Chapter 47

With the guidance match thoroughly concluded, Xiao Jie and Boddoro both realized their own shortcomings.

In the days that followed, in addition to their daily basic training, they also began to try to develop new abilities in their respective directions.

As the saying goes, competition fosters progress!

When two single-minded enhancers come together, it's inevitable that some sparks will fly, and even some overt and covert rivalries will arise.

In contrast, Killua, under Allen's guidance, learned to convert his aura into electricity ahead of time.

Although the current power is only enough to deal with unprepared ordinary people, as time goes by and he gains a deeper understanding of electricity, he will surely become more and more powerful, and more and more terrifying.

Similarly, Allen also drew a lot of inspiration from this process, being able to manipulate the three different forms of water to a limited extent, and in conjunction with the blue alchemy stone's control over airflow, simulate the phenomenon of cloud discharge at extremely low altitudes.

The only drawback is that he currently cannot make the lightning attack specific targets according to his will.

Especially when large-scale low-altitude clouds are created, it basically becomes a full-area, indiscriminate thunderstorm strike, even the elite minions in the caves leading to the first and second bosses in the Molten Heart can't last a few seconds before quickly turning into a pile of charred corpses.

After the two-month special training ended, everyone had made tremendous progress.

Just by looking at the solid and round Nen wrappings on Xiao Jie and Killua, anyone could tell that they are now much stronger than they were at this point in the anime.

Realizing this, Allen immediately said, "That's it! From today on, you two are considered to have completed your apprenticeship."

"Huh? Completed our apprenticeship?" Xiao Jie blinked in confusion.

"Yes! Completed your apprenticeship. Now you have mastered the four basic Nen techniques and the four advanced application techniques: Ten, Zou, Ko, and Ken. The remaining techniques, Ryu, In, and En, are just a matter of time. Although it's still a long way to mastery, with persistent practice, you will always improve. From now on, the rest of your training is up to you." Allen explained straightforwardly.

"Does that mean you're leaving?"

Killua, clearly much smarter than Xiao Jie, immediately realized what was about to happen.

Allen nodded helplessly, "Yes! Haven't you noticed? I haven't received a single battle request for two whole months. So instead of wasting time here, I might as well go out into the world and find some more interesting things to do."

Calculating the time, he had been in the Sky Arena for almost three months, devouring nineteen eggs, acquiring nineteen different Nen abilities, and gaining nineteen talent points, as well as the rank of "Knight." It could be said that he had a bountiful harvest.

Especially the nineteen talent points, which not only unlocked the ultimate talent of shooting, the Strong Impact Halo, but also allowed him to invest some in survival talents, starting to develop into a true all-around Hunter.

"What about us?" Xiao Jie pointed to his nose and asked.

"You can continue to stay here and fight other fighters on the 200th floor, or you can leave like us and seek new goals. Hunters, in reality, are a special group who will do anything to obtain the treasures they desire, which can be wealth, knowledge, power, gourmet food, rare plants and animals, ancient relics, or anything else." Allen said without reservation, explaining his understanding of Hunters.

"Killua, what do you think?"

Xiao Jie clearly understood the meaning of these words and immediately turned his gaze to his friend.

Killua rubbed his chin, pretending to think for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh and answer, "Idiot! Of course we're staying! Would you be willing to leave like this? We have to fight those fighters a few times first!"

"Hehe! Agreed! Let's settle it like that!"

With that, Xiao Jie turned around and bowed deeply to Allen and Boddoro, "Thank you very much for your guidance over the past two months!"

"There's no need to be so formal, don't forget that you two owe me a favor."

Allen replied meaningfully, then stood up and pushed the door open, intending to take the elevator and leave the Sky Arena.

But just as he pushed the door open, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in the corridor, staring at him with a crazed, bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.

"Chrollo?!"

"Hehe, long time no see. You've been making quite a stir recently." Chrollo licked his lips excitedly and greeted him.

"Indeed, long time no see. It seems your Nen ability has recovered." Allen stopped and sized up the clearly unstable madman.

It had to be said that compared to the last battle, this guy's aura had increased by at least twenty percent.

"Thanks to you, I did some small special training during this time. How about a match on the 200th floor? As a reward, I can tell you an interesting piece of news." Chrollo proposed the battle with a sly smile.

"Here? Now?"

Allen was slightly surprised by this request.

"Yep! And I suggest you don't leave the Sky Arena for now, or something terrible will happen. Am I right?"

As he spoke, Chrollo immediately turned to look at the darkest part of the corridor.

The next second...

Illumi, dressed in a black bodysuit and wearing a sun hat, walked out and echoed in a completely emotionless tone, "He's right! You're already being targeted. If you leave the Sky Arena now, there's a high chance you'll be ambushed."

"Ambushed? By who? Why?"

Allen narrowed his eyes, and a chilling aura began to emanate from his body.

"Sorry, I can't say yet. You should discuss this with Chrollo. I'm just here to do my job." Illumi walked straight to his "best friend" and leaned against the wall.

Chrollo, meanwhile, fiddled with the cards in his hand and said with a smirk, "If you agree to fight me, I'll tell you everything and stand by your side with Illumi. How about it, a pretty good deal, right?"

Allen thought for a moment and immediately nodded, "Alright! But I have one additional request."

"Oh? What request?"

Chrollo suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly flashing with a terrifying light, almost unable to contain his extreme excitement and agitation.

"Regarding this matter, I hope to discuss it with you privately after the battle. For now, let's submit the battle request. If you don't mind, how about setting it for tomorrow?"

Allen clearly didn't want to waste too much time on this meaningless haggling.

Because he could sense that Chrollo clearly knew something, which was why he was waiting for him here.

This meant that if he didn't satisfy this guy's fervent desire for battle, he wouldn't be able to find out who was targeting him and what they had prepared.

Of course, Allen himself was not averse to fighting Chrollo, whether to gain combat experience or to test whether he could repeatedly farm enough honor points and talent points from one person.
