Kevin began intense training alongside the snail.

Ximo set up a temporary campsite centered around his RV.

Men Qi has become a full-time chef. After all, this trip was for training, so the RV was stocked with a large amount of ingredients.

Even without it, they can still hunt around, as long as they leave the black area.

The applications of Pure White Milk in food have been thoroughly researched through the collaboration of Men Qi and Melusina.

What foods should be paired with it, and what methods should be used to season it, so that Pure White Milk can be mixed with food to form a high-energy, easily absorbed, delicious, and rich food that is rich in elements needed by the human body?

Of course, while Kevin was working out, the others weren't idle either.

Jin has already taken Gon and the others to conduct observations in the Black Zone.

A precious moment of parent-child time.

In terms of wilderness exploration and information gathering, Jin's expertise in these areas is undoubtedly top-notch.

This kind of instruction is also very important for Gon.

A question-and-answer session, with various reminders and instructions.

At times like these, the two of them actually look like a father and son.

A normal father and son.

Qi and Tewashi walked behind.

Watching this scene, Tewashi asked with a smile, "Did it remind you of your father? Your family or anything like that?"

Tewashi also knew that Kiy was from the Zoldyck Family, a family of assassins.

"Qi" is somewhat similar to "running away from home".

Upon hearing this, Kiy curled his lip in disdain.

"No, I finally got out. Besides, my dad is very good to me, and we have a very close relationship."

The sarcasm in those words made Jin, who was walking in front, turn around and grin at Qi.

Tewashi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, he was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the father-son relationship to be so good within an assassin family.

He thought it would be very cold-blooded.

After all, he could tell that Qi didn't harbor any resentment when talking about his father; in fact, he even seemed a little smug.

"The family atmosphere is quite nice."

Tewashi remarked with some emotion.

But as soon as he said that, Qi couldn't help but turn his head away, an embarrassed expression on his face, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Well, cough, our family is different from ordinary people."

That's how he answered.

Tewashi didn't seem to mind, saying, "After all, they're from a family of assassins; it's normal for them to be different from ordinary people."

"Hehe, yeah."

Qi quickly changed the subject.

Their family atmosphere is just too unusual.

"But this place is so desolate. We've been here for so many days, and apart from snails that are as still as Rock, we haven't seen anything alive."

Gon was walking in front, suddenly spoke.

As Kevin trained, they scouted and patrolled the area for several days.

As long as you don't get too close to where the snails are, this area is absolutely safe.

Of course, it's also incredibly desolate.

And so, after circling around again, they returned to the camp.

There he was, Kevin, slumped back in a chair, resting.

Its entire body was bright red, and the steam above its head rose upwards in an exaggerated manner visible to the naked eye.

It looks like a boiled, red-hot shrimp.

He was wearing only shorts, which fully revealed his meticulously arranged muscles.

At this point, the body has been fully exercised, and all the accumulated nutrients have been used up, so every muscle in the body is tightly pressed against the skin and displayed.

"That's incredible. Just looking at that body, you can feel your explosive power and wildness."

The group that returned gathered around Kevin, observing him intently with admiration in their eyes.

Men Qi, who was cooking, rolled her eyes.

She simply couldn't appreciate it; it was too exaggerated, to the point of being inhuman.

Kiy even touched it and patted it a couple of times.

"Wow! So hard, so cool, muscles like steel."

However, Qi withdrew his hand after patting it twice because it was too hot. Kevin's skin temperature was quite high, and he was frantically trying to dissipate heat.

Kevin was slumped in his chair, not wanting to say a word.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired I don't even want to move a finger.

He didn't actually train in the Gravity Zone for very long.

However, the characteristic of the Gravity Zone is that the longer you stay in this area, the more extreme the physical strain becomes.

If it's just a temporary trip inside, someone with a strong physique like Qi Gon could undoubtedly stay inside for a while.

However, if this continues for an extended period, various damages will immediately occur.

Not to mention Kevin was training inside.

Kevin's physique was originally such that even with high-intensity weight training, he couldn't gain much weight even if he did it continuously all day.

They can't even convert the energy they eat in a day into bodily functions.

And thus, this Gravity Zone was created.

Exercising in the Gravity Zone for two or three hours was too much for Kevin's physique.

The benefits of this exercise are undeniable, and they are comprehensive, far superior to regular exercise.

It can exercise every corner and every crevice of the body.

Therefore, Kevin could clearly feel the improvement in his physical condition.

Just then...

Kevin suddenly sensed something and abruptly stood up.

Look in a direction in the distance.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin's sudden movement immediately put everyone in the camp on alert.

He naturally assumed a fighting stance, wary of his surroundings.

Kevin frowned, said nothing, closed his eyes, and extended his right hand.

It took a while before he opened his eyes again.

"It's alright, they're very, very far away. It must be a conflict between very powerful creatures."

As he spoke, he slumped back into his chair.

Hearing this, the group, startled, frowned and looked in the direction Kevin had been looking.

They didn't sense anything.

Jin closed his eyes carefully, trying to sense if there was any fluctuation.

However, that didn't happen.

"Can a pure increase in mental capacity also enhance the ability to perceive?"

Jin couldn't help but ask.

In the Dark Continent, everything else can wait, but the perception of danger must always be the top priority.

Upon hearing this, Kevin pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I have already pushed my limits once, and that was when I was already at my limit."

"While we haven't reached a new limit yet, both our physical strength and Nen power are already at a considerable level."

Simply put, within the Knight Rank, they belong to the upper-middle level.

Of course, in such situations, strong mental capacity and physical strength do not necessarily mean true strength.

"This breakthrough is undoubtedly a comprehensive breakthrough, so even the senses will be different."

Kevin thought for a moment and pointed to his eyes.

"Now, I can truly distinguish the differences in each person's Nen Aura with the naked eye, simply by looking at the differences in Nen Aura."

Experienced Nen user can determine the type of Nen Aura used by others through combat, training, and observation.

But it definitely needs to be shown.

Even with her Biscuit couldn't make a judgment based on a person's simple outward Nen Aura.

But after breaking through his limits, Kevin was able to see the difference directly with his eyes.

He didn't have this ability before his breakthrough.

"One of the main reasons I can sense the conflict between powerful creatures in the far distance is that I witnessed the battle between the Ant King and Netero."

Netero is undoubtedly a monster.

He is a monster whose innate limits far exceed those of ordinary people.

In other words, someone with exceptional talent.

Unfortunately, Netero is a martial arts fanatic, and the Ant King is even more so.

"This kind of high-intensity collision carries an indescribable power; once you've experienced it, you won't forget it."

Kevin had just felt that powerful, primal conflict.

It came from afar.

A very far place.

He couldn't determine how powerful the two creatures were, but they were definitely not weak.

It was definitely not a clash between Knight Rank creatures.

"Changes brought about by a fundamental shift in the nature of life?"

Jin muttered to himself.

It seems he now needs to spend more time on his own training.

The amount of gold in one's mind is actually not much.

His physical condition reached its limit, thanks to the medication provided by Kevin.

His capacity for increasing his mental capacity is only 200,000.

In battles among humans, strength is not simply a contest of Nen power.

Two hundred thousand units of mental energy is already extremely high in human society; it would be impossible to consume under normal circumstances.

But to break through the limits, you must train even more deeply.

Kim is not someone who aims for power.

Power is merely a means to achieve a goal.

He's somewhat similar to Kevin.

Therefore, Jin spends most of his time on things that interest him and on various kinds of learning.

It seems that without breaking through the limits at this stage, it will be impossible to continue exploring the Dark Continent more freely.

He needs to shift more of his focus to training to push his limits.

You should know that his body has already broken through its limits and reached even higher limits.

At that moment, Men Qi walked over, looked at Kevin, and asked.

"Has your physical condition improved after these few days of training?"

Kevin nodded. "It will definitely have an effect, and the effect is visible to the naked eye. However, it will take quite a while to reach the current physical limit."

Even when training in Gravity Zone, it's not something you can reach your limit in a short time.

For others, increasing their mental capacity is difficult.

For Kevin, pushing his body to its limits is actually the difficult part.

Because of his physical training, Kevin couldn't take any shortcuts. His training methods were exactly the same as those of a normal person, except that he used medication.

However, these medicines can also be used by other people.

Kevin estimates it will take at least a year.

There are no shortcuts in this regard; the only way to speed things up is through food and medicine.

The others understood this to some extent as well; this black land would become an area they would frequently visit, and perhaps even a node in their journey.

Because everyone needs it.

This is why they are so concerned about reconnaissance and patrols of the entire area.

"However, we can't train here forever. Let's improve our physique to a level where our Nen can break through a million, and then we'll stop here for now."

Kevin had already thought it through before coming here, and now that he has experienced the improvement, he has clarified this goal.

This is not difficult.

His physical constitution was already sufficient to support his Nen capacity reaching Ninety-Nine.

Although this is a step forward in life.

However, it hasn't reached the point of breaking through the limits.

Two weeks later.

Kevin is still training.

Jin and his team had already conducted a reconnaissance of the general area of the entire Pitch Black Land.

It was almost certain that only the Gravity Snail existed in the entire Pitch Black Land.

As you go deeper into the area, the gravity of the entire environment increases.

Snails, on the other hand, do not appear in the deeper parts of the Pitch Black Land.

Through Men Qi's Nen Beast reconnaissance.

It can be basically determined that the thing at the core is not a living thing, but a dead thing.

However, the Nen Beast could not withstand the pressure from deeper within and stopped its inward exploration.

--

At this moment, in the camp.

Kim watched Kevin, who was exercising.

Kevin is now able to train continuously for five hours in the Gravity Zone.

This also means that Kevin is eating more nutritious food.

As a result, Kevin's body can now fully withstand two injections of Digestion Potion without any side effects.

However, this also suggests that the Digestion Potion is quickly becoming too slow for Kevin's improvement.

The last type of B-Rank medicine, which has been used for a long time, is also nearing the end of its lifespan.

From now on, the medications Kevin uses daily must also reach A-Rank.

After sensing that it was almost over, Kevin stood up from the Gravity Zone and walked out.

It gives the impression that there is no difference in gravity between the inside and outside.

However, after emerging from the Gravity Zone, Kevin stood still for a while before starting to walk again.

Standing still allows his body to quickly adapt to the normal gravity in the non- Gravity Zone.

Fortunately, there aren't any normal people here.

If an ordinary person were to frequently travel back and forth in areas of abnormal gravity like this, their body would have already developed irreversible and serious problems.

Looking at Kevin walking over, Jin asked, "After more than two weeks of training, haven't you reached the physical requirements for the ten thousandth of the one million mark yet?"

Kevin sighed and nodded.

"While this isn't a threshold, it's clearly an important stage. Perhaps once I truly reach a million recitations, I'll enter a completely new phase of life."

As he spoke, Kevin reached out and squeezed it, feeling the changes in his body.

As our physical fitness levels get closer, this feeling becomes more and more obvious.

"It's making me a little excited."

"It'll be soon, because—it's enough."

Kevin said this with a smile on his face.

In the few moments after he came out, he examined his body and was able to feel it more clearly.

His physical condition is good enough.

His physique is strong enough to allow his mental capacity to multiply by a million.

Upon hearing this, Jin couldn't help but stand up, his expression somewhat agitated.

A million thoughts.

What stage did that represent for humanity?

This news immediately drew a large crowd to the camp.
