The examiner for the fourth level, Lippo, with hedgehog-like hair on his head, stood in the center of the field, with a barely noticeable smile on his face.
After a period of waiting, he finally came out and said in a solemn voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, a total of twenty-four people have passed the third test."
He glanced at the candidates present and continued, "Congratulations to all of you for successfully escaping the Tower of Trials. From now on, you will face the fourth and final test of strength."
"Only two more tests to go?" the candidates thought to themselves, showing various expressions, some excited and some nervous.
Lippo Ignoring their reaction, continue to say: "The location for the fourth level of the exam will be set on the Sabe Island. I won't waste any more words."
After that, he snapped his fingers, and immediately a staff member appeared beside him, holding a professional lottery drum. The height of the drum was enough to reach a person's waist, and the bottom looked like a sophisticated mechanical device.
Lippo pointed to the lottery box and said seriously, "Now, please start drawing lots."
"Drawing lots?" a candidate asked in confusion.
"What does the drawing decide in the end?" other candidates asked.
Lippo smiled, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and explained, "The drawing will decide who is the prey and who is the hunter."
Then, he gently touched the bamboo cylinder with his fingers and slowly said, "There are twenty-four number cards in this cylinder. The number you draw represents your exam number for this round. Please each draw one."
"Alright, explanation finished. Now, please come forward in the order of passing and draw a card." Lippo finished his words and his expression returned to calm.
Hisoka was the first to step forward and draw a lot. He looked at the number on the card in his hand, and a subtle but noticeable interest flashed in his eyes.
After that, the other candidates took turns to draw a number from the lottery. After drawing, each person would carefully look at the card in their hand, and their facial expressions varied - some were excited, some nervous, and some contemplative.
After the candidates had finished drawing lots, Lippo spoke again, scanning the room and asking, "Have you all finished drawing?"
Lippo said calmly, "The numbers you drew just now have been recorded by this machine. Therefore, you can choose to destroy the cards in your hands now."
He pointed to the machine and continued to explain, "The examinee numbers shown on the cards in your hands will be your targets from now on."
Lippo said expressionlessly, "Your goal is to capture the number plate from the prey. If successful, you will receive three points."
"If you can keep your original number plate until the end of the exam, you will also receive three points. Any other number plate will earn you one point. To advance to the final level, you need to score at least six points."
He finished speaking and added seriously, "Please make sure to score at least six points on Sable Island."
Twenty-four successful candidates boarded the boat to Sable Island together, expecting to arrive in two hours.
The atmosphere on the ship seemed unusually tense, with everyone carefully hiding their number tags and avoiding eye contact to prevent any information leakage.
At that moment, Killua approached Gon and Chi, smiling as he greeted them, "Hi."
Killua sat down, looking more relaxed than the others. He asked curiously, "Which number did you draw?"
"I don't plan on telling you, oh." Gon said, winking as he spoke, with a playful expression.
"I'll keep it a secret too." Chi continued, with a smile on his face, seemingly enjoying the tense and exciting atmosphere.
Killua fell silent for a moment, and then the three of them awkwardly laughed at the same time.
"Don't worry, my target isn't either of you," Killua said in a relaxed tone, with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
"Our goal isn't 99 either." Gon responded, with a hint of relaxation on his face.
"Then let's count to three and exchange together, shall we?" Killua suggested, with a somewhat expectant expression.
"Okay, one, two, three!" The three of them shouted the command at the same time, and then they all flipped over the number plates in their hands.
Killua had number 199, Gon had 44, and Chi had 80.
"Fortunately, it looks like neither of us drew a familiar number tag." Killua breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of relaxation in his tone.
"But, Gon, it seems like your luck isn't too good." Killua said teasingly, glancing at Gon.
"Do you think so too?" Gon responded with a wry smile.
"It's like he's the king of luck." Chi commented with a slight smirk.
"Speaking of which, Killua, do you know who got number 199?" Gon turned around and asked curiously.
"I have no idea. Who would remember so many people's numbers anyway," Killua shook his head. "Usually, I only start paying attention to the numbers around me after listening to the instructions." After finishing this sentence, he crossed his hands behind his head, looking quite relaxed.
"And everyone is very alert, having already hidden their number tags securely." Chi added, glancing at the other examinees on the boat, with a slight smile on his lips.
Killua noticed that Gon's expression was somewhat unusual, so asked, " Gon, are you feeling scared or excited?"
"Both, I guess. If this were just a duel, I might not have much chance. But if it's about grabbing the number plate, I feel like I still have a chance." Gon replied, with a hint of nervousness and excitement in his tone.
"Don't worry, I will help my brother," Chi said solemnly, with a determined look.
"Alright, let's support each other. Gon, Chi, remember not to be eliminated," Killua said earnestly, then got up and left.
Gon looked at Killua's back and smiled, giving him a thumbs-up gesture.
Chi also smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with determination and Nen, as if saying, "We will definitely make it happen."
At this time, the crew on the ship spoke: "Dear candidates, we have arrived at our destination, Sibyl Island. Please disembark in the order of passing the third exam. After each candidate disembarks, please wait for two minutes before the next candidate leaves."
"We will stay here for a whole week. Please collect at least six scorecards during this time, and then return here to regroup." The crew continued with detailed instructions.
"Now, please let the first candidate disembark," the staff member instructed finally.
Hisoka stood up, tilted his head with a slight smile, then lightly stepped onto the pier, walking without hesitation towards the depths of the forest.
Two minutes later, the bell rang, and another candidate also stood up, following Hisoka's footsteps, and walked towards the forest.
In this way, one after another, all the candidates stepped onto this land in the specified order.
On everyone's face, there are their own expectations and worries, but without exception, they are all full of determination.
Finally, after everyone had left the pier, the ship slowly started its engines and slowly sailed away from the pier, leaving behind only silence.
Gon and Chi got off the boat together and started running forward. Suddenly, a figure swiftly flew past.
Gon noticed, but always felt it was his own illusion, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Chi.
"Number 384, Mr. Greta, don't hide anymore. You've been waiting for us to disembark since you got off the ship, right?" Chi said.
"Ah, I've been discovered, so be it," Greeta said as she took a blowgun from her pocket.
As Greeta aimed the blowgun at Gon and blew out an arrow, Gon tightly held the fishing hook in his hand and whispered, "This trick won't work on me." He used the bait on the fishing hook to block the blowgun arrow.
Greta's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but before she could react, she found her feet entangled by an almost transparent line.
Chi's mouth curved slightly, and with a gentle force, she tightened the line wrapped around Greta's feet. She said softly, "Now you can't move, can you?"
Greta roared and pulled out her short sword, swinging it fiercely at Chi. Chi dodged with extreme agility and immediately retracted her lines. She taunted, "Do you think you can avoid the lines like this?"
Chi released multiple lines again, this time trapping Greta like a net. Seizing the opportunity, Gon flew up and kicked Greta in the chest with a loud thud!
Greta smiled bitterly and attempted to use a short sword to cut through Chi's Nen ability web, only to find that he had no idea where the web was. He gasped and said, "What is this thing?"
Gon and Chi approached while Greta was bound, and Gon said, "It's over."
Greta, despite being bound, still struggled to shoot an arrow at Chi. Chi easily deflected the arrow with Nen-controlled threads, saying, "Stop resisting stubbornly."
Finally, Gon and Chi exchanged a glance and launched a simultaneous attack. Gon used a fishing bait to entangle Greta's short sword, while Chi used threads to bind his wrists and ankles.
Greta finally couldn't handle the pressure and lost her fighting ability.
"It's done." Gon picked up the number plate from Greta and handed it to Chi.
"Well, not bad. But this is just someone else's number plate, so we only get one point. We still need to quickly find our chosen prey." Chi put away the number plate, looking serious.
So the two of them continued to venture deeper into the interior of the Sibyl Island.
