Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 194 Superpower Martial Arts Hall

The next day, after finishing his own match, Illumi went to the martial arts gym he wanted to join.

It's worth mentioning that Illumi lost today, to a girl, or more precisely, a girl who can use Nen.

According to the information gathered by Illumi, the best age for awakening Nen is between 12 and 18 years old.

This age is a stage of growth and development, and the senses of the pores are particularly sensitive, allowing for faster control of Qi.

You can master Nen more skillfully through training.

Even if forced to open the mind, this age group is very suitable. Even if you fail to master the breath after opening the mind, the mortality rate is relatively low. At most, you will get a serious illness and your body will become weak.

These are all data accumulated over many years, with the main data coming from Byron's company.

If possible, Illumi would like to join the Shingen-ryu school, but unfortunately, the Shingen-ryu school does not have a martial arts hall.

The Xinyuanliu school's apprenticeship process is basically based on the master-apprentice relationship. Apprentices are either chosen by chance or by talent.

Given his background in an assassin family, it's unlikely that the Heart Source School would accept him.

After all, he became stronger mainly for work, not to pursue any martial arts.

Illumi chose a martial arts dojo with a very novel name, called "Psychic Martial Arts Dojo".

It is also a newly emerging martial arts style, known as the superpower style.

Based on the information Illumi has gathered, it doesn't seem to be a martial arts school, but rather a Nen school.

This school of thought places greater emphasis on the cultivation of Nen abilities.

The rise of this school of thought is also related to some of the actions of Byrd in Cree.

This school was initially founded by a few people. The disciples they initially accepted were children who had mastered Nen from a young age, or children who were born with "superpowers".

The former is a child whose Nen ability was forcibly awakened, while the latter is a natural Nen user.

Although the latter is less common, it is still possible to find it.

In particular, after Yang De researched Nen abilities, he also conducted "research" on some pregnant women, seemingly with the intention of creating true innate Nen users.

This is actually a topic worth exploring.

For example, if a pregnant woman with Nen abilities is pregnant, will her aura be different during pregnancy, and will her aura affect the child?

To enable a child to control qi from birth.

It's somewhat like the chimeric ant queen giving birth to three guards and the ant king.

The three Royal Guardians and the King Ant were all carefully nurtured by the Queen Ant, and were born with powerful auras.

(This is from the anime, where the rabbit ant, having just awakened his Nen and about to become arrogant, is intimidated by the aura of the newborn cat girl.)

There's also another theory about the claim that Catwoman and Kate fought all night.

The newborn catgirl possessed ki, but she didn't understand how to use or control it. However, she gradually learned by imitation during her battle with Kate.

Later, I learned more information from Pokkuru, but it wasn't detailed, since Pokkuru was only a half-baked expert.

But Byard's experiment was successful.

It is indeed possible to create people who are born with the ability to control their thoughts.

However, it was soon discovered that even if the pores of the penis are open at birth and the child actively takes control of their mind, the pores will gradually close as the child grows.

Because newborn infants are different from the chimeric ant subhumans, they do not possess mature intelligence and are therefore unable to grasp it.

Unless it's an extremely rare case, the type who is born with Nen and then develops that ability.

To date, there has only been one example in Byrd's research.

When Lucci found out, he felt it was similar to himself.

Many of the disciples in the Superpower Stream were actually "experiments" of Yang De.

When this martial arts dojo was first established, it faced opposition from many other martial arts dojos.

This has been a long-standing debate.

Should I train in martial arts first or in Nen ability first?

A solid foundation in martial arts leads to better physical fitness and stronger combat abilities, but it requires hard work.

While cultivating Nen directly in the early stages is certainly arduous, it is far less arduous than martial arts. Moreover, the existence of Nen allows one to possess a certain level of combat ability from the very beginning.

As for who is stronger or weaker, no definitive conclusion has been reached so far.

The superpower style is a school of thought that focuses on cultivating Nen in the early stages.

Illumi chose this style for no other reason than to master Nen ahead of time.

Reaching level 200 before mastering Nen is still a bit too far-fetched for him right now.

Even Illumi doesn't have enough confidence right now.

Of course, he also harbored some thoughts in his mind, namely, to master the concept of thought in advance.

He also wanted to experience that magical power.

Superpowered Cult is quite famous in Kerry City. Although it has only been established for a few years, its reputation is really big.

Because several of the fighters are well-known figures in the Sky Arena, and they have two bosses, albeit at the lower levels.

This is extremely rare in a newly established martial arts dojo.

Besides that, one of them is also an idol star who is adored by many people.

Unlike other martial arts dojo buildings where the screens display videos of various competitions.

The large screen in the Superpower Martial Arts Hall building was showing a gay pornographic video of a beautiful young girl.

In terms of earning power, Superpower Martial Arts Hall is definitely not weak.

The first hurdle to overcome when joining the Superpower Martial Arts Hall is appearance; in short, they don't accept ugly people.

It doesn't look like a martial arts gym at all.

Illumi is certainly not bad-looking, otherwise he wouldn't be called one of the three beauties of the Hunter x Hunter by some people.

I passed the preliminary test very smoothly.

We've entered the interview stage.

A one-on-one interview.

The interviewer was a middle-aged man. According to the information Illumi had gathered, this man was the mastermind behind the Psychic Martial Arts Hall.

According to Zoldyck's intelligence network, the other party seems to have connections with a company in Kerry City.

"Judging from the information you filled out, you come from the Zoldyck family, the family that the public knows?" The first question Illumi asked was about his background.

After some confirmation.

"Yes!" Illumi nodded.

The interviewer crossed his arms and rested them on the table.

"Then why did you join our martial arts gym? Coming from a family of assassins, shouldn't you have no reason to join a martial arts gym?"

"And it seems you haven't learned how to read it."

The middle-aged man used Nen to "coerce" Illumi.

That's enough to put pressure on Illumi.

When one of the children being interviewed turns out to be a Zoldyck killer.

Bowen was extremely surprised and shocked, meaning he didn't have much time to verify the information; otherwise, he would have definitely verified it before conducting the interview.

Despite feeling the pressure on him, Illumi remained cold and expressionless, but deep down he was actually a little flustered.

"I came to the Sky Arena to learn how to read."

The application form he submitted also showed his current floor number.
