Ultragene Warlord

expect one person to handle a whole horde of lifeforms.

There could well be a rare few peak-grade lifeforms leading such a horde, and these corresponded to lord-class hunters in terms of strength.

Zhang Lie was a lord-class hunter himself, but facing two or more peak-grade lifeforms simultaneously would still be too much of a challenge for him to take on.
Thus, Zhang Lie would have to make significant preparations before he could feel comfortable about wandering out of the city on his own.

Fortunately, in his past life, Zhang Lie had become an excellent pillmaster, and dealing with a horde of superior-grade lifeforms was much easier with potions that perfectly countered their strengths and exposed their weaknesses. 

As a result, Zhang Lie quickly traveled back to Earth, to the Zenith Dojo.
In the dojo's basement was a top-secret laboratory expressly for his use.
Much of the spiritual herbs that he had gathered within the first realm were stored here.
His potbellied-toad pouch had been full to bursting, and he was anticipating the arrival of research groups from the alien races, so he had paid an exorbitant cost to transfer the herbs out of the dimensional world and into the real one.

Now that he wanted to brew a few potions, it would be most convenient to do so there.

Of course, he was also curious about how his sister was doing in the first realm.
He was very protective of her, but he also knew that, if he were to indulge and coddle her too much, it would only stunt her future development.

When Zhang Lie appeared in the teleportation array situated in the center of the Zenith Dojo, it glowed with a pale golden light.

Zhang Hong, who had been in a meeting; Lin Xiu, who was lecturing a group of recruits; Zhang Hanxiang, who was currently taking a hot bath; and the members of Team Zenith, who had prepared everything and were waiting for Zhang Lie's command to ascend to the second realm, received news of Zhang Lie's return.

Almost as soon as Zhang Lie stepped off the teleportation array, a vivacious girl skipped forward to greet him.

“D-Dojo Leader, welcome back!” The girl's face was somewhat unfamiliar.
She blushed red upon seeing Zhang Lie, clearly nervous but excited.

After all, at least within the Zenith Dojo, Zhang Lie was treated as an idol.
Those disciples who entered the Zenith Dojo had done so both because they wanted to enjoy the best benefits of the Void Throne and, more importantly, because they venerated Zhang Lie.

They were all young hunters, hoping that one day, they too could become like Zhang Lie, a pillar of China, a beacon for humanity on Earth, in the dimensional world.
This was the first time the girl was meeting her idol in person, and she was evidently and reasonably nervous.
In fact, she felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
