_______________________________________Chapter 43: Astounding Progress x System Changes x Delight
Evening.
The sun had already set, and the sky was gradually darkening.
At this time, in the nameless forest, Luo Lin and Biscuit's training battle had lasted the entire afternoon.
From being knocked down with every charge at the start, Luo Lin had progressed to exchanging several moves with Biscuit.
In fact, his best attempt had lasted over a dozen moves before being sent flying by Biscuit.
"Alright, let's stop for now!" Biscuit said after knocking Luo Lin down once again.
Luo Lin, who was just about to charge at Biscuit again, stopped in his tracks.
"No more fighting?"
"Fight? Look at the time! It's time to eat!" Biscuit said, annoyed.
"Besides, it's still too early for you to be fighting at night. Haven't you noticed that the time you can hold out against me is getting shorter?"
"This…"
Luo Lin hadn't noticed at all. After all, his full attention had been focused on trying to hold out against Biscuit, so he hadn't had the time to count how many moves he managed.
However…
Luo Lin glanced at the darkening sky.
Indeed, the twilight at this time affected his vision more than actual nightfall.
Even though his senses and body were at an impressive level, without deliberate training, he was still significantly affected.
"Hiss—" Luo Lin winced as he relaxed, suddenly feeling the pain all over his body.
Although Biscuit hadn't gone all out against him, being thrown around for an entire afternoon had definitely left his body bruised all over.
"You call yourself a man? And you're whining about such small injuries?"
Biscuit stood beside him, hands on her hips, looking at him in disdain.
"Hurry up and go hunt in the forest. I'll prepare dinner tonight."
Luo Lin, of course, obeyed Biscuit's request without complaint.
Even though he called her "Biscuit" casually, in reality, Biscuit was his teacher.
His progress today wasn't just something Biscuit had noticed—he had felt it himself more than anyone.
In this situation, how could Luo Lin refuse such a small task?
…
"What kind of little monster is he, really?"
Watching Luo Lin's departing figure, Biscuit couldn't help but mutter to herself.
If Luo Lin's perfect and powerful physical abilities could be attributed to some kind of fortuitous encounter or treasure, then his learning speed was undeniably monstrous.
"At this rate, in less than a week, he'll have almost fully made up for his foundational gaps. By then, I'll need to incorporate Nen applications into his combat training."
"It seems I need to push him to strengthen his Nen as soon as possible." Biscuit quietly contemplated Luo Lin's next steps in his learning plan.
…
On the other side, having entered the forest, Luo Lin didn't rush to hunt for prey. Instead, he silently summoned his system.
After an entire afternoon, he had long been eager to see if there were any changes in his system interface after unlocking his Nen ability.
[Level 100 God System].
[Name: Luo Lin].
[Level: 1 (486/1000)].
[Vitality: 1].
[Mental Power: 1].
[Nen Ability: 10/100].
[World: Hunter x Hunter].
The first thing Luo Lin noticed was the new Nen Ability section.
"10 out of 100…"
Seeing these numbers, the first concepts that came to Luo Lin's mind were visible aura and latent aura.
In Hunter x Hunter, these terms were introduced during the Chimera Ant arc.
They referred to the quantified form of Nen, needed for Knuckle's ability.
Visible aura is the amount of Nen a user can actively utilize without employing any techniques, while latent aura is the total amount of Nen available in the user's body.
The standard measurement for Nen is how much is consumed per second when the user is in Ten or Ren.
It wasn't clear if the system's displayed standard followed the same measurement.
"One hundred units of aura… So I can't even maintain Ren for two minutes?" Luo Lin thought to himself, scratching his chin.
But he didn't feel it was too little.
It's important to note that during the Greed Island arc, when Biscuit was training Gon and Killua, neither of them could maintain Ken for more than two minutes.
Of course, this didn't mean that after nearly six months of training, their latent aura was less than 120 units. It was just that, being new to Ren and Ken, they wasted a lot of Nen unnecessarily.
Luo Lin was in a similar situation now. Theoretically, 100 units of latent aura should be enough to maintain Ren for 100 seconds.
However, based on how he felt earlier while using Ren, he doubted he could even last ten seconds.
Still, Luo Lin was already thrilled.
He hadn't had high expectations for the system to display Nen ability at all.
After all, with how unreliable his system could be, this was entirely within the realm of possibility.
"I wonder if leveling up will affect my Nen abilities." Luo Lin thought happily, about to close the system interface and start hunting for dinner.
But then, Luo Lin noticed his experience points.
"486?"
Luo Lin froze for a moment.
He remembered that before going to bed last night, his experience points had been at 453.
From the end of the Hunter exam until now, he had gained about 100 experience points in four days.
But now…
With 486 points, that meant he had gained 33 experience points today alone.
He had trained normally in the morning, which would have earned him about ten experience points. That meant his afternoon training with Biscuit had earned him over twenty experience points!
Luo Lin was instantly overjoyed.
He had sought out Biscuit for guidance with the mindset that his experience gain efficiency would decrease and his leveling would slow down.
Yet…
His experience gain rate had actually increased!
How could he not be thrilled?
Luo Lin was now filled with motivation, eager to return and challenge his teacher to another 300 rounds.
"Haha, time to hunt! I must catch something delicious for Teacher Biscuit to replenish her strength."
