Unforeseen Circumstances

When Kevin held the new edition of "The Master of Stealth".

Everyone gathered around.

Kevin briefly explained the effects of the new edition book to everyone.

Among the crowd, Biscuit and King, who were standing on the outer edge, exchanged glances after hearing what was happening.

"I knew he would do this," Jin said helplessly.

Biscuit nodded. "He still hasn't fully grasped the essence of Nen ability, and he won't get the result he wants."

The two spoke softly; compared to the crowd in front of them who were exclaiming and asking questions, their voices were very quiet.

Under their deliberate conversation, only the two of them could hear each other.

Among this group, they have the deepest and most comprehensive understanding of Nen ability.

These are the two.

In some respects, King's in-depth understanding and exploration of the entire Nen ability system even surpasses that of Biscuit.

"Let's wait and see; maybe he'll succeed."

Biscuit seemed to have thought of something and muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, Jin shook his head, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

The most fundamental things will not change.

Kevin was already conducting experiments at this point.

The first subject of the experiment was Gon, because it would be more obvious if Gon were used for the experiment, since he is essentially Enhancement Type as well.

Using [Blank Meteor] should yield better results.

They dripped blood onto the pages of books, left their names, and imprinted icons on their shoulders.

They've been added to the [Dark Probe] group.

Kevin took out the potion he had used before to increase his Nen level.

"Come on, cover your hands with your hands."

Gon nodded and placed his hand directly on the book cover.

Kevin then granted access to one of the pages.

[The Blank Meteor] entered Gon's body.

"Can you feel it now?"

Gon thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Can't you feel it? That's normal."

After all, the Blank Meteor is a concept that the body remembers, which is not normally felt.

A flying Syringe swallowed the medicine and then pierced Gon's body.

The medicine was administered into his body.

Instantly, a large amount of Nen Aura surged from Gon's body.

Just then Biscuit walked over.

"If you want to accelerate your memory, you still need to fight. So, let me see what you've accomplished in the last half hour."

Upon hearing Biscuit's words, Gon Jie's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded.

"No problem! I'll go then!"

He then charged forward.

Faced with Gon, Biscuit could no longer maintain her little girl form.

His body size immediately expanded and changed, making him the most exaggeratedly large person in the crowd.

"Ah!"

The Three-Tails on Kevin's shoulder let out a startled cry.

She never expected that Biscuit, the smallest of the group, would suddenly grow larger, and that she would become significantly stronger after growing larger.

How did you do that?

Is this what humanity is like?

Melusina, standing nearby, picked up the Three-Tails and ruffled its head and ears, commenting, "This isn't human, it's Nen ability. You need to be careful."

"Nen ability? That's strange."

The Three-Tails was still surprised.

The two fighting on the open ground were using only simple Nen ability techniques and close combat methods.

There was no battle involving Nen ability.

After all, it was just high-intensity combat training to solidify the effects of the drug.

Thirty minutes passed.

The two stopped simultaneously. Gon looked at the dissipating Nen Aura around his body and took a breath.

Kevin immediately came up.

"How is it? Is it working?"

Gon nodded with a hint of delight.

"It's improved a lot; I feel like it would take at least a week of training to achieve this level of improvement."

Upon hearing this, Kevin rubbed his chin and nodded slightly.

Are you dissatisfied with these changes?

Biscuit came over and asked.

"I wouldn't say I'm dissatisfied, after all, my Nen ability seems a bit too powerful when used on others."

"During the creation process, I already knew there would be significant reductions; it's impossible to completely replicate the strength of my current Nen ability."

During the creation process, Kevin had already sensed the strength of the copied Nen ability, especially [Blank Meteor] and [Moment's Dream].

The strength of these two Nen ability remains at the level of 400,000 Nen, without breaking through the limit.

For example, suppose we copy [Moment's Dream] and let someone else temporarily possess it.

They still used a Medicine Tripod, but it could only hold three kinds of ingredients, and the liquid produced was just enough to fill one potion.

The abilities haven't changed; only the appearance has changed compared to before.

The strength of [Blank Meteor]'s memory and the number of times it needs to be memorized essentially increase as Kevin becomes stronger.

At this stage, Kevin's ability to memorize those A-Rank drugs combines powerful effects with a strong memory concept.

Kevin doesn't need more than five to memorize them completely.

Some are very effective, and even three tubes are enough.

"But according to my calculations, one use should be able to achieve the training effect of half a month or even a month."

This intensity is the effect of [Blank Meteor] before it breaks through the limit of 400,000.

Back then, Kevin used one dose of a potion that was equivalent to a month of arduous training for others.

Although Kevin couldn't Angel at that time, using it every two days was no problem.

And normal people simply cannot endure such rigorous self-cultivation every day.

Because this is an extremely physically and mentally demanding process.

The continuous use of "practice" over a long period of time, to the point of exhausting the mental energy in one's body.

This is a form of self-torture.

After months of extreme training, that's practically the limit of what a human can do.

It will definitely take a long time to rest and relax before I can get back into that state.

Moreover, anyone who can continue training like this must be a person with unwavering determination and a strong will.

And remember, the more you recite, the more painful the cultivation will be, and the longer it will take.

The results are not guaranteed.

This is why Kevin's Nen boost speed is completely unlike that of a human.

All he needs to do is take drugs.

What he needs to do is keep searching for more powerful materials to create the corresponding potions.

Before arriving on the Dark Continent, even though Kevin had broken through his limits, his power remained unchanged, stuck there.

So many years have passed, yet their strength hasn't improved.

While both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, Kevin's approach clearly has almost no major drawbacks.

Its advantages far exceed those of normal cultivation.

"Gon's talent is beyond doubt. After using this potion, he should be more effective than me, or even if he is weakened, he should be on par with me."

"The result was less than half the effect, and even less than a quarter."

Kevin was not satisfied with the result.

For a normal person practicing cultivation, the efficiency is only 1.

Some of them are talented, such as Biscuit or Netero in the past.

The efficiency might be around 1.3 or 1.5.

At most, it will double, reaching 2.

If Gon and Qi train normally, they can reach this speed.

With the help of the medicine, one can restore their Nen level and unleash even more Nen Aura.

In the same amount of time, the rate of improvement increased several times over.

The greater the talent, the more obvious it becomes.

For example, Biscuit's speed of increasing Nen increased from 1.3 to 6.

Gon and Killua's speed immediately increased to 10.

It has increased several times over compared to before.

Especially after the Dark Continent, this efficiency may improve slightly.

This is why their strength is approaching its limit.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, reaching the limit of one's own strength would require more than ten years of consistent training.

Take Netero, for example.

But on the Dark Continent, they fight, train, and hunt.

Given their already considerable strength, the entire process can be completed in less than a year.

After reaching the Knight Rank, the process of continuously increasing one's Nen power to a million naturally becomes more complicated.

However, it is also possible to use more powerful drugs.

However, at this moment, Kevin's Nen ability was borrowed, and Kevin's method of increasing strength was used, which was different from the previous method of improvement.

The speed has at most doubled from the original 10 to 20, and at its absolute limit, it could reach 25.

Kevin's improvement rate at that time was 100.

At this stage, Kevin's Nen ability is estimated to be between 500 and 1000, perhaps even a million.

Is it helpful to others?

Of course.

But it wasn't as dramatic as Kevin himself imagined.

This is one of the things Kevin is less satisfied with.

After arriving on the Dark Continent, Kevin clearly sensed the problem with the quality of the personnel.

His own abilities far surpassed those of the rest of the Exploration Team.

But the problem is there's only one of him.

It's impossible to use him in two separate ways, and besides, if he later possesses territory, he might even need to stay within that territory for an extended period of time.

Furthermore, manufacturing pharmaceuticals, or other things, also takes time.

If we venture outwards, there will be no strong support to back us up.

Because there isn't even a single Knight Rank member in the team.

"Come here for a moment."

Biscuit said, pulling Kevin along as they walked towards the Meeting Room.

Jin followed behind.

The others stood still and watched this scene, exchanging glances before deciding not to follow.

Their attention shifted to Gon, and they surrounded him, asking him questions.

Kim Biscuit led Kevin into the Meeting Room, where they looked at Kevin.

"The Nen tool didn't work as well as you hoped, did it?"

Jin said.

Kevin nodded.

These two are definitely going to teach him something, and he really needs to humbly accept that.

After all, he couldn't compare to these two in terms of Nen ability and experience in other areas.

This is a difference in experience.

Tell us what you're feeling, and what your current doubts are.

Biscuit looked at Kevin and said.

Kevin nodded and blurted out everything that had just come to mind.

After listening, Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your existence is a very miraculous exception, just as the Gatekeeper said before."

Kevin nodded.

Kim Biscuit might not have a concept of time travelers, but they were aware of Kevin's special abilities.

The body and the soul are not one person.

The soul does not belong to human society, but it is definitely an existence within a human society of the same civilization.

They knew this a very, very long time ago.

"After a million, your body and your soul have become completely integrated, right? There's no longer any barrier."

Kevin nodded upon hearing Kim's question.

"That's right, I should have told you before."

After all, even the form of Nen ability has changed.

"So you haven't realized that your talent is actually quite extraordinary? It's no worse than Gon's, and even comparable to Nion's."

Biscuit looked at Kevin and reminded him.

As Kevin's teacher, Biscuit knew Kevin's talent better than anyone.

Including changes in the other party.

"Your talent was already quite remarkable from the beginning; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken it so seriously to teach you because of Jin's request."

However, at that time, Kevin's problem stemmed from his inexplicably poor learning ability.

It later became clear that the problem stemmed from a mismatch between the soul and the body.

However, the manipulability of Nen Aura and the combined effects of dual abilities can completely compensate for this problem.

"This body is a monster that awakened its Nen ability, which is extremely rare in the entire human society."

"Besides Nion, have you seen anyone else?"

Kevin shook his head when he heard Biscuit's question.

He seemed to have indeed overlooked this point, because of his body's learning ability, he always thought he had very little talent.

But that was before.

Moreover, his physical talents are actually not bad; what he lacks is his learning ability, which is due to a mismatch.

However, the mismatch issue has now been resolved.

Kevin, due to his abilities, also reached a million, entering another stage where there was no one to compare him to, so he didn't realize it himself and just habitually assumed that way.

This is why he felt regret when the effects of the drug on Gon and the others were not ideal.

"That's the first question. The second question is about Nen ability. Do you know which two Nen ability are the most self-centered?"

Jin asked.

"Enhancement Type and Specialization Type"

"That's right."

Enhancement Type rely on physical talent; everyone's body is different, and even among those Enhancement Type, there will be huge differences.

Therefore, it is a form of Nen ability with minimal involvement of the soul's will.

The Specialization Type is the complete opposite; it is composed of Nen ability in which the soul's will is most involved.

"So you've realized it now? You're a combination of these two extreme Nen ability, and combined with your special state, that's why the [Blank Meteor] effect is so good."

Talent, condition, characteristics.

All three are indispensable.

However, the effect is weakened when this Nen ability is lent to someone else.

As he spoke, Kim took the book in front of Kevin and glanced at it casually.

"Actually, this Nen tool is already quite well made, but it will never, ever achieve the perfect effect you want."

Kim shook his head regretfully and handed it back to Kevin.

Kevin took it and frowned.

"Why?"

Biscuit looked at Kevin seriously and said, "Because in the world of Nen ability, perfection doesn't exist."

"What do you mean?" Kevin was a little confused at first.

"You know that the stronger the Nen ability, the more extreme the user is," Jin asked.

Kevin nodded.

Therefore, those with extreme personalities will never be able to unleash the full potential of their Nen ability.

Kevin thought about it briefly and agreed wholeheartedly.

To achieve powerful Nen ability and realize the desired effects, one must be sufficiently rational.

However, if one is rational enough, then one will not possess powerful Nen ability.

The two are contradictory.

How do you feel about your own luck?

Jin suddenly asked.

Kevin sat up straight at the question.

I thought about it carefully.

I think it's pretty good.

Kevin genuinely felt that way; he believed he was indeed very lucky.

Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this point.

Wrong! You're not lucky.

Jin shook his head.

And this will become clear very soon.

Unpleasant things have already happened.

"Um?!"

Kevin was a little unhappy.

He's very lucky!
