Chapter 1583: Evolution Complete

Zhang Hanxiang\'s bones shone with luster, emitting a golden hum.

Burgeoning vitality emerged from her body, causing bone, blood, and flesh to resonate. Her bones glowed a faint gold.

Then, incredible vitality nourished her body and caused it to gleam with light.

She reforged her body, growing stronger than ever. Her latent talent was blossoming.

Starlight speckled her bones.

The figure of eternal frost to her back roared like a god, and chilly winds blew across the city. Her physical body glowed with a sheen like that of top-quality jade.

Zhang Hanxiang\'s status of life had improved to a tremendous extent. The starlight dimmed, and her long hair broke free of the ice encasing it. She was like a lotus that bloomed in the middle of a snowfield, pure and unadulterated.

After that evolution, Zhang Hanxiang didn\'t wake up immediately. She fell into a deep sleep, her body slowly floating down like a snowflake not subject to gravity. Zhang Lie rushed forward and found her body ice-cold. A layer of frost crept up his arm.

Sun Mengmeng stepped forward, worried. "Captain..."

Zhang Lie shook his head. "Don\'t worry about it. It\'s just frost that she\'s giving off unintentionally."

As Zhang Lie brought Zhang Hanxiang back to her room, Sun Xiaowu released a deep breath. "I would never have expected such incredible energy in Hanxiang\'s body..."

Fang Yi said, "After all, she\'s our captain\'s sister. How could she be ordinary?"

Zhang Lie sighed. "I\'d rather she be more ordinary..."

Sun Mengmeng frowned. "Captain, you seem really concerned. Has something happened to Hanxiang?"

Zhang Lie said, "Mortals aren\'t supposed to be able to channel deific strength. Just coming into possession of it is already disastrous. As Hanxiang matures, so will her deific avatar. If her status of life remained as low as it was, her body would have been unable to bear the might of the avatar, and she would have transformed into an eternal sculpture of ice."

Sun Xiaowu nodded in understanding. "That\'s why you needed to get the flower of universal life at any cost, Captain."

"That\'s right. Now that Hanxiang has grown stronger, that fate has at least been delayed by quite a few years."

"Does Hanxiang know?" Zhou Ying asked.

Zhang Lie shook his head. "She doesn\'t. Please don\'t tell her."

Yang Ze phased through space as he popped back in. "Looks like the problem\'s been resolved, then."

Zhang Lie asked, "Was anyone affected?"

Yang Ze patted his chest. "Don\'t worry about my abilities. Everyone evacuated as planned, and not a single dojo employee or disciple was affected."

Yang Ze possessed mastery over space, and he was able to teleport people out of the dojo in a flash.

"Should I recall them?"

"Recall everyone and have them start cleaning up the ice around the dojo." The moment Zhang Lie finished speaking, his transceiver began to ring. Zhang Lie returned to his room, shattered the ice sealing his transceiver, and saw the notification on its display.

Hong Tianqi?

Sun Mengmeng motioned that she and the other hunters of Team Zenith would start dealing with the cleanup of the Zenith Dojo and its surroundings.

Zhang Lie accepted the call. The moment he picked up, he heard Hong Tianqi shout, "Zhang Lie, I received news that the Zenith Dojo was attacked. Are you alright? Is everyone else fine?"

"We\'re all fine."

Hong Tianqi was so enraged that he slammed a palm on his table. "Who would dare attack the Zenith Dojo? That\'s a show of disrespect for all of China, of all of the Milky Way, of the highest authority of the united world federation! Zhang Lie, just who did you offend lately? I\'ll deal with them all one at a time!"

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "Do you think anyone in the Milky Way would dare to attack me?"

"I don\'t care who they are—if they struck at you, they might as well have struck at me, Hong Tianqi!"

Zhang Lie couldn\'t help but smile at the lengths that Hong Tianqi would go to defend him. His rage didn\'t seem to be a joke at all.

"No one attacked me."

"What? Are you going to claim that you orchestrated the attack, then? The entire city was bombarded with huge blocks of ice. It\'s clear that the opponent wasn\'t just targeting the Zenith Dojo. Zhang Lie, this isn\'t a problem just for you, but for all of China, all of the Milky Way, and the highest authority of the united world federation! Don\'t worry, Zhang Lie. Tell me everything!"

"I was the one who caused it."

Hong Tianqi: ...

He fell silent, then asked, "Why? Do you have nothing better to do?"

"I was training in the dojo, not expecting to cause such a huge commotion."

Zhang Lie didn\'t explain that Zhang Hanxiang had caused the emergency. He wanted to protect his sister as much as possible.

"Why didn\'t you do it in the dimensional realm?"

Zhang Lie shrugged. "As I said, I wasn\'t expecting to cause such a huge commotion."

"No, that\'s not the Zhang Lie I know. You wouldn\'t make such an elementary mistake. Zhang Lie, you\'re not thinking of dealing with your opponent alone, are you?" Hong Tianqi asked.

"What?!"

Hong Tianqi continued seriously, "Don\'t shoulder the burden yourself, Zhang Lie. China and the united world federation stands behind you, as do I, the highest authority of the united world federation. We won\'t just let you take this lying down!"

Zhang Lie was stupefied.

Hong Tianqi must have believed that he was trying to deal with the opponent himself because he didn\'t want the united world federation to interfere, or because he thought that the opponent was so strong that he didn\'t want to involve Hong Tianqi.

"I know you\'ve made it this far on your own, and I\'m very impressed by your abilities, but sometimes, you have to learn to count on others."

Zhang Lie sighed. "No, you\'re mistaken. This really was a commotion that I caused while training."

Hong Tianqi cried out in agitation, "You were partially responsible for my promotion to the highest authority of the united world federation! It\'s time for me to make use of my strength to help you. Don\'t worry. Tell me the truth!"

Zhang Lie replied seriously, "I really was the one who did it. I\'m very sorry, and I\'ll cover the monetary cost of reparation and damages."

The Zenith Dojo had become particularly profitable, along with the sales of his limit-breaking potions. To him, money was now nothing more than a number that grew and grew.
