Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 320 Killua Asking for a Beating

Killua developed his Transmutation ability in just one night.

When Gon learned about this, he kept complaining that Killua was too cunning, while racking his brains to figure out the direction for developing his abilities.

Moro was not surprised at all.

His teaching method is completely different from Yun Gu's approach in the original work, which only touches on the subject. Instead, he devotes all his efforts to exploring Gon and Killua's talents.

After laying a more solid foundation, coupled with systematic theoretical instruction...

With Killua's exceptional talent, it was only natural that he would develop his own unique abilities.

But what Moro didn't expect was—

Under these many influences, Xiao Jie quickly decided on the direction for developing his abilities.

Perhaps because he had already mastered the use of "Zhou", he naturally thought of developing his abilities around the "fishing rod".

Thus, in this healthy competitive environment, Killua and Gon's abilities once again entered a phase of rapid development.

Another month passed quickly.

Mid June.

Killua's Nen system, centered on electricity, has basically taken shape.

Even when he was receiving theoretical guidance, he had already clearly defined the direction of his abilities.

Based on the conversion of Nen into electricity, various attack methods were developed, and electrical enhancements were used to strengthen bodily functions.

To achieve this goal, he would have to move the Nen system to the center of the Transmutation and Enhancement systems.

He firmly believed he could do it.

Because of the cultivation methods, amount of cultivation, living environment, and even the influence on the mind and body that Moro mentioned, based on his experience from childhood to adulthood, it is very much in line with the ability to transform Nen into electricity that has now been developed.

So Killua really did it.

In just one month, thanks to his extraordinary training, he efficiently mastered the use of both abilities, fixing his Nen system at the center point.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood.

The talent gap that Morrow mentioned earlier was not a humble statement.

After all, he only took a month to achieve the same result, while Moro took a year and a half.

Although he personally experienced the time difference brought about by talent, Killua's respect for Moro remained undiminished.

At the same time, it did not prevent him from requesting real combat training from Morrow in order to test the effectiveness of the training.

"Are you sure you want... um, you want real combat training?"

Upon hearing Killua make this request, Moro, though surprised, confirmed it aloud.

Killua, his eyelids drooping, said irritably, "Teacher, were you just saying you were asking for a beating?"

"No."

Moro denied it without batting an eye.

Killua let out a soft snort, clearly certain that Moro had intended to say that word, but had simply changed his mind in time.

He raised his right hand, his Nen energy instantly transforming into leaping arcs of electricity that flowed through his fingertips. He confidently raised his chin: "Although I've only been training for a month, I'm certain of one thing: I'm very strong now!"

"I see it."

Moro sincerely praised, "To have cultivated your abilities to this level in just one month is truly amazing."

Beside him, Gon looked at the arc of electricity on Killua's palm with admiration in his eyes.

During this time, he watched as Killua rapidly perfected his ability system, and even went to ask him for tips.

Killua's answer was that he had undergone various forms of sadistic, hellish training since childhood, including electric shocks that he had to endure since birth.

Because of his physical abilities, which far surpass those of his peers, he was able to adopt a mode of operation that uses electricity to enhance his physical functions.

After understanding why Killua could so quickly perfect his ability system, Gon not only felt admiration but also realized his own advantage: his mastery of the four great powers, especially the ultimate one...

Nevertheless, Gon's mastery of his abilities is not as rapid as Killua's.

They were even confident enough to ask Moro for real combat training.

Killua was eager to try, after all, he had been holding back for a month!

Seeing how eager Killua was to find... well, Moro naturally couldn't refuse.

He guessed that Killua had probably developed the ability of "Godspeed".

The ability to convert Nen into electricity is already extremely rare.

Furthermore, Killua can also extend this ability to withstand electricity with his body, thereby pushing his physical functions beyond their limits.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called the most talented genius in the history of the Zoldyck family.

Soon, on a wide-open, flat area.

Morrow and Killua stood several meters apart.

Xiao Jie stood on the edge of the field, watching the upcoming live-fire training session.

Moro picked up a small stone from the ground, casually held it up, and said, "The competition will begin when it lands, is that alright?"

"it is good!"

Killua nodded, his expression becoming extremely focused.

Moro sensed an unprecedented level of seriousness from the boy's focus.

As for why he behaved this way...

It must be because of those experiences during the Hunter Test, right?

If you abandon your friends and family out of fear, the root cause is your own lack of ability.

Then work harder than anyone else to become stronger, so strong that no matter what kind of powerful enemy you face, you won't have to back down because of insufficient strength.

Killua, that's probably what you're thinking.

Since you're so eager to prove...

Then I can't just do a perfunctory job.

Upon reading this, Moro flicked his fingertips, and the pebble flew into the air.

At this moment,

Their eyes followed the pebble that traced a parabola.

The moment the pebble hits the ground and makes a crisp sound—

"Zzz!" A blinding burst of electricity suddenly erupted around Killua, with countless arcs of electricity coursing across his body, as if he were enveloped in a dazzling white light.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer speed with which Killua activates his telekinesis is enough to demonstrate the immense effort he has put in.

at the same time.

Moro also decisively used his ability to condense starlight, and the Nen energy surrounding him suddenly transformed into thousands of starlight, with dazzling Nen energy points instantly covering the entire area.

"Has your hair changed...?"

Noticing the difference between Killua's ability form and what he had expected, a look of understanding flashed in Moro's eyes. He thought to himself, "After all, it's only been a month. It's already impressive that he can perfect the system."

At this moment, Killua launched the first attack.

Swish!
With the enhancement of electrical technology, Killua truly achieved lightning speed, leaving only an electric arc at the moment of startup.

The next instant, he appeared beside Moro, crackling with electricity, and thrust his hand, wreathed in arcs of electricity, forward.

When Xiao Jie, who was watching from the sidelines, saw this scene, his pupils contracted sharply.

So fast!

Xiao Jie's eyes widened.

Inside the venue.

The attack, which was as fast as lightning, could not outpace the speed at which the starlight could read the information.

Killua's attack was already in Moro's mind. He simply pushed off the ground and retreated, easily avoiding Killua's palm strike.

Even as he retreated, he glanced sideways at Killua.

Their eyes met in the swift exchange of attacks and defenses.

Morrow's composure and Killua's sharpness form a stark contrast.

"Not fast enough..."

Despite his overconfident attack missing its mark, Killua remained unaffected, his mind solely focused on fighting with all his might.

Seeing that Moro had no intention of defending or counterattacking, he exerted all his strength to activate his abilities and mobilize his body's functions to the maximum.

Zila——!
A slight noise was heard in the air.

Killua transformed into a bolt of lightning, just as his superhuman speed was named, as he swiftly pursued Moro, who had just regained his footing.

Immediately,

In that moment when time seemed to slow down, he saw Moro close his eyes.

Ignoring the shock that welled up inside him, the attack, crackling with electric arcs, followed his instincts and arrived in front of Moro.

However, Morrow seemed to be able to anticipate Killua's lightning-fast, continuous attacks, and with a few well-timed maneuvers, he perfectly evaded the attacks.

"...!"

Killua was shocked, and his body, which had been moving as fast as lightning, suddenly froze.

It wasn't so much shock that he was stunned, but rather the sudden appearance of golden chains that bound him to the spot.

Moro then opened his eyes, and the lightning reflected in his pupils from Killua was quickly replaced by dazzling starlight.

"Blitzkrieg"

Morro instantly closed in, his long, pointed fingertips lightly touching Killua's neck.

Because the attack was landed using lightning strikes, the golden chains hadn't even dissipated yet.

"Finish."

Moro withdrew his hand.

At that moment, the golden chains binding Killua's body suddenly collapsed.

Killua was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting it to end so quickly.

Is this really the level that ordinary talent can achieve?
Killua couldn't help but have doubts again, and at the same time, the words that Moro had said flashed through his mind.

A person's talent determines their potential, but there is no limit to their willpower...

Seeing the combat training end in this way, Xiao Jie felt a surge of inexplicable emotions.

He silently gripped the fishing rod in his hand, as if he could sense an invisible longing.

After the battle, Killua was not discouraged; instead, he became even more determined.

He fought against Morrow repeatedly, attempting to find a breakthrough.

However, he still couldn't touch Moro even after his "battery" ran out.

"That's already incredibly impressive."

Morrow commented on Killua's performance.

Killua couldn't tell whether this was a consolation or an encouragement.

Another day of training has come to an end.

Night fell over Whale Island.

After nearly half a year of training, Moro felt he had almost finished, so after dinner he took out the box he had asked Mitt for beforehand.

This box, inscribed with the character for "god," was left by Ging for Gon, and it is also the key item that guides Gon to Greed Island.

"This is Jin's money for you."

Seeing that Gon was curious about the box, Morrow explained the box's origin to Demeter.

Gon was immediately surprised and couldn't wait to examine the box with Killua.

Moro didn't disturb them and quietly left the room.

Just before returning to the hotel, he encountered Mitsu, who had been waiting for him at the entrance.

Holding the lunchbox, she smiled as she always had, saying, "We didn't use up all the ingredients again today."

Then she added, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

She knew about all that Morrow had done for Xiao Jie during this time, and she also realized that Morrow was preparing to leave.

"Thank you."

Moro smiled and accepted the lunchbox.

The evening breeze carries the warmth of June.

Mitt tucked her hair, which was being tousled by the evening breeze, and smiled as she looked at the man before her.
