Weapon X Netero's Martial Way

"Call out!"

A float with a fishing hook cuts through the air.

The hook caught a soft ball floating in the air. With a sharp pull, the hook quickly retracted, and only then could one vaguely see a line.

Gon reached out and grabbed the float, removed the soft ball from the hook, and tossed it into the air to make it float.

Why do you want to practice this? Isn't this for fishing?

Three-Tails sat on a large tree nearby, holding Game Console, looking at Gon and asking with some confusion.

Gon waved his fishing rod.

"Because my biggest hobby when I was a kid was fishing. I even caught the Fish King, which allowed me to leave the island and become Hunter x Hunter. Otherwise, I might be a fisherman on the island now."

Looking at the brand-new fishing rod in his hand, Gon couldn't help but laugh, reminiscing about the past.

With that, he gave it another light flick, and the hook, dragging the fishing line, flew out quickly, hitting a soft ball that was moving rapidly through the air.

"And these can also be used as weapons. Having a handy weapon is much better than using your fists."

The Three-Tails is still a mystery; what weapon can compare to claws, teeth, and a tail?

Dad didn't use any weapons, and he wasn't that powerful.

Gon was very satisfied with the fishing rod in his hand.

Before he learned Nen ability, he used his fishing rod as a weapon, which helped him a lot on his path to becoming Professional Hunter.

However, once Gon became Hunter x Hunter, the usefulness of the fishing rod decreased dramatically. If he continued to use the fishing rod as a weapon, it would only hold him back.

Gon naturally abandoned his weapon without hesitation and fought with his fists.

This was also true on the Dark Continent.

But things are different now.

Because they discovered "Nen Sand".

The most important use of this material is in crafting items related to Nen user.

Whether it's a device mixed with technology, a weapon, or Nen tool.

They are all very useful.

For example, the fishing rod in his hand.

Of course, "Nen Sand" is also very precious, so it's impossible for the entire fishing rod to be made from this material.

This fishing rod was just made when they left the Manor.

The main body of the fishing rod is naturally made of the strongest and most flexible super alloy available today, and reinforced with Nen Aura, so it can be used as a weapon for whipping.

The main materials used were Nen Sand line, hooks, and floats.

It saves on material usage and allows for the transmission of Nen Aura) with almost no loss when using a fishing rod.

Because it transmits and functions with virtually no loss.

Gon's Enhancement Type Nen ability can effectively increase the toughness of materials.

This fishing line is so strong that even in the Dark Continent, few creatures can break free from it.

This is also a necessary weapon to carry in response to the increasingly difficult and complex scenarios encountered during hunting.

On the Dark Continent, especially after establishing his territory, Gon found that his role became less important in many hunting missions.

Gon's strength lies in his powerful punches. If he were to unleash a punch with full force, no one in Kevin's Exploration Team could withstand it.

Therefore, he usually plays a decisive role, while at other times he looks for opportunities and waits for his teammates to create them for him.

However, once the situation becomes about capturing him alive or not killing him, his effectiveness drops sharply.

This is something their Hunting team often do.

Because the number of creatures on the Dark Continent is not large, but each one is powerful enough.

Therefore, when they only need to obtain a portion of non-lethal materials, they will either capture the enemy alive or acquire them during combat, and then immediately withdraw from the battle after obtaining them.

It doesn't kill the opponent every time, or rather, the chance of killing them is relatively small; it only actually kills them two or three times out of ten.

Sometimes they even treat these creatures.

The main problem is that many creatures have indeed searched the entire surrounding area but only found three or four of their own kind.

Sometimes there is only a single individual.

This leads to some creatures becoming so valuable that hunting them is the most destructive and short-sighted behavior.

Especially when materials suddenly become available, which are very valuable to Kevin's potions.

New materials for crafting weapons have been acquired.

Naturally, Gon chose a different fishing rod.

Just then, Qi walked up from behind, carrying a yo-yo that was twirling in his hands.

Alluka followed beside her, her face full of stars, exclaiming in surprise at Qi's actions.

That's right, this yo-yo was also made by "Nen Sand".

It is also used to compensate for the current shortcomings.

At this moment, Qi's weakness is simply its low destructive power.

His Nen ability is, after all, Transmutation Type, so it shines more in close combat and through self-enhancement.

That is, it is accomplished using electricity.

However, at this stage, his electrical output has more of a paralyzing and disruptive effect on the creatures of the Dark Continent.

The results were remarkable.

This causes its function to be reversed from Gon's focus.

He was the main force in all kinds of hunting, chasing, and capturing.

But when it comes to situations requiring destructive power, his abilities fail him.

The amount of electricity output was insufficient to cause fatal damage to the enormous creatures of the Dark Continent.

Besides using "Nen Sand," the yo-yo in his hand also contained an Unmanned Stone.

So, besides his necklace, he also had one on his weapon.

This one on the weapon can also play a certain role when attacking.

Accumulate lightning to produce a destructive explosive effect.

To compensate for the destructive nature of the strange.

The four of them had only been gathered here for a short while when the butler came to inform them.

After packing up, I returned home.

Silva and Zeno had been waiting for a long time.

In addition, his other brothers were also sitting around him.

This could be considered a family meeting.

Seeing this, Gon prepared to leave with Three-Tails first.

Silva, however, said...

"Sit down with me, it's not confidential information."

Hearing this, Gon didn't refuse and sat down next to him.

"What's wrong, Dad? You don't want me to take over as the head of the family, do you? Let me make this clear, that's impossible. I'm definitely going to return to the Dark Continent with the Exploration Team —or rather, the [Dark Probe] team."

I'll say it again.

For the Exploration Team, a group of people with an adventurous spirit.

Having known and stayed in the Dark Continent for so long, their threshold has been raised.

Human society is now left with only an atmosphere of peace.

It's fine for them to come and rest for a while, but if they stay for too long, they'll just get bored.

Moreover, he hated killing, was weary of, and even loathed this kind of life, which is why he left.

Now they've gotten powerful; they've returned to be the head of the family and are even carrying out assassinations.

Then all my skill was for nothing?

"Is Kiy already considering becoming the head of the family? She's really grown up—"

Qi ignored his mother's touching words.

He was already used to his mother's words and his Specialization.

"That's not the case; in fact, your strength has long since rendered us unable to restrict you any further."

Silva waved his hand and said.

He had long since given up on the idea of letting Kiy the head of the family.

Unlike my former self, my former father, and my former grandfather.

A powerful talent coupled with a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

This will allow Kiy to truly break free from her family's fate.

"What I want to know is about the exploration of the Dark Continent, and the specific results of your negotiations with V6. Some information has been finalized and has begun to circulate among the upper echelons."

The butler next to me handed me a document.

Qi opened it to take a look, and Gon also leaned over to look.

The information above was all information they had discussed and decided on beforehand, and it would obviously spread within the Nen ability community in a while.

It's not surprising that the Zoldyck Family's intelligence network obtained information early.

"That's all."

After speaking, Kiy thought for a moment, considering what he could and could not say.

After thinking it over, he really couldn't figure out what he couldn't say.

It doesn't seem to matter.

"If we have to point out any important information not listed here, it's that Moon Bay, the frontline base of the Dark Continent, is the private territory of the Dark Probe, and the organization owns it."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

What does this tell us?

This means that if the Dark Probe wanted to, they could even establish a nation on the Dark Continent.

Of course, based on the information obtained from Qi's words, this is clearly impossible.

However, it is possible to establish a Forward Base, thereby transforming that Forward Base into a city.

This city will operate as an independent city-state.

The key point is not that the Dark Probe own this Forward Base, but that the Dark Probe have become an independent organization that does not belong to any party.

It's like a country.

This means that the Dark Probe is unique and irreplaceable in the Dark Continent.

Then the Dark Probe could expand across the Dark Continent.

We can tell from the strength of Qi and Gon, as well as information from their previous battles.

This group of people possesses absolute personal combat power, the highest level of human capability.

With that in mind, Silva made a decision immediately.

He had already discussed this decision with his father and grandfather last night.

"Kiy, you will no longer be the heir of the family. You will break away and become an independent individual, but you will still be a member of the Zoldyck Family."

"You can establish your own branch of the Zoldyck Family in the future. The family's philosophy and exploration methods will be determined by you. We are only connected by blood and kinship."

Upon hearing this, the strongest reaction undoubtedly came from the mother standing nearby.

Just as he was about to say something, he was given a cold look by Silva, so he could only shut his mouth and sit there restlessly.

"I haven't thought about settling down yet!"

Qi said loudly.

She used to put me in charge of the household, but now she's acting like she's pressuring me to get married.

"I'm just asking you to build your own clan, under the Zoldyck Family name. As for when to build it, that's your own business."

The meeting was simple and straightforward.

But that night, Kiy to be summoned by his father for a private talk.

Nosra Manor.

After a long period of busy work, Netero finally found some free time to come over.

"I'm an old man with bones like this, and I still have to work hard outside. You, a young man, are just hiding here."

As soon as he arrived, Netero began to express his dissatisfaction.

However, Kevin just sat on the sofa and picked at his ear, completely ignoring him.

"I'm not the Chairman of the Hunter Association, and it's not like I didn't pay you."

I rolled my eyes.

Biscuit sat quietly to the side, sipping her tea.

As Netero walked over and sat down, a tray floated over and placed tea and snacks in front of him.

V6 wants more stock.

Hearing this, Kevin rolled his eyes again. Seriously, that's enough.

"Most of what we brought back has already been traded, and with the completion of various tasks, the last of the goods have also been traded."

"If we want more, then the whole chain needs to be operational. If we want more, then we need to make them faster."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Netero chuckled.

"That's right, that's exactly what I told them."

According to the plan, the entire exploration has formed a chain.

The Dark Probe provide a safe Forward Base on the Dark Continent and offer additional power-enhancing potions.

The Hunter Association provides Professional Hunter to explore the Dark Continent. These explorers will naturally obtain what they want in the Dark Continent and then return.

Most importantly, V6 will partner with the Hunter Association to form a trading fleet.

The selection process primarily involves each country providing its elite personnel.

These individuals are naturally chosen to possess various spatial Nen ability, and they will be responsible for the human freight transport.

This is the fastest and safest method.

According to regulations, this group of freight workers will become part of the Dark Probe.

Of course, this is only in name.

After all, according to the rules, only those who are Dark Probe are allowed to travel freely back and forth.

"Now that I have some free time, I'd like to ask, what was that thing that appeared behind you during the battle against the Undying disease?"

Upon hearing this, Kevin glanced at him.

"Mental Image, didn't I already explain that in the materials?"

Kevin never hid this information; he wrote it directly into the data and shared it with the Hunter Association and various countries.

"I know, don't play dumb here. I'm asking about your experience after using it, and what it is in your opinion?"

I've written about these before.

However, Netero clearly wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

"As one's strength increases to a certain stage, the thing formed by the combination of spirit and qi should be a perfect fusion product that only humans can possess."

Anyway, based on what he saw...

The Lord Level creatures of the Dark Continent likely come from two directions.

It leans towards the spiritual or the physical.

Human perception suggests a possible middle ground of integration.

It's hard to say which is better or worse.

Anyway, there are three different routes.

"Essentially, it's similar to your Hundred-Type Guanyin. For those with active minds and strong abilities, they can faintly sense the Guanyin image behind your Hundred-Type Guanyin Forms of Guanyin."

For Netero to achieve this subtle imagery without even surpassing his limits is already quite ingenious.

The ultimate goal of martial arts is the relentless exploration of oneself.

Netero is far ahead on this path.

"As for the punch you mentioned, it was essentially a punch thrown from the Mental Image, and this punch was a powerful mental attack, which is why it shattered the shadow."

"This shockwave will naturally affect all sentient beings in the vicinity. Just as a person's body will sway when faced with a strong impact, the mind will do the same."

"This swaying is uncontrollable, fleeting, and doesn't actually harm humans. In a daze, it's as if this part of the memory is missing, like a human being swayed by an impact, or having their eyes blown shut by wind pressure."

After speaking, Kevin looked at Netero.

Suddenly, I remembered my idea from when I was in the Dark Continent.

At the Lord Rank, what are the limits of human capabilities, and how can individual strength be developed?

These are all problems.

These are all extremely difficult things for Kevin to figure out on his own.

The Mental Image came from Netero. After Kevin was promoted to Lord, he naturally sensed it and put it into practice.

But think about Slash Ghost. The opponent can essentially be considered human now. However, it was Kevin who taught him about Mental Image, so this is not an instinct that comes with reaching a certain level of strength.

Entering dreams is an ability learned through the transmission of information by the Overlord.

And the "Mental Fist" that annihilates the shadows.

It's purely a powerful, high-impact brick.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his Mental Image gather and unleash this punch.

Netero is undoubtedly a genius.

The ultimate martial artist.

If given the right conditions, Netero's breakthrough to the Lord is a certainty.

This would alleviate Kevin's pressure and allow him to focus more on developing the various abilities that are generally applicable to Lord Level humans.

It's important to understand that Netero's reputation and status largely stem from the "Water Divination he developed, as well as the standardization of Nen ability training and various training methods.

Not to mention that Netero was already in a completely suitable position at this point.

Before leaving, Kevin had already given him a potion to break through his limits.

Now, Netero only lacks Thick White Milk.

And then they would reach the Dark Continent, train in the Gravity Zone, and break through their physical limits.

"What's wrong, kid? What are you up to?"

Netero suddenly asked with a smile.

He felt that he might have achieved his goal of coming here today.
