Bloodline Limits at My Fingertips; the Spider Walks into the Trap

"Buzz~"

The propellers shredded the air, creating a continuous buzzing sound.

On flight K8451 bound for the Republic of Padokea, in VIP compartment number 9.

Roy sat on the soft sofa by the window, slowly sipping his black tea with Gotoh's help. A book lay open on the mahogany table in front of him—his grandfather Jager's cultivation notes.

Turning to page 27, the book clearly records his understanding of "a series of qualitative Transformation in Nen Ability."

According to him... ["Thought" is both complex and simple]

[Its complexity lies in... it is a combination of complex human emotions and physical potential, emphasizing a series of elements such as "spiritual will," "mental reflection," and "soul strength."]

[It's simple... it can be further divided into "yin" and "yang", and subdivided into "five elements", which form the basis for all kinds of things that exist in the world.]

As for the [mechanisms] that make up "Nen Ability" other than the numerical value of "energy," that's a different matter altogether, involving [Vow and Limitation].

Roy took a sip of his black tea, recalling his conversation with Kim.

Only by understanding and deeply experiencing "things" can one have the possibility of "manifesting" or "reverse manifesting" them. Guan Gotoh asked for a pen, sat down next to the blank space in his notebook, pondered for a few seconds, and filled in his own thoughts... To say he deeply experienced "things" is perhaps a misnomer...

One must have a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts of "Yin," "Yang," and the "Five Elements" that constitute this world.

Just as Wood Release is a product of combining Water Release and Earth Release, further enhanced by the Sun, could other Bloodline Limits in the Hokage world also be formed using the same approach?

Roy put down his pen and fell into deep thought.

"Whoosh..." Outside the window, white clouds drifted by, and the sky was azure. Due to the altitude, the airship flew higher and higher, and the temperature gradually dropped.

A gust of wind blew in, creating a stream of air that spread across the windowpane, condensing into a thin layer of mist that dripped down the window.

Gotoh quietly took the teacup in front of Roy, intending to add some hot tea for him. But as soon as her hand touched the rim, Roy casually waved his hand in refusal.

"Young Master, the tea has gone cold," Gotoh explained.

"Then heat it up for him."

Without any visible movement from the Sun-Earring Boy, he simply reached out and grasped the teacup. A thought flashed through his mind, and he attempted to separate two strands of Nen Qi, one [fire] and one [water], pouring them into the "black tea" in the cup... The already cooled black tea visibly heated up, and within two seconds, it even... bubbled and boiled, with bubbles rising to the surface... clearly [boiling]...

[Fire] + [Water] equals [Boiling]... This is also the [Boil Release] mastered by the Five-Tails, Kokuou!

"Young Master, boiling water can easily scald your esophagus. You'd better let it cool down a bit before drinking," Gotoh reminded him carefully.

Roy nodded. "Then make it cool."

Roy held the teacup still, his thoughts shifting as he tried to connect [wind] and [water], sending two strands of his Nen Qi into the cup... The steaming black tea, which had been bubbling away, suddenly seemed to have been thrown into a snowy wonderland, gradually falling silent, and finally solidifying into a lump of iced tea after being blown by a cold wind!

[Wind] + [Water] equals [Ice]... This is also the bloodline limit possessed by Haku, who once followed Zabuza, of the Yuki clan... [Ice Release]!

Roy turned the cup upside down; the iced tea was clearly inedible.

He smiled and asked Gotoh, "Want a popsicle?"

Gotoh felt a pain in her cheek and said speechlessly, "My teeth are bulging."

"Yeah, it's too cold, it'll give you a headache." Roy nodded noncommittally, then his thoughts shifted, and suddenly a blazing red light appeared from the hand holding the teacup... The frozen black tea instantly thawed, neither too hot nor too cold, just right. As Roy brought it to his lips, he took a small sip, and it was refreshingly invigorating... He instantly understood that [Fire] + [Earth] equals [Molten]... which is the [Lava Release] that the Four-Tails Son Goku excels at!

Gotoh, who had been silently observing from the side, waited until Roy finished his tea, then refilled his cup before adjusting his glasses and saying, "Young Master," Water Divination said to you, "I cannot accept your request."

"Your perspective is so inclusive!"

[Water Divination]: A method for testing Nen Ability related to the Shingen-ryu Test.

Take a glass of water and add air into it. [Enhancement]: Water volume increases.

[Transmutation]: The taste of the water changes.

[Conjuration]: Crystals will appear in water.

[Emission]: The water changes color.

[Manipulation]: The water surface will move; placing a leaf in will make it more noticeable.

[Specialization]: Phenomena that do not belong to the above five types are all Specialization. For example, the fourth prince of Kakin, Tserriednich Twice- Hui Guo Rou, after awakening his Nen Ability, can make water extremely foul, just like himself, who is utterly wicked.

But someone like Roy, who can boil, solidify, melt, and change the state of water at will... this is the first time Gotoh has ever seen anything like it.

"This is not the Water Divination." Roy Browse his notes, offering no further explanation.

The young butler should focus on honing his applied skills at this stage; going any deeper would only waste his time.

After his battle with Razor, Gotoh clearly realized the gap between himself and Leiza. Since the Young Master didn't want to elaborate, he wisely refrained from asking further. As usual, he summarized and reported on the family's situation, mentioning... that Roy had specifically instructed him to send a chef to Meteor City... Gotoh peeked out the window and tentatively asked, "Young Master, my flight connects to Yorknew City. Would you like to take a stroll around Meteor City?"

The Yorbian to the Republic of Padokea will inevitably pass through the Republics of Yorknew City and Minbo Republic.

The layover gives you almost half a day, enough time to take a stroll around Meteor City.

But... with "Taiyi" stationed there, Roy doesn't need to go there personally anymore, and besides... he did a good job.

[Power of Faith +1]

A faint smile curved Roy's lips as he shared a sliver of his mind with Taiyi, focusing on their Share vision and memories.

At that time, Meteor City officially moved into 4th Street in the West District after Roy (Taiyi) and Kastro killed Bolton and Ilya, and began to spread their teachings.

4th Street, which was once considered a forbidden area, has gradually opened its doors to the outside world, attracting more and more curious people.

Among them were many tests, suspicions, and even... hostility. The reason for this was that, in the eyes of Meteor City, which has always respected the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, it was truly astonishing that one could get a piece of bread and a bowl of porridge from a Porridge Stall set up in a cleared square in front of the church without any conditions, as long as one sincerely said "Praise the Sun".

"To be honest, I think that Priest is either out of his mind or something. He's just doing good deeds for nothing because he thinks he has too much money..."

Is the bread delicious?

","Tasty!"

"Is the porridge delicious?"

"Delicious!"

"Then what are we waiting for? You said he's out of his mind, let's just rob the Porridge Stall, tie him up, and split all the money we find!"

"Great idea! Once you're here, you're not leaving. Not even bread crumbs will escape Meteor City!"

Groups of people went in "ambitiously," only to come out "bruised and battered," until the third day after Roy moved into the dilapidated church...

Uvogin Nobunaga also among those who were clamoring to kidnap this "brain-dead tycoon" on District 4.

Why not take the free bread?

"Chrollo, you're scared, but I'm not!" 3rd Street, Church of the True God.

Having just finished rehearsing "The Cleaning Squad," Uvogin rubbed his rumbling stomach, glared disgruntled at Chrollo and the others blocking his way, and turned to Shalnark, Nobunaga, "Hey~ old man, what do you say?"

Nobunaga, with his long, horse-like face, wore a loose-fitting bathrobe that looked like it had been salvaged from some junkyard, even the rusty, broken sword tied at his waist was crooked... He silently took two steps forward and stood side by side with Uvogin, quietly watching Chrollo Pakunoda Shalnark, and the other two, and without even glancing at Uvogin, said, "I'm only a year older than you. Call me 'old man' again, and I'll chop you up!"

"Being a year older is still being older!" Uvogin laughed heartily, his back straight as a bear, directly overshadowing Chrollo... It seemed that with Nobunaga Shalnark his side, he was no longer hesitant or restrained, and even his aura was different!

"Little Gold, A Xin, are you two bullying Xiao Ku again?" A fierce little girl strode over as her two golden ponytails swung. Due to long-term malnutrition, the ends of her hair were a sickly yellow, and she looked as withered as a blade of grass bent over by frost... yet she had a very imposing aura!

He took two steps at a time, forcefully inserting himself between the group, using his body to block Chrollo and Uvogin, his eyes glaring as if to say... If you want to fight, get past me first!

Uvogin:".

Nobunaga:

He actually didn't make another move. In fact... even Uvogin was so anxious he was practically jumping up and down, he was still afraid of accidentally shoving Sarasa and killing her. So he glared at her and yelled, "Don't stop me! They've gone too far!"

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents... There's free bread on 4th Street, but they won't go themselves, and they won't even tell others to go!

"Is it true, Kuroro?" Sarasa turned to look at Chrollo.

He then glanced at the Shalnark Pakunoda.

The three children still feel lingering fear when they recall what they witnessed on that highest garbage mountain!

What kind of Swordsmanship could connect with flames, and what kind of flames could vaporize the entire church, including Bolton and the others?

Bolton and Ilya's terrified faces, unable even to utter a wail, would appear before Chrollo's eyes from time to time, waking him up countless times in the middle of the night. This had negatively impacted his rehearsals these past few days, causing him to frequently break into silence. (The Prayer Hall was silent at this moment.)

Chrollo took a deep breath and looked truthfully at Sarasa, Uvogin, and Nobunaga, saying, "It's too dangerous there. That Priest and his attendants are no ordinary people, and we can't afford to offend them."

There was something the Sun-Earring Boy didn't say... He'd overheard the other man mention it yesterday while cleaning at Boss Belus's mansion... Because of Bolton and Ilya's deaths, a power vacuum had emerged on 4th Street. The entire block, including that Priest, had become easy prey for many powerful figures. And now, it wasn't just Belus... the Seventh Elder... the Eighth Elder... the Twelfth Elder of the Presbyterian Council of Elders, and the many powerful figures behind them were all watching. It was obvious...

A bloody storm awaits that Priest, and his servants...

Chrollo keenly grasped this information and naturally didn't want Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others to rashly get involved at this time. Otherwise... given their strength, they might have to offer a white chrysanthemum to them this time next year!

"Sarasa, you saw that... he's a coward!"

"What Priest? I'll knock him down with one punch!" Uvogin raised his fist, which was as big as a bowl. Taking advantage of the others' inattention, he bypassed Sarasa, grabbed the Shalnark with his big hand, almost making him stumble, and then, in a second, he was already out of the church and strode away!

Just like in the original story, he broke away from the group without permission, determined to challenge Kurapika to a duel. However, this time, Nobunaga silently followed behind him with his sword drawn, and Sarasa, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, glancing at Chrollo.

"Tap... tap..."

"Little Gold, A Xin, wait for me!"

Two golden ponytails swayed in the wind.

Sarasa withdrew his gaze, took a step, and followed.

The once grand prayer hall was now completely empty, with only Chrollo and his two companions remaining.

"See? I told you so. It's Uvogin I didn't say anything at all. That bear Uvogin just won't listen."

The Shalnark fiddled with the Game controller he had just salvaged from a junkyard. He pried open the back panel and found one battery was missing... He shrugged and spread his hands.

Chrollo remained silent for a long time. After a moment, he took a step and followed the direction that Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Sarasa had left, heading towards District 4.

Hey~ Where are you going?

The Shalnark reached out and grabbed at nothing.

Beside him, Pakunoda, whose chest was already quite voluptuous, glanced sideways and asked the question knowingly.

With another step, following Chrollo, he gracefully exited the church and disappeared, leaving only Shalnark staring blankly at the Shalnark. Perhaps it was the emptiness of the prayer hall that made it feel so cold... After a long while, he reached out and dug his hand into his face, took several deep breaths, calmed himself down, kicked the controller into his chest, and strode after him...
