Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

"Die." Having landed a successful blow, Fu Long seized the opportunity and delivered another heavy punch, this time aimed at the head of the bullet gun.

Bang! A circular crater appeared where the arena was smashed, surrounded by cracks.

Fu Long used all his strength in that punch, and after taking a few deep breaths, he raised his fist.

The slingshot head wasn't flattened, but his rolled-back eyes and stopped breathing proved that he was indeed dead.

Fu Long took a few steps back, feeling a tightness in his chest. After all, killing someone was not something one could easily get used to.

But there's really no way around it in this world.

Fu Long understood that he would face many more challenges in the future, especially the upcoming battle against the higher-ups of the underground forces. Being soft-hearted would only harm him.

"KO! Fu Long wins. It's unbelievable that a player with such strong shooting skills could be defeated by Fu Long's fists. I wonder who will dare to challenge Fu Long next."

The commentator was also shouting, and the crowd in the stands was making wave after wave of noise.

Having calmed down, Fu Long slightly raised his head to look at the stands, because he had just felt two different gazes directed at him.

Upon closer inspection, you can spot the two individuals. One is a middle-aged man whose eyes hold murderous intent, yet also reveal a hint of insecurity.

Clearly, this person must know Danqiang, or rather, he's here to seek revenge.

That's simple. When you actually meet him, it will definitely be after you've become a hunter, and you'll still have time to grow stronger.

The other one was a woman with long hair that covered half of her face, revealing only one eye.

And there was a hint of curiosity in her gaze.

Fu Long took a deep breath. This is troublesome. It's not Zhu Yuxiu. So, there are new people here. What should I do if there are many of them?

"Complete the hidden mission and kill the enemy for the first time. Reward: one gold coin."

Hmm, this is my first time killing an enemy. Wait, I've defeated many enemies before.

After taking another look at the slingshot that was being carried away, Fu Long understood.

The so-called killing must be actual killing, just like how Feli was defeated by herself but did not die, so killing her opponent was the first time.

This "enemy" specifically refers to humans; killing ferocious beasts in the past does not count.

Great, I can play the slot machine again. Fu Long secretly clenched his fist. Today's battle went well, two firsts.

The first time I was injured, I was given the Fiery Eyes of Truth, which, although different from those in mythology, were still very useful.

And what about this time?

Fu Long wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he left the arena area and headed towards his rest room.

A figure was already waiting at the door of the lounge; it was the middle-aged man.

"My name is Lai Ao." The middle-aged man looked at Fu Long and introduced himself very politely.

"Hey, you're not thinking of getting revenge for the bullet gun, are you? You two seem to be on such good terms?"

"I wouldn't say we're related, but we do have some connection. So, in the next round, would you like to challenge me, or accept my challenge?" Lai Ao said.

Fu Long pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, but that would be a long time from now."

"Okay." Lai Ao nodded and turned to leave.

"Wow, wow, that's great! It looks like you've gained the approval of 200 floors."

What a perverted voice! Fu Long felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw it was the perverted fruit farmer, Xisuo.

"You'll soon have lots of interesting toys, so stop focusing on me all the time," Fu Long said helplessly.

Hisoka chuckled a few times, which made Fu Long even more uneasy. He hoped that Hisoka wouldn't suddenly attack, as he was no match for him at the moment.

"Let me give you some advice: you'd better have your own weapon. Although it's not a manipulation type, once you use a weapon well, it's no less powerful than telekinesis. I'm really looking forward to seeing how far you'll go after you grow."

After Hisoka finished speaking, he turned and left through another passage, waving as he did so.

"Damn it, I'm still being watched," Fu Long scoffed. "This guy, can't shake him off, huh?"

However, the weapon Hisoka mentioned was indeed necessary, and Fu Long began to seriously consider which weapon would be better.

Chapter 22 Preparing to Leave the Arena

Weapons are also a rather unique element in Hunter x Hunter.

Many masters have their own unique weapons, such as Hisoka's playing cards. As a change-type character, Hisoka's use of playing cards has indeed played a very strong role.

Leaving aside the control system, there's also the fishing rod that Xiao Jie initially used. It's fair to say that using weapons well can indeed enhance combat power.

But the premise is that it has to suit you.

Hisoka uses playing cards; that's a skill he mastered himself. If you let other people try it, it's a completely different story.

That's not right. My slot machine keeps giving me things from Journey to the West, so it should have weapons.

For example, why hasn't that stick, which can be long or short, thin or thick, hard or very hard, made any movement?

Forget it, let's wait and see.

Having been given a chance to play a slot machine, Fu Long knew he had to make the most of it. With that thought, he became engrossed in the slot machine, inserted coins, and smacked it, causing the machine to spin.

Fu Long secretly thought to himself, how about giving me a weapon this time? Not the Ruyi Jingu Bang, nor the Zijin Liang Bridge, a nine-toothed rake would be fine too.

The slot machine stopped quickly, and Fu Long couldn't help but gasp when he saw it.

Is this a matching set?

With keen hearing, the new extended vocal technique "Sound" is now fully integrated, achieving 100% integration.

Isn't this Melody's ability? He can hear the sound no matter how far away it is.

This is going to be fun. With the ability to see clearly and see a thousand miles, plus the ability to hear the wind, I guess I've maxed out my detection skills.

That's a good option, especially since this is a crucial moment.

Fu Long opened his eyes, considered the situation, and realized that he was about to face armed harassment from underground forces, so this ability would be quite useful.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Long used his Super Ears skill.

Soon, sounds began to emerge from all around. After filtering out the useless noises, Fu Long found the voices of two people talking around a corner.

One of them was the woman who had been watching Fu Long from the stands earlier: "He's very strong. In a one-on-one fight, we probably wouldn't be a match for him. Plus, he has super defensive capabilities. That nine-headed skull is really hard for us to deal with."

"Fortunately, one of the nine skulls was broken. I don't think it can be repaired in the short term, so it should be fine."

The other one was a man with a somewhat hoarse voice, who seemed quite old. However, Fu Long couldn't see him at the moment and didn't know what he looked like, so he just remembered his voice.

Once you've heard a sound once, you'll be able to sense it when it appears around you again; that's the best protection.

A woman's voice came through: "I hope so. There's also that painful move, but I can't figure out what it is."

"Assassination is the only option; an open attack would be very difficult."

"Are you going to help?" the woman asked.

"Of course, his death was imminent when he stepped out of the arena."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Fu Long was speechless. With such confidence, their assassination skills must be very strong. He had to be careful.

He glanced at the damaged nine-headed skull again; it was almost fully restored by now, since all it took was sufficient mental energy.

Let's rest for one night before leaving. There are still three months left. If we can shake them off, we'll head straight to Whale Island. I remember Leorio working on the island, and Gon boarded the ship from there, right? We'll run into them all.

After a night, the nine-headed skull was fully repaired, and Fu Long left the rest room and walked out of the arena.

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Fu Long paused for a moment.

Killing people indiscriminately is not allowed in the Heavens Arena; otherwise, when Killua warned Colonel Sand, he wouldn't have just threatened him, but would have attacked him directly.

This place is still protected; if you want to kill someone, you'll have to prove yourself in the arena.

So as long as he doesn't leave this door, Fu Long is safe.

Ning, with keen eyesight; Yin, with exceptional hearing.

Standing in the hall, Fu Long looked around. Behind a pillar, the woman was reporting the situation on her phone. Fu Long suddenly stopped in the middle of the hall, which puzzled her as well.

Outside the door, in a distance, one could hear the conversation between Mo Xiu and Zhu; their fighting abilities were slightly weaker.

Previously, the airship crew planned to attack Fu Long because they were unaware of his strength. Now, they know that they are no match for Fu Long at all.

In the shadows outside the door, a black figure blended seamlessly into the shadows, making it impossible to tell that anyone was there. This was the key person in the assassination attempt.

Underground forces, potential candidates for the Shadow Beast, Shadow.

Is an assassin planning to kill with a single blow?

Four people? Fu Long squinted, feeling that something was off.

Upon closer inspection, there was another drunkard near Ying, who looked quite intoxicated. He casually leaned against a corner of the wall, but the way he was leaning against it suggested that he could strike at any moment.

Fu Long understood the situation. Five people would be difficult to deal with, but it would be great if he could eliminate one of them.

Fu Long was thinking about whether there was any method he could try.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Long sat back down on the sofa in the hall, closed his eyes slightly, looking like he was tired and wanted to rest. But in reality, Fu Long was simulating many scenarios.

Using the poisoned dagger to strike the horse would certainly cause the assassin and the drunkard considerable pain, but then what? Kill them?

It seemed a bit difficult, because the woman behind them was also on high alert, ready to rescue the two at any moment.

Moreover, one or two psychic butterflies could be seen appearing around her from time to time. Although she didn't know what they were for, Fu Long sensed danger from the butterflies.

If we attack one of them, all three of them will probably have to get moving, which will make things very difficult.

That's the downside of working in a small group; unless you're like Feli, who has direct poison coverage, it's really difficult to completely eliminate the enemy.

"Keep an eye on things here for a while." Just then, Zhu's voice came from afar.

"Where are you going?" Xiu's voice was tinged with helplessness, but he didn't stop her.

Clearly, Zhu had left in this manner frequently before.

"Hehe, of course there's good news. I reckon that guy won't be coming out today. He's a very cautious person. He's safe in the arena, but he'll die as soon as he comes out. He's not stupid. I think we'll just be waiting for nothing today."

After saying that, Zhu left. Fu Long could even hear that after leaving, Zhu quickly headed towards a corner of the city.

"Tch, just say you're looking for women, you're acting like this again."

Fu Long's lips curled into a grin. So Zhu was a lecherous scoundrel. That was interesting. And given the current situation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take action, since the other party had left behind a lone sniff.
