On the arena stage.
After swallowing the potion, the bleeding from the hole in Kevin's hand stopped, and it slowly began to heal.
The sight made Chrollo's eyes widen in fury.
"What kind of medicine is that?"
Kevin had no habit of answering an enemy's questions about his abilities.
At the same time, the Aura around him surged forth, clearly surpassing the overall average.
Quite a few sharp-eyed people in the stands noticed this scene.
"Was it because he drank two bottles of medicine?"
"So that's his Nen ability?"
Yungu could not help saying, "It seems he really did take the time to understand and develop his Nen ability."
Biscuit nodded. Her information network was more extensive, and she knew that Kevin had spent over a hundred million of his fortune over the past few months buying all sorts of materials.
So she was not especially surprised.
In a corner of the stands, Illumi watched the scene and flicked the potion in his hand.
As a descendant of the Zoldyck Family, he naturally would not trust Kevin's word so easily and use the potion for treatment.
He could tell that this potion was the product of a Nen ability. He had not expected it to be so practical.
After all, he was comparing it against the various medicines used by the Zoldyck Family itself.
None of them had healing effects like the one Kevin had just displayed.
He had seen it clearly. One of the potions Kevin drank was exactly the same as the one in his hand.
He would find a chance to test it on someone else.
He still had no intention of drinking it himself.
After all, he always avoided getting injured in battle.
On the arena stage, the battle between the two continued.
The first two exchanges had given both sides a rough understanding of the other's abilities.
However, Chrollo was even more troubled, because he still had not truly figured out what Kevin's Nen ability was.
As for the potion Kevin had just drunk, he could not make sense of it.
The effect it produced did not seem like a Nen ability. Perhaps it was simply some advanced medicine?
Chrollo fought more cautiously now, keeping the greatest possible distance from Kevin at all times.
He understood now that he absolutely could not let Kevin rush in front of him, or defeat would be inevitable.
His opponent had already seen through his abilities and definitely would not give him another chance to escape like the first time.
A heavy punch with that kind of power.
One hit was all it would take to leave him unable to fight back.
Kevin charged at Chrollo once more.
Chrollo used the same trick again and hurled out the Meteor Hammer.
He had to use his dagger attacks carefully, and he even intended to keep the dagger close for self-defense.
After all, the Meteor Hammer could only display its greatest power when thrown.
As for the steel needles, those were his final trump card.
He now intended to rely on steel needle attacks to score points and secure victory with ten valid points.
Any thoughts of "pruning" his opponent's "branches and shoots" as he had in the past had long been thrown out of his mind.
The pressure Kevin brought him was simply too great.
He had chosen the wrong opponent.
The Meteor Hammer failed to hit again, and Kevin, prepared in advance, easily dodged the shockwave created by its impact.
Immediately afterward, the Hook traced an arc and flew along the edge of the arena.
"Bang."
A crisp collision rang out.
Chrollo's eyes widened as he roared in disbelief, "What did you do?!"
The Hook he had sent flying to anchor itself was knocked away by an unknown attack. It fell outside the arena without hooking onto anything.
The Hook had to catch an exact spot on the floor to count as a hit.
But now, like a discarded tool, it had fallen outside the arena and lost its original function.
Kevin grinned.
He had no habit of explaining things to enemies.
In truth, it was only an Aura Bullet enhanced with [Zetsu]. After several battles, he had already figured out the Hook's flight path.
In fact, he had tried twice before, but neither shot had landed.
Aside from Enhancement Type Aura, he had not trained the Aura of any other type.
Even with eighty percent effectiveness, it was still not easy for him to use.
And his opponent had no habit of constantly activating [Ren] in battle whenever something strange happened, so he had not seen it at all.
Since the Aura Bullet had not flown directly at him, there would be nothing unusual if it missed, so Chrollo had never noticed it.
But this time, the Aura Bullet struck successfully.
Facing the rapidly approaching Kevin, Chrollo threw out the steel needles again.
As Kevin rushed forward, the Aura around him spread out in a circle, extending only one meter beyond his body.
Since he could not dodge it, he would leave it to his body's instincts.
After months of training his body to withstand attacks while using En, he believed his body could definitely handle it.
His body twisted in midair without any point of leverage.
The steel needles flew past, embedded at his waist and slicing through his clothes.
The attack missed!
"That's impossible!"
Chrollo cried out. The steel needles were his trump card and had never missed.
If they failed to hit once, their cooldown lasted a full ten seconds.
Kevin had simply dodged them!
Chrollo's eyes widened. Gritting his teeth, he clenched his dagger and quickly backed away.
Facing the charging Kevin, he stabbed forward with all his strength.
"Your hand-to-hand combat is really not much," Kevin said. He stepped sideways, dodged the dagger, clamped both hands around Chrollo's arm, and violently threw him.
An exaggerated shoulder throw.
"Bang!"
Chrollo traced an arc through the air before being slammed viciously into the floor.
The powerful impact made him cough up blood instantly.
"I sur—"
Before he could finish, Kevin's fist had already smashed into his face.
That punch drove his head straight into the floor.
"Only surrendering now? Too late."
At that moment, Chrollo's weapons vanished, and the tight suit on his body had been torn to shreds during the battle.
The referee immediately ran over.
"Unconscious, KO!"
Cheers erupted from the stands. Most people could not understand the battle at all, but without question, it had been an exceptionally thrilling match.
After all, several craters had been punched into the arena.
Kevin let out a long breath and slowly walked out of the arena.
Fighting was such a tiring, troublesome affair. It was really too boring.
When he returned to his room and was preparing to rest and review the battle, a knock came from the door.
He opened it and looked outside.
"Master?"
Biscuit entered the room with Yungu.
"It's Princess Biscuit, you know."
"Yes, yes." Kevin was already used to it.
"I only just reached the 200th Floor, and you two already came... Wait, were you watching from the stands the whole time?"
Yungu nodded.
Biscuit walked forward and patted Kevin's shoulder with great satisfaction.
"Very good. Your growth over the past few months has been even better than I imagined."
"Really? Hahahahaha!"
Kevin laughed without trying to hide it.
He was equally satisfied with his growth over the past few months.
Biscuit sat down beside the table, and Kevin poured her a cup of sweetened black tea.
Biscuit took a sip, nodded in satisfaction, set down the cup, and asked, "It seems you've completed the goal I set for you very well."
Kevin nodded and briefly described his actions and gains over the past few months.
"Based on that idea, I constructed a Nen ability for myself. I call it [Blank Meteor].
"The ability is..."
"Stop!" Biscuit interrupted him.
"You don't need to explain it in detail. Every Nen user's Nen ability is extremely important information.
"Especially when there are special conditions and rules in battle. If the enemy learns them, it could bring fatal danger."
After hearing Biscuit's instruction, Kevin nodded.
Though he felt that it would not matter much even if he revealed his Nen ability.
Because his Nen ability could not directly increase his strength in battle. It was meant for his usual training and sparring.
And it was simple and straightforward. Even knowing the details would be meaningless.
After thinking for a moment, Kevin chose to share some important and necessary information.
"Then let me tell you about the Specialization Type Nen ability you've seen before."
As he spoke, Kevin materialized the Alchemy Table.
"Teacher, I need your help now!"
He needed Biscuit's decades of experience and broad knowledge to give him some ideas regarding materials.
After all, the information he could gather online was extremely limited.
The internet was not very developed yet.
