Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 160 "German's Derivation of the Journey to the West's Nen Ability System"

As the rusty cargo ship slowly approached the shore, the long week-long sea voyage finally came to an end.

Although German, Kurapika and Saiyou found some interesting things to do on the boat from time to time, such as fishing or taking a walk on the small islands they passed by, nothing was more reassuring than stepping on the mainland.

The continent where the Kajin Empire is located is called Ezhen Continent, and it is exactly on the diagonal line across the sea from the Eurubian Continent where Youksin City is located.

This place is quite magical. It not only retains the historical flavor of the ancient kingdom that was the predecessor of the empire, but also has a modern sense of novelty after the rapid development of economy and technology.

After Xiyou had a brief chat with the members of the "Xiu Wu Family", he left with Germain and Kurapika, and took a taxi to the train station in a very familiar manner.

It seems that since Bi Yangde was hiding in the Kajin Empire, he had come here quite often during his journey to the West and was very familiar with the road conditions and landmark buildings.

The reason why Bi Yangde is here is very simple. The royal family of the Kajin Empire is the biggest sponsor of his next "Dark Continent Expedition".

The Kajin Empire has made remarkable achievements in various fields. It has risen so rapidly that it has the potential to be compared with the V5 powers. Even the "V6" argument has been repeatedly mentioned in newspapers in recent years.

Regardless of who spread this rumor, the current strength of the Kajin Empire is not false and should not be underestimated.

Xiyou booked a train compartment, which was quite spacious and bright, with four beds placed by the window. The three of them each chose a bed and then put down their luggage.

The train then started rumbling, with a slight jolt.

"It's a one-day and one-night train ride." Xiyou lay down on the white sheets carelessly, "Then someone will come to pick us up, and then we can meet Bi Yangde."

"Great! This journey is finally over. After my duties as a 'guide' are over, I will go around the Kajin Empire and take a break for a while."

He folded his hands behind his head and looked quite relaxed.

This was not the first time Kurapika had heard the name "Biyangde". He didn't know much about it. He only knew that his teacher came to the Kakin Empire just to meet Biyangde.

Kurapika had no idea about anything else. Since the teacher didn't say anything, he didn't pursue the matter further.

However, Kurapika more or less guessed that it was most likely the same as when they were at the mansion base.

The teacher, Bisiji, Xiaodi, Yungu, Menqi, Buhala, and Sambika have been hiding something, and that is probably the secret that the teacher hopes he can help with.

Kurapika believes that the reason why the teacher did not tell him the truth is probably because his strength is not enough. Even if he knew it, it would be meaningless and might even expose him.

After all, the total number of "Psychic users" in the six continents is not large, but it is enough to produce all kinds of strange "Psychic abilities".

The teacher once said that there is a person named Paknotta in the Phantom Troupe who possesses the "psychic ability" to "read memories", and Kurapika should be careful.

Sometimes, even if one is unwilling to reveal information, when facing some special "Psychic users", they will reveal everything in disguise.

As Kurapika was thinking, he suddenly thought of the "Nen System".

He felt that if he could identify the other party's "system" as quickly as possible, he might be able to prevent the other party's ability from taking effect.

So he sat on the bed and asked Germain, who was standing by the window enjoying the breeze, "Teacher, I have a question."

"Actually, you can also ask me." Xiyou was lying on his bed, eating a green apple, and said to Kurapika with a smile, "It's enough for me to guide you."

Kurapika just glanced at Saiyou but ignored him and continued to look in the direction of his teacher.

Xiyou curled his lips.

German paused by the window, then turned around.

He had changed into a black hunter's robe, a tricorn hat, and took off his mask, revealing his handsome face.

"what is the problem?"

"I heard from Biscuit that..."

Xiyou interrupted again at this time and emphasized: "It's Granny Bisiji."

"Indeed." Germain thought for a moment and nodded, "It's Granny Biscuit." "Teacher, Biscuit will kill you if she finds out." Kurapika held his forehead and continued, "I'm not asking about Biscuit's title, I'm asking about the 'system identification method'."

"She said that someone mentioned that one can distinguish the "Nen ability system" by personality..."

"Ah, that..." German pointed at himself and said, "That 'someone' is me. Also, I heard it from someone else. But you don't have to take this method too seriously."

"It's just empiricism, similar to the relationship between zodiac signs and personality, which doesn't make much sense."

"It gives you a long list of personality traits, and you can at least find one or two that match your own personality. Once you find more, you will believe in it more and more."

"My opinion is the same as Biscuit's. It has no meaning in actual combat. If you don't make rational judgments based on facts, you will die from this theory."

Kurapika listened, realized the seriousness of the matter, and nodded.

"I understand, teacher. I will sort out the differences and connections between the "Six Major Mind Ability Systems" instead of judging mechanically based on personality."

Xiyou became interested. He sat up, threw the apple core into the trash can, and said with a smile:
"If I hide well, and my "Nen ability" is still the kind of "first sight kill", which doesn't give you too much time to judge, what will you do?"

Kurapika listened and frowned.

Xiyou turned to Germain with a smile: "As his teacher, don't you answer this question?"

"My advice is to keep a safe distance." Germann closed the car window to block the wind outside and turned around. "Then it's still about observing, thinking and judging."

"What if I get close to you on purpose?" Xiyou got up from the bed and walked towards German.

Germain looked Xiyou up and down and said, "If you come close to me, it proves that you are confident in your own strength and speed."

"Because for you, even if you have the "First Sight Killing" "Psychic Ability", you still need to take a big risk to actively approach me. This distance is enough for me to seriously injure or kill you."

"You approached me because you were confident that you could dodge my attacks at this distance. In addition, I noticed that you were carrying a metal stick."

"That metal stick is too short and seems too strange to be used as a hidden weapon. However... your name, shape and this stick remind me of the myth of Sun Wukong."

Since there are "Dragon Ball" comics in this world, there is naturally the prototype of Sun Wukong - Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West".

"The golden hoop can freely grow, shrink, lengthen, and shorten. With such a "psychic ability", coupled with your confidence in your own strength and speed, I think you are a "transformation type."

In addition, what made Germann make such a judgment was because of Xiyou's other "psychic ability".

He can summon the "Monkeys of Do Not See, Do Not Hear, and Do Not Speak", a total of three "Mind Beasts" that can take away a person's three senses.

This is actually a bit similar to Biscuit's "Magical Beautician Miss Cookie" from the "Transformation System", both of which are "mind beasts" with special abilities.

At the same time, because he is closer to the "Enhancement System", it is not surprising that Xiyou is confident that he can avoid the close-range attack of German of the "Materialization System".

Of course, the "materialization" and "characteristic" "mind beasts" also have special abilities, but they were eventually ruled out by Germain.

Because the most important thing is that Journey to the West is based on Sun Wukong, so the old thief should not be unaware of the "Seventy-two Transformations", and this must have been a reference when creating the character. This is not something that Journey to the West itself can control.

Xiyou's movement towards him froze immediately.

His expression changed, and then he touched his head: "Haha, is it the "Transformation System"? This kind of thing is hard to say..."

Germain shrugged and didn't ask any further questions.

The teacher guessed right. Kurapika glanced at it and smiled.
