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

Chapter 276 Don't compare yourself to Lynn! Amazing learning ability!

With a whoosh, Lynn appeared in front of the Ant King in an instant, his speed was extremely fast!

His right hand clenched into a fist, covered with a deep black iron color, and at the same time, it pressed down on the Ant King with a terrifying ball of psychic energy, stirring up waves of intense air!

The air was compressed by the punch, producing a low groan, and the fist seemed to leave behind afterimages like flowing water in the air.

If we were to say which move he uses best embodies "skill," it would undoubtedly be the Flowing Rock Smash Fist.

Most of his abilities are special abilities that only he can use; there are relatively few skill-based abilities like the Water Flow Rock Smashing Fist that others can learn.

The Ant King's eyes narrowed, showing no intention of dodging. Instead, he, like Lynn, stretched out his fists straight out to meet the attack!

This is a common test.

boom!

In an instant, the two fists collided, and a jellyfish-shaped shockwave, visible to the naked eye, swept out in all directions, forming a fierce wind and stirring up a large amount of dust.

The rubble and ruins on both sides shook violently, sending up countless specks of dust.

Lynn's expression was serious as he unleashed a skillful and refined Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist with both fists, infused with abundant Nen and Armament Haki.

Unlike the simple attack before, this time his attack was not as direct and fierce, but it put greater pressure on the Ant King.

In an instant, the two top experts clashed at close range, their speed of movement and attack was inhuman, and some people behind the screen didn't even have the chance to see them!

The only indication of the fierce battle was the deafening sonic booms and the gradually collapsing ground.

At their level, if they really take action, every move they make will cause astonishing damage to the environment.

During this process, Lynn was alright because he had a fairly thorough understanding of the Ant King, so he knew what kind of fighting style the Ant King would use, which was nothing more than relying on animal instincts.

But the Ant King knew very little about Lynn.

It wasn't just Lynn's displayed strength, but also his incredibly skilled [Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist], that shocked the Ant King.

In a short period of time, it fought Lynn for dozens of rounds. Although Lynn failed to cause it any significant damage, it also failed to defeat Lynn.

In the process, it also became acutely aware of what it lacked, but which was something extremely important that Netero and Lynn possessed.

Skill!

It had already gained a basic understanding of the techniques from its battle with Netero, but because of the huge gap in strength between itself and Netero, it was not in a hurry.

But now it has encountered a formidable opponent with comparable strength, and the opponent also possesses "skills" that it does not have, and the problem has been exposed all at once.

Even though nothing bad happened in the short term, it clearly felt that it was at a disadvantage in this battle.

Lynn's attack style is very unique. His hands are like flowing water, sometimes gentle and sometimes rapid, combining offense and defense, creating a domain-like space around him.

Lynn could see through and neutralize all of its attacks, while Lynn would occasionally manage to hit it.

Even though it was not greatly affected by its strong defense and self-healing ability, it knew that it could not continue like this.

The technique is indeed very useful — the Ant King thought to himself.

It will not let go of anything that can make it stronger.

Just as it desires to devour the bodies of the strong, this is certainly driven by desire, but the real reason for this is its inner pursuit of power as a wild beast.

It can become stronger by eating, so it will naturally want to eat the strong.

Similarly, now that they know learning skills can improve themselves, they naturally won't miss out on them.

It must be said that Lynn's performance brought its desire to learn skills to a whole new level.

Through observation, it was discovered that Lynn was able to exert greater force with less effort, and that was the effect of technique.

It's too late to learn afterward.

It wants to learn now!

Moreover—a glint of excitement flashed in the Ant King's eyes; wasn't there a perfect role model right in front of him?

With differing thoughts, a human and an ant are engaged in fierce close combat in the underground space.

The two figures would disappear from their original positions at times, only to reappear in the same spot in an instant.

boom!boom!

The sounds of fists colliding rang out, and the powerful force produced a loud whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

In an instant, the entire underground space was filled with the sound of their fists clapping; with just a simple punch or kick, they inflicted extremely terrifying damage on the surrounding environment.

Within the space of thought.

"What terrifying strength! Damn it, even you couldn't do this, could you?" Old P, with his abstract art style, was stunned, treating it like a blockbuster movie.

Lynn's performance, in particular, was truly unimaginable; it was a level of strength that a human could display.

Jin did not answer immediately, but stared intently at the screen, revealing a solemn expression that was unusual for him.

He spoke slowly after a few breaths.

"Um—I can't do it."

"Leaving aside the Ant King, it is a monster from the Dark Continent, so its strength is reasonable."

"But Lynn is different."

"As a human from the six continents, he was able to fight a monster like the Ant King, who could easily defeat an old man, to a standstill. From this point of view, he is no longer human."

At this point, Jin sighed, casually picked up a fruit that looked like an apple, took a bite, and chewed while his voice remained clear: "Although it might seem like I'm just bragging, I am still one of the top experts on the Six Continents."

"Even I can't see both sides' movements clearly, and I sometimes miss their figures, let alone others."

"Their strength has reached an extremely high level, far surpassing that of the strongest individuals from the six continents."

"Ordinary experts probably wouldn't even be able to see the two of them; they would only be able to hear the loud sounds of their fists clashing."

Old P glanced at Jin, then looked away, casually remarking, "Being friends with such a prodigy must be stressful, right?"

"I remember Lynn's growth rate was astonishingly fast. It only took a very short time for him to grow from an average person to where he is now."

"It is clear that this is not the end for him. He will grow to an even higher level in the future, a level that almost no one can reach."

Jin stared at the flickering figure on the screen and the constantly vibrating environment, then shrugged and said with relief, "Of course there's pressure having such a freakish friend by my side."

"Lynn is different from me; he's a true genius."

"Well, at first it's a bit frustrating to see young people overtake you like they're flying in an airship. No one can ignore that."

"But you know what, I got over it not long after."

"Why?" Old P tilted his head, puzzled.

Jin smiled, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "When the gap becomes too large, this feeling will disappear, and in the end, only sighs and anticipation to see how far he can go will remain."

"Although I am still young and have room for improvement, I know that my potential is nothing compared to Lynn's."

"Not long ago, Lynn was not as strong as me. At that time, I could easily see through his every move, but later Lynn became able to defeat me."

"Now even I can't see his every move clearly."

"I imagine that before long, I won't be able to see any of his movements at all."

Jin slowly raised his hands, first clenching his left hand, then his right: "One should have aspirations, but also self-awareness."

"Just do what you can do."

"To put it bluntly, don't compare yourself to a monster like Lynn. Life would be too tiring that way, hahaha."

Looking at Jin laughing heartily, Old P shook his head.

Although he usually thought Jin was unreliable, he couldn't deny that what Jin said just now was indeed correct.

Lynn is a monster.

Underground space.

In just a short time, the place was completely destroyed.

Compared to this, the commotion caused by Nitero earlier is insignificant.

As far as the eye could see, there were large pits and cracks in the ground, and messy rubble and ruins were everywhere. The air was filled with thick smoke and dust that could not be completely dissipated.

Because the old smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, new smoke and dust would rise as Lynn fought the Ant King.

Peng!

Lynn seized the opportunity and punched the Ant King's torso hard with his right fist, leaving a noticeable dent on the Ant King's dark green, armor-like body.

In contrast, Lynn was almost unharmed during this period.

Just as he was about to continue to the next step, he saw the Ant King strike a different pose. The way his hands moved was both unfamiliar and familiar, drawing irregular trajectories in the air.

Lynn frowned.

This is—the Water Flow Rock Smashing Fist?!

So that's how it is. Did you learn it on your own during the exchange just now?

Although he knew that the King Ant possessed amazing learning abilities, he was still inevitably surprised when he saw the King Ant unleash the prototype of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

The Ant King truly lives up to its reputation as the king raised up by the Chimera Ant clan; its terrifying talent and ability are truly astonishing.

Born with a top-tier physique, a veritable killing machine, and capable of growing stronger through eating, such beings even possess extraordinary learning abilities.

If it weren't for encountering humans with advanced technology and the "Rose of the Poor" trap, the Ant King would have had a hard time dying.

Unfortunately, the Ant King encountered him and had no time to continue learning.

He will take care of the ant king today!

On the other side, the Ant King was using the [Water Stream Rock Smash Fist] he had just learned, imitating Lynn's techniques for offense and defense.

Indeed, this martial art is very useful—the Ant King thought to himself.

After personally experiencing it, it gained a clearer understanding of the importance of the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a power amplifier.

For a creature that doesn't yet possess any skills, learning the Water Flow Rock Smash Fist can significantly enhance its combat power.

Unfortunately, it couldn't achieve the same level of proficiency as Lynn; it had only managed a rough imitation and wasn't fully functional in actual use.

贯.

In addition, it found that the style of this boxing style was somewhat incompatible with it.

This is a top-tier martial art that flows like water, emphasizing both offense and defense, and focusing on balance.

But it prefers a domineering attack, the more direct and powerful the better. If it can defeat the enemy with one move, it will never use a second move, which saves trouble.

It seems that "skills" also have the problem of adaptability.

What suits someone is not the same for everyone.

If one could create their own style of movement, that would surely be the most suitable for them.

It made up its mind to learn more about the martial arts that humans have mastered afterward, and it would learn any kind of technique as long as it was useful.

With ample knowledge at that time, one can create a move that best suits them and enhance their combat power.

palace.

Mo Laowu and the others stood around the machine, their faces tense, staring intently at the screen, not daring to miss a single glance.

Of course, they couldn't actually see Lynn and the Ant King clearly.

Besides Netero, the strongest were Morel and Kate, but even so, they couldn't see their figures clearly.

Like Xiao Jie and the others, all they could do was observe the changing scenery to understand that the battle was extremely intense.

It's frustrating, but that's the harsh reality.

The difference in strength is too great; they don't even have the right to watch, let alone fight.

Netero, the only one who could see both of them, also showed a strange expression, his face gradually becoming serious and his eyes filled with surprise.

Currently, only half of Netero can be seen, and it's common to lose sight of both players, making it significantly more difficult to watch than for Kim.

But he also noticed the changes in the Ant King.

Unexpectedly—the Ant King actually learned Lynn's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!

In such a short time, and not through normal instruction, but through fighting Lynn, he learned.

Even if it's just a prototype, it's enough to show that the ant king has an extraordinary learning ability.

Netero didn't show it on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.

He had learned about the martial art of "Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist" during a previous sparring session with Lynn, and he held it in high regard.

Afterwards, he also learned the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist from Lynn, but he could only say that he imitated a part of it and dared not say that he had truly mastered it.

It was because of this learning experience that he was even more shocked by the Ant King's rapid mastery of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

Netero's expression turned solemn. This was troublesome—he had thought that the Ant King was all strength and only relied on instinct to fight, and that Lynn had a chance of winning.

But now the Ant King is like a sponge absorbing water, rapidly learning Lynn's skills and narrowing the gap between them.

In that case, Lynn will face an even more difficult battle.

Fortunately, Lynn's Nen ability is unique, possessing many amazing special abilities that the Chimera Ant King probably can't learn.

But dragging it out for too long might not be good either. We can only hope that Lynn can end the fight as soon as possible; otherwise, things might change.

It seems the Ant King wasn't lying when he said he wanted to learn techniques—a feeling of relief rose in his heart at that moment.

Fortunately, he only used [Heart Drop Punch Listening] once. With the Ant King's enviable learning talent, he might be able to learn it after seeing Heart Drop Punch Listening a few more times.

The Ant King will then be even more difficult to defeat.

Netero looked at Lynn on the screen, a hint of worry flashing in his weathered eyes. He wondered if Lynn could handle the situation.
