Chapter 1601: Whoosh…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As a result, Zang Xin told Tang Wulin that the system would be assembled for Shrek’s use first after it was completed. It would shield the entire Shrek Academy and also the Sea God Lake in the future. By then, there was no need to fear even if another Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition was launched at them.
However, such a massive project could not be completed in a year or two. The prototype had already advanced after being developed by the Tang Sect for so many years. Thus, it was prioritized and assembled for Shrek Academy’s three main academic buildings in order to ensure the safety of the academy’s core zones.
The divine mecha master earlier could be described as the first test subject of the system.
The result proved that the product of Tang Sect’s over a thousand years of research was extraordinary. The divine mecha was shot down in an instant. It was just like what the voice had stated: Shrek’s airspace should not be violated.
“Whoosh!”
Meanwhile, an object shot out from the main door at this exact moment. It cut out a somewhat clumsy parabolic curve in the air before landing on a spot slightly further away from Shrek Academy.
The silhouette was moving frantically in mid-air as if he was trying to adjust his center of gravity, but he found that there was nothing he could do.
In the end, the figure landed in front of the two hundred and ninety-nine mechas with a loud ‘thump’ and fell onto his face.
It was a middle-aged man that appeared to be about forty or fifty years old. He fell with his arms and legs outstretched as if he was making an oddly shaped snow angel. He was only dressed in his undergarments, leaving most of his body exposed.
The weather was already turning cold, so the surrounding people watching him could not help shivering in sympathy.
The numerous mechas were still under the assumption that something was trying to attack them, so they scattered rapidly in response. As a result, the area around his landing spot was completely empty within a hundred meters. This made his naked fall seem even more jawdropping…
There were close to three hundred mechas! They were not moving at all, and upon this man’s arrival, the atmosphere seemed to have become stagnant.
It was especially clear to the higher-ranking mechas in front. Even though the man before them was only dressed in just enough clothing to keep from being completely indecent, they could all recognize that it was Meng Te who had fallen in such a ‘painfully graceful’ manner.
It was the renowned divine mecha master, Meng Te!
He had only just announced his title in Spirit Academy. In reality, he was also holding other title as well. For example, he was the chief mecha master of the Sea God Army and the titular president of the Mecha’s Association. He was once reputed to be the greatest of the mecha masters, with the most natural talent in over a century. He was a mecha-operating master who had developed eight mecha-operating skills in the past. It could be said that he was a legend in the mecha world.
Yes. At this exact moment, the legendary pilot had fallen in such a painfully graceful manner right outside the main entrance to Shrek Academy.
Meng Te’s status among mecha masters was basically equal to Saint Craftsman Mu Chen’s status in the forging world. He was one of the elites, preceded only by the best of the continent.
Why was he invited to Spirit Academy? It was because he had received financial aid from the Spirit Pagoda once during his early years of cultivation. It could be said that the Spirit Pagoda’s shadow had always followed behind him. Over the years, he had maintained a very close relationship with the Spirit Pagoda. Naturally, he had been asked to make an appearance when Spirit Academy was established.
As one of the three great divine mecha masters of Spirit Academy’s mecha branch, one could imagine how great his abilities were. Thus, it was truly a pitiful sight to see him in such a tragic state!
For some reason, even the people from Spirit Academy were feeling rather amused by the situation.
Meng Te was an arrogant man. He was not a social person and he had very few friends in his life. He had always considered himself superior to others. As a result, even the other mecha teachers working in Spirit Academy did not have a good impression of him. It was only due to his formidable abilities that they would comply with his demands.
It was this distinguished man that was tossed out from Shrek Academy dressed in only his undergarments. Other than making a grand display of Shrek Academy’s dominance, it had also given a small amount of pleasure to those people that were not overly fond of Meng Te…
Of course, there was also no lack of sympathy, especially from the other two divine mecha masters.
A divine mecha master capable of being a game changer on the battlefield was tossed out upon entering Shrek Academy’s airspace. It had only taken about one minute for the entire process. Moreover, Shrek Academy’s faculty did not even bother to appear. The staff in charge of enrollment continued registering students as if they had not seen the three hundred mechas at all.
After seeing what had happened, the three hundred mechas dared not fly over anymore.
Was Shrek so powerful?
Meng Te’s body convulsed and he struggled to get up from the ground. His nose was bleeding profusely while his face was red and swollen. It was obviously not because he was beaten, but because he was furious.
The more arrogant a person was, the more they prioritized their reputation. There was no doubt that Meng Te was like that.
At this very moment, his upper body was naked under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Moreover, the fact that he was tossed out of his divine mecha was even more frightening. How could he put up with this?
He could still clearly remember how he suddenly lost control of his mecha. A current of intense energy had then lashed onto his body, and he felt violent tremor coursing through him before his mecha dropped down from the sky.
However, a divine mecha was capable of protecting the soul master very well. He was not injured during the process. Then, the mecha was opened up.
In a normal situation, a divine mecha was equipped with exceedingly strong defenses. Unless it was allowed by the mecha master, there was utterly no way the mecha could be opened from the outside. Yet, that was exactly what happened to his mecha.
At the time, Meng Te only had one thought on his mind while his entire body was paralyzed. He thought about how his divine mecha was custom made by the Tang Sect years ago. Only a person from Tang Sect could possibly open up his mecha, right?
Then, he was captured by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man did not speak nor give any explanation to him. Instead, he removed all the equipment attached to Meng Te’s body one by one. The middle-aged man then swung his arm and tossed out Meng Te from the academy as if he was throwing away rubbish.
Such complete disgrace! This was absolutely unprecedented humiliation for him!
Meng Te was a Title Douluo-ranked powerhouse and a divine mecha master. He had always been regarded as a respected guest of honor even by the Spirit Pagoda that was reputed to be the number one organization on the continent. Since when had anybody ever treated him like this?
All at once, Meng Te felt his blood boil, as if it was about to spurt out of his veins. After a short period of recuperation, he was already capable of mobilizing the soul power in his body, so he unleashed his nine soul rings in a split second. He dashed straight for Shrek Academy’s main door with no regard as to how he looked.
The remaining two hundred and ninety-nine mechas did not move.
It was one thing for them to head over to Shrek Academy to make trouble, but it was another thing for them to dash straight into the academy in an attempt to attack the people inside. According to the Federation’s laws, this was a serious felony.
All academies regardless of rank were a place to educate students and a place of cultivating the future generation for the Federation. It was absolutely forbidden for anyone to attack an academy. Moreover, it was considered an extremely serious offense.
Earlier, Meng Te had been planning to show off his prowess in the airspace above Shrek Academy. He wanted to openly propose a challenge, not to attack the academy, but a mecha challenge. He was planning to humiliate Shrek because he did not expect that Shrek would still be in possession of a divine mecha any longer.
Even so, at this point, he did not care about anything else as he was blinded by rage. He only wanted to wreak vengeance upon Shrek and do them as much damage as possible. On the other hand, the rest of the mecha masters were no fools! They refused to join his attack on Shrek Academy because it would result in great trouble!
As a result, they hesitated for a while at first. Then, Meng Te became the first to dash into the academy.
The people queueing up by the door were all students and parents. Seeing a Title Douluo dashing over in such a ferocious manner while unleashing nine soul rings from his body led to a panic.
