Long gestured with a smile.
He didn't look as nervous as Yun Gu.
boom!
The mud under his feet splashed, and the high-frequency movement speed caused Yun Gu's shirt to be severely deformed.
The two had already agreed beforehand that this competition would simply be a fight based on mind techniques... no abilities would be needed.
Because in terms of pure skills, it is difficult for Yun Gu to defeat Long, let alone the ability of Nen.
clap clap clap...
Yun Gu came with great momentum, his fist shadows shaking...hitting at various parts of Long, trying to use his own moves and attack routes to force Long to defend...reveal flaws and look for opportunities.
But...Long just stood there, with one hand in his pocket and using the other hand to block back and forth. After a fierce fight and a lot of noise, Yun Gu jumped away with a serious look in his eyes.
Long blocked his first wave of attacks with just one hand.
He had thought about the gap between himself and Long in advance...but the reality was even more cruel than he thought.
"why?"
Yun Gu’s eyelids twitched.
His magnanimity, use of telekinesis...he is flawless.
I don't see anything 'outstanding' about him, why is he so relaxed?
Before, Yun Gu had only watched others fight with Long in the ring, and he never thought that actually facing this man... would be so stressful.
Swish!
In the first wave of attack, Long was just passively defending.
When Yun Gu pounced on him again, his arms could not only block, but also counterattack in a very small time difference... and every time he attacked, he seized the moment when Yun Gu's body was stiff or wanted to "change".
Makes him feel very uncomfortable.
It was only a few minutes, but Yun Gu found that his mental energy consumption was several times that of when he was on the 200th floor and fighting against other Nen users.
His breathing began to become heavy.
"I've been seen through. He has too much combat experience... at least more than me..."
A thought flashed through Yun Gu’s mind.
and did not give up.
He slowed down his pace and activated the "Absolute", hiding his aura to the extreme while constantly changing his position.
"In the state of absolute, your defense against mind attacks is almost zero... If I were your enemy, I wouldn't mind you doing this. Besides, you should know that my perception of 'aura' is very strong... Unless you can practice 'absolute' to the point of being as dead as a dead tree, otherwise you are using your own weaknesses to challenge my strengths."
Hazy spoke.
Yun Gu did not respond...
He had disappeared from the blurry view.
"Use the blind corner..." Long muttered, clenched his palm into a fist, and immediately hit the afterimage coming from behind.
However, the punch hit the air.
"So that's it!"
Long suddenly realized and had to admire Yun Gu's brilliant ideas and strategies to resolve his perception.
The more Yun Gu restrains his breath, the greater the power of the "signal" received by Long's five senses. Yun Gu first reduces his breath to a certain level, making Long think that this is the limit of what he can do. Then, when he gets close to Long, he reduces his breath again and releases some "qi" to disrupt Long's judgment... In this way, he conceals his main attack and creates a difference in position.
“Is this your true level?”
"It seems like you were hiding something during the competition... just for today? Deliberately misleading me about your strength?"
Long took out his other hand from his pocket, caught Yun Gu's fist accurately, and smiled slightly.
"Two hands..."
Yun Gu seemed very excited, "Next, I will force you to move!"
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Long nodded, "But, you can only use this method once, it won't work the next time..."
As he spoke, the lenses of Yun Gu's eyes trembled, and a knife cut his cheek, leaving a bloody wound.
“The reaction was slow.”
Hazy reminded.
Yun Gu blocked the grabbed fist and instantly distanced himself.
Ten meters away, Biscuit stood under a tree, watching quietly.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose and the temperature became higher and higher...
Yun Gu's condition gradually reached a fever pitch... Yes, he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
It’s okay.
After all...it's just a competition.
An hour later, the noise on the grass finally calmed down.
Yun Gu fell to his knees on the ground, breathing heavily, and his whole body was wet, as if he had been fished out of a pond.
"Congratulations, you succeeded..."
Long on the side clapped his hands and gave applause to Yun Gu.
Not only did he use his hands, he also moved... Although the range was not large and his straight suit did not leave any creases, he really couldn't maintain the initial ease.
In the second half of the fight, Long found that Yun Gu had obviously grown. His ability to read battles and analyze opponents was also excellent. With time, as his experience increased, his ability would improve significantly.
This potential was naturally cultivated by Bisiji.
“Huff, huff, huff… It still doesn’t work… I… wanted to see… to see you showing an anxious or embarrassed expression… That would mean that I threatened you…” Yun Gu was exhausted and lay on the ground with his limbs spread out, stammering.
Judging from the smiling expression on his face, he was not frustrated at all, but rather seemed motivated.
It is a positive spiritual feedback.
"His Nen skills are responding to the changes in your skills. To put it bluntly, he is intentionally keeping his Nen level at the same level as yours... He is not taking advantage of you, but why are you still struggling?"
Biscuit came over.
Yun Gu and Long looked at her at the same time.
"Because after you attacked, he had already figured out your physical strength... Combining your thoughts, he knew what kind of moves you could perform and how fast you could perform. He had a digital representation of your body in his brain." Biscuit looked at his embarrassed disciple and raised another finger: "Also, when he took off your glasses, your body subconsciously stiffened for a second, causing your originally sharp fist to lose power... This is a physiological reaction."
"In other words, your body or brain is not yet able to control physiological reactions."
"Battle thinking must absolutely obey the 'plan' given by the brain, and cannot be handed over to the body... You must understand that some physiological reactions are harmful instincts in battle. You need to overcome them! Although it seems that you are constantly attacking and looking for opportunities... In fact, all your attacks are based on defense, and you are afraid of being hit by him, so... it's just what you think of as 'going all out'..."
"Having your glasses taken off was just one time. You had your glasses taken off 26 times in total. Your weakness of 'physiological reaction' was exploited."
"Yes, that's it!"
Long gave Hishiki a thumbs up and said, "In short, your attainments in Nen are fine, and your physical fitness is also OK... But don't take Nen too absolutely and ignore the essential connection between the spirit and the body."
"learned."
Yun Gu supported himself with one arm.
Long reached out and pulled him up from the ground.
"Then... please welcome the next person."
Then, Long suddenly spoke.
He stared at Biscuit with burning eyes.
What do you mean?
Biscuit was startled.
"It's not easy to find a sparring partner like me... In the spirit of fair exchange, shouldn't you also give something?" Long narrowed his eyes.
"You want to fight me?"
Biscuit reacted.
"Ever since you left my room last time, I've been wondering when I can have a real fight with you." Long said calmly, "I didn't intend to look for you before I left, but taking this opportunity, I think it's better to fulfill my wish."
"Hehehehe..."
A bright smile suddenly appeared on the face of the cute Biscuit girl.
I agreed readily without any hesitation.
Even his eyes lit up.
"Actually... I've been wanting to teach you a lesson for a long time. Since you've come to me, I won't be polite!"
"……"hazy.
Completely different from when he faced Yun Gu, Long seemed to be full of fighting spirit.
He knew how powerful Biscuit was... He was the strongest person he had ever met since he came to the Hunter World!
"Do you want to use your abilities?"
Hazy asked.
"Huh? You don't think I'm going to fight with you for a long time, do you?" Biscuit was doing the same exercises as during class breaks.
She said this as if she looked down on Long.
"I admit that it's amazing to have such strength at your age. Even when I was young, I was nowhere near as good as you... But compared to me now, you're still not good enough." Biscuit spoke very bluntly, not caring at all whether Long could accept it or not.
"Oh?"
I was a little bit unconvinced.
"Don't think that you are great just because you beat some mediocre guys..."
After Biscuit finished warming up, he looked at Long and said, "Stand still. If you can catch my punch, you'll pass!"
"???"
