"The duke above Kroll would have received a promotion in status and an expansion of influence. Even Kroll himself could have beco one of the dukes. But because of my appearance, everything changed. Kroll and his people all died on the spot. The revived Rosgell was taken by . In the future, it's very likely to beco my Nen weapon—a humanoid Nen weapon. It just requires finding the correct way to control it, or consuming ti to gradually gain control. The harvest this ti was huge."
Ron was extrely satisfied with this gain. It was far more valuable than even a hundred billion Jennies. There was simply no comparison. An S-rank humanoid Nen weapon—this ant that even when facing an S-rank Nen user in the future, Ron would have so degree of initiative. Take for example the Chira Ant King.
The King's strength had already transcended the normal scope of power. An A-rank Nen user could not even withstand a single blow before the King. Even a squad leader could be killed instantly. And even Netero, despite being S-rank, was no match for the King. This was when Netero was fully trained in Nen with decades of experience, while the Ant King hadn't even properly developed Nen abilities yet, and still the gap was that vast.
It was a difference in lifeform tiers.
Even though Netero at that ti was not in his pri, he was still one of the top five Nen users on the human continent. Ron's current strength was still below Netero's. But by possessing this humanoid Nen weapon, Ron could at least fight for ti even against the Ant King. Against the Royal Guards, Ron even felt he had the possibility of defeating them.
Using the humanoid Nen weapon to withstand their attacks, Ron could find the opportunity to deploy his own techniques, which could threaten the Royal Guards.
A door appeared beside Ron. Ron closed his eyes, sending his aura into the desert region inside Sumas, locating Rosgell and slowly wrapping and washing it with aura. Just like when he first tad the Rotten Life Blade. Bit by bit, he pushed closer to gaining control over Rosgell.
"I can feel a slight change. Very slow, but it's there. At this rate, it'll take a long ti to fully grasp. But it's not a problem. This humanoid Nen weapon is worth it." Ron made so calculations. With his current strength, he was already considered extrely capable on the human continent. Among Nen users below S-rank, there were basically none who could threaten his life. As for those above S-rank, they all knew about Maha Zoldyck's existence. If soone dared to act against Ron, Maha would retaliate by targeting soone they cared about. No one wanted to face such obvious mutual destruction unless they were completely insane.
Ring ring!
The sound of a phone call rang out. Ron glanced at the caller ID. Without hesitation, he answered.
"Killua, what's the matter?"
"Ron-niisan, I want to ask you sothing."
"What is it?"
"Do you know much about Wing, the instructor that the Hunter Association assigned to and Gon?"
"What happened?"
"I just find it a little strange," Killua said. "Gon and I have already passed the Hunter Exam, but he keeps assigning us lots of basic training. Training that honestly has no effect. I've done all this long ago. Now doing that kind of training feels like playing house. And at the 200th floor and above of Heaven's Arena, that's when real Nen battles begin, right? Gon and I have already reached over 100 floors. We're close to qualifying for the 200th floor. But Teacher Wing still hasn't taught us Nen at all."
"I don't get it," Killua continued. "Is it that he doesn't want to teach us? Is he planning to wait until we qualify for the 200th floor and then teach us at the last mont? Or is he letting us first suffer defeat at the hands of a Nen user? But Sadaso said many fighters at the 200th floor are ntally unstable. They initiate brutal 'newcor baptisms' and things like that."
Killua's tone held clear dissatisfaction with Wing, though he was still trying to remain polite. Ron fell silent for a mont.
"The Hunter Association must have its reasons for this arrangent," Ron said calmly. "Wing's ability to teach should be fine; maybe his thinking just differs from yours. Perhaps he feels you're too young, that it's not the right ti to teach you Nen yet. He might want you to wait a bit longer."
"You don't necessarily need to rush to reach the 200th floor."
Killua replied, "Ron-niisan, I can wait, but Gon can't. Gon is much more impulsive than I am. Based on what I know of him, once he qualifies for the 200th floor, he'll definitely rush in imdiately. He's my first friend, my best friend. I don't want Gon to suffer through those 'baptisms'. And I especially don't want Gon to beco one of those freaks."
Ron smiled faintly, easing the atmosphere a little.
"Don't worry," Ron said. "If it really cos to that, I'll contact the Hunter Association myself. If they still don't make a move, I'll think of other solutions for you."
"Thanks, Ron-niisan."
"No problem."
Ron hung up the call.
To be honest, Ron didn't fully understand Wing's reasons either. Was it because he thought Gon and Killua were too young, afraid they would misuse Nen if they learned it too early? But Gon and Killua weren't ordinary kids. One was the heir of the Zoldyck family, the other was Ging Freecss's son.
The Zoldyck family wasn't worried. Ging wasn't worried. So why was Wing worried?
Moreover, they had genuinely passed the Hunter Exam. That alone proved they had earned Netero's acknowledgnt. Could it be that Netero had secretly instructed Wing to delay teaching them Nen until they matured a bit more? But judging from the original story, that didn't seem to be the case. Which ant it could only be Wing's own thinking.
