This egg was special. It enhances different aspects, but unlike the rarer multi colored egg, which offers enhancements across seven dimensions, the red egg focuses on just one. That aspect is explosive power. Lena watched with curiosity. Ron glanced at the kitchen area. The luxurious suite provided by the Sky Arena included a kitchen, though few ever used it. Ron certainly wouldn't. It had remained untouched. "There aren't any large cooking utensils," he noted. "Then we'll have to try this method" Cooking, in simple terms, involves breaking down the food's original structure. This can be achieved through temperature or other methods. Ron recalled a technique from a Nen ability—using Nen to disrupt the food's structure. "Concentrate!" With that thought, a large amount of Nen gathered in Ron's hands. He positioned his hands on either side of the red egg. Instantly, Ron's Nen enveloped the entire red egg. Before long, a wave of steam seemed to rise around it. Ron could distinctly feel the vibrations of the liquid within the red egg. "This..." "The difficulty is quite high." "To maintain this state, I have to focus all my mental energy." Ron's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, this actually serves as a very effective way to train my Nen control." "It's convenient and practical." He was pleasantly surprised. This was just a casual attempt, and he hadn't expected such a reward. Feeling the Nen emanating from Ron, Lena instinctively took a small step back. The aura of a Nen user exerts a natural suppressive force on ordinary people. Even though Lena wasn't exactly ordinary—having transformed into a synthetic beast-like state under Kyler's ability—she still felt the difference. Ron's strength was overwhelming compared to Kyler's. "Crack!" A sound of cracking echoed through the room. Ron quickly stopped. He noticed a crack forming on the eggshell of the red egg. A fragrant aroma wafted out. In the next moment, the color of the red egg's shell completely faded. More precisely, it seemed to retract inward. The color was pulled back into the egg itself. Ron peeled away a piece of the eggshell. Inside, the egg revealed a delicate pink hue. It was visually appealing and aromatic. Without hesitation, Ron grabbed a spoon from the kitchen and took a bite. The texture was pleasantly chewy. As he swallowed, Ron could distinctly feel a surge of heat spreading throughout his body. "Not bad." He noticed the changes in his body. Given Ron's robust physical constitution, the effects weren't immediately obvious. Still, he felt satisfied. Ryu had treated the red egg as a mere decorative item. Ron, however, had no such luxury. Soon, he finished the entire red egg. As a Nen user, he possessed an impressive stomach capacity, able to consume far more than an ordinary person. His digestive abilities had already evolved significantly. Lena gazed longingly at the red egg. But Ron didn't offer her even a single bite. He wasn't sure how it might affect her condition. If consuming something impacted her Nen removal later, it would be a setback. Two days later, Julianna's floor master challenge officially commenced. Ron arrived at the audience seating early. The host was introducing the two contestants, and soon, the venue was filled to capacity. This was the floor master challenge. To be frank, in a year at the Sky Arena, such challenges were rare. Obtaining the qualification to compete was no small feat. A one-eyed middle-aged man stepped forward to face Julianna. "Concentrate!" Ron activated his Nen ability to observe the states of the two fighters. At that moment— "Start!" With the referee's call, both contestants moved simultaneously. Julianna charged toward the one-eyed man. Their exchange happened in the blink of an eye. "Push!" It was a simple shove. "Boom!" Julianna was sent flying back faster than she had charged. With a single blow, she was propelled outside the ring. "The winner..." The venue fell silent, stunned by the outcome. "What just happened?" "Is the gap really that wide?" "Even though Julianna is the challenger, she has won numerous matches before." "She was defeated in one hit." "That's unbelievable." Ron's gaze flickered. Truthfully, the gap between Julianna and the one-eyed man wasn't enormous, but it was significant. Using the evaluation standards provided by Silva, Julianna had surpassed E rank and entered D rank. However, within D rank, she was among the weaker competitors. In contrast, the one-eyed man had surpassed D rank and reached C rank. Since the one-eyed man had revealed little of his abilities, Ron couldn't make a precise judgment. "He's likely a fair bit weaker than Hisoka and Chrollo." "I wonder how this person ranks among the floor masters." Ron exited the venue, following the crowd. As he entered the corridor, he encountered someone approaching him. It was the one-eyed middle-aged man who had just defeated Julianna in the ring. "Ron." Ron frowned slightly. "Don't worry, I mean you no harm." The one-eyed man smiled. "I just wanted to introduce myself. My disciple has been in your care." "Let me introduce myself: I am Mitsuda Doku." "I'm the floor master of the 236th floor of the Sky Arena." "My disciple fought against you on the 199th floor." Ron recalled. "Yagyu Jiro?" "Exactly." Mitsuda Doku nodded. "My disciple has a high opinion of himself and is used to things going his way." "It wasn't until he faced you that he realized there are greater heights and stronger opponents." "After losing to you, he returned to the dojo with a renewed sense of purpose to train seriously." "He finally set out on the right path." "For this, I am very grateful to you." Ron hadn't expected that Yagyu Jiro had a floor master as a mentor. He couldn't help but ponder: What if he hadn't won that match, and it had been Yagyu Jiro who emerged victorious?
