uld forgive them.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ”pawread dot com ”.

Even so, the first few waves of Zenith Dojo disciples, who had settled the first realm on behalf of the Zenith Dojo, all showed up.
They might be starting to grow lazy, but that laziness was something they were willing to discard for a worthy cause.

The laziness had yet to corrupt their soul or form a habit around which their entire lives would revolve.
From Zhang Lie ’s speech, they recalled the hot-blooded youth they had once been, who had rolled up their sleeves and fought for land and territory to call their own.

The hunters of the Zenith Dojo thumped their fists on their chests.

”356,642 members of the Zenith Dojo, here to report for duty! ”

Zhang Lie was very pleased with the hunters ’ performance.
Even the laziest hunter no longer looked like a layabout; their eyes and minds were sharp, and they all seemed to be ready for danger.

”Very good.
The first wave of hunters will now board! ”

Zhang Lie strode forward at the very front, followed immediately behind by the other members of Team Zenith and Hong Xi ’s four-hunter group.
The remaining hunters followed suit in an orderly procession.

The members of the Zenith Dojo were all wide-eyed as they stepped into the titan-class shuttle.
None of them had ever seen a spacecraft so large and so magnificent.

The floors were made of some steel alloy, and electronics filled the shuttle.
The shuttle ’s sheer size was astounding enough from the outside, and the equipment on the inside was largely novel.

Even Zhang Lie had yet to experience a flight on a shuttle of this size before.

A disciple asked, ”Dojo Leader, are we flying straight to Mars on this shuttle? ”

Zhang Lie explained, ”That ’s right.
Given the current situation on Mars, we won ’t be able to use a wormhole or teleportation array to get there.
Is that a problem? ”

The disciples of the Zenith Dojo shook their heads.
They couldn ’t help but respect Zhang Lie from the bottom of their hearts—only someone like the dojo leader would have been able to charter a titan-class shuttle for this trip.
There were only a dozen such shuttles on Earth, at best!

They thought that they would have to face battle after perilous battle on Mars, but this titan-class shuttle ’s firepower would certainly help deal with the worst of the bugs.

Of course, no matter how large the shuttle was, it wouldn ’t be able to fit all the members of the Zenith Dojo.
Only 30,000 people could be transported at once.
One of their primary responsibilities was to fix the teleportation apparatus so that the rest of the disciples could teleport straight there from the Zenith Dojo.

Zhang Lie smiled and cracked a joke.
”At any rate, we ’re all on the shuttle now—you can ’t get off even if you wanted to.
Our goal is to support Mars and defend against the invading space bugs.
This is a dangerous mission.
You may get hurt, you may die, your companions and allies may die—but in the process, tempered by blood and flame, you ’ll all become stronger and more competent hunters. ”

The disciples turned serious.

”Many of you joined the dojo immediately after it was founded.
This operation will be a chance for all of you to demonstrate your abilities to the rest of mankind, to the rest of the Milky Way.
Those of you who are new to the dojo, watch carefully as your seniors fight.
This is an excellent learning opportunity, and I hope all of you will be able to develop as hunters in the process. ”

Zhang Lie snapped his fingers.
”Zhang Hong, are we ready to depart? ”

”Yes, Zhang Lie! ”

Zhang Lie was just about to nod when he suddenly thought of an important problem.
”Who knows how to pilot a shuttle around here? ”

Everyone was silent.
They were genetic hunters, not shuttle pilots.
Zhang Lie did have some experience flying a shuttle, but only a personal one, not this titanic monstrosity…
