<strong><b>Chapter 44: Training n x Practice of </b></strong><strong><em><b><i>Ren</i></b></em></strong>
“Why did you take so long toe back?”
Hearing movement, Biscuit casually asked without looking up.
“I spent some time finding prey!” Luo Lin walked out of the forest, showing off the prey he had caught.
It was two brightly colored wild chickens.
“These two are the tastiest of all the prey I’ve eaten recently, but since they’re more active during the day, it took some time to find their nests.”
Luo Lin said with a grin.
“Oh, they’re rainbow chickens. I didn’t know this forest had any living here. Nice work.” Biscuit’s eyes lit up at the sight of the two wild chickens.
“Heh, well, it’s the first meal I’m cooking for my teacher!” Luo Lin handed the chickens over to Biscuit.
“So, the first meal you’re cooking for your teacher, and you’re having the teacher cook it?” Biscuit raised an eyebrow, but she still reached out and took the two wild chickens.
“It’s just that I know my cooking skills are terrible!” Luo Lin scratched his head in embarrassment.
The reason he knew these chickens were tasty was that, despite his poor cooking skills, thest wild chicken he had cooked had turned out quite delicious.
“Humph, true enough. Your cooking would only ruin these rainbow chickens. Honestly, even me cooking them feels like a bit of a waste.” Biscuit said, smiling as she held the two wild chickens.
“Are these chickens really that precious?” Luo Lin asked in mild surprise.
“Of course they are! In the neighboring country, they’re a protected species, second-level. You’d get locked up for life if you killed one!” Biscuit exined, deftly preparing the rainbow chickens.
Luo Lin: “…”
Locked up for life?
Even though he had crossed into another world, his instincts from living in aw-abiding society made Luo Lin feel a bit nervous upon hearing this.
“Don’t worry! It’s fine.” Biscuit, noticing Luo Lin’s thoughts, casually reassured him. “They’re a second-level protected species in the neighboring country, not here.”
“This forest is connected to the neighboring country, but we’re far from the border here. Who knows what hardships these chickens went through to cross over.”
Biscuit added with a sigh as she worked.
Luo Lin: “…”
Why do I suddenly feel so guilty?
…
“Wow, this smells amazing!”
Luo Lin was overjoyed.
Even though Biscuit had said cooking these rainbow chickens was a waste, her cooking made them taste ten times better than when Luo Lin had prepared them.
“I’m stuffed!” Luo Lin patted his stomach as hey back in the campsite, gazing up at the starry sky.
“So beautiful!”
The vast starry sky was a sight Luo Lin had never seen in his previous life.
Yes.
Though he had been in this forest for a few days, Luo Lin had never taken the time to leisurely gaze at the night sky like this.
In the previous days, after eating, he’d either start training or meditating.
“Alright, you’re not in a position to rx and stargaze just yet!” Biscuit suddenly interrupted, returning from washing up and snapping Luo Lin out of his thoughts.
“There’s still training to do!”
“More training?” Luo Lin was taken aback.
“What? You want to rest already?” Biscuit raised an eyebrow.
Luo Lin immediately jumped up. “No, no, training is important! Training is important!”
Biscuit wasn’t surprised by Luo Lin’s response.
Even though they hadn’t spent much time together, she had already figured out that the guy in front of her was aplete training maniac.
Otherwise, Biscuit wouldn’t have interrupted Luo Lin’s stargazing. If she didn’t understand him, she might have sat beside him to enjoy the stars. Wouldn’t that have been a beautiful moment?
…
“The martial arts training during the day should be enough for you to process today, so tonight we’ll focus on <em><i>Nen</i></em>training.”
Biscuit said seriously to Luo Lin.
“Normally, I would teach you the basic four techniques: <em><i>Ten</i></em>, <em><i>Zetsu</i></em>, <em><i>Ren</i></em>, and <em><i>Hatsu</i></em>, to strengthen your foundation while increasing your familiarity and control over <em><i>Nen</i></em>, but you…”
Biscuit recalled how, earlier that day, Luo Lin had awakened his <em><i>Nen</i></em>and immediately used several advanced techniques.
Though his usage was rough and inefficient, wasting a lot of <em><i>Nen</i></em>, it was clear that Luo Lin had an extraordinary talent for controlling <em><i>Nen</i></em>.
“I’m more and more convinced this kid is a freak!” Biscuit sighed internally before looking seriously at Luo Lin.
“But you’re different. Your task is to focus entirely on practicing <em><i>Ren</i></em>. Within one week, you need to extend the duration of <em><i>Ren</i></em>to more than half an hour. Only then can you keep up with the rest of the training n. Understood?”
Biscuit’s face was stern.
“Focus entirely on practicing <em><i>Ren</i></em>.” Luo Lin was slightly surprised.
He hadn’t expected Biscuit’s training n to focus on this.
Indeed, training <em><i>Ren</i></em>is one of the fastest ways for a <em><i>Nen</i></em>user to grow their <em><i>Nen</i></em>abilities.
Bothtent aura and visible aura grow at an extraordinary rate during the extreme practice of <em><i>Ren</i></em>.
But this wasn’t the conventional path.
In the Chimera Ant arc, Biscuit wouldn’t have pushed Gon and Killua into such extreme training unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even during the <em><i>Greed Ind</i></em>arc, when facing the Bomber, Biscuit hadn’t made them undergo such extreme training.
However…
“I understand!” Luo Lin didn’t hesitate to agree.
After all, he had already promised to follow Biscuit’s training npletely.
Besides…
Luo Lin was also eager to increase the strength of his <em><i>Nen</i></em>!
