Chapter 73

"Phew—"

Moyou, exhausted from depleting his Nen, let out a long breath.

He closed his Jing points and went to the bathroom to rinse off.

After coming out of the bathroom, his latent Nen had recovered somewhat.

"Soul Resonance"

Moyou used the recovered Nen to materialize a shadow person.

"Mimicry."

With a mental command, Moyou struggled to transform the shadow person into Zisu's appearance, still in a Picasso-like style that could barely be recognized.

The efficiency of mimicking someone else's appearance was very slow and the process was difficult.

He wondered if this phenomenon would improve when the "Fa" level increased.

If not, he would have to start from "Conditioning and Covenant."

"Thump thump thump…"

Moyou began his daily routine of beating up Zisu.

After ten minutes, Moyou stopped, deactivated his ability, and then lay on the bed, taking out his phone to call Qiduo, but the call was hung up before it was answered.

Moyou put down his phone, guessing that Qiduo might be in a place where it was inconvenient to take the call, so he didn't call again.

Putting the phone aside, Moyou closed his eyes and, in the state of "Jue," sensed the subtle changes within his body.

A few minutes later.

The phone rang.

Moyou opened his eyes, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.

"Qiduo, it's me."

Considering that Qiduo might not know this number, Moyou spoke first.

"I know."

Qiduo's voice came from the phone: "Liz said you went to Schwadani City."

"Uh-huh."

Moyou responded, then directly asked the question he was most concerned about: "Qiduo, has there been any progress with the Nen removal?"

"…"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

This reaction seemed to give an answer in advance.

"It's not looking good."

After about three seconds, Qiduo's sigh reached Moyou's ears.

"The Sahel Tar Commonwealth officially commissioned the Hunter Association and is willing to bear all costs. President Netero then issued a recruitment notice to the public on behalf of the Hunter Association, offering no expense spared. The results were good, and three highly skilled Nen removal specialists were quickly recruited, but…"

Her tone was heavy: "All three Nen removal specialists who were invited indicated that the 'Nen removal risk' was too high, and they were even unwilling to attempt the first round of removal."

"How can this be?"

Moyou found it hard to believe.

Nen removal specialists who could pass the Hunter Association's recruitment standards should all be top-notch, right?

Yet, just facing the "Nen space" left by Yelena, they were defeated before the battle even began?

Three Nen removal specialists…

Working together, they could share the Nen removal risk, yet they still thought it was too high?

This made Moyou, who had personally touched the "Nen space," doubt the level of those three Nen removal specialists.

Qiduo, as if seeing Moyou's reaction, explained: "Those three Nen removal specialists can sense the scales in the Nen space. They believe the greatest threat comes from the scales, and they made their judgment based on this."

"…"

Hearing Qiduo's explanation, Moyou finally understood.

If that was the case, it made sense.

Those scales…

He had seen them with his own eyes, and their grudge was terrifying.

At that time, he even felt that the Nen removal opportunity given by "Perception" couldn't solve the scales.

In comparison, the Nen space left by Yelena, while strong, was less terrifying due to its passive nature compared to the active attack of the scales.

"Qiduo, what does the Hunter Association plan to do next?"

"For now, the 'Nen space' will be classified as a demonic domain and controlled according to relevant regulations. They will continue to recruit Nen removal specialists to reduce the 'Nen removal risk' to a level they are willing to bear."

Qiduo answered.

To reduce the Nen removal risk, they could only recruit more Nen removal specialists.

Otherwise, the Nen removal specialists wouldn't even take the first step.

However, she could understand, as the profession of Nen removal specialists was primarily about "assessing risks."

To resolve this issue, President Netero even initiated a meeting of the Twelve Earthly Branches, scheduled for noon three days later.

The reason for such a serious approach was—

The "Nen space" and the scales, as "posthumous Nen," were suspected to have extremely rare growth capabilities.

This was the most challenging part.

"Moyou, I'll probably be in Schwadani City the day after tomorrow. Before this matter is resolved, I can't see you, so I hope you can return to Liz as soon as possible. I'll feel more at ease knowing she's taking care of you."

"I'll consider it."

Moyou didn't directly agree to Qiduo's arrangement.

Qiduo also saw through Moyou's thoughts and ultimately didn't say anything more, only assuring Moyou that the Hunter Association would handle the matter properly before ending the call.

In the hotel room.

Moyou tossed his phone aside and stared at the ceiling.

He roughly understood why the Nen removal specialists were unwilling to act.

Given the nature of their abilities, it was understandable.

No wonder there were so few Nen removal specialists in this world.

This also highlighted how precious the Nen removal opportunity given by "Perception" was.

"Nen removal opportunity…"

Moyou muttered to himself in a barely audible voice.

If he couldn't rely on the Hunter Association, he could only depend on the Nen removal opportunity given by "Perception."

The question was—

How could he accurately obtain the Nen removal opportunity from "Perception?"

Continuous battles?

If he could clear the Sky Arena, would he get one?

Or perhaps an all-out, life-or-death battle with one of the standout characters from the original story?

Like a fight with Bisuke…

At this thought, Moyou suddenly imagined a certain Barbie doll pinning him down and beating him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

"Calm down, calm down…"

Moyou took a deep breath, shaking off the inappropriate images in his mind.

"Anyway, for now, I'll focus on solidifying my Nen techniques under the buff of cultivation. It would be perfect if I could convince Bisuke to lend me Miss Cookie for a month."

Knowing that the Nen removal opportunity couldn't be rushed, Moyou understood what he should do next.

To be able to clear the Sky Arena without revealing his abilities in the future, it was crucial to have a high level of proficiency in the four major Nen techniques and advanced applications.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Moyou sensed something and sat up to look at the door.

A pink thread of Nen slipped through the door crack and quickly materialized into Miss Cookie.

Then, the newly appeared Miss Cookie opened the door, allowing Bisuke, who was holding a men's magazine, to enter.

"Bisuke, you could have knocked or called me."

Moyou casually pulled the blanket from the side to cover his lower body.

He had only worn an underwear after his shower.

(Stare_stare)

Bisuke's eyes were fixed on Moyou on the bed.

Then,

The auntie put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "It's more exciting to sneak in!"

"…"
