"Damn!!"
With great shock and anger in his heart, Robert was about to fly out of the ring. He endured the pain in his lower back and spun suddenly to absorb the impact on his body and crashed onto the ring.
Boom!
His feet, entwined with aura, smashed into the solid arena, creating two deep footprint-like depressions as gravel scattered.
"Die to me!!!"
With a roar, Robert turned around and charged towards Ethan. Tumors bulged out on his broad back, and three additional arms sprouted from each side.
With his original arms included, Robert suddenly transformed into an eight-armed figure, like a mad beast. When he got close to Ethan, he unleashed a barrage of punches with explosive force.
The air was stirred by the powerful force, and the storm of eight fists created a blinding flurry of strikes.
In contrast, Ethan calmly kept his arms folded across his chest, even as Robert unleashed his attack.
Swish, swish, swish! ! !
Ethan's tall and strong body moved like a phantom, weaving left and right, and stepping back and forth in small steps. He effortlessly dodged the punches coming one after another.
After firing nearly a hundred punches in a row, Robert's explosive power clearly reached its limit, and his punch speed and strength dropped significantly.
Yet, he didn't even graze the edge of Ethan's clothes.
The [Light Spirit Fruit] not only enhanced Ethan's speed but also his flexibility.
Combined with Ethan's extraordinary insight, Robert's seemingly fierce and explosive punches posed no danger in his eyes.
Crossing his arms wasn't arrogance—Robert simply hadn't reached the level that required Ethan to use his hands.
"Gun Fist: Assassination!"
Although the Gun Fist style is named after fists, it doesn't mean it can only be performed using fists.
When martial arts reach their peak, any part of the body can produce similar effects.
Ethan exemplified this now. After Robert's onslaught, he quickly dodged and launched a counterattack. His right foot turned into an afterimage and kicked out, his toe piercing the opponent's heart like a spearhead.
Puff! ! !
Robert's body shook violently, a pained expression crossing his face as he sprayed blood from his mouth. Simultaneously, his entire body was kicked into the air by Ethan, flying out like a cannonball.
This time Robert didn't save himself; he flew out of the ring and crashed into the wall not far from Lisa.
Boom! ! !
The wall shook with a bang, and rubble exploded. Robert's entire body was embedded in the wall, with a deep pit near his heart.
As he was embedded into the wall, Robert spewed blood again, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, becoming lifeless.
Ethan's 'assassination' kick had shattered Robert's heart, killing him instantly.
"Ethan, your speed and flexibility have improved a lot!"
After glancing at the lifeless body, Lisa jumped onto the ring and approached Ethan with an expression of admiration.
"It's okay. Mostly because the opponent was average. If it were Hisoka, it wouldn't be so easy," Ethan replied with a slight smile, lowering his arms.
While talking, the two crossed the ring and moved to the other side. Simultaneously, a portal opened on the wall for them to continue forward.
"Both of them won easily. It seems I underestimated their strength. In other words, the quality of this year's Hunter exam is very high!"
In the monitoring room, watching Ethan and Lisa enter the passage on the other side, Liber leaned back in his chair, murmuring with a sense of unfulfilled excitement.
.....
Surrounded by spiral staircases, candles lit the steps, casting light in the dark space.
Footsteps echoed as a figure emerged from the passage, eyes immediately landing on the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground opposite.
"It's finally here, Hisoka, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The figure sitting on the ground cracked a ferocious smile, the scars on his face adding to his fierceness.
"Isn't this my last examiner? What's going on with you here?" Hisoka stared briefly, then smiled.
"Of course, it's for revenge. I want to repay you for all the shame you brought me!"
The scarred man burst out with strong murderous intent, his face becoming more ferocious. He quickly jumped up, scimitars appearing in his hands, and swung them directly at Hisoka.
The scimitars rotated rapidly when released, forming two dangerous full moons. Fueled by aura, the power of the rotating scimitars was even more formidable.
Uh-huh!
Almost as soon as the scarred man swung his swords, Hisoka moved.
His figure blurred like a phantom as he faced the flying scimitars. Just before encountering them, he displayed incredible agility, flying through the air, slipping between the two scimitars, and continuing to approach the scarred man.
"Die by my Four Sword Styles, Hisoka!"
In the last Hunter exam that Hisoka participated in, the scarred man had only shown the two-sword style. But now, seeing Hisoka bypass his two swords, the scarred man immediately drew two more scimitars from behind and launched them at Hisoka again.
Hisoka's eyes changed slightly, but instead of fear, they gleamed with excitement and fierceness.
Two playing cards appeared in his hands, one held between each set of fingers. Not only did Hisoka not stop, but he burst out with even greater speed.
His arms blurred into afterimages, using the playing cards like blades. In a lightning-quick strike, the two scimitars were expertly knocked away by Hisoka with precision.
"How can it be?!"
The scarred man's pupils shrank to pinpoints, disbelief etched on his face.
The development from two-sword to four-sword style had bolstered his confidence to seek revenge on Hisoka.
But now, his so-called four-sword style had no effect at all. Instead, it was easily countered by Hisoka.
Just as the scarred man was in shock, Hisoka appeared before him like a phantom, then leaped into the air and landed behind him with two swift slashes.
