Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

Every cell in the body is frantically demanding, digesting the life energy like a long drought finally ending in a downpour.

During this process, the mental energy on Netero's surface became stronger and stronger, expanding from its original light layer.

The old Netero is completely different from the Netero in his prime.

He once said that his current strength is only half of what it was in his heyday.

Although Link felt that this was more likely a joke from Netero, it was undeniable that his strength had indeed declined a lot.

As an old man, his strength is at S-level, and he can only reach S level after adjusting his condition and wearing the heart T-shirt.

However, in Link's eyes, the aura emanating from Netero was constantly rising.

As the amount of [Nitromi] consumed increased, the life energy accumulated in Netero's body gradually approached a peak value.

The pure mental energy seemed to be free, flowing through his body and radiating light.

The majestic mental energy formed a strong light, making him look like a ball of light, emitting a dazzling light.

The thought that had been tempered through thousands of trials was very dazzling.

On weekdays he looks like an ordinary old man, and his mind is eerily quiet.

At this moment, all of them burst out at once, and even the ground beneath their feet was shaken with countless cracks, just like an earthquake.

At the same time, Netero now doesn't look like the old man he used to be.

The appearance has changed significantly.

The originally kind face had many wrinkles, but now they are gradually fading and moving towards a younger look.

Although his hair was still gray, it had become more lustrous, with a hint of black at the bottom.

Just like a dead tree coming back to life in spring, Netero is now like a dry sponge, madly absorbing the "water of life".

Bijande opened his mouth slightly, and faced with Netero's momentum, he subconsciously took half a step back.

At the same time, a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a guess emerged in his mind:

[Could it be that the old man's strength is even greater than mine? ]

This idea was extinguished by Bijande as soon as it came to mind.

If he were to compare his previous self with Netero after he ate [Nitromi], he would still be a little hesitant to judge.

But the fact is, he also took [Nitolomi] and saw a huge improvement.

So no matter what, his father will not surpass him, it's just that he has made improvements in different aspects on the original basis.

The most obvious aspects are appearance and strength, but the deeper and more important one is lifespan.

Link also had some estimation of this.

Comparing it with Jin and Bijande's previous performance, he estimated that Netero's lifespan would increase by about a hundred years after eating this bowl of rice.

This is not a small amount.

You have to know that Netero has already lived for more than a hundred years, and it will be no problem for him to live for a few more decades after being treated by Happiny.

If we add another hundred years, we can live for two or three hundred years.

This is now a thoroughly "old thing".

After a long time, Netero felt the vitality filling his body and gently exhaled.

It seems that I have never felt so comfortable.

Do not……

Still there.

If I really have to say, I felt just as good when I used the Zero in front of the Ant King and was healed by Link.

Seeing Netero's breath gradually stabilize, Link knew that his strength was almost fixed at this level.

As expected, after eating this bowl of [Nitromi], Netero's strength reached S-level.

Part of this is due to the increased strength of [Nitolomi], and the other part is due to the younger body.

Unlike other people who take [Nitromide], Nitro's situation is rather special.

There were no elderly people in the team on this trip to the Dark Continent; most of them were in their twenties and thirties.

Therefore, they are still in the stage of growing strength, and there is still some potential that has not been tapped, and they can continue to improve.

The oldest is Bijande, but he is also middle-aged and is at the peak of his strength.

Therefore, the lifespan that [Nitromi] brings to them is simply to make their bodies younger and extend their upper limit of lifespan.

But Netero is different.

He is over a hundred years old and a real old man.

According to Geno Zoldyck, Netero was already an old man when he was a child.

Therefore, the lifespan provided by [Nitrolomi] allowed Netero to recover to a younger age to a certain extent.

Not only does he look younger, but his strength has also recovered a lot to that of his youth.

If we calculate based on a total lifespan of two to three hundred years, Netero, who is now over a hundred years old, is considered to be close to his prime.

Therefore, Netero possesses S-level strength even in normal times.

If you spend some time to consolidate your strength and adjust your condition, you can wear a T-shirt or something.

Link estimated that even if this strength could not reach S+, it would still be a big step forward in S level.

Netero's figure flashed, and when he reappeared at the same place, a round mirror appeared in his hand.

Looking at the much younger face in the mirror, Netero couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"Wow, it's great to be young~"

Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, Netero felt mixed emotions. He really never thought that this day would come.

Now that Netero had finished, Link finally asked:

"Old man, there is something I have always been curious about."

"Did you eat the life-extending 'Hope' in the Dark Continent?"

Netero has lived for so many years and has exceeded the upper limit of normal humans. Link feels that it is not just because of his mental energy.

It's more like eating [Hope] which can prolong life just like [Nitromide]

Netero's hand holding the mirror trembled. After a moment of silence, he slowly put the mirror down and said in a deep voice:

"Yes...I did eat something with similar effects when I was young."

As he spoke, Netero showed a look of nostalgia... even regret, and said in a slightly bitter tone

"Back then, I was still young and didn't know the immensity of the world. I dragged Lin Nie and Jaeger Zoldyck along with me to the Dark Continent."

"I thought that as the strongest in the world, even if I couldn't conquer that continent, I would have no problem exploring the edge."

"It turns out I was wrong."

"That's a forbidden area for humans. Too many terrifying creatures appear constantly, and the same goes for the strange effects of [disasters]."

"Strictly speaking, we haven't even reached the Dark Continent. We've only been exploring its outskirts."

"But it was that small space that caused us to suffer heavy losses."

"Jieger was seriously injured and died shortly after returning. Lin Nie also fell seriously ill."

"If it weren't for your [Vanilla], Lin Nie might have gone to see Jeger now."

At this point, Netero's expression darkened slightly, revealing a hint of loneliness.

"I was the luckiest of the three. Not only did I return safely, but I was also lucky enough to get a good warehouse during that crisis."

"Although I don't know the exact reason, I did gain a lot of life energy."

“That’s the main reason I’ve lived this long.”

Netero did not choose to keep it to himself and admitted frankly that he had indeed used similar methods to prolong his life.

But it was obtained by accident.

Link understood, and it was exactly as he had guessed.

Since Netero has also eaten [Nitrolomi], I am almost done with this business.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Link prepared to say goodbye.

He has someone more important to meet.

Link took a step forward, and ripples appeared around him, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The courtyard, which had finally become lively, became quiet again.

Only Netero and Byander, the father and son, were left staring at each other, and the scene seemed awkward for a while.

Bi Yangde couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that this old man is really stronger than him now?

It’s not that he was overthinking it, it’s just that the aura Netero exuded was much stronger.

It vaguely resembled the state he had seen in his childhood.

Bi Yangde still remembers the strength the old man showed when he was a child.

I have to admit that the old man’s title of “former world’s strongest” is really not exaggerated.

Of course, that was based on excluding the Dongfulisi who were far away in the Dark Continent.

If East Fulishi is included, Bijande believes that even Netero in his prime cannot be called the "World's Strongest"

As for now, needless to say, in addition to the original Dongfulis, there is also a more powerful Link.

"Cough cough."

Netero coughed twice, then wanted to put the round mirror in his hand on the table beside him.

But when I looked carefully, I found that the tables and chairs were shattered by the momentum that just burst out, leaving only parts on the ground.

Netero glared, scratched his face with his fingers, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, ignoring everything else.

"Come on, Bijande, tell me about your experience."

Netero said softly while stroking his beard with a curious expression.

He was very curious about their experiences.

What kind of scenery did they see, and what kind of dangers did they encounter?

Bi Yangde's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled brightly, also not fussing about the details, and sat down directly on the ground.

"Well... our experience on this trip is indeed very rich." Bi Yangde raised his head slightly and looked at the clear sky.

A strange color appeared in his eyes.

"We were besieged by countless sea beasts as huge as mountains, and we encountered the Bone Tribe, who are aliens..."

"By the way, we finally met the person who was said to have traveled to the Dark Continent hundreds of years ago."

"East Fleet!"

Upon hearing this, Netero, who was listening carefully, was startled and a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Did you actually encounter that existence?"

"No, should I say that person is still alive?"

Netero muttered in a deep voice, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, he was surprised that Dong was still alive.

After all, it is unbelievable to tell others that he has been able to survive alone in the Dark Continent for hundreds of years.

Bijand rubbed his short-cropped beard and continued:

"Yeah, not only did we meet him, but Link even sparred with him."

Upon hearing that Link had sparred with Tofuku, Netero perked up, curious about the outcome of the battle.
