I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Since the other person's identity is real, the credibility of his other statements is greatly increased...

Kurapika really disappeared?

Closing his laptop, Jingyang looked out the window—the sky was already dark, the stars were shining brightly in the night sky, and the faint moonlight shone in, illuminating the half of Xiaodi's body, which was covered with a layer of solid Nen energy, making it appear bright.

Stroking the nail-shaped ring on his index finger, Jingyang immediately activated the Moon Mark.

Two vague sensations surfaced in my mind: the moon mark on Shizuku's "B" ring and Kurapika's "C" ring.

The thought triggered the monthly mark of the Bing-character precept.

At the touch of a hair.

However, the reaction after the monthly marker was activated this time was completely different from before. It seemed that the signal was poor, and the sensing became intermittent and unclear.

[Hello? Is anyone there?]

Jingyang transmitted his thoughts to the floor, frowning as he looked at the frosty layer of moonlight on the floor.

At night now, the moon's "signal" should theoretically be at full strength.

Is that Jingyang...?

Kurapika's voice finally echoed in my mind, but his tone was as if he was about to die, sounding extremely tired.

This is really weird. Is this telepathic communication? How can there be such a vivid and expressive tired "tone"?

But as long as he's not dead, that's fine.

Jing Yang crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, rolling his eyes as he asked, "What's wrong with you? You saved my number but not my name, huh?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

I don't know if it's because the signal is bad, or if Kurapika is just speechless.

[Jingyang, Zhenyuanzi, Tiandao, Jia... none of these names seem quite right... so...]

It really looks like it's completely dead!

You haven't gone without eating for the past 10 days, have you?

"Is this the time to be agonizing over what name to save your contact as?" Jing Yang frowned and pressed, "What exactly happened? Where are you right now?"

Boss... found me...

Kurapika's voice transmission became increasingly indistinct until it completely stopped.

Chapter 162 couldn't possibly have disappeared into the Dark Continent, could it?

This is really weird!

Jingyang looked at the nail ring on his index finger, then looked up at the moonlight outside the window, then looked down at the nail ring again.

Back then, Xiao Di and I were separated by an entire continent, one on the west coast and the other on the east coast, yet we were still able to communicate through the Moon Marker at night.

Not to mention the sudden interruption of the sound transmission, the telepathic communication was so clear and rapid that there wasn't even a delay.

"It seems he has disappeared to a very far place," Xiao Di said from the side. The size of the "firmness" on her body had obviously shrunk a lot. She had reached the second half of her cultivation and began to sweat.

"Hmm." Jing Yang responded, unconsciously turning the ring, the character "甲" and the code name "天道" alternately appearing on the front.

After he and Xiaodi were separated to different continents, they tried to communicate again using the moon ring.

Therefore, he wasn't entirely sure whether the situation during telepathy in this type of case was similar to Kurapika's situation just now...

Jing Yang, after all, was the developer of the Moon Mark, a derivative ability, and had an intuition about its boundaries.

For example, he intuitively believed that the signal range of the lunar marker was limited during the day, at most allowing communication within the same city; while only at night would the signal be amplified many times over.

"I could clearly sense that Wu Er activated the Star Mark after being injured on the other side of the ocean. The Moon Mark should have a similar effect. Even across oceans and continents, as long as it's nighttime, communication should be seamless..."

Jingyang thought to himself.

As long as it's nighttime...

Human society here is merely a small part of the Hunter world. As long as it's nighttime on the continent of Evorica where he and Shizuku are currently, it should also be nighttime no matter which of the six continents Kurapika is currently in. He and Shizuku have verified this; she has never heard of any concept of a night hemisphere or a day hemisphere.

Jingyang couldn't help but complain, "That Kurapika kid, could he have 'disappeared' to the Dark Continent?!"

According to my initial guess, when the human society on the "six small islands" in Lake Möbius is in darkness, then many places on the Dark Continent may be in daylight.

Jingyang shook his head; this was too outrageous.

It's more likely that Kurapika is currently in an environment created by some kind of Nen ability.

Perhaps only "thought" can interfere with the signal of the Moon Target, which is also thought...

……

The next day at noon, at the foot of the Sky Arena.

Amidst the bustling crowd, a man in a gray knitted sweater looked up at the massive building, nearly a thousand meters tall.

A paradise for fighters worldwide!

He had naturally heard about it for a long time.

What's striking is that his ten fingers are adorned with all sorts of rings, and he wears necklaces of varying styles and thicknesses around his neck. These rings and necklaces include those inlaid with jewels, those made of pure gold and silver, and even some made of synthetic plastic, creating a rather eclectic mix that mitigates any potential nouveau riche impression. Instead, they exude a punk vibe, making him look anything but a respectable person.

Ousi = Plutonium Rik, a professional hunter in the Hunter Association.

Because of Kurapika's situation, he booked the earliest airship and rushed over. Without hesitation, he queued up to enter the Sky Arena and immediately showed his Hunter License to the receptionist.

"I'm looking for the owner of the 244th floor."

"Ah, please wait a moment."

The receptionist, of course, dared not neglect the professional hunter. She quickly found out that Mr. Zhen Yuanzi did indeed have an appointment, and immediately made arrangements, calling over a colleague to lead the professional hunter to the 244th floor in the elevator.

In the elevator, Ou Si skillfully tried to elicit information, mainly wanting to find out who the person he had spoken to on the phone last night was.

Judging from his voice, he doesn't seem to be very old.

Kurapika isn't very old either, so Oushi wasn't surprised.

He was surprised to find that Kurapika, despite his young age, possessed such strength, which was already astonishing. Moreover, this person who seemed to be Kurapika's friend was actually the master of the first floor of the Heaven's Arena.

One show per day, ten floors per day.

Ten wins out of ten battles.

Defeat the previous poster head-on and take their place...

The staff enthusiastically introduced Zhen Yuanzi's exploits in the Heaven's Arena, and Ou Si nodded from time to time. This Zhen Yuanzi was probably already a Nen user when he was on the first floor.

It is not uncommon for young Nen users to exist, but they usually only possess unique Nen abilities and their actual combat capabilities are relatively weak.

Kurapika is already outstanding enough, but what is Chin Genko's actual level? Is he just relying on his skillful use of Nen to dominate the Heavens Arena, or...?

Just as I was thinking this, the elevator doors slowly opened.

"We've arrived," the staff member announced, but noticed something unusual about Aussie's expression and asked in confusion, "Excuse me..."

"Oh, oh, it's nothing." Ousi came back to her senses.

Just now, when the elevator doors opened, a strong gust of air rushed out.

Even now, Ouji, who is also a Nen user and whose eyesight has been awakened, can see an energy field that looks like mist floating in the corridor in front of him.

A very strong aura.

Ousi wasn't so inexperienced as to be intimidated by this level of aura.

But Kurapika's friend's strength truly exceeded his expectations.

I seem to have underestimated the level of the Sky Arena's leader—or perhaps, Kurapika's friend is simply beyond the leader's skill level.

The staff member offered to lead the way, but Ousi said as he walked, "I know where he is."

The aura emanating from the front is the best signpost for guiding us.

Right there in that room.

As Ous got closer, he found the aura emanating from the door to be increasingly intense. It wasn't until he pounded on the door and said, "I am Ous = Plutonium Reck, I'm here," that he realized his voice sounded somewhat solemn.

"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time," came the reply from inside the house; it was indeed the young man's voice from last night's phone call.

When Ou Si pushed open the door, he saw a boy wearing a vest and shorts, barefoot on the floor, radiating Nen energy and in a meditative state.

Only then could Ou Si be certain that the young master's Nian strength was definitely no weaker than his own.

Next to the young master sat a black-haired girl wearing glasses.

The girl was quiet, staring at Oushi ever since he entered. Her gaze was strange, almost like she was observing him with curiosity, yet it seemed devoid of much emotion… That look was so odd!

"You really are amazing!" Ou Si looked at Jing Yang and praised, "Kurapika said he had never beaten you, no wonder."

Shizuku asked curiously, "Kurapika's Nen abilities were all taught by him, so of course he can't be a match for him."

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Kurapika is the kind of kid who would casually mention us to others." Jingyang let out a long breath, restraining his Nen aura and maintaining it at the level of 'Entangle'. "Besides, I've never actually fought Kurapika, so how can I talk about winning or losing?"

He glanced across at the other side, "Did you pull a fast one to confirm that we really are Kurapika's friends?"

“You taught him Nen, so you're more than just a friend; you're practically his mentor,” Ou Si said with a wry smile. “You're not surprised to see my appearance, so it seems you've already found out about my professional hunter profile.”

But is it true or false?

Kurapika's Nen ability was taught by this boy in front of him?

Leaving aside Kurapika's age and how many years he spent learning Nen... just how old is this boy named Chin Genko?

"I wouldn't call him my master. He's incredibly talented. I just gave him a nen initiation, and he started practicing on his own," Jingyang said modestly. "We're not that close, so let's not stand on ceremony. Tell me, how exactly does Kurapika disappear?"

Ous sighed and said, "He's said to have disappeared, but after 10 days, I'm afraid he's probably in grave danger. You should be prepared."

"Don't worry about that, he's not dead yet."

Ou Si looked at Jing Yang with a puzzled expression.

Jingyang repeated, "I've confirmed that he's not dead. So the most important thing we need to do now is find Kurapika. Before that, tell me in detail what happened."

Ou Si then realized that Kurapika and his actual young master in front of him had some kind of communication method, or at least a special means to confirm each other's life or death status.

"So, he threw the phone out at the end so that whoever found it could contact you..."
