Chapter 24: 24
Late at night!
"I really hit the jackpot this time!" Ethan Wells, walking through the corridor, felt elated knowing that many of the spiritual quandaries that had previously troubled him were now resolved.
After discussing the [Hundred Styles Guanyin] with Netero, Ethan didn't stop there. He shamelessly continued seeking advice on various aspects of practice.
It turns out being persistent pays off.
With Netero's vast knowledge and experience, even a small hint can be immensely beneficial.
In terms of Nen, Ethan's background is self-taught.
He either learned by observing battles with other Nen users or relied on his understanding from the original story.
While his growth rate wasn't slow, it certainly wasn't smooth.
From Netero's immediate advice, Ethan not only avoided many future pitfalls but also found the potential to leap ahead.
Reflecting on the difference guidance makes, Ethan moved on to another matter.
After walking a bit further, Ethan turned a corner and quickly found an unoccupied room to enter.
He hadn't forgotten about the reward. With his practice questions resolved, it was time to claim it.
After checking the room and ensuring there were no issues, Ethan summoned the [Light Spirit Fruit] from the system.
Uh-huh!
A fruit the size of a strawberry appeared in his hand. Like the Blood Bodhi, nothing seemed out of the ordinary from the outside. Without hesitation, Ethan tossed it into his mouth and consumed it.
Boom!
As the fruit entered his stomach, its energy quickly dissolved, spreading through his limbs and bones, nourishing his body in a mysterious way.
If the Blood Bodhi's energy was fiery, then the Light Spirit Fruit felt as cool as moonlight, like plunging into a refreshing stream in the heat of summer, causing an involuntary shiver.
The cold energy lasted over a minute. When it subsided, Ethan felt the changes in his body.
His body felt as if, after a long period of weight training, the weights were suddenly removed, leaving him feeling light and relaxed.
Unable to resist, Ethan tested it out. He gently pushed off with his feet, and his body soared toward the ceiling several meters high.
However, Ethan didn't panic. He reacted quickly, and with extreme agility, he somersaulted, planting both feet on the ceiling before springing toward a wall.
Swish, swish, swish! ! !
The room echoed with a continuous sound of slicing through the air, as afterimages darted back and forth to every corner.
Despite the room's limited space, where a single mistake could be costly, Ethan moved with astonishing speed, his movements flexible and smooth.
After a while, Ethan stopped mid-motion and landed back in his original spot with a graceful flip.
"It's an incredible feeling. Though my body hasn't changed, it feels so much lighter. The 'Light Spirit Fruit'... such a treasure is simply amazing!" Ethan marveled.
Even with the system's introduction, experiencing the Light Spirit Fruit firsthand exceeded Ethan's expectations.
From the test, his body's agility and speed improved by at least 20 to 30%.
With enhanced agility and speed, his strength undoubtedly took another significant leap forward.
"Hisoka...!" Ethan suddenly smiled.
He eagerly anticipated a battle with Hisoka. Even if Hisoka's strength wasn't among the top Nen users, it wouldn't be far off.
Facing such a master provides invaluable training and a better understanding of his own level.
.....
When Ethan returned to the room, Shiba was already asleep. Since he'd sweated a lot again, he took another shower and rested comfortably.
A night of silence.
The next day.
As the sun rose, the airship carrying the candidates arrived at its destination.
What greeted the candidates was a towering pillar-like building, and the airship landed atop this structure, which was as flat as a ring.
"Is this the location of the third exam? I wonder what the exam content will be?"
"After a night's rest, I'm back to full health. Whatever the next exam entails, it won't be too challenging for me!"
"This is already the third test. Based on past practices, there should only be one or two exams left. This time I'll definitely earn the Hunter license!"
The candidates, filled with curiosity, vigilance, or enthusiasm, looked around the building's top as they disembarked the airship.
"A ball-grabbing game against President Netero sounds interesting. You're impressive for winning!"
"It wasn't too difficult, mainly because he only used one hand and one foot. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to succeed."
Ethan and Shiba were among the candidates stepping off, quietly conversing.
That morning, Shiba had asked Ethan about the previous night's events. Ethan didn't hide anything and gave a brief account.
Though it was a game, Shiba, informed about Netero's reputation by Ethan, was quite surprised Ethan had won.
"Ding dong~! Trigger the side achievement [Fastest in the Trap Tower]. In the next exam, reach the bottom of the Trap Tower first to receive generous rewards!"
Ethan, having just stepped onto the Trap Tower's top and about to continue speaking with Shiba, paused as a system prompt echoed in his mind.
"Dear candidates, this is the Trap Tower, the location of the third exam. The exam's goal is to reach the ground from the top of the tower within 72 hours..."
Before Ethan could delve into the achievement details, Netero's secretary, Beans, acting as the exam commentator, stood at the airship's exit, loudly explaining the exam content to the assembled candidates.
