Chapter 38 Potential Threats
Just as Eligi had guessed, the person who did this was Machi, a logistics staff member of the troupe, a woman with very intelligent eyes.
Maggie did this purely out of curiosity—what kind of person was the one the Elders had issued a high-level kill order for?
The result surprised Maggie. It was the first time she had ever seen someone develop a mind beast that could think like a living person, and its combat power seemed to be quite strong.
I wonder if the leader, Chrollo, will be interested if he finds out.
Chrollo, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, has the Nen ability to steal other people's Nen, so theoretically he should be able to steal Erigi's Nen ability.
However, Kuroro's theft conditions are still very strict. Unless the person is subdued, it is difficult to steal the enemy's ability in battle.
Furthermore, since Erigi knows about Chrollo's Nen ability, it makes the theft even more difficult.
"How's it going? Did you see them?" Hisoka asked curiously from the edge of a rooftop.
Some of the information about Eligi was provided by Hisoka, who is capable of doing anything to enjoy the Devil Fruit.
The bottom line of being a decent human being is far less high than Ailiji thought.
Machi replied expressionlessly, "I saw it. It is indeed a very amazing Nen ability. It is somewhat similar to the old Number Four, but it should be stronger than Number Four."
Number Four, Hisoka's current position. Hisoka took over after killing Number Four in the Phantom Troupe.
"Hehehe, so what are you planning to do now? Are you going to notify the leader to hunt him down?" Hisoka deliberately steered the conversation in this direction, hoping that Chrollo would make a trip to the Heavens Arena for this matter.
Maybe we can create a one-on-one scene with Kuroro, and after killing Kuroro, we can hunt Eligi.
"I'm here to inform you that the Phantom Troupe has an event in September, and all members must be present." Machi did not answer Hisoka's question.
Hisoka, seeing this, didn't press further, but instead fiddled with his phone and said, "I understand, I won't be absent. I have a battle in a few days, are you interested in staying and watching? I might need your treatment then."
"We'll see when the time comes!" Maggie said, turning and leaving the rooftop with her bag.
After seeing Machi leave for a moment, Hisoka sent out a message that he had already prepared.
The Phantom Troupe leader is interested in your Nen ability. He can steal other people's Nen, so perhaps we can cooperate (*￣︶￣)]
--------
On the other hand, upon seeing the message from Hisoka, Eligi's heart sank slightly, but he didn't have much doubt about the message Hisoka sent.
With Eriji's current strength, he really doesn't have much confidence in defeating the Phantom Troupe. The only ones who can truly contend with the Phantom Troupe are Kakashi and Tsunade. Hidan can probably stall one of them.
If Gaara unleashes his power, he could hold off two of them, but that would only be five members.
But the Phantom Troupe has thirteen members!
Eligi sent Hisoka an "agree" emoji, then thought to himself, "Looks like I need to get to floor 200 quickly, then do a ten-pull!"
Currently, there are five people who haven't reached level 200: Gaara, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Erigi. If all five of them reach level 200, they can complete a high-level 2 billion Jenny 10-pull.
As for Tsunade, she said she wouldn't participate in such ring battles, and Eligi didn't force her.
If I can get ten Jonin-level characters in a ten-pull, then my team will have eighteen people. When we really encounter the Phantom Troupe, I won't be afraid of them.
With this in mind, Eligi decided to quickly climb the Sky Arena to raise the two billion Jenny he had set aside.
So, Ailiji and his group used the same method as before, staggering the floors as they climbed the stairs.
Gaara and Kiba climbed two floors a day, from the 100th floor to the 120th floor, while Eligi and Hinata climbed to the 110th floor, and Shino waited in place for a whole day.
Thus, the three groups of people spent a total of six days climbing up to the 200th floor.
Because Eligi's Nen foundation is quite solid, and he has also mastered the knowledge of advancing Nen abilities, among which Condensation is very useful in battle.
Therefore, the group of five did not encounter any difficulties in the competition, and they all managed to reach the 200 mark very smoothly.
After registering on the 200th floor and waiting for a day, Eligi received 2 billion jenny. It can only be said that the efficiency of the Sky Arena is quite astonishing.
Furthermore, Sky Arena must have discovered Eligi's deliberate money-spending, since the two billion was all transferred into one account.
However, since Eligi wasn't involved in the manipulation, the arena chose to turn a blind eye and pretend they didn't see it.
"Two billion jini, I've never been this rich before, but it won't be mine anytime soon!" Eligi touched his bank card, feeling a little regretful.
If it weren't for the pressure from the guild, Erigi might have only taken a small cut after receiving that much money.
But now, given the circumstances, we have no choice but to go all out.
Bisky was also watching curiously from the side. Thinking that ten different Nen Beasts might appear later, the scene was still somewhat anticipated. She just wondered if any handsome guys would appear.
"Elige, hurry up, stop dawdling here," Bisky urged, flicking her fingers.
"Twenty-two!" Eligi instinctively uttered the number.
Bisky nodded in satisfaction: "It seems you haven't forgotten what you learned during these few days of rest."
Eligi was speechless. Why had he been resting these past few days when he was supposed to play two matches every day? The wait before the matches was incredibly tedious.
Eligi harbored some resentment, but naturally, she couldn't voice it; Bisky wasn't the kind of person who would reason with you.
Eliji placed the bank card on the book and then silently counted to ten.
Soon the bank card disappeared, and then ten banknotes inside the book began to change color: eight glowed blue and two glowed purple.
Seeing the colors in the book made Eliji feel a little sad, because there was no golden legendary item. He should have just done the single pulls one by one.
"Is this a bad outcome?" Bisky asked curiously from the side.
But you don’t even need to ask, just by looking at Eligi’s expression, you know the result wasn’t very good.
Eric flipped through the pages, but saw no reaction, which startled him. He then examined the pages he had pulled out, and when he saw the information inside, his lips twitched involuntarily.
The two purple lights were Gaara and Hidan in their advanced forms, and among the eight blue lights were three Gaara, two Hinata, two Kiba, and one Shino.
All of these are the cards that Ellige already possesses!
"Hmm? The summoning failed? Did it reach its limit?" Bisky asked curiously from the side.
Eliji, rubbing his forehead weakly, said, "It wasn't a failure, just bad luck. We drew all duplicates. These cards can only strengthen the team's current strength!"
After thinking it over, Ailiji realized that this might be a good result. So he did a simple operation: merging similar pages would generate higher-level information, just as he had expected, strengthening the existing cards.
