"The testing for the Six-Harmony Sphere is almost complete."
Why had Ron engaged in behavior that, to Hisoka’s eyes, seemed irrational—wasting so much of his aura? The reason was simple.
To Hisoka, this was a match. But to Ron, it was a test. Since it was a test, there was no need to deliberately conserve aura. Otherwise, he would not see the actual effect of the weapon in a real-world scenario. Testing the Six-Harmony Sphere naturally required tremendous aura consumption. And with someone as powerful as Hisoka serving as the target, it was the perfect opportunity.
Ron cancelled his En. Hisoka kept darting back and forth at the perimeter but suddenly paused.
“No more Nen bullet attacks. Has he cancelled his En?”
“Or is this a deliberately designed trap?” Hisoka felt a mix of suspicion and uncertainty.
“Ron...” Killua, seeing Ron suddenly stop using Nen bullets, instinctively felt a bit worried.
Wing adjusted his glasses. “Ron has probably consumed too much aura and can’t maintain the previous level of attack anymore. For a Nen user, the aura in their body has limits. It can’t be used indefinitely.”
“The amount of aura usable in a short time is fixed. Once too much is consumed and there’s not enough aura left, they can’t continue using Nen abilities.”
“If that happens, he will inevitably lose.”
“Ron’s previous battle strategy looked magnificent, spectacular, and highly entertaining, but the aura consumption was simply too great. Now, the advantage belongs to Hisoka. While he may appear battered, in reality, his consumption hasn’t been that high.”
Many spectators thought similarly to Wing, though with slight differences. They were dissatisfied that Ron was no longer attacking as before. It was like watching a movie—once they had seen the climax, the remaining content felt bland. They instinctively assumed that Ron had stopped using such attacks because he no longer had the strength.
Hisoka used the ruins for cover and steadily closed the distance to Ron.
Eighty meters, sixty meters, forty meters... The gap between them shrank steadily until it was less than twenty meters. For Nen users—especially at the level of Ron and Hisoka—this was an extremely close range, crossable in a single instant.
But just as Hisoka was about to launch his sudden attack, Natsu beside Ron moved. He took a deep breath.
“Fire Dragon’s Roar!” A wave of intense flames swept out like a fire dragon, rushing toward Hisoka at incredible speed and covering a vast area. The high temperature scorched the air. Even some spectators could feel the heatwave.
At the same time, another figure appeared at Ron’s side. Uchiha Sasuke. He did not use the Susanoo form of the Rashomon. Instead, he was there so that Natsu could activate the Gravity Game.
Waves of gravity layered onto Hisoka, making his body feel heavier and heavier. “Is that the new Nen Beast’s ability? It can manipulate gravity?”
The gravity amplification was activated by Natsu, but the Gravity Game required both Natsu and Uchiha Sasuke to be present. Hisoka calling it a Nen Beast’s ability wasn’t wrong.
Natsu’s attacks grew even fiercer. Thirty times gravity pressed down on Hisoka, making his movements significantly slower than before.
Ron and Sasuke spread out. “Fire Style: Ryūka no Jutsu! (Great Fire Dragon Technique)” Sasuke formed hand signs. A fire dragon instantly charged at Hisoka. Meanwhile, Ron took out the Six-Harmony Sphere and launched a flame Nen bullet.
In an instant, Hisoka had to face simultaneous attacks from three directions—effectively battling three A-level Nen users. The power of these attacks was far from weak. Even with Hisoka’s strength, it was impossible to either block them completely or dodge them all. He was bound to be hit sooner or later.
The key point was that Natsu was immune to all fire damage. Uchiha Sasuke’s Fire Style and Ron’s flame Nen bullets could not harm Natsu at all. Therefore, Ron and Sasuke could direct their attacks straight toward Natsu without worry. Not only would Natsu not be harmed, but he could also absorb Ron and Sasuke’s flames to replenish his aura.
Hisoka found himself in an extremely difficult position and could only keep retreating. At this point, Hisoka also realized something.
So this was Ron’s true strength. The earlier display must have been a deliberate concealment or perhaps a test. Now that the testing phase had ended, he was unleashing his full power, aiming to completely overwhelm Hisoka.
"Such power, such ability... exhilarating! Truly excellent!" Hisoka became even more excited.
The spectators were visibly stunned. Just moments ago, it had seemed like Ron was nearly exhausted, and it was Hisoka’s turn to take over the fight. But why had Ron suddenly regained control, and even more dominantly than before?
Nina and the others smiled. Killua felt relieved while Gon cheered for Ron from the stands. Just a moment ago, Wing had told Killua and Gon that Ron might soon fall behind, but the situation had developed in the exact opposite direction.
Under Ron’s attacks, Hisoka was already near the edge of the arena. If he retreated a few more steps, he would fall out of the arena and lose the match. Even if the fight itself wasn’t settled, this battle was officially a Floor Master challenge. At that point, Hisoka would have no choice but to stop the fight.
"I'm already excited. How could I surrender now? That would be too boring, and how could I miss such an opportunity?" Hisoka suddenly stopped dodging Natsu’s attacks and allowed himself to be hit.
"Bungee Gum!"
A mass of red appeared at the collision point between Natsu and Hisoka, and the two—man and Nen Beast—became stuck together. Flames burned Hisoka, yet he showed no fear. More red lines spread out, binding Hisoka and Natsu even more tightly.
In the next moment, Hisoka slammed his hand down onto the floor.
Bang!
The entire arena shook as countless pieces of rubble flew into the air, and more importantly, a net—visible only to Nen users, or more precisely, only to those who had learned Gyo—sprang up from beneath the ground.
