I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

The question is, could it have been avoided?

Babu turned to look at Jingyang, and the psychic ball in his hand reappeared, this time the number inside predictably became "800".

"Throwing and catching the ball..." Bab rubbed his fists, looking indifferently. "I understand. This is the Nen ability you developed by integrating the Manipulation and Emission types, right? At the end of each round, the number inside doubles. I guess this number is the amount of Ki, the amount of Nen, and also the power of this Nen ball."

Jingyang remained noncommittal and threw an "800" ball at her.

"And what this little girl did was..."

Bab dodged the vacuum cleaner that Little Drop threw at him, opened one arm and leaped to catch the "800" psychic ball that was tossed at him, shouting, "Stop me from catching it!"

As she expected, the number inside the psychic ball she caught immediately changed to "1600".

Most importantly, the ball did not disappear from her hand.

"Looks like it's my turn to serve this time?" Bab smiled slightly and tossed the "1600" ball in his hand.

Jingyang laughed, "Are you really going to throw it at me? Next time you'll be catching 3200. Sister, can you handle it?"

"Humph!"

Babu gathered Nen in his hand, aimed at the smiling face of the brat opposite him, and forcefully threw the Nen bullet with a power of "1600".

boom!

The psychic orb, imbued with 1600 units of energy, shot through the air. Behind Jing Yang, on the opposite side, an eight-armed, black-shadowed guardian spirit beast quietly appeared.

When Jing Yang looked at this thing after running in the opposite direction to outside the range of death energy absorption, he suddenly thought that this thing, which was usually useless and resembled a guardian spirit beast, could form a combo with the "Huabei Mind Ball" that he had temporarily developed in the Sky Arena to deal with Yun Gu!

The "Reflection" needs blood as a catalyst to truly function.

However, if you need to use the enemy yourself, it may be difficult for the enemy to break through your defenses.

The "Huabei Naiqiu" feature directly compensates for this weakness of being unable to break through the defense. No matter how difficult it is to break through the defense, I'll double, double, and double the power again. I refuse to believe that I still can't break through?

However, the "Huabei Nian Ball" also has its disadvantages. Since it's jokingly called Huabei (a Chinese online payment platform), it's clearly a debt that needs to be repaid. This means Jing Yang will experience a "weak period" where this unfortunate Nian Ball drains his Nian energy to repay the debt—if he wins, it's fine, but what if he loses? At this point, a "weakness aura" eliminates any chance of a comeback. The worst-case scenario is if it's a stalemate; when the "Huabei Nian Ball" doubles to the maximum total Nian energy of both sides, it will forcibly begin "debt collection." It will simply send the money!

Therefore, apart from his duel with Yun Gu in the arena, Jing Yang never used this very limited Nen ability again.

But if you use "Huabei Naiqiu" in conjunction with "Reflection"...

In this game of tossing and catching, the probability of my buddy winning all the time is probably very small, but the probability of betting that the opponent will be broken through and bleed by the ever-increasing power of the ball is very high!

Coincidentally, the other party's act of throwing "Huabei Recitation Ball" at me is considered an attack, which meets the conditions for activating "Reflection" to automatically protect its owner.

The male spider who transformed into Uvogin was at least twice as tough as himself in both fist and foot attacks and defenses.

In other words, the strength of "Wojin" is over 5000 Qi. If we conservatively estimate it to be 5500 Qi, then the total amount of Qi in "Wojin" is probably 55,000!

This female spider is a bit weaker than "Uvogin" in this respect, but she has been blowing countless bubbles from the beginning until now, seemingly without end, so her Nen output must be considerable.

Even if we calculate based on 44,000 units of energy, the female spider's protective "strength" must be at least 4400 units of energy.

The "Huabei Nianqiu" strategy only has a chance of breaking through the defense when it reaches "3200". It has a high probability of breaking through the defense when it reaches "6400".

boom!

The ball that Babu threw, which read "1600", was caught by Jingyang.

Bang! His palms were pressed against his chest, the shock leaving them numb, and his internal organs seemed to shake. He was almost injured.

The eight-armed shadow behind him began to stir restlessly and showed obvious hostility towards Bab.

The Nen Beast returned to him... Babu coldly watched as the number on the Nen Ball in Jingyang's hand doubled, becoming "3200".

Whoohoo!

Without hesitation, Babu immediately spat out a series of "bubbles" at Jingyang.

boom!

Jingyang gritted his teeth and threw the "3200" ball in his hand like a cannonball.

The "bubbles" surrounding him flew towards him the instant he made his move, blocking all possible blind spots.

The "cannonball" hurtled through the air in the blink of an eye. Babu dodged to the side, but instead, he was met head-on by the heavy back of a vacuum cleaner.

She had anticipated this, and several other clusters of waiting "bubbles" surged toward the attacking droplet.

Boom!

The girl carrying the vacuum cleaner had her arm blown off and thrown into the air amidst the flames.

Boom!

Shizuku, without flinching, rammed into Babu, her Nen energy transforming into tendril-like chainsaws that bound Babu and herself together, colliding with the incoming "3200" cannonball. Blood splattered in the flames, and a black, eight-armed shadow flew in, swallowing the blood whole.

Boom!

Several clusters of "bubbles" engulfed Jingyang, causing continuous flames, flying blood and flesh, and billowing smoke.

"cough!"

Bab was blasted to shreds by the "3200" psychic ball, her clothes torn and blood oozing from the holes in her skin. She couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

As for the bespectacled girl who had desperately used the Nen chainsaw on her body to bind herself, she was also affected by the cannonball-like Nen ball and rolled to the side.

With a severed arm and injuries from an explosion, she didn't know if she would survive.

Thinking of this, Babu couldn't help but say, "You two brats are quite suited to being spiders. How about it, if Lieying dies, you can take his place. Want to consider it?"

Suddenly, an eight-armed black shadow appeared behind her, enveloping her completely. In an instant, just as it had done to Lieying before, it plundered a portion of her spiritual energy.

The shadowy figure finished eating and left. Bab felt weak; now he had even less energy left.

Even when she was in good condition, a full one-tenth of her Nen was plundered!

"Didn't you ever think that it would be the two of you who died?" Jing Yang's voice came from the firelight and smoke on the other side.

Bab sneered, "After fighting for so long, how much energy do you two brats have left? You actually want to compete with me in endurance..."

She gradually lost the ability to speak.

The little devil opposite had an arm and a leg blown off, and on his remaining palm floated a new Nen ball, the number on it having doubled to "6400".

He was clearly seriously injured, yet he was still smiling.

Laughter is fine. Babu has seen too many idiots who laugh when they know they are in a deadly situation, thinking they are bold and unrestrained. But that octopus-like black Nen beast appeared behind the brat, even sticking to him like a layer of armor, as if it was... transmitting Nen to the brat.

Bloodshot veins appeared in Bab's eyes.

Yu Guangzhong noticed a streak of blood rising from her chest, floating as if drawn by some force... It was her!

Babu turned around abruptly. The blood from the minor injuries she had sustained in the explosion was tearing through her skin and flying like a drizzle towards the bespectacled girl not far away.

With only one arm left, Little Drop got up, grabbed the bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner, and sucked in the fine drop of blood, quickly stopping the process. Such a small abrasion could only draw out this little bit of blood.

"Look, you're checkmated. Spider." Jing Yang hopped up on one leg, stood on one leg, gripped the "6400" psychic ball in his hand, and made a baseball pitching motion. "But I still like to bet everything on this one ball... that's cooler!"

boom--! ! !

The Nen ball, imbued with immense destructive power, hurtled towards them like a missile.

In that instant, Babu seemed to suddenly recall the scene a few months ago when that hateful, annoying guy Kuroro found him in Meteor City.

"Your skills are valuable; come join us."

"If I remember correctly, my abilities were stolen by you, you idiot! You forced me to find other ways, and I almost got killed several times!"

"Don't worry about it, I can return it to you now."

"Hey, you have so many abilities stored in that book, could they all be Phantom Troupe trainees you picked?"

"..."

Amidst the explosions and bloodshed, Babu felt as if he were flying, and the octopus-like shadowy spirit beast pounced on him again, obscuring everything.

Sometimes she couldn't tell whether she regretted deliberately letting Chrollo steal her Nen ability.

……

"This place seems somewhat familiar."

The third volume, "The Abyss," takes place in a special alternate dimension.

Beneath the dark, prison-like canyon and above the ruined village, Lie Ying was suspended by heavy iron chains, as if trapped in a spider web.

He glanced at the ruins below, noticing the swirling patterns everywhere—on trees, tents, and houses. He'd only been to this place once before, and he sneered, "I know now. You little brat, are you a stray from the Kuruta tribe? No wonder you always stare at me like that. Heh heh, I see."

"..."

Kurapika, who had his back to him, suddenly felt a surge of Nen energy that began to burn fiercely, transforming into a fiery skeleton knight that rose up abruptly.

Kurapika turned around, his face cold, but his eyes burned with a red flame, filled with rage.

"So you wanted to report it—"

Lie Ying sneered, but before he could finish speaking, a skeletal hand pierced his shoulder, drawing out a clump of blood.

The Flame Skeleton Knight withdrew his hand, and a drop of blood from Lieying dripped onto the open pages of the 'Judgment' book in Kurapika's hand, instantly staining the page red.

"I ask, you answer. If you lie or don't answer, you will die of a heart attack."

Kurapika looked up coldly at Reikage, "Whether I'm bluffing or not, you can try it yourself and see for yourself."

Lieying didn't speak, but just stared indifferently.

He was dragged into this bizarre, tomb-like space, then chained and forcibly placed into "Zero," unable to use his ki or Nen abilities... These are all strong signs of being controlled by an enemy's manipulative Nen abilities. Since this kid possesses manipulative skills, his earlier claim that lying would cause cardiac arrest and death is very likely true.

Kurapika asked coldly, "My first question is, as far as I know, the Phantom Troupe has 13 members. Apart from yourself, you should be able to transform into any of the other 12 members. Why did you only transform into that big guy in the battle just now? Transforming into more different people and using different Nen abilities would have increased your chances of winning, wouldn't it?"

Lieying grinned and said, "Why would I transform into someone else? So that you little bastards can learn about their Nen abilities?"

Chapter 190 These are your legs, these are your hands

After Lieying finished speaking, he did not die from cardiac arrest, nor did his blood boil and burn.

This is what he means.

Kurapika, holding the fifth volume of "Judgment" in one hand, silently looked up at the spider at its wit's end and asked, "Where are your other eleven companions?"

“Hehe,” Lieying licked his lips and sneered, “Come here and let Daddy kiss you, maybe he’ll tell you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of pain crossed his face. His body, heavily bound by chains, began to tremble, and his skin rapidly turned red, as if his flesh and blood were heating up, boiling, and even burning. He opened his mouth silently, then clenched his teeth tightly. His bloodshot eyes stared menacingly at the expressionless Kurapika. Finally, his chest convulsed violently, the light in his eyes faded, and he stopped breathing and moving completely.
