The Need for a Fight

The atmosphere inside the meeting room suddenly became tense.

Upon hearing Wang Hu's words, not only the others, but even Zhang Weijun standing to the side couldn't help but frown.

Shen Heng raised his hand to stop Han Ling, who was about to step forward.

He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Hu.

"So, do you think teammates are stakes that can be traded?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the quiet conference room.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu subconsciously frowned and said, "No, I don't think so!"

"But you did it!" Shen Heng said clearly.

Wang Hu frowned, his gaze fixed on Shen Heng.

Shen Heng looked back, his eyes seemingly frozen in a thin layer of ice.

Those around them either frowned or watched the standoff with serious expressions.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Hu lowered his eyes and spoke in a deep voice:

"I apologize, I take back what I just said."

After speaking, he raised his gaze again, looking firmly at Shen Heng.

"But regarding another point, my doubts about your role as captain still remain."

"At least he's not a complete idiot without a brain..." Shen Heng looked at Wang Hu, the coldness in his eyes dissipating slightly.

He wasn't really interested in the captain's position, but Wang Hu's manner just now...

Just as he was about to speak, a deep shout rang out in the conference room.

"Enough!"

Zhang Weijun finally spoke, his stern gaze sweeping over the two men before finally settling on Wang Hu.

"Wang Hu, stop with your act!"

"Although you are now a member of the Supervision Bureau, you are also a warrior!"

"The orders given by the base are for you to execute, not for you to question."

"Also, teammates aren't a gamble; don't let me hear that again."

"Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just criticism!"

Zhang Weijun spoke in a deep voice, exuding an imposing aura that came from his long-term high position.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu frowned repeatedly, but finally suppressed his anger and said, "Alright, I understand!"

Seeing Wang Hu's somewhat unconvinced expression, Zhang Weijun spoke again:

"Also, this mission is of great importance. Headquarters has its reasons for deciding who will be the team leader, so don't let me down at this crucial moment."

Hearing this, Wang Hu, though still somewhat unconvinced, replied without hesitation:

"Don't worry, I can definitely do that."

"That's good!"

As Zhang Weijun spoke, his gaze shifted to the others, but before he could say anything, it settled on Shen Heng.

Shen Heng stepped forward and stepped out.

"Commander-in-Chief, how about I fight him? Otherwise, going out like this won't be good for team coordination," Shen Heng said calmly, looking at Zhang Weijun.

Zhang Weijun looked at Shen Heng calmly.

The people around looked over in surprise; they had thought it would end there.

Wang Hu was also somewhat taken aback. He looked up at Shen Heng and asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

Are you sure?

Shen Heng slowly shifted his gaze over, and said calmly,

"Certainly!"

Looking into those calm eyes, Wang Hu's lips quickly curled into a smile.

"Fine, based on that statement alone, I'll acknowledge you as the person I am. The rules remain the same: I'll draw a circle on the ground, and if you can force me out of the circle, you win!"

"That won't be necessary. It's not fair to you, and I don't really need it either," Shen Heng said calmly.

Wang Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak, only silently watching Shen Heng.

Under his gaze, Shen Heng remained calm and spoke clearly:

"I might be much stronger than you think."

After saying that, he ignored Wang Hu's furrowed brows as he pondered something, and instead turned his gaze to Zhang Weijun, who was standing to the side.

Zhang Weijun gave Shen Heng a deep look.

This kid isn't entirely like what Daoist Master Li said...

He slowly moved his gaze, scanning over everyone before finally settling on Shen Heng and Wang Hu.

Without any attempt to dissuade him, Zhang Weijun spoke up:

"In that case, let's switch to..."

A moment later, the group walked towards the outside of the base.

Zhou Xuan moved closer to Shen Heng and whispered:

"No way, Shen Heng, you must know how many people Wang Hu has fought in the base recently, right? And you fought him too?!"

"Why can't we fight?" Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan.

"We'll lose!" Zhou Xuan said, his eyes widening slightly.

In his view, the battle was completely meaningless.

After all, Wang Hu had just been suppressed by Zhang Weijun, so there was no need for him to fight.

What's more, and most importantly, we wouldn't be able to win a fight!

Wang Hu has become quite famous within the base recently, and many people have witnessed his battles, including Zhou Xuan himself.

Based on what he saw at the time, he felt that he could at least have a friendly spar, but to win?

It seems unlikely!

After all, Wang Hu's abilities seem to have no weaknesses.

And Shen Heng...

Just like how the higher the level of the Calamity Beast, the stronger its threat level will be assessed.

The higher the level, the more pronounced the weaknesses of lower-level abilities become!

Shen Heng turned his gaze back to the road ahead.

He didn't explain further, but instead whispered:

"No matter what, we'll only know once we start fighting, right?"

Having said that, he ignored Zhou Xuan and quickened his pace forward.

No, we'll only know after a fight breaks out... Zhou Xuan frowned as he looked at Shen Heng walking ahead.

This... doesn't seem like someone who's lost their mind.

Has its Ability Evolution to A-Class?

Ugh, I should have asked earlier!

With uncertain thoughts in mind, Zhou Xuan quickened his pace and caught up.

Qin Yu watched silently from the side.

The group quickly arrived at the city wall.

Han Ling glanced at Wang Hu, who had taken a few steps and jumped off the city wall, then turned her gaze to Shen Heng.

"Do we absolutely have to fight?"

"Yes, otherwise there might be problems with our operations outside later. Besides, this opportunity can also dispel some of his ideas." Shen Heng stood by the city wall.

"Can we win?" Han Ling said softly.

"Not necessarily, but a draw should be no problem," Shen Heng said.

Upon hearing this, Han Ling nodded slightly, said nothing more, and instead instructed:

"Careful!"

Shen Heng nodded slightly, tapped his toes on the city wall, and his figure descended downwards.

The two stopped about a kilometer outside the base and then looked at each other.

Beast Transformation grants a comprehensive enhancement to all physical abilities, resulting in terrifying close-range destructive power and exceptional defensive capabilities...

Shen Heng looked at Wang Hu, his mind racing through information about Wang Hu.

All-around, terrifying destructive power, and superb defense...

Destructive power isn't a concern; even if it doesn't reach a terrifying level, I wouldn't risk my body to withstand it. But defense...
