Razor was one of the most representative figures among them. A single person who could make so many members of the Phantom Troupe wary. If Ron hadn't developed the ability "Essence of the Observer," he might have considered using Razor as a template on how to develop his abilities. Compared to Ging Freecss, Razor was indeed weaker. However, this didn't mean Razor was truly weak. Compared to most Nen users, Razor could be considered a strong fighter. This was evident from Ging Freecss's attitude toward Razor. Greed Island existed in the real world. There was the possibility of powerful external invaders appearing. And among the players inside, there were also capable Nen users. As the GM, naturally one must have the ability to control the situation. If a GM in a game could be easily killed by a few players, then being a GM loses its meaning. In the game's design, the GM should be an existence even stronger than the boss. Moreover, besides being the GM, Razor also played the role of the game's final boss. "Razor follows the Nen Beast path, but only as a part-time focus." "Most of his energy was spent on physical enhancement and Nen bullets." Ron couldn't help but think of Hisoka again. "Hisoka seems to have little interest in people who follow a pure physical enhancement path." "Whether it was Uvogin of the Phantom Troupe, Razor, or even Biscuit." "He was interested in Gon mainly because of Gon's talent." "He was also interested in Netero but gave up after realizing the huge gap between them." "To be precise, Hisoka prefers that sense of surprise." "Watching a talented young person grow and then fighting them, experiencing that freshness, gives Hisoka spiritual satisfaction." "Toward Kastro, Gon, and Killua, Hisoka holds such thoughts." "The second type is when both sides have similar strength. During the battle, relying on on-the-spot reactions, strategic exchanges, thrilling reversals—these unknowns before the fight can also bring surprises." "That's how it is with Chrollo and Illumi." "In summary, it's about anticipation." "Because with anticipation, there can be surprises." "As for those straightforward fighters, where at a glance you know how they will fight—you punch me, I punch you..." "In Hisoka's view, such battles are too boring." "There are no surprises to speak of." "Therefore, Hisoka isn't interested in such people." Ron flicked his wrist. A piece of floor tile flew out. "Bang!" It accurately hit Occam. "It's about time to end this." Ron had slightly tested En, In, and Shu. He didn't need to test Ken, which was a state-type ability that Ron could grasp during practice. As for Ko, Occam was too weak; testing it wouldn't yield any results. "Whoosh!" A piece of floor tile struck Occam's calf. Occam was already in a very poor state. During the previous chase, Occam had consumed a lot of aura and stamina. When Ron was testing Shu, Occam was hit in multiple places again. At this point, Occam had reached his limit. "Bang!" Occam's figure wavered and he fell heavily to the ground. "The winner... Ron!" The referee immediately announced the result. Ron turned and walked toward the exit passage. The audience became lively, cheering and discussing. Those who had placed bets were especially animated—the winners were overjoyed, while the losers cursed loudly. But they weren't cursing Ron; they were cursing Occam. "This trash, useless! Wasted my money again!" In front of some live broadcast screens, people's eyes flickered. "In, Shu, En—judging from this, he should have also mastered Ken." "To have mastered these advanced Nen techniques at his age is truly remarkable." "The positions of Floor Masters in the Sky Arena are about to change." Those who saw and understood this battle could see the potential in Ron. This was much stronger than Juliana. Ron had just walked out of the passage. A figure was waiting at the door. "Ron." "Juliana?" "Let's schedule a match." Juliana looked at Ron and said, "I watched your match just now. You're strong—among the competitors on the 200th floor, you rank among the top." "The other competitors are too weak." "There's no point in fighting them." "Our goal is to become Floor Masters." "Only by battling strong opponents can we improve." Ron didn't immediately agree. "I'll apply for a match in three months. If you're willing to wait until then, let's apply together." Ron wasn't pursuing the position of Floor Master. However, as an opponent, Juliana wasn't bad. The stronger the opponent, the better Ron could test the advanced Nen techniques he had mastered. "Alright, it's settled then!" Juliana's eyes lit up. "Big Brother." "Captain." "Captain." Nina and the other two jogged over, visibly excited. They had known all along that Ron would win. Nina and her friends were well aware of Ron's strength. Even Sally was no match for him at all. In Sally's assessment, Occam wasn't even her match. What excited the three was the way Ron won. He didn't use any specific Nen abilities. He simply used combat techniques and Nen fundamentals. He completely toyed with Occam. This gave the three a clearer understanding of the Nen techniques they were learning. A figure walked toward them. A sturdy, tall man with a bald head and one eye. "Master Doppo." "Ron, congratulations." Ron smiled. "Is there something you need, Master Doppo?" "Actually, I'm here at the behest of others to invite you." "An invitation?" "That's right." Doppo nodded. "There are a total of twenty-one Floor Masters in the Sky Arena. The positions change every year, but the changes aren't significant, so over time, we've become familiar with each other." "Generally, we can be divided into three categories." "One type is those who train alone, advancing toward the position of Tower Master." "One type has stopped progressing and started enjoying life." "And another type progresses through mutual sparring." "Currently, there are six small groups formed around Floor Masters." "These groups, besides the Floor Masters, also invite some talented individuals to join." "And I am a member of one such group called TST." "TST has four Floor Masters." "We all advocate a path that focuses on martial arts with Nen abilities as support." "Ron, how about it? Are you interested in joining?" Ron's eyebrows lifted slightly. The philosophy Doppo spoke of was attractive to Ron. Regarding Nen Beasts, apart from absorbing traits, he didn't need to worry about them. Ron didn't need to train them or consider their battle methods. Because when these Nen Beasts were created, they already had those aspects. The settings from Ron's memories were much better than anything he could come up with on the spot. Therefore, Ron could focus most of his energy on improving his own body. ----------------------- You can read up to 120 Advanced chapters! Patreon(.)com/IDKjust
