For two months, Moyu only asked Kurapika to concentrate on practicing basic nen skills such as entanglement, practice, and absolute, as well as advanced nen skills such as Zhou, Yin, and Condensation.
Lay down the foundation first, and then focus on developing mindfulness abilities.
This is Moyu’s practice philosophy.
In fact, this is how he came along.
Now shouldering the responsibility of teaching Kurapika, let Kurapika walk on the road he once walked.
Although the "teachers" dispatched by the Hunter Association are usually only responsible for guiding newcomers to master the four majors, Moyu will not take it lightly like other "teachers".
Not only did he want to introduce Kurapika to the game, but he also wanted to teach Kurapika advanced application techniques of Nian.
"Space ability or chains..."
Moyu looked at Kurapika and said calmly: "It's a pity that you don't have much time left, otherwise it's not impossible to do both."
In the past two months, Moyu not only experienced Kurapika's hard work, but also witnessed Kurapika's talent in reading ability.
In addition, his meticulous thinking, as well as his extraordinary powers of observation and analysis, all point to Kurapika's plasticity in terms of combat literacy.
Therefore, Moyo believes that Kurapika has the ability to realize the two ideas of spatial ability and chains with his talent.
Regrettably--
Moyu can wait, but the Phantom Troupe cannot wait.
It won't be long before there is bound to be contact between the two.
"A combination of both..."
Kurapika lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.
He learned a lot of knowledge and ideas about Nian from Moyu, and it’s not like he never thought of integrating the two ideas.
But as Moyu said, he is still burdened by the constraints of "time" and is not qualified to aim high.
Moyo looked at Kurapika's reaction and said calmly: "You can't chew off more than you can chew, that's the truth, but I didn't want to limit your choices."
"Um?"
Kurapika was startled for a moment, then looked up at Moyu, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Moyu raised his right hand, and a ball of telepathy light floated on his palm like water waves.
"Kurapika, the existence of nen... will subtly affect the character and will of the person with nen ability, either magnifying the advantages or amplifying the shortcomings, but this influence is two-way. The character, will, and even emotions of the person with nen ability
, can also affect changes in thoughts in many cases.”
At this point, Moyu's eyes shifted from the telepathy in his palm to Kurapika's face and said:
"So I won't take it upon myself to tell you what to do when you encounter obstacles on the road. What I can do is give you the ability to make choices, but there is one thing you must understand. Whenever you do something,
Before making a decision, you must first anticipate the worst outcome.”
"Um."
Kurapika nodded silently.
Moyu did not continue this topic, thought for a while, and said: "That's it for today. After dinner time, we should pack up our things. It's time for us to change places."
"Where to?"
Kurapika asked.
Moyu looked at him and smiled: "Trap Tower, that place holds countless vicious prisoners. It is a good training place."
"..."
Kurapika's pupils narrowed, already guessing Moyo's motive for taking him to that place.
One week later.
Moyu, Kurapika, and Xiaodi traveled thousands of miles to the trap tower.
This place is the third level test location of the original hunter test.
Due to the intervention of the butterfly Moyu, the plot changed, and the candidates in the 287th period did not go to the trap tower.
The trap tower houses all kinds of extremely vicious prisoners, and each prisoner's sentence starts at a minimum of one hundred years.
According to Moyu's own philosophy, the existence of these prisoners is just a waste of food.
However, the country that governs the trap tower allows the existence of "the glory of humanity". No matter how serious the crimes of these prisoners are, they will be sentenced strictly in accordance with the law.
therefore--
There are no life-sentence prisoners in the Trap Tower, only prisoners who are often sentenced to hundreds of years in prison.
And these prisoners who did not regret their death are the most suitable to be used as human-shaped wooden stakes.
This is why Moyu specially brought Kurapika to the trap tower.
Of course, there were also thoughts of taking Kurapika directly to the Sky Arena, but the Phantom Troupe obviously would not let them be so free.
"Trash also has its uses."
In a control room, Moyu looked at Libo, the trap tower manager in front of him.
Lipper is short in stature, has narrow eyes, and wears thin-rimmed glasses.
Despite his humble appearance, he is actually a professional bounty hunter.
"I completely agree with you, Mr. Moyo."
Libo's eyes were bent into crescent shapes, and his words and deeds all revealed his respect for Moyu.
As a professional bounty hunter, the achievements made by Moyu at his age deserve Libo's admiration and respect.
"Then I'll leave the arrangements to you, Mr. Lieber."
Moyo was smiling.
To transfer prisoners beyond the "human rights laws", not only must a written filing be made, but one application after another must be issued layer by layer.
All in all, the procedure is quite troublesome.
But as long as the prisoner's consent is obtained, these procedures are not required.
Moyo wanted these prisoners to be Kurapika's whetstones, and he knew that these prisoners would definitely agree to the terms he gave.
After all, as long as you win over a weak-looking young man, your sentence can be shortened. Such an opportunity can drive the prisoners completely crazy.
Libo also smiled and said seriously: "You are too polite, Mr. Moyu, I think...the people in the Trap Tower will be very grateful to you for giving them a precious opportunity to reduce their prison terms."
"Ah."
Moyu was smiling, but his eyes were extremely calm.
He does provide prisoners with an opportunity to reduce their sentences, but this opportunity may also turn into a death scythe.
Soon, under Libo's arrangement, Kurapika began to fight against the prisoners in the trap tower.
At the beginning, Moyu asked Kurapika to only use Tango, so that these prisoners would not be beaten to death.
"It is not a pity to die for these people, but whether to kill or not to kill depends on your own choice."
In actual battles again and again, Moyu did not interfere with Kurapika's attitude towards these prisoners.
If it were him, he would definitely kill these prisoners without hesitation in actual combat.
But he would not ask Kurapika to do the same. Even if he already knew that Kurapika had chosen the career path of a bounty hunter, he would still let Kurapika decide what to do.
Kurapika did not kill these prisoners at first.
But as time went by, the prisoners he faced became more and more vicious, which invisibly began to erode his original ideas and values.
About half a month.
Kurapika personally killed a prisoner who had been serving a sentence of more than 300 years in actual combat.
That night, Kurapika didn't sleep all night.
Moyu didn't sleep either, waiting quietly outside the room.
Early morning.
Kurapika opened the door and could see Moyu leaning on the wall next to the door.
He knew that Moyu had been outside the room, so he was not surprised at all.
"Moyu, when they... took away the lives of others with their own hands, did they not think about anything, did they not feel the slightest bit..."
"Unfortunately, I'm leaning towards yes."
Moyu turned his head and looked at the listless Kurapika and said:
"In this world, there will be kind-hearted people who want to help you regardless of the reason, but there will also be evil people who can easily take away the lives of others without any feeling. The latter are everywhere in this place.
"
"..."
Kurapika lowered his head and remained silent.
Moyu took a step forward and said seriously: "It seems you have made a decision."
"Um."
Kurapika lowered his head and looked to his right hand.
Crash--
A sound of chains clashing sounded out of thin air.
On Kurapika's right hand, there are phantoms of chains gradually materializing in the luster of telekinesis.
"When I knew that I was a manifestation type, the thing that came to my mind was chains..."
Kurapika slowly raised his right hand wrapped with chains, and with a crisp sound, a chain dropped from his fingers.
At the end of the chain, there was a small flame-shaped lantern emitting green fluorescence.
This is the result of Kurapika's sleepless night.
When you want to materialize something, it should take a lot of concentration and imagination...
However, in Kurapika's anxious state, it only took him one night to materialize the chain.
This is naturally related to solid basic skills and a deep enough understanding of mind, but it is more a reflection of Kurapika's strong will.
"But I understand that it is difficult for me to ensure victory against multiple spiders with my own strength, so I need an ability that can create the conditions of 'fighting alone', and at the same time I don't want to abandon the idea that originally came to my mind.
Something to think about.”
Kurapika raised his eyes and looked at Moyu in front of him. There seemed to be a red light flashing in the pupils wearing contact lenses.
"So, I created a prison based on that."
"Yeah……"
Moyu turned his eyes and looked at Kurapika's chain hanging from his fingers, and said calmly: "Kurapika, I have reminded you before..."
"I know."
Kurapika's eyes showed determination, and he said solemnly: "So I will use 'Oath and Restriction' to strengthen its abilities."
"Then what are you prepared to pay for?"
Before Moyu asked this question, he already roughly knew the answer.
Just as he expected, Kurapika said without hesitation: "Fate."
He hated the feeling of blood on his hands, and hated the eyes that gradually lost their luster in the blood.
But in order to find the eyes of the tribe and drag the Phantom Troupe into hell...
He must realize something.
For this, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
Kurapika's answer was within Moyu's expectation, and——
Judging from the chain style of Kurapika's equipment, it seems that it still has five abilities.
Except for the chains that are suspected to be prison abilities that have changed under his influence, the ideas of the other four abilities should be the same as those in the original work.
Because those abilities in the original work were all developed by Kurapika from the perspective of "one person against the entire Phantom Troupe".
The flame-shaped lantern chain ability that creates the opportunity to fight alone is actually a result of Kurapika's appreciation of the diversity of nen abilities from Moyu and the rich knowledge of nen he received in advance.
However, it is difficult to determine whether Kurapika will be influenced by Moyu in the future and develop abilities different from those in the original work.
But under this premise, it is certain that Kurapika still adheres to the idea of fighting alone.
Moyu understood this.
Then--
He felt that the advantage of having him teach Kurapika was probably that it could change Kurapika's fate of death.
"Kurapika."
"Um?"
"What's the name of your chain's ability?"
"The chain of attracting souls."
"That doesn't sound bad."
"..."
"Kurapika."
"Um?"
"Are you the only one left in the Kuluta clan?"
"yes."
"Then have you ever thought about continuing your bloodline?"
"What's the meaning?"
"It means giving birth to a child."
"..."
"Kurapika."
"Um?"
"Actually, what I want to say is... there is absolutely no problem with your ability thinking. I can also conclude that as long as you turn these ideas into reality, it will definitely help you achieve your goals in the future. But have you ever thought about a possibility?
sex……"
"What's the possibility?"
"It's just...the possibility that the Phantom Troupe will be destroyed by me."
"?"
Kurapika was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes.
The firm consciousness that had been tempered overnight suddenly became unbearable.
He decided to use his life as a restriction in exchange for an oath effect that was only effective for the Phantom Troupe.
He believes that such restrictions are enough to allow him to gain the ability to send the Phantom Troupe to hell in a limited time.
But what Moyu said now...
When the designated skills gained through careful planning and sacrifice of life suddenly lose their target.
Is there anything more heartbreaking than this?
When he thought of this possibility, Kurapika suddenly felt like he was drawing his sword and looking around in confusion.
Moyo raised his hand and patted Kurapika's shoulder, comforting him: "Don't be so disappointed. Don't you still want to find the eyes of your tribe? So I think it's better to forget about betting your life."
"..."
Kurapika said nothing, with a complicated expression.
He suddenly became a little suspicious of Moyu's motivation for asking him to teach him the ability to read.
Moyo looked at the silent Kurapika, thought for a while, and then said in a reluctant tone:
"Otherwise, I'll save one for you. What do you think of Hisoka? That guy is very resistant to beatings. I'll definitely satisfy you. Anyway, as long as you don't risk your life, you can say anything."
"..."
Kurapika remained silent, not knowing what to say.
He was also a eloquent type, but when he was in front of Moyu, he felt deeply helpless.
Seeing that Kurapika still didn't speak, Moyu took a deep breath and said heartbrokenly: "Two, give you two, this is my biggest concession, um... just Kubi and Hisoka, how about it?
