Ultragene Warlord

could, because he was too disgusting an opponent.

Bursts of water filled the battlefield, and the buds that Yang Ze had placed initially finally exploded.
Lotus flowers made of pure water blossomed from the buds, each an intricate construct of genetic energy.

As the flowers bloomed, they released ripple after ripple of water-attuned genetic energy, criss-crossing in mid-air and exploding into huge torrents of water.
The battlefield soon became a roaring sea, and waves seemed to crest over the two combatants.

Any ordinary hunter would have been torn to pieces by the water-attuned genetic energy.

This was a new technique that Yang Ze had developed by dedicated training: [The Lotus Blooms].

He knew that this technique wouldn ’t be able to hurt Zhang Lie; unless he had the time to amass a thousand such blooms, Zhang Lie could easily negate the force of this genetic energy.
He was a water-attuned hunter as well, and one who had more mastery over his element than Yang Ze.

Unless Yang Ze had the time and energy to overwhelm Zhang Lie in one massive explosion, he wouldn ’t be able to use this technique against him.
The first time he had tried out the technique in combat, Zhang Lie allowed him to amass his genetic energy and launch his technique at full strength.

This was the one and only time that Zhang Lie had gotten serious during training; he eventually caused the blooms to dissipate with brute force.

Ever since then, Zhang Lie hadn ’t given him the time to charge up his technique to full power.

As the lotus flowers blossomed, however, the density of water-attuned genetic energy reached a critical point.

”Have a taste of my blade! ” Yang Ze shouted.
Water-attuned genetic energy gathered around the two combatants.
As the aura of [The Boundless Blade] exuded from Yang Ze, a giant shark emerged behind him, opening its maw wide so everyone could see its rows upon rows of sharp teeth.
”Captain, here I come! [The Boundless Blade: Shark ’s Wrath]! ”

Yang Ze swung down with his greatsword, and the giant shark flicked its tail and launched itself toward Zhang Lie.

Its maw was large enough that it seemed as though it could swallow up even earth and sky, and its sharp teeth and ferocious aura caused even the members of Team Zenith and Zhang Hanxiang to take a step back.

If that shark were to smash against the ground, a huge wave of water would swamp them all.

Zhang Lie smiled, reminiscing the past.
”Do you remember a similar bout we had back in the Zenith Dojo? ”

He lifted an arm, and a serpent materialized around him.
A black serpent uncoiled from behind Zhang Lie ’s back.
As it raised its head, waves of dark energy flooded the room.
As the serpent hissed, black ripples spread out from its body, releasing waves of corrosive energy that scoured the battlefield.

The members of Team Zenith had grown since then, but so had Zhang Lie.
Even before the giant shark clashed against the waves of corrosive energy, it grew weaker and weaker as it approached Zhang Lie.

”[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]! ” Zhang Lie punched forward, but Yang Ze didn ’t dare to meet his attack fist for fist.
He knew that doing so was asking to die—even with the best regenerative potion that the Yeluo clan had to offer, he would be bedridden for a week at least.

As the giant shark struck the serpent, its body dissolved into water-attuned genetic energy.
Zhang Lie kicked the air, sending Yang Ze, still thirty meters or so away, flying out of the battlefield
