Transformation X The Fiery Red Eye's Peculiarity
"Fiery Red Eye?"
Upon hearing this word, the expressions of the people in front of them became somewhat uncertain.
This word is like a keyword to them now; once it's uttered, it triggers hidden memories.
Kevin looked at them, silently shut his mouth, and waited for them to process what he was about to say, as it was of utmost importance.
This is something that must be said and clarified.
Although their mindset has adjusted considerably, the extermination of their clan has only occurred a few months ago.
When Kevin brought it up again, they couldn't help but get emotional.
Among them, Kurapika was the most emotional.
His eyes unknowingly turned Fiery Red Eye, and at the same time, the aura around his body began to change.
Upon seeing this, Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly and began to observe carefully.
Pairo and Rosana immediately noticed that Kurapika was losing control of his emotions and quickly went to comfort him.
Fortunately, it was only a brief mention of "Fiery Red Eye," so Kurapika's emotional turmoil quickly subsided.
It has returned to normal.
After adjusting their mindset, the three turned their attention to Kevin, waiting for him to continue.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I... I still can't control my emotions," Kurapika said, somewhat tearfully.
Controlling his emotions has always been extremely important to him, both in the past and present, but he is currently finding it difficult to do so.
He thought of his mother and friends, who had witnessed the horrific disaster and were no less grief-stricken than he was, yet they were able to control their emotions well, which filled him with guilt.
Kevin smiled and reached out to gently pat Kurapika on the shoulder, "No need to apologize, you still have plenty of time to train."
"I believe that it won't be long before you're able to control your emotions well. Remember, the ability to control emotions is an essential Specialization for a Nen user."
Kevin first comforted and encouraged Kurapika, then looked at the three of them, his expression turning serious.
"Next, I have to tell you how I met Mito."
Upon hearing this, Pairo pricked up his ears curiously.
Although Kevin had mentioned knowing his father before, he did not elaborate.
"When fighting in the Arena, Mito could control his emotions at any time and enter a state of Fiery Red Eye."
"I think you all know very well that when you are emotionally agitated and your eyes turn Fiery Red Eye, your physical fitness will be significantly enhanced."
At this time, your strength will increase dramatically, enabling you to do many things that are normally impossible.
Upon hearing Kevin's words, the three nodded slightly.
This was no secret to the Kurta Clan.
Every pure-blooded Kurta Clan who can open their eyes has, to some extent, experienced entering a state of Fiery Red Eye due to emotional excitement.
In that state, although their emotions were somewhat difficult to control, they could still clearly feel the changes within themselves.
"I noticed this change when I first met your father. On the surface, it seems to be just a simple enhancement of physical fitness, but the details are not so simple."
"When Mito entered his Fiery Red Eye state, his aura clearly erupted."
"You know, at that time I hadn't helped him awaken his spirituality, nor had I taught him the relevant knowledge and abilities."
Upon hearing Kevin's explanation, Pairo and Kurapika immediately realized a possibility.
In other words, their Fiery Red Eye are likely related to Nen ability in some way.
Or perhaps their perceived increase in physical strength is also due to the influence of Qi?
Perhaps Fiery Red Eye can give one more energy?
At least from Kevin's description, that seems to be the case.
Kevin continued solemnly, "At the end of last year, when I went to find Mito, I unexpectedly witnessed the annihilation of your clan."
These words caused the three of them to fall into deep thought.
In an instant, their eyes turned red.
Those memories are simply unbearable to touch; once those vivid images are brought to mind, they immediately flood back.
Screams, terror, pain, bloodshed.
And those people's cold and heartless faces.
Fortunately, they were somewhat prepared from the start of Kevin's story, so although they were a little emotional at first, they quickly calmed down and continued to listen to Kevin's narration.
After their clan was wiped out, they knew that the state of their Fiery Red Eye had to be carefully controlled, so they had been training in this area.
"The horrific scene kept Mito in a state of Fiery Red Eye. Despite the critical situation, I could clearly sense that a profound change had occurred in Mito after he entered the Fiery Red Eye state."
"That was by no means a simple burst of power, but a more profound transformation of Qi," Kevin said to the three of them with a serious expression.
The changes at that time were too obvious.
Nen ability are ultimately a product of mental will and physical constitution; extreme emotions may make Nen ability more explosive.
However, without any Bargain and Vow, Mito's Nen ability change too drastically.
Kevin at that time understood Nen ability more, so he was able to see more through his eyes.
At this moment, all three of them fell into deep thought.
A deeper level of change? What kind of change is that?
"Uncle, what kind of changes will these Fiery Red Eye bring?" Pairo covered his eyes with his hands and asked thoughtfully.
Kevin shook his head.
"I'm not sure either. Because I also have the technique to unleash my own ki, I can only be sure that your Fiery Red Eye state is far more complex than it appears on the surface."
"To understand what changes it can bring, we must conduct some experiments. And now, you have more or less the means to do so."
This is why we didn't say it before; it was pointless, and there was no reason to test it.
As he spoke, Kevin looked at the three of them and pointed at Pairo.
"Originally, I planned to tell you all this after you had developed your Nen ability."
"But now that Pairo has Nen ability, I can tell you so you can try it out and see what changes occur."
Kevin then began to recount his thoughts and discoveries regarding the Fiery Red Eye state.
How can deeper changes in Qi be manifested? The most direct way is through the construction of Nen ability.
"What is certain is that the Fiery Red Eye state is completely different from the normal state; the Fiery Red Eye state is an enhancement of the normal state."
"However, I cannot yet determine the specifics of this enhancement—whether it's a comprehensive enhancement or an enhancement targeting a Specialization trait?"
Are the enhancement effects different for everyone? Or are the enhancements the same for everyone in the Fiery Red Eye state?
"These are all issues that require deep consideration. If Biscuit were here, with her experience, she might be able to see the root cause and specific changes in your situation at a glance."
After explaining his thoughts, Kevin gently patted Kurapika on the shoulder.
"Now we can conduct two experiments. Pairo has awakened his Nen ability; he can activate his Fiery Red Eye when using Nen ability and see what the effects are."
"Similarly, Kurapika, you can activate Fiery Red Eye even before you've developed Nen ability."
After saying that, Kevin added, "When you entered Fiery Red Eye mode just now, I observed you carefully again."
This situation is likely to have a deeper and more comprehensive impact.
As strength changes and more experiences are gained, more can be seen.
Kurapika nodded after hearing this.
"Uncle, what exactly should I do?"
"It's very simple, just do the Water Divination test again. Depending on changes in your physical condition, the results of the Water Divination test may also change."
Kevin emphasized this point.
The source of this idea is obvious: it stems from Kevin's own experience.
Kevin's special circumstances give him two different Water Divination transformations, and also give him two different types.
Water Divination is arguably the best method for identification through external objects, as its characteristics are quite obvious and allow for certain observations.
Therefore, he planned to use the same method to verify the changes in the Kurta Clan when they activated their Fiery Red Eye state.
A new water glass was placed on the table.
"Come on, Kurapika, release the emotions you've been suppressing, and then we'll take the test again," Kevin said.
Kurapika took a deep breath, and then his eyes instantly turned Fiery Red Eye.
After all, he had been suppressing his inner emotions.
As the steam rushed into the water glass, the glass indeed underwent an unusual change.
First, the water in the cup began to churn and overflow, and the leaves floating on the surface swayed from side to side as if rowing a boat, and even slowly circled.
The liquid in the water became somewhat cloudy, and crystalline objects appeared in it.
"It's different now. Has it become Specialization Type?" Pairo exclaimed in surprise.
He hadn't expected the changes after activating his Fiery Red Eye to be so significant.
Kevin frowned as he watched this change, then reached out, dipped his hand in water, and tasted it.
"It's a little sweet."
Kurapika stopped using his ability.
Several people dipped their fingers in the water and tasted it, discovering that the water's flavor had indeed changed.
By this time, Kevin had basically understood the reason behind it.
He said, "Without a doubt, Kurapika entered the Specialization Type after activating Fiery Red Eye."
Moreover, this change in the Specialization Type could very well be a special state that allows Qi to exert 100% of its full efficiency.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Kevin pointed directly at the water glass that Kurapika had transformed into.
"Look at this water glass, do you notice anything?"
Pairo stared at the water glass, his eyes lighting up as he immediately realized what was happening.
"Yes, this Specialization change is different from my Specialization change."
Leaves move, water volume increases, water color changes, impurities appear, and taste changes.
Doesn't this perfectly encompass the different variations that arise from every detail in other departments?
After hearing what Pairo said, the others suddenly understood.
Although this change is different from those in other departments, it incorporates various characteristics of change found in other departments.
"What kind of changes will this bring?" Rosana couldn't help but ask.
Kevin shook his head. "Although the specific effects cannot be determined at the moment, it is at least certain that this will allow your Qi to exert various effects."
"Now that you understand this, when you build your Nen ability, you should take into account the enhancement effects that may occur in the Fiery Red Eye state."
"The so-called Nen ability construction is based on one's own element, one's own past experiences and thoughts."
Then, according to their own will, they can create abilities that resemble superpowers.
"Some people's Nen ability are an extension of a single attribute, while others with good skills may be able to create Nen ability that combines two adjacent elements with their primary element."
"But your primary department is always the most important pillar, so such a change will definitely affect the Nen ability you build as well."
"As for the specifics of the enhancements, we'll have to wait and see the results of Pairo's next experiments."
After saying this, Kevin seemed to have thought of something else, his brows furrowed, and he said seriously, "Regardless of the specifics of this change, one thing is certain: this state is extremely powerful."
"Great power often comes with risks; there are gains and losses. Therefore, you must have complete control over your emotions at this stage."
"The Fiery Red Eye' state will inevitably bring some unknown changes and costs; you must thoroughly investigate this."
After all, being able to unleash the full potential of all six elements must be subject to powerful Restriction, which cannot be concealed by mere racial characteristics.
This might also indirectly explain why there Nen user among the Kurta Clan; perhaps their elders know the answer.
Discarding such information would likely come at a high cost.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is purely a racial talent.
After listening, the three nodded to indicate that they understood.
Next, it was Rosana's turn to be tested. The purpose of this test was to see if the changes produced by everyone's Fiery Red Eye state were the same.
Sure enough, the test results showed that Rosana's changes were similar to Kurapika's, except that the cloudy color was slightly different, and even the taste of the water in the glass had become similar.
They truly are mother and son.
However, to verify the results more comprehensively, Pairo was subjected to another test.
In addition to the changes that have occurred before, Pairo is now experiencing a situation similar to Kurapika's.
However, the water tasted slightly bitter, like strong tea at first sip.
In other words, the changes and special states brought about by the Fiery Red Eye state are basically the same for everyone.
Unsurprisingly, the entire system is 100% accurate; you can also tell by observing their aura with your own eyes.
After all, Kevin himself is from outside the main department, making up 80% of the entire department.
Kevin looked at the three of them, lost in thought.
He now understood somewhat why the Kurta Clan had met such a fate.
If every pureblood who can awaken the Fiery Red Eye undergoes this Specialization change,
The strength that each Kurta Clan could achieve was simply unimaginable.
The legend of the "Demon with Fiery Red Eyes" may not be entirely unfounded.
With a little thought, one can guess what kind of experiences this ethnic group has gone through.
Kevin didn't believe they were the first to discover this change in the Kurta Clan after they learned Nen ability.
The "Demon with Fiery Red Eyes" is a legend that has spread throughout the entire known world.
This means that the Kurta Clan must have done something famous in the past and existed for a long time.
In the past, some major powers and top human forces must have known about and mastered Nen ability.
There is no doubt about that.
What would they have done if they had discovered the special abilities of the Kurta Clan at that time?
It's very simple; they will try to train the Kurta Clan into the strongest blade and the strongest army.
No ambitious person will give up.
To maintain their Fiery Red Eye state, the tribesmen had to keep their emotions in an extreme state, and the brutal killings on the battlefield would gradually drive them mad.
Their Fiery Red Eye would also make them stronger than ordinary people.
Perhaps it was during these centuries of warfare that the "Demon with Fiery Red Eyes" became infamous on the battlefield.
This is why such legends have been passed down to this day.
As times have progressed into the modern era, perhaps for some reason, the number of people in the Kurta Clan has been decreasing.
They ultimately chose to flee.
He abandoned his Nen ability, relinquished his identity in the outside world, and went into hiding.
Of course, it's also possible that they reached some kind of agreement with a power like V5.
Otherwise, the Kurta Clan's reclusive lifestyle leaves too many clues. Finding them wouldn't be difficult; it's just that those who have the ability to find them don't want to, while those who want to find them lack the necessary skills.
Only after reaching this tacit understanding could they continue to live in seclusion until the appearance of the Phantom Troupe shattered this tranquility.
Regardless of what happened in the past, only these three people remain of the Kurta Clan.
Just as the previous prophecy had predicted, the three of them indeed possessed talents that were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Their Fiery Red Eye state makes them Nen users.
It's just that we don't know what serious side effects this state will bring; they'll have to find out for themselves.
After clarifying these points...
All eyes were on Pairo.
Next, he will conduct a final experiment to verify how the Fiery Red Eye state alters Nen ability themselves.
The test subject this time is still Kurapika.
The two stood together again, ready to look at each other.
Prior to this, Pairo had already severed the connection he had left in Kurapika's eyes.
After a brief moment of gathering his emotions, Pairo's eyes instantly turned red.
However, the red in his eyes appeared darker than the others.
It wasn't a bright, fiery red, but rather a deep red, similar to blood.
Pairo activated his Nen ability.
The instant he activated his Nen ability, whether it was a trick of the mind or not, Pairo seemed to sense the price he would have to pay for activating his Fiery Red Eye.
Is it lifespan?
I see. That is indeed a considerable price to pay.
However, Pairo didn't dwell on it too much and continued to focus on experimenting with his Nen ability in his Fiery Red Eye state.
The first step is the most basic eye contact.
The process became extremely rapid, with the marking completed instantly.
Almost the instant their eyes met, the connection was established.
Pairo immediately closed his eyes, withdrew his power, calmed his emotions, and exited the Fiery Red Eye state.
However, it cannot be exited; the instantly marked "Fiery Red Eye" state must be maintained.
Kurapika hadn't expected the speed to be so fast this time.
Upon seeing this, Kevin immediately understood. The Fiery Red Eye state indeed amplified and enhanced Nen ability. The two had only been staring at each other for less than a second, let alone three seconds; the connection was established simply by their eyes touching.
Don't underestimate this kind of enhancement.
This drastically increased the Danger Level of Pairo's Nen ability.
This means that even Kevin would have difficulty defending against it when it's in its Fiery Red Eye state.
Because the whole process was completed in an instant, unless Kevin knew about Pairo's Nen ability from the beginning and avoided making eye contact with him.
Otherwise, in the midst of battle, being marked with a single glance is absolutely unavoidable.
