Chapter 826: More Disaster Gene Fragments

"She\'s in the second realm. I\'ll call her back immediately."

"If she\'s busy, there\'s no need."

Zhang Hong smiled. "Hanxiang insisted that we let her know the moment you returned."

"Very well, then." Zhang Lie returned to his house, had a shower, changed his clothes, and went on the Internet.

It had been far too long since he had been without access the online forums, and he was very curious about the events that had transpired in the meantime. He searched for relevant news about the Milky Way—only to find himself looking at articles about him.

No matter how he searched, his name was always in the top ten articles, and he was even more trendy than the stars and idols of the day. The news of him conquering the eight worlds neighboring the draconian world in the third realm was currently spreading across the forums.

"Team Zenith has done it again—they\'ve destroyed multiple medium-sized worlds since ascending to the third realm!"

"We\'re all hunters from the Milky Way, aren\'t we? How could the members of Team Zenith be so exceptional?"

"The champion of mankind, Zhang Lie, has to be hiding his secrets. I\'m telling you, there has to be something he\'s not sharing with the rest of us, something on the level of disaster-grade lifeforms and limit-breaking potions! Who knows—he might have limit-breaking potions of an even higher grade."

"What? Zhang Lie has even more advanced limit-breaking potions? He has to share them with us!"

Zhang Lie did have such limit-breaking potions in his possession. It was likely because of such rumors that representatives from various research laboratories were reaching out to him for more information.

"Forget about it! Don\'t you remember how recently these potions were released? It\'s likely that even Zhang Lie, their inventor, hasn\'t managed to uncover their true potential yet. I bet it\'s because the members of Team Zenith all had maxed disaster gene fragments by the time they ascended—Zhang Lie must have revealed that secret to them beforehand!"

"Disaster gene fragments are that strong? Argh! Why didn\'t I learn about them sooner?"

"Even if you did, would you be able to kill the disaster-grade lifeforms needed to obtain them?

"Disaster gene fragments are astonishing, but who among us can really kill one? Haven\'t you seen how many corporations were recruiting teams to kill disaster-grade lifeforms? How many of them succeeded? A numerical advantage is simply a joke in light of their strength. As far as I know, no corporation or organization has managed to consistently kill disaster-grade lifeforms yet."

For one, disaster-grade lifeforms were very difficult to find. Zhang Lie had gone out hunting for them for three whole years in the second realm and still didn\'t manage to cap his disaster gene fragments that way.

Meanwhile, the galaxy at large had only learned about disaster-grade lifeforms for less than a year. Even if all the hunters mobilized, they wouldn\'t be able to find very many such lifeforms—let alone divide them among all the hunters. Whether or not they could kill any of the lifeforms they encountered was also a problem.

"It\'s very possible that the kingdom of Limit has managed to secure a steady source of disaster gene fragments."

"Why do you say that?"

"Many organizations and corporations are trying to enlist the help of the kingdom of Limit, aren\'t they? As you know, the kingdom of Limit is the largest organization in the second realm.

"They were able to take over the second realm rapidly, and they have countless hunters on the level of sura kings. Furthermore, the members of Team Zenith were able to overwhelm all opposition while they were in the second realm."

"And then?"

"Only China has been able to get a reliable source of information about these disaster-grade lifeforms. Everyone else is having trouble finding accurate, timely information."

"And what\'s wrong with that?"

"What? Isn\'t that a huge issue?" another poster replied. "Everyone\'s searching for disaster-grade lifeforms now. Don\'t you think those hunters from the kingdom of Limit are interested too?"

"The kingdom of Limit\'s the greatest power in the second realm! They have their own information network, and they don\'t have to rely on others."

"But why wouldn\'t they? Who would complain about having too many disaster gene fragments?"

Everyone seemed to be discussing the kingdom of Limit: whether they had found a stable supply of disaster gene fragments, whether they were highly interested in acquiring them, and...

"The outstanding performance the members of Team Zenith have displayed in the third realm is likely to be due to their having maxed out their disaster gene fragments. But how many disaster-grade lifeforms would they have to kill to do so?"

"They would need sixty in all, sixty! I don\'t think the hunters of the Milky Way have even found and killed sixty among them all."

"Is it possible that they haven\'t maxed out their disaster gene fragments?"

"If they haven\'t, how could they be able to kill kings of the realm after immediately having ascended to the third realm? Many of the warlords in the third realm have already acquired limit gene fragments!"

"So what if they have access to a secret wealth of disaster gene fragments? Not like we could force them to give it up..."

"There aren\'t any organizations that would dare to oppose the kingdom of Limit in the second realm now, unless a second Zhang Lie appears!"

Zhang Lie closed the browser—there wasn\'t any interesting information available.

Zhang Hanxiang rushed back within moments. She bulldozed into the room and hugged Zhang Lie tightly. "Brother, you\'ve returned!"

Zhang Lie laughed as he patted Zhang Hanxiang on the back. "You\'ve grown taller since we last saw each other! How have you been in the second realm?"

Zhang Hanxiang replied with a smile, "Everyone is treating me well. Jun Jiuxiao and Ye Xianchen have both ascended as well, and Yun Bing\'s been very thoughtful to me. The kingdom of Limit is developing at a steady but rapid pace.

"Have you been neglecting your training?"

"No, of ?course not! I\'ve almost maxed out my disaster gene fragments now, and I\'ll be able to advance to the third realm and fight with you in no time at all, brother!"

"Don\'t rush. Make sure to consolidate your strength in the second realm, first."

The third realm would quickly be mired in conflict, a battle the likes of which had never been seen before in history. Zhang Lie didn\'t want his sister to be trapped in this mess.

Zhang Hanxiang nodded obediently.

"Has the recent release of information about disaster gene fragments caused you any trouble?"

"No, brother," Zhang Hanxiang replied. "After all, I\'m your sister, and no one would be as foolish as to try to hurt me."

Anyone who dared to harm even a single hair on Zhang Hanxiang\'s head would be inviting disaster-grade retaliation on themselves.

Zhang Lie had left a number of strong hunters behind in the second realm to guard the kingdom from any who might try to subvert his rule. The kingdom of Limit was also supported by the four prime races, along with many other indigenous clans of the second realm. Their strength was unparalleled, and anyone who dared to hurt Zhang Hanxiang wouldn\'t be able to survive in the second realm any longer.

Zhang Hanxiang smiled. "Yun Bing has dealt with anything annoying that has come my way. There are quite a few spies in the kingdom of Limit hoping to glean more information about disaster gene fragments, but no one has dared to make an overt move."

"As long as they\'re not affecting the kingdom unduly, it\'s not a problem," Zhang Lie replied. "It\'s been too long since we had a meal together. Would you like to have dinner with me?"
