"Well then, I can now determine my next direction." "There are two main paths." "One is to continue creating more Nen beasts..." "The other is to practice the Shingen-ryu style." "Accordingly, I can slow down the progress of creating Nen beasts a bit; there's no need to rush." A person's energy is limited. Doing more in one area inevitably affects another. It's like how Hisoka was disappointed in Kastro in the original story. After Kastro developed an unsuitable Nen ability, Hisoka immediately lost interest. He didn't even give Kastro a chance to develop a new, suitable ability. Instead, he killed Kastro outright. That's because, in Hisoka's view, Kastro, who developed the wrong ability, was already tainted—no longer pure. Even if he developed a suitable ability later, his growth would be limited. He could no longer meet Hisoka's expectations. However, Ron's choice is the most suitable for himself. If he concentrates all his energy on Nen beasts, his own strength will lag too far behind. Such growth would be distorted and unreasonable. What Ron wants is balance. After dinner, Ron returned to his room to rest early. That night, Ron slept deeply. When he was outside, Ron didn't dare to let his guard down. Even at the Heavens Arena, he remained vigilant, sometimes even having his Nen beasts keep watch at night. Nen beasts aren't Ron himself, but they do consume his aura. This consumption is not insignificant for Ron. But at the Zoldyck Estate, Ron doesn't need to worry about these things at all. If there's any place on the human continent that's safest for Ron right now, it would only be the Zoldyck Estate—nowhere else. The next day. At dawn. After a simple breakfast, Ron headed to Maha Zoldyck's courtyard. Keane stood at the door. "Young Master Ron." Keane looked at Ron with somewhat complex feelings. A year ago, Ron was no match for Keane at all. But now, Keane couldn't gauge Ron's strength anymore. However, Keane didn't feel any jealousy—he was more pleased. He already saw himself as part of the Zoldyck Estate. The stronger the Zoldycks become, the happier Keane is. Keane opened the door. Ron walked in. Maha Zoldyck sat cross-legged on a stone slab. "Let's begin." --- Ten days later. Ron had already grasped some aspects of the technique of In. He also gained a good understanding of Ken. Therefore, Ron focused most of his energy on En. In the courtyard. Maha Zoldyck was absent. Keane stood guard at the door. Ron sat on the ground with his eyes closed. "Ten!" "Ren!" A large amount of aura surged from Ron's body. His pores were like switches. The aura within Ron's body flowed like water. "Aura itself exists in a gaseous state." "Because of Ten, this gaseous aura is transformed into something like flowing water, wrapping around the body." "And En is about relaxing the force of Ten." "The form of aura can change freely." "Ten is essentially weaving a net to bind the aura within." "Basic Ten is like weaving a tight-fitting net. Because it's close enough to the body, it takes the shape of the body. The aura is wrapped, so it naturally conforms." "En, on the other hand, turns this net into a spherical shape." "When the net expands, the aura automatically fills the entire net." "This is En." Gradually, Ron's aura slowly distanced itself from his body. Bit by bit, it expanded outward. Until it formed a sphere. Centered on Ron. With a diameter of just over one meter. The sphere's diameter matched Ron's height. But this was just the beginning. Learning En is akin to flipping a switch. Once turned on, what follows becomes much easier. Ron opened his eyes. "En!" In the next moment, Ron's En rapidly expanded, and the diameter kept increasing. "I remember in the original story when Neferpitou first activated En, the diameter reached over a thousand meters." "Later, after further development, she even gained the ability to change its shape." Finally, Ron's En stopped expanding. "Diameter: ten meters." "However, this is with me diverting four-fifths of my aura elsewhere." In the next moment, Ron had a thought. All the aura was retracted. Ron's En expanded again. And this time, the speed was much faster than before. It didn't stop until it reached nearly fifty meters. "Diameter: forty-nine meters!" Ron nodded. "Not bad. Having just learned Nen and only at a C-level Nen user, I've reached forty-nine meters." "Even when channelling a large amount of aura into Nen beasts, my En can still maintain a diameter of ten meters." "For me right now, that's sufficient." "If it's not enough, I'll reduce the number of Nen beasts—won't use four simultaneously." "Actually, the diameter isn't the main point." "The key is sensitivity." "That will be my main focus for improvement." Ron retracted his En. "Self-preservation can be approached from two aspects." "First is my own strength." "I've already planned for this: following the path of Shingen-ryu, training my body, cultivating my mind, continuously honing Nen techniques, and integrating martial arts." "This will take a lot of time." "But if I persist, the returns will be substantial." "The second aspect can actually stem from Nen beasts." "It would be great to have protective or passive-type Nen beasts." Some Nen abilities are quite special. They don't require active use; they can be triggered passively at the moment of attack. Because they're activated by aura itself, they often respond faster than human reflexes. "I wonder when I'll have such a Nen beast." Ron had now grasped En, Ken, and In—these three Nen techniques. Next, he was going to learn Shu. Ron went to the warehouse. There were all kinds of weapons here. Blades, guns, swords, staffs... A wide variety. Maha Zoldyck stood beside Ron and said, "Ron, right now, Shu might not seem very important to you, but at critical moments, it's still very useful." "Especially in utilizing the environment." "Enhancing weapons is just a minor aspect of it." "Given your high aura capacity, you'll have many advantages in using Shu compared to others." "For example, you can extend Shu's target beyond just weapons and tools." As he spoke, Maha Zoldyck extended his hand and placed it on the nearby wall. In the next moment. A large amount of aura surged from Maha Zoldyck, covering the entire wall. Ron's eyes lit up slightly. Inspired by this, he thought of many ways to use it and nodded. "I understand, Great-Grandfather. I'll also diligently practice the technique of Shu." "Hmm, Keep practising." ---
