The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

"Instructor?"

If you're going to act, you have to go all the way. After all, I genuinely wanted to have some fun with these guys and see if they'd been slacking off while I was away.

So Li Zhen pretended to have a gloomy expression and repeated the key words from Ma Er's previous statement.

Fortunately, for a typical Wittrum, a blank, disdainful expression is the most fitting state, requiring absolutely no acting skills.

Sure enough, seeing that the "enemy" seemed to have the potential to communicate, the young Titans immediately started to have their own ideas.

Blue Beetle Haimei, who has always been the most cunning and sly, immediately stepped forward, trying to use his quick wit, which he has always been proud of.

"Um, yes, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us, after all..."

While gesturing dramatically with her arms to try and make her words more convincing, Hai Mei turned to look at the others, her visor briefly popping open as she frantically winked at them.

When it turned back, the mask closed, attempting to avoid being caught by the other party's micro-expressions and thus easily exposed the lie.

"Actually, we're in cahoots with Instructor Gentle. We all deeply admire the Vitrum Empire, and this base is specifically for training the vanguard forces that will eventually meet the Empire!"

Li Zhen raised an eyebrow and gestured to Kara, who was lying on the ground, and Tim, who was standing stiffly not far behind the blue beetle.

"Those two people didn't seem to be saying that." As a result, Blue Beetle showed no embarrassment at being exposed for lying. Instead, it took a few quick steps and came straight to Li Zhen.

"That's because the instructors once assessed that Earth is not so easy to conquer; there is an absolute powerhouse on this planet."

The blue beetle used its hands to pull out a huge circle in the air.

"He's incredibly strong, and he can monitor the entire globe at any time! The instructors believe they can't defeat him, so they arranged for us to lie in wait, hoping to receive support from other Witrumians someday—like you!"

Li Zhen almost lost her composure this time.

This kid still enjoys cheating as always. He figured out that Jaime didn't want to fight a Witrumman at all, but was planning to stall for time and wait for Superman to arrive.

But a pity.

The only thing Hai Mei hadn't anticipated was that Li Zhen planned to test the mettle of both the Teen Titans and the Justice League today.

Whether it's delayed or not is irrelevant to Li Zhen.

However, even though Li Zhen saw through the tricks of these sly little devils, she didn't intend to expose them.

He certainly wouldn't use his full strength; suppressing his overall abilities to around level 70 would be enough to start this impromptu test.

Then, when facing tactics, he pretended to fall for it and let the Titans perform, saving them from having their confidence shattered after a test. He feigned a frown, his suspicious gaze sweeping over everyone, before noticing that Mia and Shazam (Billy) were missing from the team.

However, Rachel had already secretly returned to inquire beforehand, and Mia was simply too weak after being infected with the mutated virus, so she was probably still recuperating.

However, such realistic simulation opportunities are rare, so it's not too late to pay attention to them after today's surprise test is over.

Of course, no one knew what this unfamiliar instructor was thinking, because they never imagined that Li Zhen would not only be resurrected, but also grow older and taller out of thin air.

At this moment, they were all incredibly shocked by Hai Mei's boldness and quick wit, and also worried about the "enemy's" movements, wondering if they would attack Hai Mei without warning.

Under their tense gazes, the young-looking Witrum man twitched the corner of his mouth.

"A mere planet rated as a resort area in the database has a powerful individual?"

Seeing that the other person didn't quite believe her, Hai Mei quickly raised her hands.

"Really, I swear! And we even successfully turned a young member of that powerful individual's race against us. They are not from Earth; you'll see for yourself."

A soft footstep sounded behind the Teen Titans.

As the crowd dispersed, Billy Batson, biting his lip and fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, walked up to Li Zhen with a 'delicate' air.

"Is this the juvenile form of that powerful race you were talking about?" Li Zhen asked, trying her best to keep a straight face, as she reached out her hand to Billy's shoulder.

"I'll see just how strong it really is."

Billy held back until Li Zhen's hand landed on his shoulder, at which point he finally revealed a triumphant smile.

"Shazam!"

Thunder still struck from a clear sky.

A tremendous impact and a burst of lightning erupted. Li Zhen, billowing smoke, struggled to fly backward, marveling at the sight.

These Titans really gave him a pleasant surprise. He didn't see any eye contact or communication, yet they were able to execute an effective tactic in such a short time.

According to Li Zhen's estimation, a normal Witrumian would have been almost completely wiped out by such a magical lightning strike.

On the rooftop, Shazam, having simultaneously transformed and launched his attack, clenched his fists and jumped up with a look of wild joy on his face.

"Yes!"

Tim finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran back to Kara's side. He took out a silver-white spherical metal object and covered Kara's face, which was covered in blood and had her nose bone shattered.

While administering the aid, he turned back and solemnly warned the others, "Don't let your guard down. We don't know if Witrum has any other reinforcements. We must join forces with the Justice League now, or Earth will face annihilation..."

Tim's words caught in his throat.

The crowd, who had been slightly relaxed, were startled and turned around with difficulty, watching helplessly as the young man from Witrum, covered in blue smoke, flew back onto the rooftop. His eyes clearly showed three parts indifference, three parts mockery, and three parts slight anger.

They watched in horror as the other man lightly scraped away the blood flowing from below his left nostril with his thumb. The man, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Zhen, spoke with a clearly suppressed ferocity.

"Looks like my brother hasn't trained you all well enough, you little liars~"

Shazam's ecstatic expression faded as he stiffened. He stepped in front of everyone, raised his fists, and clenched his teeth, trying to draw their attention to himself.

Before Superman and the others arrived, he was the only protection for the rest of the Teen Titans.

Two crisp metallic buzzes interrupted Shazam's sense of responsibility, as if he were facing a raging storm.

Donna, holding a sword, and Tura, carrying a silver trident, walked to either side of Shazam.

Although they are not as strong as Shazam and Karana, they are among the few superhumans in the Teen Titans.

This group of Titans, who had not yet had years of experience fighting together in a strict sense, displayed teamwork for the first time in their lives.

A fleeting sense of admiration crossed Li Zhen's mind. If these kids were truly only capable of lying and stalling for time, then he would definitely have to train them even more rigorously once he revealed their identities. But for now, it seemed they at least had the resolve to be warriors.

Tim's signal, sent under the cover of smoke, has already been answered. Lee Jung keenly sensed the tremors in Earth's atmosphere and estimated that Superman would arrive soon.

With a smirk, a gust of air rose from beneath him, and with a loud bang, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The three at the front sharpened their eyes, but they didn't expect that the other party would just dart in front of them for a moment, and then make a rather tricky sharp turn in the air, knocking away the blue beetle not far behind them.

Haimei was sent flying backwards, her crotch almost soaked with fear. Fortunately, the Blue Beetle Armor's defense and shock absorption capabilities were also top-notch, belonging to the DC universe's black technology. In her dazed state, she quickly raised her arm and conjured a high-energy hand cannon to retaliate.

But the "enemy" in the eyepiece scanner just grinned maliciously, pressed one hand against the blue beetle's chest, and with the other hand, it transformed into a blade and slashed, directly cutting the hand cannon that was charging up into oblivion.

The hymen, whose spinal cord was connected to the blue beetle system, let out a cry of pain as if its own arm had been severed.

But the other party didn't seem to have any intention of giving him time. He raised his hand again, his five fingers clenched into a fist.

"We have a similar guy back home. You guys who hide in metal shells are all just as ridiculous."
