Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 367: Ji Hee's Frustration and the Ticket to Greed Island

While Kurapika, Killua, Gon and Leorio were all going smoothly, Tomoki, who was also in the Sky Arena, was in a difficult and embarrassing situation.

He had a high win rate on the 200th floor, but he had never been able to reach 4 wins before 10 losses, so he never had the chance to challenge the floor master like Kurapika did.

This made Zhixi very envious of Kurapika, but also very frustrated.

He actually started learning Nen about a week earlier than Kurapika last year, and half a year earlier than Gon and Killua.

But, look at the results now?

Kurapika's current combat power is far superior to his, and he has even successfully become the master of the Sky Arena.

Killua and Gon also reached the 200th floor and achieved a 3% win rate in 100 games.

Of course, this 100% win rate is because they have only played 3 games and will not play again, so they are not very interested in becoming the tier leader.

But Zhixi wants to stay in the Sky Arena and continue to challenge to become the level master.

However, it took Killua and Gon less than half a year to improve their combat power to this level, and Tomoki couldn't help but be amazed.

Kurapika, Killua, and Gon, all of whom are extremely talented, were discovered and brought to the Sky Arena by the same person: Mr. German.

Zhixi also had to sigh at Mr. German's accurate vision.

Even though Killua and Gon have family bloodlines, if we count back, who hasn't had a strong ancestor?

In the end, it was the incompetent descendants of the strong ones who corrupted this bloodline.

Killua and Gon were obviously not among them.

They are examples of people with pedigree, talent, determination, and hard work.

It's okay that Kurapika is a few years older than him, but Killua and Gon are the same age as him.

Zhixi watched helplessly as they used their talents to close the gap with him in just a few months.

It was a really scary and stressful experience.

This almost defeated Zhixi.

Yun Gu keenly noticed the change in his disciple's mood at this time. He smiled slightly, stood up and patiently persuaded him.

"Zhixi, don't be discouraged. You are definitely a genius among your peers. It's just that the three of them are geniuses among geniuses, and you just happened to meet all three of them at the same time."

"This will make you feel a big gap, but don't be discouraged. You are definitely one of the best among your peers. As your teacher, I am sure of this."

"There is a reason why they have such talent and strength. Kurapika is the disciple chosen by Germain, Killua is the most talented child in the Zoldyck family, and Gon is the son of Gin Fulis, one of the 'Five Greatest Nen Users in the World'."

"So, don't worry. The Heart Flow has been proven by predecessors that as long as you work hard, you will definitely get the corresponding results. Don't doubt yourself, and don't doubt the Heart Flow."

With Yun Gu's patient comfort, Zhixi finally felt a little better, and then he became curious again.

"Master," Zhixi asked his teacher, "We follow the 'Heart Source School', so what school do they follow?"

Yun Gu adjusted his thin-rimmed glasses, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Killua and Gon learned Nen from me, which can be considered the 'Heart Source Flow'. As for Kurapika, as far as I know, he follows the 'Blood Source Flow' proposed by Germain."

Zhixi asked in surprise: "Is there any difference between them?"

"The difference lies in the difference between 'heart' and 'blood'." Yun Gu said, "We believe that to grow in martial arts, one must first cultivate the heart, while German believes that to grow in martial arts, one must break through the limits in bloody fights."

"Oh... then, which style is stronger?" Zhixi blinked his ignorant big eyes.

"I can't say which is better, I can only say whether it is suitable. Zhixi, you and Xiaojie's personalities are more suitable for the "Heart Source Flow", while Kurapika and Killua are obviously more suitable for the "Blood Source Flow." "

"However, whether it is the 'heart-orientated stream' or the 'blood-orientated stream', their starting points are similar, and they all end up in the same place."

After Yun Gu's explanation, Zhixi nodded as if he understood.

Then, after learning that Kurapika, Killua, and Gon were about to leave the Sky Arena together, Yun Gu came up to Killua and Gon and said:
"Congratulations! You have passed the final stage of the professional hunter exam. I hope you can create your own light on the path of professional hunters in the future."

"Then we will separate now."

Kurapika had mentioned the concept of the "final level" to Killua and Gon before.

Therefore, when Killua and Gon were taken to the Sky Arena by German and learned Nen under the guidance of Yun Gu, they already had some guesses in their minds.

When they heard Yun Gu confirm it in person, Killua and Gon were surprised and happy even though they had guessed it right.

Then came the sadness of leaving the Sky Arena and parting with Yun Gu and Zhi Xi.

However, all good things must come to an end.

After leaving the Sky Arena, their next stop was not Greed Island, but Gon's hometown - Whale Island.

Xiaojie couldn't wait to tell his favorite Aunt Mitte everything that happened during his journey from the professional hunter exam to the final trial in the Sky Arena.

And, of course, there’s news about Kim.

Kurapika and Killua were naturally happy to go back with him.

Kurapika is very interested in the place where the famous Jin lived in his childhood.

Killua simply wanted to go to Whale Island with Gon.

When they arrived at Whale Island, Jin's cousin Mite and Gon's great-grandmother welcomed Kurapika and Killua very warmly and made them feel at home as much as possible.

After all, Whale Island is too small and too remote, and Xiaojie has only one playmate of the same age as him, a little girl.

Now, Little Jay comes to visit with two friends, which makes Mitt and his great-grandmother very happy.

Making friends and traveling with friends, this is what Mitt and his great-grandmother wanted to see, instead of embarking on the path of a professional hunter that frightened them.

However, Xiaojie has already set out on the journey, and his two friends are also fellow travelers on this journey, so Mitt can't persuade them any more.

At the same time, she felt relieved when she saw the relatively calm Kurapika and Killua, thinking that with them by her side, Gon wouldn't get into any trouble.

Then, Xiaojie talked about many things that happened in the past six months.

Mitte, with her short orange-red hair, listened with great interest, but once the word "Kim" was mentioned, her face became long and she looked unhappy.

There was no way, she had a big prejudice against Jin, as evidenced by the fact that she was willing to risk remaining single for the rest of her life in order to take away the custody of Xiaojie from Jin.

Jin brought Xiaojie back to Whale Island to ask his great-grandmother to take care of Xiaojie.

Mitt, who was still very young at the time, took over the responsibility of raising Xiaojie and angrily scolded Jin, telling him not to come back.

She was just speaking in anger at the time. After all, she couldn't stop the father and son from reuniting. She didn't expect that Jin would never come back.

This made Mitt even more angry.

Mitt couldn't imagine what Xiaojie would be like now if he had grown up under Jin's care.

In the years that followed, she poured almost all of her love into Xiaojie, and was dismissive of all those suitors.

Mitt is not married and has no plans to get married.

It’s a pity that even though Xiaojie was allowed to grow up in an environment away from Jin, he eventually chose to follow in his father’s footsteps.

Mitt couldn't help but sigh at his fate.

Although she felt unhappy when Xiaojie mentioned Jin, she couldn't help but soften her heart in the end and handed over a box that Jin left here to Xiaojie.

Xiao Jie then realized that the clue about his father had been lying quietly just a few meters away from his bedroom.

However, he was not angry at Aunt Mitt's concealment.

He understood Aunt Mitt and had long regarded Aunt Mitt as his own mother.

Aunt Mitt was just afraid that Xiaojie would hurt him after knowing Jin's existence.

After all, her previous statement had always been that Xiaojie's parents died in an accident, rather than abandoning him.

Afterwards, Xiaojie poured his mental energy into the box to unlock the seal and obtained the three things that Jin left there - a ring, a cassette, and a magnetic tape.

Kurapika recognized the ring and cassette at a glance, they were the "admission tickets" to Greed Island.

After listening to Kurapika's explanation, Xiaojie finally understood what German meant.

"He said, 'Jack, if you really want to meet this unfit father of mine, come meet me somewhere'."

"If you want to know where 'that place' is, you need to learn the ability of Nen first, and then find a way to a place called 'Greed Island'."

"Look for it yourself. Jin should have left you enough clues."

It turns out that Jin did leave clues pointing to Greed Island.

Xiaojie was very excited, and it was only after Killua's reminder that he remembered to listen to the contents of the tape.

In the recorder, Xiaojie heard his father's voice for the first time.

What Jin said was similar to what German said, also asking Xiaojie to find him and catch him.

Afterwards, Jin mentioned Xiaojie's mother, but Xiaojie immediately pressed the stop button of the recorder.

He felt that it didn't matter who his biological mother was, Aunt Mitt was his mother.

The tape soon self-destructed under the influence of telekinesis. Now only Jin and a very few people know who Xiaojie's mother is.

Kurapika and Killua felt regretful when they looked at the destroyed tape, but Gon himself was very satisfied.

After that, they stayed on Whale Island for nearly a month.

Gon takes Kurapika and Killua to play on the island and meets his childhood playmates.

Kurapika could see that Gon's childhood playmate, a girl with orange twin tails, seemed to be interested in Gon.

However, neither Gon nor Killua noticed this emotion.

Plus, the girl with orange twin tails was very shy, so Kurapika didn't point it out.

Almost a month later, they left Whale Island and planned to try to reach Greedy Island.

Kurapika is definitely the one who knows best how to enter.

Kurapika grumbled to himself as he looked at Gon and Killua's expectant eyes.

I can go in directly, but there is a high probability that Greed Island will not let Gon and Killua pass.

Lei Zha would certainly expel them dutifully, even though one of them was Jin's son and the other was the teacher's caregiver.

In this case, we can only use the "normal" way of entry.

After Kurapika figured out the key points, he pointed at the ring and cassette that Jin left for Xiaojie and said, "These are the key."

"Gon already has a ring and a cartridge, and I have a ring as well. Now all we need is a special Greed Island console and Killua's ring."

Killua and Gon looked at each other, then asked in confusion, "Where are we going to gather the rest?"

Kurapika smiled and said, "I happen to know of a place that has both the Greed Island game console and extra rings."

"They are in a mansion by a lake. It's a mansion located in a forest on the Eurubian continent. My teacher took me there before. There should still be someone managing it now."

Killua and Gon immediately and happily decided to go.

That was why the three of them came together on this day in mid-June and arrived at the gate of the mansion that Biscuit had bought.

After returning from the Kakin Empire, Bisky and Kurapika did leave the Greed Island game console and several spare rings here.

This mansion base is even one of the several teleportation points from Greed Island that directly teleports personnel to the Ulubian continent.

The people who are currently living in this mansion and are responsible for entertaining them are, of course, the staff of Greedy Island.

They were sent here by Greed Island shortly after Kurapika, Gon, and Killua entered the Sky Arena, and were ready to serve them at any time.

Even though it wasn't explicitly stated, Germain, Duen and the others guessed what Kurapika, Gon and Killua would do next.

Now it is just as they expected.
