Chapter 12, up to the 200th floor
Several months have passed.
In just a few months, quite a few changes have taken place.
Lucci's bookstore was quite famous at first because it introduced various fighters and provided commentary.
But this business was quickly copied, and its technical content was nothing more than information about the players.
This isn't difficult either.
Then there were some ranking lists, but those were quickly copied as well.
Lu Qi did have a book business, and his plagiarized books gained some fame, but they didn't really become popular.
Because literacy rate has always been a problem.
Later, Lucci changed his approach again, directly recording his stories and then selling the tapes, which became an instant hit.
It has become another popular entertainment industry in Sky Arena.
After all, television sets had not yet been widely developed at that time.
Some martial arts practitioners even believed that the "martial arts" in the book were real and came to him wanting to learn them.
Of course, these effects are relatively minor for Lucci.
The real problem is that some Nen users, when listening to or reading books, can't help but wonder if those "martial arts" are actually Nen abilities.
They mistakenly identified internal strength as "qi".
Then, unable to resist trying it out, the result was that some of the martial arts techniques were actually replicated.
A typical example is the "Six Meridian Divine Sword," an ability that can be easily mastered by those with emission-type abilities.
This made Lucci a fortune, but pirated copies soon appeared.
Lucci couldn't help but sigh that it was too difficult to make money through legitimate channels in this world.
At this moment, in Lucci's bookstore.
A burly "man" is reading the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
She was deeply attracted by the "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" technique.
Since learning Nen, she has been focusing on Transmutation, because she is dissatisfied with her appearance and wants to change her body shape in the direction of Transmutation training.
Of course, this cannot be achieved overnight, and even if one wants to change one's physique, one still needs to maintain the ability to train one's body through repeated trials and tribulations.
She felt that this "martial arts" gave her a lot of inspiration.
In her view, the stages of rejuvenation and restoration of power described in the book were entirely "Constraint X Oath".
Is it possible to apply some of its benefits to one's own transformation abilities?
The 150th floor, where Lucci works.
He has been quite busy with work lately, as the biennial fighting tournament is starting in a month.
During this period, martial artists from all over the world have come to the Sky Arena to participate in this grand fighting tournament.
Such events naturally attract tourists from all over the world.
In this match, Lucci encountered a "familiar face".
A woman named Bisky Kuruja.
Of course, his appearance is not that of a loli from an anime, but rather a very muscular man who looks like a grown man.
Lucci had expected to encounter a Shingen-ryu disciple at the start of the fighting tournament, but he never expected to run into Bisky.
In the anime, she is a "mother type" character.
However, it seems that she has not yet mastered her Nen ability.
Lucci could sense the other person's aura; they were clearly a Nen user.
Of course, Bisky also glanced at Lucci.
Is he a young referee who is also a Nen user?
No wonder.
Looks like I should apply to become a referee for floors 200 and above.
During this period, the number of martial arts moves that Lucci copied was countless.
Next, we'll witness a close-up battle using Nen abilities and see if we can copy offensive Nen abilities.
As for the result of this match, there's no need to ask.
Bisky ended the fight with a single punch.
Even when she was young, Bisky was quite strong.
He has met quite a few Nen users during this period.
Those disciples of well-known martial arts schools are mostly Nen users.
There are far more Nen users than I imagined.
Lucci also learned that Netero, the founder of Shingen-ryu and chairman of the Hunter Association, would be attending this fighting tournament.
Bisky has appeared, so should we make contact with her?
But first, go apply to be a referee on the 200th floor or higher.
There are fewer than 150 judges in total for floors 200 and above.
Because only Nen users can hold this position, the number of them is much smaller.
The person conducting the assessment is one of the 20 chief judges, and Barn Frank, as Lucci's adoptive father, is required to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Lucci's test attracted a lot of attention.
Besides the referees, there were also some martial artists who had acquaintances or jobs at the Sky Arena.
Lucci's fame isn't just due to his age, being the youngest referee.
It was also due to the impact of "plagiarism".
Basically, anyone who knows about Nen believes that Lucci must be a Nen user.
Now they want to know if Lucci also possesses the "Nen abilities" that he wrote about.
When Lucci was being assessed, all twenty chief judges were present.
The person he was testing was named Bellamy Byron.
He is an Emission-type Devil Fruit user and also a Nen user who has mastered the "Six Meridian Divine Sword".
Of course, he had only heard of it and had never actually seen it.
It's impossible to know what it is.
He wondered if it might be similar to Franklin's abilities in the Phantom Troupe.
"The longer you can stay under my control, the higher your authority will be."
The chief referee is certainly not an ordinary Nen user.
Lucci remembered that the chief referee was also skilled in a martial arts style that emphasized finger techniques and pressure point strikes.
Some things do exist in this world.
Lucci entered the ring.
This should be my first time fighting against a Nen user.
There were also referees for this assessment, mainly to prevent any unexpected incidents, so Lucky's adoptive father, Barn Frank, served as the referee.
"To have mastered Nen at such a young age, your talent is extraordinary," Bellamy praised Lucci.
Mastering this skill is not easy; even the fastest, orthodox method of cultivation requires at least a week.
Previously, Lucci was just a nobody, only known as Barn's adopted son.
He only recently rose to fame, and it was only then that it was discovered he was also a Nen user.
Young Nen users do exist, but they are extremely rare; when they do appear, they are absolutely one in a million geniuses.
Barn gave the order to begin.
Bellamy then said, "I'll give you the chance to make the first move."
Even if you think Lucci is a genius, you don't think he's that strong right now.
Age is also a very important factor.
Lucci, on the other hand, was contemplating whether to go all out.
It can be hidden a little.
A ball of red Nen energy appeared on Lucci's body, and a form appeared on his shoulder.
A fiery red bird appeared on Lucci's shoulder; it was Phoenix.
"Oh, a Nen beast!" Although Nen beasts have common abilities, they are not easy to cultivate successfully because they involve abilities from several different categories.
