Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 193 The Illumi Project

Upon reflection, Silva realized that if Kree City could continue to exist like this, then more and more geniuses would emerge in the future.

There will be more and more strong people.

This method of systematically cultivating strong individuals is somewhat frightening to Silva.

The difference between them and the Zoldyck family lies in their "life-or-death battle experience," as well as the different training systems for assassins and martial artists.

If judged by life and death, these martial artists could not possibly be a match for the assassins.

If it weren't for the rules of the arena, Illumi could have reached a higher level.

But some things can be honed; as long as one doesn't die, strong individuals will always emerge.

Then he thought of Netero, the world's strongest man he had heard about from his father, and kept lamenting that he had no rivals.

So, as Netero's disciple, is he completely indifferent to cultivating powerful opponents, and even expects such people to appear?

Silva misunderstood.

It seems that the Zoldyck family's training methods also need some changes.

This is Silba's idea, but he still needs to go back and discuss it with his father before deciding how to proceed.

Silva is not yet the head of the Zoldyck family.

"Have you ever thought about joining a martial arts dojo?" Silva didn't dwell too much on the issue of the Adventurer's Mark.

Instead, he inquired about Illumi's plans.

With the changes to the Heaven's Arena, Illumi naturally couldn't simply climb the floors by playing matches like Killua later on.

Some other preparations definitely need to be made.

"I'm still considering it, but I've already experienced the gravity training room once, and it's quite amazing," Illumi praised.

Having been at the Sky Arena for a few days, he wasn't just focused on fighting and climbing the floors; he was also learning about other related information.

After all, as an assassin, one must be trained in intelligence gathering.

Having sensed that each of his opponents was formidable, Illumi naturally sought to understand the reasons behind their strength.

It's not really a big secret.

First and foremost, they receive guidance from renowned masters. Disciples from the Daibudokan all receive instruction from master instructors, laying a solid foundation from a young age.

If a disciple is a highly promising genius, then the martial arts school will invest in him from a very young age.

After each training session, a dedicated person would massage them to help them recover as quickly as possible; those who were more extravagant would even have a massage therapist who could assist with Nen cultivation.

Secondly, there's the matter of diet, which involves scientific adjustments and the use of secret recipes.

Training in conjunction with gravity chambers.

In order to hone their combat skills and mental fortitude, they also participate in other fighting competitions in Kerry City, or challenge other martial arts dojos.

Nowadays, almost all disciples who join a martial arts school follow a normal training process.

In Illumi's view, this might not be any worse than the Zoldyck family's training, except that they would have some additional killer training procedures such as poison resistance and pain familiarity.

In some aspects, it is even more outstanding than the Zoldyck family.

The first one is the gravity chamber, which is not found in the Zoldyck family.

It is more comprehensive than simply training with weights.

"However, if we want to join the martial arts dojo, some things won't be so easy," Illumi said, but it also sounded like a question.

He comes from an assassin family, so it's not that he can't join a martial arts dojo, but if he joins a martial arts dojo, he has to abide by the dojo's rules.

It's not something you can simply ignore.

If it were in the past, it wouldn't have been so bad, but with the appearance of Lucci, many martial arts schools have become powerful forces.

In the past, a martial arts school could flourish for a time if a strong person emerged, but if no talented disciple ever stood out, then the martial arts school was likely to gradually decline.

Lucci's appearance, through the Sky Arena, allows these martial arts schools to stably produce disciples with decent strength. With Lucci's "assistance" as well, a community of shared interests is formed.

Major martial arts schools are already well-known in countries around the world.

Branch halls have been established in various countries, all in order to receive more talented disciples.

After all, there are too many martial arts dojos in Kerry City, making it extremely difficult to find a genius disciple.

Although the "Martial Arts Alliance" has not been formally proposed, there is already a trend toward it.

It's like a collection of gangs from all over the world.

Unlike gangs, this "Martial Arts Alliance" may not have as much money or territory as gangs, but in terms of strength, it is far superior to gangs.

If Illumi joins a martial arts dojo, and later, as an assassin, kills a dojo member, it could cause him trouble.

"There's no need to hide your identity. If you encounter any problems in the future, just let them come to us," Silva simply replied.

Silva asked Illumi which martial arts dojo he wanted to join, naturally hoping to get him funding for his training from a dojo.

While the Sky Arena does exist, it's generally only accessible to players who have reached level 200 or higher.

Illumi is here to train, so it's impossible for him to wait until he reaches the 200th floor before considering it, and it's also unlikely that he'll reach the 200th floor at this stage.

As for trouble, the Zoldyck family's gates are all tourist attractions, and the Zoldyck family has never been afraid of trouble.

"I understand." Illumi nodded in acknowledgment.

After inquiring about Illumi's plans, Silva nodded in satisfaction.

Illumi is his eldest son, and Silva cares about him a lot. He is also quite "dutiful" in teaching him, seemingly wanting to pass on all his experience to Illumi.

As the eldest son, Silva's teaching of him leaned more towards assassination, and his requirements were stricter.

Silba's demands on his subsequent children were noticeably lower.

His second son turned out to be a complete shut-in and a "fat otaku." If it weren't for Greed Island, he probably wouldn't want to go out at all.

Killua was highly regarded by his family because of his talent, but the responsibility of his education mostly fell on Illumi, with Silva secretly guiding him from behind.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Illumi to insert the needle into Killua without his permission.

The fourth son's desire to be a "daughter" was somewhat fulfilled, and he was taught by Ji Qiu.

As for the fifth brother, whose identity is unknown, imprisonment is his fate.

Finally, he added, "Now that you've become an adventurer, you should take the opportunity to explore the secret realms. After all, such experiences are quite rare."

Silva originally didn't plan to stay in the Heaven's Arena for too long; he just planned to send a butler to keep an eye on Illumi later.

However, the changes at the Sky Arena were so significant that he decided to stay for a while longer.

It's a bit of a shame that, unlike Meteor City, this place isn't suitable for finding a butler.
