Becoming a God at Level 100, Starting from Hunter x Hunter - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: End of the Hunter Test x Plan to Self-Learn Nen

“As soon as you step out of this building, you’ll be Hunters like us. We are both comrades and rivals. In any case, I wish you all the best of luck.”

“Dismissed!”

With Netero’s final words, the group left the meeting room and dispersed in different directions.

On the way out of the hotel, Gon turned to look at Luo Lin and asked, “Luo Lin, do you know about Kukuroo Mountain? Killua’s brother said Killua has returned to his home there.”

“Are you guys going to find Killua? Judging by his brother’s attitude, that place may not welcome you, and being a family of assassins, who knows what kind of treatment you’ll get!” Luo Lin deliberately tried to scare them.

“I’m going no matter what,” Gon said without hesitation.

“I have to go and apologize to Killua!”

Although Leorio and Kurapika didn’t say anything, their expressions clearly showed they felt the same.

“Apologize…”

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, recalling how Gon had paused after Killua killed someone.

“Kukuroo Mountain is actually quite famous. As for its location, you can easily find it online, and maybe even join a group tour to save some money.”

After saying this, Luo Lin turned and waved goodbye, leaving immediately.

He had no plans to visit the Zoldyck family. His time was too tight for watching a live version of the Hunter plot.

…

Elsewhere in the hallway.

“Are you sure it’s okay to just give them your family’s address like that?” Hisoka asked from a distance, watching Gon.

“Yes, it’s fine. My family is well-known anyway. Once they arrive, they’ll understand we’re from a different world,” Illumi said, his face expressionless.

“I hope they succeed. If Killua stays with your family, I won’t get a chance to savor him!” Hisoka said with a grin, looking at Illumi.

“You’ll never get the chance,” Illumi replied, his voice calm, as if stating a fact as solid as iron.

“Heh heh!” Hisoka chuckled but said nothing more.

“You can do it, right?” Hisoka licked his lips, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Gon not far away.

…

On the street, Luo Lin used money he took from other Hunter examinees to buy a local map.

“Let’s see if there’s a suitable place nearby.”

Luo Lin’s eyes scanned the map, looking for a place with fewer people, suitable for training.

In the coming days, he planned to focus entirely on leveling up and gaining experience.

Of course, leveling up wasn’t his main goal.

His main goal was to quickly learn Nen.

That fragile, unspoken agreement with Netero gave Luo Lin no sense of security.

So, he needed to learn Nen as quickly as possible. That way, even if he decided to bail, he wouldn’t feel any regret.

There were two clear paths in the Hunter world to learn Nen.

One was through the Hunter Association. After passing the Hunter exam, the association would send a dedicated instructor to teach Nen as part of the final assessment.

Normally, after passing the Hunter test, there was no rush, as the association would soon send someone to teach Nen.

But…

Luo Lin wasn’t normal!

He couldn’t be sure if anyone would be sent to teach him Nen.

The second option was the Heaven’s Arena.

There, if you reached the 200th floor, you would officially enter the arena of Nen users.

The first match on the 200th floor usually resulted in a baptism by an experienced Nen user. If you survived, you would naturally unlock Nen.

However, this choice was too dangerous. A normal body was far too fragile in front of a Nen user.

That was why many contestants on the 200th floor, who had undergone their baptism, often lacked a few body parts.

Of course, Luo Lin wasn’t planning on going to Heaven’s Arena for such a baptism. He cherished his intact body.

Still, Heaven’s Arena was a good place to go.

After all, where else in the world could you win 800 million Jenny in prize money for free?

(You’d earn around 400 million by reaching the 200th floor, and doubling that would secure 800 million!)

Moreover, if you used some tricks, it wasn’t impossible to learn Nen from the contestants on the 200th floor. It just might be a bit tricky.

Luo Lin chose a third option.

Self-study.

He would unlock Nen on his own.

Although in the Hunter manga, the audience saw Gon and Killua forcibly learn Nen, another method was also hinted at.

It was through “spiritual cultivation.”

Although Wing had been brushing off Gon and Killua at the time, he wasn’t entirely wrong; he was pointing out the foundation of learning Nen.

Spiritual will!

The proper way to learn Nen was through methods like meditation and spiritual exercises to train one’s willpower, gradually becoming aware of life energy, and step by step, unlocking the body’s aura nodes. This was the proper way to learn Nen.

By using spiritual will to sense life energy and then using that energy to unlock the aura nodes, releasing the life energy inside, and wrapping it around the body, this was the process of learning Nen.

Although Luo Lin didn’t have Wing’s meditation or spiritual methods, finding some simple meditation techniques online wasn’t difficult.

With his mental strength, Luo Lin believed he could learn Nen on his own.

However…

It might take some time.

Luo Lin had actually started trying to unlock Nen through meditation since the fourth test, but ten days later, he still hadn’t quite found the right feeling.

Still…

If he leveled up one more time, Luo Lin was confident that, even without guidance, he could quickly master Nen.

So…

“Found it!”

Luo Lin’s eyes fell on a corner of the map, where a forest was marked.

It was labeled with a warning about wild beasts and danger, advising people to stay away.

For Luo Lin, there was no need to worry about wild beasts.

Using more money he had taken from other examinees, he bought a tent and some outdoor equipment, then headed straight for the forest.
