Because his name contains the word 'robe', Zheng Qing very subjectively thought that the battle robes Korma and Old Yao mentioned were largely no different from the wizard's robe he normally wore, perhaps just with some protective armor added to the surface, like the robes many hunting teams wear in the hunting grounds.
Until he actually saw the battle robe standing on the short cylindrical base.
Only then did he realize how wrong he was.
Rather than calling it a battle robe, Zheng Qing thought a more fitting name would be 'Mark II'—yes, the very Iron Man metal armor, from the helmet, to gloves, to boots, the whole set of armor covered every part of the body, not even revealing the eyes.
