I'm in HxH, Survive for Five Years!

Sweat poured down from Ethan's forehead and body.

Under normal circumstances, with Ethan's physique, he wouldn't tire even if he lifted 200-kilogram dumbbells all day long.

However, the added gravity from the [Gravity Ring] changed the game.

After returning from the Sky Arena, Ethan spent most of his time in the training room, focusing on basic physical training.

The gravity exerted by the [Gravity Ring] on his body was now three times greater than normal.

Under such conditions, every inch of his body was under pressure, both internally and externally, as if he were continuously being hammered.

Moreover, the physical exertion was substantial. After exercising for a while, he would quickly reach his limit and have to stop for a rest.

But the challenge only fueled Ethan's determination to train even harder.

Although he won his battle with Hisoka, it highlighted his shortcomings.

His physique lagged behind his current strength, making it a major weakness in his overall capabilities.

With the [Gravity Ring] as a training aid, Ethan was determined not to let it go to waste and aimed to strengthen his body as much as possible during his quest to achieve the title of champion.

Time passed quietly amidst the sweat of his practice.

Before he knew it, the day of the competition had arrived.

By nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of spectators had gathered on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, filling the spacious auditorium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this exciting competition. Now let me introduce the two competitors: Ethan and Castro!!!"

In the host hall, the female announcer of the Sky Arena took the microphone and shouted excitedly.

"Stop the chatter and get started! I took special leave to watch this game!"

"Castro will win, Castro will win!!"

"Ethan is unbeatable, Ethan is unbeatable!!"

Amid the announcer's shouts, the entire venue erupted into loud cheers, and the atmosphere became electric.

Some couldn't wait to watch the match, while others fervently cheered for their favorite competitors. Among them were fans and even gamblers who had placed hefty bets.

Among the many competitions in the Sky Arena, aside from the biennial fighting tournament and the championship bouts, the matches between players on the 200th floor are the most popular.

Additionally, different players have varying levels of popularity.

Both competitors in this match were well-known, naturally drawing a large audience eager to watch.

Even with less than three days of publicity, this match garnered significant attention.

The audience in the venue was only a fraction of the viewership, as many more watched the live broadcast on television.

"This game looks really exciting!" In one of the auditoriums, Lisa and Mia sat next to each other.

Seeing the high energy in the venue, Lisa had a trace of amusement on her face.

"Ethan and Castro are both very famous. It's normal for it to be such a spectacle," Mia smiled lightly, looking toward the two entrance passages leading to the arena.

"Now, let's welcome the two contestants..."

The announcer, satisfied with the venue's lively atmosphere, called for the contestants to enter.

Under the spotlight, two figures emerged simultaneously from the entrance passages on either side.

Ethan walked out from the right entrance, hands in his pockets, his posture relaxed, and a slight smile on his face.

From the left aisle, Castro emerged, waving and responding to the audience cheering for him, like a star.

"Contestants, please enter the stage!"

On the ring, the referee signaled for the two to get on the platform.

Ethan jumped onto the right side of the ring, while Castro climbed onto the left. They quickly assumed opposing positions.

The cheers in the venue gradually subsided as everyone held their breath, eagerly anticipating the big battle.

Ethan's eyes met Castro's across the ring, his posture relaxed and his gaze calm.

In contrast, Castro locked eyes with Ethan sharply, his eyes burning with high fighting spirit.

"Start the match!"

After explaining the rules, the referee didn't waste any time and quickly announced the start of the match, retreating from the ring.

Whoosh!

The best defense is a good offense. Ethan's fighting style was always to take the initiative. As the match started, his relaxed posture disappeared in an instant. His legs bent slightly, generating explosive power as he suddenly shot forward.

Moving at a speed beyond the naked eye.

Not only did Ethan take the initiative, but so did Castro.

He decisively launched an offensive, bursting out with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the two competitors met in the center of the ring, both opting for a frontal attack.

"Ha!!"

Castro's right hand transformed into a claw, powerful nen wrapped around it. With a loud shout, he anticipated Ethan's movements and aimed his ten lacquered claws at Ethan's midsection.

The claws howled through the air, capable of tearing through steel if they landed.

"Too slow!"

Ethan's eyes remained calm and steady.

Without needing to activate [Heartdrop Fist Listening], Ethan easily captured Castro's attack with his normal insight.

His body swayed slightly, maintaining speed as he deftly avoided the incoming claws.

Advance!

As he dodged, Ethan closed in on Castro with impressive speed, sharply driving his elbow into Castro's chest.

Boom!!!

A violent impact echoed, the fierce force causing ripples in the surrounding air.

"How can this be!!!"

Castro's expression changed instantly, disbelief mixed with pain as he opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His feet left the ground as he flew backward.
