The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Netero expressed with interest, "It seems like you have a lot of confidence in the upcoming battle!"

"It's not necessary. If you lose confidence before the fight, what's the point of fighting? You might as well surrender directly." Feeling uncomfortable sitting, Bailang leaned back and lay directly on the deck.

"You're right!" Netero smiled and stroked his beard, then stopped talking and turned to look at the scenery outside.

Bailang followed suit and closed his eyes, seemingly falling asleep.

Time passed slowly.

Quietly, an hour had already passed.

The airship continued to move in one direction after leaving the hotel.

After flying for an hour, a beautiful valley appeared below.

"We're here!"

Almost as the airship "620" came to a stop, Netero, who had been observing the scenery, suddenly spoke.

Swish!

Bailang, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and stood up from the deck.

Approaching Netero's side, Bailang placed his hands on the railing and leaned forward, looking down at the environment below the airship.

"Is this the battlefield you chose? It looks great!" Bailang raised an eyebrow as he saw the beautiful valley below the airship.

"This place used to be where I trained a long time ago," Netero said with some nostalgia.

Bailang turned to look at him upon hearing this.

"Don't tell me you created this valley below us."

"Haha... You found out. So if you're scared, you can still go back now."

"Scared? No, I'm just too excited. Only by fighting someone like you can I have more motivation to become stronger and improve!"

Bailang lightly jumped and landed on the railing, standing steadily on top of it. He looked back at Netero, then smiled brightly and took a step forward.

Swoosh!

He fell from the airship.

After four or five seconds of falling from a height of hundreds of meters, Bailang landed in the valley below.

The valley was lush with greenery, filled with flourishing trees, like a secluded paradise, peaceful and serene.

However, when Bailang arrived, this tranquility and serenity were undoubtedly shattered.

Boom!

As Bailang landed on the ground, the powerful impact immediately shattered the earth beneath his feet, creating a large crater several meters wide. At the same time, the swirling dust swept up, causing leaves to dance in the nearby trees.

Swoosh! Boom!

Almost immediately after.

Just as Bailang landed on his side, on the opposite side, another figure quickly descended, shattering the ground in the same way.

"You're full of enthusiasm, Chairman!" Bailang looked over and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the figure revealed after the dust settled.

The figure was naturally Netero.

However, he looked different from when he was on the airship.

After Bailang had descended first, Netero took off his outer robe and revealed his lightweight attire underneath.

He wore a short-sleeved shirt with a 'heart' symbol on the chest, and a pair of blue shark pants.

Hmm... except for the wooden clogs on his feet that he hasn't taken off.

Netero's current attire is almost identical to his appearance during the battle with the Ant King in the original work.

"When it comes to combat, I never slack off!" Netero pressed his neck and started moving with a creaking sound.

Bailang's smile on his face grew even wider. "That's great. So when can we start?"

Netero looked up at the sky. As he had instructed, the ship would depart again after he landed and head towards a distant place.

"About three minutes. An old man like me needs to move around more!"

"Alright, let's wait another three minutes then!"

Seeing Netero's movements, Bailang also glanced at the ship flying towards the distance.

Although the people accompanying them on the ship were all staff members, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any spies.

He didn't mind waiting a little longer for Netero's cautious approach.

Three minutes passed in an instant, and at the same time, the ship completely disappeared into the distance.

In this time, the valley seemed to return to its initial tranquility and serenity.

No.

It should be even more peaceful than before, or even silent...

An invisible aura spread, making the air heavy and oppressive.

"Chairman, can we start now?" Bailang said softly.

Netero nodded with a smile on his face. "Anytime, come on!"

Boom!

With Netero's words, Bailang immediately erupted like a volcano, releasing an astonishing cold air from his body.

The surging aura caused the surrounding air to tremble and distort.

The ground beneath their feet also cracked and sank like ripples.

The Hunter exam that lasted for more than half a month.

During this time, it seemed that Bailang's training had decreased, but in reality, his aura, fueled by his "Natural Born Destroyer" physique, continued to increase dramatically.

At this moment, his latent aura had already surpassed the 9000 mark.

At the same time, as his mastery of "Nen" became more proficient, the ratio between his latent aura and manifested aura also continued to improve. Starting from the initial 12:1 ratio, it had now entered the range of 11:1.

In other words, the manifested aura that Bailang was currently unleashing was at least above 8000.

"Shadow Step!!"

Without any hesitation, Bailang immediately bent his knees and dashed out in the moment of using "Fortress". He turned into a blurry afterimage and charged towards Netero at a lightning-fast speed of 1.7 degrees.

Golden light shimmered, and a majestic figure made of golden materialized behind Netero in the void.

With half-opened eyes and two tear marks on his cheeks, it seemed as if he was grieving for the suffering of all living beings.

Countless arms extended from both sides of his body, as if he wanted to embrace the world.

This golden figure was none other than the "Hyakushiki Kannon" (Hundred-Type Guanyin)!

Bailang's burst of speed was extremely fast, enough to astonish ninety percent of the people in this world.

But in his own perception, his speed was too slow.

From the moment he rushed out, he felt as if he had fallen into a swamp of time.

This eerie sensation was precisely emanating from Netero.
