Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 341 Moro, he's truly terrifying.
Judging from Leizha's reaction, he clearly prefers to increase the difficulty.

If he's determined to use those death row inmates to wear down Xiao Jie's main force...

So next time we come to challenge, we can't just find some players to fill the ranks; we need to assemble a team of fifteen people, all of whom are experts.

But such things are easier said than done.

Juezi Jue La and the others gradually felt the pressure.

Putting aside Leizana's identity as the game's producer and his astonishing abilities, the most difficult part of this level is that the player can only unilaterally obey any rules proposed by the other party.

Just as Leiza decided to increase the difficulty for the group of players in front of him, Xiao Jie, who was completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere, suddenly stepped forward.

He stared intently at Leizha and said seriously, "Let's begin, Leizha! It's still an eight-on-eight dodgeball game!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Previously, their roster had a very low ceiling, and Leiza saw this, so he gave them a chance just for fun.

But now that they've clearly noticed the significant strengthening of their roster, how could they possibly agree to an eight-on-eight dodgeball match right away?

Meeting Xiao Jie's determined gaze, Lei Zha asked with a smile, "So, will you be the one to initiate the challenge this time?"

"Xiao Jie, wait..."

"That's right!"

Killua and Gon's voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Seeing that Gon readily agreed, Killua couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

It's important to know that, according to the game rules, if the player who initiates the challenge fails, they will permanently lose their eligibility to challenge.

In the previous challenge, it was only thanks to Jue Zi Jue La's cunning and shrewdness that he arranged for those players who were just there to fill the ranks to initiate the challenge, which preserved the main members' right to challenge.

Now that Xiao Jie has issued a direct challenge, if Lei Zha uses a series of attacks to wear down their skilled players, they definitely won't be able to win the subsequent eight-on-eight dodgeball match.

As a result, Xiao Jie will be unable to participate in the next challenge.

Zezilla and Gorenu naturally thought of the same thing, and like Killua, they felt helpless.

Hisoka glanced at Gon, his expression revealing an interest in him.

Only Moro had a slight smile on his lips.

If someone else had made such abrupt demands and challenges, Leizha would certainly not have accepted them head-on, but would have adopted a more reasonable and efficient approach.

But what if this person is Xiao Jie...?

The result was different.

Moro could almost foresee what was to come.

Lei Zha stared at Xiao Jie's determined and serious expression, and couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke his chin, inexplicably thinking of Jin's previous instructions.

If I don't accept your challenge, then it's me who...

Have you backed down?
Upon reaching this point, a dangerous smile suddenly appeared on Lei Zha's face, and at the same time, the Nen energy around him surged into the sky like a fiercely burning flame.

Against this powerful aura, his strong physique seemed like a demon emerging from flames.

"Okay, I accept your challenge."

Leizha smiled and accepted Xiao Jie's challenge.

Although his aura was only aimed at Xiao Jie in front of him, the aftershocks alone were enough to fill the faces of the players who came to make up the numbers with fear.

Even Juezi Jue La and Golenu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"This must be his true full-power state!"

What is presented before us is Lei Zha's peak state before he has separated his mental power to materialize his mental beast.

Killua's pupils contracted as he looked at Leiza's fierce and menacing aura.

Xiao Jie was the first to feel the weight on his shoulders, and a few beads of sweat immediately slid down his cheeks.

However, he did not back down at all, and his gaze toward Leizha remained firm and earnest.

Sensing Leiza's aura, Hisoka became slightly excited, while Moro was more focused on assessing Leiza's level.

Leizha saw everyone's reactions and, seeing that Xiaojie remained as determined as ever, grinned again.

That's why he accepted the challenge in vain.

After the competition events were determined, both sides immediately selected their participants.

Leizha directly materialized eight humanoid Nen beasts numbered from 0 to 7, among which the dwarf Nen beast numbered 0 was the referee.

Besides himself, the participants on Morro's side are: Gon, Killua, Zetsu Zetsu, Gorenu, Dobron, Hisoka, and Gorenu's Nen beast, Black Sage.

In just a short while, both sides were on the field.

Leiza assigned his No. 1 Nen beast to the sidelines, while Xiaojie's side had Golenu's Nen beast, Black Sage, as their off-field opponent.

However, in this dodgeball game, Leiza did not arrange a jump ball to compete for possession of the ball, but instead directly served as the first team to serve.

No one objected to this approach.

Or,

Even if they disagree, it won't change anything.

Referee Number 0 arrived at the center of the arena and said, "I am Referee Number 0. Nice to meet you. Now, let the match begin."

After speaking, the No. 0 Nen Beast immediately retreated to the sidelines, keeping a close eye on both sides inside the arena.

On the left side of the field, six humanoid spirit beasts of different shapes lined up in a row, with Lei Zha standing in the very center.

He held the ball in one hand, a dangerous smile on his face, and suddenly tossed it with an extremely wide arc.

With the force of its taut, bulging muscles, the right arm, swung like a windmill, launched the volleyball out.

In an instant, with a dull whistling sound, the high-speed spinning volleyball flew straight towards Xiao Jie on the opposite court.

"!!!"

The game began with a relentless, all-out throw, and all the onlookers could see was the powerful energy wrapped around the volleyball.

Killua, standing next to Gon, didn't even have time to say a word of warning.

With his excellent dynamic vision, Xiao Jie judged the landing point of the volleyball, immediately crossed his hands, and gathered as much Nen as possible in his hands as quickly as possible, then protected his forehead.

Bang!
The volleyball, imbued with powerful Nen, slammed into Gon's hands, which were covering his forehead, creating a deafening sound that echoed throughout the entire arena.

The two concentrated energies collided violently in that instant.

next moment,
The volleyball, spinning at supersonic speed, bounced and shot towards the ceiling directly above, while the impact sent Xiao Jie flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground before bouncing back up.

squeak--

After being thrown to the ground, Xiao Jie quickly adjusted his posture while rolling around and got up to steady himself, but the lingering impact still pushed him a distance.

Fortunately, thanks to his skillful Nen technique, although he failed to catch the ball, he was not injured.

The volleyball just bounced away.

If it's simply embedded in the ceiling, then according to the rule that the ceiling is an extension of the floor, Xiao Jie will be eliminated on the spot.

But at that moment, the Nen energy on Moro's right foot suddenly increased significantly.

"Flying Star Leap"

A cross-shaped star appeared out of thin air on the ceiling.

This is the exact spot where the volleyball will land.

As the starlight rippled, a psychic bullet shot out vertically, hitting the volleyball precisely.

A sharp cracking sound rang out.

The volleyball, struck by the telekinetic bullet, seemed to instantly lose all its strength, spinning backward and floating lightly back onto the court.

Moro was prepared and easily caught the volleyball as it fell freely.

"..."

Suddenly, the room fell silent.

Whether it was the death row inmates on Leiza's side or the others on the field like Juezi Jue La, they all looked at Moro, who had hit the ball back in the blink of an eye and caught it precisely.

It all happened so fast.

By the time they realized what was happening, Moro had already defused the crisis.

"It must be a 'spirit bullet'... It can actually fall from the sky, and the timing is incredibly precise. But what's even more terrifying is his judgment and prediction of the power. In such a short time, he can calculate the force that will just be enough to gently bounce the volleyball off."

Gorenu stared wide-eyed at Moro in disbelief.

In that brief moment, they barely had time to react.

But Morrow not only responded promptly, but also had the leeway to control his power flawlessly.

If the projectile is slightly more powerful, the volleyball may bounce back at a faster speed in an unpredictable direction, making it exponentially more difficult to receive.

Conversely, if the force is slightly weaker, even if the trajectory of the volleyball can be changed, the ball will only be deeply embedded in the ceiling, merely changing its position.

Is this really something that humans can do?
Gorenu was deeply shaken.

He could see these details, and so could Juezjuela. "This person... is terrifying."

Juezi Jue La's eyes trembled as she looked at Moro.

The level of Nen depends on each user's physical condition; some improve rapidly, while others can only progress slowly, step by step.

Anyway, as time goes by, the level and strength of Nen will naturally increase.

However, the understanding and even the ability to control one's mind cannot be honed simply by time.

Moreover, Moro only took two years...

Juzjue La couldn't imagine how much thought and effort Moro had put into this during this period.

At that moment, his only feeling was that he could never reach a height in his life from Moreau's terrifyingly delicate skills.

On the opposite side of the field.

Leizha looked up at the perfectly intact ceiling.

"So it's the Emission System."

He had seen the fleeting cross-shaped starlight very clearly.

"Indeed, it's not simple at all."

Leiza withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Moro, who was holding the ball.

Although it wasn't clear how Moro created the psychic projectile channel directly in the ceiling, one thing is certain...

Regardless of the conditions for activating the ability, this person's ability can be released very quickly.

Their understanding of thought is also frighteningly advanced.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this level of achievement.

If Morelos knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say: They've been studying the word "god" day and night, practically burning their brains out. How could their understanding not be profound?

It is important to understand that each time one draws the character "神" (divine), it is equivalent to imprinting one's own abilities into the structure of the character.

This is equivalent to constantly honing one's fundamental abilities.

Leiza stared at Moro, then glanced at the unharmed Xiao Jie out of the corner of his eye.

"They defended very well."

He went for that shot with the intention of killing Xiao Jie.

If Xiao Jie hesitated even slightly when mobilizing his Nen, the power contained in the ball would be enough to turn his brain into mush.

The fact that Xiao Jie was able to neutralize all the power shows that he has a high level of proficiency in Nen techniques.

At least be able to coordinate with physical movements smoothly and freely.

"It seems... I can't afford to be careless in today's match."

Lei Zha's thoughts raced, but the smile on his lips gradually widened.

It's been a long time since I've felt my blood boiling...

This made him somewhat restless.

The field on the right.

Xiao Jie walked off the field with a look of resentment.

Seeing this, the referee, number 0, asked, "Xiao Jie, are you going to forfeit your right to play?"

"what?"

Xiao Jie stopped and looked at the referee on the sidelines, puzzled, "I didn't receive the ball. According to the rules, I'm already out, right?"

"???"

Not only were the referees baffled, but Killua and the others were also completely confused.

Killua strode over and glared at Gon, saying, "You didn't catch it, but the teacher did. You still don't understand the rules?"

"I understand, it's about catching the ball and dodging it."

Xiao Jie doesn't seem to understand what's going on.

Killua asked, "Anything else?"

"what?"

Xiao Jie was somewhat bewildered.

"..."

Killua paused for a moment, then poked Gon's head with his index finger and shouted, "The bounce rule means that if you get hit by the ball, as long as your teammate catches the ball in the inner court, you won't be out!"

"So that's it."

Xiao Jie suddenly realized, "Because the teacher caught the ball, I don't have to be eliminated."

As he spoke, he looked at Moro with some excitement.

"..."

Moro had wanted to praise Gon's leap forward in his reading skills, but now he was speechless.

However, perhaps because of his involvement, the rules weren't analyzed in depth during the competition, as in the original work.

Leiza readily accepted Xiaojie's challenge, and in response, immediately went for the kill right from the start...

So much so that Xiao Jie still hasn't figured out the rules of the body rebound system.

Are you going to serve?

Moro held the ball, looked at his teammates on the field, and politely asked a question.

That's too polite. Juezijue and their manners are impeccable; they would never agree to that.

Moreover, they knew that Moro was an Emission type player with such strong abilities, making him the most suitable server.

"I~"

Hisoka raised his hands and started climbing up the pole with a clatter.

"..."

Juezi and the others looked at Hisoka with slight surprise.

Hisoka ignored this and stared intently at Moro.

You can't be the only one performing!

Moro, his eyelids drooping, couldn't stand Hisoka's gaze any longer, so he tossed the ball over.

Hisoka caught the ball and said with a smile, "Thanks~"

As she spoke, she activated her flexible love ability, enveloping the entire ball in pink thoughts.

"first of all……"

Hisoka casually targeted the second Nen beast, then his arm holding the ball swelled up and he threw the ball over with a thud.

Bang!
The volleyball hit the head of the No. 2 Nian Beast precisely.

Under the immense force, the head of the second Nen Beast suddenly exploded, and its entire body vanished into thin air in an instant.

The volleyball bounced off and flew into the air.

Hisoka smiled slightly.

Actually, he would have preferred to score the first goal against Leiza.

But that's based on—

Lei Zha needs to retrieve all the Nen Beasts to be at his peak condition.

So before that, Hisoka plans to destroy all the Nen beasts.

"Love that can stretch and contract"

Hisoka then activated his ability to retrieve the volleyball.

however,
Just at this moment.

Lei Zha leaped into the air and scooped the volleyball down with one hand, holding it steadily in his hand.

"..."

Hisoka tugged at the pink adhesive thread, but couldn't budge it an inch.

That volleyball seemed to be welded to Leizha's hand.

"Ala."

Hisoka glanced at his companions around him, giving them an innocent look.

"..."

While everyone remained silent, there was no indication of blame.

Hisoka's strategy was sound, but Leza was just too fierce.
