Sky Arena.
Two hundredth floor combat arena.
The stands were packed, and the audience cheered in waves.
"Chello's Cruel Art!"
"I wonder which unlucky newcomer is about to suffer cruel torment again."
"Haha, isn't this great?"
"I spent a lot of money to buy this ticket, just to see this."
The audience cheered heartily, their faces showing more or less a hint of fanaticism and bloodlust.
They all seemed to be fans of a certain contestant who was about to enter the arena.
Besides the regular audience, there were also several Nen Users sitting in the stands.
In the arena.
The tall, thin, scarred man in a bizarre tight suit slowly walked out, the four weapons at his waist clanging against each other.
Chello stretched out his hand and pointed a sharp finger at Kevin on the opposite side.
"Little sapling, I will 'prune' you perfectly!"
His voice was sharp and sticky, sickening to the ear.
Kevin stood opposite, quietly gazing at his opponent.
In the stands.
Yun Gu, who was mixed in with the audience, asked, "Master, can Kevin be his opponent?"
From Yun Gu's perspective, the Nen emanating from the man named Chello was more intimidating; at least, he felt that he himself was currently no match for him.
Bisky watched quietly.
They received the news when Kevin arrived at the two hundredth floor and immediately rushed over, not expecting to just catch Kevin's first battle.
"Unless the strength gap between the two sides is extremely obvious, the outcome of a battle is not so easy to judge."
Bisky instructed.
"However, that Chello already possesses his own Nen Ability, and having so many fans indicates that he has experienced many battles here, accumulating rich experience in fighting Nen Users."
Recalling their separation four months ago, Kevin was just a newly graduated Nen User.
Although Kevin had his own talent, battle experience between Nen Users is not easily compensated for.
What's more, Kevin's original battle experience was not extensive.
"However, he hasn't slacked off at all; the Nen on his body and the extent of his physical training have exceeded my expectations."
Bisky couldn't help but praise him, after all, who wouldn't admire a disciplined and hardworking student?
In the arena, the battle officially began.
With a command, both sides stood still, not moving rashly.
Kevin watched his opponent, recalling some information he had learned from video recordings last night.
The weapons Chello used in battle were precisely the four hanging from his waist.
These were not long-handled weapons; they were a serrated short dagger, steel needles, a meteor hammer, and a curved hook.
The four weapons hung at his waist, with a thin line connecting the end of each to his belt.
Analyzing the battle situations seen in the videos, he used these four weapons for throwing and manipulation in every battle.
Moreover, after these four weapons were thrown, their maneuverability was extremely strong, which could never be achieved by ordinary techniques.
This must have been aided by Nen Ability.
The question is, is this Materialization System, Manipulation System, or the very unlikely Specialization System?
If it's Materialization System, then these four weapons should be able to disappear and reappear at any time.
Keeping them openly hanging from his waist might be a misdirection for the enemy, a simple but effective trick that easily gains an advantage in an encounter.
It could also be Manipulation System. Manipulation System uses Nen to control existing objects, and weapons are naturally among them.
If it's Manipulation System, the attack methods of these four weapons will be extremely flexible, like extended arms. And poisoning the weapons might be a good choice for gaining an advantage; such a perverted guy would obviously not mind such things.
If it belongs to Materialization System, then these four weapons would most likely possess different functions.
However, in yesterday's video, Chello only used the meteor hammer and dagger, one or two weapons, when facing newcomers or Nen Users with weaker Nen.
Since he was watching a video, Kevin couldn't fully determine the specific functions of these two weapons, only inferring based on the effects displayed.
"Standing there like a little twig, not moving? Then I'm coming over."
Chello laughed shrilly.
With that, he suddenly drew the short dagger from his waist with his right hand and swiftly threw it towards Kevin.
A silver flash, and the dagger, connected by a thin line, instantly flew in front of Kevin.
Though fast, its speed was still within Kevin's tolerable range.
Facing this attack, Kevin slightly shifted his body, his left hand quickly reaching out to the side, precisely grasping the dagger's thread and wrapping it around his hand.
"Hmm?"
In the stands, Yun Gu was quite surprised by this move and turned to look at Bisky beside him.
Bisky nodded: "His body's learning ability… has gotten stronger?"
Both of them knew Kevin's physical learning ability very well. Dodging was normal, but being able to intercept the enemy's weapon after dodging was a technical maneuver.
"Has he already constructed his own Nen Ability?" Bisky murmured, considering this possibility.
Killua in the opposite stands couldn't help but roll his eyes. Hmph, damn it, he's copying me again.
Besides some simple battle experience, he didn't learn anything else.
This is unfair!
The battle continued.
Seeing Kevin not only easily dodge but also intercept his weapon, Chello was somewhat surprised.
Kevin gripped the weapon and pulled hard.
Such great strength! Chello instantly made a judgment, and his free hand immediately grabbed the meteor hammer from his waist and swung it towards Kevin.
Compared to the dagger, the meteor hammer was slower, but it whistled with wind pressure, smashing directly towards Kevin.
At the same time, a stronger pulling force came from the dagger in Kevin's left hand, trying to pin him in place.
"Your strength is too weak, simply no match."
Kevin flipped over, dodged the attack, and used the momentum to pull hard, actually causing Chello to stumble.
Just then, the dagger in Kevin's hand instantly disappeared.
"Materialization System," Kevin thought to himself.
And as the swung meteor hammer landed, it instantly vibrated, sending out a ripple.
Kevin quickly squatted down, steadying himself.
It seems the meteor hammer's attack method is to release shockwaves.
In that case, the dagger's characteristic is most likely the extreme sharpness I previously guessed.
So, what are the characteristics of the other two weapons?
Taking advantage of this gap, Kevin suddenly pushed off the ground, the powerful explosive force creating a small pit in the floor.
He rushed towards Chello like an arrow released from a bow.
As an Enhancement System Nen User with the strongest offensive capabilities, Kevin possessed both speed and strength in battle.
Seeing Kevin charge, Chello gripped the reappeared dagger in his right hand and thrust it towards him.
Kevin easily dodged by tilting his head, and his left hand, formed into a palm, thrust forward, precisely striking Chello's joint.
This technical attack instantly numbed Chello's left hand, and the dagger he held nearly slipped from his grasp.
"Always bullying the weak, have you forgotten how to fight against the strong?"
Kevin said, clenching his right hand into a fist and striking fiercely at Chello's face.
Just then, Chello finally gripped the short handle of the meteor hammer with his left hand and swung it from the side.
However, compared to Kevin's attack speed, Chello's meteor hammer was clearly a beat slower.
But, when the meteor hammer swung, even before it hit, the shockwave had already arrived.
"So that's it." Kevin understood in his heart, but he felt this level of power was nothing to fear!
Kevin forcefully passed through the shockwave. Although his body shifted slightly, the punch still heavily landed on Chello's shoulder.
The immense force directly sent Chello flying, causing him to flip through the air and fly outwards.
