Chapter 44

"Too... too strong! Is this the level of battle between floor masters?"

Looking at the arena that had been almost completely destroyed, Jixi stood up excitedly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Especially when Valensa swallowed four alchemy stones at once and instantly transformed into an elemental giant, displaying terrifying destructive power, and when Allen effortlessly defeated him with a casual move, it made Jixi have a whole new understanding of Nen abilities.

It turned out that Nen could be so powerful, even surpassing human limits, transforming the user into a completely different form of life.

Yungu, sitting beside him, no longer had his usual smiling face but instead looked unusually serious. He said in a very low voice, "Valensa, a descendant of an ancient alchemist family, is a Nen user with the ability to control the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. He is definitely one of the strongest floor masters. However, what's truly terrifying is the transformation ability Allen used in this battle..."

"Master! What is Allen's true ability?" Jixi asked curiously.

"From the battle, he first converted water into hot steam, then the hot steam into ice, and finally the ice back into water. It seems to be related to controlling water molecules. However, the large mass of light blue liquid he created out of nowhere is clearly not just water, as ordinary water cannot be that cold. So I can't make a definitive judgment yet. But one thing is certain: his ability is almost impossible to defend against." Yungu squinted his eyes and analyzed seriously.

"Impossible to defend against?" Jixi looked puzzled.

At not even twelve years old, he had never heard of terms like "humidity" or "moisture content."

Yungu, clearly aware of this, pushed up his glasses and explained calmly, "Jixi, have you ever noticed that when you're near the sea, a lake, or early in the morning before the sun rises, the air feels particularly humid when you breathe?

And when you're near dry areas or deserts, the air feels especially dry when you breathe.

This is because the air we breathe every day actually contains a large amount of water molecules.

Imagine if Allen's ability really is to control water molecules, then he would be controlling your breathing.

He could instantly turn the moisture in the air you breathe into your lungs, trachea, nose, and mouth into scalding hot steam or ice below zero degrees.

These delicate internal organs cannot withstand such drastic temperature changes, leading to frostbite and necrosis.

The alveoli in the lungs, which exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, would be severely damaged, leading to slow suffocation and death if a large number of them are damaged."

After hearing this, Jixi's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice, "So unless someone can breathe without air and squeeze all the air out of their lungs, they have no chance against Allen at all."

"Exactly! Of course, if there were a Nen user who could quickly heal injuries, they might have a chance. In any case, his strength far exceeds that of a floor master. Let's go; I think the floor masters won't challenge him for a long time."

After saying this, Yungu ignored the ordinary spectators who were still shouting and cheering, stood up, and led his disciple to leave early.

No sooner had they left than Killua asked, "Gon, did you hear what they said?"

Gon nodded vigorously, "Yeah! I couldn't see it, but I could feel it. The power Allen used in the battle with the floor master must be Nen, right?"

"It seems that the reason Hisoka, Nii-san, and Allen are so strong is that they have mastered this power. What do you think we should do next? Should we find Allen or Jixi and his teacher Yungu?" Killua's eyes sparkled with impatience.

Having grown up under Illumi's shadow, he was more eager than anyone to gain the power to fight his older brother.

"Hmm—I think we should find Allen. After all, we are more familiar with him." Gon, relying on his animal-like intuition, thought for a moment and chose the former.

In his view, learning a power he knew nothing about naturally required finding someone familiar and strong enough.

"OK! Let's go find him."

Without another word, Killua found a shortcut to the entrance of the arena and, using their small stature, weaved through the crowd, quickly blocking Allen's path.

But just as they arrived, they suddenly felt a shocking wave of malice descending, instantly enveloping the entire entrance.

The next second...

A dozen or so people with various appearances slowly emerged from the darkness, surrounding Allen and Boddoro.

But instead of showing any signs of tension or panic, Allen couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Are you all willing to bet all your Nen and fight me? Respected floor masters! Whether on the arena or in the outside world, I will accompany you to the end."

"Brat! Don't you think you're being too overconfident?" one of them asked aggressively.

"Overconfident? No! I'm just stating the facts. In reality, your level is equivalent to B to A-class wanted criminals on the Hunter website, and your combat awareness and adaptability are far inferior to them. Here's a deal: to give you some confidence, I'll accept 1v2 battle requests starting today. How about it, want to give it a try?"

Unfortunately, these floor masters were not as brave or foolish as he imagined.

Not a single one dared to respond, and they ultimately retreated in disgrace.

Because they had seen a glimpse of Allen's Nen ability and had not yet figured out how to counter it. At this point, no matter how many of them went up, it would be like offering themselves as sacrifices.

Watching the floor masters' retreating backs, Boddoro finally couldn't help but mock, "These are the floor masters who stand above all fighters in the Sky Arena? They don't even have the courage to fight! I'm ashamed to be associated with them!"

Allen shook his head indifferently, "Don't be so harsh. Their choice is correct. In a sense, my level in Nen far exceeds theirs, both in terms of capacity and ability development. Perhaps it's time to leave this place and seek out some formidable targets in the wider world."

"Huh? Allen, you're leaving the Sky Arena?"

Gon immediately emerged from the corner upon hearing this.

Killua followed closely behind.

However, when he saw Boddoro, whom he had once killed, his face instantly showed embarrassment and shame. He tried to say something several times but couldn't bring himself to speak.
