Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits Chapter 81: Darkening (Black)! Hisoka VS Riku

You really should be thankful to this society ruled by law, and thankful to the countdown above your head for saving you.

It allows you to live a little bit longer.

Riku sneered internally.

"Oh, if you ca over just to inform of this matter, I already know. Let's go, Gon, Killua."

Riku yawned out of boredom.

He didn't like doing such useless work.

Especially on a poseur like Hisoka, expending great effort to deal with this guy didn't have much return, because he wouldn't drop any traits right now.

But three days from now!

Very unfortunate.

On that day, my Ulquiorra happens to be on duty.

Riku smiled. Gon-kun and Killua were still glaring at this bizarre-looking clown like tigers eyeing their prey, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.

The figures of the three ultimately disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"I didn't expect a dignified Troupe mber to be looked down upon. You're not going to make just watch the match, are you?"

Suddenly.

A figure stepped out from a nearby fork in the road, speaking with a girlish voice but carrying a hint of disdain.

Troupe mber, Machi!

"Just doing a little preparation. Wait here for a few days. After my battle with that kid is over, you can leave."

Hisoka said expressionlessly.

"I can't see it. A guy whom even the Boss values so highly actually lost confidence in himself? Is that kid very strong? He looks very ordinary to ."

Machi glanced at the direction Riku and the others disappeared.

"Hehe."

Hisoka didn't waste any more words, just turned and left, leaving the solitary Machi behind.

"This guy!"

Machi spat hatefully and also left for the ti being.

She swore.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had hired her at an astronomical daily rate, she absolutely wouldn't linger in a place like this.

...

Two days passed in a flash.

On the Heaven's Arena ring.

"Let us welco the contestant for this match with enthusiastic applause, the contestant known as a supernova, Riku! Maintaining a record of 9 consecutive wins on the 200th floor!"

"And our legendary contestant, Hisoka!! Let us give a warm welco!"

The beautiful host's passionate and unrestrained voice rang out.

It instantly pushed the atmosphere of the entire venue to a climax.

Riku's performance during this period was also very outstanding, considered one of the super dark horses among his peers.

Hisoka possessed even higher popularity in the arena, even higher than Kastro!

This guy's appearance was quite good, and coupled with the fact that all his previous failures in his battle record were caused by not fighting, it actually gave the spectators more to talk about.

He belonged to the category of hot topics!

"Riku-nii, do your best!!"

In the ring, Gon-kun shouted nervously.

"Older brother Riku will definitely win!"

Killua also couldn't help but sweat for Riku.

He could perceive Hisoka's power; this guy was even more dangerous than Kastro.

"It will be very difficult... I'm afraid your older brother will lose very miserably in this match."

An unfamiliar voice ca from the side.

The two turned their heads to look and shockingly saw a man entirely wrapped in bandages, yet still sitting in the spectator seats.

"Who are you!?"

The two were surprised.

"? Hehe... uh, I am Kastro... I once lost to Hisoka. That guy is a monster. Your brother is too young. Although his match record is indeed very good, compared to Hisoka, the gap is still quite large."

Kastro shook his head.

Originally, his goal in coming to Heaven's Arena this ti was to seek revenge on Hisoka, but he didn't expect to suffer a crushing defeat right at the start.

So even though he was not lightly injured, he still escaped from the hospital to specifically watch this match.

Because Riku's record was also quite dazzling, at least in his eyes, he was an expert with decent strength. Of course, in Kastro's understanding...

It was impossible for Hisoka to lose to such a young little guy.

"Mr. Kastro?! I watched your match from a few days ago. That Ulquiorra is truly powerful! Your loss was not unjust."

Killua's eyes lit up; he still relatively acknowledged Kastro.

"Yeah, that guy is indeed very powerful. I also didn't expect that such a powerful existence other than Hisoka would appear in Heaven's Arena. Losing to him, I am indeed convinced wholeheartedly."

Kastro couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Even up to today, his heart was still shocked by Ulquiorra's power.

"Even... that guy might be even stronger than Hisoka. If Hisoka defeats your older brother in this match, then tomorrow he will fight that monster. I am even more looking forward to tomorrow's battle."

Kastro said in a deep voice.

"Riku-nii won't lose. You don't understand Riku-nii's power!"

Gon-kun argued.

"I also believe in older brother Riku! Mr. Kastro, older brother Riku is far more powerful than what you see; Hisoka might not be his match."

Killua was also quite confident.

This scene made Kastro sowhat surprised; he didn't understand why the two little guys were so full of confidence.

If Kastro could see with his own eyes Riku beating up Silva Zoldyck, perhaps he would redefine this match.

In the ring.

"Hehe, I've finally waited for this day. It seems you have already learned Nen, and the fruit has ripened."

Hisoka stared hotly at Riku, his greedy-looking eyes licking the corner of his lips.

In his gaze, Riku didn't seem like a human, but rather more like a piece of art or a fully ripened fruit.

It was an extrely disgusting look.

"Are the two of you ready? If so, I will announce the start of the match."

The referee standing to the side slowly raised his hand, looking at the expressions of the two contestants, preparing to give the order.

This was an incredibly thrilling match, and even as the referee, he had already begun to look forward to it.

After all, both sides were super dark horses.

And from beginning to end, especially Riku, he had defeated all opponents with a single strike, without truly showing his strength in battle.

"I surrender."

Before the referee could speak, Riku directly raised his hand.

"Ah!?"

Hearing these words, the referee was completely bewildered. Not just him, even Hisoka, standing opposite him in the ring, had a bewildered look on his face.

He never dread that Riku would actually choose to surrender.

Because at least during the Hunter License Exam back then, Riku had clashed head-on with him.

This guy absolutely didn't lack the will to fight.

But Hisoka simply couldn't find any reason for Riku to choose to surrender.

This instantly dissipated more than half of the battle interest he had just raised, like a tightly clenched fist hitting cotton.

"Wait, Contestant Riku. If you choose to surrender, then this match will directly rule you as having lost."

The referee emphasized.

For any contestant, losing a match was equivalent to having to fight two more matches to recover it. This was absolutely not a worthwhile thing.

"Of course, I surrender. I'm leaving."

Riku couldn't be bothered to explain to this referee, just said a sentence, then put his hands in his pockets, turned, and left.

Behind him, Hisoka's expression was so gloomy it was almost dripping water.

He was already passionately prepared for a battle, but he didn't expect Riku wouldn't give him this chance.

"Can you tell a reason?"

Hisoka suddenly spoke.

Riku stopped his footsteps and turned his head to look at him.

[Trait Farming Cooldown Countdown: 12H]

But he didn't state any reason as the opponent wished, still turning and leaving.

Hisoka's expression beca even more sinister. This guy...

Because from the opponent's eyes, he actually saw a kind of condescending contempt.

One must know this guy was his prey, a fruit he had been waiting to ripen. But he didn't expect the opponent, as prey, to lack this awareness.

And to actually view him with such a look.

Hisoka even had the urge to directly kill the opponent.

But soon he thought it through again.

"Hehe, I see. Alright then, I'll deal with you after I finish solving tomorrow's trouble."

Hisoka suddenly understood.

In his view, Riku deliberately avoided this match with him because if he surrendered this match, then the guy he would match with next would be Ulquiorra, who also held the title of super dark horse!

That guy was also one of the fruits he wanted to hunt.

What a smart little brat, actually wanting to first watch his battle with others before considering fighting him.

Although this approach was sowhat shaless and even lacked dignity, it had to be said it was a smart choice.

Things are truly getting more and more interesting.

The corners of Hisoka's mouth slowly curled up into a curve of mysterious confidence.

He had seen through everything.

"Announce the match result, referee."

He glanced at the referee standing blankly to the side and reminded him.

Only then did the referee co back to his senses. Looking repeatedly at both sides, Riku had even already left the ring. He had to raise the flag in his hand and announce that Hisoka had won this match.

And in the instant he announced the victory, the entire arena directly boiled over.

"Rigged! Rigged! Rigged!!"

"F*ck you! Refund!!"

"Refund!! Refund!!"

"Match-fixing! Match-fixing!!"

...

One must know the ticket prices for this match were not much different from Kastro's previous match; both belonged to popular matches and were about 10 tis the usual price.

But the match hadn't even started, and Riku directly chose to surrender. This instantly made the spectators in the stands, who were prepared to watch a good show, filled with dissatisfaction one by one.

Voices like a tidal wave almost drowned out the entire arena.

There were even many verbal and written condemnations against Riku, believing him to be a coward unworthy of fighting in Heaven's Arena.

"Riku-nii..."

Seeing Riku return to his seat, Gon-kun's expression was sowhat complex at this mont.

A large portion of those spectators below were currently scolding Riku and so on.

On the contrary, the spectators sitting in this special viewing area didn't speak, because they were all participating contestants, but the gazes they cast upon Riku were clearly filled with contempt and mockery.

In this Heaven's Arena, voluntarily surrendering is deed the most disgraceful action.

Even if the disparity in strength between the two sides is very large, one should at least fight a bit.

Such a direct surrender is simply a matter lacking backbone and dignity.

But Riku had no choice either.

If he defeated this guy Hisoka in this match, then he wouldn't be able to match with Ulquiorra tomorrow. That way, he simply wouldn't be able to farm Hisoka's traits. The cooldown ti, ah...

But as long as he deliberately let Hisoka win this match, he would automatically match with Ulquiorra tomorrow, the cooldown would be complete, and he could perfectly farm traits.

So.

There was simply no need for him to waste energy on this guy.

Riku's current goals were no longer experts at Hisoka's level.

Hisoka was at most a boss of an elite dungeon, sothing to be fard in passing. The Chira Ants, Netero, the Dark Continent in the future, that was the direction he should truly yearn for.

"Older brother Riku must have his own considerations, Gon."

Killua explained.

He was filled with unconditional trust towards Riku.

"This is a very wise choice: avoid a monster like Hisoka, and then win back victories from other contestants. Of course, the premise is that you don't encounter that monster Ulquiorra."

Kastro, tied up in bandages from head to toe behind them, comnted.

"I felt a little unwell today, so I didn't really want to fight. Winning or losing isn't particularly important to ."

Riku smiled.

Over the past two days, he had conveniently fard traits from Gon-kun and Killua. The thod was naturally very simple: just fighting under the pretext of guiding the two, and defeating the two little guys.

The traits of these two little guys went into cooldown ti again.

He obtained two designated dropped traits respectively.

[Darkening] (Black)

[Lightning Resistance] (Purple)

The traits on the two little guys were basically almost completely fard out by him.

Sothing like Lightning Resistance could also be considered not bad. The future Riku would inevitably be able to forge himself into an all-around warrior.

In terms of defensive strength, a true super at shield!

This thing called Darkening belongs to a double-edged sword, but after obtaining it, Riku had an extra life-saving trump card.

This thing could be activated again on the premise of having activated the Scarlet Eyes.

As for how much of a bonus effect there would be, that wasn't clear.

But the effect would absolutely be the several-fold explosive increase of the Scarlet Eyes multiplied by the several-fold explosive increase of this thing!

The amplification could reach an incredibly terrifying degree.

But it would madly consu one's own vitality and physical body. Didn't you see that after Gon-kun used this thing back then, his entire person almost turned into dried wood?

He still had to find that monster from the Zoldyck family to make a wish to be resurrected.

Riku naturally wouldn't place such a dangerous thing upon himself.

Possessing [Absolute Will] (Red), even after activating the Darkening ability, there's a high probability he would retain a portion of his self-consciousness.

But the consumption of this thing on oneself was too great.

Unless encountering absolute danger, it was impossible to use it. It could only serve as the absolute bottom-of-the-box ultimate move.

The ultimate move after an ultimate move!

But it was also very perfect.

Riku's explanation was very far-fetched, but Gon-kun and Killua wouldn't probe deeply into it; they still believed Riku more.

It was just that the public opinion of Riku among many spectators in the arena rapidly declined, even kicking him directly out of the ranks of super dark horses.

Believing that such a cowardly guy wouldn't beco a super dark horse and stand alongside those true monstrous geniuses.

The ti until the next day passed in a flash.

The next day.

The news of Hisoka VS Ulquiorra once again ignited the enthusiasm of all the spectators.
