Hunter x Hunter Rise Meteor Street

When Nobunaga walked out of the Tianfeng Gym, his breathing became increasingly difficult. He used his katana as a walking stick with one hand and covered his wound with the other, walking aimlessly in a remote neighborhood.

Thick blood threads passed through the fingers and dripped on the road bit by bit.

His eyelids felt heavier and heavier, his vision became blurry, and his brain gradually began to lack oxygen due to excessive bleeding, and finally lost consciousness.

The blood stains extended for more than 100 meters and stopped at the edge of the gutter beside the road.

At this time, a pair of old hands hugged the body, tore off Nobunaga's sleeves and stretched the wound on his abdomen.

After an unknown amount of time, Nobunaga felt that his abdomen was burned by a very high-temperature iron piece.

After a while, he was sweating all over his body, his clothes were soaked, and his lips were dry.

His whole body was burning with fever, and he was dizzy. The people and things on Meteor Street flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Wojin, Maggie, Chrollo... they were calling him.

"Meteor Street, I want to go back to Meteor Street!"

Nobunaga shouted, standing up suddenly and waking up.

Then the pain came up, and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss" in his mouth.

He turned around and looked around and found that he was lying in a ruined temple.

Looking again, he found that the katana in his hand was missing. He struggled to stand up and found that the wound on his abdomen had been treated.

He searched around the temple but couldn't find his samurai sword. He got angry and beat the pillars in the temple.

Just when he was furious, the temple door opened with a creak.

"Wake up. This is the medicine I bought for you. You can take it. There is also some dry food and money. You can take it home."

An old man came in and said this to Nobunaga with a smile, then turned around and left.

Nobunaga saw that he was dressed in rags, walked with a limp, was unkempt, and his hair was disheveled. At first glance, he looked like a beggar and a homeless man.

He stopped the other party loudly and said:

"Old man, don't leave yet. Where did you take my samurai sword? If you take it, you have to return it to me. Otherwise, I won't accept the favor you saved me. I will beat you to relieve my anger."

"Kid, that's a good knife, but it's not your life. I took it and exchanged it for these things, which are more practical for you. Go home."

The old man continued walking out without even looking at Nobunaga.

"Hey, you old man, who told you to make the decision without permission? See if I don't teach you a lesson."

Although he was still hurt, Nobunaga couldn't swallow this breath, so he chased after him, trying to catch the old man and slap him.

As soon as Nobunaga stretched out his hand, the old man twisted his shoulder and threw him aside. He tried to grab him again, but he ducked away again.

Although Nobunaga's hands and feet were injured, he was still faster than ordinary people. He grabbed and pulled him left and right, chasing the old man in the temple for a long time without catching him.

Such agile skills, it seems that this lame old man has a good background.

Suddenly grabbing and grabbing, Nobunaga discovered something unusual about the other party.

"Senior, thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any advice. I was rash just now."

Nobunaga stopped chasing. He wanted to know what this man's intentions were towards him.

"Boy, you still have some self-awareness. I think you are the only person who has come out of the Tianfeng Gym alive in so many years. I want to see how you feel about it?"

"So that's it. Tianfeng Yida-ryu is too fast. My reaction is still a little slow, but I won't give up. I will work harder until I defeat all the gyms."

"Well, it seems you still have some ambition, but it's impossible to defeat all the gyms with your fighting style that relies purely on natural instinctive reactions."

"If you can help me do it, I am willing to pay any price. Please help me, I really want to become stronger!"

"If you can do three things, I can guarantee that you will defeat all the gyms."

"Please say, don't say three things, three hundred things are fine."

"The first is don't tell anyone that I am your master. The second is that you are not allowed to open a gym after defeating all the gyms. The third is that after you defeat all the gyms, you must leave the small island country and never come back."

"Okay, I promise you."

The old man looked at Nobunaga with a smile and said:

"I agreed so quickly, I don't know whether I should believe you or not."

"You may not believe it, but you must regret it. Let me avenge you."

The old man's eyes lit up and he said:

"How do you know I think so."

"If my guess is correct, you should be the mysterious wandering swordsman Sakamoto Ryuumei who was assassinated and injured his leg after he was defeated by the Heavenly Wind Swordsman-Kamibei."

"How do you know? Boy."

"I often heard some rogues say that your seven-step shooting star step can dodge various moves. But one of your legs was crippled due to a conspiracy, and this footwork was lost. When I arrested you just now, I felt that you were one step at a time. Loops, every step change is different.”

"Since you have guessed it, I won't hide it. I have been hiding here studying swordsmanship for fifty years, just waiting for this day, waiting for a bloody prodigy. I have seen countless swordsmen who want to become famous challenge Tianfeng Yida The abortion failed and you were wrapped in a straw mat and thrown out. Today I finally saw you come out alive. God has not failed me!"

"Next, I will teach you everything I have gained in this life, avenge me, and defeat those hypocrites."

"Okay, I'm ready."

In the following days, Nobunaga had to swing the sword 5,000 times with a 100-kilogram iron bar every day, and then draw the sword 5,000 times.

Later, the old man asked Nobunaga to blindfold him and kept throwing stones at him.

At the beginning, they threw them one after another, but he knocked them aside and threw them all at the same time.

As spring passed and autumn came, Nobunaga swung the iron rod faster and faster, but still no stone could hit him.

Two years later, the old man saw that Nobunaga's speed and reactions were fast enough, so he began to train his strength and thinking.

The old man took Nobunaga to the foot of Wuliang Peak behind the ruined temple. He pointed at the boulders beside the stream flowing from the mountain and said:

"Break them all, all the way to the source. When you finish breaking the last boulder, before the incense burns out, walk down the mountain with the broken iron rod and come to the temple. I will give you a sword. If the incense wears off and you haven’t come down yet, you don’t need to practice anymore because your limit has been reached.”

"Wait for me to come back."

Nobunaga ran all the way up the mountain wielding an iron rod. When he saw huge rocks along the stream, he hit them hard and broke them one after another.

Slowly, the iron rod was deformed by the beating, and Nobunaga's palms were shocked to the point of bleeding.

After the last boulder was smashed, the iron rod was indeed broken. Nobunaga ran all the way down the mountain, but he found that there were too many gravels. It was easy to step on the sliding gravels and fall to stop while running.

So he just didn't stop and rolled down the gravel, faster and faster. When he rolled down the mountain, he was already hit by the gravel. The collision was covered in blood.

Finally, he arrived at the temple before the incense burned out. The old man held two swords there and said:

"Congratulations on finally breaking through the limits of your own strength and thinking. This sword is called [Hanso]. You can use it. I will use your original sword and we will have a fight. If you beat me, you can Down the mountain."

Nobunaga took the sword handed over by the old man and pulled it out. Sure enough, the cold light was dazzling and breathtaking.

The old man also drew his sword and assumed a high-level stance, preparing for a life-and-death battle with Nobunaga.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, I will definitely win you."

Nobunaga looked at the old man's eyes and said firmly.

The two of them held the hilts of the swords in their hands, their bodies were as stable as Mount Tai, and their breaths were as undetectable as those of plants.

The two swords slowly approached each other in the air, and the two sword tips were about to touch each other.
