Chapter 37

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, Jidou's entire skeleton was effortlessly crushed by the golden hand, and the broken ribs pierced directly into his heart.

【All conditions met】

【Activate Nen ability—Life's Plunder】

"Red Dragon! Devour him!"

Without hesitation, Allen activated the Nen beast's ability, transforming Jidou's body into a cocoon and swallowing it whole.

At the same time, the increasingly massive and authoritative figure of the Red Dragon reappeared in everyone's line of sight.

The closest referee, who was nearest to the scene, was so frightened that he subconsciously held his breath and retreated, fearing he might also be turned into a cocoon and swallowed.

However, his worry was clearly unnecessary. As an ordinary person with neither Nen nor exaggerated physical attributes, the Red Dragon had no interest in such trash "food."

After a short while, the Red Dragon disappeared, satisfied.

"Winner—Allen!"

"An unbelievable display of overwhelming power!"

"Congratulations to contestant Allen for once again defeating his opponent!"

"Based on his current record, he has achieved two consecutive victories on the 200th floor and has not lost a single match yet."

"How long will this invincible winning streak continue? Let's wait and see!"

...

With the commentator's enthusiastic voice, the audience in the stands once again erupted.

Especially those who were enthusiastic about scenes of blood and death were absolutely thrilled by the terrifying sight of bones being crushed in an instant and were even more eager for tomorrow's matches.

Clearly, although the Sky Arena has a points-based knockout system, for true combat enthusiasts, a match ending in death is far more exciting and exhilarating.

The rewards were the same as yesterday: 8,000 honor points and one talent point.

So far, Allen has gained an additional four talent points, which he used to max out the "Dispersal Shot" and "Barrage" in his shooting talent.

With this, he only needs seven more matches to unlock "Power Aura."

Of course, the prerequisite is that these seven Nen users must meet the minimum criteria set by the PVP system.

In addition, his rank has been promoted from Sergeant to Master Sergeant, allowing him to purchase the lowest-level battlefield equipment such as necklaces and capes in the store interface.

Looking at the Red Dragon, which was maintaining its invisible state, Allen sighed regretfully, "Unfortunately, there's only one more match left. I wonder how many 200th-floor fighters will still be willing to compete with me after seeing my abilities."

Just as he was about to leave through the contestant tunnel, he suddenly noticed Rikaimaru waiting for him.

"Your true ability is to steal others' Nen, right?" Rikaimaru looked up and asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, that's correct. You should have realized this when you saw the large hand formed by aura," Allen replied without hesitation.

"Stealing others' abilities and then further developing them for yourself, you're truly a terrifying kid. In just one day, you managed to strengthen Kuroso's invisible left arm to such a degree." Rikaimaru's tone revealed unmasked envy, jealousy, and fear.

He couldn't help but be afraid!

Because he was very clear that he was about to face an opponent he could not defeat on the arena.

As for the option of fleeing, it had been ruled out long ago after he learned he would lose his Nen ability.

In a sense, Rikaimaru was very similar to Jidou. Both had lost the ability to move their legs during the Nen baptism on the 200th floor and could only move in a specially designed wheelchair using aura.

If he lost his Nen ability, he would just be an ordinary disabled person, unable to endure or adapt to the miserable life ahead, let alone face the revenge of the newbies he had once eliminated with underhanded methods.

Seeing the intense negative emotions in the other's eyes, Allen shrugged indifferently, "Can I take your words as a compliment? Also, do you need me to give you some pointers on further developing your ability?"

"Point me?!"

Rikaimaru was clearly taken aback, seemingly unable to believe what he had just heard.

After all, in this world, the vast majority of people would do anything to weaken their enemies, and he had never encountered anyone willing to help their enemies become stronger.

"Yes! You are too weak, so weak that I can barely muster any interest. And after tomorrow's match, your ability will become my ability. Developing your ability now is like developing a new ability for myself." Allen explained with deep meaning.

In his eyes, the man in the wheelchair was the weakest among the three, but also the one with the highest potential for development.

As a Conjurer, Rikaimaru, possibly due to his past experiences, had always been afraid of being attacked by other Nen users. Therefore, he developed a jet engine-like ability, using aura to accelerate his movement.

This was fundamentally different from other Conjurers who preferred to condense aura into Nen bullets of various sizes to attack their opponents.

But was the ability he developed really weak?

No!

On the contrary!

This ability was extremely powerful, even beyond the understanding of most people in this world.

Imagine if this ability were developed to its极限, combined with a defensive technique to protect the body, and used to achieve supersonic speed through jet propulsion, allowing for sudden stops, direction changes, and other high-speed maneuvers in mid-air. What kind of scene would that be?

Probably, except for top-tier experts like President Netero, who can enhance their attack speed to the extreme using Nen, most people wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of his clothes.

Moreover, according to the laws of physics, speed is power.

When a person moves faster than the speed of sound, even a light toss of a pebble can generate the destructive force of a bullet, offering many possibilities for offensive strategies.

"Hmph! You are truly confident! Aren't you afraid I might defeat you after gaining powerful strength?" Rikaimaru's eyes flashed with complex emotions.

"No! Of course not! I'm more worried that you are too weak to be worth hunting. What do you say, will you accept my offer?" Allen extended his right hand.

"Why not? I will use the new ability you develop to defeat you on the arena tomorrow!" Rikaimaru clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in response.

"Ha ha, I hope you can make good on your words. Let's go, now let's find a quiet and secluded place. I have some excellent ideas for your ability."

With that, Allen took Rikaimaru away from the Sky Arena, took a taxi to a deserted area in the suburbs, and began a day of intensive training and ability development.
