A foreigner's journey

A week later.

Heather sat cross-legged on the huge stone, cupping her cheeks and watching Izanabi instructing Kurapika in [practice].

"Continue! Haven't you eaten? Speed ​​up!"

Izanabi folded his arms and shouted loudly:

"Mobile the [Qi] in your body as much as possible! Squeeze it! Squeeze it! With just this little [Qi], are you making me laugh?"

Kurapika stood by the stream with sweat on his forehead, closing his eyes and desperately squeezing the [Qi] in his body. In Heather's field of vision, the [Qi] covering Kurapika's body continued to grow, changing from a thin layer of slime to a burning flame.

Wow, Super Saiyan.

Heather secretly complained, the blond hair, the flames, it would be more like it if there were so many lightnings around her.

After a few minutes, Kurapika suddenly collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily and sweat dripping down.

Izanabi nodded: "The total amount of energy has increased a lot compared to the beginning. Rest for 10 minutes."

Kurapika no longer had the energy to respond, so he could only seize the time to regain his strength.

"Heather, it's your turn." Izenabi twisted his neck and made a muffled sound: "Let me see your [practice]."

Hey! Heather turned over and jumped off the big stone. She shook her hands and legs. After doing a few warm-up exercises, she put her hands into fists and placed them on her waist. She stood with her legs slightly spread apart and shouted loudly with her eyes focused:

"Ha! SUPER! SAIYA-JIN!!"

Violent and full Qi instantly spurted out from the fine holes all over his body. From a distance, it looked like a ball of fire composed of [Qi]!

"What the hell are you shouting for..." Izanabi subconsciously raised his arms to block him. This guy's [Qi] was really terrifying: "Stop it."

"Teacher, do you also think this form needs improvement?"

Heather had a sophisticated attitude full of craftsman spirit: "I think it must be paired with some lightning wrapping around the body, and some surging airflow... It would be best to add a 'swishing' sound!"

During the time that Izenabi was getting along with Heather, he had a little understanding of how to get along with Heather. He had to scratch his head and said, "I'll talk about what you said later. Heather, try to refine your Qi." Slow down the speed and transfer the breath to your eyes.”

"Is that so?"

Two balls of will-o'-the-wisp [Qi] condensed in Heather's eyes, and then he found the number [4] composed of Qi floating next to Izanabi.

"Did you see it? Read out what you saw."

"[4], is this the [Hidden] you mentioned before to hide your thoughts?"

"That's right."

The numbers next to Izanabi are constantly changing their shapes: "The technique you use to condense Qi in your eyes is called [Condensation]. This is the application technique of [Lian]. And correspondingly, [Hidden] is [Absolute] applied skills.”

Kurapika also took a breath at this time and fell into deep thought after hearing Izanabi's words. It seems that [Nian Ability] is indeed broad and profound, with various high-end application skills.

He tried to concentrate his energy on his eyes like Heather, but he immediately felt a great consumption and the energy was disappearing quickly! It only lasted for less than two seconds, and the energy that had finally been gathered collapsed and disintegrated.

Izanabi glanced at Kurapika, who was lying on the ground panting, and reassured: "Don't be impatient. The high-end skills of nen require hard training and practice to master."

He could see that his disciple was eager to successfully cultivate the ability of mind, but there was no shortcut on the path of cultivation. He could only move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Well, except for Heather.

Suddenly, Izanabi remembered something, clapped his hands and laughed: "Just in time, your [practice] is progressing well, I can test your [attributes]."

"……Attributes?"

The goblet filled with water rested quietly on the stone.

Kurapika and Heather stared at the cup for a while, then turned to look at Izanabi: "Stop being mysterious, how do you measure it?"

"Don't worry, don't worry...oh, this leaf is nice."

Izenabi placed a leaf on the water in the cup: "Heather, didn't you ask me at Old Jack before why I wanted to take the goblet? I can tell you now."

"First of all, Kurapika, I want to congratulate you. You passed the final assessment of the hunter test."

He looked at Kurapika, smiled and touched his stubble-covered chin: "I'm not surprised by your appearance. That's right, only by learning [Nian] can you become a real professional hunter. Those who can't do it will be killed." Cull and take back hunter licenses.”

"But the four major elements of [Nian] and the last one [Fa], you haven't taught us yet."

Kurapika frowned: "[Fa] is the most important part of [Reading], right?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Izenabi sat next to the stone and motioned for the two of them to sit down too:

"For you, [Fa] is not difficult to learn. After you learn [Fa], you have to study and practice on your own, blend your unique personality and creation together, and build your own [Thought]."

"The so-called [Fa] is a technique that can control Qi at will. It can be said to be the ultimate state of mind ability. Basically [Fa] can be divided into six major attributes."

"Nen ability is very closely related to each person's personality. One is the ability that one is born with, and the other is the ability that is cultivated and tempered in life. It is very simple to tell which category you belong to, and you can do it with [Mizumi Shiki] .Kurapika, come first, release your [practice] on this glass of water."

After hearing this, Kurapika walked to the stone, held the goblet in the air with both hands, and released his [ki].

Gradually, little stars started to shine in the cup.

Izanabi bent down and looked at the cup carefully, and slowly said: "Some impure objects of unknown origin appeared in the water. Kurapika, you are [Realization System], this attribute can transform Transform your own Qi into anything you want, that is, materialize your Qi.”

"Embodiment type..." Kurapika put down his hand and frowned slightly: "Besides the embodiment type, what other categories are there?"

"That's exactly what I was going to say."

Izenabi took out a piece of white paper, laid it on the stone, and drew a hexagon on the paper:

"Qi can be divided into six major categories according to its own properties. In addition to the embodiment system you just showed..."

"If the water in the cup suddenly increases, it is the [Enhancement System]. The Enhancement System can use thoughts to strengthen oneself to fight. In terms of combat ability alone, this type is the strongest."

"If the taste of water changes, it is a [change system] that can change the nature of Qi."

"The leaves move autonomously, which is the [operating system] of using Qi to control matter or living things."

"The color of the water changes, and the energy is emitted from a long distance for combat [Release System]."

"If a phenomenon occurs that is different from the other five systems, it is the [Special System]."

Kurapika was a little disappointed: "Really... It would be great if it was the enhanced type with the strongest combat ability."

"Idiot, this is not something you can do whatever you want, it is determined by your physique. Of course, it's not like you can't learn strengthening moves. Before that..."

Izenabi poured out the water in the cup, filled it with clean water and replaced it with a leaf: "Come on, Heather, let's see what you are tied to."

"Been waiting for a long time!"

Heather also placed her hands on both sides of the cup wall, and activated her mental energy.

Click! Click!

With a series of dense crisp sounds, fine cracks appeared on the wall of the cup, and a large number of metallic-colored crystals emerged from the water and were still expanding!

In just one second, the cup couldn't hold on anymore. The glass exploded, the water in the cup spilled on the rocks, and all the crystals disappeared.

"You are also a [Realization Type]. Surprisingly, I thought you would be a [Strengthening Type] or a [Trait Type]..."

Izanabi subconsciously rubbed his stubble-covered chin.

"Master! You haven't told me yet how I can use the enhanced abilities!" Kurapika couldn't wait any longer.

"Tsk, what a realistic disciple. He only calls me master when he needs something from me!"

Izanabi scratched his head, picked up a pen and marked the names of the six major departments on each of the six corners of the hexagon on the paper, and then wrote the corresponding values ​​​​one by one.

"Listen carefully, assuming you can fully utilize the abilities of the manifestation department, then the ability cultivation rate of other departments will become like this."

He pointed to the values ​​written on the paper, which were [Realization System] 100%, [Change System] 80%, [Reinforcement System] 60%, [Release System] 40%, [Operation System] 60%, [Trait system] 0%.

"No matter how high the talent is." Izanabi glanced at Heather: "As long as it is not in the ability system that you belong to, you will not be able to fully utilize it."

He then pointed at the release system opposite the embodiment system: "The farther away an ability is from your own system, the lower the success rate."

Kurapika frowned and looked at the hexagon on the paper for a while, then suddenly asked: "Why is the trait system 0%?"

"The trait system is very special. You can't learn it just by wanting to learn it. It requires a special bloodline or a very special growing environment."

The pen barrel rotated rapidly between Izanabi's fingers, and then he grabbed it: "The reason why the trait system is placed in the middle between the embodiment system and the operation system is because people from these two systems have the highest chance of transforming into the trait system later. , which means that you may still learn the abilities of the trait system. But don’t be deceived by the name. Most of the trait systems are auxiliary abilities with strange effects. It is better to face the enemy head-on than the materialization system."

Kurapika frowned even more tightly: "Compared to the materialization system and the trait system, I need the power to defeat the enemy alone!"

"You said before that you chose to be a hunter in order to regain the flaming eyes left behind by the Kuluta tribe, right? There will certainly be battles of all sizes, and you are right to expect to gain enhanced abilities. Because the reinforcement system combines offensive, defensive and healing capabilities, it can be called the strongest combat system."

Izanabi shook the pen in his hand: "It's a pity that you are in the materialization system. If you learn the strengthening system as shown in the picture, you can only develop almost half of the skills and power."

Heather suddenly asked: "If the quality and total amount of Qi on both sides are similar, who has a greater chance of winning in a battle between the manifestation system and the enhancement system?"

"Well……"

Izanabi slapped his scalp and threw the pen on the paper: "There is no way to make a simple conclusion. Facing the enhanced system with both high attack and defense power, it is difficult for the materialized system to win. However, if If you use the ability of the materialization system to turn gas into physical objects, you can exert amazing power. Heather, let me ask you, can materialization create a [knife that can cut anything]?"

"Can't? This is far beyond the theoretical and human limits." Heather tilted her head.

"Yes, such an outrageous thing cannot be realized. But if we just make a [hard and sharp knife], it will be fine. But, will you be willing to do so? If it is just this level, why not buy one? Where’s the real famous sword?”

Izanabi rubbed his chin and said slowly:

"If it is just a weapon that embodies reality, it cannot reflect the strange power of telekinesis at all. It can only have the effect of being retractable and retractable. If this is the case, the embodiment system will naturally be at a disadvantage in battle...it must be used to its full potential. Imagination!”

Heather understood a little bit: "You mean, as long as I think this thing can materialize and I have enough energy, then I can really do it?"

"Idiot, are you listening to me? You must carefully consider the items that are most suitable for manifestation, and you must not fail. Because it takes a lot of concentration, imagination and practice to flexibly manifest something."

Kurapika fell into a depression. How could it be possible for ordinary weapons to deal with the evil thugs of the Phantom Troupe!

"I have a question. Suppose I want to manifest a sword that [cuts off all things]. This is definitely impossible, right? Then is it possible to materialize a sword with some conditions, weaknesses, and similar effects? ?”

Heather's words suddenly woke up Kurapika, and he looked up at Izanabi.

Izanabi scratched his head: "The two disciples are really troublesome...well, there is indeed, [Restrictions and Oaths]."

"[Restrictions] that set conditions and then execute them, and [Oaths] that swear to abide by them. Make rules and swear in your heart, [No matter what happens, you must abide by this condition]!"

Izanabi raised his right hand and clenched his fist: "The stricter the rules, the greater the power! Just like playing mahjong or poker, the harder the cards are, the higher the score. If you use general methods to strengthen telekinesis ability, it is Additive effect, then the thought that establishes restrictions and oaths is a multiplicative effect, which can enhance the ability several times!"

"Establish restrictions for the weapons you manifest within the scope that you can abide by in your heart. To be honest, this bold technique is not stable, like a double-edged sword. Once the oath is broken, the ability to read will be counterproductive. Destruction by force! Speaking of which, have you thought about what item you want to manifest?"

"chain."

Kurapika said calmly:

"When I knew that I belonged to the materialization system, something like this came to mind. Evil ghosts like the Phantom Troupe do whatever they want, so they need to be tied to the underworld with chains!"

"It seems like you won't be willing to manifest an ordinary chain. Do you have any ideas?"

"Only used on the brigade, a chain that cannot be broken off."

"Is the condition not to be used outside the target? Not strict enough!" Izanabi shook his head: "At this level, there is no way to create an [unbreakable chain]."

"Don't worry, it's just a prerequisite that you can't use chains on people outside the brigade."

Kurapika's eyes gradually turned fiery red: "I will bet my life. Once I violate the oath, my heart will be broken by my own chains. This is my awakening!"

Izanabi stood up with a surprised expression: "Wait a minute, Kurapika! After you turned into flaming eyes, did your [ki] increase... Yes, your [ki] increased a lot!"

He hurriedly found a new goblet, filled it with water, and threw in a leaf: "Come here quickly and do the water view pose again! Maybe you are..."

"The leaves are moving, the color turns red, the amount of water increases, unknown debris appears, etc..."

Izanabi dipped his fingers into the water and put it in his mouth to taste: "The taste has also changed! Kurapika, you are not only a manifestation type, but when you turn into flaming eyes, you are a trait type!"

"Is this really good? Making gold fingers on the spot?"

Although Heather, who was sitting nearby, had read the original comic, she was still speechless when she saw this scene. This was her son's cheating.

Kurapika's special ability is that as long as he is in the flaming eye state, no matter which telekinesis system he has, he can exert 100% of his abilities! Its name is——

【Absolute time】!

PS: Regarding the update issue, old book friends all know what kind of thing I am when it comes to updates. It would be embarrassing to say too much. To be honest, there is indeed a bit of saving in manuscripts, but not much. I want to save it until the climax chapter and release it in a coherent manner. It's better than squeezing out toothpaste after two updates, right? I won't go out during the National Day holiday, so I will try my best to write and compile manuscripts.

In addition, this book has entered the signing stage, but the contract has not yet been sent, so please feel free to read it.

The tentative update time every day is midnight. If you want to update at another time, you can leave a message. I think if there are many people leaving messages, I will change the time.

PS: The protagonist is of the materialization type, and the main fan of the Hunter is the trait type, which is a bit tired of aesthetics, so let’s change the taste. You can guess what the protagonist’s telekinesis ability is, but here’s a reminder – it’s very versatile.
