Gu Ya did not hesitate to unleash his skills, instantly activating [Mental Acuity], [Adrenaline Surge], and [Weakness Scan].
The weaknesses of the three mechs ahead instantly appeared in Gu Ya’s vision.
It had to be said that the strength of Class B was still far inferior to Class A. The opponent’s movements were filled with many irregularities, and they revealed numerous weaknesses.
Gu Ya’s operation was even swifter and more precise.
When the "Wild Emperor" mech was halfway through its charge, Gu Ya instantly extinguished all lights, causing the opponent to lose its target.
The mech merged into the shadows, relying only on inertia to dash to the opponent’s side, then suddenly activated its thrusters.
The Wild Emperor swung the specially made hook-shaped saber in its hand, swiftly slashing at the three oncoming mechs.
The explosive speed coupled with the sharp blade edge, and Gu Ya’s superhuman operational speed,
Left countless cracks on the three mechs in just one second.
The opponent hadn’t even made any defensive moves.
The one-second skill effect disappeared, but Gu Ya’s speed did not diminish.
He instantly cut power, relying on freefall to descend below the opponent, then forcefully activated the mech, instantly flashing behind the opponent.
“Watch out! He’s behind you!” Xing Bin shouted in panic.
But as soon as his voice fell, Gu Ya had already slashed the three mechs into shutdown.
Liao Bufan and the other two were eliminated amidst the joy of certain victory.
Xing Bin gazed at the elusive and ghostly "Wild Emperor," like a god of death. For a moment, he began to doubt himself.
Gu Ya’s strength was simply beyond their comparison. Even if everyone attacked, he could easily handle it.
But the next moment, Xing Bin felt annoyed by his own thought of boosting the enemy’s morale. He instantly hardened his resolve and shouted, “Everyone, switch to long-range attack mode! All weapons at maximum load output!”
With that, the 15 mechs present flipped two anti-mech heat-seeking beam cannons from their backs, mounting them on their shoulders.
In an instant, the beam cannons erupted with tracking beams. In the night sky, they resembled several silver snakes dancing, or like immortal-binding ropes, flying straight towards Gu Ya.
Gu Ya swiftly flew towards the depths of the forest, followed by the beams that tracked Gu Ya, drawing several silver arcs.
But ultimately, they were blocked by the huge tree trunks.
Gu Ya had become like boundless darkness, completely disappearing.
Xing Bin was furious and roared, “Activate heat-tracking radar! Find him for me!”
On their mech screens, an orange-red band appeared. The band was cooling down, slowly turning blue.
This was the trail left by Gu Ya’s mech’s exhaust plume cutting through the night sky, heating the air.
Like a kite string, Gu Ya’s every path was exposed.
“Launch heat-line tracking missiles!” Xing Bin ordered,
The left and right upper limb armor of over a dozen mechs sprang open, flames erupted, and 30 missiles shot out, following the trail left by Gu Ya into the dark night.
Gu Ya was flying ahead. He wasn’t escaping but waiting for his skills to cool down.
He wasn’t foolish enough to fight 18 mechs alone.
Even if they were 18 pieces of fat meat, they would be enough for him to carve for a while.
Just then, a strange rumbling sound came from behind, like muffled thunder in the night sky, long and continuous.
Gu Ya looked back vigilantly, seeing that in the dense forest, he could vaguely see large numbers of objects tracking and flying.
It was missiles!
Gu Ya thought of this first.
How was this possible? The academy’s mechs were not equipped with missiles, let alone these precision-guided missiles that could track targets at night!
Gu Ya had little time left. He had to shake them off and make new plans.
Tonight, Gu Ya had to annihilate them.
…
Xuan Lang got out of bed, took a cold shower in the bathroom, and checked the time. It was already 1:16 AM.
“You sleep, I’m going to the camp at the jungle battlefield,” Xuan Lang said to Jiang Tingyue after getting dressed.
“Not worried?” Jiang Tingyue asked.
Xuan Lang smiled slightly and said, “Why would I be? I just want to go and see Gu Ya make a fool of himself.”
“Wouldn’t it be enough to have your subordinates keep an eye on it?”
“Some things are only worth it when you see them with your own eyes.”
Around 1:30 AM, Xuan Lang flew his hovercar to above the camp.
He looked at the scene on the ground,
His heart turned from peace to confusion!
…
It was now 9:15. Gu Ya checked the time.
Simultaneously, he piloted his mech towards the depths of the jungle. The trees there were dense, making it easy to conceal his movements and shake off the missiles.
But those missiles seemed to have eyes. No matter where Gu Ya flew, they always followed precisely, and their number did not decrease.
This puzzled Gu Ya.
Even the most advanced self-learning pathfinding tracking missiles were not this troublesome.
How could a simple set of controlled mimic units controlling routes be so precise?
He had to understand their principle!
Gu Ya flew into the air, activated the mech’s autopilot, quickly programmed a flight program for a straight trajectory.
He then opened the cockpit and flew out wearing his exoskeleton.
Fierce crosswinds blocked Gu Ya’s path. He struggled to control his legs, fine-tuned his posture, and with a powerful thrust, he flew forward to embrace a missile.
The remaining missiles whizzed past Gu Ya and shot towards the mech.
[Code Tampering]!
The missile’s code appeared before Gu Ya, scrolling up page by page. Gu Ya frowned slightly, “Heat-line tracking? That means it’s based on the principle of thermal tracking.”
The mechs flying far ahead circled back in the air.
Gu Ya used his skill to disable the missile and quickly flew back into the mech’s cockpit.
He first launched a heat decoy, but it had no effect. The missile swarm continued to chase.
Later, he directly shut down the engine. The "Wild Emperor" fell towards the jungle below in a parabolic trajectory.
Those missiles still pursued relentlessly.
This was strange.
Just then, over a dozen light sources appeared before Gu Ya.
The pursuers from Class B had arrived.
With pursuers ahead and missiles behind, Gu Ya was like a trapped beast.
He suddenly felt how difficult his situation was.
He had no choice but to go all out. Gu Ya said fiercely, unleashing full thrust, charging straight into the opponent’s formation.
Xing Bin’s heart leaped as he saw Gu Ya charging towards him and shouted, “Activate all launchable weapons! Take him down for me!”
At his command, all mech magazines sprang open, barrels spitting sparks.
Countless missiles and tracking beams shot out simultaneously.
White beams, red missile trails, and blue, yellow, and purple lights from unknown weapons painted a blooming, radiant flower in the air, like a giant colored funnel.
And at the bottom of the funnel, where all weapons and ammunition converged, was Gu Ya’s mech.
All Class B students in the jungle noticed the anomaly in the sky and activated their mechs to fly to the treetops to watch.
Liu Feng excitedly said, “What performance is that? It’s amazing!”
Hua Huijing also asked with admiration, “Is it a fireworks display? But it doesn’t feel like it.”
Facing the storm of converging death, Gu Ya smiled slightly. Just as he was about to be hit by the missiles, he instantly activated his Mech Master skill.
Xing Bin shouted excitedly, unable to wait, “Hit!”
All the Class B students present were thrilled, anticipating the sight of Gu Ya’s mech exploding after being hit by missiles and beams.
Everyone craned their necks in anticipation.
One second passed…
Two seconds passed…
Three seconds passed. The converged mass of ammunition passed through Gu Ya’s previous position and shot towards the heat-line tracking missiles behind.
The two sets of ammunition collided mercilessly,
The roaring explosions shook the heavens.
Brilliant white fire rapidly burned, forming a dazzling white sphere, like the sun in the night sky, illuminating the dark green ocean of leaves above the jungle.
“Class leader, do you think Gu Ya was actually destroyed?” Niu Feng asked, his tone uncertain.
Xing Bin dared not say. He gazed at the white sphere of light on the screen, trying to find any inconsistency to prove that Gu Ya’s mech had been destroyed.
But the other students of Class B had already started cheering excitedly.
“Gu Ya lost, hahahaha!”
“We took him down! Wasn’t he supposed to be amazing? Look at him now! Just a round of missiles and beams!”
“Gu Ya is dead this time. This revenge is finally repaid!”
Xing Bin shouted sternly, “Be quiet! We just taught him a lesson. I’ve seen the weapon parameters; the attack power isn’t strong enough to penetrate the cockpit.”
“Even if Gu Ya isn’t dead, being hit by so many weapons, it’s hard not to be crippled, haha! At least he won’t be able to pilot a mech!”
“Gu Ya is nothing special either. Going solo ultimately won’t work. Who told us we have strength in numbers!”
As everyone was chattering,
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice entered Xing Bin’s communication.
“Not necessarily.”
Xing Bin was shocked. He looked up and saw,
On the surface of that brilliant, dazzling white sphere of light, a black dot appeared.
That dot grew larger and larger until it was finally clear: it was a mech!
Xing Bin thought he was hallucinating. Everyone else also noticed the mech, and the murmurs stopped abruptly.
As everyone was stunned.
That mech disappeared into thin air once more.
Only the crisp, loud sound of the engine could be heard echoing through the surrounding night sky.
