Stepping out from the formation, a tall, upright young man with an heroic air strode over to Lěng Yè. Standing before him, he announced in a clear voice: "I am Meng Li, captain of the first team of the Dragon God Special Operations Unit! I have come to request your guidance!" Lěng Yè offered no superfluous words, simply cupping his hands in a polite greeting. This gesture filled Meng Li with confusion: *Rumor has it that this man is arrogant and devoid of manners, so why do I sense such courtesy from him?*
At the front of the War Zone, two burly men with imposing presences sat side by side. They were none other than Luo Zengtao, commander of the Dragon God Special Operations Unit, and Feng Jicai, the deputy commander. Luo Zengtao was a true Grade Nine Grandmaster, rumored to have fought Yan Nantian to a draw. Feng Jicai had originally been a Grade Eight, but had recently broken through to Early Grade Nine with the aid of the War Zone's resources.
Upon hearing that Lěng Yè had defeated Ying Shushan, Feng Jicai had initially intended to recruit this immensely promising young man. However, the arrogant attitude and contempt for the War Zone reported by Liang Lei—particularly the insults hurled at them—led Feng Jicai to conclude that Lěng Yè was an unteachable blockhead. Consequently, he instructed Meng Li to initiate a challenge in order to blunt Lěng Yè's sharp edge, uphold the dignity of the War Zone, and strictly order Meng Li to secure victory.
