A Fit of the Spurt X Slaughtering Gods Like Cooking

The person slowly disappeared from Roy's sight, and a Youyou breeze blew through the window, dispelling the chill in the bedroom.

Roy watched Silva leave with a faint smile, glancing casually at the sun. There was still half a day and a night until tomorrow. Besides continuing to study his Mangekyō, he also needed to clear the accumulated "Life Energy" and "Power of Faith" from his control panel...

Roy's gaze followed Silva's tall figure as he disappeared around the corner. He stood up, turned, and went into the bathroom, turning on the shower...

"Splash, splash..." The gentle stream cascaded down, like sunlight streaming through the window onto a person, making them feel itchy...

Inside the easternmost training room on the first floor of the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle, the sounds of several balls being struck echoed...

Zeno accompanied Netero, each changing into a smart tracksuit. They clashed over a volleyball net made from a clothes rack... In the blink of an eye, the volleyball, imbued with their Nen Qi, was transformed into a "cannonball," aimed precisely at the opponent's vitals... These two old men, clearly not "Emission" Nen users, used [Zhou] with a skill in no way inferior to top-tier "Emission" Nen user like Razor and Franklin!

The Beans and Luca, who were counting nearby, had their pupils twitching wildly...

"Ho ho ho... Zeno, it seems I've arrived just in time." With his white hair tied into a high ponytail and his ears adorned with two trendy earrings like young people, Netero leaped into the air, his forehead almost touching the ceiling. His right hand was raised high, revealing a "100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva" arm, and he aimed at the flying volleyball with a sharp spike!

Boom! The air exploded!

The volleyball was hit with great force, visibly flattened, and flew backwards towards Zeno's face, taking less than a breath to the left or right!

Its speed was so great that it instantly escaped the limits of human vision!

I'm not sure if you've arrived at the right time.

"All I know is that Roy is faster than I thought!"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar erupted!

Emerging from Zeno's palm... the long robe he always wore, printed with "One Kill A Day, Active Career," was removed and placed aside... Zeno's killing skills remained undiminished... There was no fear in his eyes, nor the slightest intention to dodge; he simply opened his arms, aimed at the volleyball, and skillfully guided it...

The immense Nen Qi transformed into a long, winding, roaring Nen Qi. It opened its massive jaws and bit the volleyball, dissipating the impact while circling Zeno in a semi-circle before charging back towards Netero.

The extent to which the "Transmutation has been used is something Beans has never seen before, not even in the Hunter Association...

"The Zoldyck... only they can hold their own against the Chairman..." The Beans, dressed in a sharp suit, with green skin, a round face, and small, beady eyes, looked rather comical... He was intently focused on the situation on the field, his eyes occasionally glancing out at two things: one towards the dimly lit room at the corner of the first floor, and the other... peering down the stairs towards the second floor, supposedly the bedroom of the current Zoldyck family Silva Zoldyck...

Compared to when he was in the Hunter Association, his demeanor and mindset have noticeably softened.

"Bang!" Nen Dragon roared, struck in the face by Netero's backhand punch of gratitude. He howled in pain, slamming dragon and ball together towards Zeno... Netero chuckled, glancing sideways. After leaving Roy's bedroom, he turned and went upstairs to Silva, letting out a satisfied sigh. "You told me before that the two of you had a one-year agreement. I took it as a joke then, thinking Roy was just boasting and that a beating would solve everything. Now..."

Netero narrowed his old eyes, Youyou watching as "Nen Dragon" was knocked back by his punch, then stopped by Zeno's Nen Qi. Enraged, he lashed out with his tail, hitting the volleyball and heading straight for his heart. His eyes gleamed as he said, "I was blind. Child... you deserve it!"

"His name is Roy Zoldyck," Zeno in a deep voice, his white hair swaying wildly. "Zoldyck of the Zoldyck!"

"Ho ho..." Netero raised his right leg high and brought it down heavily, delivering another high roundhouse kick, intercepting the volleyball mid-air and sending it flying back. He glanced at Zeno and said, "You certainly have reason to be proud, but speaking of you alone..."

Zeno...

"I don't recall someone as distinguished as you from the Zoldyck your own against your grandfather at Roy's age..."

"I might not be able to, but you are?" Zeno an eyebrow, its Nen Dragon claws reaching out to grab the volleyball, dissipating its spin. Then, it tossed the ball, sending it flying over the clothes rack and hurtling back...

Seeing this, Netero said quite naturally, "Of course, I can't either."

The world only knows that he is officially recognized as the "Strongest Human," but they don't know that there is no such thing as "strongest." There is only "stronger."

The old man preferred quiet to activity. Even though he was Enhancement like Maha, their personalities differed, and he didn't like to take action unless necessary. But Netero knew very well that if Maha wanted to, he could take away his title of "Strongest Human" at any time, but he simply... disdained it!

Just like what Jager once told him... [Below the gods, all are ants]!

The so-called "Strongest Human" is nothing more than a slightly larger Chimera Ant...

"Bang!" The volleyball arrived, but Netero slapped it back with a backhand... Just then, the door to the practice room opened, revealing two pink ponytails...

Tsubone slowly pushed the food cart into their view, "Master, it's time for dinner."

"Gurgle, gurgle..." The food cart rolled across the floor with a soft thud.

Zeno waved his hand to disperse the Nen Dragon, and using the residual wave of Nen Qi, he flicked the ball, causing it to lose its force and land lightly in Luca's arms.

"Let's stop fighting and eat."

The food lid was opened, revealing several stir-fried dishes that Netero had never seen before... The old man took the towel handed to him by the Beans, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, glanced at Zeno, and said, "This is the stir-fry that Roy invented on his own, the one you were talking about?"

Heavens have mercy... He's known Roy for so long, how come he never noticed this kid... he seems to have the potential to be a "Gourmet Hunter"?

So, is the "God-Slayer Hunter" really going to treat [gods] like a dish to be cooked?

Startled by a sudden thought that popped into his head... Seeing that Jager remained silent, Netero picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a slice of Hui Guo Rou, and put it in his mouth, savoring it with his old eyes opening and closing... Imitating Jager, he ate with lightning speed, also forgetting to speak...

"Chairman," the Beans followed beside the two, about to pick up his chopsticks, when a plate of twice- Hui Guo Rou pork disappeared in the blink of an eye right in front of him... His beady eyes stared blankly at Netero, just one glance... and then another plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was gone... He rolled his eyes strangely... thinking, "Wait, is the food at the Zoldyck really that good?"

Unconvinced, this Beans had traveled all over the country with Netero and eaten all sorts of delicacies. Taking advantage of the remaining plate of braised pork, he quickly grabbed a bite and popped it into his mouth... His tiny, beady eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed inwardly in shock, "This is even better than Linne's cooking!"

"No... no... it's not as good as Linne's."

However, the dishes were fresh, unlike anything he'd ever eaten at her place before. So, the Beans, snapping out of his reverie, couldn't help but glance again at a bedroom on the west side of the first floor, deeply doubting... could this really have been invented by Roy's child?

In a daze, before he could even take a second bite, the braised pork was gone. Furious, he pounded his chest and stamped his feet, muttering to himself, "I can't eat with those Enhancement; they're all gluttons."

However, there's no going back now, otherwise, the Beans might have bought some to eat.

"Clang!" The plates were empty, the bowls and dishes were empty, the huge food cart was completely empty, and in an instant only a few pairs of chopsticks remained, left lying on the table...

Netero accepted the tissue Tsubone handed him with satisfaction, and looked at Tsubone with a smile, saying, "The little girl who used to always follow Jager around has grown up."

Tsubone remained expressionless, pulling out a tissue and handing it to Zeno, saying, "President, you jest. I'm not old, I'm just getting old."

"I'm ninety and I don't feel old at all. You're only fifty, you're still young."

Tsubone smiled politely and began to clear the dishes.

Zeno slowly wiped his mouth, casually tossed the tissue into an empty bowl, glanced at her, and said, "What, you're here?"

He clearly remembered that just a few days ago, Tsubone had been sent by Silva to serve Roy, filling the vacancy left by Gotoh's slumber. No one should have sent her to deliver meals to him and Netero.

"Young Master said he's not hungry, he'll eat later."

Zeno raised an eyebrow. This wasn't like Roy's style... He could forget anything, but he never forgot to eat. Without making a sound, he summoned [Circle]... and quietly moved towards Roy's bedroom.

"Buzz~"

A transparent "Nen Barrier" swept past Netero, enveloping him as well, causing him to pause slightly. He glanced at Zeno, and without a word, his psychic power surged, following Zeno's lead, and he summoned [Circle] to see what he was up to... Unexpectedly, a cold snort rang out!

Like Thunder thunderclap!

It bounced back directly from his, and Zeno's, [circle] that was spreading toward Roy's bedroom!

Both of their eyes twitched simultaneously, followed by an angry shout, "Can't even stop you from being oblivious while eating!"

"Don't look at things you shouldn't be looking at!"

"That's my precious grandson, not your Beyond!"

It's Grandpa/Old Man!

[Circle] Forced back... Netero and Zeno exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Maha's words were imbued with Nen Qi, sending chills down their spines. Though he said nothing, it was as if he had said everything... In just an instant, Zeno and Netero realized—

Something must have happened to Roy!

Zeno put away the [circle], then looked at Tsubone again, squinting as he asked, "What was Roy food?"

Tsubone, with her two pink ponytails hanging down her back, peeked into the dimly lit room and said truthfully, "I didn't see anything either. At the time... I only remember that the Young Master was in the bathroom."

Bathroom?!!!

Zeno's expression suddenly changed, and he fell silent instantly.

Noticing this, Netero feigned nonchalance and said, "Perhaps the child has an upset stomach."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeno glared at him with a strange look, leaving Netero completely bewildered.

"Heh heh, it seems I misspoke,"

"Not entirely wrong," Zeno, giving Roy's bedroom a long, drawn-out look. "Expelling impurities and welcoming new life—who can say that evolution isn't like having diarrhea?"

"Buzz..." Suddenly, a pillar of Blood Qi shot into the sky, abruptly blooming between heaven and earth...

[Condensation] appeared, Netero's expression changed, and he abruptly pushed back his chair and stood up!

This Strongest Human, with his old eyes, weathered by time, flashed with a sharp light, his gaze like a sword, piercing straight through the thick walls to Roy's bedroom, the center of the "Blood Qi pillar," and... the starting point of its bloom!

[Detection: Current "Life Energy" surplus 287 points... "Power of Faith" surplus 508 points...]

[Clear?]

In Roy's bedroom on the first floor of the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle, after making an appointment with Silva for tomorrow, Roy didn't wait a moment longer and went straight into the bathroom.

The Sun-Earring Boy had beautiful silver hair, the ends of which shimmered with a golden light. Under the showerhead, the water flowed gently, cascading wetly down his back. He opened the control panel, received a notification, glanced at it briefly, and immediately began allocating points. This time was different. Roy had learned from his previous rash decision and slowly reminded himself, "No rush, one step at a time."

O

He divided the total 795 points of "Life Energy" with "Power of Faith" into four waves of 200 points each, adding to each wave as he went along, and so...

As the Sun-Earring Boy endured the pain of adding points, one after another, beams of Blood Qi burst forth in the sky above the Ancient Castle, precisely at the right moment.

[Hint: "Life Energy" -200... [Constitution] +200...]

[Hint: "Power of Faith" -200... [Constitution] +200...]

[Hint: "Power of Faith" -200... [Constitution] +200...]

[hint...

"Buzz..."

"Buzz."

"Buzz."

One problem after another arose. Feeling he could handle it, Roy continued... He was so engrossed in observing his physical condition that he listened to the continuous ringing of the control panel notifications... He suddenly forgot that there were guests at home!

One, two, three... pillars of Blood Qi light burst forth every now and then...

Others didn't notice, but people like Luca, the butler and maid from the Zoldyck family, only felt that the wind was a bit strong today, coming in gusts, which was quite refreshing...

Little did anyone know, decades after Jager's death, Netero, who had finally managed to visit the Zoldyck, looked solemn. A barely perceptible, frantic twitch at the corner of his eye as he inhaled the scent of the Blood Qi aura and stared intently into Roy's bedroom. Finally, after the fourth "Blood Qi aura" erupted, and before the fifth appeared, the Hunter Association president, the superior of Hunter worldwide, and unanimously recognized by both the government and the public as "Strongest Human," quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced sideways at Zeno, slightly raised his chin, and gestured towards Roy's bedroom, saying, "Is this how he usually trains?"

Zeno: "6

A moment of silence fell.
