Chapter 122: Team Uniform Controversy

"Next, let me explain the rules of the competition to all of you."

Master glanced at Ma Hongjun, who was dozing off next to him, and continued, "Rules are restrictions, but they can also be used as advantages. Only when you understand the rules can you fully exert your own abilities."

After being kicked by the master, Ma Hongju immediately regained consciousness. She happened to see Jiang Zhu on the opposite side and her eyes lit up. She greeted the other person.

Jiang Zhu, nineteen years old and about one meter fifty tall, had red hair. Although her appearance couldn't compare to Zhu Zhuqing, Xiaowu, and Ning Rongrong, she was still considered a beauty.

Jiang Zhu noticed that Ma Hongjun was greeting her. She blinked her eyes and a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face. In her eyes, Ma Hongjun was a chubby little brother, cute with his round head and big ears.

The master continues to explain the rules of the competition. The rules are quite complex, and most people have trouble understanding them after listening once.

Chen Feng summarized them into several points.

首先，是大赛的一些限制，比如参赛学员必须是二十五岁以下，不得使用武器，不得伤残对手。

不得使用武器是为了保证魂师大赛的公平性，让参赛的学员能更好的展示自己的实力，这样一来，陈锋的混元棍和唐三的暗器，都不可以使用了。

Not injuring opponents is an even simpler reason. Those who participate in the Soul Master Tournament are the elites among soul masters, each one of them is extremely valuable and considered a recruitment target for the Empire, Kingdoms, and the Martial Soul Hall.

Next, there is the competition format of the tournament, which is divided into three parts: the preliminary round, the promotion round, and the grand final.

In the preliminary round, the 28 Soul Master teams of the Tian Dou Empire compete in turns. Each team sends out seven members to participate in team battles, using a points system. The top five teams with the highest points will advance to the promotion round.

The promotion matches are ranking matches between the five teams from Tian Dou Empire and the ten teams sent by the five great kingdoms. Each team still sends seven members, but they compete in one-on-one battles. The winner remains on the field, while the loser's side continues to send out members until all seven members of one side are defeated.

The finals are comprised of thirty teams selected by the Tian Dou Empire and the Xing Luo Empire, along with three seeded teams. The competition format is slightly more complex, including both team battles and individual fights, as well as byes based on points. Translation:

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say, "Master, why are the rules of this competition so complicated? It's making my head spin."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Fatty, it's okay if you can't remember the rules. As long as we don't lose a single match, the championship will definitely be ours."

The master nodded slightly, "Xiaofeng is right. While understanding the competition format and making tactical arrangements are important, they are powerless in the face of absolute strength."

马红俊不在意的说道：“凭我们几个，再加上锋哥，有哪个队伍是我们的对手？”

With a few of us, plus Feng, which team can be our opponent?"

Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, "Can we only send three?"

If these three include Chen Feng, there wouldn't be any issue. However, if they don't include him, they might suffer defeat if they encounter formidable opponents.

The master said, "During the preliminary rounds, you need to conserve your strength so as not to be targeted by opponents. After all, as long as you enter the top five in the preliminary rounds, it is enough."

Chen Feng shrugged, indicating that he didn't care. Even if he had to fight seven opponents at once, there was no team that could force him to use even a tenth of his strength.

Tang San nodded and said, "Teacher, I understand."

The master's stiff face softened a little and he said, "In the next few days, I will conduct tactical drills for all of you. Work hard for your goals."

Next, everyone spent the day in training. Three days before the competition, Chen Feng approached Fran with a piece of clothing in his hand, which was their team uniform.

"Xiaofeng, what's the matter that brings you to me?" Fran pushed his glasses up and asked.

"Principal, can we change these team uniforms?" Chen Feng said with a grim face, he didn't want to wear these vomit-green uniforms that also had the words "Seeking Title Sponsorship Ads" on them.

"Xiaofeng, you also know that the Academy's funding is tight and we are in urgent need of advertising fees to fill the financial gap." Frande said seriously.

Chen Feng's mouth twitched slightly. While the previous Shrek Academy indeed had tight funding, the new Shrek Academy, though not as rich as the Royal Heaven Academy, certainly wouldn't be in such dire straits. All of this was just Frande's stingy nature acting up.

"Dean, can we take less of the advertising fee to compensate for the losses of the college? Would that be acceptable?" Chen Feng said.

The advertising fee is divided equally between the college and the participating students, and while Frand is stingy, he never takes advantage of the students. In this regard, he is much better than other students.

Franed's expression paused briefly, and he cunningly smiled, saying, "After changing the team's uniform, it will be much more difficult to attract sponsors. You will need to provide 30% of the advertising fee to compensate for the losses of the academy."

Chen Feng said, "No problem, but we need to design the team uniforms ourselves."

Frankland responded readily, "Okay, but we must leave enough blank space for advertisements."

陈锋突然笑道：“院长，我可不可以打广告？”

弗兰德迟疑了一下，问道：“你又不是商人，打什么广告？”

陈锋反驳道：“谁说只有商人可以打广告？普通人同样可以打广告，就比如征婚广告，求亲广告。”

Fran pointed out, "If you go and place a marriage advertisement, aren't you afraid that Zhuzhu will come after you?"

Chen Feng chuckled and replied, "I was just giving an example." If he were to actually place a marriage advertisement, given Zhu Zhuqing's personality, she would really come after him.

Franz smiled and said, "If you want to advertise, it's possible, but there will be advertising fees..."

Chen Feng asked directly, "How much is the advertising fee?"

Franz's eyes shifted cunningly and he said, "The cost varies depending on the advertising space, for example, if it's the back, it will require ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Chen Feng directly handed a card to Fran, saying, "Let's focus on the back position. Once the new team uniform is designed, I will send over the advertisement slogan along with it."

Franke looked at the card thrown by Chen Feng, and a gleam of gold soul coins flickered in his eyes.

After discussing the matter of changing the team uniform, Chen Feng left Franke's office.

Shrek's seven monsters are waiting outside the office of Frand, and when they see Chen Feng coming out, they eagerly ask, "How is it? Did the Dean agree?"

Chen Feng smiles and says, "The Dean agreed, but he mentioned that after changing the team uniforms, the advertising fees will be reduced. He requests a decrease of 30% in the advertising fees to compensate for the academy's loss."

Talon said with a relieved expression, "As long as I don't have to wear these green clothes, I'm fine with doing anything."

Xiaowu laughed and said, "That's great."

Chen Feng said, "The director wants us to design our own new team uniforms, as long as there is enough space for advertisements. However, we only have three days left until the competition, so we have to quickly design the uniforms and leave some time to make them."

Ning Rongrong said, "In my family's tailor shop in Heaven Dou City, once the team uniforms are designed, I can have them made. They can definitely be done within a day."

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Then let's hurry back and design the team uniforms."

The others also nodded their heads.
