Chapter 231 Then, Let Me Teach You!

Rhythm Echo is a footwork technique that utilizes changes in pace and rhythm while moving to create afterimages to confuse the opponents.

This is a must-learn technique for the members of the Zoldyck Family.

More accurately, it is one of the techniques every assassins excel in.

It's not just the Zoldyck Family; other assassin families around the world also have similar footwork inheritances.

Killua, of course, knows Rhythm Echo too, but he's not proficient in it.

Seeing Moses suddenly using Rhythm Echo, Killua's face instantly showed an incredulous expression.

'Why does Moses also know Rhythm Echo…'

Killua's mouth hung open as he stared in astonishment at the battle on the ring.

At this moment, the whip shadow in the sky intertwined by Neil finally hit Moses.

With a dull sound, Moses, struck by the whip, stood still in place.

The force transmitted by the whip caused his body to lean to the left.

At the same time, after hitting the target, the countless whip shadows dissipated.

"Are…"

The whip struck so suddenly that Neil was startled. He subconsciously wanted to ask Moses if he was injured, but his words were cut short.

'I am so arrogant that I think I can injure a master with just one whip!'

'Utterly foolish!'

Neil reacted in time and quickly reviewed himself in his mind. He quickly retracted his whip, gathered strength, and once again swung the whip towards Moses.

Since he already knew what Moses wanted, he naturally had to do his best to cooperate and thus demonstrate his own value.

This is all to get precious teachings from Moses!

The whip shadows once again attacked Moses.

'Very conscientious.'

Seeing that Neil acting like this, Moses smiled faintly and took the initiative to meet the whip coming at him, once again using a half-baked Rhythm Echo.

In an instant—

On the ring, afterimages intertwined, and energy surged.

The frequency of Moses being struck by the whip increased, but the distance he traversed among the whip shadows also began to increase.

He's no longer simply evading passively, but was also shortening the distance to put pressure on Neil.

A brief ten-minute exchange of offense and defense.

Moses's progress was visible to the naked eye, and his use of Rhythm Echo was no longer as clumsy as it was at the beginning.

This is the point of sparring, and Neil can be said to have perfectly demonstrated his own value.

A few more minutes passed.

Moses's figure moved through the increasingly weak whip strikes like a ghost.

At the last moment when the distance shortened, Neil suddenly saw two real Moses, and the whip he swung struck one of them.

Snap!

However, the whip missed its target and hit the ground.

Dodging that final whip strike, Moses lifted a finger and pressed it against Neil's forehead.

This action was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing Neil, who was already panting heavily, to collapse to the ground.

"Master, I can't go on anymore…"

After collapsing on the ground, Neil simply lay back on the platform, his chest heaving like a bellows.

This ultra-high-intensity offensive and defensive battle not only drained all his strength, but also left him mentally exhausted.

It was the first time he had been exhausted to this extent because of a fight, and he felt that if he tried to hold on for another half minute, he might collapse on the spot.

"We'll continue in half an hour."

Moses glanced at Neil, who was lying exhausted on the ground.

'This guy's whip techniques are perfect for training, but unfortunately, the power of the whip is a bit weak, and it always feels like there's not enough pressure.'

"Moses, why how do you know Rhythm Echo..."

As the sparring session ended, Killua finally had the opportunity to ask the question that had been on his mind.

Moses came to the edge of the ring.

"The night before last, I saw Illumi use it, so I thought I'd try to imitate it, and then I just did it."

"Ah?!"

Killua was dumbfounded by these words.

Before coming to the Heavens Arena, he had been practicing Rhythm Echo for three months, but until now, he was only at a beginner's level at best.

Yet, Moses only saw Illumi used it once, and he learned the Rhythm Echo so easily.

Not only that, but he became even more proficient during this less than twenty-minute sparring session, and by the end, he even showed signs of surpassing him.

'So amazing... No wonder he could defeat Big Brother Illumi.'

After realizing Moses's terrifying talent, Killua's heart surged with waves of admiration, and the look in his eyes as he looked over carried a mix of admiration.

Next to him, Menchi noticed Killua's change in demeanor. She narrowed her eyes, subtly took a few steps and stood in front of Killua, then looked up at Moses standing at the edge of the ring.

"Master, what's that footwork called? Can you teach me?"

Menchi pretended to show great interest.

Moses rolled his eyes at her, shook his head and said, "I've just started learning it myself, what can I teach you?"

"It's okay, as long as it's taught by Master, I'm willing to learn anything!"

Menchi grinned.

Hearing this, Moses looked at Menchi with a slightly strange expression.

Killua looked at Menchi, who was blocking his path, and took a step to the left.

However, as if Menchi had eyes behind her back, she also took a step to the left, continuing to block the space between him and Moses.

"?"

Killua's eyes widened slowly, then he immediately took a step to the right.

But Menchi followed suit and took a step to the right after him.

'This face-changing woman...!'

Killua's brows furrowed involuntarily, feeling somewhat frustrated, and he was about to use Rhythm Echo to get around her.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, he slowly put it back down.

"…"

He tilted his head slightly, silently watching Menchi's much taller figure in front of him, feeling a strange mixture of emotions inside.

'So what if I go around her?'

'I can't act coquettishly to Moses, nor could I ask Moses for advice…'

'One day, I will leave Heavens Arena and return to Kukuroo Mountain.'

'And Moses and this face-changing girl would also leave Heavens Arena and go to places I didn't know.'

…

Half an hour later.

Neill had recovered almost completely.

"Menchi, you go."

Moses got off the ring and asked Menchi to experience Neil's value as a sparring partner.

"Uh-huh."

Menchi's eyes lit up, and she jumped onto the platform without hesitation.

After seeing Moses shuttle through the whip shadows earlier, she was eager to try it herself.

Seeing Menchi standing on the ring, Neil looked at Moses hesitantly.

When facing an expert, he could attack freely, but now that it was Menchi, he was unsure of how much force to use.

Moses nodded at Neill, indicating that he didn't need to hold back.

Seeing this, Neill didn't hold back either.

Snap!

With the sound of a whip, the training resumed.

And below the ring…

Moses came to Killua's side.

"Killua."

"Hmm?"

Killua, who was feeling somewhat despondent, raised his head and looked at Moses beside him.

Moses smiled and asked: "I just learned Rhythm Echo, and I'm not very proficient yet. Do you have any tips?"

"Yes!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Killua's eyes, and he said with a slightly cheerful tone, "My dad said not to lift your feet too high."

"Mmm."

Moses raised his hand to his chin, recalling the movements he used when using Rhythm Echo just now. Every time he raised his feet, he could not control his movements, 'Is it because of that that my movements felt stiff...'

"That tip is very useful for me. Thank you, Killua."

Moses smiled at Killua.

Killua couldn't help but smile back.

"Moses, besides Rhythm Echo, I can also do this!"

As he spoke, he cheerfully raised his right hand.

Then, under Moses's gaze, the tendons on his tender little hand suddenly grew, and his finger joints became sharp and long, resembling claws.

"Cool, right!"

Killua looked at Moses, like a child showing off a toy.

Moses raised his thumb and praised: "Cool."

"Then, let me teach you!"

"…"
