Boom!
A deep sound similar to a hammer striking fiercely on hot, smouldering iron was heard ringing across the plain fields. Like the announcement of something massive!
The ground erupted in fine shavings of pieces. A crater appeared around the three as their strikes connected like lightning. Netero grinned, his arms shaking slightly.
His two arms were in front of his chest, blocking a punch, a kick and a sharp card like they were mere children trying to overpower his strength.
"Not bad, for some beginners that is!" Netero surged forward, and his grip clenched around Breck's forearm, crushing his skin and bruising him in an instant.
Boom!
Breck groaned as he was swung into Hisoka, who used bungee gum to stop him and bounce Breck towards Netero at a faster speed with more strength.
Shizuku shot a projectile from Blinky towards Netero. The sound of the projectile piercing the air was heard across miles, stunning anyone near the area.
Netero's eyes widened as he dodged the projectile from Shizuku. The projectile hit the ground far from them, and it dug in like a beast, creating a trench more than 30 meters long and 5 meters wide.
Netero looked at Shizuku with an impressed look. He could have taken that hit with his body and Ko. But he doesn't want to.
Boom!
Netero punched forward, his fist hitting Breck's fist. The ground exploded, and a shockwave that tore the grass from the ground was sent out.
Swoosh!
Breck leaned down, and a sharp card flew at Netero, slicing the air. Netero dodged, his head moving to the side, but suddenly used Gyo to see a line of pink attached to the card.
Boom!
The card returned and almost struck Netero if not for lowering his body. Netero steadied himself with his hands and kicked up from the ground, sending Breck flying.
Boom!
Three projectiles flew at Netero, and the chairman of the Hunter Association clapped his hands, a golden hand materialising and slapping those projectiles.
A shockwave was released, pushing Hisoka and Breck further away, while the physically weaker Shizuku was ragdolled across the ground. Shizuku quickly flipped, wiping the dirt from her face.
The air turned tense and boiling as the four looked at each other. Hisoka grinned, his bloodlust leaking and causing the birds in the distance to flee, and Breck was even worse.
His bloodlust manifested behind him in the form of a face with sharp shark teeth and eyes that resembled skulls. It wavered in the air, crushing the air into a deathly silence.
Shizuku was standing there, her Blinky ready for the fade. Netero grinned, his arms clapping as he used his first attack. He was not going out, but it held a good amount of strength.
"First Hand!"
Boom!
At a speed that no one could see clearly. Breck was chopped into the ground from the head. His body bent, and his legs uncontrollably raised it into the air before his head slammed into the ground.
Boom!
Breck reinforced his body with and used Ten and Ren in that single 0.1 second. Breck instinctively felt the threat, and his body took it upon itself to defend with what skills Breck had learned.
Ken!
Boom!
The ground erupted into fragments of earth and a shockwave that spread rapidly from the grassland for hundreds of meters. Grass flew into the air, and a cloud covered everything.
A smoking crater was left in the ground, and Shizuku suddenly pointed her Blinky at Netero, firing knives like a machine gun from Blinky. Netero grinned, clapping his palms together in prayer.
"Third Hand!"
Sizuku could not even react as two golden hands came from the massive Buddha figure behind Netero. Its speed was blindingly fast, faster than anyone in the world.
The resulting shockwave blew the smoke and dirt around the area. In the crater created by Breck and Netero, Breck slowly stood up, blood dripping from his face.
Blood dripped from Breck's nose, his mouth full of red, and his slicked back hair ruined. Netero smirked as he turned towards Breck. Hisoka watched with interest, waiting for Breck's action.
Breck got into a low stance, his legs split apart and his waist twisted to the side. His aura flared to life, blowing the grass back and leaving a crater under him.
Ren was used to increase his aura to the max. Breck unleashed his Nen, and then, with skill like no other, used Ten to contain all that aura in a single point.
"Ka..."
"Me..."
"Ha..."
"Me..."
The aura between Breck's palms let out a rumble, trying to escape from his palms as it condensed into a tiny point the size of a rice grain. It groaned as it let out a massive shine.
Netero and Hisoka felt their hair stand on end as they felt the danger from this attack. It wouldn't kill either of them if they truly focused on defence, but Breck was far below them in terms of strength and aura.
Once again, Breck understood a new application of Nen without Shizuku or anyone else. His body instinctively knew what to do by utilising his memories of the technique.
The flow of ara stopped in Breck's body, focusing purely on the small grain of light. Ten prevented it from exploding, Ren increased the power to his maximum, concentrating 100% of his aura.
Breck looked up, and his hands thrust forward as he let his technique rip out like lightning.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Boom!
A beam of white light ripped through space like lightning. The ground under it turned to ashes, and Netero clapped his hands, creating a defensive wall with the hands of his guanyin.
The beam hit the hands, and a shockwave was created. A massive crater 100 meters wide was left around Netero. The shockwave blew around, travelling for a couple of miles before turning into a soft breeze.
Breck fell back onto his back, his aura expended from the fight and his kamehameha. His eyelids felt heavy, but Breck entered Zetsu, and his stamina was regained bit by bit.
Breck looked at the crater, and a golden shine shot through the smoke as Netero stepped out of the dust cloud. He had no injury on his body whatsoever, and the only difference was the dust on his body.
"It's been a long time since I fought someone as good as you. Learning two advanced techniques in a fight that was not even to the death. You are a talent," Netero praised, his guanyin dissappearing.
"You should stand proud, young Breck,"
"You are close to the top 10 Nen users in strength!" Netero exclaimed, and Breck grinned as he was not even done with learning everything. Once he did, he won't be 10.
He will be the undisputed 1!
