Chapter 31

The Sky Arena, a magnificent building located within the territory of the Republic of Baltochia, stands at 991 meters tall with a total of 251 floors.

According to official statements, this is a paradise for combat enthusiasts worldwide and a place where various martial artists and Nen users can make a name for themselves.

As long as one has a certain level of strength, they can earn a living by fighting in the Sky Arena while continuously honing their skills and power through constant battles, naturally attracting countless individuals confident in their abilities.

Seeing the bustling scene at the entrance, Allen couldn't help but smile and exclaim, "I should say, it's no wonder it's called the Sky Arena, with so many people just at the registration area."

"Ha ha ha! Don't be fooled by the crowd; most of them are just here for the excitement. Over 90% of them will never reach the 50th floor in their lifetime," Bodoro explained with a hearty laugh.

From his current display of cheerfulness and confidence, it was clear that he had already mastered Nen and was diligently training the four basic techniques.

"Have you been here before?" Allen asked curiously.

Bodoro nodded nostalgically, "Yes! I came a few times when I was young, and my best performance was reaching the 160th floor. But now, I have the confidence to reach the 200th floor in one go."

"Don't be overconfident! In the world of Nen, besides strength, combat wisdom and ability are also crucial. It's a big no-no to underestimate your opponent before understanding their capabilities. Moreover, you've only mastered the four basics; you still have a long way to go to become a true expert," Allen took the opportunity to give this martial artist a crash course on the key points of Nen combat.

Even without conducting the Water Divination test, he could tell that the other person was undoubtedly a straightforward Enhancer, and the most common mistakes Enhancers make are carelessness and overconfidence.

Flipping through the entire *Hunter x Hunter* anime, characters like Worg, Hatsu, Gon, and Killua...

Almost all of them have made these mistakes more than once, and some have even paid with their lives.

"Understood! Please rest assured, I won't embarrass you," Bodoro bowed respectfully.

"No, it's not about embarrassing me. Sigh... never mind, do as you please," Allen's face showed a look of helplessness.

It was clear that this martial artist regarded him as his Nen teacher, and with the added gratitude for saving his life, he treated Allen with utmost respect.

Under the guidance of the experienced Bodoro, the two quickly completed their registration and officially began their journey in the Sky Arena.

Since they were both Nen users, ordinary participants were no match for them. They easily climbed to the 180th floor without breaking a sweat, earning a substantial amount of prize money in the process.

Just as Allen was jokingly commenting on their living expenses for the next few months, he suddenly saw his name on the announcement board. He handed his juice to Bodoro, "Hold this for a moment, I'll be right back."

"I believe with your strength, you can defeat your opponent in a second."

"That's not certain. We might run into another Nen user..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Allen saw a small figure in a white martial arts uniform step onto the stage.

It was none other than Zushi, who was practicing the Shin Source Style in the anime.

Looking up at the stands, he saw Kiyoshi, wearing glasses and looking serious, as expected.

"Hehe, what a pleasant surprise. Did you feel it? The aura that boy is emitting," Allen asked with a smile.

"Amazing! To start Nen training at such a young age?" Bodoro's voice carried a hint of envy.

If he had learned Nen when he was young, he wouldn't have wasted so much time in the Hunter Exam, and he might not have nearly been killed for no reason.

"I'm going to the match, we'll talk later."

With that, Allen leaped onto the stage, releasing his Nen under the watchful eyes of the audience, "Finally, a worthy opponent. I believe you feel the same, don't you?"

"Nen..."

Zushi was clearly taken aback.

"Exactly! Since we are both Nen users, let's fight without holding back and see the results of your training. Don't worry, I'll hold back," Allen instantly unleashed a powerful aura, almost blowing the referee off the stage.

So strong!

Zushi immediately recognized the vast gap between himself and his opponent and immediately looked to Kiyoshi in the stands.

Upon realizing Allen's overwhelming strength, Kiyoshi nodded, allowing his disciple to fight without restraint.

With permission, Zushi also released his aura and bowed respectfully, "Please go easy on me!"

"The match begins!"

At the referee's command, Zushi charged forward, his fists glowing with aura.

"Good spirit, but too slow."

Allen easily dodged to the side and tripped him with a leg sweep.

Poor Zushi fell to the ground but quickly got up thanks to the protection of his aura, continuing to swing his fists at the nearby opponent.

However, due to the significant difference in agility, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even touch Allen's clothes. In the end, he resorted to his ultimate move, concentrating all his aura into his fists to form "Hard," aiming to increase his destructive power and range to at least hit his opponent once.

However, due to the long preparation and charging time, he was knocked out by a single punch from Allen before he could complete his move, ending the one-sided match prematurely.

When he came down from the stage, he found that defeating Zushi had only given him less than 50 honor points, and his talent points remained at zero.

Clearly, in the PVP system, honor points are awarded based on the strength of the opponent; the stronger the opponent, the more honor points, and vice versa.

In contrast, talent points are only awarded when a certain strength threshold is reached, not just by fighting Nen users.

Understanding this, Allen muttered to himself, "I really need to hunt stronger opponents! I wonder if repeatedly fighting the same person will reduce honor points and if talent points will keep being awarded. If there's no reduction and I can keep getting talent points, maybe Zeno could become an endless gold mine..."

Fortunately, knowing the plot inside out, he knew that the Phantom Troupe would soon put on a grand performance in Yorknew City. At that time, he could team up with Kalluto and Zeno to hunt the Troupe's members.

Especially the unique abilities of a few Troupe members, which he was very interested in.

Moreover, the Phantom Troupe members are all ruthless killers, so hunting them would come with no psychological burden and could also feed the ravenous Red Dragon.
