Thus, Zang Xin had told Tang Wulin that this system was going to be reserved for Shrek Academy and the entire Sea G.o.d"s Lake. Once it was complete, even G.o.dslayer missiles wouldn"t post a threat anymore.
Such a ma.s.sive project couldn"t be completed anytime soon, but the prototype that the Tang Sect had developed was ready to be used, so it was installed around the three main school buildings to ensure the safety of that area.
It could be said that the red mecha just now was the first test subject to face the wrath of the defense system, and as it turned out, the defense system was just as powerful as Zang Xin had proclaimed.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Right at this moment, an object flew out of Shrek Academy, arcing through the air in a rough parabolic trajectory before landing outside the academy.
This was a humanoid figure that was desperately trying to stabilize itself in mid-air, but seemed to be unable to do so.
In the end, it landed facefirst right in front of all of the mechas amid a dull thump.
This was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties or fifties, and he had fallen to the ground in a spread-eagled fas.h.i.+on. He was completely nude aside from a pair of underpants, and the mechas had all quickly dispersed, thinking that this was some type of offensive projectile.
As such, the area in a radius of 100 meters around him was completely empty, putting his near-nudity on full display.
The atmosphere instantly congealed, and the high-grade mecha pilots at the very front were able to instantly recognize that this sorry-looking figure was none other than the vastly renowned divine-grade mecha pilot, Meng Te!
Aside from his role at Spirit Academy, he was also once the premier mecha pilot of the Sea G.o.d Legion, an honorary chairman of the mecha pilot a.s.sociation, and was widely regarded as the most exceptional mecha pilot of the past century. He had invented eight different mecha maneuvers, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was a legend in the world of mecha pilots.
However, this legend had just been hurled out of Shrek Academy in only his underwear like a dirty trash bag.
Meng Te"s status among mecha pilots was equivalent to Mu Chen"s status among blacksmiths, and he had accepted the invitation of Spirit Academy as he had received financial support from the Spirit PaG.o.da during the earlier days of his cultivation.
As such, he had maintained very close ties with the Spirit PaG.o.da, and he naturally wasn"t going to be absent on such an important occasion.
As one of the mecha division"s three divine-grade mecha pilots, he was a very powerful man, yet he had been completely and utterly humiliated.
However, even some of the people from Spirit Academy were struck by the urge to laugh.
Meng Te was a very conceited man who didn"t have many friends, and was always very condescending to those around him. As such, even the other mecha teachers of Spirit Academy didn"t have a good impression of him. However, no one dared to oppose him due to his power and status.
It was this very same arrogant figure who had just been thrown out of Shrek Academy in his underwear, and for those who couldn"t stand his c.o.c.ky demeanor, they were somewhat satisfied by his sorry display.
However, it was still very much worthy of alarm that a divine-grade mecha pilot was struck down and thrown out of Shrek Academy within the span of a minute.
Furthermore, no one had even emerged from Shrek Academy to address the situation. Their enrollment continued as if they hadn"t even seen the 300 mechas, but none of the mechas dared to approach the academy.
Was Shrek Academy still this powerful?
Meng Te"s body was trembling as he struggled to his feet, and blood was flowing out of his nostrils. His face was completely flushed red, but it was from fury rather than from any physical injuries.
The more arrogant a person was, the more they cared about their reputation, yet he had just been thrown out in his underwear in front of so many people, and he had even lost his divine-grade mecha; how could he bear such humiliation?
He could still recall that his mecha had suddenly malfunctioned, following which a powerful electric current had struck his body, and his mecha then plummeted out of the sky.
Divine-grade mechas were able to protect their pilots exceptionally well, so he wasn"t injured, but as soon as he landed, his mecha was opened from the outside.
Divine-grade mechas had immense defensive prowess, and unless their pilot opened them from the inside, there should"ve been no way for such mechas to be opened from the outside.
At the time, Meng Te was still paralyzed from the electric shock, and a thought had suddenly occurred to him: this divine-grade mecha had been constructed for him by the Tang Sect, so only people from the Tang Sect would"ve been able to open it from the outside!
After that, he was wrenched out of the mecha by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man didn"t say anything; he merely stripped Meng Te of all of his mecha pilot equipment and clothes, then threw him out of the academy like a piece of garbage.
This was unforgivable!
Meng Te was a t.i.tled Douluo and a divine-grade mecha pilot. Even in the almighty Spirit PaG.o.da, he was treated as an esteemed guest; when had he ever been humiliated like this before?
Meng Te felt as if his blood were about to boil over and spill out of his own body! He had recovered from his paralysis and was able to draw upon his soul power again, and he immediately released his nine soul rings before rus.h.i.+ng directly toward Shrek Academy without paying any heed to his current appearance.
None of the other mechas followed him in his maddened charge.
It was one thing to provoke Shrek Academy, but directly attacking the academy was a major federal crime.
All academies and schools were places of education to nurture the younger generation, so attacking any school was strictly prohibited by law and also heavily frowned upon.
As such, Meng Te had only planned to issue a challenge to Shrek Academy. Issuing a challenge wasn"t a direct attack, and he was confident that Shrek Academy didn"t have any divine-grade mechas, so he was merely trying to embarra.s.s them.
However, he was now blinded by his own fury, and all he wanted to do was to destroy the academy to avenge himself. In contrast, the other mecha pilots were far more level-headed, and they knew that all of them would be in ma.s.sive trouble if they were to attack Shrek Academy with Meng Te.
Thus, Meng Te was the only one charging toward Shrek Academy.
There was a long line of students and parents gathered in front of the academy, and they immediately began to panic at the sight of the enraged t.i.tled Douluo.
