Ultragene Warlord

true heart of our captain ’s plan.
Regardless of whether our opponents end up banding together or disbanding under the threat of our presence, they ’ll all be playing into his palms! ”

Zhang Lie himself was listening to the conversation with no less amazement than the draconian sage had shown.
Two and a half layers, three layers, four layers? He hadn ’t been thinking as deeply about his innocuous suggestion as Sun Mengmeng and Yang Ze apparently were, but when he saw his sister looking at him with a face full of awe and respect, he smoothly clasped his arms behind his back and smiled as though he had been seen through.

When everyone else saw the smile on Zhang Lie ’s face, they were stupefied.

Such was the intelligence of the champion of mankind, Zhang Lie! A conundrum that had left the gathered hunters present scratching their heads—Zhang Lie had solved in a manner of seconds, in a cunning four-layer plan.

How intelligent did Zhang Lie have to be to devise such a plan? He was no less intelligent for his strength—brute strength was far less threatening than brute strength combined with overwhelming intelligence.

It was little wonder that Zhang Lie had succeeded in founding the kingdom of Limit—his natural talents lent themselves well to the task.

The members of Team Zenith puffed up with pride.
This was their captain, the man they were pledging their careers as hunters to!

Being able to follow in the footsteps of such a genius was the best luck they could have ever hoped to receive.
Not only was Zhang Lie immensely strong, he even had a once-in-a-lifetime genius.
It would be difficult for him not to make a name for himself.

The draconian sage was wholly impressed by Zhang Lie ’s talents.

As Zhang Lie noticed all the respectful gazes shooting his way, he couldn ’t help but blush.

Really, his greatest advantage was boasting an elite force like Team Zenith.
The crux of his suggestion was to stymie and harass his foes with absolute, crushing strength—the reason the draconian sage and the warlords hadn ’t been able to find such a solution was because they didn ’t possess such strength.

Zhang Lie coughed.
”Warlords, continue to defend the contested draconian territory.
Can you pinpoint the areas where the coalition forces have been sighted? I ’ll head there immediately, control their forces, and see if I can do some counterintelligence to make your work easier. ”

Zhang Lie turned to Zhang Hanxiang.
”Hanxiang, you ’ll join the warlords in defending the draconian world. ”

Compared to allowing Zhang Hanxiang to wander around the third realm by herself, Zhang Lie was a lot more comfortable with the idea of placing her under supervision by the warlords in the area.
That would be a much safer option.

The members of Team Zenith set off immediately.
Zhang Lie headed to the most recent location in which coalition forces had been spotted, shattering space and activating his disaster-grade mistmeld clam soulshard to control a number of soldiers.

Of course, he wasn ’t able to control high-ranking commanders and attendants to the kings of the realm.
Those people were all protected by the kings ’ energy, and Zhang Lie ’s mistmeld clam soulshard would be useless against them.
However, he could easily control their foot soldiers, who weren ’t protected.

Weak though they might be, they at least possessed the numerical advantage.

Zhang Lie controlled roughly ten thousand soldiers in one fell swoop, representing half a dozen worlds, before returning to the draconian world.
He had planted the seeds; now, he just had to wait for them to sprout.

With nothing else pressing, Zhang Lie headed to his new genetic lifeform farm in the third realm.

Right as he walked closer, he sensed a strong aura manifesting in the air.
A huge bolt of lightning struck the center of the farm…
