A few days later,
All seven Shrek monsters gathered in the tournament ground. While hiding behind a pillar, they glanced at the strange green uniform with advertisements on each other's bodies.
"I don't want to wear such a uniform,"
All of them complained, looking at each other, especially Ning Rongrong and other females trying to hide themselves in embarrassment.
"Oh, what kind of clothes are they wearing?"
"There is also a fatty in their team, who looks like a ball,"
Instantly, a few passing-by individuals commented funnily looking at them; Ma Hongjun and others became extremely embarrassed and angry.
While Flander and Master glanced at each other, turned around, and distanced themselves from Tang San and others,
On the other hand,
Xiao Yi didn't go to the stage along with the Shrek team; instead, he appeared in the spectators area wearing a black, white, and green suit with black trousers, a white shirt, and a green long upper jacket.
Xiao Yi glanced at the spectators crowd, looking at the Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye, also the Salas sitting on the third seat, then he noticed the Meng family in the crowd.
'It will be fun seeing their expression when they see me alive after a while,' Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at them, and then a cold flicker flashed through his pupil.
Meanwhile, Tang San and others encountered the team members of Blue Sunshine Academy.
Just as they were about to collide with each other, a sudden voice sounded.
"What's going on?" Suddenly the sunshine team backed away, revealing an old figure standing far away on the stair; he has a strange mark on his forehead with a gloomy and sinister aura around his body.
"Oh, he is the trash master of Sunshine Academy." Suddenly, Ma Hongjun spoke and then fell silent after feeling the old man's gaze.
"Let's go," The old man gave Ma Hongjun a glance and then spoke coldly, turned around, and walked away. The Sunshine team didn't dare to say anything anymore and obediently left following him.
"I didn't expect this old man to teach at Sunshine Academy,"
Suddenly, Flander appeared, commenting while stopping beside Ma Hongjun, looking at the backs of the old man and sunshine team.
"Master, do you know him?" Ma Hongjun asked in surprise; Tang San and others around him were also startled.
Flander nodded and replied with a solemn expression, "This guy's name is Shi Nian; he is a famous illusion spirit master on the continent and also a very sinister person. No strong spirit master is willing to offend him."
Shrek Seven Master was surprised and horrified a little in their heart, especially Ma Hongjun felt fortunate that Shi Nian didn't attack him.
"Let's go, it's beginning." Flander then glanced at the Shrek team and spoke, walking toward the stage.
After reaching the stage, they saw the gathering of many people for the opening ceremonies, including a lot of familiar faces from previous encounters.
Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire Xue Ye is overlooking the ceremony while seated, presiding over others of the upper nobility, including Ning Fengzhi, Xue Xing, Salas of Martial Hall, the three Board of Education members of Imperial Academy, and Princes Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng.
"Sect master Feng, what are your thoughts on this tournament?" Emperor Xue Ye casually asked, looking at Ning Fengzhi sitting on his right,
Ning Fengzhi smiled a trustful expression on his face, saying, "I know a team that may win the tournament for heaven dou this year."
Emperor Xue Ye was surprised and then started observing the teams on stage with a thoughtful expression on his face.
While the Shrek and other teams were introduced by the host,
Xiao Yi appeared beside Tang San and others, surprising Ning Fengzhi and the Meng family.
"Dear, look, it's that boy." Suddenly, Chao Tianxiang spoke with a solemn expression on her face; Meng Shu and Meng Yiran's expressions also sank after noticing Xiao Yi and seeing his Shrek team uniform.
Meng Yiran then thought of something and then said, "Grandpa, he has joined the Shrek; if we talk to him and compensate, maybe he won't take revenge."
Chao Tianxiang's brow furrowed, and then she shook her head, denying her granddaughter's words. "No, these little boys are stubborn; he won't forget the grudge so easily; it's better we remove this danger in the bud."
Meng Shu silently heard his granddaughter's and wife's words, clenched his staff tightly, while his hands trembled, revealing white knuckles.
After a while, he released it and sighed, speaking, shaking his head, "It was our fault; let's apologize and compensate this little guy. I hope he forgets the enmity."
While in the Shrek team, Tang San and others glanced at Xiao Yi's handsome face and clean green suit without an advertisement like theirs.
"It's unfair, Brother Yi. Why does your uniform have no advertisement?" Ma Hongjun spoke with a dissatisfied expression on his face; Tang San and others also gave him an unfair look.
Xiao Yi glanced at them and replied with a smile, "I paid the dean the amount he will earn from a single advertisement; each of you can also pay him 1000 gold coins, and he won't mind removing the advertisement from your uniform."
Instantly their eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief; Oscar and Ma Hongjun glanced at him in admiration and then became depressed, saying,
"Is there such an operation? Why didn't we know it before? But from where can we pay the thousand gold coins?"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and others also fell into hesitation hearing about the thousand gold coins; only Ning Rongrong's eyes brightened, and he spoke.
"I am willing to pay; I don't want this advertisement on our uniform,"
Hearing her words, the Shrek monster's eyes lit up, looking at her thankfully.
"Let's go; the preliminary will happen inside the great fighting hall."
Tang San then spoke, pointing at the building in front of them, and then all of them walked inside.
