Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1028: Testing His Sister

Sun Mengmeng glanced at the metal curiously. "What's so special about this metal?"

Zhang Lie replied, "Its very existence."

The members of Team Zenith each dug out a chunk of metal for themselves.

Zhang Lie grinned. "This will be the fuel for our imitation of the death spirits' battleships."

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow. "You mean to say that this black metal can replace lifeforce and souls charged with negative emotions?"

Yang Ze scanned the metal carefully and remarked with surprise, "It's filled with energy! If this deposit of metal beneath our feet were to explode, the entire draconian world would turn to dust."

The members of Team Zenith paled.

Zhang Lie's grin grew wider. "I told you all, didn't I?"

Fang Yi marveled, "We were still wondering how to combine lifeforce and the negative emotions from souls—but you've already found a replacement!"

Yang Ze praised, "As expected of our captain."

Sun Xiaowu nodded. "While we were all wondering what to do next, our captain solved everything on his own..."

Sun Mengmeng asked curiously, "Just where did this black metal come from?"

"Actually, it's a mix of various energies."

"What energies?" Fang Yi asked.

"It resulted from the evolution of the draconian world to a superior world, and it's somewhat related to all of you." Zhang Lie shared his hypothesis.

When he finished recounting what he believed to have happened, the members of Team Zenith were all astounded. "The three thousand worlds really are wondrous..."

"I'll need all of you to take turns guarding this area. Once the draconian sage has finished analyzing the evolved world completely, choose someone responsible and loyal to take over."

The draconian sage nodded.

Sun Mengmeng asked, "Why don't you do such an important task yourself, Captain?"

Zhang Lie explained, "Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi have to consume Potion #4, so..."

The members of Team Zenith, who had undergone that process themselves, were well aware of the danger and why Zhang Lie had to be there to supervise them.

"Once Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi are done, I'll prepare a feast for all of you."

The newly ascended monarch-grade lifeform was huge, and its body was easily large enough for ten people's consumption.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhang Lie left with Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi. As he had anticipated, there was plenty of space available in the draconian world.

Zhang Lie found the closest patch of barren land and guided the two women toward it. "We'll do it here, I suppose."

Zhang Hanxiang took a deep breath

as Zhang Lie handed them each a vial of Zhou Ying's upgraded restorative. "If something goes wrong, consume this vial immediately. It comes in a set with Potion #4."

Zhang Hanxiang glanced at the restorative curiously. "A set combo? Why didn't Potion #3 have one?"

Zhang Lie spread his arms. "It's Potion #4, an upgraded version! Of course it'd be different from Potion #3."

Hong Xi asked, "Why didn't you hand this to us beforehand, Master?"

Zhang Hanxiang sipped a little of Zhou Ying's restorative potion. She trusted Zhang Lie, but she was curious as to just what this other potion was.

Zhang Lie called out, "Don't drink that now! You're only supposed to consume it if something happens to your body during the consumption of Potion #4."

Zhang Hanxiang could feel the burgeoning vitality coming from the other potion. "Isn't this Zhou Ying's restorative?"

Zhang Lie corrected, "To be more precise, it's Zhou Ying's restorative #2."

Zhang Hanxiang gaped. "Aren't they all the same?"

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "Don't let the Yeluo chieftain catch you saying that, or he'll beat you up."

"Are they different, then?" contemporary romance

Zhang Lie countered, "Do you think Potions #3 and #4 are the same?"

"In that case, does that mean that Zhou Ying's restorative #2 is better than the original?"

Hong Xi jumped in. "Why is it necessary to prepare a vial of this restorative?"

"Potion #4 is more dangerous than Potion #3. It's several times more potent, and one of the ingredients used in the potion has ties to natural law. The potion is quite difficult to bear with a mortal body, and if you fail, there will be disastrous consequences."

Zhang Hanxiand was astounded. "Even with disaster gene fragments?"

Both of them had maxed their disaster gene fragments and were considered the equivalent of disaster-grade lifeforms. Would it be difficult for them to bear the effects of the potion even then?

Zhang Lie replied in the affirmative. "Yes, absolutely, even with superior limit fragments and disaster gene fragments. In fact, if you didn't have either of those, your body would likely explode on the spot if you tried to consume Potion #4. Obtaining superior limit fragments and disaster gene fragments might as well be a prerequisite."

Zhang Hanxiang gulped as she looked at the vial of potion in her hands.

Zhang Lie shrugged. "If you're afraid, you can choose not to consume it. Return the potion to me now."

Zhang Hanxiang hurriedly turned around to shield the potion from Zhang Lie with her body. "This is our reward for our excellent performance in the war! You can't take it back."

Perhaps before she participated in the war against the death spirits, Zhang Hanxiang might have hesitated, but after her participation, Zhang Hanxiang realized how weak she was, and how far she still had to go.

Hong Xi agreed with Zhang Hanxiang. "Master, you can't take back a reward you've already given out."

Zhang Hanxiang nodded. "Indeed. We've chosen this path, and there's no reason to turn back now."

Zhang Lie nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Hanxiang suddenly asked, "What's the success rate?"

Zhang Lie smiled. "Why? Are you scared?"

Zhang Hanxiang snorted. "Who would be afraid? I'm just asking."

"A hundred percent." Zhang Lie's next words shocked both women. He continued, "No one who has taken the potion has had any problems to date. Are both of you satisfied?"

Both Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Lie continued, "Would I hand my dear sister a problematic potion? You're my only family, as well as my most precious kin."

Hong Xi relaxed. "Don't frighten us like that, Master!"

Zhang Hanxiang grumbled, "Brother, if you know how important I am, then don't joke about me! Otherwise, you'll lose me one of these days."

Zhang Lie laughed. "I simply wanted to understand how determined both of you were, and whether you meant what you said when we returned from war."

Zhang Hanxiang sniffed, then consumed Potion #4 in a single gulp.
