Like many others, Zheluo left the audience area with the flow of people, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
As for the loser, the former landlord, Monlinchi Zoro, who was knocked out with a single punch, half his body embedded in the ring, his blood soaking through the cracks in the bricks, was no longer noticed by the audience. Only the emergency medical personnel rushed onto the stage, carefully moving and clearing away the rubble around him, cleaning up the scene, and providing emergency treatment for his serious injury before gently lifting him onto a stretcher and taking him off the stage, completely out of place with the lively and boisterous atmosphere of the entire venue...
Jing Yang didn't look at that Yin Beast named Meng something again. After he left the arena, the referee came over and said a few words to him, basically telling him to rest well and then go through the procedures for taking over the position of the Lord of the Tower when he had time, such as the relevant matters of moving into the 244th floor - even the competition venue where they were at this moment could be used by Jing Yang as his personal training ground in the future.
The original poster's privileges are truly remarkable. Even if there's a competition, they have to give way and be reassigned to other empty venues first.
Jing Yang nodded and left through the contestant passage with Xiao Di.
Xiao Di was originally one of the 200 floor contestants. She didn't play many matches, but she still had the qualification, so she could freely enter and exit the backstage area.
The noise from the competition venue gradually faded away behind them, and Jingyang and Xiaodi arrived at the contestants' rest room.
Compared to the bustling scene on the lower level where many contestants of all kinds gathered, this floor's lounge was much emptier, practically Jingyang's private changing room.
“You’re the host now,” Xiao Di said.
“Yeah!” Jingyang sighed, hands on his hips. “Once you get it, it suddenly feels so boring!”
Little Drop tilted her head to look at him. Seeing that he was covered in dust and bloodstains, and his clothes were somewhat torn, she raised her hand and materialized a bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner, saying, "There's a shower here, go change your clothes."
"Alright."
Jingyang nodded.
He took a set of clean clothes from the bulging-eyed fish's mouth, turned around and went to the shower stall in the lounge. He quickly threw out his dirty clothes, which were then sucked away and disposed of by the bulging-eyed fish.
Swish!Swish!
The showerhead poured cold water over Jing Yang's head, the water flowing over the rose-gold pentagram pattern on the back of his neck, washing away the streaks of blood on his body, which then scattered around his feet with the water flow.
……
Purple Ape was lifted onto the operating table. As his body was moved, a half-fingernail-sized, rose-gold pentagram could be vaguely seen flashing past the inside of his elbow.
However, the purple ape that was carried into the emergency room on a stretcher did not receive emergency surgery.
The medical staff were shocked to discover that before they could even begin to treat the former homeowner, a quick check by various instruments revealed that he was almost fully recovered!
That's why the stretcher was brought in quickly; if it had been a little slower, you probably would have jumped out of bed yourself.
The doctors and nurses looked at each other, speechless.
Thanks to their extensive experience in the Sky Arena, they understood that these monsters and superhumans could not be viewed through the lens of common sense, and thus quietly left one after another, allowing the former host, Monlinch Zoro, to recuperate on his own.
"Drip, drip, drip..."
The only sound in the ward was the faint noise of the medical equipment.
Jing Linqi slowly opened his eyes and silently sat up in bed.
Looking at his hands, he quickly found the small star mark on the inside of his elbow.
It would be best to move the starred item to a different location!
They moved to a place where the purple ape couldn't usually see itself, and where even if it was completely naked, others wouldn't easily notice...
Barefoot, "Jing Ziyuan" walked to the bathroom in the ward, leaned on the sink, and approached the mirror to observe "herself," trying to figure out where a new star could be added to effectively hide it.
Jingyang had thought of many solutions before.
For example, he once imagined that he might be able to make a star mark mold, made of a soluble material, so that after cutting open the enemy's flesh, he could stuff this thing in, and then trigger it with his own psychic energy to mark the star mark inside the opponent's flesh... But this was obviously not feasible.
The star itself has a remarkable self-healing function.
Even if you can successfully mark an enemy's skin and flesh with a star, that star will inevitably be twisted, deformed, or even damaged during the healing process of the enemy's wound.
One of the fundamental characteristics of the star symbol is that once the integrity of the pentagram pattern is damaged, even by just a tiny puncture, the entire star symbol will disintegrate and disappear.
Jing Ziyuan couldn't help but look at his reflection in the mirror, aiming at the location of his heart.
Open the abdomen and mark the surface of the internal organs?
For example, drawing it on a heart?
Organs are delicate, so it's unlikely that the star markings on them would be accidentally "brushed" and damaged.
The problem is that I'm neither a professional doctor nor a bloodthirsty killer. To disembowel myself without batting an eye is really beyond my capabilities.
Not only do you have to open your chest, but you also have to calmly draw a five-pointed star on your heart, despite the blood flowing all over the floor...
No matter how strong one's nerves are, it seems impossible to handle this kind of thing.
"Snapped!"
Jingyang broke off a thread, twisted it into a pentagram shape under his mental control, placed it on the tip of his index finger, and put it into his mouth.
The pentagram line is located on the soft flesh inside the mouth. When the energy touches it, a rose-gold pentagram is formed in an instant.
If I keep it in my mouth, no one will find out, right?
And it was at an angle that wouldn't get scratched while brushing your teeth. Unless this monstrous creature has nothing better to do than eat fish, and especially loves shoving fish bones into its mouth...
The moment the star in the mouth formed, the star on the inside of the elbow vanished.
Jing Yang nodded to himself; this was within his expectations.
If multiple stars could be engraved on the same target, that would be too unfair—as long as you control the opponent, you would have ample time to cover every available space on their body with dense pentagram marks. In that case, the control ability of the stars would be completely unsolvable. What's the use of puncturing one or two stars? Unless the opponent can physically destroy you!
Obviously, this is not realistic.
Illumi can insert many Nen needles into the same target for manipulation because his manipulation method is aggressive and extremely destructive.
The puppets forcibly controlled by his mind needles died the moment they were controlled, becoming nothing more than disposable tools.
Jing Yang's star marks, on the other hand, are gentler, subtler, and offer greater flexibility in operation. Targets controlled by his star marks not only won't die, but they may not even be enemies... However, this versatility of the star marks comes with a corresponding drawback. Jing Yang can only leave one star mark on the same target; attempting to mark a second one will forcibly erase the previous one.
After updating the star position on Zi Yuan, "Jing Zi Yuan" nodded at the mirror and went back to lie down on the hospital bed.
Before his consciousness left, he left a command in the Purple Ape's mind to the star mark on its body: "Stop anyone—including yourself—from doing anything that damages the star mark."
……
After changing into clean clothes, Jing Yang and Xiao Di left the lounge feeling refreshed, preparing to slip away from the Sky Arena.
As a result, a large number of cameras and microphones rushed towards him, their flashes clicking incessantly. These journalists seemed to have been staking out the location for a long time, and now they swarmed in.
Jingyang wasn't becoming the host to become a star, so he naturally felt impatient and immediately released some of his arrogance.
The group of people were stunned. Jing Yang took the opportunity to pull Xiao Di away, wondering to himself if this counted as Conqueror's Haki.
In the Hunter world, if the difference in strength is so great that it's like an insurmountable chasm, the effect of Nen might actually be no less than that of Conqueror's Haki. At most, Conqueror's Haki might make someone foam at the mouth, but terrifying Nen could even scare a person out of their baldness, and could even scare a wild and cunning wolf king so much that his face shrinks and he degenerates into a wrinkled lapdog!
Jingyang's mind was filled with all sorts of random jokes, while he casually dealt with another group of people who seemed to be selling insurance.
"Open a martial arts school?"
"Since you're already the host, why don't you start a class?"
"Master Zhen Yuanzi, please accept my bow!"
"If you agree, I can bring you over 1000 students who cost 1000 million each... Really, why not consider it?"
"With your skill, it's a real shame you don't establish your own sect! This is my business card..."
It was like going through a series of challenges; Jingyang rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but he finally managed to get rid of the group.
Dude, are you short of money?
There are over two billion in the bank!
While Jing Yang was complaining, he also brought back his attention, which had been distracted by dealing with the Purple Ape. At the same time, he sensed the location of a star in the Sky Arena.
"It seems that the strength of such an instruction is enough for me to know the location of this Yin Beast at any time."
Jing Yang nodded to himself. Before leaving, he left a long-term control command for the star mark on the Yin Beast, so that the star mark on his body could always be kept active.
Once activated, it can sense itself.
Wu Er's star was activated, and he could sense it even across the Pacific Ocean, let alone this Yin Beast, whose activity range should be on this same continent.
In other words, if you want, you can log in to this Yin Beast that has exploded with gold coins and obtained the qualification of a host at any time in the future.
"Congratulations." A familiar voice suddenly came from ahead.
When Jingyang and Xiaodi saw it, they were surprised to find that it was Yun Gu, whom they hadn't seen for a while.
"You've come to watch the game too?" Jing Yang asked in surprise.
"Of course, I originally planned to challenge the masters, but unfortunately they are all very busy people, and it's really hard to schedule them." Yun Gu smiled wryly, but his eyes gradually lit up as he looked at Jing Yang. "How about I challenge you now?"
This reminded Jing Yang of that unlucky guy who was appointed as the new leader, but before he could even settle into his position, he was challenged and kicked out of the leader's seat on the spot...
Jing Yang snorted, "A defeated opponent dares to boast of bravery? Let's go, let's go to the venue now and see if I can beat you again."
Yun Gu smiled and waved his hand, "Never mind, never mind."
He could sense that Jingyang's strength had improved considerably since they parted ways at Xianshui Mountain.
"Then let's stop talking nonsense and come on, let's find a place to eat together," Jing Yang said. "We've been fighting for so long, we're all starving."
When the topic of friends gathering came up, he naturally thought of a good brother who seemed to be stranded far away.
Kurapika!
Inside the restaurant, Jingyang took out his phone and dialed Kurapika's number.
It's been months since we last met, and this grandson hasn't given us a single word. How can we build our Akatsuki organization like this?
"Beep, beep, beep..."
"Beep, beep, beep..."
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Jingyang tried calling several times, but the phone always went dead, causing him to frown.
Chapter 161 The Disappearance of Kurapika
Seeing that Jingyang kept making phone calls but couldn't get through, Yun Gu asked with concern. Jingyang waved his hand, put down his phone, and said, "Don't worry about it. Keep eating!"
Xiao Di glanced at the phone on the table. Jing Yang had called 10 times, but no one answered.
Yun Gu didn't know who Jing Yang was calling, but still said, "Maybe he was busy and had his phone on silent and didn't notice."
