Moyu's Nen Attribute

Two exchanges of attack and defense...

Moyu was utterly defeated.

"There's no chance at all."

During the break, Moyu replayed and simulated the fight in his head, concluding that there wasn't even a sliver of opportunity.

Physical fitness could be improved through consistent training, but combat experience and practical techniques could only be honed through actual battle.

Moyu slowly closed his eyes, simultaneously shutting his aura nodes, trapping the "Nen" that would have leaked out within his body to speed up recovery.

Right now, he only wanted to recover enough to fight again and continue his practical training.

About an hour later, Moyu's "potential aura capacity" finally returned to 90%.

Deciding it was enough to support a fight, he immediately had Light start sparring with him.

A few minutes later—

Moyu was on the ground again.

It was another undeniable defeat, but Moyu wasn't discouraged.

He knew very well that even if he had a hundred days, he couldn't defeat Light in a "martial duel."

Because physical fitness couldn't be achieved overnight, and combat experience and practical techniques required long-term refinement and accumulation.

In ten days of sparring, all Moyu could do was absorb enough "experience points" from the countless failures to come.

"Again."

Once he had fully recovered, Moyu got up without pause and called for Light to start sparring again.

Light smiled, then knocked Moyu down in a few moves.

Under the condition of "equal aura capacity," he didn't abuse Nen techniques to bully the weaker; instead, he relied purely on martial skill and experience to crush Moyu.

It wasn't until noon that the sparring was forced to stop.

The reason was that the gold Light had purchased had arrived.

30 million Jenie had been exchanged for 18 jin of gold.

Besides the gold, Light had also bought a computer and a phone for Moyu, along with a large amount of meat.

Considering the limited food storage at the temple, Light waved his hand and added several large commercial refrigerators to store the meat.

As for the electrical wiring and internet, those were no problem either...

After all, Light only needed to show his Hunter License to get full-service treatment.

Employees in uniforms shuttled back and forth between the foot of the mountain and the temple, fulfilling all of Light's requirements in just half an hour.

Moyu, who had been seizing the time to recover his "potential aura capacity" on the side, was stunned. He really hadn't expected Light to be so thorough...

He had originally planned to get a computer and phone after the sparring was over, but Light had quietly taken care of it all.

And he had even considered the internet and electrical load.

Was an Enhancer really this meticulous?

Moyu couldn't help but doubt Light's true Nen category.

"Light."

Holding the latest-model phone, fully featured and expensive, Moyu looked at Light and said sincerely, "You've gone to so much trouble. How about this—the 'debt of gratitude' I mentioned earlier..."

"It's just a little money spent."

Light cut Moyu off, glaring. "What, is my 'debt of gratitude' really that cheap?"

"That's not what I meant."

Moyu shook his head.

He didn't have a strong reaction to the 18 jin of gold exchanged for 30 million Jenie, but what Light had done for him truly touched his heart.

It made him feel, deep down, that letting Light carry another "debt of gratitude" was something inappropriate.

"Heh, I don't care what you meant."

Light grinned, showing a row of neat teeth, and said in his distinctive low voice, "Anyway, the 'debt of gratitude' I owe can't be something this cheap."

"Understood."

Moyu didn't insist.

Convincing an Enhancer was less meaningful than doing a few hundred push-ups under the sun.

After that, Light went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Pork, beef, lamb, chicken...

Basically all meat.

According to him, eating more meat made it easier to build muscle.

Moyu felt this reasoning was nothing but sophistry.

But still—that same old rule applied:

Never try to change what an Enhancer has set their mind on.

It would only be a waste of time.

After a long while.

Light carried out basin after basin of meat, still boiled as usual.

The two sat down separately.

Light gathered Nen around his mouth, then grabbed a large chunk of meat and shoved it in. His teeth crunched like a meat grinder, and within seconds, he had chewed and swallowed it down.

"Moyu, have you tested your Nen affinity yet?"

After swallowing a big piece of meat, Light suddenly remembered this and asked.

"Not yet."

Moyu picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it.

After stepping through the threshold of Nen, a single thought had half-awakened his Nen ability. Even so, he hadn't considered using Water Divination to test his category. His foundation wasn't solid yet, and cramming unnecessary information into his head would only backfire.

As a transmigrator, should he rush to test his affinity the moment he started the Four Major Principles? Moyu didn't think it was urgent. Focusing wholeheartedly on cultivating the Four Major Principles was the priority.

Now that Light had asked, he didn't bother hiding it.

If it had been before—

Moyu would have first deflected with a "What's testing affinity?" to mask any information about himself.

Light paused, then casually asked, "Want to test it after we eat?"

He had actually considered the possibility that Moyu's father, Hawk, might be a Nen user. But right now, his only thought was to demonstrate his value as a "future master" in front of Moyu.

Anything beyond that wasn't on his list of concerns.

"Sure."

Moyu agreed readily.

Nen affinities were divided into six types—

Enhancer, Transmuter, Conjurer, Emitter, Manipulator, and Specialist.

Each type had its unique strengths, with Specialist being the rarest and most special of all.

Every person had their own inherent affinity. As long as one followed their natural type to choose the right direction for Nen ability training, they could achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Conversely, abilities outside one's own category were difficult to master.

Thus, before deciding on a direction for Nen ability training, every Nen user had to test their affinity through Water Divination.

After that, Moyu and Light buried themselves in their meal.

The two seemed to maintain an unspoken understanding.

Before long.

Full and satisfied, they began preparations for testing Nen affinity.

There wasn't much to prepare—just a cup filled with water, with a leaf placed on the surface.

Then, all they had to do was surround the cup with both hands and activate Nen. The phenomenon that occurred in the cup would reveal their Nen affinity.

For an Enhancer, the water volume increased and overflowed.

For a Transmuter, the water's taste changed, varying from person to person.

For a Conjurer, crystalline substances appeared in the water.

For an Emitter, the water's color changed.

For a Manipulator, the leaf on the surface moved or swayed.

Specialist was special—any phenomenon that didn't match the other five types fell under Specialist.

Light gestured for Moyu to stand before the cup, then directed, "Surround the cup with both hands and activate your Nen."

Before starting the test, regardless of whether Moyu already knew, he immediately explained the knowledge about Nen affinities.

This was the resolve to demonstrate his value as a "future master"—he wouldn't pass up any chance to show off, even if Moyu might already know the information.

Moyu didn't find Light long-winded either, and he followed along readily.

He extended both hands to surround the cup and activated his Nen.

In an instant, a surge of energy erupted from his palms, enveloping the cup.

Hummm...

Under the influence of Nen, the cup suddenly vibrated at a low frequency, emitting a buzzing sound.

At the same time, an unknown black mist-like substance spread through the water, like ink splashed on rice paper, or like a living, shifting shadow.

Seeing this, a flicker of surprise flashed in Light's eyes.

"Specialist, huh..."

This was the first time he had seen the "Specialist" phenomenon during a Water Divination test.

Or rather, the vast majority of Nen users had never witnessed the "Specialist" phenomenon in a Water Divination test.

Because "Specialist" itself was the rarest and most unique existence among the six attributes.

"Moyu, you can—"

Seeing that the attribute had been determined, Light opened his mouth to tell Moyu to stop, but his words cut off mid-sentence.

The water glass wrapped in Moyu's Nen suddenly burst into fragments.

The sudden impact carried liquid and shards through Moyu's fingers, and the leaf that had been floating on the water's surface split into dozens of pieces in an instant.

Moyu's eyelids twitched slightly. Thanks to the protection of his "aura," he wasn't injured.

But the "Specialist" phenomenon unfolding before his eyes sparked a bit of curiosity in him about other "Specialist" phenomena.

He wondered what would happen when other Specialists tested their attributes.

"Moyu, you're a Specialist."

Light suppressed the ripples stirring in his heart, glanced at the glass shards and water stains scattered across the floor, and said:

"Unfortunately, I don't understand Specialists. I can't give you any useful advice, but there's one thing I must remind you: before you decide on a 'direction for ability development,' it's best to first master the techniques of the 'Four Major Principles.'"

"Mm, I know what I'm doing."

Moyu nodded, not sparing the debris on the floor a single glance, and walked to the courtyard.

"Light, let's begin."

He said this.

As if the most unique and rarest "Specialist" attribute couldn't shake his resolve to absorb experience from the sparring as quickly as possible.

Light paused for a moment, then broke into an inexplicable smile.

This guy...

Really something else.

The blazing sun hung high.

In the courtyard, two streams of "aura" clashed against each other.

From morning to night, from today to tomorrow...

Day after day passed.

The ten-day sparring session began its countdown.

Although Moyu still found it hard to gain the upper hand against Light, through one real combat training session after another, he was like a fresh sponge, frantically absorbing experience and Nen techniques.

Light, as his sparring partner, felt this deeply.

"It's like... witnessing a rough stone gradually shed its outer layer, starting to reveal a moving luster."

Light sincerely marveled at Moyu's speed of improvement in combat experience and the Four Major Principles.

"Tomorrow's the last day. I might as well bring it up tonight. With how I've performed during this time, Moyu probably won't refuse, heh."

Seeing the sparring period about to end, Light began mulling over the idea of taking Moyu as his disciple.

Confident in his teaching abilities, he never considered that Moyu might say no.

He had also decided—

If Moyu agreed to his proposal of taking him as a disciple, he would stay at the Temple to continue teaching Moyu, nurturing him like a seedling until Moyu passed the Hunter Exam and officially became a professional Hunter.

That night.

The practical sparring ended, and Moyu collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Light went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

By the time Moyu had recovered enough, the dining table was laden with a large spread of meat dishes.

"Moyu, there's something..."

Light placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Moyu and was about to bring up taking him as a disciple when a ringing sound suddenly broke out.

The sound came from Light's pocket.

Moyu glanced at Light and started eating on his own.

Light pulled out his phone, answered it, and pressed it to his cheek.

"There's news about the 'Phantom Troupe.'"

The voice coming through the phone made Light's eyes sharpen.
