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

Chapter 239 With Lynn around! Are you mentally prepared?

Meanwhile, in a special space of thought.

Old P Ikshampe and Kim were watching the live stream of Sky Arena.

"Aren't you going to go help? Is it really okay to just watch the show?" Ikshampe's mechanical voice rang out.

"No need, Lynn is enough with her there."

"If even Lynn can't handle this, then there's no point in me going."

"That guy is truly the strongest in the world."

Jin stared at Jade on the screen. Even through the screen, he could tell that this person was very strong!

It's highly likely that he's on par with Nitero!

"The shadowy figure—"

Looking at the sky filled with resentment, Jin subconsciously whispered.

He had heard of this former underground criminal organization, but he never expected it to resurface after so many years.

However, with Lynn around, it shouldn't cause too much of a problem.

Then, Jin looked at Xiao Jie and the others in the picture, his eyes slightly flashing.

There's no denying that Xiao Jie is growing up well.

only----

Ging's gaze fell on Leorio and Kurapika again, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly, letting out a sigh.

How come there's such a big difference between people who haven't been exposed to "Nian" for very long?

He naturally knew something about Lynn's two apprentices.

Leorio is the eldest disciple, having been taken in by Lynn two years ago.

Kurapika is the second disciple, having been taken in by Lynn after the Hunter Exam a year and a half ago.

In just one or two years, these two have grown to their current level. Of course, there are personal factors involved, such as Kurapika being a survivor of the Kurta tribe.

But it cannot be denied that Lynn, as a mentor, played a huge role.

Based on the methods Lynn usually demonstrates, he is certain that the reason Leorio and the other two have grown so quickly is because Lynn used unconventional teaching methods.

And indeed, that was the case; Kim's idea was not wrong.

Becoming Leorio and Kurapika's apprentice was definitely the best decision they ever made.

This is why they have the [Chakra Refining Method] as a technique for learning Nen, to accelerate the growth and proficiency of Nen energy.

There are also techniques such as the "Naval Six Styles" and the "Eight Gates Formation" that can be learned. Although they are far inferior to those of one's own master, they can still be of some help.

Finally, and most importantly, both of them awakened their [Gourmet Cells], which truly broke through their original limits and gave them even greater potential.

Lynn would also occasionally share food with them.

All these factors combined have led to their current achievements.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lynn is not only the strongest in the world, but also the strongest master in the world. Even Bisji is no match for him.

Jin naturally realized this as well, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known beforehand, he might have asked Lynn to take Xiao Jie in.

But it's too late to say anything now; there's nothing we can do about it.

Sky Arena.

At this moment, countless people across the six continents are cheering for Xiao Jie and his companions, placing high hopes on them, and wishing that they can defeat Jade.

But for them, this is no small feat.

"Hehehe————"

On the rooftop, Jade let out a low, chilling laugh.

A surge of immense resentment rose into the sky, like columns of water surrounding Jade, constantly rotating clockwise.

Even without using his vengeful abilities, the sight alone, coupled with his eerie smile, gave one the feeling of a living demon.

A malevolent resentment spread out, enveloping the four people, the rooftop, and even the more distant area!

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

At that moment, the whole world suddenly went dark, and it was as if a mad monster was standing in front of them, making sounds that were both roars and eerie laughter, trying to drag them into an abyss.

The four people's spiritual energy surged passively, and they subconsciously released [Refinement] in order to resist the malicious aura coming from Jade.

But it's just a drop in the ocean.

Leorio and Kurapika were relatively okay, but their faces were gloomy.

But the two little ones are different; their strength is still too weak.

Qi was the first to react.

In an instant, action preceded thought. Before his brain could even react, he had already retreated to the back, his face filled with fear.

Because of the affliction of the needle in his mind, he still finds it difficult to shake off the deep-seated fear when facing powerful enemies.

Thanks to this, he has a higher level of ability to sense the strength of others, so he clearly realized how terrifying Jade was!

At this moment, Jade was like a huge, vengeful ghost in his eyes. He didn't need to bar his teeth and claws; a mere breath from him could turn the tiny Jade into ashes.

After all, that was a malevolent aura emanating from an S-rank!

Even a small wisp, not fully unleashed, is enough to render Qi powerless.

After all, Jade is even stronger than Catwoman.

Jade casually grabbed the pillar of resentment beside him, and it transformed into a long whip in his hand.

The long whip, made of resentment, exuded a dark aura and was covered with blue flames.

Jed suddenly swung his whip, which first struck the ground.

The ground suddenly shattered, revealing a large crater covered with countless spiderweb-like fragments.

Besides the hair-raising cracks, there was also a layer of bluish-black substance on the ground, which was resentful energy with extremely strong corrosive power!

Ordinary Nen users would be in serious trouble, let alone withstand the attack; the resentment attached to the attack itself would be enough to cause them trouble.

The whip, which had sprung up, was like a black dragon, leaping up and down, striking the four people with unerring accuracy.

Leorio was startled.

Xiao Jie and Qi are completely outmatched in this kind of battle!

No, not even he and Kurapika are qualified!

Leorio recalled his master's earlier instructions to rescue Chairman Netero at the summit, and couldn't help but smile wryly. "Master, this seems a bit beyond our capabilities."

Peng!

The long whip slammed into the ground, creating a large hole.

It missed!

"Hmm?" Jade narrowed his eyes and looked at Leorio and the others who had teleported to a short distance away, feeling a little embarrassed.

In the rush, Leorio could only use his portable operating room to move them away, and his reaction time was too short, so he could barely escape the attack range.

"Mass teleportation?"

"You won't be able to escape this next time!"

Jade swung the whip violently, sending the terrifying whip hurtling away with astonishing force.

The next moment, a hand grabbed the long whip that was filled with an ominous aura.

When the audience saw the figure appear, they immediately erupted in excitement.

"Hey! Look! Isn't that the strongest Lynn?!"

"It's true! The strongest Lynn has arrived!"

"Go for it! Defeat that guy!"

The audience cheered and shouted, excited that their idol had finally appeared.

They were initially quite desperate, believing that Xiao Jie and his three friends were no match for Jade.

Now Lynn's appearance brings them a glimmer of hope.

"They're finally out? Looks like we really don't need to worry anymore."

Bisge, who was keeping a close eye on things, breathed a sigh of relief. With Lynn around, whatever happened could be brought under control.

Inside a meeting room of the Hunter Association.

The unexpected situation at the Sky Arena has implicated Chairman Netero and the Dark Records.

Therefore, the Bean Man urgently convened a meeting of the Twelve Earthly Branches to discuss how to solve the problem.

The incident happened suddenly, and not all twelve Earthly Branches could arrive in time; only about half of them were in the meeting room.

The remaining twelve earthly branches communicate smoothly with others through video calls.

As for Kim Jong-un, who was also a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches, no one could contact him, so no one paid any attention to him, since he probably wouldn't attend the meeting anyway.

Kito spoke first to explain the current situation:

-

"The situation is very clear now."

"Chairman Netero was controlled by the other party using unknown methods and was unable to resist."

"Judging from their methods, it is highly likely that they are descendants of the Shadow from back then, coming to seek revenge."

"Now we must figure out how to deal with the Shadow forces, rescue Chairman Netero, and minimize the harm and impact."

Halfway through her speech, Miyo Ginta, who was also present, raised his hand to signal, and Kita stopped talking.

"What is that dark record book they mentioned?"

"Can we get the chairman back by handing this over?"

Yintai said with a slightly confused look, in his heart Chairman Netero's life was undoubtedly worth countless times more than any record book.

Chairman Netero's life is what matters!

"No, we cannot release that dark record book."

Kito shook her head, disagreeing with Ginta's suggestion.

Why?

The hot-tempered Kang Jae angrily rebuked him.

As members of the Twelve Earthly Branches, we all took on this position out of respect and love for Chairman Netero.

Why put Chairman Netero in danger when there is such a simple method available?

Therefore, Kang Jae, who was already easily angered, was even more unable to suppress his inner rage.

"Excuse me, let me explain." The Bean Man stepped forward to explain.

"After the other party broadcast the live stream, the Hunter Association received a meeting invitation from V5's various countries."

"One thing was clear during the meeting: the Dark Book must not be made public."

"This is a price that neither the Hunter Association nor the V5 nations can afford."

The bean-faced man, unlike his usual calm demeanor, became very serious.

"What exactly is written inside? How could it have such a huge impact after being made public?" Gai Lu frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask directly.

Even among the twelve Earthly Branches, not everyone knows this hidden fact.

Those who know about the Dark Records now are either senior figures who lived through those eras, such as Bisge.

Either they hold high positions and have people specifically tasked with understanding them, like Kim.

Only a handful of people in the entire Gan Er Di Zhi system have a general understanding of or have heard of the Dark Record Book.

"It describes the dark side of the Hunter Association; they've done quite a few bad things in the past~"

"Naturally, there are also V5 requirements—"

'

'

The Bean Man gave a general account of the Dark Record Book and the Shadow Army.

After a long while, the field fell into a deathly silence.

Apart from a few Earthly Branches that they had already heard of, the rest of the people were still digesting the amount of information contained in the bean flour people's words.

It's no wonder the Hunter Association didn't know about the Shadow Squad, which was specifically responsible for the dark side of things. After all, the Shadow Squad was dealt with decades ago, when some of the Twelve Zodiacs might have just been born.

Kido adjusted her glasses and continued, "The Dark Records involve far too many things."

"If we make it public, the public's trust in V5 and the Hunter Association will decrease, which could easily cause unrest or even more serious problems."

"So this isn't just a requirement of V5; the Hunter Association would also prefer not to do it."

Now no one dared to speak up anymore, because it would affect public order and stability, but they still couldn't accept the decision.

They couldn't just stand by and watch Chairman Netero fall into such a dangerous situation—or even die!

"Lynn is still here, he can definitely handle it!" Pjorn suddenly said.

With Lynn there, Chairman Netero should be fine.

"That's right, I agree with Pjorn. With Lynn there, Chairman Netero will definitely be saved."

Gail also agreed with Pjorn.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

At that moment, Lynn appeared on the live stream screen!

"Hmph, so they've finally shown up?"

"He's got guts."

Jade observed Lynn, who had appeared out of nowhere, with sharp eyes, and especially felt the immense force emanating from the long whip.

This guy—

As night fell, the evening wind howled, fluttering Lynn's black cloak.

With a casual squeeze, the long whip made of resentment shattered instantly.

"I'll return those words to you verbatim."

"Since you dared to provoke me, it means you were mentally prepared, right?"

Lynn smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

There was not a trace of panic on his face.

Even when faced with Jade's imposing aura head-on, he remained unfazed, a stark contrast to the four members of the group that had been with him earlier.

The audience doesn't know what thoughts or grievances are, but they can see everyone's expressions and thus judge who is more confident.

Clearly, Lynn must have been very confident to step forward!

Lynn will win!

Jade sized up Lynn.

Netero's words made him put aside some of his contempt; someone who could be called the strongest in the world couldn't be that weak.

"The strongest in the new world? Then let me see your strength!"

Jade suddenly grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile. This time, he had come back from the dead, just to cause destruction!

No matter who it is, anyone who dares to stand in his way will only have one fate!

dead!

As Jade's desire for revenge intensified, more resentment emanated from his body, and its color deepened!

"Netero! You watch me closely, if I say I'll tear him to pieces, I mean it!"

Netero couldn't help but shake his head inwardly upon hearing Jade's words.

The person you're up against is Lynn!

"Oh?"

"Do you want to tear me to pieces?"

"Then let's see if you have the ability."

Before his words had even faded, a large amount of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from Lynn's body, and his aura instantly descended upon the arena, forming a powerful air pressure around him, with a strong wind rapidly rising.

Centered on the ground, strong winds blew in all directions, sweeping up thick dust and expanding in concentric circles.

Immediately, even though he was mentally prepared, Jade's expression changed, and he involuntarily stirred up more resentment.
