Chapter 126: Advanced x Skills - Creating a New Fighting Style



Alex takes a closer look at his new Advanced Nen skills: Gyo, In, En, Shu, Ko, Ken, and Ryu, feeling overwhelmed by the flood of data.

Wow, that's quite a lot of information, Alex thinks. Still, there's no reason to make this complicated. Let's quickly go through them one by one.

Gyo lvl 3

Effect: Focus a larger than normal portion of your Aura into one specific body part, increasing the boost of Ren for that body part alone. The other parts of the body proportionally lose their benefits from Ren. Increasing the level of this skill makes the shifting of Aura faster and smoother.

Effect: Increase the speed of your Aura shifting by 25% + 5% per level.

Effect: When used to focus more Aura in the eyes, be able to see hidden objects and people, and increases SNS by up to 50% + 10% per level.

Aura Cost: 5 Aura per Minute + 1 per level.

Note: Gyo is merely a redistribution of Aura when using Ren, concentrating it on a specific body part, most often the eyes.

Gyo is a good tool to strengthen a certain part of me, especially my eyes, making them able to detect hidden and invisible things. Essentially, Gyo is just a slight variation of the default Ren. I just tweak the balanced Aura distribution of Ren to favor specific parts. I need to master this so I can use it instinctively in battle.

In lvl 3

Effect: This advanced form of Zetsu renders your Aura or an Aura construct invisible.

Effect: The higher the rank of this skill, the harder the invisible Aura or Aura construct is to detect, and the larger the object can be.

Aura Cost: Depending on the size of the object.

Note: Someone else using Gyo, Zetsu, or similar skills can potentially see or feel your hidden Aura or Aura construct.

In can hide my conjurations. Very useful for making my grenades invisible—hehe, I'm getting a few ideas here. Also, if I use In, I can keep Mustrano conjured and pretend to be unarmed. It's also great for hiding my Aura during battle without resorting to Zetsu, which would weaken my defenses.

En lvl 3

Effect: This advanced application of Ten and Ren uses Ren to cover a wide area around the user. The user then contains that Aura and gives shape to it using Ten. This creates an area where the user can feel any kind of shape and movement within that area.

Effect: En size of 2 meters up to 10 meters + 1 / 5 meters per level.

Aura Cost: 5 to 10 Aura per Minute + 0.5 to 1 per level (depending on minimum and maximum size).

Note: The shape of En is usually a circle but can be changed with a lot of training.

En creates a huge Nen bubble around me that lets me detect anything within its radius. I really love this technique. I can become aware of everything around me! This is honestly the Nen technique I'm most excited about… what would happen if I reached 50 to 100 meters in range? I'd probably feel like a god. With this technique, I can avoid ambushes and quickly scout for dangers. I could even wear something over my eyes and play tricks on people.

Shu lvl 3

Effect: This advanced application of Ten enshrouds an object with Aura.

Effect: Objects can be used in conjunction with any applicable Basic and Advanced Nen skills. The items in question gain the same boost as your body.

Note: This basic technique opens up a lot of possibilities.

Shu extends Ten, Ren, or even Ko to objects and my conjurations. It's essentially the bridge between something else and me. Looks like the new effect of my Genius Conjurer lvl 3 increases the boost of Shu if I use it on my own conjurations. Mustrano will get a huge boost if I use Shu in combination with Ren… but there's also the next skill.

Ko lvl 3

Effect: This combination of Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo concentrates the user's entire Aura into one particular body part, raising it to the very limit, leaving the rest of the body in a state of Zetsu.

Effect: Ren effect on the particular part x 3 + 0.1 per level.

Effect: Increases most types of damage done to you by 5 (similar to Zetsu).

Effect: Decreases defense against all types of attacks by 25% (similar to Zetsu).

Aura Cost: Ren Aura cost x 3 + 0.1 per level.

Note: In a Nen battle, this skill can instantly kill your enemy—or yourself. Can be used in conjunction with Shu to strengthen an object.

Ko is essentially Ren on steroids, focusing all my Aura into one single point and leaving everything else in a defenseless state of Zetsu. Clearly high risk, high reward. How strong would a fully powered Ko on Mustrano be? I could probably pierce anything. I'm getting goosebumps just doing the math. 200 damage is more than possible! I can kill nearly anyone if I can land a hit with it. Still, while using Ko, my body is in a state of Zetsu, which lowers my defenses. If the attack fails and I eat a counterattack, not only do I take increased damage, but my defense is lowered as well. I could die if I use this skill recklessly.

Ken lvl 3

Effect: This advanced form of Ten and Ren is a primarily defensive technique that boosts the user's defense up to 10 times the amount of Ten while losing any offensive benefits of Ren.

Effect: Decreases most types of damage by 10 +2 every level.

Effect: Increases defense against all types of attacks by 30% +3% per level (There is a diminishing return of 50%, 100%, and 200%, once a damage decrease of 70%, 80%, and 90% is reached).

Aura Cost: Ren Aura cost x 3

Note: Ken can save your life!

Ken is a defensive technique, letting me ignore quite a lot of damage even at this point. The only downside is that it's so hard to maintain. It's three times as Aura-intensive as Ren. I can only use this skill for a few minutes until I increase my Aura reserves and improve my Nen Prodigy lvl 3 to further reduce Ken's Aura cost.

Ryu lvl 3

Effect: This highly difficult and complicated technique is named after the use of Gyo in a state of Ken. This enables real-time offensive and defensive value adjustments.

Effect: This technique uses a certain percentage of Aura to perform Gyo and Ken at the same time.

Effect: Increase speed of shifting between Gyo and Ken by 25% + 5% per level.

Aura Cost: Gyo and Ken, depending on current use of those techniques.

Note: The Aura flow may give your intentions away if you are too slow!

Ryu combines Ken and Gyo by shifting between defense and offense while maintaining both techniques. I'll need a lot of training to use this technique in battle. The Aura drain is immense, but this is the strongest form of Nen combat in my opinion. I can keep up my defenses with Ken and then strike back with empowered Gyo strikes. The key is the quick shift between a strong defense and a nearly full-powered Gyo used for devastating attacks. For now, I should stick to basic Ren though. I need to train this until I can shift fast enough to make it viable in battle. It'll take a LOT of training, and my Aura is too low to use it for long.

Alex looks at his [Destiny Watch] and thinks, Hmm, that's all. I guess no surprises—these skills are exactly how they are in Hunter x Hunter. The system integrated and replicated them all faithfully. I'm already aware of how to use every single technique I just learned. Is there anything else that has changed, or should I finally leave my room? I'm worrying Menchi and Linne if I stay locked up like this.

Alex checks his abilities again and notices something that makes his mood drop slightly. Statistical OCD lvl Max now requires 5 free stat points to increase all stats by 1.

This makes sense, I guess. It would have been way too overpowered if it stayed at 4. Since I now have 10 stats, I need to spend half of that to increase every single stat by one. To be honest, Nen usually requires 2 full points to raise anyway. It's just insane that I can increase my stats like this, he admits, not overly concerned about the slight change.

Alex finally leaves his room with a bright smile. All the worries and frustrations he had displayed earlier are gone, replaced by confidence and joy. He knows he took a huge gamble by risking his innate skill to evolve it into an S+ and then into an SS+ skill, but it paid off.

Alex uses Ten as he steps out, clearly displaying a strong, smooth, and calm aura. Menchi and Linne immediately notice, and both smile.

"Incredible!" Menchi exclaims.

Linne can't help but add, "Menchi told me that your Nen somehow awakened, but these results are far beyond what I thought possible. Your Aura is more than ten times stronger than it was just a few days ago."

Alex responds, not holding anything back, "I think everything about my ability to use Nen has changed. I feel like I can do anything now. I've even been experimenting—I can use the Basic skills without any problem, and I've already made progress with the advanced techniques from your manual. How about this?"

Alex conjures Mustrano's Malice Mauler lvl 3 and then uses In, making the vicious claw disappear right in front of their eyes.

Menchi and Linne immediately react, activating Gyo in less than a second.

"There's a lot of room for improvement, but this should have taken you years to learn. Your speed is outright scary. I thought you only had average talent, looking at your first week of Nen training… but this is something else entirely," Menchi says, clearly confused by Alex's transformation.

"Heh, this is nothing yet! How about a spar?" Alex asks, clearly excited to test his new abilities.

"You are getting cocky… let me punch some sense into you rookie!" Menchi says with a scary smile on her face.

Alex looks a bit scared, thinking, shit, maybe this wasn't a good idea after all….
