This was essentially giving the opponent a baptism for nen.
It didn't even leave him disabled.
At that time, Gon's strength wasn't considered weak.
Moreover, offensive capability was Gon's strong suit.
Even with such a punch, he didn't kill the opponent.
This shows how high the opponent's physical strength was.
"Based on this performance, I estimate that D-level Nen users are simply no match for the Chimera Ants.
They might only be able to handle ordinary soldier ants.
Once the Chimera Ants grasp Nen, they'll become even stronger."
In the afternoon, Ron sparred with Jack.
Sometimes they engaged in pure combat technique matches.
Other times, they included Nen technique sparring.
But they never used any specific Nen abilities.
Besides Jack, Ron met another member of TST.
A Nen user who came from a boxing background.
Like Jack, he was a D-level Nen user.
Juliana took the initiative to visit.
A series of knocks sounded.
Nina opened the door.
As a competitor in the Sky Arena, Nina knew Juliana.
Previously, Kyler had lost to Juliana.
At that time, Nina even disliked Juliana because of it.
But later, Nina understood.
Juliana hadn't done anything wrong.
Since it was a match, you had to give it your all. Juliana's win was without any issue.
The problem was with Kyler.
Clearly lacking sufficient strength, why strive for the position of Floor Master?
People often live in pain because their ambition doesn't match their ability.
"Contentment brings happiness"—many people know this saying.
But few can actually achieve it.
When you can calmly accept everything, life becomes much happier.
Just like those people on the rooftop.
If they can even accept death, what else can't they accept?
"He's not here right now. Senior Julie, do you need something from Big Brother?"
"We agreed last time to have a match. The time has come."
Juliana glanced inside. She originally wanted to go in and wait but thought better of it.
"Could you pass a message to Ron for me?"
Juliana took out a piece of paper.
"Sure, I'll let Big Brother know."
Juliana left, but after walking a few steps, she couldn't help but turn back and look twice.
When she saw Nina, Juliana subconsciously felt a sense of familiarity.
But Juliana was certain she hadn't met Nina before.
In the evening, Ron came downstairs upon returning.
Nina approached, handed him the note, and relayed Juliana's message.
Ron had almost forgotten about this matter.
After joining TST, Juliana no longer held any value to Ron.
Over the past three months, Ron could feel significant changes in himself.
His In, En, Shu, and Ken had all greatly improved.
Among them, Ken and En had reached over 90% proficiency.
In and Shu were slightly behind.
Additionally, his physical strength had increased.
And he had mastered combat techniques.
Through numerous actual combats, Ron had integrated the martial arts techniques obtained from Hanma Baki—not just knowing them, but now being proficient.
In terms of proficiency levels:
Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, Expert.
Previously, Ron was at the beginner level; now he has reached expert.
"Great-grandfather said that I need to achieve over 90% proficiency in Ko before I can contact the Nen users in the country of Taris. This goal isn't far off."
"But if the opponent is Juliana, it's fine."
After three months, a match was bound to happen.
For Juliana, she hoped to face Ron as her opponent.
For Ron, it didn't matter who it was.
Within TST, there were higher-quality opponents.
"Come to think of it, TST should count as the upper echelon of the Sky Arena."
"Centered around the Tower Master."
"Most of the Floor Masters are likely members of the Sky Arena's upper management."
"Last time, when they warned the Underworld's mafia to withdraw from this city, it was their doing."
The day of the match arrived.
This time, the audience seats were almost completely full.
Even Nina and the other two couldn't get tickets.
They had to watch from the luxury suite, on the big-screen TV in the living room.
Putting aside the Floor Master Challenge, the battle between Ron and Juliana could already be considered the highest-level, most captivating match in the Sky Arena.
Juliana was a competitor who had previously qualified for the Floor Master Challenge.
Even though she failed the challenge, it was enough to prove Juliana's strength.
Ron had also shown exceptional performance.
He had participated in five matches.
As long as Ron won six more matches, he could also qualify to challenge the Floor Master.
Moreover, in his previous battles, Ron had shown extreme dominance.
Either he easily defeated his opponents.
Or he remained calm and composed from beginning to end.
The most crucial point was Ron's age.
He was just over ten years old.
A young genius always attracts more attention.
A persona is a very important thing.
Whether in novels, film and television works, social circles, workplaces, or even life...
Once a persona is established, it's easier for others to remember you.
The competitors in the Sky Arena are the same.
It's not necessarily the stronger fighters who get more attention.
Both Ron and Juliana have very distinct personas.
One is a young genius.
One is a muscular beauty.
Juliana had a beautiful face, and when combined with her toned, muscular body, it gave her an unexpected charm.
This struck a chord with some people's preferences.
Many audience members even held Juliana's photo in their hands, hiding under the covers late at night, engaging in certain unspeakable activities. (t/n Ok stop it)
Without needing the host to hype it up, the atmosphere on-site was already extremely enthusiastic.
Both Ron and Juliana had their own supporters.
Because she had participated in more matches and had more experience, Juliana currently had more fans than Ron.
However, to Ron and Juliana, these fans didn't matter.
