Chapter 1600: Do Not Violate Shrek’s Airspace

“Oh, alright then. But what is that door there?” The father had a suspicious look on his face as he led his son to the glowing door. For some reason, it felt as if there was a kind of force attracting them to the doorway. He could not keep himself from taking a step forward into it. When they walked in, they disappeared in an instant.

A skinny youth standing by the side of the chubby one explained to the reporters, “There’s no need to panic. The students that are found to be blessed with unique natural talents will need to register over there. It is a location that is similar to our Ten Thousand Beast Platform. There is no need for anyone to worry at all. Alright, let’s continue. Next please.”

There were many queueing up for registration. Spirit Academy was established by the Spirit Pagoda after all. The people there trusted them fully.

The registration process continued. Everything appeared to be in good order.

The reporters in charge of the interviews had seen what happened at the door. However, they were similarly under the assumption that this was the Spirit Pagoda’s own doing. After all, the Spirit Pagoda’s staff in charge of guiding the students did not say anything about it, right?

The registration process for Shrek Academy was also being carried out. Even though Spirit Academy’s offers were very attractive, Shrek Academy was still the legendary number one academy on the continent. It was also backed up by numerous supporters, especially for those parents that were alumni of Shrek Academy that idolized and trusted Shrek.

Even though Shrek Academy was destroyed in a terrorist attack, none of its students were sacrificed in the explosion of the Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition. How could the people not trust the academy?

As a result, the number of students registering for Shrek Academy was lower, but the overall quality was still one grade higher than those registering for Spirit Academy. Even though Spirit Academy was already putting in great effort to get more students, the effect was not that impressive.

The president was being briefed inside Spirit Academy.

“President, according to the information, the number of students registering for Shrek Academy is still not low. Our spy reported seeing four soul masters that passed the initial test with at least a rank-20 soul power cultivation base.”

Qiangu Zhangting frowned at once upon hearing the report. “Are those people fools? What’s the point of joining Shrek? They won’t even receive a spirit soul in the future.”

The staff did not reply. In reality, everyone was well aware that Shrek possessed twenty thousand years of inner secrets! Such arcane knowledge was definitely not something that could be dismissed in a short period of time.

Despite Spirit Academy’s numerous tactics, they could not possibly turn Shrek into a deserted academy. It was unrealistic.

“Should we take additional measures now?” The staff gently asked.

Cold radiance shimmered in Qiangu Zhangting’s eyes. “Let them be, then. I would like to see how Shrek will respond. Since they wish to go against us, they can’t be sitting idly. Monitor the situation over there closely. We can’t allow Shrek to have a smooth and successful process.”

“Yes!”

It did not take long before the leading dozen mechas suddenly flew out of formation from the three hundred of them performing in midair. They glided toward Shrek Academy.

The mechas were still flying in the sky when a resonant voice had already echoed through the entire Shrek Academy through the loudspeakers.

“We heard that Shrek Academy is opened for enrollment today and there’s also a mecha academy in Shrek too. I wonder if there are divine mecha masters in Shrek. I am the humble deputy president of Spirit Academy’s mecha branch, Divine Mecha Master Meng Te. I come seeking your guidance.”

As he was speaking, a red divine mecha had already shot out from the numerous mechas. It was moving too swiftly. In a split second, the red mecha had already arrived in the sky above Shrek Academy’s main academic building. It had even made a few very difficult aerial maneuvers like a bolt of red lightning.

The fresh red color on the surface of the mecha glinted in the sunlight and emitted an exceedingly powerful aura as if it had come alive. The students queueing up for registration below the mechas raised their heads and looked up to the sky in unison.

A ghastly scene appeared at this exact moment.

A stretch of blue-purple radiance suddenly appeared above Shrek Academy’s main academic building. The blue-purple hue appeared without warning, looking just like a shining net of light.

The divine red mecha was covered by the radiant net.

“Crack, hiss, hiss!” There was a series of piercing noises. Then, the students watched in bewilderment as the red mecha, which had just been flaunting its prowess earlier, dropped from the sky with electric sparks shooting out from its body. It fell within the boundaries of Shrek Academy.

How should one describe…the feeling upon witnessing the scene?

It looked as if a fly had crashed into an electric net. The net vanished as soon as it appeared while the fly dropped from the clouds.

Yes, this was the exact feeling.

An overbearing yet sonorous voice echoed through the air soon after. “Do not violate Shrek’s airspace.”

The words were few and simple, but exceedingly domineering.

The rest of the dozen mechas could not help engaging their emergency brakes despite being in a battle formation just moments ago. The mecha masters piloting them were astonished. What was happening there?

That…that was a divine mecha! A divine mecha was actually shot down in such a baffling manner. Even a four-word battle armor master or a Limit Douluo could not possibly shoot down a divine mecha so quickly, right? How did Shrek Academy actually do that?

This was simply…

“Shrek Academy, how dare you?!” A surprised and furious voice echoed out from another red mecha.

“Release Meng Te. How dare you use such despicable tricks to frame our Meng Te?!”

The unforeseen situation had resulted in all three hundred of the remaining mechas flying toward the area in a dense mass. It was an imposing and shocking sight.

There was no response at all from Shrek. Whatever the case, the sight of a red mecha being shot down with such ease was truly shocking.

This trick of theirs was done a little too easily, was it not? How was that possible?

Would anyone still dare to fly over? If it were a yellow or purple mecha in its place, would it have been instantly blasted into pieces?

There were so many mechas, yet none risked entering the airspace above Shrek Academy’s main academic building anymore.

The students waiting to be registered were astounded upon witnessing what had happened, while the parents’ eyes were glimmering with radiant splendour. What did it mean to be mighty? This was the epitome of power!

Even the parents had been feeling apprehensive as to whether the reconstructed Shrek would be as domineering with its inner secrets as it had been before. Judging by the current situation, it seemed like the situation was not as simple as they had imagined.

Students with the courage to enroll in Shrek naturally had a certain level of confidence, and the parents were more knowledgeable and experienced than ordinary people.

What was the significance of this happening to a red mecha? Red mechas were considered divine! They were the most sophisticated mechas ever made. Such a mecha was said to be able to single-handedly turn the tide of a battle.

It was such a formidable mecha, yet to everyone’s surprise, it was shot down instantly without even a chance to fight back. How strong were Shrek’s offensive capabilities if they could do that?

The area covered by the purple-blue radiance earlier was rather broad! How could one not feel at ease when Shrek Academy was in possession of such defenses?

This was actually the amazing result of the Tang Sect’s advanced technology. The Amorous Douluo Zang Xin once told Tang Wulin that the Tang Sect’s newest product had been completed before. The product was known as the ‘Super-concentrated Soul Circuit Defense System’, and it was the product of countless generations worth of the Tang Sect’s research.

The original intention of developing the system was not to defend Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect but it was meant to be used as a shield for the Douluo Continent’s space exploration vehicles.

No one had any idea what the environment in outer space was like, so defense was doubtlessly vital. As a result, this defense system was developed to be installed in a hypothetical outer-space hulk. In the original plan, it was supposed to be tested on the Federation’s mothership.

Then, Shrek City was destroyed by the Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition. Naturally, the original plans were changed soon after. The Tang Sect could not possibly be gifting their newest technology, developed over a thousand years, to the Federation. Their own safety would take priority, and it would be used to defend themselves.
