Between Two Worlds: Nen and Haki

This move was indeed very similar to Zane's Way of the Soldier: Killing Fist - Moving Like Thunder.

However, Moving Like Thunder was relatively mild; as long as it wasn't overdone, it initially only placed a significant burden on the body and stamina.

In terms of effectiveness.

'No wonder this organization has always been suppressed by the Zoldycks. The price is so high, yet the burst of power doesn't even reach the level of my Moving Like Thunder.'

Zane shook his head.

Perhaps the Seven Star Life-Pointing Art had been passed down in this so-called world's second-best assassin organization for a long time.

But a long heritage didn't necessarily mean it was powerful.

There is a type of person called a genius.

There is a type of experience called opportunity.

These two often bring about results known as miracles.

Knowing the old man's past, Zane wasn't particularly surprised that the Moving Like Thunder developed by him would surpass this Seven Star Life-Pointing Art.

Of course, while it couldn't compare to Moving Like Thunder, the value of this Seven Star Life-Pointing Art was still quite high.

At the very least, it could be given to the members of the Hunting Team to learn.

After all, when facing a desperate situation, overdrawing one's life force is certainly a better option than death.

While Zane was pondering the Seven Star Life-Pointing Art, Killua was drawn to certain changes in him.

"Zane, were you always wearing that headband to hide this scar?"

His attention had been occupied by the attack earlier, but now that things had settled down, Killua noticed that Zane wasn't wearing his headband. There was a scar on his forehead that looked like a golden dragon pattern.

This prompted him to ask out of curiosity.

"A scar? Oh, you mean this."

Killua's voice snapped Zane out of his thoughts. At first, he didn't realize what the boy meant by a scar and subconsciously touched his forehead.

But as his fingers brushed against his closed third eye, he realized what Killua was calling a scar.

"This isn't a scar; it's a secret of mine," Zane said, acting mysterious.

"A secret? Can you tell me?" Killua blinked, looking at Zane with expectant eyes.

"Since it's a secret, I can't just tell anyone. How about this: if you're willing to demonstrate your family's assassination techniques for me, I'll tell you." Having whetted the boy's appetite, Zane immediately revealed his true intentions.

Killua's expression turned deadpan again. "Are you trying to trick a kid? I'm not Gon."

"How can you call it trickery? This is an equivalent exchange. Trust me, this secret is guaranteed to shock you later. You definitely won't feel like you got the short end of the stick," Zane said righteously.

Killua thought about it.

Based on what he knew of Zane, the man wasn't the type to talk big.

Since he said it was a secret, there was bound to be something to it.

Besides, just demonstrating his family's assassination techniques once shouldn't be much of an issue.

It wasn't like he was teaching them to him. If someone could learn them just by watching once, then his family's techniques would be worthless.

"I'll trust you this once then."

As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart; Killua, who looked like a kitten, possessed a cat-like curiosity.

He finally could not resist the temptation of the secret.

Without wasting any time.

Right there in the ruins of the church, Killua demonstrated the assassination techniques he knew.

It had to be said that despite his young age, Killua's talent truly lived up to his reputation as the Zoldyck family's recognized heir.

During the demonstration, he showed not only the Silent Step, Rhythm Echo, and Snake Awakens seen in the original story, but also several assassination techniques that hadn't appeared yet.

Zane watched intently from the side.

"Alright, I've shown you everything I know. Now, tell me the secret," Killua said immediately after finishing, staring straight at Zane.

Zane chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

With that, he leaned down slightly and pointed to the golden dragon pattern on his forehead.

"Look, this is its secret!"

As he spoke, Zane slowly opened the third eye on his forehead.

A vertical eye gleaming with a golden luster appeared in Killua's vision, making his jaw drop slightly.

"An eye?" Killua looked incredulous.

Zane nodded slightly. "Exactly. This isn't some scar, but my eye. I used the headband to hide it before to avoid attracting attention and causing trouble."

"Huh? This is a real eye? Not a Nen ability?" Killua was even more shocked.

Although Zane had already displayed a Nen ability that seemed like space manipulation, seeing the third eye made him instinctively think it was another manifestation of a Nen ability Zane had developed.

But Zane's words clearly indicated that the third eye on his forehead was a genuine eye.

A human with three eyes?

"You're not some kind of Magical Beast in disguise, are you?" Killua asked with a strange expression.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he was given a sharp flick to the head by Zane before he could react.

"Ow!" Killua yelped, clutching his head in pain.

"Watch your mouth. What do you mean by 'Magical Beast in disguise'? I'm a perfectly standard human," Zane said irritably.

The Three-Eye Tribe might be a divergent human race, but they were still humans.

"Fine, my bad. I just didn't expect someone as gifted as you to exist in this world. But is this eye just a normal one?" Killua couldn't help but ask.

How could a normal person have three eyes?

This extra third eye clearly looked far from ordinary.

"That's another secret. Kid, you've lost your bargaining chips. You won't be getting any more secrets out of me today," Zane laughed smugly, hands on his hips.

"You really were tricking a kid!" Infuriated and embarrassed, Killua rushed forward to pick a fight with Zane.

"Zane is here?"

Inside the room, Gon, who was practicing Ken in the living room, looked at Killua sitting on the opposite sofa in surprise.

"Mm... yeah, and he was targeted by assassins too," Killua said, grabbing an apple and taking a bite.

To Gon's astonishment, he briefly recounted the events of the day.

Meanwhile.

Not just Zushi, who was also training beside Gon.

Even Wing, who had been reading nearby, was drawn in by Killua's story and had put down his book at some point.

"Killua, is the Zane you mentioned by any chance the Crime Buster?" Once Killua finished, before Gon could speak, Wing adjusted his glasses and asked.

"Crime Buster?" Killua, Gon, and Zushi were all surprised by the unfamiliar term Wing used.

Seeing their confusion, Wing took a moment to explain. "The 'Crime Buster' I'm referring to is a Crime Hunter who recently appeared in the Hunter Association. Over the past few months, he has eliminated numerous high-profile criminals, including some as dangerous as A-rank criminals."

"So, Master Wing, you think Zane is this Crime Buster?" Killua asked curiously.

At Heavens Arena.

Because Gon had become a Nen user ahead of time, their experiences were a bit different, but they hadn't strayed too far from the original path.

For example, while climbing the ranks, Killua and Gon still met the master-disciple duo of Wing and Zushi.

At the same time, seeing that Gon was just a novice Nen user yet was trying to guide Killua in learning Nen, the somewhat pedantic Wing couldn't help but offer his guidance.

The result was Killua's current form of address.

Gon felt he wasn't qualified to teach Killua, and Killua didn't want to fall behind Gon, so he accepted Wing as his teacher.

Of course.

Although Gon already had Menchi as a teacher and didn't formally take Wing as his master.

He had still been receiving guidance from Wing alongside Killua over the past few days.
