"We actually... won just like that."
"Light Bat" Mo Huaren's eyes were frozen in astonishment.
This initially weakest vs. strongest match point battle ended up like this.
No one expected Gu Yunyou would give them all such a surprise with such a fierce attitude!
The frenzied celebration continued in the stands.
At this moment, there were no college divisions; people were simply cheering for what they saw with their own eyes.
Footsteps slowly echoed from the quiet corridor.
When they saw the figure, everyone on the Dingchuan Mecha Team had a complex look in their eyes.
However, Gu Yunyou still smiled as always, paying little attention to them as he leisurely walked back to Mu Fan's side.
"What's with the arrogance?"
Song Feiguang mumbled, but witnessing the previous scene, he only dared to speak softly now.
Yet Young Master Gu didn't care at all about the discussions around him.
"Just now... that was really amazing."
Mu Fan's eyes flashed with admiration.
Although he didn't understand what had just happened, that stunning moment made Mu Fan see a true master, embedding Gu Yunyou's image deeply in the hearts of many spectators.
"I didn't mean for it to be like this."
Gu Yunyou shook his head, then grinned, "Didn't this just expose me?"
After speaking, the two exchanged a knowing smile.
Gu Yunyou chuckled, waved his hand, and looked at Mu Fan, "I might not be able to fight alongside you anymore."
"Why?"
Mu Fan had a look of surprise on his face. This level should definitely qualify him as a main force. Mu Fan even felt that he wasn't sure of victory if he faced Gu Yunyou.
He really hadn't expected that his mysterious roommate was hiding such strength.
"It's hard to explain..."
Gu Yunyou sighed.
At this moment, a strong figure with a crew-cut approached from a distance, his expression incredibly exciting—filled with surprise and doubt, among other emotions.
All in all, he had too many questions now.
"Classmate Gu, you really hid it well. What's the matter you called me over for just now?"
Not even ten meters away, Bach's face was already beaming with a bright smile.
"Tutor Bach."
Gu Yunyou elegantly nodded and said politely, "We can conclude our agreement early. Due to certain special circumstances, my current state is not suitable for the upcoming matches."
Gu Yunyou's words were completely unexpected for Bach, who widened his eyes, gaping in surprise.
Did he just hear wrong...
When he realized Gu Yunyou was speaking seriously, he immediately shook his head vehemently, "No way, absolutely not."
What a joke. A member who had secured a slot through connections turned out to be a hidden master—letting him go would truly be Dingchuan's loss.
Noticing other students behind wanting to eavesdrop, Bach waved his hand, "You guys stay back."
The students behind stopped, and Bach looked at Gu Yunyou, then at Mu Fan beside him, spreading his hand, and with a ripple, enveloped the three of them.
All outside sounds were instantly isolated.
"Now it's just us three. Can you state your reasons? The academy will surely help you solve any problem you have."
Gu Yunyou spread his hands, showing a helpless expression, "There's no problem, I'm just following our initial agreement. After participating in one match, I can choose to leave, and the academy can just find a substitute for me."
Bach's eyes widened, his mind flashing back to the scene when this guy negotiated with the academy, just as Gu Yunyou said, but at this moment...
Bach directly resorted to playing the rogue, a trick he learned from Ruan Xiongfei.
"Now is different. Your strength is enough to be Dingchuan's main force! This is the Radiant Academy's moment; countless people are watching you. You could say from the moment you won, your fame extends beyond Dingchuan. Don't you want to earn this honor?"
After speaking, Bach looked at Gu Yunyou with shining eyes, yet the mysterious noble young master moved his lips, "…Can I say I don't want to?"
At this moment, Bach almost felt like hitting someone.
"Why!"
"The tallest trees in the forest are always the first to be blown down by the wind, an old family maxim. But don't worry, Tutor Bach, I will compensate you satisfactorily."
Gu Yunyou bowed gracefully and, not waiting for Bach to retort, continued, "On top of our previous agreement, I can add another... of the same level of Ruins Technology."
When saying this, Gu Yunyou made no attempt to hide it from Mu Fan.
As Mu Fan heard those four words, his pupils contracted instantly.
Having once piloted the Extreme Special Soldier prototype and [Taigu], the Ruins-produced Meteor 3 engine left an indelible impression on him.
Until Gu Yunyou spoke, he finally understood what Young Master Gu had sponsored to the academy to get eligibility.
It turned out to be the Ruins Technology that countless major powers fought over!
One technology for one slot—this kind of business even seemed hugely profitable for the academy even to a business ignoramus like him.
And now, Gu Yunyou decided to retreat just as he was about to make a mark, at the cost of adding one more.
It also left people in awe of the power of Gu Yunyou's family.
To know, not even Black's intelligence could obtain Ruins Technology...
"Is this price enough? I suddenly feel afraid to accept this deal." Bach's expression was unpredictable; he just felt a bit dry in the mouth now.
Ruins Technology that countless families could not obtain, now two pieces were acquired in an instant.
If not for the "advance payment" successfully done by Gu Yunyou's family earlier, he would've doubted the authenticity.
"For the family, gaining the friendship of the Five Great Colleges makes this deal worth any price; that's also the attitude of my family behind me."
"What do you want?"
"The academy's friendship, which is also an important protective amulet for the family... Our family elder wishes to have a talk with Dean Tang in person."
Bach's eyes finally gleamed when he heard this seemingly presumptuous request, feeling reassured instead.
"To ease your mind, I can recommend an alternative member, and I believe his abilities will also reassure the academy, you can consider this as my personal assurance."
Hearing this, Bach finally gave a definite answer, "Hold on, I'll contact Dean Tang right away."
Fingers flying, he quickly sent an encrypted message.
About 30 seconds later, the Sky Communication gently vibrated.
Bach took it out and glanced, showing a pleased expression, "Dean Tang agreed; the meeting time can be set by you."
"Next, you can name the person you're recommending."
Bach hadn't forgotten what Gu Yunyou just said.
"This choice is also a little selfish." Gu Yunyou turned to look at Mu Fan, "For how much this recommended person can achieve... it really depends on your encouragement."
Suddenly mentioning his name, Mu Fan was quite curious about how this matter was related to him.
"Who is it?" Mu Fan and Bach asked simultaneously.
"From our same apartment... Yin Shuai." Gu Yunyou smiled, revealing a beautiful set of teeth.
"That White Hair kid!?" Bach's voice abruptly rose.
Meanwhile, Mu Fan's expression became extremely intriguing!
...
"Achoo~"
In the stands, White Hair rubbed his nose, "Is someone cursing me?"
"Is it you sneaking around, fatty!"
