Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 151 Redevelopment of the Divine Tree

"The choice is now yours."

Lucky stepped back a little to allow the Patch tribesmen to explain.

There's no need for too many people to know about the relationship between the sacred tree and him.

The main focus is on explaining the "war markings" of the Patch tribe.

Because there have been quite a few "God" characters appearing in the Sky Arena, most people have gained some understanding of the creations associated with the "God" character.

They were also relatively quick to understand the issue of "battle runes".

When they learned that Nen could be "borrowed," the several Nen masters were clearly surprised.

Charlier went so far as to ask, "Can this Nen be borrowed indefinitely?"

This can be described as a direct way to improve a person's abilities.

He may not be very good at using the flow of energy, but when he has a large amount of energy, he can easily produce miraculous results.

"Of course not. The effect provided by this contract battle rune is related to the Basen Challenge you passed," the high priest explained.

Soon, other martial arts practitioners inquired about the matter.

The main question was whether it had any negative effects, and of course, there was also concern about whether it was some kind of "operation system" power.

To achieve the goal of being able to manipulate them.

After all, one should always be wary of others.

Aside from having to repay the debt, there were no other demands. Of course, even if there were, Lucci wouldn't reveal them, since even the Patch tribe didn't know.

"Whether or not to draw up a contract is up to you."

This is not mandatory.

But in the end, all those who qualified for the contract chose to make a contract with the divine tree.

A contractual "tattoo" can be formed on various parts of the body.

The moment the contract was signed, everyone felt a warmth from the "tattoo," and at least no one sensed any danger.

Some people have even started experimenting with borrowing energy.

They were very excited when they could control the alien's Nen energy as if it were their own arm.

The martial artists in the Sky Arena were especially excited, as this should improve their win rate.

They also attach great importance to this Basen challenge.

In addition to the ability to form contracts, one can also acquire other abilities beyond one's own cultivation.

This is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Some of the more astute individuals quickly drew parallels to the numerous divine artifacts found in the Sky Arena, suggesting that the Patch tribe and the Basen Rainforest were in a similar situation.

So there must be a relationship between the two!

Is everything related to Boss Lucci?

"I'll leave Bisky and the others to you for now. I need to stay here for a while." This was mainly to discuss the Basen Challenge with the Patch tribe.

"Understood!" She was also an examiner, and the next step was to take them back to the Sky Arena.

The final match was also held at the Sky Arena.

I just don't know what kind of exam the old man will use.

Meanwhile, Netero was traveling to the Sky Arena aboard the Hunter Association's airship.

Patch Village.

Lucci is asking the Patch tribe how they feel about the Basen challenge.

Previously, he had always faced the Conrad family, which wasn't too difficult, and he had faced relatively few people.

This time, there are quite a lot of challengers.

The Pachi people also shared their experiences.

Firstly, I felt that their challenge was not too difficult.

The main challengers are either martial artists from the 200th floor or the best candidates in the Hunter Exam.

The environment of the Basen rainforest did not have a significant impact on them.

It could be said that the dangers of the Basen rainforest were not enough for these people.

Aside from that, the challenge of just fighting is a bit too simplistic.

Some members of the Patch tribe suggested that alternative methods could be used for the trials.

To put it simply, it's about refining the process of the Basen Challenge, though it's not that simple.

Lucci thought about each problem carefully.

"Since the Basen Challenge is going to continue, how about we leave the selection of participants to you?"

Lucci simply borrowed a competition from a certain anime and let them choose for themselves.

However, the selection of personnel was limited to the city of Kerry.

It can be an ordinary person or a martial artist; it is not necessarily limited to players in the Sky Arena.

It gives everyone a chance, but of course, if an ordinary person were to participate in the Basen Challenge, the difficulty would be extremely high.

This is also the idea behind enabling the Pachi people to go out into the world.

Lucci was like a hands-off manager, leaving many things to the Patch tribe.

After some processing of the Basen Challenge.

Lucci, on the other hand, stayed under the sacred tree, quietly sensing its power.

Although the two are connected, they do not necessarily have to be placed side by side.

But Lucci wanted to try and see if this "divine tree" could give birth to other abilities.

With a new batch of contractors joining, Lucci is also sensing their presence.

The divine tree has accumulated a great deal of spiritual energy.

It feels a bit wasteful to simply store this power away without using it for anything.

Want to give it a try?

Lucci calls for Phoenix to come back.

Phoenix landed on the sacred tree.

Meanwhile, Lucci sat cross-legged in Phoenix's lair.

Unfortunately, although Phoenix has an independent consciousness, it is still a creation of psychic energy and not a true magical creature; otherwise, its fur would be a very rare material.

Lucci activated the Nen of the Divine Tree, causing it to "grow," not in its own way, but to bear fruit.

What kind of difference will the fruit of a tree that has awakened to thought be?

Acorns nurtured by using spiritual energy as nourishment.

The whole tree started to glow.

Green light.

This application seems to have a purpose of enhancing growth.

Soon the tree was covered with thirty-six acorns.

"Is it influenced by my consciousness?" The number thirty-six was what Lucci was thinking. When he was thinking about numbers, he would naturally think of certain numbers, such as thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight, etc.

The acorns that Lucci forcibly grew were not quite the same as the acorns that the oak tree of the Oasis of God had given him.

It does not possess any magical power.

Lucky picked it and tasted it.

The taste is very good, but its specific value still needs further research.

This experiment made Lucci think of a possibility.

This oak tree also resembles one of the five great spirits.

Can I also develop "capabilities" based on this?

Or perhaps it could be cultivated into something similar to a "spiritual root".

When Lucci thought of "spiritual roots," the first thing that came to mind was the World Tree that appeared in the anime, which seemed to be a malnourished World Tree.

But in Lucci's opinion, its scale was even more magnificent than the Divine Tree in Naruto.

The power of thought can create and alter living beings.

That seems to be feasible.

Lucci then thought of the Chimera Ant arc, as well as some other depictions in the anime.

In the Hunter world, "souls" exist, and even reincarnation is possible.

With this in mind, Lucci had a glimpse into how to develop the Divine Tree.

Despite the fantastical nature of it, he couldn't resist giving it a try.
