Ron’s strength had been witnessed by these Floor Masters before, though not often. They knew Ron was very powerful, but exactly how powerful, they could not tell. As for Hisoka, his previous opponents had been too weak. Hisoka had been merely entertaining himself, so it was impossible to discern much. Now that Ron and Hisoka were fighting, the Floor Masters finally saw the truth.
Ron and Hisoka’s strength, even among Floor Masters, was absolutely at the top tier. The very pinnacle.
“Ron’s strength... I didn’t expect he’s already grown to such a terrifying level I wonder if he’ll participate in the next Battle Tournament?”
“If he does, could he pose a threat to the Master?”
“And Hisoka... good thing Hisoka challenged Ron. If Hisoka had challenged any of us, none of us would have had a chance of winning.”
The Floor Masters present were mostly middle to lower ranked. This “us” naturally referred to those mid and lower ranked Floor Masters.
Sadaso showed a trace of yearning in his eyes but quickly steadied himself. “I am who I am. This is beyond my reach. I’ll just focus on doing my best. I won’t expect to reach the level of Mr. Ron or Hisoka in this lifetime.” As this thought took root, Sadaso’s mindset calmed considerably.
A figure with long purple hair sat in a corner, her mood somewhat complicated. Machi’s mind flashed back to the Kurta Clan massacre years ago and Ron’s performance during that time. Back then, Ron’s strength was nowhere near what it was now.
“I am completely no match for him anymore. Shalnark’s judgment was correct. Ron’s talent was worth inviting into the Troupe.”
“He might even be stronger than Uvogin or Nobunaga. Inviting him now might be already too late. Would someone who has grown to this level on his own even want to join the Troupe?
Killua looked toward Wing. “Wing-sensei, can you tell who has the upper hand now?”
“It’s Mr. Ron,” Wing said. “During their earlier exchanges, Ron held the advantage. That Nen Beast constrained Hisoka, and those Nen bullets also caused Hisoka some trouble. That’s why Hisoka destroyed the arena—to deny Ron such a comfortable environment for attack.”
“But that small disadvantage and advantage won’t decide the outcome of the fight.”
“Let’s keep watching.”
As a Nen user, Wing’s expression remained as calm as ever. Yet watching the fight, he couldn’t help but imagine himself in either Ron’s or Hisoka’s place. Whether he put himself in Ron’s position or Hisoka’s, it seemed extremely difficult, incredibly challenging, and very hard to secure victory.
The likelihood of losing was very high.

Ron observed the changes on the stage. “So this is your way of affecting my use of Nen bullets.”
He once again infused aura into the Six-Harmony Sphere.
“Explosion!” “Explosion!” “Explosion!” Three explosive-type Nen bullets appeared one after another, blasting toward three different directions—not aimed at Hisoka but at the arena ruins themselves. Massive shockwaves erupted. Soon, a relatively flat area was cleared with Ron at the center, spanning over ten meters in diameter.
But Ron now showed no signs of an increased heartbeat, rapid breathing, or even sweating. What did that mean? It meant that all the previous exertion had barely affected him.
“Do all Nen Beast-type users have such terrifying aura reserves?” Hisoka could only think along these lines.
Hisoka had seen Emission-type Nen users in the Phantom Troupe before—Franklin, for example, a very powerful Nen user. Hisoka had no interest in Franklin but acknowledged his strength.
Among the Zoldycks, Hisoka also knew Illumi. He had always appreciated the talents found in their family. However, while Franklin was strong and Illumi was skilled in his own right, neither had such a massive aura capacity. That Ron, despite sharing the same bloodline as Illumi, possessed so much more was unexpected.
Hisoka did not rest for long and cautiously began approaching Ron. As soon as he stepped into Ron’s En,
“Explosion!”
A Nen bullet shot toward him.
Bang!
A massive crater appeared in the ground.
“He spotted me? No, he has no line of sight. It’s En. This En’s radius... it’s already over a hundred meters. His aura reserves are big enough to maintain such an En?”
“Truly extravagant.”
The larger and more sensitive the En, the more aura it consumed.
“Let’s see just how much aura you really have.” Hisoka continuously moved along the edge of Ron’s En.
Ron pretended not to understand Hisoka’s intentions. One after another, Nen bullets flew toward Hisoka. At this moment, Ron was like a mobile artillery unit—a magical machine gun—constantly bombarding Hisoka’s position, giving him no chance to close the distance. After firing exactly one hundred Nen bullets, Ron stopped. “That should be enough.”
Hisoka’s eyes flickered. He hid behind a slab of stone.
“You really don’t want me getting close, do you? But why would you rather clear out an area like this than summon a second Nen Beast?”
If it were an ordinary Emission-type Nen user, Hisoka would have assumed they simply didn’t want him to approach their main body. But Ron was different. Hisoka knew very well that Ron’s methods went far beyond what he was currently displaying. Even when facing the Six Herds before, Ron had shown even greater strength.
Natsu returned to Ron’s side.
“En!”
Centred on Ron, an En with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters expanded. The entire area within the En was now under Ron’s perception.
“There!”
The moment Ron sensed Hisoka within his En, he immediately launched a Nen bullet.
“Explosion!” The bullet struck. Hisoka quickly sprang aside to dodge. But then the second Nen bullet came. Then the third, the fourth... a continuous bombardment targeted Hisoka.
Finally, Hisoka’s figure exited Ron’s En. Hisoka’s breathing had become a little heavy. He couldn’t withstand Ron’s Nen bullet attacks directly and had to keep dodging. Yet even when dodging, the impact force of the bullets still struck him partially. Moreover, passive dodging itself consumed a lot of stamina.
“Ron’s aura reserves... how can they be so vast?” Hisoka hid behind a piece of rubble and glanced toward Ron’s position. It was clear. Ron’s condition still looked excellent, as if he hadn’t used much aura at all. But the reality was that Ron had already used many abilities—maintaining an A-level strength Nen Beast for a long time and launching so many highly destructive Nen bullets must have consumed a lot of his aura.
