Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Probing X Intelligence

Facing the battle below, Bisky's face on the spectator stands revealed a satisfied smile.

"Kevin's mind is quite agile in battle; he's applying the knowledge I taught him to real combat.

Compared to his not-so-bright physical learning ability, his brain turns quite fast."

As she spoke, Bisky's gaze involuntarily fell upon Yun Gu.

Feeling the pressure from her gaze, Yun Gu turned his head, focusing intently on the battle in the arena.

In the arena, Kevin had already scored two points: one for an effective hit and another for knocking his opponent to the ground.

But he didn't stop his offense; after punching his opponent flying, he immediately rushed forward.

Facing an enemy who had fallen to the ground and hadn't fully adjusted his posture, Kevin lunged forward and unleashed a powerful cannon punch.

"Bang!"

The power of this punch was clearly felt by everyone in the arena.

The ring's floor was directly blasted open, and a large amount of smoke and dust scattered, obscuring part of the audience's view.

"What's the situation?"

"Chello isn't dead, is he?"

"With such power, even if he's not dead, he's definitely KO'd."

"Did that cruel guy finally get his comeuppance?!"

"Look there!"

Following the shouts, everyone saw a figure flying diagonally out of the vision-blocking smoke.

This figure floated off the ground, eerily tracing a semicircle across the arena, landing at the furthest point from Kevin.

The smoke gradually dispersed, and Kevin stood in place, shaking his right hand to remove the dust and small stones clinging to it.

Where he had attacked, a man-sized crater appeared.

Kevin turned his head and saw Chello in the distance, already having gotten up from the ground and adjusted his posture.

At this moment, Chello looked to be in a bad state; after taking a direct punch from Kevin, his shoulder showed very obvious swelling and redness, and the bone there was certainly cracked.

Kevin did not attack rashly this time.

He had already roughly figured out some of the rules of his enemy's Nen Ability.

Chello's four weapons essentially attacked by being thrown out and then controlled.

The dagger's characteristic was sharpness, while the meteor hammer could release shockwaves.

After a weapon was thrown out, it would take approximately three seconds to retract it.

Hitting a target might speed up this process, but Kevin had not been hit, so he couldn't confirm.

The weapons could also be held in hand and still be effective in combat.

However, judging from the meteor hammer's attack just now, its power when held in hand was definitely not as great as when thrown.

Otherwise, his punch just now, even if it had directly struck, would have been largely deflected, resulting in at most a graze.

And the curved hook's ability had also been displayed—it could carry the user's body for rapid movement.

Just now, after being hit by Kevin's punch and sent flying, Chello had no time or space to quickly adjust his posture.

If he had been hit by a heavy punch from Kevin at that moment, the battle would have ended directly.

At the critical moment just before being hit, he threw out the curved hook, which carried him to the landing point.

Based on Kevin's observations and judgment just now, using the curved hook to adjust posture or move quickly must be over a long distance, though the time interval could not be determined.

Perhaps it was also three seconds, or perhaps more.

During movement, only limited arc adjustments could be made based on the flight trajectory of the thrown curved hook.

"Swish!"

The dagger flew over again, and this time the meteor hammer also came along.

The two weapons attacked Kevin from different angles, attempting to block his evasion space.

Kevin immediately squatted and sidestepped, dodging sideways in a frog-like leap.

However, the attack he thought he could dodge suddenly curved around towards his dodging direction.

It turned out that Chello used three weapons; he threw the curved hook towards Kevin's dodging direction, dragging his body, and consequently, the other two thrown weapons also flew in the same manner.

He can operate them like that?

It seems he added a restriction to his weapons that they couldn't be freely controlled once thrown, and conversely, hitting a target would definitely reduce the retrieval time.

Kevin realized that his evasion space had become extremely limited and he had to endure one of the attacks.

With almost no hesitation, Kevin quickly made a decision.

He chose to dodge the dagger and directly kicked the meteor hammer with his left leg.

"Thud!"

A dull, strange sound emanated, and the shockwave spread out with greater force than a close-range attack.

"Hmm? Such great power?"

Just as this doubt arose in Kevin's mind, he quickly got his answer. Even though he intentionally collided, he was still sent flying by the shockwave.

No pain? Not much feeling of injury.

He hadn't sustained much damage.

Perhaps not even his shoes were torn.

So that's how it is, the meteor hammer is mostly used to repel enemies, its repelling attribute far greater than its offensive power.

This is merely an auxiliary weapon used to cooperate with other weapons to achieve an attacking purpose; its appearance is quite deceptive.

Alright, alright, fighting a battle, his mind is full of calculations.

However, this was exactly what Kevin wanted.

Using the momentum of being sent flying by the shockwave, Kevin suddenly exerted force, and his body actually completed a posture adjustment in mid-air without any leverage.

Of course, this was another skill he had "borrowed" from Killua, silently thanking his good friend Killua!

Kevin landed, having adjusted his posture, and pounced towards Chello like a leopard.

Clearly, Chello hadn't expected Kevin to be able to readjust his posture after being repelled in mid-air and even use it to approach him at a faster speed.

The meteor hammer reappeared in his hand, and he fiercely threw it towards Kevin.

Not even three seconds had passed.

It seems his guess was correct; after a weapon hits, the time limit for retrieval disappears.

The power from earlier was not enough for Kevin to fully close in; Kevin, who was pouncing, put his hands on the ground and pushed hard.

His entire body rolled in the air, just barely dodging the meteor hammer.

Upon landing, he lunged forward.

At this moment, all three of his opponent's weapons had been thrown out and were in the time interval.

When Kevin got close, at most only the dagger could be held by Chello for resistance.

So, what about that last weapon?

When would his opponent use it?

The answer was now.

The steel needle at Chello's waist disappeared.

Kevin saw it!

During the battle, Kevin always maintained his Gyo state. The moment the steel needle was fiercely thrown by his opponent, it vanished.

It was In, and it flew extremely fast.

It was almost in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The steel needle's characteristic was penetration.

Kevin raised his right hand to block, and the steel needle pierced through his right arm.

The characteristic of the last weapon was also clear.

"What was that?"

"Idiot, use Gyo!"

In the stands, Bisky slapped Yun Gu on the back of his head.

She had to admit that the enemy's Nen Ability's completeness and combat experience were indeed superior to Kevin's.

"So, how will you respond?"

The steel needle embedded in his arm disappeared, and blood slowly flowed from the wound.

At this moment, the enemy had already pulled back to a safe distance, and all four weapons had returned to Chello's waist.

Chello was breathing heavily; the battle just now had put immense pressure on him.

He said with a serious expression, "You're right, pruning too many small branches made me forget what a great tree is.

I will treat you as a great tree and prune your branches well."

"Then I'll have to thank you in advance."

Kevin said, and then he drank two vials of potion.

Power Potion, Healing Potion.

I'll finish you in fifteen minutes.

The current score is two to two.
