I'm in HxH, Survive for Five Years!

"It doesn't seem difficult to master this ability. As long as you have sufficient control and physical strength, you can extend silk threads that are tough and sharp enough."

After cutting the wall, the extending thread disappeared from Ethan Wells' mind. After a small test, Ethan murmured to himself.

Perhaps due to the system's improvements, or because he had a good compatibility with the Thread Fruit, Ethan felt no difficulty or obscurity in using this ability. It felt as natural as moving his fingers.

Of course, Ethan's current mastery of the Thread Fruit ability was only preliminary; further development was needed to tap its full potential.

Ethan also recalled Doflamingo's figure, as the other party's development of the Thread Fruit was a good reference for him.

"It's not too late to study development issues later. It's better to catch up with the team now, so as not to worry Lisa!"

After collecting his scattered thoughts, Ethan looked towards the tunnel where even the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard. He smiled slightly, leaned forward, and after a brief bend of his legs, burst out with amazing explosive power.

Amidst the sound of breaking through the air, Ethan's figure was like a vigorous cheetah, disappearing into the entrance area of the tunnel in an instant.

The process of accepting rewards didn't take long, less than five minutes in total.

Additionally, Satotz's speed was still gradually increasing, so when Ethan set off, the candidate team had only run a few kilometers.

During the rapid run, the super speed made the air roar continuously in his ears.

With Ethan's current physique, even when not running at full speed and moving along the tunnel, he saw the candidates in less than a moment.

"Aren't there any candidates left behind yet? But that's right. After all, those who reach the examination room are at least elites among ordinary people. It has just begun, so naturally, there is no shameful situation like falling behind."

As the candidate team appeared in his field of vision, Ethan slowed down and no longer sprinted but caught up with the candidate team at a leisurely speed, intending to find Lisa and join them.

As if they heard the footsteps coming from behind, some candidates running at the end of the queue subconsciously turned their heads and glanced back.

"There is actually someone behind. Didn't this guy follow the team before?"

"He doesn't look fatigued. It seems he's not catching up after falling behind."

"It's a new face. This guy should be taking the Hunter exam for the first time!"

Looking at Ethan catching up from behind, the candidates had their own thoughts, but most quickly retracted their gaze and focused on the exam.

As Ethan caught up, Satotz had already explained that the first test would now begin.

Smart people understood that the first test was likely to assess physical strength. Without knowing how far the destination was, they naturally wouldn't waste excess energy.

However, some people's eyes flickered after noticing Ethan, then they changed their positions and blocked his path.

Ethan naturally noticed this situation with keen awareness, but his expression remained unchanged. He maintained a calm demeanor and continued to approach along the forward route.

"Hey!"

"Get down!"

Just as Ethan was approaching the three candidates blocking his path, they suddenly turned around and attacked him with unruly and ferocious expressions.

One candidate aimed a punch at Ethan's face, another squatted down and tried to sweep Ethan's legs, and the third candidate kicked at Ethan's chest.

It was clear that these three candidates were working together to eliminate Ethan.

For many candidates, the Hunter exam not only involved passing the examiner's test but also competing against other candidates.

Since Satotz didn't prohibit attacking other candidates during the exam, naturally, many candidates attempted to eliminate others to increase their chances of passing.

"Boring behavior!"

Three attacks came in unison, blocking his upper, middle, and lower paths, but Ethan only felt boredom.

To him, they were too weak.

His hands moved like lightning.

His right hand grabbed the fist aimed at his face, and his left hand caught the leg kicking toward his chest.

With a simple twist, there was a sickening sound of bones cracking.

The candidate attacking from above had his right arm twisted and broken by the overwhelming force. The same was true for the candidate attacking from the middle; Ethan casually crushed the assailant's calf.

As for the candidate attacking from below, Ethan didn't even dodge. When the opponent's leg swept across Ethan's legs, it felt like kicking steel, resulting in the opponent's leg breaking from the impact.

"Ahhh!!!"

Three shrill screams erupted almost simultaneously, attracting many candidates who quickly turned to look.

Ignoring the candidate whose right leg was broken, Ethan tossed the two candidates he held aside like throwing away trash.

Thud! Thud!

A dull crash echoed in the tunnel.

The two candidates seemed to have been hit by a high-speed car. Not only were they flung into the tunnel walls, but they also caused spider-web-like cracks on the solid walls.

The violent impact shattered most of their bones, and the severe pain made them roll their eyes and faint.

"Are you kidding? What kind of power is this? He can throw two people and crack the wall?!"

"Damn it, is this guy a beast in human skin? How can he have such exaggerated power!"

"This man is definitely dangerous; we must stay away!"

Seeing Ethan throw away two candidates, many candidates looked back with wide eyes, including Kurapika, Leorio, and Gon.
