Xiao Zheng was montarily taken aback when he heard Catherine say that Dugu Baitian had brought such an elite force, realizing that Futu’s partnership this ti was genuine and without any corner-cutting.
"In addition, for our warriors, Futu also provided each of them with a set of Southern Barbarian Vine Armor. This armor is made by drawing on the experiences from ancient vine armor, combined with so modern techniques, making its defensive power extrely strong," Catherine continued to add.
"It seems Futu has indeed invested so real capital," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"There’s more," Catherine said. "Dugu Baitian has also brought a battleship this ti, one that’s of the sa class as our mothership."
Xiao Zheng was moved upon hearing this. The Sky Net’s mothership was no ordinary vessel. Previously, Xiao Zheng had used it to sweep through several sea regions in a short ti, wiping out several of the Demon Shield Bureau’s bases, largely due to the mothership’s superior performance.
The fact that Futu is sending a battleship of the sa class as ours would undoubtedly greatly enhance Sky Net’s combat capabilities.
"In terms of intelligence, armant, and warriors, it seems we’ve prepared on all fronts," Xiao Zheng mused for a mont, waved his hand, and said, "In that case, let’s have a eting now and then set off imdiately!"
"Set off right after the eting?" Everyone was shocked, feeling that it was too rushed.
"Mr. Xiao, you’ve just finished your training; you surely need so ti to consolidate your level. There’s no need to rush," Titan advised.
Everyone else nodded in agreent.
They were all practitioners of Martial Arts, so they had so understanding of breaking through levels. After a breakthrough, the power surges, and everyone needs ti to adapt. Otherwise, their combat power might decrease during a fight.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "You don’t need to worry about that. I can handle it well."
No one knew Xiao Zheng’s true level, but it was far beyond a Martial Saint. For others, breaking through to a Martial Saint might pose a challenge with power mastery, but for Xiao Zheng, it posed no problem at all.
Seeing Xiao Zheng’s confident expression, no one said anything more, and they escorted Xiao Zheng to the control room. All the higher-ups gathered there. anwhile, Catherine specifically invited Dugu Baitian to join them.
"Brother Dugu!"
Seeing Dugu Baitian walk in, Xiao Zheng greeted him, indicating his importance.
Dugu Baitian was a peerless young king at the sa level as him, so Xiao Zheng naturally showed a certain degree of respect. This wasn’t out of fear but rather a mutual admiration between strong individuals.
Dugu Baitian nodded and was about to speak, but upon looking at Xiao Zheng, he suddenly froze. His usually icy face reflected an expression of utter shock.
"You’ve beco a Martial Saint?"
Xiao Zheng naturally didn’t hide it, smiling, "Yes, I am a Martial Saint now."
Dugu Baitian closed his eyes and stood still for a long ti before opening them again. By then, the shock on his face had disappeared, reverting back to his icy deanor.
"I didn’t expect you to break through first, putting you a step ahead of ," Dugu Baitian, usually a man of few words, spoke more than usual, earnestly looking at Xiao Zheng. "I will catch up with you soon!"
Xiao Zheng replied earnestly, "I look forward to it."
Xiao Zheng wasn’t lying.
These genuine Martial Arts monsters had reached a peak where they barely encountered opponents of the sa realm, often feeling a sense of solitude.
Dugu Baitian, being a Martial Arts monster on par with Xiao Zheng, was soone Xiao Zheng valued highly, for he could spar and exchange Martial Arts insights with him, greatly promoting each other’s progress.
Dugu Baitian said nothing more, nodded, and sat down.
Xiao Zheng also sat in the main seat, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Over the past few days, we’ve prepared everything, so I hereby declare, once this eting is over, we will imdiately set off to battle the Demon Shield Bureau!"
Everyone clenched their fists, their eyes filled with excitent. Even Dugu Baitian’s icy deanor showed a slight flicker of emotion.
Their enemy was the Demon Shield Bureau, one of the world’s five superpowers and a terrifying colossus. How could they remain calm facing such a monster?
"The purpose of this eting is not to inspire you or make your blood boil. On the contrary, I intend to douse you with a cold splash of water!" Xiao Zheng’s next words left everyone wide-eyed with surprise.
A cold splash of water?
Though surprised, the crowd didn’t voice it further, simply listening quietly.
Xiao Zheng would never do sothing pointless or trivial, so if he said so, there must be a reason for it.
"I want to talk to you about the terror of the Demon Shield Bureau and the fragility of Sky Net," Xiao Zheng’s voice, low and steady, compelled everyone to listen carefully.
"We’ve fought the Demon Shield Bureau three tis before, and each ti, Sky Net claid complete victories. Even saying we defeated the Demon Shield Bureau in disarray isn’t an exaggeration."
"I believe during this process, Sky Net’s warriors have built up confidence, even thinking that the Demon Shield Bureau is nothing much. This mindset is beneficial as it boosts morale, encouraging them to fight harder."
"But we cannot afford to think this way!"
"As leaders, those who grasp the bigger picture, we must be as cold and rational as machines. Only then can we hope for victory. Hence, we must understand the gap between us and the Demon Shield Bureau!"
Xiao Zheng gazed at everyone, his eyes as sharp as knives, "Ladies and gentlen, do you have the notion that while the Demon Shield Bureau is powerful, it’s not necessarily a match for Sky Net?"
Dragon Qie, under Xiao Zheng’s piercing gaze, had no courage to lie. He smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Xiao, you’re right. A few of us did discuss it before and felt that the Demon Shield Bureau was not that strong, more like a paper tiger."
Titan and Catherine both nodded in agreent.
"That’s wrong!"
Xiao Zheng said coldly, "And it’s a gross mistake. With such a mindset against the Demon Shield Bureau, the outco will undoubtedly be a disastrous defeat for Sky Net!"
Dragon Qie felt a bit indignant. Although he deeply respected Xiao Zheng, he couldn’t help but retort, "Mr. Xiao, aren’t you overestimating others here?"
