The move called Ripple that Moses casually displayed left Neil utterly speechless.
Ripple was a technique he had developed over a long period of trial and error. Yet today, after just a few uses against Moses on the match, it was learned just like that?
But what baffled Neil even more was how can Moses's Ripple be more powerful?!
The shock in Neil's heart was evident, and Menchi, who had only observed the entire match today, also wore a surprised expression.
'How did he do that…?'
Both of them stared at Moses intently, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.
After Moses retracted the whip, he noticed Neil and Menchi's reactions. He then said lightly: " It's just a basic technique, there's no need to be so surprised."
The Ripple move just now was nothing more than the most common 'Nen bullet attack' used by Emitters.
It's just that when Moses released the Nen bullet, he used the form of a whip to slightly lengthen the 'Nen bullet' that left his body at that moment, resulting in the slash mark on the ring.
Putting aside the power, it was akin to using Ko in advanced Nen application technique to replicate Uvogin's Big Bang Impact.
The principle was there, but Neil and Menchi didn't understand as much as Moses did, nor did they know the techniques required to achieve it.
From their point of view, Moses was able to reproduce the Ripple move so easily, and also enhanced its power based on it. It was simply not something that could be explained as 'ordinary'.
"Could you explain it more specifically..."
Neil couldn't suppress his doubts and asked.
If he could understand the principle, perhaps he could significantly enhance the power of Ripple. This is very important to him.
Moses glanced at Neil.
He hadn't intended to explain initially, as the subsequent practical exercises would make things clearer.
But since Neil asked, he didn't mind elaborating a bit more.
The aim was to make Neil willingly become his sparring partner.
"Simply put, it's about releasing Aura."
Moses tossed the whip to Neil and said: "But you're used to wrapping detached Aura around the whip. So now, if you want to change this habit, to be honest, it will take some time and effort."
"Release Aura…?"
Neil caught the whip and said with confusion, " But won't that weaken the Aura's power?"
After learning Nen, he had also tried to shoot out his Nen before, but its power and speed were too slow, inferior to even a handgun.
And before that, he had already tried attaching his Nen to the whip, and the result was that the power of the whip was greatly increased.
Since then, he had never thought of 'shooting' out his Nen anymore, but had been specifically training the technique of attaching detached Nen to the whip.
Neil, who knew little about Nen, didn't know that this technique of wrapping Nen around a weapon was called Shu.
Furthermore, he didn't know that when using Shu on a weapon, there is no need to cut off the connection between the body and the Nen, as doing so was no different from tying one's hands.
If it weren't for the fact that his Nen Attribute is Emmision-Type, Neil probably wouldn't have been able to stably wrap detached Nen around the whip.
In general, an Emitter has turned his natural advantages into half-hearted Shu...
This phenomenon seemed exaggerated and absurd to Moses, but it actually wasn't uncommon among self-taught Nen Users.
The importance of systematic Nen knowledge could be seen from this.
"Let's test your Nen Attribute first."
Instead of explaining directly, Moses decided to let Neil test his Nen Attribute.
He only speculated that Neil's Nen Attribute was Emission, and the final result still had to be confirmed through Water Divination.
A few minutes later…
The test results came out, confirming that Neil was indeed an Emitter.
Having learned from Moses the knowledge related to Emission, Neil suddenly looked at a loss.
"I am an Emitter... But, I've tried to shoot out my Aura before, and its power was very weak, and the accuracy was just passable."
"How can anything be improved overnight? It's because you gave up too quickly."
Moses said calmly: " But it's not your fault. I think at that time, you probably had thoughts like 'hard work training but still not as good as a handgun', right?"
"…"
Neil opened his mouth in astonishment, unable to hide his surprise as he looked at Moses.
Moses indeed hit the mark...
Initially, he did have such thoughts, which is why he gave up on shooting out his Nen so readily.
"If you don't even believe in your own 'Thought', how can you expect 'Nen' to reward you?" (T/N: Nen can also mean Thought.)
Moses shook his head slightly, then raised two fingers, and said calmly:
"Right now, you have two choices: Abandon the whip and train in techniques that suit your Nen Attribute, or continue using the whip but correct your mindset and habits."
"…"
Hearing this, Neil slowly opened his eyes and then fell into deep thought.
Received so much information at once that he didn't know Receiving so much information all at once left him unsure of how to proceed.
"No need to rush into a decision, you have one night to consider."
Looking at Neil's furrowed brow, Moses gently reminded him.
Neil looked at Moses and nodded silently.
He felt that agreeing to meet Moses today was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
'This person... can really make me stronger in a short period of time!'
Neal's heart was beating in excitement, and at the same time, he felt a little incredulous.
'A teenager who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old actually possessed such profound insight and strength.'
'Who exactly is he?'
Suddenly, Neil became curious about Moses's identity.
But the next second, he dismissed the thought, fearing that he might inadvertently provoke Moses in the future.
"You can go back now. I'll contact you tomorrow."
Moses felt it was necessary to give Neil a night to process the information he had just received, so he abandoned the idea of sparring with him immediately.
"Okay."
Neil agreed.
He was completely impressed by Moses, so he now held a very simple belief: whatever Moses said, he would do.
As Neil left the venue, only Moses and Menchi remained on the ring.
"Master."
Menchi glanced at the cup not far away.
It was the cup Neil had used to test his Nen Attribute just now.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Moses looked at Menchi, then he noticed her gaze on the cup, and he immediately understands.
Menchi asked hesitantly: "When can I test my Nen Attribute?"
"You can do it now."
Moyu said with a smile.
Menchi's previous behavior of restraining herself when she went berserk in the audience stands was the fundamental reason why Moses agreed to let Menchi test her Nen Attribute.
"Really?!"
Menchi's eyes lit up, feeling pleasantly surprised.
Moses nodded with a smile.
Moments later, Menchi began the test, her hands encircling the cup.
As a faint glow emanated from her palms, the liquid in the cup instantly changed color, from transparent to a rainbow of hues, as if various pigments were dispersing in water.
"The color of the water changed. Like Neil, you're also an Emitter, but this color... it's beautiful and unique."
Moyu looked at the rainbow colors in the cup with slight surprise.
Upon hearing Moses's words, Menchi's face flushed slightly.
It is unknown if it's because of excitement or some other reason.
