emotional control among the three, making him arguably the most rational.

After Kevin pointed them in the right direction, Pairo knew exactly what he had to do and how to do it, and he buried his hatred deep in his heart.

Kurapika also harbors hatred, but it's not as deeply ingrained as Pairo's, and he's more prone to emotional outbursts.

He can be described as a passionate and enthusiastic young man, but he is also rational and clear about his goals.

As for Rosana, needless to say, her main focus was on protecting the few remaining family members around her.

The radiance of motherhood was fully displayed in her.

The longer Kevin admired their rationality.

He thought to himself that if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do what they did.

Since he couldn't do it himself, but others could, Kevin naturally felt deep admiration.

Kevin snapped out of his brief thoughts, looked at the three people who were as excited as if they had received a new toy, and did not disturb them further.

Wasn't I like that back then?

After the three had gotten to know each other for a while, Kevin continued, "Above the Four Major Principles, there are Seven Techniques."

These are various techniques for using Nen ability. However, you need to master the basic abilities first before I teach you.

"Now you understand? You can first feel the changes in your own bodies, and then you will need to train your Nen ability every day."

"Physical training certainly cannot be neglected; it is the foundation of everything. But now we need to pay attention to the balance between the two."

With that, Kevin simply started training with the three of them.

At this stage, he also needs to shift his focus to developing "Nen Aura".

Over the past six months, he has fully unleashed his powerful physique, training intensely to enhance his physical fitness, and has now laid a solid foundation.

Now, he was going to unleash a massive amount of Nen from this strong body.

The training and development of Nen ability cannot be accomplished overnight; it is a long process.

In addition to training with the three, Kevin began to devote more time to "Nen ability development".

Now, he is adept at materializing "Syringe," and creating a Syringe is no challenge for him.

According to Biscuit's understanding and explanation of Nen ability:

The essence of materialization is to reinforce the rules of existing objects; it is the ability to formulate rules for objects.

Suppose that someone's materialization ability is to materialize a balloon.

Therefore, this person can take the Specialization of the balloon to extremes, and even endow the "balloon" with some functions that it did not originally have.

For example, since balloons have the property of floating, their buoyancy can be enhanced, allowing an ordinary balloon to carry people into the sky.

For example, if a balloon can explode, then enhance its explosive power, turning the balloon directly into a bomb.

Setting rules is like giving balloons abilities that didn't exist before.

For example, it can be defined that the balloon it materializes has a scanning function, enabling it to see objects in place of the eyes.

This ability is granted to the balloon through Bargain and Vow.

Alternatively, the balloon could be given the ability to sense danger; it would burst if danger approached, thus serving as a warning.

Such are the characteristics of the ability to visualize concepts.

Kevin looked at the specially made Syringe in his hand, which he had almost polished to a shine.

First, he made it clear that the Syringe was essentially a derivative of his Nen ability, [Moment's Dream].

Its purpose is to enhance and supplement the details of [Moment's Dream].

As his body grew stronger, Kevin's aura reached 21,000, and his Memory Capacity was enough to support him in building an additional derivative Nen ability.

After all, this isn't a primary Nen ability; it's an add-on with minimal requirements.

Currently, the basic conditions for success have been met.

Next, Kevin needs to clarify what functions he wants this Syringe to have.

His goal was to further enhance the efficacy of the medicine he created.

Since this is Nen ability he created himself, it is necessary to clarify the effect that the Nen ability is meant to achieve, as well as the specific methods and degrees of enhancement.

After careful consideration, Kevin decided to enhance the Syringe's injection capabilities.

He hoped that he wouldn't need to deliberately aim at a specific part of the body for the injection; as long as the Syringe was inserted into the body, the drug inside would be injected immediately and spread rapidly to take effect.

There's no need to overthink this, since his potion itself has that ability.

Then, Kevin also needs to reinforce some abstract concepts about Syringe.

The purpose of Syringe is to deliver medication into the body to achieve effects that cannot be achieved orally.

For example, a certain drug can be taken orally or injected. Injection is often more effective and faster-acting than oral administration.

This is a normal, logical, and realistic problem.

Kevin wanted to emphasize this concept of making the drug more effective.

A potion made from Nen ability is still a medicine, and Kevin's Nen ability was built upon this potion; that's its essence.

This Nen ability is essentially an additional extension and enhancement of the original function, so there is no need to add any unnecessary abilities; it is sufficient to focus on strengthening these two core functions.

After defining his goal and conceiving the desired effect, Kevin began to formally construct and materialize this Nen ability.

Just like when he materialized the Alchemy Table, Kevin tried hard to find that feeling, clearly conceiving in his mind what he wanted to materialize, and deeply imprinting all the details in his mind.

Qi began to instinctively surge from his hands and gather, gradually condensing into a shape, and a seemingly real object slowly appeared in his hand.

Thus, a Syringe consisting of a needle and a syringe tube was brought to life.

Its appearance is quite different from that of a real Syringe, after all, Kevin had been repeatedly studying a specially made Syringe.

It has a crystal-like transparent texture, dotted with sparkling colors, and a red stone symbol is imprinted on it.

This is probably because Kevin has been thinking too much about Red Stone Pharmaceuticals lately, and without realizing it, he just printed the logo on it as a decoration.

This can be considered one of Kevin's more prominent representative badges, and it can also be seen as a connection to the potion.

No matter how you look at it, this symbolic meaning appears on the syringe.

The syringe lacks a traditional propulsion mechanism; instead, it is designed to be nested within the medication.

It is a relatively advanced Syringe with a central cavity that is just the right size to insert the medication.

Even if it's a pre-packaged medicine, it can be extracted out of thin air.

As for Nen ability, you can't expect them to be exactly the same as real-world potions.

Looking at the needle tip, at first glance it seems ordinary and unremarkable.

Upon closer inspection, there was really nothing special about it; it was just an ordinary needle.

[Syringe]

Kevin looked at the Nen ability in his hand and inserted the prepared medicine into the syringe.

It was inserted directly into his own thigh.

As the needle pierced my thigh, I felt a slight stinging sensation.

The potion disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, Kevin simply let go.

Within two seconds, the drug was completely absorbed into the body, and then the Syringe itself disappeared after use.

The potion Kevin used this time was a [Power Potion].

He was so familiar with this potion that he could accurately judge the differences it brought about, even the subtlest ones.

This will be a good opportunity to verify the differences brought about by my Nen ability.

He immediately felt an effect that was completely different from before.

The drug's effects became stronger, seemingly enhanced in some way.

However, the enhancement effect is limited, but that's understandable.

Kevin actively activated [Blank Meteor], intending to continue updating his memory of the potion's effects.

But it clearly failed.

Although the drug's effects were enhanced, Kevin was unable to retain the memory through the enhanced effects of the [Syringe].

All he could remember were the effects of the "oral" medication.

However, the improvement brought by the [Syringe] is that the duration of the effect of the injected medicine is doubled.

The time has been extended from fifteen minutes to half an hour.

This represents a significant leap forward, giving Kevin's combat capabilities a much greater degree of sustainability.

This allows the body to retain the effects of the medication for a longer period of time.

Moreover, because it is administered via injection, the "memory" left by the medication in the body is more profound.

This is the key point Kevin truly focused on in developing this Nen ability; this is the most important thing.

In other words, what used to require 10 doses of the drug to establish a memory now only requires about 7 or 6 doses.

This is crucial for Kevin.

His Nen ability work together, with the core objective of ensuring the effects of the "potion" are permanent. Everything he does is for this purpose.

Everything else is just an add-on.

He reinforced and abstracted the concept of "muscle memory" in an attempt to make the body remember things that would otherwise be impossible to remember through muscle memory.

This is precisely the characteristic of enhancement-type Nen abilities; the essence of enhancement-type Nen is to enhance existing traits.

Whether it's strengthening one's own inherent Specialization or the Specialization of external objects, it can be reinforced into some seemingly illogical "abstract concept."

It makes people exclaim, "Is this even a thing?"

But that's precisely the unique charm of Enhancement Type abilities.

The key to Enhancement Type moves is, of course, throwing powerful punches, but don't think that Enhancement Type are limited to throwing powerful punches.

Each department is extremely profound.

Once you understand Kevin's goals, you'll see that everything he does has a reason.

Kevin concocted various potions and also acquired many materials.

He had to admit that many high-grade rare materials are "unique".

The "uniqueness" here does not mean absolute uniqueness, but rather that it is very difficult to find an identical organism and the materials it produces.

The most typical example is the Jewel Fish scales that Biscuit gave him. They were a product of mutated fish, and finding the same creature as material again would be incredibly difficult.

There are countless examples like this.

Although Kevin calls himself Phantom Beast Hunter, he has never actually seen Phantom Beast, and the only Rare Beast he has ever seen is Two-headed wolf.

I have seen quite a few Demonic Beast.

The dangerous forbidden areas are mostly due to the large number of Demonic Beast that inhabit them.

Phantom Beast are called Phantom Beast because they are extremely rare, existing only in legends and a few scattered clues.

These Beasts almost all possess the characteristic of "uniqueness," and the materials they produce are naturally very limited.

If these materials can be used to create the highly effective [potion] that Kevin dreams of, then the body will need to "memorize" the abilities granted by the potion.

However, Kevin clearly sensed that developing special abilities like bodily memory was a gradual process.

Furthermore, the amount of medication required for the memorization process varies depending on the ability and the effectiveness of the medication.

It is certain that the more powerful and rare a power is, the harder it is for the body to memorize it.

This means that more medicine will be needed to achieve the goal.

But what if the quantity of potions produced is limited? What if it's impossible to fully remember all these abilities?

Taking the [Power Potion] as an example, its effects increase gradually, even after the potion is used up.

Skills can also be learned.

It may not achieve the best results, but at least Hao Sui has mastered a skill.

But with abilities like the [Iron Wall Potion], you either learn it or you don't. If you're missing just one potion, you'll never master that ability.

Even if the progress bar reaches 99%, it's useless if it's just 1% short.

Kevin experienced this kind of torment when he was trying to memorize the "Iron Wall" ability.

I had prepared about twenty vials of the medicine, but in the end, I only had three or four left. The emotional ups and downs were really unbearable.

If you fail to memorize the skill, all your previous efforts will be in vain, resulting in huge losses.

These potions provide powerful buffs when used in battle, and the ability to remember also comes into play in combat.

The problem is that these rare medicines are limited in number.

Therefore, medication must be taken during daily training to improve memory.

But if you turn all the rare materials into potions and then use them during your studies, you might not learn the corresponding abilities.

However, all these medications were used up during training, so they couldn't be saved for emergencies. That would be a huge waste.

From acquiring rare materials to crafting the potion, and then spending time training, the vast amount of effort and resources invested in this process could all be wasted.

Just thinking about it makes Kevin's heart ache.

Therefore, the primary function of the [Syringe] Nen ability is not to enhance the effects of the medicine; that is merely a secondary benefit.

Its core function is to extend the duration of the potion's effect; doubling the duration is equivalent to having double the amount of potion.

At the same time, it enhances the depth of the drug's effects in the body, making it easier for the body to remember these abilities.

Now that he has achieved both of his goals, Kevin feels that his Nen ability development has been a great success.

"Cool!"

Kevin was overjoyed by his success.

"So here's the question: does the Secondary Refinement I want require additional Memory Capacity, or can it be improved automatically once I become stronger?"

The idea of Secondary Refinement was inspired by Qiduo.

Combining the three ingredients in the refining process may not necessarily achieve the perfect result one desires.

Simply put, they've become more greedy.

I want a more powerful and comprehensive potion.

So Qiduo asked him, "Could you use the prepared potion as one ingredient, and then add other ingredients to it for Secondary Refinement process?"

At least at the time, Kevin thought it wouldn't work, and experiments proved that to be true.

The problem is that Qiduo has very high hopes for this possibility.

It must be acknowledged that, as one of the Twelve Zodiacs, Qiduo's research into Nen ability is extremely profound, something Kevin currently cannot match.

So even as they parted, Qiduo was still reminding Kevin that he might as well try to explore in this direction.

Kevin had also consulted Biscuit about this issue.

Biscuit indicated that such a possibility exists.

As one's strength increases, their original Nen ability become more powerful. The most basic manifestation of this is that side effects are reduced or even eliminated, and the original effects are enhanced.

This is normal, it should be.

While "Specialization Type" Nen ability are innate and do not require manual development, many of these abilities can be upgraded after certain conditions are met.

Some of them become even more powerful as their strength increases, but this is more likely to happen than with other types.

Of course, not all Nen abilities have this upgrade function, but Kevin might just happen to have it.

If all else fails, perhaps Kevin will be able to achieve a similar improvement once he becomes strong enough.

Kevin had originally planned to add this Nen ability if he had enough Memory Capacity, but unfortunately, he has now run out of Memory Capacity.

The [Syringe] has used up all its remaining Memory Capacity.

Moreover, the effect of Secondary Refinement can be improved by enhancing one's strength.

However, it's impossible to know at what stage of strength one needs to reach before things change.
