This was a textbook provocation.
And it wasn't even subtle.
Zhang Hongying's methods were clearly not of the sly and cunning variety. Her revenge was "out in the open"—the type to go for a direct confrontation from the get-go.
Gao Neng immediately understood her "spirit."
That simplified the problem.
'He now faced two choices: fight back or instantly chicken out?'
His first instinct was to say, 'Afraid? Of course I'm afraid! That's why I've decided to group with Fang Tangtang. Our power levels are the most similar!'
But after a moment's thought, he realized that backing down wouldn't do much good.
It would just lead to more verbal sparring.
But Zhang Hongying would definitely stick to the plan she had laid out.
After all, she was the instructor with power in her hands. And since she had come at him so brazenly, Gao Neng had to accept this wave of "revenge" whether he wanted to or not.
'Since that's the case…'
'I might as well fight back!'
