Boom! A strong wind suddenly blew in one direction, and the next second, a large tree blocking his path was destroyed and fell to the ground.
Netero, who had been on guard, managed to avoid the sudden attack. Even if his body were as hard as steel, he wouldn't dare block the kick just now, at least not without his Aura.
From within the dust that blocked his vision, Netero saw something that made him unable to hold back a smile. His Aura is rough but strong. It is undeveloped, yes, but its potential is extraordinary.
"Ives." He said in a light and welcoming tone.
Walking forward, Ives snorted. Seeing Biscuit lying on the ground unconscious, his anger was ignited.
Her current condition made him feel sorry and angry at the damn old man.
"What's wrong with you, old man? Do you really want to hurt us?" He asked, gritting his teeth. His Aura radiated from his body and was still expanding.
"Hmm, maybe. If both of you can't handle it, then it's better to just give up. I don't accept weak students," He replied mockingly.
"Tch, damn you." He teleported before Netero and launched a concentrated punch towards his stomach.
'Ryu?' He muttered with a hint of surprise. Netero took a stance and then concentrated his Aura. He wanted to see how hard a punch Ives could land.
When the hit landed on him, his body flew backward for two meters. "Not bad," He said with a whistle. He never expected that this young man would manage to learn such an advanced technique on his own. He could see that he did it by feeling, meaning he still didn't fully realize what he had done.
For example, Gon managed to master Zetsu without even knowing Nen existed, which is why he is one of the geniuses.
Glancing to the left, Netero dodged another attack and then quickly counterattacked.
Running after the young man's movements, Netero launched several consecutive attacks while trying to corner him.
Left, right, down... Ives managed to read and dodge each of his blows skillfully. He was shocked. When did he become this fast? Since when could he read Netero's movements without struggling? Not wanting to overthink it, he focused on the old man again.
The fight continued for several hours. The training ground cracks, rocks were crushed into gravel by punches and kicks, and trees were uprooted by their extreme attacks.
As the sun set, Ives fell to the ground, gasping for breath, while Netero remained standing, this time with a satisfied smile. Unlike Biscuit and Ives, who were battered, he looked much better, with just a bit of blood dripping from the corner of his lips.
