Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 22: The Tournament Ends, Cooperation Begins

"I lost!" Bisky collapsed onto the ring.

At this moment, she looked quite disheveled.

Her opponent was a martial artist in his forties.

"At your age, I didn't have your strength." The other party also praised Bisky's strength.

"You didn't use your abilities, otherwise I would have lost even more miserably." Bisky ripped off her clothes to cover the parts that were about to be exposed.

"Haha, didn't we agree from the beginning that we would only compete in martial arts?" Bisky's opponent laughed as he stepped off the stage.

Bisky's battle was led by Lucci.

Bisky's journey in the fighting tournament ended in the top 80.

Fortunately, Bisky wasn't the only one participating in Shingenryu.

This fighting tournament did indeed see some young talents emerge, but those who made it to the end were mostly martial artists over thirty years old.

The older they get, the stronger they become.

In battle, not everyone uses special Nen abilities; many choose martial arts combat methods.

And this match was just like that; Bisquie lost fair and square.

"I still need to work harder, and I will definitely win a championship," Bisky declared.

"It's a shame you're a referee now, otherwise I'd really like to run into you in the ring," Bisky said to Lucci.

Lucci smiled slightly: "There will be opportunities in the future."

But not now.

He prefers to accumulate strength, and unless absolutely necessary, he prefers to fight with an overwhelming force.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

This fighting tournament lasted for a full month, a period that coincided with the most prosperous time in Kerry City.

This was also the time when Sky Arena was making a fortune.

Lucci also received a month of instruction from Netero.

It also involves the training of the Hundred Styles of Guanyin, since Lucci has won the "game".

Of course, the Hundred Forms of Kannon taught by Netero is only the most rudimentary one.

Lucci also copied it using his Sharingan, making it the first ability to be completely copied to date.

The fighting tournament also copied a lot of striking abilities.

Lucci will be quite busy from now on.

Before leaving, Netero specifically instructed Lucci to train his abilities more, hoping that he could have even more fun next time he saw Lucci.

All Lucci could say was that he had done his best.

The fighting tournament has concluded, and the "board of directors" remains unchanged today.

Some people left, while others stayed to continue training in the Sky Arena, since it was rare to find an opponent.

Bisky also stayed behind; she was going to remain at the Sky Arena for a while.

From this point on, Lucci had a sparring partner.

Aside from work, he spends his days cultivating himself, leaving the bookstore to Bick to manage.

Another six months passed in this way.

During this time, I also heard news that Cree was going to build a highway to the nearby city of Roland.

Led by the government, four gang families joined forces.

This highway can facilitate the connection between Crewe and Roland, and promote the development of both cities.

Lucci knew it was Julia who made the move, but he didn't know what methods she used.

However, Lucci didn't pay attention to this.

Another six months passed in this way.

The highway was finally completed, and there were even dedicated buses.

When I saw Julia again, her demeanor had changed. She was dressed in a women's business suit, and I would have mistaken her for a female government employee.

Her demeanor has become much more capable.

"Lord Lucci, I have fulfilled your request. Now, can you tell me about Nian?" Julia asked.

Julia now knows the term for this power.

If you spend money, you can learn some things.

"Of course, you should know that as long as you can reach the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, you will inevitably come into contact with this power..."

Lucci explains to Julia the power of thought.

However, this is just a brief overview, without going into too much detail.

Julia then asked several more questions about Nen, which Lucci answered.

Lucci even gave Julie a live demonstration of his abilities in Phoenix.

It also has the ability to control flames.

This can be considered a demonstration of one's strength.

"Lord Lucci, now that I have fulfilled my request, may we begin our cooperation?"

Lucci countered, "How do we cooperate?"

"It's a win-win situation. Lord Lucci, whatever you need, I'll find a way to give it to you. What I want is more benefits from the Sky Arena."

Julia answered quickly, clearly having thought it all through on the way there.

"What I want is something you can hardly provide for me right now."

He knew some of the secret medicine recipes of the Heart Source School, but apart from the ones Netero provided at the beginning, Lucci had to collect and prepare the rest himself.

The Heart Source School does not provide this to its disciples on its own initiative; this is also considered part of the Heart Source School's cultivation process.

Many of the materials are quite difficult to obtain.

Some of the recipes are even ancient ones that have never been made before, and they are part of the Shingenryu's heritage.

Lucci already knew that Yorknew City had been established in this era, but its auctions had not yet made a name for themselves.

It's not yet a world-renowned auction city, but rather an underground auction city where gangs sell stolen goods.

This is also a significant source, but it's unclear what the Conrad family's standing is among the world's criminal organizations.

"What do adults need?"

Lucci uttered a series of words that Julia couldn't understand at all, and had no idea what they were.

"These are not easy to come by, and even if you do find them, they won't be cheap, but I'm not in a hurry."

"Let's talk about your plans in detail first."

Julia sat up straight and took out her proposal from the briefcase beside her.

During this time, she was not working as a bookstore owner, but rather doing a lot as the person in charge of road construction.

They have also grown a lot.

I had considered this when I came to see Lu Qi today, and I have already prepared a plan.

This will allow Lucci to understand the situation clearly and then support her.

Lu Qi flipped through the documents and found that there were quite a few plans.

The first and foremost goal is to make a lot of money through Sky Arena; money is essential.

Secondly, we should continue to try to win over lone martial artists.

There are also plans to sponsor the Sky Arena, providing financial treatment to some injured martial artists so that they can receive better treatment.

Among these were the construction of orphanages and other public facilities and buildings in Cree City under the name of Sky Arena.

and many more......

At first, Julia didn't know what Lucci needed.

But when Lucci made that road request, she made some guesses.

If I'm not mistaken, what Lucci wants and what she wants overlap in some ways.

And now I understand something more: martial arts cultivation.
