Chapter 154 of "The Strongest Assassin of the Zoldyck Family!" opens revealing: "Yes, sir." "You may leave now; I have nothing else for you to do. I need... Keep going!

"Yes, sir." "You may leave now; I have nothing else for you to do. I need to rest for a bit." Shinji exited the lounge. Ron entered the study next door. When Ron mentioned resting, he didn't mean sleep; instead, he leaned back in his chair, relaxed his body, and began to think. He had already reflected on his experiences over the past year. Now, Ron was contemplating the high-level Nen techniques that Mahha Zoldyck had mentioned. "The difficulty of 'In' isn't very high. In fact, I've already experimented with it before," he thought. "Returning to the Zoldyck estate and learning directly from Great-Grandfather—I should pick it up quickly." "It mainly boils down to two points." "One is refining the technique of 'Ten'; the other is controlling the aura nodes." "In the state of 'Ten', all aura nodes are open." "In 'Zetsu', all aura nodes are closed." "But 'In' involves opening some aura nodes while closing others." Ron raised a hand, using his mind to control his aura. As he concentrated, he continued to ponder. "As for the technique 'Shu', in the original story, Biscuit taught Gon and Killua how to use it on Greed Island by having them wield shovels." "By applying 'Shu' to the shovel, they could excavate the rocky mountains." "The difference between using 'Shu' and not using it is like night and day." "Generally, those who fight with ordinary weapons frequently use 'Shu'." "But for me right now, there aren't many scenarios where I'd use 'Shu'." "I'm not using ordinary weapons; I'm using Nen tools." "Killer Queen's abilities involve some weapons and tools, but there's no requirement for their durability—anything will do." "If my learning progress is slow, I can postpone studying 'Shu'." "But the technique 'En' is very important to me." Ron agreed with what Mahha Zoldyck had mentioned. He truly needed to enhance his own physical strength. At first, when Ron only had Killer Queen as his Nen beast, his aura was split in two; the combined combat abilities of Ron and Killer Queen were almost equal. Killer Queen had decent speed and strength and possessed a special bomb ability. But Ron also had numerous Zoldyck assassination techniques—skills like Shadow Step, Limb Flexibility, and Serpent Movement. However, as Ron's Nen beasts increased—he now had four—this meant that to maximize his strength, he needed to split his aura into five parts. Even so, Ron's own aura was still considerable. This was his advantage; his aura volume far exceeded that of Nen users of the same level. The strength of Ron's own body compared to one Nen beast wasn't vastly different. But compared to four Nen beasts, his own strength was significantly less. Therefore, if enemies knew about Ron's abilities, they would surely focus all their efforts on attacking his main body. Ron had to enhance his self-preservation ability. "Currently, I possess the Zoldyck family's assassination techniques." "Second is the Rotten Life Blade." "Third is the combat skills learned from Hanma Baki." "But it's still not enough." "I need to make my own body's strength even greater." As a Nen user of the Nen beast style, Ron's idea was this: His own body's strength would surpass any one of his Nen beasts but be weaker than the combined strength of multiple Nen beasts. "This scenario is the best." "That way, I'm not completely inverting the essence of the Nen beast style—not wasting my 'Observer's Extreme' ability." "And I have sufficient self-preservation capabilities." "Even if I can't match others in frontal combat strength, I must at least ensure my self-preservation abilities." "And for that, I need more Nen techniques." "'En' is particularly important!" "In the original story, 'En' is a very significant ability." "A competent 'En' mainly has two aspects." "One is range." "The other is sensitivity." "You can't have both." "Those who can are top-tier powerhouses." "Nobunaga from the Phantom Troupe loves to use 'En' in conjunction with his Iaido." "A four-meter diameter 'En'." "According to Nobunaga himself, as long as anything enters this range, he can immediately cut it down—no matter what it is." "Nobunaga's 'En' emphasizes sensitivity over range." "Besides Nobunaga, other Nen users have demonstrated excellent 'En'." "Kite's 'En' reached a diameter of 45 meters." "Zeno's 'En' extended over 300 meters." "As for Neferpitou's 'En', it spanned several kilometres." "For these individuals, the sensitivity of their 'En' wasn't mentioned; the emphasis was more on range." "But we can make a simple comparison." "Additionally, Nobunaga once said that a Nen user who can maintain an 'En' with a diameter of 50 meters is a top-level master." "'En' has two functions." "One is to detect enemies—like when Grandpa Zeno searched for Chrollo inside the building in the original story." "The other is defence." "What I need more is the latter." "Therefore, compared to range, I need sensitivity more." "Once I learn 'En', I can focus on this aspect." "As for detection, I have other methods." "Next is 'Ken'." "'Ken' is actually easy to understand. In gaming terms, it's like going berserk or activating a buff—using more aura in a short time at the cost of becoming weak afterwards." "Just continuously strengthen 'Ten' and 'Ren'." "For me, this isn't difficult." "Because as a Nen beast user, I've experienced significant aura consumption and recovery many times in the process of creating and dismissing Nen beasts." "This is very helpful for learning 'Ken'." "'Ko' can be left for last." "For Nen users, using 'Ko' often means they've reached their limit; when they need to fight desperately—if they win, they survive; if they lose, they die." "But I want to avoid such situations as much as possible." "As an assassin, I need to stay alive to kill others." "However, I must learn this technique as well." "It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it." Ron reflected. "After mastering advanced Nen techniques, my own strength will improve significantly." "'En' can be used for defence." "'In' can confuse opponents." "'Ken' can provide bursts of power." "'Ko' can be used in life-or-death situations." "Combined with the Zoldyck assassination techniques and Hanma Baki's combat skills." "And the Rotten Life Blade." "Among those of the same level..." Ron pondered for a moment, various figures flashing through his mind. He simulated battles in his mind, comparing himself with other Nen users. "Even using only one-fifth of my aura, I won't be too weak. Opponents like the Seven Deadly Sins wouldn't be a match for me." "However, in the C-rank, I wouldn't be among the top." "More likely, just at an average level." "Actually, this is already quite strong." "After all, this is with me excluding my four Nen beasts." "It's just that my expectations for myself are much higher than other Nen users." "In what other ways can I enhance my own strength?" "More combat techniques?" "Or physical enhancement?" Ron thought of certain individuals. "It seems my own body can indeed follow the Shingen-ryu path." "Tsubone's ability is to materialize various vehicles, which isn't helpful in combat and is entirely supportive. Therefore, Tsubone relies on physical strength in battles." "Biscuit's ability is a Nen beast that can aid in training but has no actual combat ability, so Biscuit's combat also relies on physical strength." "As for Nen beasts, they are automatic types; their abilities are fixed the moment they appear." "Therefore, I don't need to spend time training them." "Most of my time can be devoted to honing my own body." ----------------------- You can read up to 120 Advanced chapters! Patreon(.)com/IDKjust You can also read the bleach one there (free)
