A crystal ball, visible only to Ron, floated before him.
The progress bar was completely filled.
In the next instant, Ron felt a surge of energy rush from his body into the crystal ball at an astonishing speed.
It was exactly as it had been the last time.
The color of the crystal ball began to shift.
A resounding sound erupted in Ron's mind, and he felt his consciousness plunge into another realm, where numerous phantoms appeared before him.
A young man with short black hair, his muscles faintly glowing.
A boy with red spiky hair, striking a sumo stance.
A dark-skinned man, his body intertwined with metal.
A woman, broad-shouldered and stout.
A boy with brown hair, appearing relaxed.
In the next moment, all these figures entered the crystal ball.
An explosive sound reverberated.
Ron felt his consciousness swiftly retreat.
Before long, he opened his eyes.
With a flick of his mind, a figure materialized before him.
Simultaneously, a torrent of information surged into Ron's brain.
Ron processed the flood of information.
Baki Hanma, from the world of *Baki*, was a top-tier being in that universe, the son of Yujiro Hanma.
He had the potential to surpass even Yujiro Hanma himself.
His combat talent was exceptionally strong.
After numerous battles, he had mastered a vast array of fighting techniques: basic body techniques, relaxation techniques, triangle elbow strikes, mantis leaps...
Moreover, he had awakened the inherent abilities of the Hanma bloodline.
Demon Back, Demon Brain, Brain Endorphins...
Ron examined the figure before him.
A boy with short, curly brown hair, clad in a tight white tank top and loose long pants.
A fighter's aura radiated from Baki Hanma.
Ron focused his mind again.
The figure of the Killer Queen appeared.
Both Nen beasts stood before Ron.
"The strength of a Nen beast is linked to the energy provided by the Nen user."
"However, my Nen beasts are somewhat different."
"In addition to the energy I provide, the information about characters related to the Nen beasts in my memories, along with data from that world, also enhances the Nen beasts."
"Furthermore, the improvements brought by the Observer's Ultimate Intent."
"Absorbing the characteristics of the Zoldyck Family estate and the attributes of the Sky Arena—these traits are not absorbed without purpose."
"Thus, my Nen beasts will be significantly stronger thanKnockles and Kite's Nen beasts."
"Of course, this is under the condition of using the same amount of energy."
Ron scrutinized Baki Hanma.
"The Killer Queen can also be categorized as a close-combat type Nen beast, but in terms of experience, skills, and talent in this area, she cannot compete with Baki Hanma."
"In the future, the Killer Queen can specialize in explosive abilities."
"That's the correct way to utilize the Killer Queen."
"The real Killer Queen and Baki Hanma certainly cannot be directly compared."
"They are from different worlds."
However, the beings standing before Ron were not the true Killer Queen and Baki Hanma.
They were Ron's Nen beasts.
Entities derived from the foundation of Ron's Nen.
The basis of the two Nen beasts was the same.
Therefore, they could be compared.
The absorbed characteristics differed, as did the inherited experiences, skills, and talents, resulting in varied focuses.
"Should I have the two Nen beasts compete?"
Once this thought crossed Ron's mind, he couldn't help but want to test it out.
Nina and White Bear immediately looked over.
Ron glanced at the dining table.
"Have you had dinner?"
"Then let's order food and have it delivered quickly."
Nina picked up the phone to place the order.
On the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, staff were available 24 hours a day.
"Big brother, would you like the same as last night?"
Before long, dinner arrived.
There were three portions in total.
One each for Ron, Nina, and White Bear.
The meal was primarily meat, but fruits and vegetables were also essential.
As Nen users, their energy and nutritional needs were significant.
Ron recalled that many powerful individuals from various worlds often started as big eaters.
For instance, Luffy from the world of *One Piece*, Natsu from *Fairy Tail*, and Ron's second Nen beast counterpart, Baki Hanma.
The more you eat, the stronger you become.
However, there were exceptions.
For example, Hinata Hyuga from the *Naruto* world.
Hinata could be considered the biggest eater among the "Twelve Rokies" members.
Yet her talent and strength were notably lacking.
As the daughter of the Hyuga clan's leader, she didn't possess the Caged Bird Seal.
She had perfect Byakugan.
However, her ceiling was even lower than that of the commoner Sakura.
Perhaps her talents were slightly misallocated.
Hinata's son, Boruto Uzumaki, and daughter, Himawari Uzumaki, displayed remarkable talent, though. (T/N I hope the author quit doing this)
White Bear also ate cooked food.
For an ordinary pet dog, eating dog food would be more suitable.
But White Bear was no ordinary pet.
Having gone through the "Synth Beast" experience, White Bear had also become a Nen user.
A Nen user doesn't have to be human.
Any living being has the potential to awaken Nen.
The only difference is the difficulty of awakening.
"I'm finished. I'm going out for a bit. Nina, keep training."
"White Bear, stay with Nina."
Ron headed toward the arena on the 200th floor.
At this time, the arena was completely empty.
There were no lights, and no one was around.
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Two figures emerged from behind Ron.
It was Killer Queen and Baki Hanma.
The two Nen beasts advanced toward the arena.
They faced each other in battle.
With that command, the two Nen beasts sprang into action.
Baki Hanma exploded into motion, charging at Killer Queen.
Just as Ron had anticipated, in close-quarters combat, Baki Hanma was indeed far stronger than Killer Queen.
From the very start, he had the upper hand.
