~4 min read 652 words

In the next moment, Pride flashed a sinister smile, his lips splitting wide as he pulled a syringe from his pocket.

A glint of light flickered and vanished in his eyes.

Inside the syringe lay pitch blackness, as if filled with ink, exceptionally dark and profound.

Clearly, this would not be so-called ink.

"Haa~"

Pride exhaled a cloud of turbid breath, then, amidst the crowd's bewildered gazes, resolutely jabbed it into his own arm.

The ink-like black "liquid" surged into his body all at once, beginning to rapidly remodel his physique.

In an instant, wisps of gloomy black mist emanated from him, and his entire person radiated a chilling aura.

That was 【Resentment】!

This item was also a prototype developed solely by members of the 【Ching Bing Team】.

Using this, they could arbitrarily transform Nen users into Resentment users.

Normally, this is an irreversible process.

Once injected, the Nen within a Nen user's body will turn into Resentment, and their personality will change drastically.

Personality, ability system... all will undergo massive transformations, and due to instability, there will even be a risk to life.

Such a price is exchanged for a huge boost in power!

【Resentment】 is different from 【Nen】.

【Nen】 is the result of long-term willpower training, equivalent to a path walked steadily, step by step, print by print.

【Conditions and Vows】 is a shortcut method of 【Nen】, but with loss comes gain, so overall it is balanced.

【Resentment】 is different.

【Resentment】 occurs when a person holds extreme emotions, making a certain vow to exchange for power they should not possess.

If the vow is not fulfilled within a limited time, there is a high probability of life-threatening danger.

This is an extremely extreme ability.

Therefore, Pride had never thought of using this syringe, planning to keep it as a last-resort item.

He never expected the moment to use it to arrive so quickly.

Luo Ge gazed silently, his attention fixed on the syringe Pride was using.

【Resentment Potion?】

Luo Ge remembered this item appearing in the original movie.

Remnants of the 【Ching Bing Team】 used this to turn a group of arena owners in the Sky Arena into puppets controlled by 【Resentment】.

Perhaps what Pride used was a predecessor of the 【Resentment Potion】.

"Ahhh!!"

Pride felt his body as if constantly splitting; the unbearable pain made him let out a terrifying roar.

Amidst Pride's roar, endless Resentment, like the surging Yellow River, began to condense.

Black lines composed of Resentment intertwined and wrapped around each other.

Black Resentment coiled around him like eighteen pythons, and a mighty aura swept outward in all directions.

Everyone present was astonished by this energy.

Resentment is energy composed almost entirely of all negative emotions in the world, including but not limited to anger, horror, eeriness, death...

"This... what kind of ability is this?"

"It looks nothing like Nen."

Machi showed hesitation on her face; she had never seen such a thing.

With crimson pupils reflecting Pride's eerie form, Biscuit spoke with a solemn expression:

"Nen is essentially life energy emanating from within the human body."

"It comes from the fundamental source within the human body and is a very normal ability."

"But Resentment is different; one could say the two are completely opposite."

"Resentment is when one is filled with countless negative emotions, using obsession over something as the foundation to wield this ability."

"This is an ability inherently opposed to Nen abilities!"

Biscuit knew that the scene she witnessed might be even more important than the reappearance of the 【Ching Bing Team】.

Pride's transformation means the 【Ching Bing Team】 possesses the ability to transform Nen users into Resentment users!

This is extremely important intelligence.

Pride suddenly raised his head; his pitch-black eyes were terrifying, his appearance as if draped in a heavy black coat.

His strength had multiplied several times over.

This was a vow he made with his life—definitely kill Luo Ge!
