In terms of sheer physical strength and attributes, there are very few that can impress him.
With his physical strength being low, he couldn't even use any fighting skills or martial arts that would interest him...
In this way, Long defeated all the enemies along the way and won many games in a row.
In order to attract traffic, the officials of the Sky Arena also made him into a "legendary" image, and spared no effort to promote him... As for the rules of the competition, they also gave him special treatment, allowing Long to challenge higher floors.
The promotion from level to level is neither exciting nor suspenseful for the audience.
For example, if one jumps from the 70th floor to the 100th floor, the fighter's level will undoubtedly be on a different level, and it is also a question whether Long can continue to maintain his winning streak.
Sky Arena accurately captures the psychological needs of the audience...
Within half a month, Long had achieved unprecedented success, rising to the 150th floor like a rocket.
The daily schedule is also full, and his games are basically packed with people.
The reputation of the suit thug was also completely known.
This solved a problem that worried Long... at least he is no longer called a working knight.
When he reached the 150th floor or above, the Sky Arena changed its plan to target him... The opponents assigned to him were all the strongest on the same floor, and there was a lot of hype beforehand. Not only did the ticket prices increase several times, but the matches were also scheduled for prime time, with only one match a day, and no more.
The next day, in the luxurious suite where Long lived alone.
The staff of the arena brought the information of his next opponent.
Long is now a big celebrity in the Sky Arena...even the posters displayed in the hall and the TV screens are centered around him.
"Thank you."
Long took the file.
The staff nodded and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Long threw the document casually on the table, showing no interest.
You know, in the original work, Killua and Gon used hand knives and pushing palms respectively to solve the opponents below the 180th floor...the sensation caused was no less than what you are doing now.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the fighters in the Sky Arena are weak, but the strength of the two protagonists at that time was already quite strong.
What’s even more terrifying... is the talent and aura of the two little guys.
Long stretched lazily, prepared to pick up his clothes and go out for a walk... During this period, in addition to the competition, he was also inquiring about some famous local casinos and information about his own bet.
Because of his winning streak, his odds were frighteningly low, and there was almost no profit to be made.
Oboro doesn't plan to start acting as a dealer now.
"Ok?"
After thinking about it, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a data sheet on the table that had fallen to the ground.
There was a photo and a name on the white paper.
Yun Gu!
Long's expression changed slightly. He picked up the paper and looked at it carefully.
The young man in the photo is wearing glasses, a loose shirt, and has a warm smile.
The information says that this person fought his way up level by level, and it took him more than three months. Before the 100th floor, the game was over very quickly, but it seemed a bit difficult to get above the 100th floor, and he was defeated at the 149th floor. After reaching the 150th floor, he stopped... and faced the challenger as a champion.
Obviously, he is also a dark horse, but he is not as violent as Long, who always kills his opponents in seconds... There is no gimmick, so... he was not made famous by the Sky Arena.
There are countless fighters pouring into the Sky Arena every day... and there are also many who maintain winning streaks. Unless you can be like Long, who crushes every game... otherwise, it is too difficult to stand out.
In addition, although Long is famous now, the Sky Arena is the cradle of fighters, and the ones who really attract attention are the top fighters...that is, masters above the two hundredth level, they are the "stars".
Long can only be regarded as a phenomenal newcomer.
"It sure is him!"
After a moment, Long put down the paper, his eyes lit up, and threw away the clothes in his hands.
Not planning on going out.
Yun Gu...Biscuit's apprentice, the guy who taught Gon and Killua how to read.
He is also a disciple of the mind force school and the heart source stream.
"After reaching the 100th floor, the pace of the competition slowed down significantly... He just wanted to avoid being eliminated and participate in the official competition within the specified time limit. No wonder no one has heard of him... This is no different from the entertainment industry. The new generation will replace the old generation. If he doesn't show up for a few days, he will be easily forgotten... Not to mention someone like him..."
Long murmured.
Then he walked to the side, turned on the landline, and dialed a number, "Hello, I need Yun Gu's past game videos."
After a while, someone knocked on the door and brought what Long needed.
Very efficient.
Long began to play reels of videotapes and observe.
By the evening, he had finished reading them all.
"Yun Gu... His style belongs to the traditional martial arts school. He is very rigid, his moves are a little unfamiliar, and the timing of his attacks is not very mature... It is obvious that he has been tempered before coming to the Sky Arena... But... it is far from enough."
"After the 100th floor... it can be seen that he is also learning the strengths of various martial arts schools and absorbing experience... The schedule slowed down afterwards, and he reappeared every once in a while, and his growth was obvious... The reason why he slowed down was that he was integrating... enriching himself. He must have been doing some kind of training in the limited intervals..."
"So...Biscuit must be here!"
"He must be a Nen user, he doesn't use Nen... He probably has the same idea as me, relying solely on his physical body and martial arts to fight. I guess that's what Biscuit asked of him!"
"You just learned to read... but you don't have any combat experience?"
Long turned off the TV, held the remote control in his hand, and squinted his eyes.
What a coincidence!
"Hehe... I hope you can bring me some fun."
Long flexed his fingers. Now that he had encountered it, it would be unreasonable not to have some fun with it.
The corner of his mouth curled up.
Chapter 17: Like acting?
At the same time, in another room.
Two people also watched all of Long's game videos.
A blonde girl in a puffy skirt sat at the head of the bed, swinging her feet...she looked as if she was still a little unsatisfied.
Biscuit held her cheeks with both hands, and said like a little girl immersed in love, "Great! I didn't expect that such an excellent seedling would appear in the Sky Arena... If the valuable rough stone can be carved well, it may become an extremely gorgeous and dazzling gem."
After she finished her sigh, she looked at her disciple Yun Gu standing beside her and asked with a smile, "What did you see?"
Yun Gu pushed his glasses with his fingers and shook his head, "He ended the game too quickly, and he defeated his opponent after the referee blew his whistle... That kind of explosive speed and strength... was simply terrifying. The rest ..."
"Well... you're right. His game is purely about using his powerful physical strength to attack... There's no technique at all." Biscuit nodded, used the remote control to reverse the TV screen, and pressed the pause button. "Look here, his attack uses the explosive power of his lower limbs to speed up, so that he can get close to his opponent in an instant... Look here again, pay attention to his hands... Do you see any problems?"
"It seems that... the skin on the palm is a little rougher? A little bigger?" Yun Gu observed for a moment and said tentatively.
"To put it simply, this man's body is not on the same level as other fighters. They are two different creatures... Moreover, he must have practiced some kind of martial arts that uses the palms. Although he is wearing clothes, judging from his swaying body, his flesh and blood are more solid and stronger... He should also have mastered defensive martial arts similar to the body tempering lineage. It's a pity that from the time he appeared until now, no one has been able to force him to use real means." When it comes to the physical body, Biscuit is an expert.
You can see the problem at a glance.
"Also... he has fought so many matches, and the way and means of ending the match are the same... It's okay if it happens once or twice, but it still works after using it so many times... Are other fighters not on guard against him? No... No one wants to lose, and no one is stupid. In the few matches after the 100th floor, it can be seen that his opponents have been on guard... But they still fell for it. Why?"
Bisiji looked at his apprentice.
"The physical difference is just like an ordinary person facing a bullet. Even if they see it, they can't avoid it due to their physical condition."
Yun Gu thought about it and gave an answer.
But Biscuit shook his finger and said, "This is just one of the reasons... You didn't realize the key to the problem."
"The essential?"
Yun Gu was stunned.
Biscuit adjusted the playback screen again.
On TV, Long's figure formed an afterimage, leaving a trail.
Biscuit walked forward, pointed at the blurry shadow, and asked, "Tell me... where is he at this moment within this few centimeters long afterimage?"
"According to normal logic, it must be at the front..."
Yun Gu muttered.
"Take a closer look."
Biscuit had no intention of explaining.
After a while, cold sweat broke out on Yun Gu's forehead and his eyes narrowed.
He couldn't tell...
When the master used his fingers to block Long's shadow intentionally or unintentionally... he even felt that there was only one person on the ring.
Obscurity does not exist.
His sensory signals...no feedback.
"You realize it now... This Long is a master at hiding and changing his aura. His body is a deadly bullet. What's more deadly is that you can't see this bullet yet..." Biscuit's jewel-colored eyes looked at Long in the image with a little confusion, "He reminds me of someone, very familiar..."
"Who?"
Yun Gu asked.
"President Netero."
"He not only hides his aura, but the amazing thing is the change of his aura... You know, a person's aura is related to their physique, spirit, life, etc. Hiding their aura is a way to achieve it through training, but... the change is all-round. It is not just about practice, but also about exploring, observing, understanding and feeling... to experience the energy of all living things and understand the essence of life."
"Even Master, you can't do this?"
Yun Gu was very surprised.
Biscuit shook his head: "I should be able to do it, but it will take a very long and boring time... To reach this level, one's mind must be very pure and pursue perfection! Of course, this level of Oboro is far behind President Netero, but at his age, being able to get a glimpse of the door is already an incredible thing!"
Yun Gu swallowed his saliva, his heart was shocked.
As the inheritor of the Xinyuan Stream, he knew clearly what his master's words meant.
