I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

The ability to think is something that resides in the heart and is closely related to each person's life experiences.

Learning early or late does not necessarily correlate with ultimate achievement.

Some people may lay a foundation from a young age and awaken at a young age, opening up all the pores of their body. However, they gradually become just ordinary people and fail to develop much.

Some people may only start learning in middle age, but because of the accumulation in the first half of their lives, they can soar to great heights once they awaken. This is the principle of "great accumulation leads to great success".

Kalluto knew that his older brother Illumi had planted a Nen needle in Killua's mind.

This must not be something that seriously affects Killua's brain, otherwise none of his parents and grandfather would allow it.

But it will inevitably have some impact on Killua.

Illumi wants to completely control Killua, and the rest of the family hopes that Killua can overcome the obstacles set by Illumi. If he succeeds, his future prospects will be truly limitless...

As Kurt pondered this, he silently ate his biscuit and took a sip of tea.

Suddenly, he heard a faint beeping sound coming from his mother's glasses.

The red dot on Kikyo's laser-like glasses flashed, and in her view, a surveillance camera was displayed on the screen, showing the scene at her doorstep at that very moment.

She will also receive a notification if someone pushes open the second trial gate or higher.

The surveillance footage showed three strangers.

They pushed open the three, four, and five trial gates respectively.

Kikyo glanced a few more times at the group of young men and women who had pushed open the fourth and fifth trial doors, especially the latter.

A black-haired girl wearing glasses.

This inevitably reminded her of her youth.

I have to say, this girl's temperament is somewhat similar to mine when I was a young girl.

The one who pushed open the third trial gate quickly left and came to the mountains.

Kikyo didn't say anything; she would check on these situations, but that didn't mean she would personally intervene. She didn't keep so many butlers and servants around just for show.

Given this person's skill level, they don't even need a formal butler; a trainee butler would probably be able to handle it properly.

……

The bounty hunter, Xi Kuan, who had been properly dealt with, returned with his head swollen like a pig's head, covered in wounds, and looking utterly dejected.

At the gate of trials, Jing Yang, who was playing with Sanmao, the watchdog as obedient as a puppy, glanced at him, turned to Jie Burong and asked, "Weren't you said you'd be treated as a guest?"

“This…” Jie Burong couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

"It's alright, I insisted on forcing my way in." His thin voice even whistled, probably because several teeth had been knocked out. His swollen eyes barely opened, revealing resentment and dejection. "She's just a little girl...much younger than you all, and I actually..."

Oh, I guess it was the trainee butler, Canaria, who beat him up.

That's the little housekeeper girl in the comics who beat Gon into a pig's head.

Jingyang thought to himself that although the process was slightly different, the outcome was still the same. This time, Xi Kuan did not bring a hundred or so underlings to the door, but he was still beaten half to death. The difference was that this time he did not have to act as a gatekeeper for the Zoldyck family in order to save his life. After all, he was a guest. Although it was not very polite to force his way in, he had already been beaten. The Zoldyck family would not be so shameless as to kill him.

This is a family of professional assassins; killing is a paid service, and you have to pay extra.

Having been beaten up like this by a 10-year-old girl, Xi Kuan's self-esteem and confidence were obviously greatly damaged. However, thanks to the blows from Jing Yang and Xiao Di, he didn't seem to doubt life to the point of giving up.

After leaving Kukuroku Mountain, they had a meal together at a restaurant in a nearby town. Xi Kuan then left alone in silence.

Jingyang and Xiaodi strolled around for an afternoon as if they were on a relaxing trip, and finally, on the way to the airport, they gazed at the outline of Mount Kukuro in the distance.

In the end, we didn't see a single Zoldyck.

This is normal. He has no connection with this assassin, and they wouldn't suddenly decide to meet a complete stranger who just walks through the door.

As for Killua, let alone whether that kid would have the time to pay attention to the movements at a small trial gate in the vast Kukuroo Mountain, Jing Yang didn't hold out much hope that Killua even remembered him. Anyone who has read the manga knows that, aside from his identity as a genius assassin, Killua is actually quite like an ordinary child, and sometimes quite childish.

For children, it's normal to forget about someone they only meet once at the Sky Arena after going home.

Killua is easy to deal with, but the difficult one is his "Wish Princess" Alluka, whose identity is unclear whether she's his younger brother or sister...

Even if it's just to leave himself a way out from the troubles in his heart, Jingyang has to find a way to connect with Alluka, the all-powerful wish-granting princess.

Strictly speaking, he knew more about Alluka's situation than anyone else in the Zoldyck family at this time, except for Killua.

Killua did not tell his family all the rules regarding Alluka's, or rather Nanika's, abilities.

Jing Yang, however, knew everything about it—at least he was clear about the part of Naniga's ability rules that had been revealed in the comics.

Nanika can be seen as a second personality hidden within Alluka, an alien life form residing in his body.

Once certain conditions are met, Naniga can grant any of your wishes.

Based on the comics Jingyang had read in his previous life, up to the latest point in time when the story was cut off, there was no indication that Naniga's ability to fulfill wishes had any limits.

It's very likely the kind of thing that can grant any wish...

In Jingyang's opinion, it's absurd that with such an ultimate and invincible wish-granting princess around, the entire Zoldyck family couldn't do anything about a small problem of dual personality and hadn't properly resolved it at all... Why don't you make a wish and give this child with dual personality the ability to create clones?

Furthermore, in the manga, Killua explicitly states how he learned about Naniga's power rules.

He made a wish directly to Nanika, asking Nanika to tell him the secret about Nanika herself...

Jingyang was a little confused. Was it really that hard to do it again?

The Zoldyck family is so clever, yet they never thought of learning from Killua's advanced experience and taking the opportunity to make a wish to Naniga, downloading a complete user manual for "Wishing Princess"?

As long as one fully understands the rules and makes good use of Naniga's abilities, there are ways to solve any problems, whether it's a split personality or something else.

The Zoldyck family's current solution is simply outrageous...

Jingyang shook his head inwardly, but precisely because of the Zoldyck family's outrageous actions, he was powerless to help even if he wanted to.

First, how did you come to know about Alluka?

He beat up the enemy and locked up Yalujia. How did outsiders know about him? Not to mention Jing Yang, an outsider, it is still unknown whether Killua still remembers his precious brother/sister...

At other times, it's fine if Jingyang does good deeds anonymously; we can just treat it as a fan's act of taking photos to commemorate the occasion.

But not this time.

If he wanted to help Alluka solve her problem, he had to let the Zoldycks know that he was the one who helped. Even if it wasn't to make them owe him a favor, at least it would establish a relationship and make it easier for them to ask for help in the future.

So we're back to where we started; he first needs to get to know Alluka.

Even Killua might not "know" Alluka, so how could he possibly know her?

If we follow the timeline of the manga, it will be about 5 to 6 years later, during the Chimera Ant arc, when Killua pulls out the Nen needle from his forehead and remembers that Alluka still exists in his family... At that time, I am confident that I can at least become acquainted with Killua and even Gon, but what I am not confident about is whether my heart condition can last until then.

"Time waits for us!"

Gazing at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the window, with the faint outline of the distant Kuku Lu Mountain visible beneath, Jing Yang let out a low sigh.

He and Xiao Di were already on the return airship.

Seeing his sentimental expression, Xiao Di was a little puzzled.

Jingyang then took her small hand and said earnestly, "Perhaps in the end we'll have to resort to our trump card."

"What?" Xiao Di asked, puzzled.

It's all about money!

Jingyang made up his mind: if all else fails, he'll just spend the money.

Why not just hire a Zoldyck?

My buddy's net worth is around two billion now, so hiring a Zoldyck assassin shouldn't be too much of a problem... right?

They specifically requested to hire your third son, Killua.

Even more directly, I specifically request your fourth child, Alluka!

...This is somewhat risky.

After hiring Killua, find an opportunity to complain to him that you wanted to hire Alluka but failed.

Killua will definitely ask then, "Oh, who is I, Alluka?" Oh right, Alluka is my sister, how could I forget?

Jingyang then seized the opportunity to exclaim in alarm, "You can forget your own brother? Could it be that someone has done something to your brain? Do you want me to take a look? Oh dear, I think there's a needle in your brain. Let me pull it out for you. Are you alright?"

Killua must be gritting his teeth. He knows about the Dragon Star Cluster, so how could he not know that his older brother Illumi plays with needles like Dongfang Bubai all day long? He can guess what his good older brother did to his brain!

Having done Killua such a huge favor, Killua certainly wouldn't treat me like an outsider. All I need to do is learn from another kid, Gon, and shamelessly go with Killua to the Zoldyck stronghold. "I'm Killua's friend, who am I afraid of? Hand over Alluka! Hand over Nanika! Alluka's life is important, Nanika's life is important!"

problem solved!

...His vision was so beautiful and smooth that Jingyang couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Little Di tilted her head to observe him.

Jing Yang pinched her cheek and sighed, "Continue your cultivation! He's too weak. He doesn't even dare to venture deep into the Kuku Lu Mountain. It's really embarrassing."

Even Xi Kuan dared to run into the mountains to find Zoldyck, but Jing Yang, who was stronger, stopped at the Trial Gate and didn't move.

Because he knew better than Sze-Kuen how terrifying those monsters in the Zoldyck's lair were.

Zig, Zeno, Silva, Kikyo, Illumi… every single one of them is inhumanly strong. Let alone them, even the nerdy second son Milluki might not be a match for him.

Most importantly, before these people were identified as experts in telepathy, they were first and foremost professional assassins.

The world's top professional assassins.

Faced with the lair of such a world-class assassin and a group of Nen users, Jing Yang would absolutely not take any risks without a certain level of self-protection ability.

Are we to entrust our lives to the Zoldycks' uncertain kindness or indifference?

If Jing Yang were alone, he might impulsively take a gamble. If he won, he'd make a fortune; if he lost, he might not die because of the Star Mark's protection... But he would never take Xiao Di with him.

Before his strength has improved to a level that satisfies him, Jing Yang will not recklessly take Xiao Di close to the depths of Kuku Lu Mountain. That would be like stretching his neck to get close, and whether the knife falls or not depends entirely on the Zoldyck's will. Who could stand that?

What kind of strength can be considered truly satisfying...?

I was planning to get a hunter's license early next year anyway, so I'll just ask Netero then.

As darkness fell, the airship landed at Sky City Airport.

Under the starry night sky, the Sky Arena stands tall and brightly lit like a torch in the distance.

Next, I will quietly cultivate myself and wait for the host's challenge to begin.

"Let's go." Jing Yang and Xiao Di held hands, carrying no backpacks or luggage, and easily headed towards the Sky Arena. At the same time, he used the A-ring to contact Kurapika. This kid wouldn't also trigger a quest chain, finding one pair of Scarlet Eyes and then finding out about the next pair, would he be so busy he'd never stop...?

The rock sparrows chirped and followed the two into the night.
