Regarding their understanding of Nen Ability, Kevin had previously engaged in in-depth exchanges with Kurapika and the others, explaining the knowledge of Nen Ability to them in detail.
Therefore, they did not feel lost in this regard.
They only needed to recount it based on the current situation.
"First, there are the Four Major Principles, which I mentioned to you before, right?" Kevin asked.
The three of them nodded.
This was all very important knowledge, and it wasn't information that was difficult to remember.
"That makes things easier. You have already mastered Ten, so the next thing to consider is how to completely contain your Nen within your body to reach the state of Zetsu."
"After that, try to control your Nen, letting it burst forth according to your own will; this is Ren."
"This technique must be mastered proficiently and practiced often; it is a very effective training method that can significantly improve your strength."
"When these three basic skills are mastered, you will reach the final one: Hatsu."
"According to the normal schedule, at this stage, you should begin to construct your own Nen Ability. At that time, I will test you to determine your Nen category."
"But before that, you must practice the first three basic skills until they are extremely solid."
Having finished speaking, Kevin looked at the three of them with a calm expression.
Back when Kevin had first explained the knowledge related to Nen Ability to them, Kurapika and the other two had already understood these concepts; they were not unfamiliar, and understanding them was relatively easy.
Although they all harbored hatred in their hearts, ever since they met Kevin...
Kevin had intentionally guided them to view this hatred correctly.
He did not ask them to give up on revenge, but rather instilled in them the concept that 'revenge need not be rushed'.
The wisdom of the ancestors.
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years."
When one lacks the strength, being patient and lying low is very necessary.
It wasn't as if they lacked the talent or ability.
Not to mention that the targets of their revenge were not fools; over a dozen Nen Users were acting together, and they were very secretive with their information, making their tracks almost impossible to detect.
They had been on the wanted list for several years, yet no one had ever really managed to arrest a single member.
Therefore, this group of guys would definitely keep living well, waiting for them to come for revenge.
Kevin also told them with great confidence: "With the help of my Nen Ability, plus your own good talent, it won't take many years for your strength to surely surpass those guys who slaughtered your clansmen."
"By then, you will naturally be able to seek justice from them and pay them back in their own coin."
The beautiful vision Kevin painted was exactly what they longed for in their hearts.
Coupled with the fact that Kevin cared for them meticulously and taught them diligently on a daily basis, they were filled with trust in him.
Would Uncle Kevin ever harm us?
Therefore, although the hatred in their hearts had not diminished, they would not rush for revenge, nor would they be blinded by hatred and lose their reason.
In this regard, Kevin especially admired Pairo.
Without a doubt, Pairo was the one among the three with the most intense hatred.
After all, at his young age, he had witnessed that horrific tragedy with his own eyes.
His father had fought desperately while seeking revenge and covering their retreat.
However, he was also the one with the strongest emotional control among the three, and could be called the most rational one.
After Kevin pointed out the direction for them, Pairo clearly knew what he should do and how to do it; he buried his hatred deep in his heart.
Kurapika also had hatred in his heart, just not as deeply ingrained as Pairo's, and relatively speaking, he was more prone to being emotional.
It could be said that he was a passionate, spirited youth, but he was not lacking in reason and was clear about his goals.
As for Rosanna, there was no need to say more; her main energy was focused on protecting the only remaining family members by her side.
The radiance of motherhood was vividly displayed in her.
The longer he spent with the three of them, and the deeper his understanding of them grew, the more Kevin admired their rationality.
He thought to himself that if it were him, he probably would find it hard to do what they had done.
Since he couldn't do it himself, but others had, Kevin naturally felt deep admiration.
Kevin withdrew his brief thoughts and looked at the three of them, who were as excited as if they had received new toys, and did not disturb them too much.
Wasn't he like that at that time too?
After the three of them had familiarized themselves for a while, Kevin continued: "Above the Four Major Principles, there are the Seven Major Techniques,"
"They are various application techniques of Nen Ability. However, you need to master the basic abilities first, and then I will teach them to you."
"Do you understand now? You can first feel the changes in your own bodies; from now on, you must carry out Nen Ability training every day."
"Physical training, of course, cannot be slackened; this is the foundation of everything, but now you must pay attention to the balance between the two."
As he spoke, Kevin simply began to train together with the three of them,
because at his current stage, he also needed to shift his focus to the development of 'Nen'.
Over the past half year, he had fully opened up his resilient body, training crazily to strengthen his physical fitness, and had now laid a solid foundation.
Now, he wanted to let this resilient body burst forth with enough immense Nen.
The training and development of a Nen Ability cannot be completed overnight, but is a long process.
In addition to training with the three of them, Kevin began to devote more time to 'Nen Ability Development'.
Nowadays, he was already adept at the Conjuration of the'syringe'; wanting to conjure a syringe was not difficult for him at all.
According to Biscuit's understanding and explanation of Nen Ability:
The essence of Conjuration is to strengthen the rules of existing objects; it is an ability to establish rules for items.
Suppose someone's Conjuration ability is to conjure a balloon.
Then, this person can take the characteristics of the balloon itself to the extreme, or even endow the 'balloon' with some functions it did not originally possess.
For example, a balloon has the property of floating; one can strengthen its floating ability so that an ordinary balloon can carry a person to fly into the sky.
Or, for example, a balloon can explode; then one can strengthen its explosive power, turning the balloon directly into a bomb.
And establishing rules means endowing the balloon with some abilities that did not originally exist.
For example, stipulating that the balloon one conjures has a scanning function, capable of replacing eyes to see.
Through Vows and Limitations, the balloon can possess this ability.
Or let the balloon have the ability to perceive danger; as long as danger approaches, the balloon will explode, thereby serving as a warning.
Things like this are the characteristics of Conjuration Nen Ability.
Kevin looked at the special syringe in his hand, which was almost polished to a patina by his handling.
First, he clarified that this syringe was essentially a derivative of his own Nen Ability, Moments Dream.
The meaning of its existence was to strengthen and supplement the details of Moments Dream.
As his body continued to grow stronger, Kevin's Nen had already reached 21,000, and the remaining memory capacity was enough to support him in constructing an additional derivative Nen Ability.
After all, this was not a primary Nen Ability; it was an add-on, so the requirements were not high.
At present, the basic conditions to ensure success were already in place.
Next, what Kevin needed to do was to clarify what kind of functions he wanted this syringe to possess.
His goal was: to further strengthen the efficacy of the potion he produced.
Since this was a Nen Ability he constructed himself, he had to be clear about the effects this Nen Ability was to achieve, as well as the specific method and degree of strengthening.
After thinking it over, Kevin decided to strengthen the injection capability of the syringe.
He hoped that he would not need to deliberately aim at a specific part for injection; as long as the syringe was inserted into the body, the potion inside could be immediately injected into the body and spread rapidly to take effect.
This point did not need to be too deliberate, as his potion itself already had such an ability.
Then, Kevin also wanted to strengthen some abstract concepts of the syringe.
The function of a syringe is to allow medicine to enter the body to achieve effects that oral administration cannot reach.
For example, a drug that can be taken orally or injected; through injection, its effect is often better than oral administration, and it takes effect faster.
This is a normal, logical, and realistic issue.
What Kevin wanted to strengthen was this concept of making the drug effect stronger.
The potion produced by Nen Ability is also medicine, and Kevin had constructed this Nen Ability based on potions to begin with; this was its essence.
This Nen Ability was essentially an additional extension and strengthening of the original function, so there was no need to add any unnecessary abilities; he only needed to focus on strengthening these two core functions.
After determining the goal and conceiving the desired effects, Kevin began to formally construct and conjure this Nen Ability.
Just like when he conjured the Pharmaceutical Table, Kevin tried hard to find that feeling, clearly conceiving in his mind the object he wanted to conjure, and imprinting all its details deeply in his mind.
Nen began to instinctively surge from his hands and converge, gradually condensing into shape, and an object that looked real slowly appeared in his hands.
A syringe composed of an injection needle and a syringe barrel was conjured in this way.
Its appearance had a fairly obvious difference from a real syringe, after all, what Kevin had repeatedly studied before was a special syringe.
It presented a crystal-like transparent texture, dotted with glistening colors, and a Red Stone logo was imprinted on it.
This was probably because Kevin had been thinking too much about Red Stone Pharmaceuticals recently, and had unconsciously imprinted this logo on it as a decoration.
This could also be considered Kevin's fairly obvious representative emblem now, or it could be seen as an association with the potion.
No matter how one thought about it, this symbolic meaning appeared on the syringe.
There was no traditional propulsion mechanism at the back of the syringe; it was designed to nest and combine with the potion.
It was a relatively advanced syringe design, and the size of the hollow space in the middle was just right, allowing the potion to be inserted perfectly.
Even if an encapsulated potion was inserted, it could extract the potion inside out of thin air.
It is a Nen Ability, after all; you cannot expect it to be exactly the same as a real-world potion.
Looking at the needle part, at first glance, it seemed plain and unremarkable, with nothing special about it.
Upon closer inspection, there really was nothing special; it was just an ordinary needle.
『Syringe』
Kevin looked at the manifested Nen Ability in his hand and inserted the pre-prepared potion into the syringe.
He stuck it directly into his thigh.
As the needle pierced his thigh, a slight stinging sensation followed.
The potion disappeared immediately at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Kevin simply let go.
Within two seconds, the potion had completely entered his body, and then the syringe itself vanished after use.
The potion Kevin used this time was indeed the 『Strength Potion』.
He was too familiar with this potion and could well judge how the changes it brought about differed, even if they were subtle.
It was perfect for verifying the differences brought about by his Nen Ability.
He immediately felt an effect completely different from the past.
The potency became stronger, as if it had received some kind of enhancement.
However, the enhancement effect was limited, but this was understandable.
Actively activating 『Blank Meteor』, Kevin wanted to continue updating his memory of the potion's effects.
But it clearly failed.
Although the efficacy was enhanced, Kevin could not use the effects enhanced by the 『Syringe』 to memorize it.
What he could still memorize was the efficacy of the potion when "taken orally."
However, the improvement brought by the 『Syringe』 was that the duration of the effects produced by injecting the potion had doubled.
It was extended directly from the previous fifteen minutes to half an hour.
It was a huge leap forward, giving Kevin's combat ability substantial endurance.
This allowed the body to memorize the potion's effects for a longer time.
Furthermore, because it was an injection method, the "memory" left by the potion's effects in his body was also deeper.
This was the main point Kevin had really put his heart into when constructing this Nen Ability; this was the most important thing.
In other words, the ability that might have originally required 10 potions for the body to memorize now probably only needed 7 or 6.
This point was crucial for Kevin.
His Nen Abilities cooperated with each other, and the core purpose was to allow the effects brought by the "potions" to be permanently retained; everything was done for this purpose.
Everything else was just an add-on.
By strengthening the concept of his own "muscle memory" and abstracting it, he tried to make his body remember things that were originally impossible to remember through muscle memory.
This was the characteristic of the Enhancer Nen Ability; the essence of the Enhancer was to strengthen existing traits.
Whether strengthening one's own traits or the traits of external objects, it could strengthen them into some seemingly unreasonable "abstract concept."
Making people exclaim, "Is this even possible?"
But this was the unique charm of the Enhancer ability.
The focus of the Enhancer was, of course, throwing powerful punches, but don't think that the Enhancer could only throw powerful punches.
Every category was very profound.
After understanding Kevin's goal, one could understand that everything he did had a reason.
Kevin had refined various potions and also obtained many materials.
He had to admit that many high-level rare materials possessed "uniqueness."
The "uniqueness" here did not mean absolutely one-of-a-kind, but rather that it was very difficult to find the exact same creature and the materials it produced again.
The most typical example was the Gem Fish scales that Biscuit gave him; those were the products of a mutated fish, and trying to find the same creature again as material was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Similar examples were countless.
Although Kevin called himself a Mythical Beast Hunter, in reality, he had never seen a Phantom Beast, and the only rare beast he had seen was the Double-Headed Wolf.
He had, however, seen quite a few magical beasts.
Dangerous prohibited areas were mostly because too many magical beasts inhabited them.
The reason Phantom Beasts were called Phantom Beasts was that they were extremely rare and only existed in legends and some scattered clues.
These types of beasts almost all possessed the characteristic of "uniqueness," and the materials they produced were naturally very limited.
If he could use these materials to make the 『potion』 that was extremely effective and that Kevin dreamed of, then he would need to use his body to "memorize" the abilities brought by these potions.
However, Kevin clearly felt that the body's memorization of these special abilities was a process.
Moreover, for different abilities, the quantity of potions required for the memorization process would fluctuate depending on the efficacy.
What was certain was that the more powerful and rare the ability, the harder it was for the body to memorize.
This meant that more potions needed to be consumed to achieve the goal.
But what if the quantity of produced potions was limited? What if he couldn't completely memorize these abilities?
Taking the 『Strength Potion』 as an example, its effects grew progressively; even if the potion was used up at the end, the ability could still be learned.
It just might not reach the optimal effect, but at least it could still be considered as having mastered an ability.
But for something like the 『Iron Wall Potion』, either you learned it or you didn't; if you were short by just one bottle of potion, you would never be able to master this ability.
Even if the progress bar reached 99%, being short by that 1% was useless.
Kevin had experienced such torture when memorizing the "Iron Wall" ability.
He had prepared about twenty potions at the time, and in the end, only three or four were left; that kind of emotional fluctuation was truly unbearable.
If he hadn't successfully memorized the ability, all previous efforts would have gone down the drain, causing a huge loss.
Using these potions in battle could bring powerful buff effects, and the memorized abilities could also play a role in battle.
But the problem was that the quantity of such rare potions was limited.
Therefore, he had to take the potions during daily training in order to memorize the abilities.
But if he turned all the rare materials into potions and used them during learning, but didn't learn the corresponding ability.
But these potions were all used up in training, so naturally, they couldn't be saved for use in emergencies, which would be a huge loss.
From rare materials, to making potions, to spending time training, the large amount of energy and resources invested during this period could all be wasted.
Just thinking about it made Kevin's heart ache uncontrollably.
Therefore, the main function of the 『Syringe』 Nen Ability was not to enhance the potion's effects; that was just an incidental benefit.
Its core function was to extend the duration of the potion's effects; double the time was equivalent to having double the amount of potions.
At the same time, strengthening the depth of the potion's effects in his body made it easier for his body to memorize these abilities.
Now that both of these goals had been achieved, Kevin felt that his Nen Ability construction this time was very successful.
"Awesome!"
The joy of success made Kevin feel exceptionally relaxed.
"So the question is, does the secondary refining I want require spending additional memory capacity, or can it be autonomously improved after my strength becomes powerful?"
The so-called secondary refining was inspired by Cheadle.
Combining three materials together for refining didn't seem to necessarily achieve the perfect effect he envisioned.
Simply put, he was being greedier.
He wanted a more powerful, more comprehensive potion.
So Cheadle asked him at the time: "Can you take a refined potion as a material and add other materials to it for secondary refining?"
At least at that time, Kevin felt that this was unfeasible, and experiments had indeed confirmed this.
But the problem was that Cheadle held high expectations for this possibility.
It had to be admitted that Cheadle, as one of the Zodiacs, had very deep research into Nen Abilities, which the current Kevin could not compare to.
So until the time they parted, Cheadle was still reminding Kevin that he might as well strive to explore in this direction.
Kevin had also consulted Biscuit on this issue.
Biscuit indicated that such a possibility existed.
With the improvement of strength, the original Nen Ability would become more powerful; the most basic manifestation was reducing or even eliminating side effects and improving the existing effects.
This was normal and expected.
And "Specialization System" Nen Abilities, although innate and not needing to be self-constructed, had many such abilities that could upgrade after meeting certain conditions.
Among them, there were also some that became more powerful with the improvement of one's own strength, just with more possibilities than other categories.
Of course, not all Specialization System Nen Abilities possessed this upgrade function, but perhaps Kevin just happened to have one.
If it really didn't work, once Kevin's strength became powerful enough, perhaps he could also achieve such an improvement in effects.
Kevin had originally planned that if he had enough memory capacity, he would attach such a Nen Ability, but unfortunately, the memory capacity was now exhausted.
『Syringe』 had used up all the remaining memory capacity.
Moreover, secondary refining, no matter how one looked at it, was an effect that could be improved through increased strength.
It was just unknown at what stage of strength changes would occur.
