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

Hisoka started taking the Hunter Exam this year, and like him, he was a newcomer, so theoretically he should also be within Tonpa's reach.

However, it is clear that Tonpa never approached Hisoka.

Otherwise, this old guy wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to him.

He personally really wants to see the scene where Tonpa treats Hisoka like Gon and the others... maybe he'll just evaporate in an instant.

"Cough cough cough..."

Dongba coughed a few times, shrank his neck, and looked away, not daring to look in Hisoka's direction. He lowered his voice and said awkwardly:

"Well... Sky Arena is such a big business, I've naturally watched a few shows. I don't know about the others, but I do remember some of the hosts."

"He's the owner of the Sky Arena, of course I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to try and get close to him..."

Lynn understood.

As its name suggests, the Sky Arena is a very famous fighting arena in the six continents, and is known as the "holy land of fighters".

Among them, those who can reach more than 200 floors and are particularly outstanding are the so-called "floor owners".

Hisoka is one of them, and he's quite a "celebrity" in terms of age... I wonder if Heaven's Arena will sell your merchandise, like figurines or something.

"Alright, that's all for now." Lynn withdrew his right hand.

Dongba felt a lightness in his shoulder, and just as he caught his breath, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and a wave of dizziness washed over him.

Snapped.

The Dongba lay on the ground in a very comical posture and fell asleep immediately.

Lynn's gaze was cold.

Although Dongba didn't have any effect on him, and even went to great lengths to give him a lot of advice, the person who came to him had impure intentions... especially that face made him want to beat him up.

So he gave Dongba a chop to the neck, and whether he could wake up before the exam depended on his luck.

Surprisingly, he also received a new card after defeating Dongba.

【Name: Spider-Sense】

[Grade: C]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: Marvel]

[Description: Inspired by Spider-Man's spider-sense, it allows the user to anticipate dangers that are not significantly beyond their own capabilities, but this ability is limited to perception.]

It turns out to be the spider sense of a failed man.

This ability is a perfect match for Tonpa. Lynn even suspects that Tonpa also has "spider-sense," otherwise how could he have escaped death so many times?

C-grade cards, while having mediocre effects, are still somewhat useful and don't need to be used as materials for synthesis for the time being.

This is a passive skill that doesn't require any mana, which is pretty good.

This card also made him realize something else: it's not only Nen users who can obtain cards; ordinary people also have the opportunity.

However, the probability is very small, the card quality is not high, and it would have to be a special talent like Dongba.

Dongba is actually quite useful; he even contributed a card to him.

Lynn was in a slightly better mood. She sat down with her back against the wall, holding the adorable little Chopper in her arms, and occasionally rubbing the latter's soft head.

To avoid trouble, he communicated with Chopper using telepathy.

It is currently 4 PM on January 6th. The Hunter Exam will officially begin tomorrow, January 7th, but the exact time is uncertain.

So most of the test takers, like him, planned to stay in the warehouse until tomorrow.

Among the crowd, some people, including the three Amos brothers, were surprised to see the Tonpa so easily defeated.

They originally thought that dealing with this newborn would be a piece of cake for the Dongba.

I never expected the reversal to happen so quickly.

I misjudged the situation; this is a tricky idea, and we need to pay close attention to the person involved…

Meanwhile, in a corner of the warehouse, a strangely dressed person, resembling a circus clown, was doing something quite unusual.

While others looked tense and worried about the upcoming Hunter Exam, Hisoka sat cross-legged on the ground, building a pyramid with playing cards.

Hisoka has long, red hair, and his angular face is painted with a star and a water droplet.

She was wearing a short white top with the hearts and diamonds of playing cards drawn on the front and back, and her waist was wrapped with strips of cloth, making her waist look extremely slender.

After a long while, he slowly placed a card on top, completing a pyramid that was very sturdy.

He still had a few cards left in his hand.

Hisoka deftly flipped the playing cards up and down, finally drawing out two cards and holding them between his index and middle fingers to shield his face, revealing only a pair of alluring eyes that seemed to be smiling.

The two cards are the two jokers from a deck of cards.

In Hisoka's view, the only ones in the entire warehouse were the two kings.

The "King" refers to him, and the "Little King" is naturally Lynn.

He was just out having some fun and managed to run into a Nen user; he was pretty lucky, considering he was thinking he might get bored soon.

From the moment Lynn stepped into the warehouse, Hisoka regarded him as a backup pastime, something he could play with if needed.

Hisoka has a keen eye; he can tell roughly how strong Lynn is just by looking at the [Entanglement] on him.

As a fruit farmer, being able to inspect fruit is a fundamental skill.

In his opinion, Lynn's ability at his age is only so-so... He chooses opponents not only based on their strength but also on their potential; the more talented they are, the more excited he gets.

After a comprehensive assessment, he concluded that Lynn was a "mediocre fruit," one that could be picked to relieve thirst.

But he didn't know that Lynn had only been in contact with "Nian" for less than half a year.

If they knew this, they would probably have a different reaction.

Time passed slowly. Lynn's clone pretended to close his eyes and rest, while his main body was having dinner with Capone.

Youkexin Villa.

dining room.

"Hehehe~" Gastly floated in the air, sometimes passing through the long table and diving below, and sometimes disappearing through the wall.

As a ghost, it can ignore solid movement.

Lynn casually forked a juicy piece of meat, chewed it, swallowed it, glanced at the Gastly floating around excitedly in the air, and then ignored it.

Seemingly a "side effect" of consuming Death Nen, when Gastly consumes too much Death Nen in one go, it will fall into a state of "being knocked out," and the entire ghost will be full of energy and never tired.

Of course, this is only a short-term condition and will soon return to normal, without any negative effects.

However... the acquisition of antiques needs to be arranged as soon as possible.

A month has passed, and the death energy of the three antiques has been almost completely absorbed, leaving only the Ancient Sword, which is enough for Gastly to absorb for two days.

Conversely, Gastly's growth rate is also astonishing, advancing directly from C- to C+ rank, and according to it, it is about to undergo its first evolution.

Lynn guessed that after evolving into Gastly, it would be a B-rank power level.

But Gastly's Death Thought food supply is about to run out.

Yoker City, a major gang city, is a well-known "paradise for the rich" where money can buy anything, such as the TX-3.

Not to mention antiques, they're sold everywhere.

Unfortunately, what he wanted wasn't an ordinary antique, but an antique imbued with death energy, which is relatively rare. Ideally, a Nen user with the ability to "condense" would go to the site to select it... He didn't have enough money to buy it casually right now, otherwise he could buy it regardless of whether it had death energy or not.
