Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 192 The Unremarkable Illumi

Silva listened to Illumi's story.

Given his personality, he didn't even know what to say for a moment.

Should we blame our son for not working hard enough? Or for not having talent?

Do not?

The people here are completely different from people in other places.

In Kerry City, even those with low talent can surpass many others as long as they put in the effort and have money to help them cultivate.

Nowadays, very few truly unorthodox players can reach the higher levels of the Sky Arena.

Silva doesn't know much about the current level of fighting in the Heaven's Arena, but he can get a lot from the other fighters and Nen users he's met these past few days.

The martial spirit here is stronger than anywhere else in the world.

It's truly unbelievable that this place can still maintain stability.

The saying "a knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law" is not just a saying. Because of a quarrel, and because one has the ability to fight, it is easy to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

But in Kerry, it was completely restricted.

It also benefits from Kerry's formidable law enforcement.

The city of Kree is now a country within a country, which the Republic of Batocia can no longer govern, and the Sky Arena has become its controller.

Of course, Lucci didn't do much himself, but rather delegated some of the responsibilities to certain martial arts schools.

Besides responsibility, there are also related interests.

Lucci doesn't mind making these martial arts styles even stronger.

It's safe to say that even if Gon and Killua from the anime came to Heaven's Arena now, it would be completely impossible for them to easily climb to the 200th floor.

They might even struggle to reach level 100, just like Illumi.

The difficulty level is on a completely different level.

Silva thought that it seemed Illumi's training and practice in the Heaven's Arena would take longer.

It's even possible to awaken one's consciousness without needing to reach 200 levels.

With the Heaven's Arena restricting players from killing each other, some independent players have begun to try to learn Nen by fighting Nen users and opening their own pores.

Of course, unless the difference in strength is not significant, most Nen users can defeat their opponents without using Nen.

It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to learn to read using this method.

He offered a few words of encouragement.

Illumi nodded, "I know... I'm hungry~"

Suddenly, Illumi frowned; he felt a burning pain on the back of his hand.

He raised his hand to take a look.

A red mark appeared on the back of his right hand, and Silva naturally noticed Illumi's expression and the change in the back of his hand.

Silva knew what this was.

Although I had heard before that the selection of adventurers was random and only applied to ordinary people, I never thought I would actually witness this scene.

I quickly unfolded the circle to sense it, but found nothing unusual. It was as if it had truly appeared out of thin air.

"Father?" Illumi had no idea what that meant.

"It seems you've added another task to your training." Silva grasped Illumi's hand and released his Nen onto it.

Experience this mark up close.

In his perception, this mark did not possess Nen; it was like a tattoo, or perhaps a part of Illumi's body.

In other words, Silva doesn't know how to remove Nen, otherwise he would have tried it on the spot.

"Father, what is this? Is it some kind of Nen ability?" Illumi asked.

"Didn't we see this on the vehicle we came in? This is the mark of an adventurer; you've been chosen to become an adventurer."

Silva's first thought was whether there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

That OP, Lu Qi, is becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Upon hearing Silva's words, Illumi thought to himself, "Does that mean I can also enter that dungeon and go on an adventure?"

In Kerry City right now, adventurers are an extremely popular profession.

That's what he was thinking, but he asked Silva Zoldyck for his opinion.

"Father, what should we do? Is this mark dangerous?"

Silva recalled his first meeting with Lucci, which was also because of a mark.

"Don't worry, if the owner behind this mark really wants to do something, it's unlikely anyone can resist."

Compared to his pure combat abilities, what Silva found most troublesome and terrifying about Lucci was his various strange and bizarre abilities.

And each of them has been developed to be very strong by Lucci.

And Silba has mentioned it three or four times already.

Because the target's bodyguards were from Kerry City, and there were even people who challenged him through Basen.

This resulted in Silva having to put in a lot of effort to complete the commission, and there was even a time when things almost went wrong.

The power of the contract can suddenly erupt, and even if it cannot be sustained, it can still unleash extremely terrifying power.

The Zoldyck family is now starting to place greater emphasis on intelligence gathering.

When completing a mission assignment, it is essential to gather information from all aspects, with the most crucial element being the "contract."

"Then, Father, I..."

"If you have the chance, you can also explore the secret realm, which will also help your cultivation." Silva understood Illumi's thoughts.

I think this is not bad. As assassins, they face more human "enemies," but there are also special circumstances.

Gaining some experience fighting other creatures is also a good thing.

After discovering Illumi's situation.

The next day, Silva watched his match in person. Illumi won, but it took a lot of time and effort, and he even became tired.

His opponent was a sixteen-year-old boy from a martial arts gym.

If it weren't for the ten-point system, Illumi might have even lost if the fight had continued.

Because the contestants at the bottom level of the Sky Arena are all quite strong, nowadays, only one match can be scheduled per day for those who have risen from the first level.

No more arrangements will be made.

Give athletes more time to prepare.

Silva then showed Illumi several battles below floor 100.

It can be said that the level of combat increases dramatically from the 50th floor onwards, and sometimes you can even see some of the most spectacular battles that you would only see on the 150th floor or above.

Over the past two decades, the changes have been enormous for the new generation of various martial arts styles.

Unlike the ascetic practices of the past, the current cultivation is more scientific, and involves many aspects such as secret formulas, gravity chambers, and auxiliary massage and mental abilities.

There are far more child prodigies now than twenty years ago; it's fair to say that anyone carefully nurtured by a martial arts dojo can be called a child prodigy.

While Illumi might stand out among this group of people of the same age, if they were a few years older, he would only be considered below average.

The Zoldyck family has actually been somewhat overshadowed.

This terrified Silva.
