Chapter 37: Members of the Brigade?
Soon, the group went up to the 200th floor and found Kakashi and his group in Gon's room.
The group was visiting Xiao Jie, who was still lying in bed receiving treatment. It seemed that he was seriously injured, considering that Xiao Jie, as an Enhancer, was very resilient.
"Xiao Jie, how about we let Hinata try to treat you? Maybe you'll recover in half a month and be able to fight in the arena again," Eligi suggested.
If Tsunade were here, Gon might be able to stand up again in three or four days.
If it were Hinata now, it might take a little longer, as the Healing Palm Technique can restore the skeleton, muscles, and meridians.
The effect seems to be even better after being enhanced with mental energy, as if a certain part of a person enters a super "absolute" recovery zone.
The Palm Immortal Technique can cover the entire body of an injured person, or it can cover a specific part of the injured person, making it very flexible to use.
"No need, I've already made an agreement with Master Yun Gu that I won't use Nen during this month of recovery." After being beaten up, Xiao Jie seemed to have become obedient instantly.
Xiao Jie said he wouldn't use Nen for a month, and that meant he really wouldn't use Nen; his willpower was very strong.
Only those with unwavering will can unleash powerful Nen energy, since Nen energy cultivation is heavily reliant on willpower.
Therefore, those powerful Nen users are usually very obsessive.
Killua, noticing the solid aura emanating from Eligi, asked curiously, "Eligi, you guys seem to have been training a lot lately. What stage have you reached?"
When Gon heard Killua's question, he looked curiously at Erigi and his group, knowing that Erigi had started his training much earlier.
Eliji didn't hide anything and said directly, "I've completed the practice of the four basic techniques: 'Entanglement,' 'Absolute,' 'Refinement,' and 'Send,' and I'm currently practicing for advancement."
"Advancement training? What is that training?" Killua was like a curious cat, with a strong desire to explore the unknown.
"It's 'Zhou,' 'Ning,' and 'Yin.' You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. I'm not your teacher, so I won't explain it to you," said Ailiji.
Upon hearing those three words, Killua genuinely didn't understand their meaning and said with considerable displeasure, "Fine, don't tell me then. What's with the arrogance? All you did was give us some more time to practice."
After chatting in the room for a while, the group left, giving Xiao Jie time to recover quietly.
Meanwhile, Eligi also sought out Kakashi, wanting to see if he could find the scent of the writer by summoning ninja dogs to track the scent.
Kakashi can summon eight ninja dogs: Shiba, Bisko, Akino, Guruk, Urushi, Blu, and Pakkun.
They all possess outstanding comedic and tracking abilities. Among them, Pakkun is a ninja dog that is frequently summoned and is said to have the ability to track targets thousands of miles away.
Of course, Aligi thought it was a bit of an exaggeration; being able to track a target 100 kilometers away was already incredibly impressive.
"No problem, leave everything to Pakkun." With that, Kakashi quickly formed hand seals and finally pressed the ground to summon Pakkun.
Seeing this, Killua's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did they do that?"
"This involves the spatial power within 'Fa' (发), which is quite complicated to explain. You can ask Yun Gu if you have time," Eligi said haphazardly.
However, Eligi wasn't just making things up. Of the six types of "emission"—Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Specialization, Manipulation, and Emission—the Conjuration and Emission types do indeed involve spatial teleportation.
They can also teleport over extremely long distances. There really are such talents in the Hunter world, but they are quite rare.
"Tch! Stingy!" Killua retorted.
"Kakashi, what do you want from me? Hmm! This place is really strange." Puck said after sniffing the surroundings.
When Killua saw that a dog could actually talk, his eyes widened again. He wanted to learn that too. What should he do?
"Kakashi, is this your son?" Pakku asked, looking at Killua's white hair.
Kakashi seemed somewhat speechless after hearing this, so he explained, "He's just a disciple who needs to be trained for a while. By the way, could you please check where the person who wrote this paper is?"
"Alright! So you called me out to work." Parker immediately put on a distressed face, but still sniffed the air before finally saying, "There are many scents up there, which one are you looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's gaze involuntarily shifted to Erigi, who stroked his chin and said, "Find the person who wrote this letter. By the way, do you understand what I mean?"
"I'm not a stupid dog, you don't need to explain it to me again." Parker gave Eligi a disdainful look, then sniffed around before leading the way.
The group followed Parker, wandering around the Sky Arena before finally finding a man who had been dead for an unknown period of time in a grove of trees.
"Amazing! You even managed to find this!" Killua's eyes shone with excitement, and he was already planning how to learn this technique himself; it was just too useful.
Eliji stepped forward and examined the body, discovering many tiny, fine cracks under the skin, most noticeable on the wrists and fingers.
"Hmm! Is this someone using strings to control others to write things down? That's quite cautious. This ability feels a bit like the String-String Fruit. I have a feeling I should know this person." Eligi scratched his head, unable to recall some memories.
After examining the body, Kakashi said, "He was a master, killed in one blow! If he was a pursuer, you might need to be careful."
"Who is it?"
Kakashi shot a kunai at a large tree, and a blurry image disappeared from the tree.
"Byakugan!" Hinata activated her Byakugan and quickly caught up with the fleeing figure. She then said, "It's a woman wearing a white training uniform with pink hair. Her aura is quite solid. Just like Kakashi-sensei said, she might be a master."
"White training clothes and pink hair, could they be from the Phantom Troupe?" Eligi frowned. Being targeted by the Phantom Troupe was not good news.
This made Eligi think of Hisoka. Could it be that Hisoka had provoked the Phantom Troupe? Now Hisoka seems to be a member of the Phantom Troupe.
But this style of doing things didn't seem quite like the Phantom Troupe, which made Eligi a little uncertain for a moment.
"It seems we still need to get Hisoka to investigate this matter," Eligi muttered to himself.
Seeing that Erigi had finished thinking, Killua asked curiously, "Aren't we going to chase after them? With our strength, taking them down shouldn't be a problem at all."
"No, he might be a troublesome guy like Hisoka. Let's go find Hisoka first," Eligi said.
Killua was somewhat surprised to hear this. He was curious why Killua would rather go find Hisoka than chase after him. What trouble could be more troublesome than Hisoka?
