Zhang Lie swallowed the core whole without even daring to chew it. As the core slid down his throat, Zhang Lie felt a fiery, numbing sensation spread throughout his body.

Subsequently, all that energy contained within the core burst apart. Almost immediately, Zhang Lie took on the color of a boiled prawn. As the energy in the disaster-grade core gushed through his body, he circulated genetic energy through his framework, faster and faster.

As he assimilated the disaster gene fragments into his body, Zhang Lie gave off stronger and stronger beams of light. He circulated genetic energy through his body at an incredible pace, his framework fully activated to capture and transform his newfound strength.

His evolution was spurred further and further onward by the energy of the disaster-grade core, which caused his body to toll as it ran amok.

Any other hunter's body would have collapsed under the strain, but Zhang Lie was an emperor-grade lifeform, and more than resilient enough to handle the stress of the disaster-grade evolution.

Within moments, he had obtained ten disaster gene fragments.

Zhang Lie returned to the large, pure white trial-taker's chamber. The orb spoke. "Congratulations on accomplishing the second trial. Would you like to proceed with the trials or rest?"

"Initiate the third trial immediately."

Zhang Lie couldn't wait to search for clues about his parents' whereabouts, or even to find them outright.

As a pillar of light shone down on him, Zhang Lie was transported to another small world.

The moment he stepped forward, a ray of white light shot toward him.

The disaster-grade lifeform in the third trial flashed with white light. Gusts of wind surrounded it as it sent hundreds, thousands of tons of rock into the air. It clashed against Zhang Lie once and again, claws against fist, as those rocks were sent flying all around the two combatants.

The third disaster-grade lifeform was a white tiger that seemed to be made of gold.

The tiger roared, spraying out a burst of silver light. Killing intent filled the air. Zhang Lie blocked the attack with a burst of energy. Behind him, a mountain collapsed and exploded, the rock turning into smithereens.

A huge white claw slammed down on his body, but Zhang Lie dodged it. A huge trench formed where the claw landed, the bottom of which couldn't be seen from up above.

The white tiger attacked furiously. Every part of its body could be used as a weapon—even with its back to Zhang Lie, it could strike at him with a flick of its tail.

Its ferocity was shocking.

Pale blue genetic energy rippled about Zhang Lie's arms. He flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend on the world. The sky began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.

A howling gale swept over the world. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!"

A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging.

Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the land.

The tiger sprayed out a burst of white light, shining with metallic luster, as it defended itself against the titanic waves. An overwhelming explosion rang out.

A huge rumble shook the heavens, and the entire world quaked.

As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie's signature genetic energy, shattering space and swallowing up all life in its vicinity. Pale blue tides raged through the air like a storm. The ground cracked and huge clods of earth were pulverized.

The white tiger roared, its eyes cold, as it leapt toward Zhang Lie.

As a genetic lifeform, battle was imprinted in the core of its being. It leaned into its intuition, its attacks turning fiercer, more domineering; no genetic hunter could match its instincts.

Zhang Lie smashed forward with a punch, causing both combatants to quake. A meteor's worth of energy exploded in mid-air, and the ground quaked as though a volcano were about to explode.

The tiger roared again as sharp blades grew out of its back at even intervals along its spine, each with a silvery-white sheen. Killing intent filled the air.

The blades stood like pillars separating heaven from earth, thick and ice-cold, giving the onlookers a chilling sensation.

The blades were ridiculously massive, and unusual phenomena were occurring around them. Blood was starting to appear on each blade. It was a frightening sight.

The tiger leapt forward, causing all the blades to suddenly turn toward their target. They gathered in a square around the tiger and shot toward Zhang Lie simultaneously.

The bloodstained blades, suffused with an aura of calamity, approached Zhang Lie at breakneck speed.

Zhang Lie swung his own blades with the resplendence of dawn, defending against the sudden assault.
