Heiye saw Gu Ya return and rushed to meet him excitedly.
"Gu Ya!! You're amazing!" Heiye shouted.
Liu Feng was so excited he was about to cry, "I really didn't expect this, Gu Ya! Your strength is definitely elite!"
Only Xu Jie stood alone in the distance, turning his head away.
"Gu Ya, I'm sorry, I was misled by Xu Jie and thought it was impossible to win. In the next decisive battle, I'll fight alongside you!" Heiye said.
Gu Ya smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Even if you know you'll lose, lose with glory, don't leave regrets."
Wu Chuyang shouted from the stands, "Class A, Class E, gather!"
A few minutes later, the five combatants assembled below the stands. In front of all the teachers and students, Wu Chuyang announced, "After discussion by the school leadership and due to the late hour, we have decided to settle the outcome in a single match. Do the two classes have any objections?"
The three students from Class A said in unison, "No!"
A single decisive match was advantageous for Gu Ya. He could defeat the opponent with an utterly unexpected tactic, and it would also prevent the opponent from deciphering his strategy and counteracting it.
Heiye dared not make a decision and looked at Gu Ya. Gu Ya said, "No objections."
Wu Chuyang nodded and said, "Alright, if anyone needs to change mechs, speak up now. Otherwise, the battle will begin in 15 minutes!"
Both sides returned to their resting areas. Gu Ya, with a grim expression, found Xu Jie again and asked coldly, "Xu Jie! If you come back now, we can still discuss this."
Xu Jie let out a light laugh and said nothing more.
Liu Feng said, "Gu Ya, he's treating you like this, you don't need to consider him."
Gu Ya replied, "I know, Liu Feng, but what if this were a life-or-death battlefield? One more teammate means one less enemy."
Liu Feng was shocked. When had Gu Ya started thinking about war? Did he always view these matches as bloody conflicts?
Seeing Gu Ya's resolute expression, Liu Feng's admiration for his friend grew.
Fifteen minutes later, on the battlefield, all five participating students were in position.
Wu Chuyang reiterated, "As long as you don't injure anyone, you can fight however you want!"
With a long, piercing whistle, the final decisive battle of the class combat officially began.
"Heiye, remember the tactic. No matter who they focus fire on first, just defend," Gu Ya said quickly.
"Understood!" Heiye replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three members of Class A charged directly at Gu Ya.
"Just in time! Heiye, attack from the periphery!" Gu Ya shouted and accelerated his mech.
The three Class A members quickly changed their strategy. Shao Yang faced Gu Ya head-on, while Wang Yu and Fei Ming turned to attack Heiye.
"Playing feints?" Gu Ya immediately understood the opponent's tactic.
Heiye's skills were ultimately insufficient. Facing the onslaught of two elite students, he couldn't hold on and quickly retreated towards a corner.
Gu Ya tried to support him, but Shao Yang grabbed his mech's legs, preventing him from moving forward.
"You're forcing my hand," Gu Ya declared, activated his flight program, and accelerated, taking Shao Yang into the air.
Heiye was forced into a corner, shielding his vital upper body with his arms. However, the punches from Wang Yu and Fei Ming were powerful and sharp, and Heiye couldn't last long.
Gu Ya was anxious. Regardless of Shao Yang beneath him, he desperately accelerated his mech.
Suddenly, with a "CRASH!", Heiye's mech collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
In less than a minute of the match, Gu Ya was the only one left on the field.
"Gu Ya, I'm sorry, I'm just too weak," Heiye called out apologetically.
"It's okay, I'll handle it myself!"
With that, Gu Ya quickly activated his reverse auxiliary thrusters, taking Shao Yang in a rapid descent, intending to crush Shao Yang against the ground.
Shao Yang quickly released Gu Ya and flew a short distance in the air.
A shocking event occurred.
All the teachers and students gasped again!
Shao Yang also hovered steadily in the air, his mech's body perfectly balanced, his flight posture extremely precise.
"It's very simple. After activating the mech's flight program, engage the airflow shroud, close the armor baffle, maintain thruster output at 25%, auxiliary propulsion at 13.8%. Hold the control sticks steady with both hands, constantly monitoring the mech's flight data, including attitude, wind resistance, convection, laminar flow, resonance..."
Shao Yang's words were broadcast slowly through the public address system, his tone incredibly calm, betraying no hint of nervousness.
All the teachers and students were captivated by Shao Yang's formidable ability. He had taught himself to fly, and his first flight was incredibly stable.
This was the power of a Class A elite.
Wang Yu and Fei Ming were also stunned.
They had attempted to fly according to the procedures before, but their mechs would begin to shake after less than a minute.
Gu Ya smiled helplessly. Flying was such a rudimentary operation, why the fuss?
"Then how about this move?" Gu Ya said, activating his thrusters and lunging forward with both fists.
Shao Yang, having just learned to fly, was not yet proficient in aerial maneuvers. He passively blocked with his arms, and Gu Ya's double-fisted blow sent him crashing to the ground.
Looking at Gu Ya, who had absolute air superiority, Shao Yang said, "We need to find a way to knock him down."
Wang Yu quickly said, "Lure him!"
Shao Yang replied, "Good idea!" With that, he once again accelerated straight up into the sky.
"Here we go again?" Gu Ya flew up with both fists.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yang suddenly changed his posture in the air, extended his arms, and clasped Gu Ya's fists.
At the same time, Shao Yang activated his reverse thrusters and wrapped his legs around Gu Ya's body, forcefully dragging Gu Ya towards the ground!
On the ground, Wang Yu and Fei Ming leaped up, simultaneously accelerating their mechs, and rushed towards Gu Ya with four fists.
In less than a second, four heavy punches struck Gu Ya simultaneously.
At the same time, Wang Yu and Fei Ming grabbed Gu Ya's mech, and the three Class A members used their combined weight to forcefully drag Gu Ya back to the ground.
The moment they touched down, Wang Yu and Fei Ming punched again.
Fist after fist hammered Gu Ya's mech.
"Warning: Mech thrusters damaged."
"Warning: Mech cannot perform actions normally."
"Warning..."
Under the fierce barrage of punches from Class A, Gu Ya's mech gradually lost power.
As the mech's data continued to decline, Gu Ya's eyes grew fiercer.
Ignoring the iron fists raining down outside, he directly opened the mech's cockpit armor.
All the teachers, students, and even Wu Chuyang were stunned. Amidst the relentless barrage of punches, Gu Ya had actually emerged from his mech! He stood steadily outside the cockpit!
The three members of Class A were also shocked.
"Gu Ya, what are you doing?" Wang Yu shouted, "Are you trying to die!"
But Gu Ya paid them no mind. He summoned the [Void Package] to install leg exoskeleton armor and leaped onto Fei Ming's mech.
"[Code Tampering], activate!"
Fei Ming's mech code flashed rapidly before his eyes.
Gu Ya had long memorized the code for this model of academy combat mech. In just a few seconds, he could turn an opponent's mech into scrap metal!
Under the gaze of hundreds of teachers and students, Fei Ming's mech mysteriously shut down!
Gu Ya leaped again, landing on Wang Yu's mech.
He repeated the same tactic!
To everyone's astonishment, Wang Yu's mech opened its cockpit.
Wang Yu, in the pilot's seat, wore an expression of shock and fear.
"Gu Ya! What did you do?" Wang Yu, still bewildered, was yanked out of the cockpit by Gu Ya.
"Get out of here quickly!" Gu Ya gave Wang Yu one last look and closed the cockpit.
Under Gu Ya's operation, Wang Yu's mech restarted, its power surging!
Wang Yu, terrified, hugged his head and fled for his life.
Gu Ya piloted his mech and flew back into the air.
"Now, one-on-one, the final battle!"
