One was the World Martial Arts Tournament from the Dragon Ball universe.
The second was the Chūnin Exams from the Naruto universe.
"The entire tournament doesn't last long."
"There are a total of 21 floor masters."
"Two matches can be held in a day."
"In just five days, the top 11 can be determined."
"After another three days, the top 6 can be established."
"Two more days can determine the top 3."
"Then, with one additional day, the number 1 can be decided."
"The person who takes first place can challenge the floor master."
Ron spotted Mitena Dupu.
This was the only person among the floor masters that Ron recognized.
As Ron looked over, Mitena Dupu also noticed his gaze and nodded slightly.
The two exchanged greetings.
Ron withdrew his gaze and focused on the crystal ball in front of him.
As he had anticipated, once the fighting tournament at the Sky Arena began, the previously stagnant progress of the crystal ball finally started to accelerate again.
"At this rate, as soon as the tournament ends, the absorption by the crystal ball will reach 100%."
"My second Nen beast will appear."
A hint of anticipation glimmered in Ron's eyes.
Fights unfolded one after another in the arena.
Ron didn't miss a single match.
He gained a clearer understanding of the strength among the floor masters.
"The power levels among the floor masters at the Sky Arena vary greatly."
"Some of the weaker ones are only at Julianna's level."
"Mitena Dupu is considered average among them."
"But the stronger ones…"
Ron squinted his eyes.
"I can't assess their strength."
"Because their power is beyond my current level, much stronger than me now."
"It's like how I can't evaluate Uncle Silva or Grandpa Zeno's strength."
"I'm still not strong enough."
The matches in the arena concluded.
People began to leave one after another.
Some were still immersed in the previous battles, discussing the outcomes of the matches, but in reality, most could hardly understand what had happened.
Ron returned to his room.
Lena opened her eyes and joyfully ran over.
But White Bear arrived first, reaching Ron's side ahead of her.
He circled around Ron, rubbing his large head against him.
Ron smiled and patted White Bear's head.
"Big brother, I've basically mastered the basics of Zetsu, Ren, and Ten."
Ron nodded. "You did well. Now, let's test your Nen ability type. Go grab a cup of water and fill it up, then go to the balcony and pick a leaf."
Lena dashed off eagerly.
Before long, she returned with the items.
"Place the leaf on the surface of the water, then hold the cup with both hands and concentrate, gathering your aura in your hands."
Lena followed Ron's instructions.
In the next moment, the leaf on the water's surface began to move rapidly.
"Manipulation type, huh."
"Lena, that's enough."
Lena set the cup down.
White Bear leaned in to lick the water from the cup, then grabbed the leaf with his mouth. After a couple of chews, he found the taste off and went to the trash can to spit it out.
Afterwards, he curiously watched Ron and Lena.
Ron started to introduce the concepts related to Nen abilities.
"Nen users can generally be divided into six categories."
"Different categories are suitable for developing different types of abilities. Choosing the right direction can lead to better results with less effort."
"Lena, you are a Manipulation type."
"This means you'll develop abilities to manipulate others or objects."
There are quite a few Manipulation-type Nen users in this world.
"For example, there's Shalnark in the Phantom Troupe."
"Or kurapika's companion, Paku, who can control others through a kiss."
Illumi is also a Manipulation-type user.
However, even though Illumi is a Manipulation type, he doesn't neglect physical training and learning combat skills. Without using his Manipulation abilities, he remains quite strong.
Manipulation and Emission-type Nen users can both control puppets.
But there is a difference.
Manipulation types typically control existing living creatures, while Emission types control their own Nen beasts.
"Before officially developing your abilities, Lena, you might want to check out relevant novels, and comics."
"Or perhaps play similar games."
At this point, Ron suddenly thought of something.
Instead of having Lena explore on her own, why not let her directly copy a template?
Ron recalled countless works he had seen in his past life that could serve as references.
From the world of Naruto, there was Sasori of the Red Sand.
In the world of One Piece, there was Donquixote Doflamingo.
In the world of Digimon, there was Puppetmon.
"That could definitely work."
"Using a successful template is bound to be better than blindly groping in the dark."
"Moreover, Nen has this potential."
"Nen itself is a type of ability with a very high possibility."
"Regardless of the type of ability, whether it be ninjutsu, Devil Fruits… it can all be imitated."
"Just like how Kyler was able to develop a Nen ability similar to synthesis alchemy."
Ron didn't like what Kyler did.
However, he had to admit that Kyler's Nen ability further proved the possibilities of Nen.
As long as the ability can be imagined, it can be developed using Nen.
"A suitable template can be chosen for Lena to refer to."
Fireworks shot up into the sky.
Countless people looked up.
Across the entire city, countless bars broadcast the upcoming match on screens.
This was the most important match at the Sky Arena in two years.
The winners among the 21-floor masters would challenge the master of the Sky Arena.
Would the previous master defend their position?
Or would a new king rise?
Ron felt a rush of excitement as he found his seat in the audience.
But unlike everyone else.
Ron was not looking forward to watching this match.
What he was anticipating was that his observer's progress had reached 99%.
Only this final battle remained.
Once he had watched this battle, Ron would obtain his second Nen beast.
That was what Ron was incredibly eager for. Amidst the cheers of countless spectators, two figures ascended to the arena.
It attracted the attention of countless people.
