Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 406 Ant King VS Netero

Inside the palace, the ant king is playing chess with wheat.

He has lost to various champions in East Godot since he started competing, but initially it was only because he was not very familiar with them.

Once he gradually became familiar with the rules, he defeated the champions one by one.

Few people have been able to surpass him since.

The ant king believed he didn't need a teacher and could learn on his own.

Choosing this method is essentially just a special kind of training.

Netero's Hundred Styles were unbreakable, and as for the damage he suffered, his Nen had been growing stronger these past few days.

Without much training, all the applied skills were quickly mastered and reached a level of proficiency.

As for developing abilities, they will enhance their learning capabilities and transform the Chimera Ants' racial talents into Nen abilities.

The life energy of the creatures he devours is absorbed by him, increasing his spiritual energy.

He will also learn and master special talents; if it is Nen ability, he will master it directly.

It can be said that as long as the ant king eats freely, it can remain powerful indefinitely.

Even as a king, he had already thought it through.

In the future, only those who excel in a particular field will be qualified to be "eaten" by him to rule the world.

It must be said that they are quite arrogant in some respects.

The ant king even considers it an honor to be "eaten" by him.

Because the progress is different.

There wasn't the kind of deep "feeling" between him and Xiaomai, like in the anime.

Wheat's realization did not particularly move people.

Since there are human chimeric ants serving the wheat, there is naturally no possibility that even birds could bully the wheat and elicit sympathy.

For the Ant King, Wheat was just another person he couldn't defeat.

Of course, he also learned something from these champions and from McIlroy.

For example, understanding people's habits and knowing how they breathe.

Enhance your insight and find weaknesses.

After each loss to Wheat, he would not only recall the game record in his mind, but also the battle with Netero.

Find the patterns, habits, and remaining "weaknesses" within them.

Feel the breath of Nitero.

The three Royal Guardians and the King Chimera Ant both knew that the final battle had begun.

This is the third battle, and as the saying goes, "Third time's the charm," meaning this is the final duel.

The ant king stopped what it was doing.

"It seems this game will have to wait a while."

The three guards arrived at the palace in a hurry.

"king!"

"Let us..." Pouf and the others wanted to fight alongside the Ant King.

"This is my battle, and I will not lose this time." The Ant King is very dictatorial, and he will not accept the guards' suggestions.

Moreover, he felt he had a chance of winning this time.

"All you need to do is guard this place." The Ant King truly regarded this place as his own palace.

"And there are other small insects that you need to take care of."

The ant king walked out of the palace.

The three Royal Guardians had no choice but to accept the King's orders, though Pouf would certainly have some other little schemes up his sleeve.

He can create clones.

At least let him know what it's like when a king is fighting.

Not far from the palace, Netero waited quietly.

With each step he took, the ant king's aura grew stronger.

Because he was defeated by Netero, the Chimera Ant King did not display the composure of a "superior" as seen in the anime.

"I've given you a chance. This time I won't hold back. I'll really kill you." Netero's gaze sharpened.

"I can't wait to drink your blood; you will become a stepping stone on my path to becoming stronger."

This time, the Ant King will fight with all his might.

He believed that he would become stronger if he ate the guy in front of him.

"But before we fight, let me ask you one question: you must be the strongest human being, right?"

At least that's what the current Ant King thinks.

He had seen firsthand just how weak humans could be; even a newly hatched soldier ant was many times stronger than the weakest human.

"You should be the king of mankind?"

Because of what happened to Donggoth, the Ant King was not very sure.

After all, Donggoth was a very weak man, both in public and in private.

Even the Ant King would be puzzled: how could such a being become the king of a country?

"Haha!" Netero stroked his beard and laughed.

Netero's several brief encounters with the King Ant made him realize that the other was slowly becoming more "human".

If it were another subhuman race, then there would still be a chance of survival.

Unfortunately, it was a chimeric ant.

The nature and racial traits of chimeric ants destined them to be incompatible with the human world.

"You're mistaken. I am neither the king of mankind nor the strongest among them."

Humanity does not need such a king to exist above its head.

"If you can defeat me, then you will have the chance to meet the strongest human being in the world." Of course, Netero didn't think the other party had that ability.

Netero is quite confident in his abilities these days.

"Is he the ally you chose? Or is he the strongest human you claim to be?" The Ant King looked into the distance.

"I'm just an observer." Chris was standing not far away.

Lucci can watch the battle through him.

At the same time, the "battle process" can be saved for the two Neteros who are not here to watch.

"Spectators, huh? That's fine too!" The Ant King didn't see anything wrong with it.

Because he knew that Pouf's clone was also nearby, and could be considered an observer on their side.

"Then let me see how much you've grown over this period of time, and this time I won't hold back." Netero became extremely serious.

With his hands clasped together, a huge Guanyin statue appeared behind him, unlike the previous Guanyin statues, this one was holding a weapon.

This means that their power is incomparable.

Netero's training, apart from internal training with iron blocks, mainly focused on improving his skills in the Hundred Styles.

Further increasing speed is not so easy; what is being improved is power.

As Netero unleashed his Hundred Style, the Chimera Ant King also mixed his own aura before launching his attack.

Has anything changed? But as long as the attack patterns and habits remain the same, he will be able to see through them.

In his mind, he rehearsed the battle that had taken place before.

With his spiritual energy surging, various slashes appeared, integrating the Tempest Kick into his Hundred Styles.

The entire ground was directly destroyed; the dust had barely risen when it was all cleaved apart by the vacuum slash.

This attack was not only more powerful, but also covered a wider area.

The Ant King, on the other hand, moved swiftly, not only dodging attacks but also wielding its tail to unleash a vacuum slash similar to a storm kick.
