Chapter 107: Armament Haki
Adolf rushed toward Allan, who stood still, which confused many onlookers.
‘Is this guy so afraid that he couldn’t move?’
Many had the same thought, and only a few people who witnessed Allan’s power were calm.
Adolf threw a fast punch toward Allan, who didn’t move until the last second and avoided it in the end.
Adolf’s confident face changed to surprise, not because Allan avoided his punch, but because he did it effortlessly.
He continued attacking relentlessly, and Allan avoided each punch the same way, leaving an afterimage behind due to his speed.
Allan’s observation Haki read all of Adolf’s movements easily, which made avoiding his punches simple.
Adolf was getting frustrated as he couldn’t even land a hit on Allan.
The more he fought, the angrier he got.
Suddenly, Nen erupted from Adolf’s body.
“An Enhancer?”
Allan squinted as he remembered the last Enhancer he faced, Uvogin.
From the Nen he released, he wasn’t weaker than Uvogin.
Allan knew that a Professional Hunter is just a general term, and each hunter has a specialty, like Bounty hunter, relic hunter, food hunter, and so on.
Among them, the bounty hunters and crime hunters were prominent, and that’s because there were many criminals in the world that needs strength to deal with.
When Adolf released his Nen, Allan could tell that his speed and strength increased greatly.
Enhancers can increase their power and speed with Nen, so their fighting style is crude and simple, and their strongest weapon is their fist.
They can easily smash rocks and lift tons.
That’s why Enhancers were most suited for close combat.
Adolf took advantage of this and attacked Allan with all his might.
The Hunters moved to one side as they watched the fight with interest.
Among them is Netero, who watched the fight with interest instead of stopping them.
The other hunters were also looking at the fight with interest. Because of the doubts raised by Adolf, many of the onlookers were doubting Allan’s power.
At this moment, Allan’s performance is directly related to whether Netero’s claims are right about the 287th exam passers or not.
While Adolf was attacking Allan, the latter’s performance already proven them wrong.
As a new Hunter, Allan can face Adolf, who was going all out, and this certainly can prove that Allan was as strong as an experienced Hunter.
Adolf was amongst the top fifty in the hunter association, and now, a new comer was able to hold his ground against him. There is no need for doubt anymore.
Now, even if Allan admits defeat, the others won’t question him.
But Allan had no intention of admitting defeat. Only a few people could tell who was stronger currently.
At this moment, Adolf seemed to push Allan back, but Adolf couldn’t even land a hit.
His fierce attack missed the target, no, it’s not that it failed, but Allan avoided all of it.
‘Why can’t I hit him?!!’
Adolf was confused, while the onlookers were surprised.
They could tell that Adolf’s speed was enough to hit Allan, but Allan could avoid his attacks.
Even members of the twelve Zodiacs were surprised.
They have seen Allan’s match against Hanzo, and the former was currently using the same strategy.
No matter how much Adolf attacked, he never managed to touch Allan.
“Did that Allan see through all of Adolf’s attacks?” Pyon the Rabbit Zodiac exclaimed.
Ginta, also one of the twelve Zodiacs, replied: “Yes, Allan has seen through all of Adolf’s attacks. No, Adolf fell into Allan’s rhythm from the start, which allowed Allan to play with him.
As a result, his attacks became more and more urgent as he wanted to end the fight quickly.”
“In other words, Allan’s true power is much higher than Adolf’s?” Pyon was a little surprised as she asked Ginta, who replied: “I think so.”
“Unbelievable.” Pyon looked at Allan in surprise: “So, isn’t he strong enough to challenge us?
Ginta, can you defeat him?”
Ginta shook his head: “I don’t know if I can beat him.”
“But, you’re strong,” Pyon said with a hand on her chin.
Ginta scratched his head and said: “Allan didn’t just see through Adolf’s attacks. He also perfectly dodged each one, which means he is faster.
If I were fighting Adolf, I wouldn’t be able to do the same feat. Therefore, Allan is faster than I’m.”
Pyon looked at Ginta before sighing: “Yes, your body is too big and heavy. You can’t move that fast.
Well, I think you would have the advantage when it comes to strength.”
Mizaistom interjected: “If you can’t land a hit, no matter how strong you are, it will be useless.”
Hearing this, Ginta smiled awkwardly as what Mizaistom said was true. Even if your strength is superior, you won’t win if you can’t land a hit.
The current situation with Adolf was the best example. Even though Adolf was an enhancer who should be stronger than Allan, he couldn’t land a single hit on Allan.
Adolf was frustrated as he shouted in anger: “Damn it! Don’t hide like a mouse, you coward.”
“Okay.” Allan also thought it was almost time to end this.
He raised his mouth slightly in a smile and said: “if that’s what you want, then I will attack.”
In the next second, Allan’s figure disappeared and reappeared behind Adolf.
Adolf reacted as fast as he can and turned around to see a black hand gleaming in the light falling on him.
The fist landed on Adolf’s chest, directly bending his breastbone.
Boom!
Adolf was sent flying like a cannonball as he was knocked out.
The audience fell into silence.
They took several seconds to react and finally realized that Adolf was taken down in one punch.
The onlookers were in shock as they broke out in a heated discussion.
“He’s fast!”
“Moreover, that power isn’t something normal people can have. He knocked Adolf into the air, even though the latter is an enhancer.”
“Is that guy a monster?”
Allan wasn’t just faster than Adolf. He was also stronger, even though the latter was an enhancer.
As for the person himself, Allan was a little surprised by the power Armament Haki had.
It was his first time using it, and he didn’t expect such strength.
[Ding! You defeated Adolf in front of Everyone and face slapped those who questioned your strength. Reward: Magic Jar!]
[Note: The reward is transferred into the system’s Inventory, and Host can take it out anytime.]
Allan checked the Inventory and saw a black pot resembling a clay pot.
According to the description, the Magic Jar is a type of Treasure Chest.
As long as he smashes the jar, he would get a random reward.
At this time, Adolf got up from the ground as placed his hand on his chest.
Allan punch actually broke a few bones, which made Adolf look at Allan in disbelief.
He could help ask: “This is impossible, how are you stronger than me? Are you an Enhancer as well?”
Allan shook his head.
He didn’t use Nen at all. He simply covered his fist with Armament Haki.
But Adolf’s suspicion is understandable since Armament Haki was so powerful, it made everyone think that Allan is an Enhancer.
Only an enhancer can have that kind of strength, but Adolf didn’t feel any Nen, which made him even more shocked.
If he isn’t an Enhancer, did he even use Nen? Was that attack pure physical power? Adolf was almost going crazy.
Allan didn’t say much. He wasn’t stupid.
After all, this wasn’t an anime anymore. He wouldn’t talk about his ability to a potential enemy.
He didn’t even use his most powerful trump card, which he originally wanted to use, but considering the surrounding, he abolished such thoughts as it may cause some risks in the future.
If others knew about his ability, people might think of a way to counter it, so he didn’t want to expose himself yet.
At this moment, Gon and Hanzo came over, and the latter directly said: “Good job.”
Gon exclaimed: “I knew that Allan would win.”
Allan smiled and said: “No one would question us now.”
It’s indeed true. No one looked down on Allan and the others after seeing Adolf’s defeat.
Menshi came over and patted Allan’s shoulder and said: “Boy, good job. I’ve been angry with Adolf for a long time, and your punch vented most of that anger away.”
Satotz came over and said: “Allan, have you been getting stronger? You way stronger than before.”
Allan glanced at Satotz, who was extremely observant, and nodded.
After all, with the system, it wasn’t difficult to get stronger.
And the power he showed was just the tip of the Iceberg.
If he used the Ice Ice Fruit, Allan was sure that only a handful of people in the Association would be able to match him.
Someone like Adolf wasn’t enough to even enter his eyes. If Allan was serious, he would defeat him in seconds.
Seeing Allan’s confidence, Satotz said: “Allan, you have a huge potential. I can tell that you will be the representative of the new generation of the Hunter Association. Work hard. Chairman has a high expectation from you.”
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Allan was taken aback.
He looked up at Satotz and asked: “Satotz-senpai, did chairman say anything?”
Satotz smiled: “The Chairman just praised you slightly in front of the Twelve Zodiacs.”
“Huh?” Allan was confused. But he still could guess.
“In other words, the Chairman is very optimistic about me and may arrange about me to be part of the Twelve Zodiacs?”
Satotz nodded: “Well, I don’t rule out that possibility.”
Hearing this, Menshi patted Allan’s shoulder and said: “Wow, kid, your future is bright.”
“Ahem, what bright about it? Is being a member of the Twelve Zodiacs profitable?” Allan replied.
Menshi said: “Who’s talking about money? Your vision is quite short. I mean, if you enter the Twelve Zodiac, then maybe you can become the Chairman in the future.”
“You’re exaggerating, Menshi-senpai,” Allan said.
Menshi replied: “I’m not exaggerating at all. The Twelve Zodiacs are all qualified to compete for the seat of the Chairman, if you can join them, you will have that qualification as well.”
‘Is this guy so afraid that he couldn’t move?’
Many had the same thought, and only a few people who witnessed Allan’s power were calm.
Adolf threw a fast punch toward Allan, who didn’t move until the last second and avoided it in the end.
