Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 149 Flying Thunder God! Pot of Greed! The Strongest Lynn!

"This is truly unexpected!"

"Lynn actually knocked Bridges out of the ring!"

A moment later, the host finally recovered and exclaimed in a shocked tone, "Bridges is no longer able to get up!"

"The winner of this final battle has been decided; he is none other than—the strongest—Lynn!"

The host subconsciously omitted the word "newcomer" because at this moment, Lynn was already the strongest landlord.

The title "strongest newcomer" is clearly inappropriate; the word "strongest" is more fitting for Lynn now.

Countless viewers and fans felt this was very appropriate, and with everyone's tacit approval, the title of "Strongest" Lynn was finalized.

Immediately, the audience at the scene and those watching on television erupted in loud cheers, having successfully witnessed the birth of a legend.

Lynn only spent six months fighting his way through the Sky Arena, and even the previous fighting tournament champion was no match for him.

After this battle, Lynn's popularity reached an unimaginable peak!

After briefly dealing with the various interviews, Lynn went to a corner in the passage to observe the cards dropped after Bridges was defeated.

【Name: Flying Thunder God Technique】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: Naruto]

[Description: Leaving the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on a target allows you or any object in contact with your Nen energy to instantly teleport to the location of the seal. With a large amount of Nen energy, you can teleport large targets multiple times. The Nen energy cost increases with each additional seal you leave at the same time.]

Great, another A card.

Moreover, it is the Flying Thunder God Technique, one of the space-time ninjutsu!

Lynn's eyes lit up. This ability was incredible! Minato Namikaze from Naruto used this very skill to break through the "Yellow Flash" barrier.

The title.

During the Ninja Wars, other ninja villages even had a rule that "if you encounter the Yellow Flash on the battlefield, you can abandon the mission without being punished," which indirectly highlights Minato Namikaze's strength.

The Flying Thunder God Technique grants Minato extremely high mobility, allowing him to pose a threat comparable to a thousand troops on his own.

Lynn also really liked the various names Minato gave to the Flying Thunder God combination technique.

The opening move is a Sky Soaring Swallow Dance Light Instant Shadow Lingering Style, followed by Gale Super Flash Sky-Splitting Rasengan, and finally finished with Rasengan Sky Light Extreme Sharp Sky-Slicing Flash Style 1.

In the original work, Minato was used to using kunai as the medium for the Flying Thunder God Technique, so there was no need for him to deliberately imitate that.

Coincidentally, he possessed an ability perfectly suited for imprinting the Flying Thunder God Technique.

【Card Magic】!

With a slight thought, Lynn instantly conjured a Nen card in his right hand, engraved with a jutsu pattern resembling an ouroboros. Each person's Flying Thunder God technique has a different pattern; for example, the Second Hokage Tobirama's was a pattern, while Minato's was text.

Staring at the spell pattern, Lynn was reminded of the [Magnetic] and [Companion] cards that Greed Island had shown in the original story.

If it were only used on the island, that would be fine, but after Gon and Kiba cleared the game, the two used [Travel Together] to travel a great distance and fly directly to Kite's location.

This demonstrates that teleportation over extremely long distances is possible in the Hunter x Hunter world, and this is not solely due to the use of Nen abilities; the truly crucial factor is the [divine power].

【Divine Script】is a special symbolic script, similar to computer code used by Nen users. It can be used to achieve effects such as sealing, strengthening, and weakening.

The reason Greed Island was able to succeed was because Kim and his companions used a large number of "divine words" and established corresponding constraints and oaths, which enabled this real-world island to have a game system.

Undeniably, the word "god" is a mysterious yet useful thing; if I have the opportunity in the future, I might want to try to understand it.

Lynn collected his thoughts and concealed the ouroboros pattern on the card in his hand.

This is another advantage of card magic: it has a high degree of concealment. For example, when he infused it with ice-type moves, there was still no change in appearance.

He tossed the card between two fingers, and it flew forward at lightning speed. The next moment, Lynn felt a sudden change in his vision, and he found himself instantly in the location of the card.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage!

Looking back.

In that instant, he traversed a distance of more than ten meters. This was not simply due to his fast movement speed, but rather because he traversed space to appear at the coordinates of the card.

powerful!

In a short time, Lynn was able to come up with many scenarios for using it in battle.

It can be used for offense, shortening the range of long-range attacks, ambushing opponents, and shifting targets, as well as for escaping in times of crisis.

If used properly, the Flying Thunder God Technique might become his most powerful ability to exploit information gaps!

Without the enemy's knowledge, he instantly teleports to the card's location and delivers a fatal blow.

Even if Tsuchiya were to come, he would still be severely pushed back by Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique II + Rasengan.

Hmm—let's call it [Swift Wind Card Light Flash Shadow Remnant Zero Style].

With his ice-type abilities, he will henceforth become the "Blue Flash" of the Hunter world.

This challenge was definitely the right one!

With most people, including Lynn, satisfied, the highly anticipated "final battle" came to a complete end.

In the following days, thanks to promotions from live audiences, online broadcasts, and the Sky Arena, many places across the six continents displayed Lynn's victory message or posters, further boosting Lynn's popularity.

Gradually, more and more people became aware of Lynn's existence.

Whether in terms of strength or status, he is undoubtedly the strongest landlord!

Not only is his skill amazing, but he also has countless fans, and even the Sky Arena official regards him as a cash cow.

After inheriting the title of the strongest floor master, the 251st floor became his property, located at the highest level of the entire Sky Arena.

Theoretically, the 251st floor is the prize for the champion of the biennial fighting tournament, and Lynn's challenge does not comply with the rules.

But rules are made by people. Due to the overwhelming public demand, and because Bridges felt ashamed to continue occupying the 251st floor, he voluntarily gave up his right to reside there.

Seeing this, Lynn simply left the hotel suite and moved into his own room on the 251st floor.

It's rare that I didn't stay in a hotel.

The 251st floor is incredibly spacious, with more rooms than you can count on two hands. The interior facilities are all top-of-the-line, including but not limited to a practice room, gym, private cinema, and hot spring pool—comparable to the top suites of a luxury hotel.

As long as he can maintain his position as the strongest host, this place will always belong to him.

You can enjoy Sky Arena for as long as you want.

In the spacious hot spring pool.

Steam rose from the water.

Lynn leaned against the edge of the pool, her arms resting on the sides, most of her body submerged in the water, the hot spring bringing waves of warmth.

Taking a hot spring bath now and then is also a good idea.

"Please help yourself." The demon sword princess, dressed in a yukata, came to Lynn's side, her tone alluring, and slowly poured a glass of wine with her fair, jade-like hands.

Lynn tilted his head slightly, and from his angle, he could see a large expanse of spring scenery, but because he had seen it too many times, he was already immune to it.

Speaking of which, he has quite a few female character cards, including Yoto Hime, Yuki Onna, Hato, and Erina. Each of them is very beautiful, and they are pleasing to the eye just to have them by your side, not to mention the bedding.

Just like after eating Erina's delicious food, you can't eat anything else.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies, one can no longer stomach coarse food, and finds it difficult to feel anything for other women.

He readily accepted this.

"Waaah~"

Dragonair transforms into a small dog in the water, swimming happily at great speed, showing signs of evolving into Dragonite.

As the dragon molts repeatedly, it has grown to over five meters long. It can create huge waves with a simple roll over. It's only because the hot spring pool is big enough that it can swim freely.

Lynn picked up his wine glass and took a sip. As Yaodaoji massaged his shoulders, he pondered in his mind that Hakron was already B+ rank, and maybe in another three months—no, if he was lucky, he might break through to A- rank within two months!

The transition from B+ to A- is quite a hurdle. It's possible that once Dragonair reaches A-, it will evolve into Dragonite.

The importance of an aerial unit goes without saying, especially when it's a Dragonite, which is said to be able to circle the Earth in 16 hours.

After evolving, he can travel all over the world in Dragonite. Although it is not as comfortable as airships or other modes of transportation, it is still very useful in critical moments when every second counts.

Especially in special locations such as remote wilderness areas, the role of aerial units can be greatly demonstrated.

In particular, he doesn't have a sea mount yet. If he needs to travel on the ocean, he can use Dragonite to achieve his goal. Dragonite is even a water dragon, so it can swim in the ocean.

"Eye!" While Dragonair was swimming, Gengar suddenly emerged from the water, intending to give Dragonair a good scare.

In response, Hakuryu simply rolled its eyes at Gengar and swam away on its own—it was already immune to Gengar's pranks.

"Genki." Hakuryu's reaction frustrated Gengar, but it quickly rallied and eagerly searched for its next target, only to find that there was no suitable one.

The eldest brother was drinking, Yaodaoji was getting a shoulder massage, Yuki-onna was taking a bath, and Jiu was staying by the pool without going in.

Let's go outside and find Kurapika and Leorio.

It prefers Leorio, especially enjoying Leorio's startled reactions, which gives it a sense of accomplishment in playing pranks.

After a long while, Lynn got out of the pool, revealing his incredibly strong physique. Every muscle looked as if it had been honed through countless trials. Unlike the large muscles of a bodybuilder, it didn't have such a strong visual impact, but upon closer inspection, one would find it to be surprisingly well-proportioned.

Once ashore, Lynn glanced at the snow woman still in the pool and the dove on the bank.

Previously, when she was at Rank B, Yuki-onna was unable to control her ice abilities well, and would freeze water as soon as it came into contact with it.

However, since being promoted to A-, Yuki-onna has been able to easily control the cold air and doesn't have to worry about not being able to touch water.

Similarly, since the dove is currently only at the B-rank, it cannot control its venomous abilities, so it can only watch them bathe and usually bathe alone.

Jiu has a delicate and petite face, with a pair of large, dark eyes on her fair complexion. Her eye makeup is heavy, and the corners of her eyes are slightly elongated, giving her an aloof and cold feeling.

She had extremely long, snow-white hair that hung loosely, with the ends gathered into rounded bunches. She wore a modified Japanese-style kimono with a hem that was short enough to reach her thighs, revealing her slender and long legs.

Lynn first dressed herself, then took out the [divination tissues].

Today is the monthly card-drawing day, and he just took a shower and changed clothes in the hopes of bringing him good luck.

Perhaps Lady Luck was in a good mood today, for he successfully drew the "Great Fortune" draw.

Lynn's face lit up with joy, and without much hesitation, he took out his Yu-Gi-Oh! deck and drew a card that was infused with his conviction.

【Name: Pot of Greed】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Yu-Gi-Oh!]

[Description: One-time use card. Select a target of S-rank or lower. When you defeat the target for the first time, the target will always discard two cards.]

I finally got my money back!

It's not easy to get an A-rank card in a Yu-Gi-Oh! deck.

If you think about it carefully, he's drawn cards more than ten times since he got the Yu-Gi-Oh! deck from Hisoka, but he's only drawn two A-rank cards: the last one was "Solo Assistance," and this one is "Pot of Greed."

This was even after he drew a "Great Fortune" card by "claiming the tissue"; otherwise, he might not have been able to draw a single A card by now.

Lynn sighed inwardly, then focused his attention on the card.

The name "Pot of Greed" is extremely famous in Yu-Gi-Oh!, known to everyone.

Because in the game it allows players to draw two cards unconditionally, this effect might not seem like much in other games, but it's an incredible effect in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Here, the effect of [Pot of Greed] has changed. It can select a target, and if the target is defeated for the first time, it will definitely draw two cards.

Cards aren't guaranteed to drop, and Pot of Greed ensures the opponent will definitely drop a card, which is already a very powerful effect, especially two cards.

In other words, if he uses this card on an A+ level powerhouse, in the best-case scenario, he can get two A+ level cards at once.

A+ level — Judging from his current strength, he should be close to achieving that level soon, and he will soon have the opportunity to solo an A+ level expert.

He needs to use this card wisely and choose a good target.

Collecting her thoughts, Lynn performed another gacha pull in the [Onmyoji Guild].

It seems his luck ran out this time; he only got a useless C+ level monster, which he immediately converted into points.

Then, Lynn's gaze fell on the [Yin Yang Bureau].

To this day, he possesses numerous A-rank cards, but only one A+ rank card, and its effect is incredibly powerful.

The first effect allows him to draw cards, the second effect allows him to directly strengthen shikigami, and the third effect allows him to upgrade cards—this sparked another idea in his mind.

If A+ grade is this powerful, how strong must S- grade be?

Currently, it seems that for him to obtain an S-rank card, he would need the strength to defeat a powerhouse like Netero, and even then, there's no guarantee he'll get it.

But no matter what, I have to break through to S-level.

This is also his mid-term goal.

However, he has another option to obtain S-rank cards in a shorter time. That is to upgrade the [Onmyoji Guild] to an A+ rank. Upgrading an Onmyoji Guild to S-rank requires 25000 points, and he has been painstakingly saving them up for a while. He now has 5000 points, which is because Illumi gave him two A-rank cards last month.

The main problem is that he kept too many AMD cards for his own use.

Although it's a bit difficult, given his current ability to earn cards, he should be able to collect them in a year or two. With good luck, he could even shorten the time, at which point he'll have a chance to own his first S-rank card!
