Flame Ability

Once Nen left the body, precise control over it would inevitably involve Manipulation training.

Ordinary Nen bullet training was usually straightforward.

The flame ability Lucky was using now belonged to the same category, though its form was different.

Yet Bellamy had used the wind to guide it, even flinging it back at Lucky to attack him with flames.

His control over his own Nen, as well as his use of Whip Technique, was exceptionally strong.

However, Lucky would not be injured by flames. The flames that struck him were absorbed by him; apart from the impact, they could not harm him.

"Good!" Bellamy shouted.

Being able to absorb flames also meant that Lucky could control them with greater precision.

"If you have any other tricks, use them now. This assessment can end here." Bellamy's eyes shone as he eagerly anticipated Lucky's power over flames.

Everyone present who possessed even a somewhat deeper understanding of Nen Ability—

had already concluded that Lucky was a Specialization type.

Lucky's displayed abilities involved too many categories. At his age, it was absolutely impossible for him to have mastered them all; therefore, he could only be a Specialization type.

And specifically, a Specialization type with a Nen Beast ability.

Specialization never meant being inherently stronger than the other types. It was simply more unusual and difficult to predict.

Generally speaking, Manipulation, Conjuration, and abilities leaning toward Specialization were more common.

An "Emission" type like Lucky who leaned toward Specialization was relatively rare.

Lucky could now see that he might be considered strong against ordinary people or average Nen users.

But compared to a seasoned Nen user like Bellamy, there was still quite a gap.

Judging from the speed of his opponent's whip shadows, even the Sharingan's dynamic vision could not keep up, which meant his body's reaction speed would not keep up either.

Even if he used Phoenix's ability to Apparate, he probably would not be a match.

Because Lucky might not be able to react in time.

Today, Lucky had gained a clearer understanding of his training.

First, he could temporarily put the advanced applications of Nen Ability on hold. Aside from En, he did not need to spend so much effort laying foundations.

Next, he needed to focus on tempering his body, improving his physical condition, and developing Nen's practical use in combat.

As for martial arts techniques, most of them also required a strong body to support their training, like Chairman Netero's punching practice or training methods such as Iron Sand Palm.

Today's battle had also taught Lucky an ability.

As long as he had enough Nen, Bellamy's Nen Whip was something he could also "copy" and use.

Flame manipulation!

Lucky could do more than that, and he knew quite a few flame techniques, though they were all abilities he had only recently developed.

Phoenix's "Nen Beast" ability had given Lucky far too many powers.

Lucky began forming hand seals. Yes, hand seals.

Lucky's flame-control ability came from Phoenix, so he did not need to train Transmutation himself.

After developing the "Dreamscape" ability, he had gained new ideas about how to use his powers.

At first, Lucky's goal had been magic.

Since Phoenix was a Fantastic Beast from the Harry Potter World, he had wondered whether he could use magic as well.

Unfortunately, Lucky had watched Harry Potter, but only the films. There was too little fire-related magic in them, and "replicating" it was rather difficult.

Instead, the hand seals for Fire Style Ninjutsu from the Naruto anime had been easily "developed."

Of course, it was definitely different from the Fire Style Ninjutsu of the Naruto world.

The "seals" had strict requirements, much like a Vow and Restriction. He could not just clap his hands together and conjure whatever he wanted.

This ability was not exclusive to Lucky. Phoenix could use it as well.

Rather than saying he had developed "ninjutsu," it was more accurate to say that, based on Phoenix, he had found a way to use its "magic."

What Lucky used was precisely the Non-Lethal Technique: Great Fireball Technique.

He directly spewed out an enormous fireball, completely different in nature from the scattered flames from before.

It was like a massive Nen bullet wreathed in flames.

This was a fireball, not like the previous flames that could be drawn away by the wind.

Facing this fireball, Bellamy could only choose to dodge.

The Great Fireball was so huge that it directly covered the area of the arena where he stood, forcing him to leap off the platform.

The intense heat rushing toward him alone told him that this was not something that could be defended against with Nen alone.

At least, his Nen could not defend against it.

He might be able to block such an attack head-on, but if he could not protect his entire body, it would be meaningless.

It was a Nen Ability with tremendous destructive power.

Of course, in the eyes of those present, this ability still had its limitations.

First was Lucky's hand seals. The casting motions were far too obvious, and the fireball itself was slower than a Nen bullet attack.

Everyone present could dodge before Lucky's attack reached them.

Of course, no one dared underestimate this ability.

Because it possessed a lethal effect and could not be resisted head-on.

When Nen users fought, if one side possessed a lethal ability, then most of their battle plans would revolve around that "certain kill."

For example, when Kurapika fought the Phantom Troupe, all his goals centered on binding Phantom Troupe members with Chain Jail.

Of course, real combat was never absolute. Sometimes, it was also possible to use a "certain-kill" ability as a trap while placing the true killing move elsewhere.

The entire floor had been burned red, even liquefying in places.

Making everyone clearly understand the power of this ability.

"Let's stop here. Your assessment is over. Your strength is more than enough for you to become a referee above the 200th Floor. You might even have a chance to compete for chief referee." Bellamy said with a smile.

After all, this was only an assessment. They merely needed to see Lucky's strength.

There was no need to truly determine a winner.

Lucky also canceled his ability.

The other chief referees congratulated Barn. Having such an adopted son was a source of pride.

Even the usually stern Barn had a rare smile on his face.

After this assessment, Lucky officially became a referee on the 200th Floor.

His authority within Heavenly Arena rose once again.

Of course, he still needed to become familiar with the role.

Soon after the assessment, disciples from other Martial Arts Schools came to invite Lucky.

Every offer tempted Lucky greatly.

"You're different from me. You're still young, and your talent is exceptional. If you join a Martial Arts School, your growth will be much faster." Barn also believed that Lucky should join a Martial Arts School.

"Yeah, that's what I'm planning too."

"When you used to train Nen, I could not guide you much. Now that you've begun training martial arts, there are some things I can teach you."

As someone who had come up through unconventional means, Barn could only teach Lucky some methods for strengthening the body.
