Chapter 266 Attention

The Nen that becomes stronger after death is also the lingering obsession of the Nen user themselves.

The wisp of black Aura formed after Atomu's death seemed like his final proof of existence in this world.

Where does the soul go after death? Is that wisp of black Aura Atomu's soul? Then, is it only Nen Users who have the privilege of leaving their souls behind in the world?

In the audience, Machi and the others suddenly stood up, but at that moment, Law suddenly stopped walking. He did not turn around, but simply raised his right hand and absorbed the black Aura flying toward him.

"Rest in peace."

Law muttered softly, then ignored the eager reporters nearby and walked straight toward the exit.

During the fight and shortly after it ended, Machi and the others had maintained their Gyo, so when they saw the wisp of black Aura, they instinctively stood up.

However, before they could do anything, they saw Law raise his hand and erase the black Aura.

Law absorbed the black Aura, but in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed as if he had wiped it out.

Seeing that Law was fine, Machi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Law left the venue alone, with countless spectators watching him go. However, the reporters ultimately failed to get an interview with him.

On the ruined ring, lay a rotten and withered corpse with its eyes wide open.

At this moment, Law became the Floor Master of the 230th floor and also obtained the right to participate in the Battle Olympia on August 8. Additionally, as a Floor Master, he would have to accept challenges from others and could also challenge other Floor Masters of the same level.

Among the many Floor Masters, whose average age was over twenty, Law is the youngest. Logically, this would make him a prime target for challengers. However, after this battle, those who earned the right to challenge would think twice before targeting him.

Seeing Law enter the passageway, Biscuit and the others also stood up and headed toward the exit.

…

Kukuroo Mountain.

Silva and Zeno switched the live broadcast on the screen to a recording, replaying the fight from the beginning.

Because Silva was unable to determine Law's Nen Type, Zeno became even more interested.

As the recording began to play, Zeno watched intently with a calm look in his eyes.

'Judging from the traces left by the disc-shaped and marble-sized Nen Bullets, they are undoubtedly powerful Emission-Type attacks.'

'The ability to manipulate stone slabs from a distance and the Nen Field that slowed down his opponent's punches were clearly Manipulation-Type Ability.'

The man named Atomu had a strong body and his Nen Mastery is also top-notch, but his arm was still cut off by a single slash. Considering the rusted state of the sword, it strongly resembled a proficient use of Enhancer's Shu.'

'Finally, the conjured book and the rusty sword were undeniably Conjuration-Type Abilities.'

'A Nen User can master abilities from five categories, but spreading their focus too thin often leads to mediocrity, with no significant strengths in any area.'

'What this young man showed in this battle was very much like the doctrine of the mean, but the abilities in every category were used was executed effectively, and considering his age, this in itself was an incredible thing.'

It's worth noting that the mastery rates for each Nen Category vary. Focusing on one's own category is the correct path, and devoting too much effort to other categories is counterproductive and a waste of energy.

"Father, do you have any conclusion?" Silva asked, looking at Zeno who was thinking.

He was well aware of his father's capabilities. With experience bordering on the supernatural, Zeno could often accurately determine an opponent's Nen Type and Abilities even during the warm-up phase of a fight.

"There is no definitive conclusion." Zeno shook his head slightly and said, "The abilities he used are all independent, with no common points between them. Personally, I lean toward him being a Conjurer, but..."

"What if his Nen is a combination of these abilities?"

Zeno, with his hands clasped behind his back, took a few steps forward and continued, "If this hypothesis is true, only a Specialist could explain it. Of course, this is just speculation, and I don't have a strong need for a definitive answer, so there's no need to force a conclusion."

"What I'm more concerned about is where he learned... Ancient Chinese."

Silva was silent for a moment, then asked, "Should we investigate this?"

Zeno looked at Silva and said calmly, "This has nothing to do with our commissions, but if you're curious, I won't stop you."

"Understood." Silva nodded.

"I've just taken on a tricky commission. Come with me, and we'll split the reward fifty-fifty." Zeno said. In fact, this was the reason he had come to find Silva in the first place.

Silva stood up from the couch and asked, "When do we leave?"

"As soon as possible." Zeno replied.

The Heavens Arena and Kukuroo Mountain were located on the same continent, and the distance between them is less than two days' flight.

Law could never have imagined that the two heavyweight figuresin the Zoldyck Family would actually pay attention to his two matches in the Heavens Arena.

Moreover, he had no idea that Zeno had recognized the Chinese characters for 'God Hand' and even pronounced them in Chinese. This showed that he did not simply recognize them, but knew how to use them.

If he had known, he might not have been too surprised.

After all, in the original work, when Geno went out on a mission, he would always wear a Chinese calligraphy scroll on his chest, such as: with phrases like 'Never Retire' or 'One Kill a Day'.

Moreover, the Emission-Type Ability used by Zeno, Dragon Head, took the form of a traditional Eastern dragon.

Not to mention, the Zoldyck Family even kept a live Eastern dragon at their estate.

As for what connection the Zoldyck family might have with Earth's Chinese culture, that remains unknown.

The key point here is that Law was unaware he was being watched, and this oversight could be blamed on Illumi. However, Illumi hadn't expected that even his grandfather would watch Law's matches. He thought that it would be impressive enough if his father took an interest.

While the Zoldyck Family primarily focused on their commissions, being watched by them was not necessarily a good thing.

Law's ignorance of this spared him a potential source of worry.

After all, Silva alone is much stronger than Atomu, not to mention Zeno. And above Zeno, there was still an old monster lurking in the shadows. Such was the Zoldyck Family… small in number but incredibly powerful individually.

Meanwhile, in the chairman's office of the Hunter Association, Beans stood in front of the desk, holding a note in his hand, with a look of despair on his face.

There were a lot of documents scattered around his feet. Judging from this, he must have been holding a pile of documents and came to the office to find Netero. However, he didn't find him and only found a note on the table.

After reading the note, he seemed to have been struck by a sudden blow, unconsciously releasing the documents in his hands and letting them scatter across the floor.

The note read: "I'm going out to play for a bit."

At the end of the message was a doodle of an old man giving a peace sign.

"Chairman…!"

Beans muttered with a mix of frustration and resignation.
