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

The rooftop of a building in the distance.

Dongba, holding binoculars, happened to witness the intense battle between Lynn and Hisoka, and was terrified, but subconsciously continued watching.

These two freaks are actually fighting!

Of all the candidates, these two were the ones who posed the greatest threat to him; he didn't even dare to get close to them.

Unexpectedly, I saw these two fighting in the third round of the exam... I wonder who was stronger?

It was with this thought in mind that he endured his fear and continued to watch the battle from a distance.

The Dongba were not the only ones paying attention to this battle; the examiner, Butz, was also in the monitoring room.

In the dimly lit room, Boots pressed his entire head close to the screen, as if afraid of missing any scene, without blinking.

"How lucky, those two actually started fighting on their own!"

"Hmm... judging by strength, the one in the clown costume has the absolute upper hand; that guy's finished."

"Huh? Ice? Isn't he an Emission type? Could he be a Transmutation type?"

In the entire monitoring room, only Boots was talking to himself, and at crucial moments he would excitedly and unconsciously pull out his hair.

The Mediterranean Sea is not without reason.

……

The human chin is relatively fragile.

A severe blow to the chin can easily lead to concussion, dizziness, shock, and other adverse effects.

But it depends on the person.

After being hit by Chopper, Hisoka simply raised his head higher, leaving a slight mark on his chin, before standing still.

He stared blankly at the moon, as if reliving every frame of the scene just now.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lynn and Chopper stepped back and stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Hisoka, their fighting spirit ignited.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as Hisoka craves battle, Lynn also intends to enjoy this fight.

It's not that he's as abnormal as Hisoka; he doesn't enjoy the battle itself, but rather wants to learn through combat.

Defeating Hisoka can certainly yield cards, but that's not his only value... Right now, he's an excellent "sparring partner"!

Strong individuals are few and far between, especially when fighting dangerous people, which often comes at the cost of one's life. However, he does not have this problem when he travels in two separate forms.

At this moment, he can fight against someone of Hisoka's caliber without any worries, experiencing the thrill of battling stronger opponents, which is extremely beneficial to his growth.

Hisoka slowly lowered his head, his golden eyes reflecting the figures of Lynn and Chopper. At some point, the corners of his mouth curled up again, this time with an even more exaggerated curve. His narrow eyes flashed with a bewitching light, and he seemed to be in a different background, the space rendered in a purplish-red hue, completely immersed in the moment.

He is re-evaluating Lynn.

Just that brief scene has completely overturned my previous views!

The chanting was just a disguise; candidate number 300 is definitely not from the Department of Release!

That sudden ice spear was the opponent's true power!

Transmutation type? No, this should belong to the Conjuration type... Hisoka thought that the ice spear just now was more like a concrete object, which could be seen even without using [Conjuration]. It was obviously not a regular Transmutation type, but closer to the Conjuration type. It might be a combination of Transmutation and Conjuration types of Nen ability.

That is indeed the case.

Lynn's card abilities are mostly materialized, including the card itself, card items, and card abilities.

Hisoka thought further. Since it was a manifestation, it must have something special about it, rather than an ordinary change in Nen. He needed to test it further.

That turn and run just now could also have been a ploy to lure someone into a counterattack...

Thinking of this, Hisoka smiled and looked at Lynn. This fruit didn't seem as bad as he had thought. Let him enjoy it a little longer.

Almost instantly, Hisoka dashed forward and quickly arrived in front of Lynn.

He clenched his right fist and pulled it back to gather strength before punching forward. Thick Nen energy gathered above him, and the light was dazzling!

Faced with this scene, alarm bells rang in Lynn's mind.

Hisoka's oppressive power needs no introduction; it is top-notch.

But this kind of threat is exactly what he needs!

Lynn gritted his teeth and made a hand gesture, and an ice wall was about to form, but it was still too slow - Hisoka's right fist came down and forcefully shattered the ice wall that had not yet formed!

The momentum didn't slow down, and it was about to hit Lynn right in the face!

Lynn could even feel the powerful air pressure piercing his face!

boom!

Chopper came to the rescue just in time, kicking Hisoka in the shoulder, causing his fist to just graz Lynn's face.

Hisoka seemed unsurprised by this. With a smirk, he used his slightly toned left side to raise his right leg, which whistled through the air like a steel whip and suddenly struck Lynn's waist!

boom!

Lynn was sent flying backwards, but he managed to use Paper Drawing in mid-air to stabilize himself and land. He grimaced and looked at Chopper, who was fighting Hisoka not far away.

The power gap is too great.

In terms of Nen capacity, efficiency of its use, advanced techniques, and even combat experience, there is a terrifying gap between him and Hisoka.

Hisoka is definitely not in the B-class category; he should be in the A-class category, but it's unclear which specific sub-stage he belongs to.

But this is a good thing.

The stronger Hisoka is, the better the quality of the cards you get after defeating him!

High risk, high reward.

Moreover, he only appeared as a clone, so there was no risk at all!

This battle was unequal from beginning to end. If Hisoka died, he was truly dead, but it didn't matter if his clone died.

Lynn checked the remaining Nen energy in his body... It was about enough. Dragging it out any longer would delay important matters, so it was time to end this battle.

boom--

Hisoka casually kicked Chopper away, and at the same time, Chopper, who was flying in the air, suddenly turned into Nen and dissipated.

Lynn's original body recalled Chopper; otherwise, it would have been a tragedy if he had been killed by the bomb.

"Huh?" Hisoka was taken aback, not expecting this.

So this reindeer was a Nen beast? Did it collapse on its own due to insufficient strength, or was its Nen insufficient to sustain itself?

In that moment of stunned silence, Lynn quickly closed the distance between them, revealing a strange smile.

From beginning to end, you were the one who was treated as prey—Hisoka!

That was a smile... Hisoka always felt something was off about it, like a creature in nature making a desperate last stand.

"Give me--"

Go eat shit!

As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling, winter-like aura burst forth from Lynn's body. Visibly, Lynn's hair, eyebrows, and even his entire body froze into ice, spreading all the way to the ground and finally to Hisoka.

What is this? Hisoka frowned.

The moment his body touched the cold air, it was frozen solid, especially his right arm, which was almost completely frozen. The energy in that area was rapidly reduced, leaving him with limited resistance.

Overall it's alright, give him some time and it will be resolved.

He truly hadn't expected that Lynn possessed such an astonishingly powerful freezing ability.

The effect is amazing... but it seems the cost is a bit too high.

Hisoka watched Lynn's life force rapidly decline until it reached zero, and silently thought to himself.

This is a Nen ability used at the cost of one's life.

The truth is exactly as Hisoka thought, and this is the ultimate finishing move of the Ice-Magic!

[Absolute Freeze - Ice and Snow Domain]!

Sacrificing one's life to transform into ice, permanently freezing a target that is extremely difficult to unfreeze.

In the original story, Leon spent three years using the "Drops of the Moon," a spell that can dispel all magic in the world, to break the spell.

Under normal circumstances, Lynn wouldn't use this trump card, but since what's standing in front of Hisoka now is a clone, it doesn't matter.

Just when Hisoka thought it was all over, something unexpected happened.

The next moment, Hisoka's pupils trembled violently, and he frantically retreated backward, trying to get as far away from Lynn, who had turned into ice, as possible.

Run!

At the same time, the bomb inside Lynn's body was triggered, and a terrifying tremor was emitted, followed by an extremely dazzling light!

The light expanded rapidly like a balloon in a short time, quickly enveloping the entire playground!

boom!!

The roles of hunter and prey are instantly reversed!
