Chapter 155

【However, it seems not yet fully perfected, with quite a few flaws remaining.】

Bisuke took a sip of her drink, silently critiquing Feitan's Nen ability.

For now, the only thing worth praising is its high power; there are no other advantages.

At this level of power, Luo Ge would find it effortless to block it.

Luo Ge's expression remained calm; facing the scorching sun, he raised his right hand, aligning his palm with the fireball, while terrifying Nen blocked in front of him.

It gathered into a pink wall resembling a barrier.

The blazing sun struck the pink wall directly.

Strangely, the blazing sun was absorbed into the wall rather than shattering it, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

【It was absorbed?!】

【How is this possible! 623】

Feitan's eyes bulged with rage, his pair of sinister eyes instantly widening; he simply could not accept the scene before him.

His trump card, unleashed with all his might, was erased silently and without a trace?

First, his speed was crushed, then his ultimate move failed; this caused Feitan's confidence to collapse completely.

But what he did not know was that Luo Ge's techniques had only just begun.

Silver light flashed across the surface of the pink wall, which seemed to contain immense energy, ready to erupt at a touch.

A calm voice rang out.

"Mirror Reflection."

Instantly, the pink wall suddenly erupted with a massive pillar of fire; like a volcanic eruption, a terrifying column of magma surged forth.

The fire pillar, tens of meters in diameter, resembled a fire dragon, facing the stunned Feitan head-on.

The fiery red light illuminated his gloomy face.

Then it completely engulfed his consciousness.

Only at the very last moment did Feitan suddenly realize the truth.

The gap in strength between him and Luo Ge was an uncrossable chasm!

【Mirror Reflection】: Endure special damage received from an enemy, then counterattack with doubled power.

The massive fire dragon rampaged wildly, not only burning Feitan to ash but also flying into the sky, forming a path of fire.

Straight to the clouds!

……

In the forest,

Amok was advancing toward where Luo Ge and the others were fighting; before even arriving, he caught sight of that shocking fire dragon in the sky.

"This... this..."

"Could it be... Luo Ge?!"

Amok stared blankly at the sky; the fire dragon reflected in his dark pupils, standing out exceptionally prominently.

He had never seen such an exaggerated attack, but if he had to think of one person, he would subconsciously assume it was Luo Ge.

……

As the flames dispersed,

the battlefield returned to calm once more.

However, the air temperature remained high; it would take some time to return to its original level.

Luo Ge waved his hand casually; a cool breeze carrying frost swept through, instantly turning the stiflingly hot environment refreshing.

【Frosty Wind】

Only now did Bisuke and the other two women snap out of it, looking at Luo Ge in astonishment.

What exactly had they just witnessed?

Bisuke stood up and asked Luo Ge curiously, "Luo Ge, can that move of yours just now reflect an opponent's attack back at them?"

"It seems the power was even doubled?"

Luo Ge nodded, saying nothing more.

"Hiss—"

Bisuke gasped, truly feeling like prying Luo Ge's head open to see exactly how different he was from others.

With just a casual move, he unleashed an ability with terrifying effects.

Not only could it reflect an enemy's attack, but it could also double the power.

Just imagining it made her shudder with fear. (cbfi)

And this was only one of Luo Ge's many abilities!

Luo Ge smiled.

Just 【Mirror Reflection】was nothing special.

He could easily make that power multiply several times over.

For instance, if he had an Eevee use 【Help】, and then he used any item himself, the power would become even more terrifying.

Machi and Shizuku were only briefly surprised, then quickly returned to calm.

In their hearts, Luo Ge had long been the most powerful existence; nothing he did was worth surprising them.

"Truly a monster."

Bisuke shook her head, sighing from the bottom of her heart.

The three people on the field had all died miserably, one worse than the next.

Shizuku's death was the easiest; he was merely slit at the throat.

Finks was sliced in half by a single blade, and Feitan was burned until not even ash remained.

Luo Ge simply tidied up the area, leaving only a mess behind, which left many who arrived later utterly baffled.

Next, he would most likely face retaliation from the Spider.

With Kurapika's intellect, finding the culprit would be effortless; besides, he himself had no intention of hiding.

In the original story, the Zoldyck family head, that is, Killua's father, Silva.

He had merely killed one member of the Phantom Troupe, yet faced the entire Phantom Troupe's targeting.

Although he himself feared no retaliation, for the Zoldyck family, which specialized in precise task division, this single job counted as a loss.

If the money received was only for killing one person, then they would only kill one; killing even one more would count as a loss.

Not to mention facing the targeting of the entire group.

But Luo Ge did not care about losses.

If the Spider dared to come knocking, Luo Ge would not mind turning them all into Pokémon experience points.

……

Over the next seven days,

Luo Ge and the other two were like on vacation, staying on the island, occasionally heading to the beach to find a few top-tier gem crabs.

Others also knew the terror of the three, so no one dared to provoke them or try to snatch anything from them.

What they never expected was that Luo Ge and the other two turned the tense and thrilling exam into a camping vacation.

The three of them each had a large tent, sleeping very comfortably at night, unlike others who had to endure mosquito bites.

Every day they had big fish and meat, as if they carried an extra-dimensional space with them, able to pull out various ingredients from thin air.

Thus, seven days later, Luo Ge and the other two logically followed and passed the exam.

During these seven days, Luo Ge also acquired several precious items, leaving him extremely excited.

First, and what he considered the most valuable item.

【Key Stone】!

【Mega Pendant】: A pendant containing unknown power, allowing a Pokémon carrying a Mega Stone to undergo Mega Evolution.

The pendant itself held no value; what was truly useful was the seven-colored gem embedded within it.

That is the 【Key Stone】.

The Key Stone is an item for trainers to wear; as long as a Pokémon possesses the corresponding Mega Stone, it has the chance to undergo 【Mega Evolution】.

Also called 【Mega Evolution】.

Not every Pokémon has a Mega Evolution form.

Currently, the only one in his possession with a Mega Evolution form is the evolution of Gastly—Gengar.

Although it might not be usable in the short term, after obtaining the 【Mega Pendant】, he would sooner or later have the chance to undergo Mega Evolution.

The second item is the 【Dawn Stone】.

The 【Dawn Stone】, like the 【Dusk Stone】 and 【Moon Stone】, are items used for evolution.

They can cause specific Pokémon to evolve.

Similarly, it is an item unusable for now, but perhaps one day in the future there will be an opportunity to use it.

With Bisuke's announcement, the third exam finally reached its end.

Including Luo Ge and the other two, plus Amok, only seven people passed Bisuke's trial and successfully advanced to the fourth exam.

This was also the final exam of the year.

……

On the airship,

In a certain room.

"Ho ho ho, seven people entered the final exam?"

"The quality of this year's candidates is very high~"

"If we eliminate half, it seems a bit wasteful?"

Netero flipped through the files of each candidate; unsurprisingly, every examiner gave Luo Ge a very high evaluation.

Sitting opposite him were the examiners from the first three rounds.

Pariston, Kubi, and Bisuke.

"No wonder he is my grand-disciple; you all hold him in very high regard."

Netero said with a smile.

Grand-disciple?

Kubi's expression changed, revealing surprise, feeling as though he understood something.

If Luo Ge is Netero's grand-disciple, then that means...

Thinking this, Kubi turned his head to look at Bisuke, who was admiring the latest edition of a handsome men's magazine beside him.

Bisuke put down the magazine and said proudly, "Of course; just look at who their Master is."

"My judgment is first-class."

【As expected, Luo Ge is actually Bisuke's disciple】

【And from her words, the other two girls are also her disciples】

Kubi silently clicked his tongue in amazement.

The three candidates he marveled at were all Bisuke's disciples, Netero's grand-disciples.

Pariston beside him remained silent, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.

【Grand-disciple, huh...】
