Hunter x Hunter: Domineering Practitioner

Tianming's outburst was so sudden that even with President Netero's reaction speed, he was half a beat slower and the opponent grabbed the ball firmly in his hand.

Seeing that the ball in his hand was about to be snatched away by the opponent, Netero gritted his teeth and became secretly ruthless.

He is not a person who cannot afford to lose, he just cannot afford to lose a little.

He could accept others defeating him using telekinesis or other means, but being defeated head-on like this would be more painful than being killed, even if it was just a small game of grabbing the ball.

Thinking of this, he instantly activated his mind, wrapped his palm with mental energy and tightly grasped the other side of the ball.

After feeling Netero using his mental energy, Tian Ming cursed in his heart. This old immortal was so shameless that he actually bullied him because he didn't use his mental energy. He was so unsportsmanlike!

But at this time he had already grabbed the other side of the ball. It was impossible to ask him to let go. The two of them exerted force at the same time and the ball was torn into two halves in an instant.

boom!

The sound of the ball exploding directly shattered most of the glass on the airship. The huge noise woke up all the candidates who were still asleep. They gradually calmed down only after being comforted by the association’s staff.

These people calmed down, but Tianming was not. He shook the remaining half of the ball in his hand and stared at the old man Netero with a classic dead fish eyes.

I have to say that Netero is really thick-skinned. He flicked his hands and showed an extremely helpless expression.

"What a shame! You didn't get the ball, so you lose the game."

Tian Ming gnashed his teeth and said, "You old man, are you playing tricks on me? Even if I didn't get the whole ball, at least I got half of it. How do I calculate this half of the ball?"

“Even if you win half of it!”

"What about my reward?"

Tianming didn't really care about winning or losing. The important thing was how to calculate the identity and hunter license of the half hunter he won.

Netero spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about this. A hunter's license is only valid if it's complete, and we can't just give you half."

When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and he knocked his palm with his right fist, and an idea suddenly appeared above his head.

"Oh right! I seem to have heard that the purpose of your participation in the Hunter Exam is to learn Nen. In that case, I can agree to one condition of yours."

"What conditions?"

"Whether you pass the Hunter Exam or not, I can personally teach you the knowledge of Nen ability. What do you think?"

Tianming's eyes lit up when he heard this. The other party was one of the strongest Nen users in the hunter world, and his knowledge of Nen was definitely much richer than that of ordinary hunters.

But at this time he touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He always felt that something seemed strange. This old man looked righteous on the outside, but he was actually a black-bellied old man who did things to the end. How could he be so kind as to personally teach him the knowledge of his mind ability?

Just then he suddenly thought of something and squinted his eyes again at President Netero.

"According to my research, there seems to be an unwritten rule among hunters that if you learn Nen from someone, you are supposed to be his teacher. How dare you, an old man like you, want to be my teacher?"

Netero laughed out loud when he heard this. This was indeed what he was thinking in his mind, but he didn't feel embarrassed when he was exposed by the other party.

The bean-faced man who heard everything not far away was extremely emotional. He looked at Tianming angrily and said, "You are so rude! Do you know how many people in this world want to become the president's disciple? The last time the president accepted a disciple was decades ago, and all of his disciples are top hunters in the association. It is your honor to become his disciple!"

Netero waved his hand at the bean-faced man to stop him from speaking, then stroked his beard and looked at Tianming.

"You don't have to take it so seriously. You just said that this is an unwritten rule. If you believe it, then it exists. If you deny it, then it doesn't exist. There's no need to take it so seriously. And I also said that teaching you Nen is your reward for this game. There's no master-disciple relationship between us. You don't have to take this rule too seriously."

Tianming nodded in satisfaction. He had been training hard in the navy for decades alone. Aokiji and Garp had both mentioned that they wanted to teach him, but he refused. He just couldn't stand the feeling of being suppressed by others.

There was nothing he could do about the pressure his parents put on him. In his previous life, he had changed jobs countless times and had a very bad relationship with almost every direct supervisor. He even beat up a supervisor who dared to point at his nose and scold him. As a result, he became so famous that he could not find a job in his hometown and was forced to move to another city to continue making a living.

However, that's his personality. Even after moving to another city, he still couldn't get along well with his leaders. As long as someone dared to command or order him, he would feel disgusted on a psychological level.

When he was in the navy, he was also a lone ranger. When there was a mission from above, he would obey orders and carry it out. When he had nothing to do, he would just stay on his ship and be a hands-off boss. He would never have too much contact with people like Sengoku or Akainu, for fear that if he had too much contact with them for a long time, he would get beaten up by them too.

After negotiating the terms, Tianming was contented and prepared to go back to his room to sleep. After this incident, Killua no longer had the heart to continue playing ball.

Xiao Jie wanted to continue playing with the president, but the problem was that the ball was crushed, so he had to leave in boredom, and the ball-grabbing game ended in a hasty manner.

On the way back, Killua looked at Tianming and asked casually, "What President Netero used just now is called Nen, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tianming began to explain to the other party.

"Nen ability refers to the special skills released after mastering the mind energy. Just now, the president only used the mind energy and did not use the ability."

Killua nodded and continued, "It seems that you know a lot about Nen and Nen abilities. Can you tell us about it?"

Seeing that Killua and Gon were interested in the ability of Nen, Tianming briefly explained what he knew about the ability of Nen.

To put it simply, the human body is radiating life energy all the time. Gathering this volatile energy and locking it around you can enhance your own strength and slow the loss of vitality. This is the application of the so-called "entanglement", the basis of mental ability.

There are usually two ways to activate telekinesis.

One is to break through one's limits through practice, so as to actively discover the mental energy in the body and use it.

The other method is for other Nen users to forcibly infuse Nen into the body, and then wrap it around the body before the overflowing vitality is completely dissipated. This is another method of opening Nen, and it is also the method used by most Nen users.

Xiao Jie nodded as if he understood, not quite. His brain was not suited to such complicated thinking, but with his beast-like intuition, he roughly understood what Mind Qi was.

At this time, Qi Ya grasped the key point of Tian Ming's words. He turned to Tian Ming and asked seriously, "You just said that the ability of mind can be activated through self-cultivation?"

"That's right! Xiaojie is still a little short of awakening his mind, but your current state is infinitely close to the edge of awakening your mind. If you go back and meditate, maybe you will be able to awaken your mind."
