Baya is extremely confident in the defenses offered by his heavenly mechanic armor. His strategy is to wear out Michael's strength. Seeing Michael coming with fierce momentum, he simply stands still and allows Yang's palm to impact against his chest.
Witnessing this, Lucy from a far distance coolly says,
"Baya gave up resisting and hopes to wear down Michael's inner energy with the help of his armor. This behavior is quite despicable! What’s the difference between this and admitting defeat? If not for his well-armored shell, he would have already been defeated."
Upon hearing these words, the people of the Sky Mech Tribe look somewhat embarrassed.
Initially, they thought Michael did not even have the qualification to spar with their tribal leader.
They saw this battle as an opportunity for their leader to give pointers to Michael, at best.
However, shortly after, they suddenly realized that Michael was fully capable of challenging their leader.
