“Fizz!” A point of fiery red light illuminated the dark space. Qin Lun lay flat on the bed, satisfied as he watched the blood-colored mist at his fingertip that kept changing like clouds.
He had been out of teor Street for about ten days, and had spent nearly eight and a half days in the underground castle of Watt City. The Guidance Mission from Shattered Starry Sky was already completed, but the main mission had not appeared yet. However, Qin Lun was very satisfied with the current situation. His fundantal goal for entering this world had been achieved.
During these eight and a half days in the underground castle, the Shadow Beasts organization provided the seven newcors with the most basic Nen Ability training. Since these seven had already awakened their Nen fields, they quickly mastered this ability. Qin Lun also completed the overall transformation from his killing aura to the Nen Ability combat system.
The intelligent lifeforms in this world all possessed more or less Life Energy. The special ability to freely manipulate this Life Energy, form it into a certain aura, and use it in combat or other aspects was called “Nen”.
Learning to use Nen Ability was the prerequisite for becoming a true powerhouse in this world. The fundantal elents of “Nen” were called the “Four Major Principles”, divided into “Ten”, “Zetsu”, “Ren”, and “Hatsu”.
“Ten” was the ability to keep Life Energy (Nen aura) around the body. It could enhance physical defense and maintain the body’s vitality and youth.
“Zetsu” was the technique to completely shut off the Nen field. By hiding life presence, one could evade enemies. In the Zetsu state, defense against Nen attacks approached zero. Entering the Zetsu state when tired helped recover stamina.
“Ren” could release more Life Energy through ntal focus. It was an indispensable prerequisite for strengthening the Nen aura and nurturing various powerful moves.
“Hatsu” was the substantial application achieved through the enhanced Nen aura. This was the technique Nen users used to freely control and utilize their own aura. Each person’s “Hatsu” ability varied; most belonged to combat skills.
Due to the individual differences among intelligent lifeforms, “Hatsu” was broadly divided into six major systems: “Enhancent Type”, “Emission”, “Transmutation”, “Manipulation”, “Conjuration”, and “Specialization”.
Each Nen user could utilize 100% of the Nen ability belonging to their own system, but found it very difficult to use abilities not of their own system. The relationships between them could be shown with a hexagonal diagram. Generally, the further away from one’s own system, the worse the efficiency of “Hatsu”.
For example: A Nen user whose own system was “Transmutation” could exhibit 100% efficiency for “Hatsu” of the “Transmutation” system. For the two adjacent systems, “Enhancent Type” and “Conjuration”, they could only achieve 80% efficiency. For the more distant “Emission” and the diagonally opposite “Manipulation”, the efficiencies were only 60% and 40% respectively.
“Enhancent Type” could strengthen various inherent abilities. Practitioners of this Nen ability were mostly close-combat fighters; both offensive and defensive martial skills were greatly enhanced. Of course, they could also infuse aura into weapons or form powerful aura bullets, but the accuracy would be poorer.
The most common ability of “Emission” was to shoot the released aura like bullets. High Rank Nen users who mastered “Emission” could imbue their own will into the aura, thus forming “Nen Beasts”.
“Transmutation” allowed the Nen aura to change its nature or shape, for example: turning Nen into lightning or fire. “Transmutation” Nen was extrely powerful when connected to one’s own body, but its power dropped sharply once separated. This attribute was used whenever changing the nature of Nen, but no matter what, this change still retained the property of “energy”.
“Manipulation” allowed one to inject their own Nen into themselves or other targets to achieve control (e.g., injecting into others to control them; injecting into tools to achieve automation.). This control required a lot of practice. If used on oneself, it could push physical abilities to the limit for a short ti.
“Conjuration” was sowhat similar to “Transmutation”, but it was no longer an energy nature; it acquired true physical form, allowing one to reshape Nen into any item they desired.
Theoretically, “Conjuration” could conjure anything (matter, space, consciousness, etc.). Usually, conjured items disappeared after leaving the body, but through training, disappearance conditions could also be set.
When Nen users of this type reached High Rank, they could even attach other characteristics to the conjured items. For example: making conjured paper possess writing mory ability, making conjured cake possess healing effects, etc.
The “Specialization” among the six major “Hatsu” systems was a bit special. Abilities that did not belong to the other five systems could be classified into this system. It was difficult to give it a specific definition.
Nen users of the “Specialization” system were very rare, and their abilities were mysterious and unpredictable. For example: so “Specialization” ability users could perform prophecies, so could fulfill others’ wishes. There were even so “Specialization” Nen users who could ignore system differences and utilize all six system abilities at 100% efficiency.
The specific differences in the Nen ability system stemd from each person’s aptitude, personality, and growth environnt. Generally speaking, Enhancent Type Nen users were mostly simple-minded and straightforward. Transmutation ability users had complex thoughts. Manipulation ability users had a relatively strong desire for control, etc.
Qin Lun and Joey belonged to two different personalities. Logically, Qin Lun should belong to the complex-minded Transmutation type or the control-strong Manipulation type, while Joey should belong to the Enhancent Type or the more obsessive Conjuration type.
However, the real situation was that they did not belong to any of the Nen ability systems. If they had to categorize the ability they transford now into this world’s Nen ability system, then it could only be said they belonged to an incomplete Specialization.
Specialization itself already included Nen users who could utilize the other five systems at 100%, almost covering all abilities, so why would there be so-called incomplete Specialization?
The reason lay in the Apostle’s Law Body. The Law Body could fuse with all law systems; logically, it wasn’t different from Specialization. However, Qin Lun’s current skill system was not complete enough. Combined with the restrictions of the Apostle profession, he could not form a complete Specialization ability.
For example, Qin Lun’s Pentagram Crystal Mirror Magical Array, classified by Nen ability, belonged to Emission; the simulation ability of the Clock Eye’s third pointer belonged to Manipulation; Swift Wind Step belonged to Transmutation; the Dagger of Sin could be classified into Conjuration.
However, these Apostle skills and soul equipnt that exhibited multi-system abilities were only in single forms and had not ford a complete ability system, so they could only be called incomplete Specialization.
Furthermore, through understanding the Nen ability system, Qin Lun now finally understood why there was no magic system in this world, why his Magic Scroll, and the Maze Spirit Channeling Art and Tree World Descent could not be used, but the equally magical Pentagram Crystal Mirror and Swift Wind Step were unaffected.
The reason was that Magic Scrolls and Tree World Descent needed to connect with natural energy; they were Law Abilities perford by communicating with natural energy. However, Pentagram Crystal Mirror and Swift Wind Step were magical skills that used one’s own mana.
The forr relied on external force, the latter on one’s own energy. The forr violated the Nen ability system built on utilizing one’s own Life Energy, while the latter did not violate this combat system.
For the sa reason, the Inferno Hound Cerberus summoned by the Maze Spirit Channeling Art was neither a Nen beast ford from one’s own Life Energy, nor did it belong to this world’s intelligent creature system, which was why it could not be summoned to this world.
Actually, learning or not learning Nen Ability had no effect on Apostles; their strength was still based on their own Apostle Skills and Apostle equipnt. However, for Qin Lun, it allowed him to utilize the killing aura that was originally only used to intimidate enemies.
The Apostle’s Heart of the Strong was not an unimportant term; it was a manifestation of combat ability.
In the tropolis Domination War, the Kung Fu Girl nlo, who comprehended the Warrior’s Heart, directly grasped the powerful “Circle of Iaido”. The Female Knight Yin Shi’s Knight Heart allowed her to learn “Aura of Sanctuary”.
But Qin Lun was different. Although Joey possessed the Heart of Slaughter, it did not help much in actual combat. Only now, after finishing learning Nen Ability, with the killing aura transford into a Nen field, did Joey’s Heart of Slaughter acquire specific offensive and defensive thods.
The Nen Ability taught by the “Shadow Beasts” organization still only remained at the basic stage. The “Nen” ford from the killing aura allowed Qin Lun and Joey to learn “Ten”, as well as one “Hatsu” attack ability.
Due to law restrictions, if they did not obtain the hidden skill, Qin Lun and Joey could not use “Zetsu”. As for “Ren” which increased the Nen field, there was simply no such concept; the amount of Nen ford from the killing aura was only based on Energy Points.
Even so, Joey was equally overjoyed. He had finally obtained relatively mature offensive and defensive abilities. Although Qin Lun could also use the “Ten” and “Hatsu” transford from the killing aura, compared to the mature Jungle Hunter skills, the one who benefited the most was still Joey.
The Nen ability ford from the killing aura was called “Blood of Dissection” by Joey, which fit his nickna “Dissector” quite well.
The blood-colored light sphere slowly faded, and the room sank back into darkness. After spending the tenth day in this world in the underground castle, Qin Lun’s Nen Ability training finally ca to a temporary end.
…
“Mission?”
Early the next morning, the underground castle did not organize another Nen Ability class. Yin found Qin Lun in his room and notified him to set out to carry out the first mission issued by the Shadow Beasts organization.
“Hmm, you have preliminarily mastered Nen Ability, so now you can go carry out the missions issued by the organization,” Yin said with an elegant smile. “Everyone’s Nen Ability is different. The path forward is for you to walk yourselves now. Only through practical application can you gradually improve.”
“What mission do I need to carry out?” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed as he smiled and asked.
“Let
see…” Yin took out a mobile phone from his pocket, checked it, and then said, “Oh, there are only two missions suitable for you right now. One is an assassination mission in the Kakin Kingdom on the Azian Continent. The other is a guard mission, right here in Yorknew City on the Yorbian Continent, where the grand annual Auction is about to be held…”
