Fusion X Second Nen Ability

Enhancement Type was widely recognized as the attribute best suited for combat. Its Nen Aura effect was [Enhancement].

The force behind a punch, running speed, neural reactions, and even more elusive things like memory, perception, discernment, inspiration, and observation—all these bodily functions fell within the scope of enhancement.

This enhancement could be applied not only to oneself, but also to other objects. However, enhancing objects was far more profound and mysterious, and tested a Nen user's own understanding even more.

At the time, this had greatly shocked Kevin, who was studying Nen ability theory under Biscuit.

However, once he learned that the Aura emitted by the Emission Type could achieve effects such as teleportation and the creation of spaces, he came to terms with it.

What was more, Biscuit later listed several wondrous effects that the Specialization Type could display.

Such as foreseeing the future, stopping time, and even abilities beyond imagination like granting wishes.

Only then did Kevin truly realize that Nen abilities were completely different from the qigong he remembered.

This world was truly fraught with danger.

It was precisely because he understood these things that ambition arose in Kevin's heart. He wanted to create a Nen ability perfectly suited to himself, one that would allow him to grow to the limit.

Since the Enhancement Type could even enhance such vague and abstract abilities, enhancing his own learning ability should not be difficult.

But Kevin did not intend to enhance his learning ability across the board. He only wanted to focus on strengthening this body's "muscle memory."

What was muscle memory? Essentially, it was neural memory formed through the coordinated workings of the brain and nerves.

The brain was remarkable. In places invisible to the naked eye, it possessed powerful adaptive and learning abilities.

It optimized the pathways of neural transmission, discarding erroneous and circuitous parts.

Through repeated practice, conditioned reflexes were formed.

Before consciousness could even react, the body would naturally make the appropriate movement, as though the muscles truly possessed memories.

Because it eliminated the process of thinking through a response, muscle memory allowed for extremely fast reactions.

This was the ability Kevin wanted to enhance—to a degree even he himself could hardly comprehend.

He wanted conditioned reflexes to form rapidly, without the need for repeated training.

He would use this method to remember even more profound and mysterious things, until it could take effect on different forms of Nen.

Once his muscles remembered them, Kevin could then study and fine-tune them in detail, achieving the effects he desired.

To construct such a Nen ability, he needed a deep understanding of the behavior and process involved. After all, Nen abilities did not arise from nothing.

Take the Transmutation Type, for example. It could change the nature of Aura.

For instance, Aura could be transformed into forms such as fire, electricity, water, or mud, or be given traits such as sharpness, sturdiness, and flexibility. At their core, they were still Aura; only the properties they displayed had changed.

This required the Nen user to possess a deep understanding of the things they wished to transform. Only then could they succeed.

The same was true for the Materialization Type.

If one wished to materialize an item they desired, they had to know that item well enough. Touching it, feeling it, and taking it apart were all the most basic steps.

Kevin himself had long since become accustomed to this process.

His soul had crossed over and attached itself to this body. At first, he had no memories at all and was quite unfamiliar with controlling it.

After recovering fragments of his memories through various forms of stimulation, he used many methods to experience this body's muscle memory.

Throughout this process of learning, he had already firmly memorized the procedure, laying a solid foundation for his Nen ability.

Moreover, this Nen ability was highly compatible with the traits of the Enhancement Type—simple, direct, and without any flashy embellishments. This meant Kevin could achieve the effect he wanted without relying on a Bargain and Vow.

As his strength continued to increase, the "muscle memory" brought by his Nen ability would likewise become stronger.

Should he encounter unexpected circumstances in the future, he could even use a Bargain and Vow to further strengthen his Nen ability.

This gave him far greater room to work with and kept him from being overly constrained.

Biscuit had taught him this as well.

There was no need to construct a perfect Nen ability all at once.

At the beginning, a Nen ability only needed a rough outline and a clear direction for development.

As long as one did not stray from the right path while growing, with age, deeper understanding of Nen abilities, and accumulated training results, the Nen ability would naturally become increasingly powerful and refined.

That was why some self-taught amateurs rashly constructed their own Nen abilities without fully understanding them or receiving sufficient training, resulting in limited potential.

Nen abilities were like Chip slots, while the human brain was the slot grid. Everyone had a limited number of slots.

So one had to carefully choose which Chips to insert. Once inserted, they were locked in place.

Kevin's own Nen ability could also perfectly integrate his personal strengths.

[Moment's Dream], his effortless control over Nen Aura, and 80% efficiency in non-primary types.

All of these advantages would be fully brought into play by this Nen ability.

The successful development and appearance of the [Sense Potion] meant that the potions Kevin made using the Nen ability [Moment's Dream] possessed the effect of granting Nen Traits.

For the fifteen minutes after he drank the potion, his body's muscle memory would rapidly activate within that Moment's Dream.

It would retain within his body the special memories created during that dream. Of course, he might not be able to completely remember everything within those fifteen minutes, but this was a potion, after all.

Kevin could use the Alchemy Table and materials to make multiple doses.

As long as the possibility of being remembered was granted, the success rate could be raised by increasing the amount of potion used.

The most crucial part was achieving the breakthrough from 0 to 1, and he could rely on his Nen ability for that step.

Even if certain materials were extremely rare and difficult to obtain, Kevin could still find materials with similar effects and refine potions with comparable results.

By drinking them repeatedly and experiencing them, his body could remember more and more, and the memories would become increasingly complete.

Finally, he could make subtle adjustments with his talent for effortlessly controlling Nen Aura and achieve the effects he wanted.

If these remembered Traits were to display their proper effects, Kevin could rely on his final talent.

80% efficiency in every type aside from his primary type.

The various transformations of Nen Aura were, in essence, all moving toward these types.

For example, the effect displayed by the [Power Potion] was undoubtedly an application of Enhancement Type Aura.

The [Sense Potion], meanwhile, leaned more toward the Transmutation Type.

This formed a perfect cycle.

[Potion] consumed—Nen ability [Memory]—control and alter [Traits]—80% efficiency [release].

Kevin had long since chosen a name for this Nen ability.

[Blank Meteor].

The effects achieved by combining [Moment's Dream] and [Blank Meteor] would surely not disappoint him.

And honestly speaking—

Was [Blank Meteor] truly powerful?

It only seemed powerful because Kevin's talents and [Moment's Dream] complemented one another.

With his thoughts sorted out and every condition prepared, it was time to begin constructing it.

And so, over the following days, Kevin continued training himself, striving to shape his Nen ability into the form he envisioned.

After several days, just as Kevin had expected, the process encountered few obstacles, and he achieved his goal smoothly.

Now, it was time to test just what effects this fledgling Nen ability of his could achieve.

He had already selected the potion for the experiment.
