New Potion X: The Fists of Good and Evil

Seeing the effects of the potion in front of him, Kevin naturally decided to make it.

This is almost the most balanced and expected result achieved after fusing these materials.

The effects presented previously were much blurrier.

To determine the potency of a drug, the key is to see if its description is clear.

Although the description of this effect is still somewhat vague and abstract, it is already quite clear for this type of potion effect.

In any case, once the potion is made, you'll know how powerful it is after taking a sip.

If it doesn't meet your requirements, just record it as a preparation method; that can be considered a form of experience.

In fact, this kind of waste is quite common.

Kevin has been making a lot of strange potions lately, many of which have no effect whatsoever.

For example, some medicines are strange and useless, such as those that cause excessive flatulence, skin redness, or harmless allergic reactions.

Consider this a record of my experience.

Kevin composed himself, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then placed his hands on the base of the potion station.

His body instantly entered a state of "absolute" concentration, and his Nen Aura continuously flowed into the Alchemy Table.

The Alchemy Table spun rapidly, and the time required for production kept increasing.

For the first time in a long time, sweat appeared on Kevin's face.

He hadn't experienced this situation while making potions in a long time; it only happened when his initial potential energy was insufficient. The process lasted about forty minutes before Kevin felt the Alchemy Table gradually slow down in absorbing Nen Aura until it stopped.

The Alchemy Table stopped; the material on the liner had completely disappeared, and a Medicine Tube appeared in the hole in the base.

Kevin pulled out the Medicine Tube; the liquid inside had distinct colors, with egg white and jet black blending together in Spiral shape.

"B-Rank, without a doubt, it's B-Rank."

Kevin made the judgment based on the amount of Nen he had consumed.

According to Kevin's evaluation criteria, potions requiring less than 10,000 Nen to make are classified as C-Rank.

He believed that medicines with a dosage of 10,000 to 100,000 units could be classified as B-Rank.

After this period of training, his potential energy level is approximately 23,000 to 24,000.

The creation of this potion consumed about half of his energy, meaning it cost him over 10,000 Nen, just enough to meet the minimum standard for B-Rank.

Therefore, this is undoubtedly a B-Rank drug.

"What exactly will this medicine do?" Kevin couldn't help but ponder.

He had previously used similar materials to make a potion.

However, last time they used the Shedding Horn of Two-headed wolf, which were just empty shells. The Gold Base Petal they used were also from the most common variety, not the superior Gold Vein Petal of today.

The auxiliary materials were also ordinary materials purchased, and they were even stone, which inherently presented a mismatch issue.

Although he did not take the potion he made last time, he witnessed firsthand the effects of the [Sense Potion].

Even in that angry situation, Mito remained calm, demonstrating exceptional control over his emotions.

His Fiery Red Eyes revealed that anger still lingered, yet his emotions were firmly under control, presenting a very peculiar state.

Kevin deduced that the potion in his hand was most likely also closely related to emotions and willpower.

However, to know the exact effects, one must try it themselves.

This time, there's no need to be overly frugal.

After all, both the Two-headed Wolf Horn and the flower petals in its hand were plentiful.

The wolf horn was as big as a palm, and it was solid; when ground into powder, it could be divided into many portions.

The next day.

Kevin arrived at the Training Ground very early in the morning.

At this moment, Pairo and Kurapika had actually arrived earlier than him and were already training on their own in the Training Ground.

"Damn it, Pairo! Stop changing what I see!" Kurapika complained loudly as he ran.

Because as he ran, he would suddenly flash by inexplicably, or abruptly turn around and go in a circle, or even be so frightened that he would suddenly stop. And Pairo would follow behind him with his eyes closed, laughing as he ran crookedly.

He also tried to move with his eyes closed.

"I'm training you here. I already have the ability to create illusions, so it's hard to guarantee that others won't."

"Furthermore, my hallucinations are merely visual; they only create an illusion for your eyes. You cannot rely solely on your eyes to observe."

While training his body, Pairo also trained his Nen ability.

His Nen ability is extremely easy to counter; it can be almost entirely countered with the "En" technique.

Therefore, he needs to resolve the battle before the enemy's illusion is detected during his first modification, so his modifications must be subtle and gradual.

Of course, this was tough on Kurapika, who could only endure the interference while continuing to train, which could be considered a unique form of exercise.

"Uncle Kevin!" Kurapika waved and greeted Kevin when he saw him.

Pairo opened his eyes and waved his hand.

Kevin smiled and waved, signaling them to continue. He then walked to the center of the Training Ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate silently.

This is a deep learning method that he developed for himself.

Performing a period of meditation to clear your mind beforehand can effectively enhance your perception of the potion's effects later.

To some extent, this strengthens one's perception and subconscious judgment.

To put it bluntly, it's about reinforcing your intuition.

This is an insight he gained from long-term experience using medication.

As his meditation deepened, the "entanglement" on his body became uncontrollable, tightly wrapping around him and forming an eggshell-like object that was airtight and completely still.

This meditation lasted for half an hour.

Meanwhile, Pairo and Kurapika were already sitting in the Rest Area, quietly drinking water and observing Kevin's condition.

"It has reached a level that we cannot understand."

Kurapika muttered to himself.

Pairo nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Kevin opened his eyes, a Syringe appearing in his hand. He inserted the medicine into the Syringe and injected it directly into his thigh.

The medicine's effects spread throughout the body instantly.

With the amplification effect of the Syringe, this sensation becomes very obvious.

This perception becomes even stronger after meditation, when one maintains a clear mind and sharp intuition.

He could feel the power of the potion instantly spread throughout his body, permeating every corner of his body.

Subsequently, most of the power converged and surged into the brain.

This indicates that the medication primarily affects the brain.

Under this perception, Kevin closed his eyes again.

Everything was pitch black, yet something seemed unusual.

With the help of the potion, he sensed distant points of light, which were the source of other people's emotions and will.

Without a doubt, it was Pairo and Kurapika, and Kevin did not use "circle" to scan.

He could even discern the good and evil emotions of Pairo and Kurapika through this perception.

This sense of good and evil wasn't directed at others, but rather specifically at Kevin.

Their obvious goodwill made their emotional perception of Kevin stand out even more after he closed his eyes.

Kevin also sensed what was happening further away.

However, the farther away they were, the less their senses became. He could only perceive another benevolent point of light approaching them.

Is this Rosana at this time?

As the light drew closer, the Gate was pushed open, and sure enough, Rosana walked in.

She saw the scene at the Training Ground and, from a distance, saw her son make a quiet gesture.

Rosana nodded knowingly and tiptoed over to sit down next to the two of them.

This perceived distance is not short, and unlike a "circle," it does not use air to scan.

In other words, the enemy cannot detect this "scanning" behavior, allowing them to discover the enemy's location without alerting them.

Especially when the enemy harbors ill will towards you, this perception of will is independent of the enemy's subjective thoughts.

Even if the enemy is merely observing without taking any other action, they will still exude emotions that are either benevolent or malevolent.

That's good enough.

Kevin's intuition grew stronger with training, but intuition is one thing; he couldn't know the enemy's exact location without using a magic circle.

Using a circle is tantamount to telling the enemy that he has spotted them.

This would alert the enemy, bringing the matter into the open and causing them to miss the opportunity to shift from a situation where the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, to one where the enemy is in the light while we are in the dark.

"But the sensing distance is still not far enough."

Kevin was deep in thought.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and readjusted his "circle" so that it expanded outward like a normal "circle".

Under normal circumstances, his "circle" will stop after expanding outwards by 20 meters.

But through this 20-meter extension, his range of will perception instantly expanded countless times, forming a huge sphere of will perception that directly enveloped the distant Manor buildings.

Within this sphere, everyone radiates goodwill towards him, which is merely a reflection of their own perception of good and evil.

Those unidentified emotional signals moved around in Kevin's perception.

Kevin withdrew his senses and opened his eyes.

He felt that the medicine's functions should extend beyond this, and that it must have other uses as well.

Because he didn't feel that the potion had any effect on controlling his emotions; in other words, it didn't have the same ability to control one's emotions as the [Sense Potion].

However, the emotion detection function mentioned earlier does indeed exist.

He had seen Mito use a similar potion, which was why Mito was still able to fight accurately against the enemy while the potion was still in effect after he gouged out his eyes.

I recall the description of the medicine.

[Qi (vital energy) will react and change in response to and in relation to one's own and others' good or evil intentions.]

How should this sentence be understood?

Kevin looked towards the Rest Area and waved.

Kurapika and Pairo both pointed to themselves, asking if they were being called, Kevin nodded.

The two people walked over.

"Uncle, is there something you need?" Pairo asked, puzzled.

Kevin nodded and said, "I'll have you two be my guinea pigs and help me test my new ability."

Although they were somewhat puzzled, they nodded nonetheless.

Kevin extended his energy towards the two of them.

His anger was met with a response.

"Throat?"

Kevin exclaimed in surprise, "So that's the feedback?"

This feedback is quite peculiar, but considering the legend of the Two-headed wolf, it's understandable why such a strange response would occur.

Simply put, after Kevin's energy flowed into the two people's bodies, the feedback he received was that the two people developed a certain sense of good and evil.

In layman's terms, Kevin is able to discern a person's values and beliefs through this method.

The closer the other person's values are to his, the more obvious the feedback will be, and the gentler his temper will be. The opposite is also true.

Is this the Two-headed wolf's ability to discern whether humans are benevolent or not?

The feedback indicates that Pairo's values are similar to Kevin's, while Kurapika's values are even more "correct" than Kevin's.

It's important to understand that their values were reshaped after they experienced the annihilation of their race.

The Pairo is similar to himself means that he was once kinder than him, while Kurapika is now kinder and has a stronger moral compass than him.

As expected of a reclusive young man, untouched by the world's corruption.

Kevin doesn't consider himself a great person, but he believes he has lived up to his parents' teachings and has not let down society and his teachers.

With this ability, one can determine whether two people are going to extremes.

"Not bad," Kevin thought. "Although this ability is a bit strange, it's always good to have more skills, and it's essentially a functional ability that doesn't require extra effort to train or enhance."

Having learned about the positive and negative feedback from others, how should we reflect our own positive and negative feedback?

Kevin clenched his fist, channeled his energy into it, and then looked at the two people in front of him.

That one glance made the two of them instinctively take a half step back.

"Stand still and let me punch you."

The two of them pursed their lips and stared wide-eyed.

Although they knew Kevin wouldn't really hit them hard, they were still inevitably a little nervous.

But Kevin won't give them time to react.

Sudden.

A fist flashed.

Before the two could react, the blow had already landed on their stomachs.

"Uh--hmm?"

After being punched, the two instinctively flinched, then scratched their heads in confusion.

"I don't feel anything?" Kurapika, somewhat puzzled.

He could feel that Kevin had used a certain amount of force in his punch, but he didn't feel any pain from being hit.

"Huh? My strength has returned, it's like I haven't even exercised at all," Pairo said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Kurapika quickly checked himself and discovered that he had undergone the same changes.

At that moment, Kevin clenched his fist, and suddenly realized: So that's how it is.

The punch he had just thrown was not malicious at all; it was purely out of goodwill.

His energy responded to this kindness, and he channeled it into the other person's body, restoring their strength.

After throwing that punch, Kevin understood the effect it would have.

While this punch can't be called a "milk punch," it definitely deserves the title of a "Blue Fist."

Based on one's goodwill, the Qi will respond accordingly. After being injected into the other person's body, it can restore their physical strength and even relieve their mental fatigue.

"What kind of ability is this?" Kurapika asked curiously.

Kevin didn't offer any explanation and threw another punch.

This time, Kurapika took a real punch, but only staggered back a few steps and still didn't feel any pain.

"Notice any changes you notice?"

Kurapika nodded, jumped up and down twice, and even swung his fist.

"Hmm, your punches are more powerful now?" he said uncertainly.

Pairo simply walked up to him and let him punch him.

The two often sparred, so Kurapika threw a punch right away.

"It's heavier than before," Pairo remarked.

Okay, that's settled now.

Kevin thus determined how his ability would be effective.

Essentially, this is Enhancement Type ability. A punch delivered with good intentions allows one's aura to be infused into the opponent's body with enhancement Specialization, thereby strengthening a Specialization of the opponent.

This enhancement is based on Kevin's own judgment; a punch can only provide one type of enhancement.

The level of enhancement will not be excessive, but will be based on Kevin's own standards.

Enhancement Type aura, even without the aid of Nen ability, can strengthen various aspects of the body.

Otherwise, the Enhancement Type wouldn't be known as the type with the strongest offensive capabilities.

This punch, delivered with goodwill, could very well be called a "Enhancement Fist."

"That's quite interesting."

Kevin smiled, looking at his fist, his interest piqued.

Although the enhancement effect is not obvious at present, and it is extremely limited to enhance a new Nen user like Kurapika with his own aura, it is still very interesting.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that as one's strength increases, the enhancement effect will become better and better.

The effect may be more pronounced, especially when the gap in strength between the two sides is greater.

"What if you throw a punch with malice? Wouldn't that, given the characteristics of Enhancement Type, adding malice make your attack even more destructive?"

3

Kevin thought to himself.

Judging from the opposite of "Enhancement Fist", it should be like this.

Perhaps speaking with malice would amplify the penetrating power, destructive power, or impact of that punch?

Kevin walked to the other side where the sandbags were placed.

With malice, he slammed a punch into the sandbag.

Although he cannot completely control his emotions, he can consciously instill goodwill or malice.

"Bang!"

With one punch, a hole was punched through the center of the sandbag, and sand flowed out of the hole.

The sandbag didn't burst completely; this punch enhanced its penetrating power, and the malicious punch amplified its penetrating ability.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Kevin exclaimed in admiration.

The description of this medicine seems abstract, but its actual effects are quite unique.

There is a possibility that it varies from person to person.

Essentially, it uses one's will to be good or evil to control one's energy, thereby achieving various effects.

Most importantly, this ability is a perfect match for him, requiring no extra effort in training or study.

As one's strength increases, the effects achieved will also become more and more outstanding, whether it's enhancing others with "Benevolent Fist" or attacking others with "Malicious Fist."

And...

Kevin stared straight ahead, gathered strength in his arm, and unleashed his Nen Aura, forming a dense array of hexagons in front of his fist, maliciously amplifying the impact of the punch.

"Ha!"

He shouted loudly.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the air was visibly compressed into a circle before expanding outwards, sending the sandbag flying.

It exploded in mid-air.

Sand fell like raindrops.

Behind Kevin, Kurapika and Pairo stood there, mouths agape, staring blankly at the scene.
