Chapter 389 Rewards Beyond Cognition

Not only does it set rules that are very beneficial to the candidates, but it also tries to be as free as possible...

But even a shadow clone with one third of the strength is not something Killua and the others can easily defeat.

Not to mention the shadow clone with two-thirds strength, and Moyu's true body.

After participating in it, this group of candidates truly felt the difficulty of the third level test.

too difficult!

But--

While appreciating the extremely high level of difficulty, you can also see the pass key hanging above your head.

They have too many opportunities to try, so as long as they keep leaping forward, they should be able to touch the key hanging in front of them.

That is to say...

Persistence is victory!

That's right.

Moyu is also a human being, and it is impossible to always maintain a good condition under such rules.

Their advantage lies in their numbers and the fact that they don't have to worry about injuries.

So, the trick to passing the level is...

Persevere and persist, and then continue to increase the frequency of attacks until Moyu's condition begins to decline.

The candidates who had been unable to attack for a long time and collapsed from exhaustion soon realized this.

They are not the only ones who will be tired, there is also Moyu!

Similar scenes happened in two different places.

The members of Kurapika's team and Killua's team fell to the ground from exhaustion. They didn't have to worry about the attack of the shadow clones, they just lay on the ground to recover their strength.

The shadow clone just watched them quietly, transmitting the real-time picture to Moyu through the ability of vision sharing.

"There doesn't seem to be enough time in one day."

Moyu observed the crescent moon deep in his consciousness.

If you want to "charge" it into a full moon, you will have to make these candidates suffer for at least two days and two nights.

In this test, which was essentially a tug-of-war, Moyou originally thought that it would be enough. As long as the candidates showed their due level of ability, he would send out the number plates.

But he has now changed his mind.

Before ending the test, try to make the crescent moon turn into a full moon no matter what, and see what rewards you will get.

It would be great if I could get the reward of expanding the upper limit of manifested energy again...

Moyu thought in his heart.

after an hour.

After Kurapika's team and Killua's team rested, they once again attacked the shadow clones.

Thanks to Killua's body being highly resistant to drugs, otherwise Greta's anesthesia blow dart that hit his teammates might have resulted in one person being lost from the team first.

These two teams worked hard to get the number plate from the shadow clone.

However, no matter how hard they worked and how they racked their brains to adjust their strategies, they were unable to do anything about the shadow clones.

When the sun sets, night falls.

Once again, both teams were exhausted.

They seemed to understand a little bit why Moyu set up those rules.

It turned out to be to give them hope so that they would not be so desperate that they gave up the test due to the disparity in strength.

If this was a real confrontation, I really don’t know how many lives would have to be taken in order to successfully grab the number plate from the examiner.

time flies--

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the third day.

There is less than half a day left before the end of the test, but no team has yet been able to grab a number card from Moyu.

On the spaceship.

Nitro, Menchi, Satz and other examiners sat in a monitoring room.

More than a dozen screens hanging on the wall are broadcasting the third level test process in real time.

These real-time pictures come from more than a dozen members of the review committee on the island. Their duty is to watch the test process secretly, and by the way, provide the monitoring pictures to the Nitro people on the spacecraft through some instruments.

However, candidates such as Hanzo, Killua, Kurapika, and Gon can all detect the members of the review committee hiding in the dark.

"Across such a long distance, the control accuracy and endurance can be so stable."

Buhara stared closely at the shadow clone on the screen, amazed.

During the two and a half days of testing, Moyu's Nian clone always maintained amazing control accuracy and durability.

It is difficult for Buhara to judge based on this whether Moyu's ability is of the operational type or the releasing type...

The only thing that is certain is that Moyu's attainment of telekinesis has reached a terrifying level.

Satz and Menchi looked calm.

The two of them have a relatively clear understanding of Moyu's strength, so they will not be surprised like Buhara.

"Hoo ho."

Nitro stroked his beard, a look of anticipation appearing deep in his old eyes.

After two years, Moyo's return to the public eye did bring a lot of surprises, which made Nitro look forward to the competition after the test.

"There are still six hours left, and the third level test will be over."

The bean-faced man looked at the picture on the screen with worried eyes.

In the past two days, except for Hisoka who was hiding and paddling, the other candidates were trying their best to grab Moyu's number plate.

However, whether it is Moyu or the shadow clone, it is like a mountain that they cannot cross no matter what.

If this continues, Doumianren feels that this year's candidates will stop at the third test.

Thinking about the quality of this year's candidates, it would be a pity if it ended like this.

In contrast, Nitro has no such worries at all.

He had always known that Moyu was a young man who had a good sense of proportion, and he would not let this year's hunter test end hastily.

This is also true.

The bean-faced man's worries are completely unnecessary.

To tell why——

Because the "moon" deep in Moyu's consciousness is almost fully charged.

If it weren't for this unknown reward, he would have given away the number plate long ago.

"What reward will it be?"

The seemingly indestructible shadow clone once again exhausted the candidates who came to snatch the number plate. Moyu took advantage of the halftime break to sink his mind into the consciousness space and check the full moon that was about to take shape in the night sky.

It is impossible to determine the principle of charging.

It may be to let this group of candidates continue to feel his strength, or it may be to maintain a strong state and never let this group of candidates break through the defense line.

Anyway, as long as the number plate is still there, this suspected satisfactory charging progress will not be interrupted.

This is also the fundamental reason why Moyu has been persisting.

Until now, it's almost time to finish.

Half an hour later.

The shadow clone once again easily resolved the joint offensive from Killua's team, and the full moon deep in the consciousness finally completed the charging, and the reward was unlocked.

"Your Hardness·Bone Plating +1"

Moyu was surprised when he saw the unlocked reward information.

"This is... a derivative skill of Hardness?!"

Moyu found it a bit incredible to extract more detailed information into his mind.

Hardness is one of the application skills of Nen ability, and it is also a standard for testing the combat power of Nen ability users.

In this already mature Nen skill system, Nen ability users often focus on endurance when it comes to "hardness".

Under normal circumstances, those who can maintain "hardness" for more than 30 minutes in a fierce battle can be called true Nen ability masters.

And Hardness·Bone Plating is a skill that can enhance the hardness of "hardness", which is equivalent to forcibly opening up a new path in this mature Nen skill application skill system.

This is what surprised Moyu.

Not only is the impact of "Hardness·Bone Plating" on the current Nen skill system, but also because the emergence of this skill is beyond his cognition.

Looking at the previous rewards, as long as they are divided, it can be seen that those rewards are basically derived from Moyu's understanding and cognition of the work "Hunter x Hunter".

So when it comes to the reward of mind skills, the perception of what kind of energy as the driving force can give Moyou advanced application skills such as "hard" or "tough" that he has not learned yet.

Because even if Moyou does not know these advanced application skills, he knows that these advanced application skills exist in the mind skill system.

But the reward unlocked this time is an application skill that does not exist in the mind skill system, or it should be said to be a derivative skill.

So Moyou can't help but wonder-

Is this derivative skill of mind skill called hardness·bone plating a new product born with the help of "fantasy power", or is it originally a part of this world, but the mind ability users limited to the world map do not know its existence?

Since there are derivative skills of "hardness", will there be derivative skills such as "round" or "hidden"?

Moyou doesn't know...

Now he doesn't have the mind to delve into these, but wants to practice the effect of "hardness·bone plating" as soon as possible.

And this reward gave him an idea that he had never thought of before.

The principle of using the hard bone plating is to create a strict sense of layering in the form of "qi", just like stacked bones.

Therefore, when enduring the first or even the second wave of attacks, this structure of the mind state can produce stronger hardness defense.

But after enduring the attack, the stacked mind skeleton form will be flattened and restored to normal.

In simple terms -

The effect of the hard bone plating can increase the hardness of "hardness", but it will disappear when attacked.

After that, it can only take some time to reshape the mind skeleton to stimulate the defensive characteristics of the bone plating again.

But in the fierce battle where no distraction is allowed, this kind of thing is obviously difficult to do.

Therefore, the role of the hard bone plating in the mind power battle is limited to weakening the enemy's first wave of attack power.

Moreover, if Moyu had not practiced hard for two and a half years and made his mind control reach a first-class level, how to forge the bone plating in the mind form would be a difficult problem.

So after Moyu learned about these abilities, he had a wonderful idea.

He was thinking -

Is it possible to draw a "tattoo" on his body that can automatically circulate the mind-qi skeleton plating?

If this idea is feasible, the mind-qi skeleton plating can be formed autonomously in battle, thus greatly improving its practicality.

"Let's end the test quickly."

Moyu collected his thoughts.

Now he was eager to verify the actual combat effect of the hard skeleton plating and the possibility of cooperating with the divine character, so he didn't want to waste time on the test.

He wanted to greatly increase the degree of letting go.

At this moment, the night enveloped the entire island.

The urgency of time gradually changed the mentality of the candidates who had been unable to attack for a long time.

Will they fail?

Except for Xiaojie, other candidates began to doubt the initial idea that they could win as long as they persisted.

This was mainly because the defensive methods displayed by Moyu and Shadow Clone were watertight and so strong that they felt desperate.

It was clear that the rules of the third level test had given them an advantage, but after three days of hard work, they still achieved nothing.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

As the test time limit is coming to an end, the momentum of each team is no longer as high as before.

"Damn it...even if I work myself to death, I don't want to be eliminated in this way!"

Leorio, whose whole body was wet with sweat, staggered up from the ground, gritted his teeth and looked at the shadow clone that remained motionless.

Greta, who was on the same team, was too tired to move and had obviously given up.

Killua is in pretty good shape, but he is the type who gives up easily. In this failure after failure, what he sees is a zero success rate.

Gon is also very tired now, but like Leorio, he doesn't want to give up just like that.

In fact, if Moyu didn't need to unlock rewards and start to be more serious...

Otherwise their persistence must be meaningful.

Because according to Moyu's original plan, they should have successfully grabbed the number plate the next day if they persisted.

Now, on the contrary, it has accumulated deeper despair.

"Killua, let's try again."

Gon looked at Killua beside him, who had completely lost interest, and suggested.

Killua sighed after hearing this and said feebly: "Don't you understand yet? Unless Moyu lets go, we won't be able to get the number plate even if we spend another year."

"But the test is not over yet..."

Xiaojie tightened his grip on the fishing rod, with no intention of giving up in his eyes.

Killua looked at Gon's persistent and serious expression and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was teased by that old man on the spaceship.

"call……"

Killua let out a long breath and nodded towards Gon.

Anyway, the test is almost over, so just think of it as playing with Xiaojie for a while longer.

Seeing Killua nod, Gon smiled happily.

At this time, Leorio yelled and forced his exhausted body to rush towards the shadow clone.

"Hey, don't rush alone!"

Killua's face turned slightly dark.

My physical strength is almost at its lowest, so I might as well use my remaining heat.

Now that one person is charging indiscriminately, it’s all for nothing!

Leorio rushed to the shadow clone and reached out to grab the number plate on the shadow clone's chest with no skill at all.

The shadow clone looked calm and raised his palms forward, ready to slap Leorio away.

But at this moment, Leorio's legs that were stepping forward suddenly softened, and his entire upper body suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground.

The sudden tilt caused the shadow clone's vertical palm to pass over Leorio's scalp, but it missed.

Then--

A scene that shocked Killua and Gon for a year happened.

When Leorio lost his balance and fell in front of the shadow clone's feet, his right hand stretched forward and actually took off the number plate that they had been unable to grab for three days of hard work.

that's it……

Simply picked it off.

Killua and Gon slowly opened their mouths wide, and their whole bodies froze in place like wood.

So, what does their hard work these past three days mean...

The same scene happened in two other places.

So at about the same time, three teams successfully obtained their number plates and passed the third level of the test.

But they all knew that it was Moyu who let the situation slip.

When the candidates who passed the third level test came to the gathering place where the spaceship was, they looked at Moyu standing in front of the spacecraft's hanging ladder with complicated eyes.

Among these gazes, the most important thing is an indescribable awe.

"Master is still letting the water go."

Menqi held the back of his head with his hands, sat back on the chair, and watched the bean-faced man leave for the gathering place outside the spacecraft.
