After Zhang Zheng left, the members of the Xiong Bing Lian were receiving their equipment and getting to know each other.
"Roses, who was that person who just left?" Di Leina asked curiously.
She was really curious. During the class, Di Leina had been observing the future team members. She had seen everyone's reactions to the news clearly, with some surprised and others scared. Only Zhang Zheng had maintained a completely unchanged expression from beginning to end.
"I don't know, just that he was recruited personally by Old Du and brought by A Jie. I heard he's quite impressive," Du Qiangwei explained to Di Leina.
Impressive? Di Leina curled her lip in disdain. She did feel some energy from Zhang Zheng, but it wasn't very significant. This misunderstanding wasn't surprising, as when not in combat, Zhang Zheng only emitted a small amount of dark energy from the Storm Battle Axe.
Seeing Di Leina's dismissive attitude, Du Qiangwei was worried she might not understand the situation and quickly said, "Although I don't know him well, I've seen footage of his battle. He dealt with the last invasion of the Taotie by himself, tearing apart the Taotie's Void Warrior with a single casual strike. The energy burst at that moment was extremely high."
Hearing this from Qiangwei, Di Leina became interested. As a Sun Goddess, she wasn't concerned about the level of energy. After all, she could control solar energy. The size of the energy didn't matter to her, but the fact that Zhang Zheng could tear apart a Void Warrior made her happy. Every commander hopes their subordinates are powerful.
Unlike Qiangwei, Di Leina understood the Void Warrior. It is the highest rank of single soldier in the Taotie civilization and the strongest warrior among the Taotie. Zhang Zheng tearing one apart proved he was an even more formidable warrior. Therefore, Di Leina decided to challenge Zhang Zheng to test his arrogance and make him listen to her command.
Seeing Di Leina's expression, Qiangwei, being a smart girl, guessed her intention and quickly asked, "Leina, you're not going to cause trouble for him, are you?"
Yes, Di Leina straightforwardly admitted. "Yes, I want to knock down his arrogance. Otherwise, the team will be hard to manage. Just like today, we hadn't even disbanded yet, and he just ran off by himself, as if he doesn't take this Goddess seriously."
Qiangwei thought about it and agreed with Di Leina's reasoning but was a bit concerned and asked, "Can you win against him?"
It's not surprising that Qiangwei was worried. She had seen Zhang Zheng's battle footage in the video. Although he dealt with the enemy in an instant, the speed of resolution showed his combat strength. Looking at Di Leina, although she knew she was a goddess, she seemed unreliable and more like a "middle-schooler's fantasy goddess," which Qiangwei found more believable.
"Don't believe in the Goddess, huh? I'll make sure he kneels at my feet later," Di Leina said, laughing.
Seeing Di Leina's overconfident behavior, Qiangwei was even less optimistic about her. At this moment, Qiqin and Rui Mengmeng also came over. They were the only girls in the Xiong Bing Lian, so they could only join the conversation.
"What are you talking about?" Qiqin asked curiously.
"We're talking about that arrogant guy who just left. We're all beautiful women here, and he just ran off," Di Leina exaggerated Zhang Zheng's behavior, hoping to incite public outrage and gather everyone to attack him.
At this point, Du Qiangwei suddenly said to Qiqin, "Qiqin, you should have seen Zhang Zheng. He was there a few days ago during the alien invasion of Juxia City. It was only after you were injured that he took action to eliminate the aliens."
Qiqin had no impression of this, as there were so many people around on that day, and the situation was urgent. Who could remember a person they had only seen once? But hearing that Zhang Zheng had eliminated the aliens, she felt a bit favorable toward him.
"I'm going to fix him later. Are you coming?" Di Leina suddenly interjected.
"I'll go. I also want to see how impressive he really is, worth being personally invited by Old Du," Qiangwei said.
"This might not be good," Qiqin expressed some concern.
"No matter, I have to teach him a lesson. I can't stand it anymore, I'm going now." Di Leina, who was prone to excitement, stood up and led the way.
The remaining girls exchanged glances and quickly followed.
They arrived at Zhang Zheng's dormitory. They saw Di Leina kick the door open without knocking.
Inside the room, Zhang Zheng was boredly playing a game. He heard a loud crash as the door flew past his bed.
"D*mn, a terror attack!" Zhang Zheng looked towards the door and saw Di Leina's long leg.
Zhang Zheng stared dumbfounded at the group of beauties at the door. "Goddess, what are you doing?" Zhang Zheng didn't remember offending Di Leina. It was better to clarify first.
Di Leina was momentarily stunned. It seemed he really hadn't offended her, and it seemed a bit unreasonable to just go straight to fighting.
"Well… I came to familiarize myself with the team. I heard from Qiangwei that you're very impressive, so I'm here to verify your combat strength and prepare your training plan for tomorrow," Di Leina said casually.
"Yeah, right…" Zhang Zheng looked at Di Leina and then at the shattered door. "I'd be crazy to believe you."
"So, how do you want to get to know each other? Self-introduction?" Zhang Zheng asked.
"Who needs a self-introduction? I want to understand your combat strength and see your combat style. If I don't understand these, how can the team cooperate with you in future battles?" Di Leina said more forcefully as she went on.
Seeing Di Leina's firm attitude, Zhang Zheng felt the need to interrupt her. "… Di Leina," Zhang Zheng said.
"Call me Goddess," Di Leina said arrogantly.
"Alright, Goddess, how do you want to understand?" Zhang Zheng asked.
"Let's have a fight. Let me see your combat style and whether you are cannon fodder, a tank, or a ranged attacker," Di Leina said.
Sure, Zhang Zheng looked at Di Leina, who seemed ready to attack immediately if he didn't agree, and decisively compromised. "When shall we have the match?"
"Now," Di Leina said as she grabbed Zhang Zheng's arm and dragged him out.
She also comforted Zhang Zheng, "Don't worry, Goddess will go easy on you."
Seeing Di Leina's mysterious confidence, Zhang Zheng really wanted to ask her who gave her the courage to challenge him—Leung Ching Wah?
But Zhang Zheng dared not speak. He was afraid that if Di Leina understood his words, she might explode on the spot.
Watching Di Leina drag Zhang Zheng towards the training ground, Du Qiangwei and the others quickly followed. They were also very curious about the strength of Di Leina and Zhang Zheng.
… In the center of the training ground, Zhang Zheng and Di Leina faced each other, neither making the first move.
Di Leina, seeing Zhang Zheng lazily looking at her, was infuriated. She took out her weapon, the Top Sky Blade, and rushed forward without caring whether Zhang Zheng was ready.
On Zhang Zheng's side, seeing Di Leina charging at him, the Storm Battle Axe also appeared in his hand. He controlled his strength and met Di Leina's attacking blade.
The Top Sky Blade and Storm Battle Axe, two legendary weapons, clashed in front of them, sending shockwaves radiating outward from the point of contact.
