Just when everyone was puzzled about why Tie Xiong was laughing, a voice full of anguish came from the field, "You damn guy, let go of me."

Everyone was taken aback, their mouths agape, unsure of why Zhao Hanxue was shouting so shrilly.

Where Luo Chao had been standing was now devoid of his figure; only shattered ice crystals on the ground shimmered with brilliance. People then turned their gaze to the other protagonist of this battle. Instantly, they were left speechless, not knowing what to say.

One of his hands held Zhao Hanxue's swinging right palm, while the other incessantly caressed her buttocks. Luo Chao had a look of enjoyment on his face, thinking, despite this woman's icy demeanor, her figure beneath the white coat was quite fiery and sexy. He gently patted twice, thinking, the elasticity is undeniable.

Zhao Hanxue's pretty face flushed with anger. She had never had her bottom touched by anyone before. In her impulsiveness, she released two Ice Cones, aiming straight for Luo Chao's eyes.

Luo Chao only acted out of frustration. If he hadn't dodged in time earlier, Zhao Hanxue's ice blade could have almost split him in two. He only rushed over to pat her butt in response, though he now slightly regretted it.

Seeing the Ice Cone coming her way, he quickly retreated two steps, but the distance was too close. He couldn't fully dodge it. A shallow cut appeared on his left cheek, a trickle of blood seeped from the tiny wound, instantly freezing into a blood clot hanging on his face.

"Smack." Luo Chao reached up and plucked the blood clot off his face, squinting his eyes. Now he was really a bit angry. Was it necessary to go for the kill just because he touched her butt once?

Throughout this skirmish, Luo Chao had already discovered what Zhao Hanxue's weakness was. She possessed a body full of Superpower, yet had no experience in fighting others. She could only blindly form Ice Cones and Ice Blades to attack the enemy, and became flustered when someone got close.

He had no intention of using the small Five Elements Divine Talisman, which was his life-saving trump card with usage limits. He didn't want to waste it on a casual spar. Besides, dealing with a woman like Zhao Hanxue required no such thing; some close-combat techniques were sufficient to handle her.

Just as Luo Chao, fuming, wanted to teach the woman a lesson, Tie Xiong spoke, "Alright, this match ends here; you don't need to fight anymore. Both of you can be promoted to captains."

"No way, I want to keep fighting him; I must defeat him." Zhao Hanxue was very unwilling, her tone icy cold. She insisted on carrying the match with Luo Chao to the end. Whether this insistence was driven by the shame of having her butt touched by Luo Chao was anyone's guess.

Luo Chao, on the other hand, had no particular reaction. He originally didn't want to fight this crazy woman and had only acted out of helplessness. If he could now avoid fighting, all the better; he didn't fuss over the earlier scuffle, especially since he had pat her butt. All things considered, he had come out with some advantage.

"We're all comrades, no need to take it so seriously. Look, you're all worked up now, alright, alright, I'll approve all your requests, let's just call it a day," Tie Xiong advised soothingly.

Then suddenly, the conversation took a turn: "But I think you and Tianxuan are quite a match. How about this, since he touched you earlier, Uncle Tie will take charge and let this kid be your boyfriend, how's that?"

The two elderly men with graying beards also nodded in agreement with a smile, "I think it's a good match. A perfect couple, a match made in heaven."

The Dragon Team members started to heckle, all expressing their agreement.

At this point, Luo Chao felt utterly unwilling. Did you all suggest this after consulting the person involved, me? Bringing such a cold and violent woman home would be like asking for trouble. What if one day he woke up to find his lifeline gone—now that would be a tragedy.

So, his face almost turned green, and he hurried to speak, but someone had already objected before he could.

Zhao Hanxue, her cheeks blushing with shame, stomped her feet and urged, "You old geezers, spouting nonsense! I don't want a boyfriend. Even if... even if I did, I wouldn't choose someone so shameless and vulgar as him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chao felt incredibly frustrated. How could one say such things? Am I really as terrible as you claim? Many women would love to have me pat their butt, even if you wanted it, I wouldn't want it.

People are sometimes so peculiar; they're happy refusing others, but the moment they're refused themselves, they feel quite uncomfortable.

Immediately, he began to counter: "Vice Leader, I also feel that Miss Zhao Hanxue is too aloof. How could a little nobody like me climb up to such heights? Better to find a tall, rich, and handsome one for her. Given her beauty, she's not within the reach of us mere mortals." His words dripped with sarcasm, hinting that Zhao Hanxue might end up unmarried.

Zhao Hanxue immediately glared at him angrily, gritting her teeth as she said, "What do you mean by that? Explain yourself clearly; the one I despise most is cowards who don't dare to speak their mind."

Luo Chao shrugged, ignoring her. Anyway, he didn't like her, so why care what she thought of him?

Zhao Hanxue saw Luo Chao ignoring her and became even angrier, ready to continue arguing.

"No point in continuing, you all come with me; let's have another meeting," Tie Xiong saw that neither of the two involved were keen on his suggestion, and since the conflict between them appeared to be escalating, he dropped the proposal and called a few captains back for a meeting.

Once everyone was seated again, Tie Xiong spoke up, "Now that the positions of team captains are filled, do any of you have any objections to them taking this role?"

The other captains pursed their lips, though their hearts were displeased with the fact that the two would soon stand on equal footing with them. Still, anyone with keen eyes could see that Tie Xiong was noticeably biased towards the two, wanting them to take the captain positions, so no one openly opposed.

"Alright, I know you're unhappy. I'll be straight with you; Luo Chao has a powerful hidden treasure, and if he uses it, even you would struggle to withstand it. As for Hanxue, she developed the Superpower Potion, which has contributed immensely to Huaxia—possibly the greatest contribution ever. If she asks for a captain position, should we be stingy and deny it? Besides, her abilities aren't bad either," Tie Xiong explained in detail, noting from their expressions what was on their minds.

However, the captains didn't quite agree with his statement about Zhao Hanxue's strength. During the spar earlier, it was evident Zhao Hanxue couldn't contend with Luo Chao. Still, no one could deny Zhao Hanxue's considerable contribution, and the Vice Leader's comment seemed to be protecting the dignity of the female colleague.

It was the mention of Luo Chao's mysterious treasure by the Vice Leader that piqued their interest. They all turned their curious gazes towards Luo Chao, seemingly eager for him to produce the treasure and let them witness its marvel.
