Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 130, First Exam

Lu Qi smiled as he faced the candidates.

Despite his calm demeanor, few dared to meet Lucci's gaze.

"I'm sure you've already guessed it, I'm the examiner for this exam."

The test takers, however, remained relatively calm and began to ponder.

It seems this exam is really going to result in casualties.

The number of martial artists behind Lucci is the same as the number of examinees, enough to make them make many guesses.

So how will it be done?

A 50v50 battle!

But it probably won't be that simple!

"As you can see, the fourth test is related to the Basen Rainforest Challenge."

"By now, you must have learned more or less about the existence of Nen in Kree City and Sky Arena."

As Lucci said this, a fireball emerged from his left hand, hovering and slowly growing larger, with the temperature of the flames also increasing.

It attracted the attention of many test takers.

"Nen is a magical power, and it is also a power that hunters must master. When you pass the hunter exam, the association will arrange for a special hunter to teach you Nen."

"I find it too troublesome, so as long as I can pass this test, I will definitely be able to safely awaken the power called Nen."

Lucci paused for a moment.

But it was enough to ignite the passion in the hearts of many test takers.

Their experiences and observations in Kerry City and the Sky Arena introduced them to the existence of Nen.

In particular, some test takers had even seen battles on floors 200 and above.

It was like "gods fighting".

Of course, they are not naive enough to believe that these people are so powerful simply because of their Nen abilities.

"Besides this, there will be other benefits, which can be considered as a small reward for those who pass."

"Now, let's talk about the content of the fourth exam."

It's different from the third exam.

There is no limit to the number of people who can pass the fourth exam.

In other words, theoretically speaking, all candidates should be able to pass this exam.

"Near Cape Radboud lies the large Basen Rainforest."

"What you need to do is survive in the Basen Cloud Forest for 15 days and obtain five cores, then you will have passed this test."

core?

What is this?

The test takers didn't quite understand.

Lucci quickly explained.

"There is a minority group in the Basen rainforest called the Pachi, and the core of the exam is related to the Pachi."

"Of course, you also need to be careful, as you will also be considered prey and hunted, and the hunters are naturally the group of martial artists behind me."

As expected, as soon as Lucci finished speaking, all the examinees looked at the martial artist behind him.

Some of the martial artists smiled at the examinees, while others observed them, trying to see if there were any strong individuals among them.

"Of course, not everyone will hunt you. They will draw numbers to determine their targets."

As soon as Lu Qi finished speaking, all the candidates immediately removed their number tags.

"Are they the only ones allowed to hunt us?" one examinee frowned.

"Of course not." Lucci didn't finish his sentence.

However, these people selected are not ordinary martial artists. Some of them, even without awakened Nen, are still capable of fighting against ordinary Nen users.

Learning to read aloud does not give you an absolute advantage over someone who cannot read it.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and Nen cannot pose a sufficient threat.

It's like the battle between Killua and Chihiro, or the battle between Baku and the Chimera Ants.

"Next, you can each go to the Basen Rainforest in your own way. Once you have obtained the five cores, you will naturally qualify."

In other words, the test takers can take the lead.

Without hesitation, all the candidates quickly left the airship airport and separated into teams and squads.

Jin and his group, on the other hand, formed a large team of thirty people.

The main reason was that Russell's call was met with overwhelming support, and he suggested finding the head of the Conrad family here to see if they had any intelligence to support him.

At least find out the situation in the Basen rainforest and the Pachi tribe.

Russell didn't know much about his family's affairs, as he had been busy cultivating in the past and hadn't focused much on them.

But if he wanted to know, given his status in the Conrad family, none of this would be a problem.

Meanwhile, the martial artists at the airport began drawing numbers to identify their targets.

After explaining the exam rules, Lucci disappeared.

"ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh, I also want to know the secrets of the Patch tribe," Elliott said with some regret.

If he could, he would want to become a test taker.

"Lord Bisky, what should we do now? Should we wait here?" Anne asked.

If nothing else comes up, she plans to return to the Sky Arena to train.

"Although we're not participating, we can still observe from a distance and see what this test is all about."

"Are you alright?" Annie asked worriedly.

The connection between Lucci and the Patch tribe has long been a "city legend" in the Sky Arena.

"It's alright."

Bisky had some guesses about the content of the exam.

That "core" is the key, but we don't know what kind of strength it has.

In the Basen rainforest, the moisture is even more abundant than before, and fog is everywhere.

However, there are five slightly exceptions, which can be considered as five small "villages".

This is the Pachi tribe's village showcase to the outside world; the real village, of course, is hidden in an "alternate dimension."

At Cape Radboud, Russell, along with a large group of test-takers, had already met with Conrad's representative in the city.

The Conrad family has a medicinal herb cultivation business in the Basen Rainforest and is quite familiar with the area.

"What? There's no map? How can there be no map?" Russell asked, puzzled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Russell, the Basen Rainforest used to have maps, but it no longer has maps."

"Why!"

The person in charge immediately explained, "The Basen Rainforest is now under the control of the Pachi tribe. As you know, young master, Nian exists. Apart from the correct route map, the rest of the Basen Rainforest is shrouded in mist."

"It's easy to get lost in it, drawing a map is too difficult, and there are changes every month."

He then produced a map, but it was merely a map showing the Conrad family's assets in the Basen Rainforest.

This is unaffected and there are no problems.
