Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 431 The Lord's Battle

Sky Arena, Floor 200, Section D, Arena 7.

"Today is another highly anticipated challenge for the host. Since the host privileges were added, the battle on the 200th floor has been extremely fierce."

This is the commentary voice from Sky Arena.

The stadium is completely full.

On the big screen appeared two huge portraits, representing today's contestants.

"Today's challenger is someone who reached the 200th floor in just two days, and after reaching the 200th floor, he gained enough wins to earn the opportunity to challenge. Let's welcome Yuto Aburaya."

As the commentator's voice rang out, Yuuto Aburaya appeared on the other side of the ring; he was a young man with a buzz cut.

With an arrogant expression, Yuto Yutani could feel many eyes on him, but instead of feeling uncomfortable, he was quite excited.

Highlights of Yuto Yutani's match were also displayed on the big screen.

In the audience, a pink-haired woman wore a disdainful expression.

"That's quite flamboyant!"

"After all, this is what Lord Bi Yangde said at the beginning, and his strength is indeed very strong." Sitting next to him was a bespectacled man in a suit, who looked very refined.

They were Bi Yangde's companions.

I've been in Kerry for some time now.

Those who followed Bi Yangde were all there to test their strength; even those with support abilities needed a certain level of skill.

Some chose to challenge the various martial arts gyms in Kerry City, while others opted to compete in the Sky Arena.

Everyone has their own destiny; some have been eliminated, while others have stood out.

Clearly, Yuto Yutani is one of the most outstanding among them.

At this point, he began to introduce the host he had challenged.

"Now let's welcome the Perfume Witch Himiko. This Perfume Witch has been the 200th floor's ruler for over a year, defending her position with her formidable strength and defeating challenger after challenger."

"So, will the perfume witch Himiko be able to successfully defend her title today? Let's wait and see. Next up is the prediction round."

Now it's time for the audience to place their bets. The big screen shows Himiko's winning percentage at 76%, while Yuto Aburaya's winning percentage is only 24%.

The odds are 3 to 1.

Upon seeing this, Yuto Yutani spat out a curse, somewhat displeased. He was determined to prove his strength and slap this odds in the face.

Yuya Yuto deliberately chose a veteran landlord, feeling that the newly appointed landlord would not pose much of a challenge.

That is to say, there are two others who have just finished fighting and have time to rest, otherwise he would challenge the stronger 200th floor boss.

"Who are you betting on?" asked the pink-haired woman, Dorothy.

"No need to ask." The bespectacled man, Gold, pressed the button and bet all the chips he had exchanged on Yuto Aburaya.

The same is true for everyone else.

Despite their mutual dislike, the time they spent together convinced them of Yuto Aburaya's abilities.

The approval ratings came out quickly.

"Oh, Yuto Aburaya has a 43% win rate. It seems that many viewers support this rising star."

The approval rating isn't overwhelmingly one-sided; it's more of a 50/50 split.

"The guessing round is over. Now, please proceed to the center of the arena." A series of steps leading directly to the arena appeared.

Both of them reached the center of the ring.

"Kid, you've got guts. You actually dared to challenge me. Judging from your expression, you're very confident in your abilities, aren't you?" Himiko couldn't help but say, looking at the crew-cut youth not far away.

She was slightly taken aback when she saw the ordinary clothes the other person was wearing.

Although there are now some restrictions on using divine artifacts in combat, this is the first time she has ever seen a challenger who doesn't even have divine clothing.

Himiko wondered if the other party had studied her.

The person who posted on the 200th floor has experienced the most battles, and their information has also been leaked the most.

In Nen battles, unless the difference in strength is drastic, intelligence is crucial.

"Of course, you're just the starting point from the 200th floor. I will defeat you and then climb up step by step," Yuto Aburaya said arrogantly.

Himiko sized up the other person, then chuckled: "Perhaps there have been too many participants lately, and you've been lucky enough not to be matched with anyone strong enough on the 200th floor."

In Himiko's eyes, the man before her was far too naive.

"Please wait a moment, both contestants." The referee began activating the divine formation on the arena.

As the light appeared, a square, three-dimensional barrier enveloped the arena.

As the barrier unfolded, the arena began to expand.

Yuya Yuto was no longer surprised, after all, he had seen it many times before.

The original arena was too small, so it was expanded using the power of the divine word, similar to the Seamless Stretch Spell.

Although the contestants already knew the rules, the referee still explained them to them first.

The knockout system is out of 10 points. Unless you can knock out someone with one blow, whoever gets 10 points first wins.

Several large screens were also set up outside the arena to accommodate ordinary spectators who might not be able to see the fight from too far away or from the two fighters moving too fast.

After confirming that the two had no objections.

"Then, let the competition begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee became ethereal, and the battle between the two contestants would no longer affect the referee.

"Oh, it was Yuto Aburaya who launched the first attack."

Yuto Aburaya is an Enhancement-type Devil Fruit user, and he immediately launches a punch and kick attack.

Enhancement-type ability users are well-rounded in all aspects and can handle various situations.

"However, this is not a wise choice."

in the audience.

"This commentary is way too biased!" Dorothy said, somewhat annoyed by the commentary.

The words were full of denigration.

"After all, today's commentator is Tiffany, who is not only a commentator for Sky Arena, but also the owner of the 201st floor."

"The win rates shown previously were all judged by the commentators."

A young man spoke up from behind them.

Everyone looked back and saw a young man wearing glasses with a smile on his face, who seemed to be a very peaceful person.

"The commentary for the 'Launch Master Challenge' is quite unique; the 'Launch Master' is always assigned to provide commentary because they have access to more information."

"So you think Yuuya Hayato will lose?" Dorothy asked directly, though her tone was somewhat sharp.

"I can't be sure, but it seems that this Yuto Aburaya didn't do any pre-match preparations," Yun Gu said again.

He also didn't think highly of Yuto Aburaya.

At this moment, the commentary started again.

"Oh, it seems you've already fallen for it. Not only did you fail to prepare before the competition, but you also didn't seem to pay much attention to the title reminders?"
