Chapter 76: Let me fight alone.

Right now, with Heaven Dou Great Arena as its heart, practically a third of Heaven Dou City was a scene of an unbroken sea of people. Starting from several days ago, every level inn in Heaven Dou City was filled. The population of the city had gone up by practically fifty percent. This showed the attraction the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament had on people.

Besides Zeng Xin, whether it was the Shrek Seven Devils or the several substitutes, right now they all kept their heads down. Because the clothing they wore really made them blush from shame.

The official Shrek Academy uniform wasn't any common green, but snot green.

For the sake of this Academy tournament, dean Flender had these uniforms specially made according to his strange sense of aesthetics. The fabric was actually pretty good, and it was also comfortable. But besides the snot green, each person's chest was also practically covered by a large Shrek monster design, and the color of this design was bright emerald green.

This still wasn't much; most out of the ordinary was on each person's back, several big words embroidered in red silk: Looking for advertisers.

Below these big words was still a row of smaller ones: For advertising fees please call on Shrek Academy's dean, Mr Flender, for a personal meeting.

It was precisely because of this unusual attire that just as Zeng Xin and the others were about to enter the crowd, they immediately attracted special attention.

"What academy is that? Heavens, did they just crawl out from a gutter?"

"I'm dying from laughing, that green monster design on their chests is really too adorable. Why do the ears look like trumpets?"

"Look, look, on their backs they're still recruiting some advertising?"

"Is an advanced Spirit Master academy like this real?"

"Can they still participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament?"

"It's too funny. They really are all kinds of birds in the woods."

Unable to change their appearance, Tang San was the first to pull out the Shrek mask they originally brought when participating at the Spirit Arena tournament, and the Shrek Seven Devils hastily copied him one by one. The pitiful late members with Tai Long didn't have such equipment, and could only cover their faces with their hands, like that getting more and more embarrassed.

Zeng Xin was different from them. He didn't mind people berating him. Once he shows his strength, this very uniform will become his mark.

Having broken into the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, the Shrek Academy party all lost a breath. Tang San and Dai Mubai looked at Zeng Xin, their eyes full of helplessness.

"When leaving the tournament, no matter what you say I won't wear this. Too damaging to my heroic image."

Ma Hongjun took off the mask from his face and complained.

"Those who will change their uniform will not be participating in the battles. If you want to fight, fight in these or you can sit in the reserved seats."

Zeng Xin said with no expression on his face. He was serious this time.

"Brother Fan, this uniform, everyone will laugh at us." This time Mubai retorted.

"Their disgust will change into cheers when you show your strength. If you don't believe me. Let me fight the first match alone." Zeng Xin was uttering facts. Others wanted to retort but had nothing to say.

Tang San comforting said:

"Anyway, the odds of us appearing on stage today is low. Brother Fan, you were kidding right, when you said you wanted to fight alone."

"No, I will fight alone in the very first match, it will help us long time. You just have to go with me and then step down."

"This..."

"Don't worry, I have confidence, trust me. If this fails, I will follow your plan from then." Zeng Xin patted Tang San's shoulder.

Right now, the Shrek Academy party stood in a specially arranged rest area for competing academies within the main arena. They weren't the first to enter, but also weren't the last here. Within the expansive rest area were more than a thousand seats, split into sections, to be used for the Spirit Master academies to rest and wait.

Not long after, Flender came waltzing back,

"Zeng Xin, Mubai, the two of you lead everyone inside. I'll leave first to see your heroic appearance from the stands."

Before anyone had the chance to protest, this dean had already taken to his feet and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, the tournament functionaries soon entered the rest area, organizing the now all present academies to enter the arena.

"Last to enter is the Shrek Academy team. Look at their exotic attire. These eleven are shining. Their sign up slogan is: Unchallenged champions. Truly a very expressive slogan, I hope they can make an outstanding display."

Hearing the officiant's words, the spectators in the stands roared with laughter, heckling calls rising and falling in succession.

Finally all the teams had entered the arena, the Shrek Academy group stood furthest back.

Zeng Xin didn't pay any attention to the jeers, and constantly observed their surroundings. This Great Spirit Arena was undoubtedly the biggest he had ever seen.

As his gaze fell on the VIP platform, he unexpectedly saw a few acquaintances. One of them was the one who originally drove them away from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, prince Xue Xing, and the three committee members. They all sat in the second row of the VIP seats, and in the first row were only three people.

The man in the middle wore gold and red robes, on his head a brilliant gold crown, his face like an old moon, and though apparently a bit older than prince Xue Xing, they still resembled one another.

Besides Heaven Dou Empire's emperor, who could sit in this seat? Sitting to his left was an old man even older than him. Dressed entirely in red robes, wearing a pentagonal platinum hat, he was Bishop Salas. He has seen him many times.

The person on the emperor's right, Ning Rongrong's father, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's master, Ning Fengzhi. How did he know he had never met him? He had read the manhua previously. He knew the three there.
