Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family's Legendary Item Master

"Huh?" The old man almost thought he had misheard. He was so old, and this was the first time he had ever received a "good guy" card.

He clicked his tongue, looked Sean up and down, and his expression was quite strange.

"When you say those words, I feel like you're insulting me."

Haha, praising an assassin as a good person is a good thing. Luckily, Netero isn't here, otherwise, his jaw would drop.

Seemingly having thought of something happy, the old man rocked in his rocking chair and laughed heartily.

Sean looked at him with a smile, knowing that he was sincerely thanking him.

If the old man hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have connected it to "mind," and naturally wouldn't have broken through the barrier of self-awareness, allowing his mental abilities to evolve further.

However, as the old man said, there is one more thing he was right about.

The current president of the Hunter Association, one of the world's five greatest Nen users, and the strongest human being—Netero Isaac—is indeed the old man's junior!

Because the old man's actual bone age was astonishingly high—over 300 years old!

What does this mean? It's probably the same age as Kim's ancestor, Tofu Rikise, who would be around now!

“Sage, assess Maha Zoldyck,” Sean muttered to himself.

Maha Zoldyck

【Sex: Male】

Bone age: 343

[Power: ? (Unable to view due to insufficient host strength)]

[Speed: ? (Unable to be viewed due to insufficient host strength)]

[Capacity: ? (Unable to view due to insufficient host strength)]

[Overall Rating: ? (Unable to be viewed due to insufficient host strength)]

In other words, the rumors are not unfounded.

The claim that the old man was born in 1901 is false.

He might have actually landed on the Dark Continent and eaten longevity rice!

Chapter 5 A First Try: Illumi's Reverse Output

The rumors have been confirmed.

Sean gave Maha a deep look.

Suppressing his curiosity about "longevity rice," he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

When it comes to the Dark Continent, even top experts like Netero remain tight-lipped, let alone mentioning little Karami.

Therefore, the only thing we should do right now is to improve our strength.

I hope that one day I can see through the old man's true nature, and even surpass him!

I'll beat him up then, so he'll know there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you choose to get something for nothing, you have to pay the price.

"Hiss~ Why does this old man feel so cold~" Maha, who was lying comfortably in the rocking chair, glared at Sean: "You brat, aren't you going to draw comics?"

"You haven't updated for a minute, don't you feel any remorse?"

Hey~ Freeloaders are always so self-righteous. "One more thing, next week's issue will be on break."

Sean's words nearly choked the old man to death.

Mahathir shut up in frustration.

Sean snorted, shook his hand, left the room, and headed straight for the training room.

On the ancient stone path of the castle, a young man with his black hair simply tied up with a hair tie walked along, consulting the "sage's" advice as he went.

“Sage, if I want to cultivate the Eight Gates without taking any damage, what basic attributes do I need to reach?”

["Strength", "Speed", "Qi": 200.]

200? Sean glanced at his attributes and found that only "Strength" met the standard, thanks to the "Sakura's Super Strength" he had drawn recently.

The remaining two are "speed" and "air volume", especially "speed", which is a full halved from 200.

Fortunately, the old man pointed out a clear path—the Heart Source Stream.

Praying before each punch might be a good idea.

He thought to himself, the practice room is right in front of him.

Sean pushed open the door and entered.

With heavy sandbags strapped to his legs, Illumi is training "Dark Step" under Silva's guidance.

A week has passed, and the little brother has made significant progress. His movements are now somewhat "sneaky".

But his 100 points of strength, 70 points of speed, and 90 points of energy are really not enough in comparison.

With a six-pointed star flashing in his right eye, Sean instantly saw through Illumi's attributes. His gaze then shifted to the right, settling on Silva.

Unsurprisingly, aside from being 36 years old, he gained nothing else. Like Maha, all he saw was "Sean's current strength is insufficient to view."

"You're late again today." The door creaked shut.

Illumi used his half-baked "Dark Step" technique to stop the wind's kick, and then launched a flying kick.

As a result, before his feet even touched Sean in mid-air, a size 39 foot fell from the sky and landed on his face.

"Eat a beating but not a beating, you little brat, try 'Big Brother's version of the flying kick of love'!"

"Thump~" Illumi fell backward to the ground.

Sean withdrew his foot, casually wiping it on his clothes, and muttered under his breath, "I stepped in Mikey's poop on the way out, what bad luck!"

Illumi: "."

He put on his sour face and glared at Sean: "I'm not stupid, I'm not idiot. Do you think I don't know if Mikey's shit stinks or not?"

"Wow~ You've finally gotten a brain~ That's impressive." Sean chuckled, ignoring his bratty younger brother's rapidly reddening face.

I took off my coat and changed into my practice clothes.

"Well done, Sean." A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Sean's flying kick was a "hidden step," and compared to last time, it was faster, more ruthless, and at an extremely tricky angle.

Naturally, this did not escape Silva's notice.

"Not bad, it's been a week, even Mikey has learned 'hidden steps'." Sean rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his bratty younger brother who was still pretending to be dead on the floor.

The latter visibly twitched and couldn't help but get up from the ground.

He said expressionlessly, "It took Dad a month to learn 'hidden steps'."

"So you're saying Dad's not even as good as Mikey the dog?"

Suddenly, the air in the practice room froze!

Sean couldn't help but give Illumi a thumbs up in admiration. Farewell, brother.

If you remember you can speak in your next life, then speak more.

"Bang!" Sure enough, the iron fist from his father arrived, though late.

Silva punched Illumi, who immediately clutched his head and squatted on the ground, a large bump visibly bulging on his forehead.

"Your brother said you've finally gotten your brain working, but it seems he overestimated you."

True heartbreak isn't about making a scene. Silva finished off Illumi, then turned to Sean: "And you too."

"You think you're so great just because you've learned 'hidden steps'? In that case, show me how you can instantly learn 'snake-like movements'!"

"Snake-like Living" is one of the three major assassination techniques of the Zoldyck family.

Unlike "hidden steps," it places greater emphasis on the body's flexibility and upper limb coordination.

By rapidly swinging both hands, a hand-blade technique is used to kill the enemy.

In the original work, Killua's famous scene of "pulling out a heart with his bare hands" during the Hunter Exam relied on "snake survival".

Silva has now witnessed Shawn's lower body talent, but every coin has two sides; a strong lower body means a weakness in the upper body.

Even someone as clueless as Illumi understands this.

The little brother stood up with a head full of bumps, tears welling up in his eyes, but he wouldn't let them fall.

It has to be said, she truly lives up to her title of "Zoldyck Family's Rong Momo," a ruthless person who will be able to prick her own face with needles in the future!

“Alright.” Noticing the gaze directed at him, Sean pondered for a moment, stretched his limbs, and said directly to Silva, “Dad, let’s not waste that time.”

"Since I still have some free time today, I'll learn 'limb flexion' as well."

Things are different now. Sean knows very well that ten-year-old Killua's physical attributes may not be as good as his own.

The fact that he could easily master the three major assassination techniques, given his qualifications, proves one thing—

"Dark Step", "Limb Contraction", and "Snake Movement" are no match for "Eight Gates Formation". With his current attributes, he can completely take them all down with the help of the Sharingan.

Of course, the most important point is—

The Zoldyck family's current training program is no longer keeping up with their own.

It's clearly no longer appropriate to play house with Illumi.

Sean took a deep breath and stared intently at Silva.

Silva frowned, clearly taken aback by his eldest son's boastful tone.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you serious?"

I think he's serious. Illumi, expressionless, held his head and was also looking at Sean.

Sean remained noncommittal and simply said, "Let's begin."

Silva smirked, then laughed in exasperation: "It seems the Zoldyck family has protected you too well."

"It also limits your horizons."

“Sean.” Silva spread his arms wide, like a god descending to earth, and his aura changed in an instant!
