"Next, I will tell you the rules of the Tournament."
Grandmaster kicked the sleepy Ma Hongjun next to him with a smile and continued: "The rules can be restrictions, but at the same time, they can be advantageous as well. Once you fully understand the rules, you can use your strength more effectively."
Ma Hongjun who was kicked by Grandmaster immediately came to his senses. When he did, he saw Jiang Zhu who was standing on the side, his small eyes lit up, and he greeted her.
Jiang Zhu is 19 years old; she is about 1.5 meters tall and has crimson hair. Although she is not as beautiful as Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, she is still pretty and can be described as a beautiful woman.
Jiang Zhu who heard Ma Hongjun's greeting blinked her eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face. In her opinion, Ma Hongjun is like a chubby little brother, a very cute, little brother with a fat head and big ears.
Grandmaster continued to tell everyone about the rules of the Tournament. The rules were very complicated, and most of them did not understand them after listening to them.
Chen Feng summarised them:
First, there are some restrictions in the Tournament. For example, participants must be below 25 years of age, they cannot use weapons, and they must not injure their opponents.
Weapons are not allowed for many reasons, one is that without weapons, a Spirit Master's strength is more clearly displayed, it would also ensure that the Tournament is fair as some people with greater backgrounds may have strong weapons to assist them compared to those with low backgrounds. Because of this rule, Chen Feng's Spirit Origin Staff and Tang San's *Hidden Weapons* are unable to be used in the Tournament.
Not injuring their opponents, this reason is even simpler, generally, participants of the Tournament are elites among Spirit Masters, and each of them are precious geniuses from the Empires, Kingdoms and most importantly, of Spirit Hall.
Secondly, the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament has a Tournament System. It is divided into 3 parts, the Qualifiers, the Ranking Competition, and the Finals.
The Qualifiers consist of 28 Spirit Master Teams from the Heaven Dou Empire, they would compete in turns. Each Team sends 7 Players to participate in Team Battles. The winning Team is awarded points, at the end, the Team/Academy with the highest number of points will enter the Ranking Competition stage.
The Ranking Competition Matches are Ranked Matches between the 5 Academies of the Heaven Dou Empire and 10 Academies from the Kingdoms. Each Academy send 7 players, during the Match, players would fight 1 vs 1, the winner would remain on the Stage and the loser will go off. The losing Team will continue to send players until all 7 players of one side are defeated.
The Finals consist of 30 Teams selected and sent by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, as well as three seeded Teams for the Tournament. This part is a little more complicated. There will be Team battles and individual battles, and byes can only happen based on points.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but said: "Master, why are the rules so complicated? It makes me dizzy."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Fatty, it doesn't matter if you can't remember the rules. As long as we don't lose a Match, the Championship will be ours."
Grandmaster nodded slightly: "Xiao Feng is right. It is important to understand the rules and make suitable strategies, but in front of absolute strength, all strategies are nothing."
Ma Hongjun said indifferently: "With the few of us and Brother Feng, which Academy is our opponent?"
Grandmaster said solemnly: "In the Matches, of the Shrek 7 Devils, only Xiao Feng and 2 others will be able to participate, as for Rongrong, she will receive special training and will not participate in Matches for the time being."
Ma Hongjun asked in surprise: "Only three?"
If Chen Feng is included among the 3 that can participate, there would be no problem in obtaining victory, but if Chen Feng does not participate, they may encounter strong opponents and lose…
Grandmaster said: "During the Qualifiers, you need to save your strength so that you will not be targeted by your opponents. After all, we only need to be in the top five of the Qualifiers to proceed to the next stage."
Chen Feng spread his hands and knew that it does not matter. No Team can force him to use even a tenth of his strength.
Tang San nodded and said, "Teacher, I understand."
Grandmaster's stiff face became softer and said, "In the next few days, I will conduct some tactical drills for you. You must work hard." The rest of the day was spent on training, with 3 days left before the beginning of the Tournament, Chen Feng approached Flender with the Uniform they were supposed to wear for the Tournament.
"Xiao Feng, what can I do for you?" Flender pushed his glasses up and asked.
"Dean, can you change the Team's Uniform?" Chen Feng said with a black face, he did not want to wear such a snot-green Team Uniform with the words 'Currently Recruiting Students and inviting investment' written on it.
"Xiao Feng, you also know that the Academy's finances are tight, we need to advertise and quickly increase the Academy's funds," Flender said seriously.
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth twitched. The previous Shrek Academy was indeed broke and had financial issues, but the new Shrek Academy may not be as rich as the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, but its finances are by no means tight. All of this was merely Flender's stingy character showing again.
"Dean, how about this, if we change the Uniform, the students will take a lower cut from the profits?" Chen Feng asked.
The profits are divided between the Academy and the participating students. Although Flender is stingy, he has never taken advantage of the students. In this regard, he is much better than others.
Flender pondered a little before he treacherously smiled: "If we change the Uniform, we will have difficulty attracting investment and students. You need to pay for 30% of the advertising costs to make up for this loss."
Chen Feng said, "No problem. But the Team's Uniform will be designed by the students."
Flender said readily, "Okay, but you must leave enough space for advertising."
Chen Feng suddenly laughed and said, "Dean, how about I advertise for you?"
Flender was puzzled, he hesitated for a moment before he asked: "What? You're not a merchant, how can you advertise?"
Chen Feng retorted: "Who says only Merchants can advertise, ordinary people can also advertise, things like marriage invitations and the like, they are also forms of advertising."
Flender said: "What? You want to do some marriage adverts, if you do so, are you not afraid Zhuqing will ask for an explanation?"
"I was just making an analogy." Chen Feng smiled. If he went to make marriage adverts, Zhuqing would want an explanation…
Flender smiled and spoke: "Okay, you can advertise, but the fees..."
Chen Feng asked directly: "How much do you need?"
Flender rolled his eyes and said treacherously: "They're different, like the cost of the advertising spaces on the back, it costs about 10,000 Gold Coins."
Chen Feng threw a card directly at Flender and said, "Just the back, I thought it was going to be something else, hmph, anyway, after we design the new Uniform, I will ensure the advert is on it."
Flender looked at the card that Chen Feng threw over, Gold Coins flashed in his eyes.
After discussing some more about the new Uniform, Chen Feng left Flender's office.
The Seven Shrek Devils were all waiting outside Flenders' office. When they saw Chen Feng coming out, they looked expectantly and asked, "Did the Dean agree?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "The Dean agreed, but he said we will obtain less of a cut from the profits and that we must also make up for the Academy's loss as well."
Tai Long sighed with relief: "I will do anything as long as I don't need to wear that snotty dress. "
Xiao Wu smiled and said: "It's great."
Chen Feng said: "We can design the new Uniform, but we must leave a place for the slogan on the back. We have to hurry, we have only 3 days left before the Tournament begins."
Ning Rongrong said: "My family has a Tailor Shop in Heaven Dou City. Once we design the Uniform, we can send it to them to make them. I think a day will be enough before they're ready."
Xiao Wu said with a smile: "Then let's go and design the Uniforms." The others nodded.
