But Roland was different, who exactly was Roland? Hardly ever fought in a war, wasn't much of a talker. You have to understand, the brothers in the military usually spent their time shooting the breeze and talking about women together, yet she gave off the impression of being a woman — no, perhaps describing her as effeminate would be more fitting. Of course, at that time, Zhang Xiaobo still had no idea that Roland was female.

It wasn't until that incident when Roland shifted the fleet to the left to guard it, and subsequently rescued Dovir from the hands of Kexiao not once, but twice, that such rumors emerged. From that point on, Roland's reputation skyrocketed, and there was no one who did not know of her existence.

Besides, Roland was the only special operative among the federal super soldiers who was chosen to pass without any examinations, her identity completely shrouded in mystery. This further fueled Fatty's suspicions about Roland's true identity.

It was only after the war had ended, and he, by a stroke of luck, ended up at the Blade Warrior's place, and from the conversations and attitudes over these days, that Fatty really understood how terrifying Roland was, and how deep the effeminate one had hidden.

The result was, he still didn't understand!

Because Fatty had never seen Roland make a move in person, but it wasn't impossible to infer Roland's strength from what others had said, for Fatty could make comparisons with Sky Shadow.

As everyone knows, the highest combat power standards set by the Combat Power Tester company are public data. That is to say, Feng Yi's personal combat index of a million would be publicly disclosed. As for the highest standard of a combat power of 66666, this is only the highest among female players.

But males are different; in terms of physical constitution, men have innate advantages, whether it's strength, stamina, or an impressive bearing, which are unattainable for women.

Of course, females have their advantages too. If the strength of males lies in their power, stamina, and an unstoppable, persistent, and resolute momentum,

Then, the advantages of females lie in their sharp minds, meticulous observations, delicate and thorough understanding, agile movements, being able to find the opponent's weaknesses and counterattack effectively in the blink of an eye.

Fatty was not unaware of how formidable Sky Shadow was; even if he didn't grasp the full extent of Sky Shadow's abilities, he knew how powerful Feng Yi was. Before using the Combat Power Tester, he had never imagined that Sky Shadow's powers could surpass Feng Yi's and break through the one million mark.

Moreover, there was Kexiao whose strength might not be inferior to Sky Shadow's. From everyone's conversations, Fatty tentatively concluded that Sky Shadow's current strength might be on par with Kexiao's, but Roland's power was greater than both.

After all, upon boarding the Time-Space Transfer Device, Fatty had heard from the conversation between Roland and Kexiao. Admittedly, he hadn't thought much of it at the time, but he wasn't dense; he discerned from what Kexiao meant - Kexiao simply couldn't fathom the depth of Roland's abilities, which was why he called Roland out separately and asked her about her realm.

Roland's answer at the time was the Martial God Realm, a level Kexiao couldn't even identify, which even a significant figure like him pondered over for a moment. It suffices to say that Roland's realm was at such a height that it was inscrutable even to him, much like the ancient saying goes: never try to guess a person's capabilities until you've reached a certain height yourself.

Of course, Fatty only jokingly held them back and pretended to ask if they were fooling around, not really thinking that they were—though it was partly to tease Roland subtly. Roland, clearly, didn't take it to heart at the time.

At this moment, Fatty could roughly guess that Roland's strength might be stronger than Kexiao's, but he had yet to confirm this; after all, he was just an ordinary person. Even though he possessed the combat level of a First-Order warrior, stronger than a special operative by a significant margin, he was essentially still an ordinary person. In other words, he couldn't catch bullets, nor could he scale walls and rooftops. However, he was gradually nurturing an instinct—an instinct for the battlefield. When an opponent draws a weapon, his first thought is never about how to dodge, but to observe the opponent's shooting action and then to consider the opposite position and to simulate evading accordingly.

This simulated time is very brief, not even a full second long, but it is the basic standard for entering the Rank 2 warrior stage, and could also be called a prerequisite condition—It is well-known that most Rank 2 warriors are also unable to catch bullets with their bare hands, even pistol bullets, yet they can easily dodge them. In fact, the current level of combat of someone like the chubby guy is constantly approaching Rank 2.

However, Sky Shadow and Kexiao are different; the strength of Sky Shadow and Kexiao has long surpassed this threshold, beyond Rank 2, and even beyond First-Order. This realm is nameless to him, but in any case, it is awesome.

But even such awesome people, during the days on the Time-Space Transfer Device, in every gesture and action, in the words they said to Roland, all indicated that Roland's realm was above them both.

Just like a moment ago, when Kexiao passed the question of someone on the ground locking onto everyone's breath to Roland, it is evident that a person as impressive as Kexiao would not waste time on meaningless issues. Yet, in front of Roland, he didn't hesitate to ask her how she saw the issue, while Kexiao did not ask Sky Shadow.

Why? The answer is clear: Sky Shadow's strength is not higher than Kexiao's, at least not significantly.

And when Sky Shadow spoke, his gaze was also subtly in the direction of Roland, not Kexiao. This only proved that not only did Kexiao think this way, even Sky Shadow did not plan to seek Kexiao's opinion, but instead, there was an implicit sense of asking Roland in his tone.

From this, one can discern the problem; Roland's realm is above both of them. Although it is not known whether realm is directly related to combat strength, there must be some connection, which is the reason Zhang Xiaobo determined that Roland was very formidable.

But as formidable as she is, Roland is not willful; instead, she is rather amiable. In regard to any issue that is not nonsense, it's possible to have a chat with her. This was unexpected for the chubby guy, unlike the totally different attitudes of Kexiao and Sky Shadow.

Sky Shadow's haughtiness is written on his face. At such crucial moments, he would communicate or even consult, but other times, Sky Shadow rarely appeared in the lobby, spending more time hiding in his room, either training or doing other things.

Compared to Sky Shadow, Kexiao's personality seems more amiable, but what made Zhang Xiaobo feel different is that Sky Shadow seems more genuine, while Kexiao leans towards pretense. Sometimes he answers you, other times he considers the question too foolish, not even worthy of acknowledgment—at least that's the clearest perception for the chubby guy. It's clear that Kexiao does answer others' questions, but occasionally ignores him, or simply shrugs his shoulders or closes his eyes, shaking his head, indicating nothing to say in response.

In short, this person gives the impression that you can't read him.

After all, having spent so much time in Freedom Port Sky City, everyone is considered friends to some extent, deserving some face-saving courtesy. But such things don't seem to exist in the eyes of Kexiao.

At least, the coldness of Sky Shadow could be perceived as cold on the outside but warm on the inside. With time, the chubby guy realized that even when Sky Shadow refused, it was with a cold grunt or a straightforward rejection.

But Kexiao is different; he does not speak casually, is not expressive, does not play by conventional rules. To put it in modern terms, he takes the path less traveled, inscrutable, which leaves the chubby guy extremely annoyed.

Hmm, how did my thoughts drift to Kexiao again? Everyone's current situation is already very awkward, being locked on, while situated in outer space, how dangerous is that? As a bolt of lightning in the sky flickers momentarily, followed by a boom of thunder, the chubby guy, much like a fertilized fat cat, snaps back to reality and continues listening to Roland and Sky Shadow's conversation. To his surprise, he had been in a daze for three whole seconds. Damn it!
