Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 342 Moro, watch closely.

Hisoka wanted to experience Leza at his peak.

Therefore, his response to the ball thrown by the Nian Beast was swift, ruthless, and accurate, leaving no room for error.

But he underestimated Leiza's level of focus.

With Moro's involvement and the strength he displayed, Leiza took this match even more seriously and naturally wouldn't be careless.

If it were Leiza from the first match, Hisoka might have succeeded.

Possession returned to Leiza.

He held the ball in one hand, his slightly narrowed eyes slowly scanning the opposite side of the field.

Sensing the gaze directed at them by Leiza, everyone except Moro and Hisoka was on high alert.

Especially Xiao Jie, who directly confronted Lei Zha's serve.

Although he managed to neutralize the power at the last moment using his Nen technique, the physical sensations do not lie.

Leiza's serve is so powerful that a slight misstep can result in serious injury or even death on the spot.

Just then, the referee, number 0, said, "When a contestant is unable to continue the match due to severe injury, they must withdraw from the match. Judging from the result, contestant number 2 cannot return to the field."

Leizha remained unmoved by the referee's verdict, clearly having been mentally prepared for the outcome.

Killua, Zephyr, and Gorenu all had a change in expression, unable to help but show surprise.

They also thought that under the "rebound system" rule, since Leiza caught the ball, he could redistribute Nen and re-manifest Nen Beast No. 2.

I never expected there was a rule about leaving the game due to serious injury...

But upon closer examination, it does make some sense.

After all, serious injury or death on the spot would indeed prevent them from continuing the match.

The problem is that Leizha's side is full of Nen beasts.

If this rule is not set...

Lei Zha could simply re-manifest the Nian Beast naturally.

In other words, this rule is unfavorable to Leizha.

However, Leiza still enforced the rule fairly.

It gives the impression of saying—

See, that's how the rules are, so if you get hit by the ball and die or become crippled, you can only blame yourself for not being good enough.

"..."

Therefore, the departure of the second Nen Beast was not a pleasant surprise, but rather a wake-up call for Juezi Jue La and others.

From this perspective, the risk of catching the ball is significantly higher than the risk of dodging it.

Moreover, even if you manage to dodge Leiza's serve, as long as the ball lands outside the court, possession will always return to Leiza.

This also means that if we don't confront the problem head-on, it's no different from a slow death.

"Whether we can get possession of the ball depends on who Leiza's next target is." (Juez Jue La)

"On our side, in terms of the strength and skill of our abilities... Moro is undoubtedly the strongest among us, while Leiza's duty is to guard the pass. In order to ensure the success rate, he will most likely not attack Moro." Gorenu.

"So, who will he target this time?" Juezi Jue La.

"With the boost of super speed, dodging the ball isn't difficult, but catching it... can I do that?" Killua asked.

"Should we remain fixated on Xiao Jie, or choose to avoid the strong and attack the weak..." Dobru.

"If I were the target, could I dodge it?" Gorenu asked.

Faced with the palpable pressure from Leizana, Killua, Gorenu, Zezzella, and Dobrus all tensed up, their thoughts racing.

While Killua was calculating whether he could catch the ball, the others were more concerned with whether they could safely dodge it.

Leizha didn't give them much time to think.

When the referee signaled for the game to continue, Leiza suddenly swung his arm again.

This time, however, his throwing motion was not an over-the-shoulder throw, but rather like scooping the moon from the bottom of the sea, swinging his arm to draw an arc from bottom to top, and then throwing the volleyball infused with strong intention.

Instantly, the volleyball, enveloped in powerful Nen energy, shot towards Hisoka like a meteor.

Even with bright spheres of energy swirling around the sphere, its terrifying rotational speed was still visible.

"Ok?"

As the volleyball flew through the air, Hisoka quickly mobilized his Nen, preparing to catch the ball head-on and regain possession.

however,
Just as the volleyball was about to hit Hisoka, it suddenly veered off course in mid-air, darting past him and instead heading straight for Killua, who was nearby.

"Am I the target...?!"

Killua's pupils contracted sharply, but fortunately he was prepared to react at any moment, and in an instant, his whole body crackled with electricity.

Using this sudden boost in ability, Killua retreated at the last second to dodge the ball.

However, while successfully dodging the ball, Killua glanced out of the corner of his eye at the direction the volleyball had flown.

That position was none other than Dobru.

wrong,

And Juezi Jue La is also on the same trajectory!

Because they had worked together for many years, they habitually stood very close together.

This habit is usually to enable rapid support for the other party in case of emergencies.

But this match actually showed Leiza the possibility of a series of victories.

Faced with the powerful volleyball coming from a corner, Dobru instinctively turned to the side, driven by a strong sense of crisis.

The work of flies.

This is a warning-type visualization capability developed by Dobroo, which can identify potential dangers in advance on radar.

The fact that Dobru was able to develop this ability demonstrates his high sensitivity to crises.

It was precisely because he sensed the impending danger that Dobru's timely sidestepping action pulled him back from the brink of death.

call out--!
The volleyball grazed past Dobru and continued its trajectory toward Juezijuela.

"Using force won't work, it's too late...!"

Juz-Jue-La lacked the early warning ability of Dobrew, simply because he was the furthest from the ball, thus having room to react.

But over the years, he has long been accustomed to taking a cautious approach, never putting himself or his team in danger.

As a result, the combat instincts that can only be honed in crises have long since degenerated to the point of being beyond the red line.

Being a step behind in rhythm can sometimes be quite fatal!
Juezi Jue La couldn't buy more time; all he could do was mobilize as much energy as possible for defense.

Bang!
The volleyball slammed into Juezi Jue La's arm with tremendous force.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the stadium.

Juezi Jue La's features were slightly distorted, and his eyes trembled violently as he looked at the arm that had been struck.

He could feel a force like an electric drill spinning wildly in his arm, pushing his fractured arm and slamming it against his ribs.

“Damn it…”

When Juezi Juelai sensed the nature of that impact, the thought flashed through his mind that even at the cost of serious injury, he would hold the volleyball directly against his body.

But reason nipped that thought in the bud.

In the midst of excruciating pain, he mustered his last strength and released the force he had used to resist the power of the volleyball.

next moment,
Juezi Jue La's body fell heavily to the ground, tilted, like a weight that had been dropped.

The volleyball, however, flew horizontally out of bounds.

"grumble."

The No. 1 Nian Beast, responsible for the outer field, is in position and ready to receive the ball.

"Zezizela!"

Dobru's expression changed drastically as he watched Juezi Jue La get severely injured by the volleyball.

He collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. Hearing Dobroo's cry, his first reaction, despite the excruciating pain, was to call out, "Look, look at the ball..."

"Ok?"

Dobru suddenly looked up at the sideline and saw that the number 1 Nian Beast had caught the ball and was throwing it over with all its might.

"No, I can't dodge it... If it were this ball, I should..."

Dobru's eyes widened, and he raised his hands to meet the volleyball.

Snapped!
The high-speed spinning volleyball slipped between Dobru's hands.

"Huh!? Even the Nen Beast's serve is this powerful... No, it's because Lei Zha's Qi is still lingering on the volleyball..."

When Dobru's hands touched the fierce force transmitted from the volleyball, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

That powerful force tore through Dobru's defenses like the claws of a ferocious beast.

Bang!
The volleyball knocked his hands away and slammed into Dobru's face, sinking deep into it like a shot put.

Dobru was struck so hard that he lost consciousness on the spot and flew backward.

The volleyball that knocked him unconscious bounced off and flew back towards the No. 1 Nian Beast on the outer court.

"Jiji."

The cry of the No. 1 Nian Beast seemed to contain a hint of mockery.

But at that moment, Moro's figure appeared out of thin air in front of the No. 1 Nen Beast.

"grumble?!"

The number 1 Nen Beast tilted its head slightly.

With his back to it, Moro reached out and intercepted the volleyball that was supposed to fly into the hands of the No. 1 Nen Beast.

off the field.

When referee number 0 saw that Moro had caught the ball steadily, he immediately declared, "Player Juezi Jue La is out."

Because the volleyball that hit Juezjuela was caught by the No. 1 Nen Beast on the outer court, Juezjuela was eliminated from that moment on and could only retreat to the outer court.

However, judging from his injury, he is clearly unable to continue the match.

After announcing Juezi Juela's elimination, Referee Number 0 immediately looked at Dobru, who was lying unconscious on the ground. "If Dobru cannot wake up, he must be removed from the arena."

As he spoke, Referee Number 0 turned his gaze to Moro and the others on the right side of the arena, raised a finger, and said:
"You now have two options: one, do not provide treatment, and if Dobru can regain consciousness naturally during the match, he can decide for himself whether to return to the field."

The referee then raised his second finger and continued, "Second, immediate medical attention is required, but this will be considered a serious injury requiring removal from the field and disqualification from the competition."

"We choose option two."

Moro glanced at Dobru's deeply sunken face and clearly could only accept the option of getting treatment as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the referee nodded and waved for the death row inmates to come and treat Dobru. Then his gaze turned to Juezijue, who was struggling to get up.

"The athlete, Juezi Jue La, is seriously injured. According to the rules, if he is unable to continue the competition due to injury, he must leave the field."

"..."

Juezi Jue La gritted his teeth and walked off the field without saying a word.

The other two members of his team ran over to Dobru to check on the situation, and the other ran over to help Juzjula up.

Killua, Gon, and Gorenu watched as Zetsu and Zetsu were helped off the field, and then looked at Dobrus, who was being treated.

"We need to be careful not only of Leizha's serves, but also of the Nen beasts on the outside!"

Seeing Dobru's miserable state, Gorenu broke out in a cold sweat, gaining a deeper understanding of how terrifying Leiza was.

Killua glanced at Leiza on the opposite side with a serious expression, then looked at Morrow and thought to himself, "Fortunately, the teacher intercepted the ball and prevented Leiza from regaining possession."

"..."

Thinking about what had just happened, Xiao Jie's face hardened with anger.

Hisoka, on the other hand, had his eye on the volleyball in Moro's hand.

It was just a momentary lapse in concentration.

If given another chance, he can definitely destroy Lei Zha's other Nen Beasts one by one.

Moro ignored Hisoka's demanding gaze and walked to the center of the arena.

After confirming that both injured players had left the field, the referee shouted, "The game continues."

at this time.

The personnel information for both sides is as follows:

Leiza's team has six players on the inside and one player on the outside.

Xiao Jie's team has five players inside and one player outside.

In a normal dodgeball game, a player who is eliminated from the inside of the court should go to the opponent's outside sideline to assist in the attack.

However, both sides were extremely aggressive.

Whether it's Leiza's No. 2 Nian Beast or Xiaojie's Juezi Jue La and Duo Bulu, once they are hit by the volleyball, they will lose the ability to continue the game on the spot.

On the sidelines, Juezi Jue La was helped by his teammates to sit against the wall. He punched the wall with a look of resentment on his face, and then looked at Moro on the field.

"We can only rely on you guys..."

He thought in his mind.

Inside the venue.

Moro didn't rush to serve, waiting for the cooldown of "Blitz" to end.

Because the treatment of Dobru and Zezzeira took some time, it won't be long before they leave the field.

"Gon, Killua."

Moro, holding the ball in one hand, suddenly shouted.

"Ok?"

Gon and Killua immediately looked over.

Sensing the gazes of the two children, Moro kept his eyes fixed on Leizha across the field and calmly said, "Watch closely."

The voice has not fallen,

Moro quickly mobilized all his manifested energy, and the energy rapidly gathered on the volleyball like a rushing river, emitting a bright burst of energy.

Immediately afterwards, the swirling energy wrapped around the volleyball expanded and grew larger, like a balloon.

Under the pull of the flow of energy, visible white vortexes swirled around.

But the next moment,
The swollen and expanding mass of thoughts began to shrink again.

Or,

It is based on precise control to compress mass!

As the energy ball shrank, the color of the energy suddenly changed to fluorescent green.

"Tsk..."

Leizha slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of admiration.

Gon and Killua also stared wide-eyed at Morrow's Nen control.

Under the varied gazes of the crowd, Moro finished gathering his energy and immediately threw it towards Leiza.

The volleyball, enveloped in fluorescent green aura, tore through the air like a cannonball, hurtling straight at Lei Zha with overwhelming force!

"I can't catch this ball, but..."

Lei Zha's eyes narrowed, and he made a decision in an instant.

He suddenly took a step forward, lowered his waist, clasped his hands together, and rapidly condensed his spiritual energy in his hands.

at the same time.

The larger Nen Beasts, No. 6 and No. 7, rushed over as if prepared, blocking Lei Zha's lower body from the left and right, providing him with stable support.

"boom!!"

The next instant, the volleyball, imbued with fierce psychic power, collided violently with Leizana's hands, which were brimming with powerful psychic energy.

Two surging energies clashed violently and burst apart.

In an instant, it transformed into a shockwave that spread outwards in all directions.

The terrifying impact that followed sent Lei Zha flying, while the two spirit beasts that had been supporting his lower body tumbled far away like bowling balls.

After the force is neutralized, the volleyball flies straight into the air like a rocket.

Leiza's perfect timing and exquisite skills allowed him to deflect most of the mental energy from the volleyball, while also adjusting the angle of his body movements to ensure that the volleyball would only fly towards his own team's inner court.

"Hisoka, use your power!"

Inside the arena, Moro quickly spoke up to remind them.

Even without Moro's reminder, Hisoka knew what to do.

He quickly shot a pink string towards the volleyball in the air.

"A timely reminder, but... it was useless!"

Leiza's body tumbled twice in mid-air before landing steadily. He first glanced at the pink string that Hisoka had shot out, then looked up at the volleyball in the air.

As he looked, he saw that the number 3, 4, and 5 spirit beasts in the inner field had already leaped into the air like volleyballs.

Numbers 3 and 4 intentionally blocked the angle from which Hisoka could shoot the pink string, while number 5, the Nen beast, charged straight at the volleyball.

"Did you already anticipate that I would use my ability to steal the ball when you dissipated the force of the volleyball...?"

Hisoka narrowed his eyes and quickly stopped his ability.

If the flexible love directly hits the spirit beast, then that would be against the rules.

Having witnessed your abilities, how could I not be on guard?

Seeing Hisoka interrupt his ability, Leiza grinned.

In that instant, everyone present turned their gaze to the volleyball in the air.

"This person is incredibly strong, a complete monster!"

Gorenu was covered in cold sweat.

Just as the No. 5 Nen Beast was about to reach out and touch the volleyball, an unexpected change occurred.

The residual Nen energy on the volleyball suddenly doubled in size, and then it turned back and flew diagonally towards Moro on the opposite side of the court.

The Nen beasts number 3 and 4, originally intended to block Hisoka's abilities, happened to be on the volleyball's turning trajectory.

then--

Bang, bang!
The volleyball knocked aside the number 3 and number 4 spirit beasts in succession and flew towards Moro.

Morrow extended his right hand and effortlessly caught the volleyball that was flying back towards him.

This is the ability of the deceptive flying star.

He infused it into the volleyball.

In fact, from the moment he tossed the ball, he anticipated Leiza's response.

It's simply a matter of using force-dissipating techniques to keep the volleyball on the inside of the court, and then using the spirit beast to catch the ball.

The reason he specifically reminded Hisoka to use his ability to steal the ball was simply to ensure that Leiza would have the Nen beast guard against Hisoka's ability.

This would create an opportunity to use the reversal mechanism to kick at least one Nen Beast out of the game.

Referee number 0 looked at the ball in Moro's hand and raised his hand to declare, "Leiza, number 3, and number 4 are out!"

"..."

Leiza looked at Moro, a few beads of cold sweat sliding down his face, "Did you anticipate my response...?"

Perhaps it was a meeting of minds regarding this result—

Leiza and Hisoka exchanged a strange glance, then quickly looked away.

Inside the venue.

"The teacher is amazing!"

When Gon and Killua saw this, their eyes lit up.

Gorenu also looked at Moro with excitement.

"Fortunately... we also have a monster of equal strength on our side!"
