The strongest magician who started as a hunter

Chapter 5 Tangled × Tips

"This uncle is quite humane..."

You watched the old captain enter the cabin with a smile on his lips.

He knew that Hisoka was going to be reviewed next, and since it was none of his business, he didn't plan to stay long.

You turned around, left the cabin along the corridor, and came to the deck that was already soaked by sea water.

At this moment, the sky is getting brighter.

Feeling the cool sea breeze coming towards him, You noticed that a black island could be seen not far ahead, gradually approaching.

Come to think of it, that is the destination of this trip - Dolly Island.

You lied on the railing of the bow, feeling that the "thoughts" around him were much fuller than before, and he also had some guesses in his mind...

Probably, it was because he had taken a nap earlier and his body had received sufficient rest, so the "thoughts" in his body had also recovered.

After all, "mindfulness" is closely related to both physical and mental health.

However, compared to this...

Something the captain mentioned before made you even more concerned.

"The Kuluta tribe was annihilated..."

As you murmured to yourself, you thought: "If I remember correctly, this matter... was most likely done by the Phantom Troupe.

In the original work, a lot of evidence points to those guys...

Although it is not known what their purpose was, judging from the results, the process was undoubtedly a brutal one-sided massacre. "

Thinking of this, You remained silent for a while before uttering:

"A bunch of heartless guys..."

A rare feeling of disgust and disgust arose in Xian's heart.

But not quite angry.

Without personal experience, it is naturally impossible for Yu to empathize with Kurapika, a "survivor of the Kuluta Tribe".

But out of respect for life, he still closed his eyes and observed a few seconds of silence for the dead souls.

You consider yourself a gentle person.

He was willing to remain humble and respectful to a kind-hearted person like the old captain.

But if he encounters people who despise and trample life like the Phantom Troupe, such as the various murderers and death row criminals running around in the Hunter World, he will definitely not be merciful.

Because letting such a guy go will mean that more lives will be tortured.

Why not do what you can to accumulate merit for yourself.

certainly……

The premise and focus are both "within one's ability".

If you encounter those troublesome or even dangerous guys, you will naturally not choose to fight them to the death.

"Having said it all, it made me figure out one thing..."

"Big fists are the last word!"

"Instead of thinking about these useless things, it's better to seize the time and spend it on cultivation."

After thinking about this, You also put away his thoughts.

Immediately he closed his eyes and carefully felt the Qi flowing throughout his body, intending to take advantage of the last few dozen minutes before arriving at his destination to try to practice one of the four basics of "mindfulness".

"Tangled".

——This is a technique that can wrap one's own energy throughout the body so that it does not escape outside the body.

Practicing "Tang" can make the body stronger, stay youthful forever, make the mind more focused, emotionally stable, and less susceptible to external interference.

This is the basis for becoming a person with mind abilities and the most critical first step.

Therefore, whether "thoughts" will collect on the top of the head and flow out of the body is also an effective way to judge "those with the ability to read thoughts" and "those without the ability to read thoughts".

It's just so easy to make mistakes.

At this moment, You focused his energy on the "thoughts" all over his body, trying to replicate the magician's technique of manipulating the "curse power" in the process of practicing "winding".

Sure enough, he found the trick easily and gradually enveloped the smoke above his head all over his body.

"As I expected, the techniques of 'entangling' and 'wrapping the whole body with spell power' are essentially the same.

Both of them test the concentration of the mind, the sensitivity to the breath in the body, and the smoothness of mobilization...

It's just that in comparison, with six eyes, I have a unique advantage in controlling the "curse power", but I am not so good at controlling "thoughts", and I have to slowly improve with practice. "

You tried to prolong the "tangling" time as much as possible, but at best, it only lasted a few minutes.

If you relax even a little bit, you will let out a few strands of air, leading to the collapse of "Tang".

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

You's perception of the energy around him has improved slightly, and at this time, a man with a strange temperament and a tall figure walked out of the cabin.

"Oh~"

Hisoka walked out of the cabin, leaned against the wooden wall beside him, put his hand on his chin with interest, looked at You not far away, and murmured to himself:

"It's growing really fast..."

"This young man obviously didn't have any 'thoughts' in his body yesterday. In just one night, the total amount of 'thoughts' has really increased a lot..."

"And, it seems...he is practicing 'Tang' now."

Hisoka rarely observed carefully.

Although I don't know what the other party went through during this period, it is obvious that the process of the other party using "Tangle" is like a complete beginner of "Nian".

Both his perception and control of Qi are unsatisfactory.

It was somewhat inconsistent with his previous guesses, so he was inevitably a little disappointed.

However, after watching it for a few minutes.

Hisoka could clearly see the boy's progress.

At least every time, the duration of the opponent's "entanglement" will increase by tens of seconds or even longer.

If the other party is really a beginner.

So this kind of speed of progress, even in the eyes of Hisoka, who has read countless people, is considered to be an excellent qualification.

"You're lucky...it's a 'fruit' worth cultivating~"

Hisoka pursed his lips, showing a smile that was gradually losing his composure, and his body began to exude a vague and terrifying aura.

"!!!"

You suddenly felt a chill on your back, and you quickly woke up from the state where your mind was empty.

After finally condensing it together for more than ten minutes without any stray "entangling", I suddenly became discouraged.

But when You suddenly turned around and looked behind you...

Only to find that there was no one behind.

"Gone...?"

You looked confused, and you could vaguely catch a certain residual aura in your sight.

He then guessed that the opponent should be an agile master who was good at using "Jue" to seal his aura.

Moreover, he can also control his killing intent freely.

He's a very dangerous guy.

"Hisoka..."

A look of helplessness appeared on You's face, convinced that this was the answer.

Because on this entire ship, except for that guy Hisoka, there is no other option.

…

Worry re-adjusts the flow of Qi.

Because I don’t know if it’s an illusion, I feel like I’m getting “tangled up” with my practice, and my mind and energy are slowly improving at the same time...

The usage time of the "spell" seems to have been extended as well.

"A pleasant surprise."

…

Half an hour later,

The ship docked at the port of Dolly Island.

The captain saw Gojoyou lying motionless on the railing at a glance on the deck.

He walked forward, patted the young man on the shoulder, and greeted:

"Hey! We've arrived at the station, worry!"

Hearing this, You quickly woke up, turned around, and responded casually:

"Um!"

"Come with me to get off the boat, later..." The captain didn't finish his words, and was just about to lead the other party down the ladder lowered from the wooden boat.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw the young man climbing over the railing, leaping down and jumping down.

Seeing this, the captain rushed to the fence.

Looking down, he saw that You had already stood firmly on the ground, waving to him with a faint smile.

"The skills are really good...

It seems that this kid, who said he will become a hunter this year, is not just talking about it. "

After a while, the captain stepped off the ship.

But when he looked at the calm face in front of him again, he no longer had any contempt for him in his heart.

"Aren't you surprised? There are so many people here, and they are all candidates who came from all over the world to take the hunter exam."

The captain glanced at the dense crowd gathered at the dock and asked You.

"But most of them have been eliminated on the ship." You looked at the captain and said lightly.

Hearing this, the captain smiled: "Heh, you have a good head, kid."

"So... is my performance up to standard?" You looked at the captain, expecting the other party's response.

"It's just like what you said..." the captain said calmly.

"Except for you and that guy named Hisoka, everyone else on my ship has been completely wiped out.

Even if they later found a location for the hunter exam, they would not be able to take the exam. "

At the end of his words, the captain shifted his gaze from the candidates in front of him to You next to him:

"Speaking of which, after I carefully checked the information file about you, it was indeed registered in the batch of candidates I was responsible for.

I had no impression of you at all before, which was a remission of my duty. "

"As compensation, I will make an exception and tell you something."

The captain raised his head, pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance, and asked:

"See that cedar tree over there?"

You looked in the direction of his finger and nodded:

"I see it."

The captain said: "Going in that direction is the shortcut to the hunter examination site."

"If you understand, let's go quickly!"

"The assessment has begun."

After saying that, he turned and left.

You glanced at the cedar trees in the distance, then looked back at the captain who was almost walking away, waved back and forth to him, and thanked him loudly:

"Thank you, Captain! Please take care of yourself!"

"Well, take care of yourself too."

The captain's tone was calm and he did not look back, but simply waved his hand.

After a few steps, the captain returned to the ship.

Taking advantage of the repair time, he stood on the deck and looked down at the lively crowd below. From a long distance away, he saw You walking through the sea of ​​people.

After all, that boy's white hair is really conspicuous.

However, as the captain watched... he felt something was wrong.

"Is this guy's running speed... a little too fast?"

…
