Living in Hunter x Hunter

"10, 9...1! Player number 2558 wins."

"You can go to the 20th floor now." He handed the ticket to the other party.

This ticket can be used to obtain the corresponding amount of money on the corresponding floor, and it also serves as a registration form to continue the competition.

The audience erupted in cheers.

This kind of match, where the outcome of the battle was suddenly changed, was unexpected for them, but they also found it very interesting.

Some people enjoy watching underdogs win games.

"Thank you!" contestant number 2558 said.

As for the one who was knocked down, the staff of the Sky Arena have already arranged for someone to go up into the ring and carry him off, and of course, they will also provide him with basic medical care.

There is some guarantee in place; otherwise, too many casualties would affect the number of participants.

Lucci continued to host the competition, but unlike the first competition, the contestants he encountered next were all quite ordinary.

It usually takes less than three minutes to finish.

Some players don't even need to score 10 points because their opponents will simply concede defeat.

In less than a morning, Lucci had completed the work sessions he had originally planned for himself.

Anyway, I just want to get familiar with the job, so I applied to go and take a look at the 50th floor.

"You're going to the 50th floor?" Martha asked Lucci in confusion. She knew Lucci's identity and didn't expect that he would be transferred to a different floor on his first day of work.

"Then you should know that you need to pass an assessment to be transferred to a different floor, right?"

Referees in the Sky Arena are paid according to their floor level, with higher floors earning higher salaries.

The assessment standard is naturally combat level, requiring the candidate to defeat the examiner or remain undefeated.

"Then let's have the assessment. I can accept it."

For a regular referee, it's definitely not that easy. Usually, they have to achieve certain performance targets on their respective floors before they can be evaluated by higher-level referees.

But Lucci is different; he's the chief referee's adopted son.

"Wait a moment, I'll arrange it for you." They would make the arrangements directly by phone.

Then he took Lucci to the 57th floor.

The referee assessment office.

A large industry like Sky Arena employs tens of thousands of people.

When Lucci arrived, there were other people participating in the assessment as well.

The referees' evaluation, like the competition itself, is also based on a ten-point system.

The difference is that the evaluation criteria are confirmed by the examiners.

Lucci's arrival also caught the attention of the staff, who began to whisper among themselves.

With someone of Lucci's age serving as a referee, it's easy for word to spread among the staff.

First, Lucci's identity is easily known, and then comes the legend of his adoptive father, Barn Frank.

Some people may not think much of the chief referee, but when it comes to his legendary experiences, he becomes the object of admiration and idol for others.

Starting as an ordinary person and working his way up to become the chief referee and manager of the Sky Arena, that's incredibly inspiring.

Lucci paid no attention to their comments.

Soon it was his turn.

"Lucci Phoenix! I'm quite curious why you use Phoenix as your last name?" the examiner asked.

This is also a question that some people have about the identities of Lucci and Barn.

As an adopted son, why doesn't he use Frank's surname?

"Does the assessment require me to answer this question?" Lucci countered.

"She's really not cute at all." The examiner was a middle-aged man in his forties.

"But as Barn Frank's son, your martial arts skills should be quite good, right?" The middle-aged man was certain of this.

He wouldn't underestimate Lucci just because of his age.

After saying that, he launched the first attack on Lucci.

Lucci only dodged and did not attack; at this moment, he had already opened his Sharingan.

A Jiu-Jitsu style!

This strength is far beyond the level of level 50; it's probably above level 100.

Sky Arena is a fighting industry, and naturally, it needs martial arts practitioners from various schools. Even if you are not a martial artist, your family members can also become staff members of Sky Arena.

It can be said that the existence of the Sky Arena has relieved many martial arts practitioners of many worries about survival.

Since Lucci had just become a referee, he was unaware that there were factions among referees.

First, there is the division between independent practitioners and martial arts schools, and then the division between the various schools.

Many high-level referees are martial artists from various martial arts schools.

There's a sense of class stratification involved.

There are many factors involved in combat, but Lucci mainly categorizes them as physical attributes, reaction speed, and combat experience.

As for martial arts techniques, unless they are techniques with a profound and mysterious martial arts concept, ordinary techniques require physical strength to support them.

With superior physical abilities, one can win even without much skill or experience in combat.

A typical example is Gon from the anime, who pushed himself up to the 200th floor with just one push.

Lucci's physical abilities are naturally exceptional.

After dodging for a while, Lucci began to make direct contact, but he still adopted a defensive stance to understand the changes in moves after the collision.

The examiners initially tried to overpower Lu Qi with their strength, but soon discovered that they were not even as strong as the 12-year-old boy.

They then adopted a joint-locking fighting style.

But Lucci reacts very quickly, and even if there is a possibility of being locked up, he can break free with force.

Is this what genius is all about?!

The examiners thought of their fellow disciples, some of whom were considered geniuses, but compared to Lu Qi in front of them, they were far inferior.

The examiners stopped.

"With your strength, you could easily serve as a referee on floors 150 and above." This also signifies the end of Lucci's assessment.

"Thank you for your guidance!" Lucci said gratefully.

He didn't have much combat experience; he mainly relied on his adoptive father's fighting skills to develop his dodging abilities.

"With your talent, you shouldn't be a referee; you should be competing," the assessor advised.

"No need, I haven't accumulated enough experience yet, being a referee is good enough," Lucci replied.

The examiner paused for a moment, then realized, "I see. That does suit your path."

He recalled Barn Frank's path to fame.

First he was a contestant in the Sky Arena, then he became a referee, and later he resigned to continue competing in the Sky Arena.

He climbed to the 200th floor, experienced the baptism of the 200th floor, and finally became a referee again.

Want to watch the battles of various martial arts masters?

This seems to be a good path for "cultivation".

His martial arts spirit, which had been dormant due to his talent, suddenly began to stir at this moment.
