However, while Pariston may have a twisted personality, he isn't foolish.
Realizing that Morin might genuinely carry out his threats, he wisely chose not to press further.
The outco was already decided—Sayu, who had been exposed, could no longer retain his position as the Monkey of the Twelve Zodiacs.
Moreover, Netero would never disqualify Morin from being acknowledged as one of the world's top five Nen users based on this so-called thief identity.
Given the circumstances, what more was there to say?
Besides, Pariston had already gleaned so valuable intelligence on Morin.
With a calm smile, Pariston sat down again without further comnt.
If even Pariston, known for stirring the pot, fell silent, the rest of the Twelve Zodiacs naturally wouldn't voice any objections.
Add to that the endorsents from Ging and Zeno, two established mbers of the world's top five Nen users—who among them would dare challenge Morin's inclusion?
"Lo-lo-lo, so no objections?"
Netero, who had been silently observing the proceedings without intervening, smiled slightly.
"Well then, if that's the case, the list will be finalized—"
"Wait!"
A powerful voice suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned to see Botobai slowly standing up from his seat.
"Although I have no objection to Morin being nad one of the world's top five Nen users…"
His aura suddenly surged, powerful and overwhelming.
"I would like to test his strength."
Botobai's tone was calm, but his intent was clear.
The other Zodiacs were caught off guard. No one had expected Botobai to step forward at the last mont.
Given Botobai's identity as a three-star Terrorist Hunter, his hatred of evil, and Morin's status as a thief tied to a world-class criminal organization, his challenge wasn't entirely surprising in retrospect.
"Test my strength?"
Accepting the challenge, Morin stepped forward with a faint smile.
"In my hotown, there's a saying: 'Test it and you'll perish.'"
Botobai:
He didn't fully understand the saying, but he grasped Morin's underlying ssage—it seed like Morin was subtly warning him about the consequences of a fight.
"Please, enlighten !"
Even a clay figurine has its temper.
Realizing Morin's intent, Botobai's gaze sharpened, and his aura surged even stronger.
Clatter!
The other Zodiacs quickly cleared the area, leaving enough space for the two to engage.
"After that Hunter Exam, I've been wondering what path you'd take…"
With his powerful aura radiating outward, Botobai reminisced aloud.
"But it seems you've chosen the path I least wanted to see."
"And how would you know which path is right and which is wrong?"
Morin chuckled softly.
"I don't think the path I've chosen is bad at all."
"I've rely chosen the one that suits best."
Recalling their past conversation, Morin shook his head with a smile.
"Besides, I joined the Phantom Troupe before I even took the Hunter Exam."
"If you don't know where soone cos from or what they've been through, it's best not to judge them so easily."
Botobai fell silent for a mont before nodding slightly.
"I can't deny there's truth to your words, but…"
Botobai suddenly took a firm step forward.
"I also have reasons I'd die to defend!"
"In that case, prepare yourself."
Having said all he needed to, Morin stopped trying to persuade him.
After a brief pause, his figure abruptly vanished.
"Is that… teleportation?!"
The Zodiacs watching were astonished by Morin's sudden disappearance.
"Is that his ability?"
So wondered aloud, though they were skeptical.
If his ability was simply teleportation, it didn't seem to match Ging's description of a power capable of "instant kills."
"Using this move again…"
As Morin acted, Zeno narrowed his eyes.
He hadn't forgotten that this was the very move Morin used to eliminate Kurudo.
"A sudden attack, huh?"
Botobai, experienced in countless battles, remained composed.
He imdiately activated his En, sending a wave of Nen surging to his arms, reinforcing them completely.
"Behind !"
Botobai's En feedback revealed Morin's position, prompting him to unleash a powerful elbow strike behind him.
The aura on his elbow instantly transford into a concentrated wave of destructive force.
"A fierce attack, but unfortunately…"
Morin's voice ca from behind him.
"If it doesn't land, it's aningless!"
The next second, Botobai's body froze, his elbow mid-swing, completely immobilized.
One of the three great superpowers, Telekinesis!!
Although Morin hadn't controlled soone like Botobai for long, just a second or two was enough.
Boom!
A fist, enveloped with powerful Nen, silently struck Botobai's back near his heart.
Bang!!
Botobai's massive body was instantly sent flying backward.
From the mont Morin disappeared to Botobai being sent flying, the entire process took less than two seconds.
Stomp, stomp, stomp!!
Botobai's steps left several deep craters in the ground as he struggled to slow himself down. Using his Nen to protect his legs, he managed to stop himself. A line of fresh red blood slowly slid from his mouth.
Botobai was injured?!
The Zodiacs' faces imdiately turned serious.
If it hadn't been for Morin's punch…
Botobai, with his Nen abilities, had reacted quickly, rapidly reinforcing his body with Nen, just in ti to protect the area where Morin's fist had landed on his back.
If it weren't for that, Botobai wouldn't have just stepped back a few paces. He might've been sent flying, and certainly, the injury would have been much worse than a simple mouthful of blood.
Many of the Zodiacs ntally ran through the scenario, trying to consider how they would've dealt with Morin's rapid sequence of attacks.
But after reviewing it in their minds, they fell silent.
None of them had Botobai's Nen abilities. If they had been in his place, they would have either been gravely injured or on the brink of death.
With a slight misstep, they might have even lost their lives.
This made them even more wary of Morin.
In less than two seconds, he had already demonstrated enough to make people question his strength!
"His control over Nen, his timing, and his cultivation of Nen are all top-tier…"
Netero's eyes glead slightly.
Although he had already inquired about Morin's Nen abilities from Zeno and knew that Morin's understanding and cultivation of Nen were profound, it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he realized how much he had underestimated Morin.
Morin's strength exceeded what Netero had initially imagined.
"At this level of Nen, even without considering the specific Nen ability, he's fully worthy of the title of 'World's Five Great Nen Users,'" Netero thought to himself.
This was not just Netero's opinion but the shared thought of the other Zodiacs as well.
With just one punch, Morin's strength was clear for all to see!
"Vibration power?"
As the person involved, Morin glanced at his slightly trembling fist.
Nen surged, dissipating the counteracting force from the rebound of his own punch.
Even so, this still drained so of his Nen.
"A strengthening Nen ability, using the energy to reinforce his body into powerful vibrations to attack?"
It wasn't just the others who saw Morin's abilities as an indication of his overall strength.
Morin, through this single strike, understood Botobai's Nen ability.
Without a doubt, Botobai was a representative of the Enhancent-type Nen users.
His Nen was honed to be incredibly tough, and his developnt focused on what suited his large physique.
Vibrations?
That was Botobai's ability.
Vibrations are a common physical phenonon, the movent form created when a physical disturbance or vibration spreads through space.
There are many forms of waves, but they can be mainly divided into two types: one is chanical waves like waves on ropes, sound waves in air, or water waves, and the other is electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, light waves, and X-rays.
Morin, using his knowledge of physics from his past life, could already extend his understanding into many directions based on this ability.
But for Botobai, this was a blind spot in his knowledge.
His vibration power was limited to its most basic form, but also the most potent: the force of pure vibration.
And it was this singular focus that had allowed Botobai to develop an extraordinarily powerful effect with his vibration ability!
The dust has settled! The candidates for the "World's Five Great Nen Users" have been confird! The call from the Zoldyck family has arrived…
