Ultragene Warlord

of you. ”

The members of Team Zenith and Zhang Hanxiang were stunned.

”There are plenty of post-peak-grade lifeforms in the farm, and if you make use of them properly, you can give birth to disaster-grade lifeforms. ”

Disaster-grade lifeforms!

Hong Tianqi hadn ’t yet announced the existence of these lifeforms to the world.
He was planning to do so in order to establish himself as the presiding authority of the world federation once he took on that role. 

He had intended on setting up specialized hunting teams for such lifeforms, but they didn ’t exist in the first realm.

Zhang Lie ’s encounter was an accident, nothing more.

There were a rare few natural disaster-grade lifeforms in the second realm, but the second realm all but belonged to Zhang Lie by now.
Setting up a hunting team would require his approval.

If he were to do so forcefully, appealing to his position as the presiding authority of the world federation and his own reputation, he would be overstepping his limits, even if Zhang Lie didn ’t mind.

Zhang Lie explained what he knew of disaster-grade lifeforms to everyone present.
The members of Team Zenith knew a little because of their previous interactions with Zhang Lie, but this was the first time that Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi were hearing of the affair.

”So that ’s the next level of strength beyond peak-grade! Was a disaster-grade lifeform what destroyed the Blacksteel settlement? ”

”In that case, do disaster gene fragments exist? ”

”If they ’re genetic lifeforms, then surely they have gene fragments! ”

Zhang Lie listened to their conversation quietly without interrupting them.

Finally, Li Feng couldn ’t satiate his curiosity any longer.
”Captain, just how large is the difference in strength between peak- and disaster-grade? ”

Yang Ze scoffed.
”Do you need to ask? It ’s proportional to the difference between mutated- and peak-grade, of course! ”

Zhagn Lie shook his head.
”More accurately, it ’s proportional to the difference between regular- and peak-grade. ”

Everyone ’s eyes bulged—disaster-grade lifeforms were far stronger than they had expected.

Zhang Lie continued, ”Disaster-grade lifeforms are particularly troublesome to deal with, but not because of their raw strength.
That said, even all of you working together might not be able to take one down—you ’re all lacking in strength as well. ”

The members of Team Zenith nodded.
They understood that they were lacking; perhaps they seemed exceptionally strong to the average hunter, but they were nothing compared to Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie continued, ”The reason that disaster-grade lifeforms are hard to kill is because their bodies have crystallized.
Unless you damage their core, physical attacks are all but useless.
They also have immense regenerative abilities. ”

The members of Team Zenith nodded.

”Worst, though, is their rarity.
I estimate there are a thousand post-peak-grade lifeforms for every disaster-grade one, and you certainly won ’t be able to find a thousand post-peak-grade lifeforms grouped together.
Trying to find a disaster-grade lifeform without any information is akin to trying to find a needle in a haystack, and you could very well traipse through the entire second realm without finding one. ”

Zhang Hanxiang understood at once.
”That ’s why you wanted to make your farm, Brother! ”

”Exactly right.
In the future, you won ’t have to go hunting down these lifeforms like me—just make sure to feed the fish in this farm.
Of course, before that, you ’ll have to overcome my training first.
With your current strength, it ’s almost impossible for you to take down a disaster-grade lifeform.
You might not need to fight one in the wild, but I have my reputation to consider. ”

”Yes, Captain! ” the members of Team Zenith shouted.

So all that Zhang Lie had done was for them! Paying him back with dedicated training was the least they could do.
