Chapter 320: Top Secret
The reason Zhang Lie was making such a big deal about this now was in order to highlight two important issues for his sister: first, that cultivation and the path of a hunter wasn\'t just a game, that she would have to put in hard work commensurate with the resources she had been given to succeed; and second, that the dimensional world was dangerous, and she needed some ability to protect herself.
"There\'s no need to apologize to me. Don\'t you think I understand how you feel? Even so, Hanxiang, I implore you to pay more attention to your cultivation. The members of Team Zenith will soon ascend to the second realm, and you, Jun Jiuxiao, and Ye Xianchen might have to fend for yourselves in the first realm.
"The influence of the dojo will continue to grow within the first realm, but if an emergency or accident happens, you\'ll need to be prepared to deal with it yourself. Make your way up to the second realm quickly, alright? This time, I promise I\'ll wait for you!"
In the end, he couldn\'t bear to be too harsh on her.
"Yes, Brother, I understand!" Zhang Hanxiang smiled, a blissful expression on her face.
"I\'m going to be having a meeting with the members of Team Zenith about their ascension. There are a few things that I\'d like to convey to you during this time as well, so you should join me."
"I understand, Brother!"
Zhang Hanxiang\'s tantrum had been within reason—while she was paralyzed, Zhang Lie naturally devoted more time and attention to her than now, and Zhang Lie\'s recent disappearance still weighed heavily on her.
The members of Team Zenith, like Zhang Lie, believed that she would soon grow out of this phase. Following Zhang Lie\'s command, they arrived outside the house within just a few moments.
"Captain!" As the door creaked open, the six members of Team Zenith greeted their captain and walked inside, remembering the first time they had met Zhang Lie.
Indeed, as Zhang Lie had claimed, they were very glad they had chosen to follow him. If they hadn\'t done so, they surely wouldn\'t have grown so strong.
Zhang Lie beckoned for them to sit around the table. "I\'m ready to receive you in Qi. Are your preparations all finalized as well?"
Fang Yi nodded and spoke for the rest of the team. "Yes, Captain. We\'ve collected all the spiritual herbs that you\'ve asked for, and Hanxiang, Jiuxiao, and Xianchen are all capable of protecting themselves now."
Zhang Lie smiled. "Good. I trust your work, so what\'s left is for me to brew Potion #3 for each of you. Once you consume it and finish uncapping your superior gene fragments again, you\'ll be able to advance directly."
Fang Yi and the rest of the team nodded fervently, letting out excited smiles as they did so. Those who had never experienced the power of these limit fragments could hardly imagine the boost it gave to their abilities.
Just the basic and mutated limit fragments alone had given the members of Team Zenith an unimaginable boost, let alone the superior limit fragments they would soon obtain.
To be honest, even they had no idea just how strong they would become with this new potion. Although formally they were a team, none of them had ever managed to push Zhang Lie\'s limits, so from the members\' perspective, Zhang Lie\'s source of genetic energy was all but boundless. Or, put differently, even their combined strength was unable to force him to his limits.
As far as they were aware, the reason for Zhang Lie\'s overwhelming strength was largely because they were missing his superior limit fragments, and it was only natural that they would jump at an opportunity to get what they had been dreaming of for so long.
"Thank you, Captain!"
"If you want to thank me, you\'d better work harder!" The herbs had been extremely difficult to acquire even for their team, and Zhang Lie was the only hunter in the world who could make such a potion at the current stage.
"Brother, surely I haven\'t misheard you? You\'re talking about... Potion #3, which gives you access to superior limit fragments?" Zhang Hanxiang gasped in surprise. She had emphasized the words \'superior limit fragments\'.
Zhang Lie nodded seriously. The reason he had asked the members of Team Zenith to come to his house was because he wanted to bring Zhang Hanxiang up to speed as well. Everything he had, so would his sister.
"Really?! Didn\'t the dojo announce that they had succeeded in the mutated limit fragment research just recently?"
"Hanxiang, remember that these discoveries will naturally make their way out into the public eye, and we of the Zenith Dojo aren\'t the only ones interested in these limit fragments."
She was shocked by the secret; as a schoolgirl who had only just made her way out into the world, her naivete hadn\'t left her entirely, and she believed the dojo\'s information almost without question, so this shock was a significant blow to her worldview.
Upon hearing her brother\'s words, however, she quickly agreed, "It does make sense, Brother."
Zhang Lie nodded. "Don\'t tell anyone for the moment, not even Jiuxiao or Xianchen. I\'ll let them know about the potions once the time is right. Do you understand?"
