The next period of time was naturally for discussing the matter of the mountain with Ning Fengzhi, and Xiao Tian also took out a gold card and handed it to Ning Fengzhi, saying, "Uncle Ning, thank you for paying for that mountain for me in advance. Please keep this gold card."
Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Xiao Tian, you're being too formal. It's just a mountain. This little bit isn't enough to repay your kindness to our Sect and Rongrong."
Xiao Tian insisted, "Uncle Ning, it's different. Rongrong is my companion, and I'm good to her without expecting anything in return. Moreover, this is the mountain where the Sect we are about to establish will be located. How can I let you pay for it?"
Yang Wudi and the others also echoed, "That's right, School Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and changed his approach, "How about this, Xiao Tian? After your Sect is established, the Godly Zhuge Crossbows and subsequent Spirit Guiding Swords you produce will be supplied to our Sect first, and the cost will be deducted directly from this card. How does that sound?"
Since Ning Fengzhi said so, Xiao Tian no longer refused.
After all, neither the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School nor he lacked money, so there was no need to keep pushing it back and forth.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone returned to rest.
The next day, Ning Fengzhi would have someone take Yang Wudi and the others to that mountain.
As for Xiao Tian, he stayed behind to practice with Team One, as the battle with Shrek Academy was just a few days away.
So much time had passed, and Dai Mubai had also reached Spirit Ancestor. If they won, they should be able to get a little reward, right?
Although this thing wasn't that crucial to him now, having it was better than not having it.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Although this was a practice match, the Three Teaching Committee considered Xiao Tian's previous suggestion and decided not to hide Xiao Tian's strength. They directly set up the arena in the center of the academy, allowing everyone to witness the entire match.
This was also the Three Teaching Committee's confidence in Xiao Tian's strength, and they believed that under Xiao Tian's leadership, they would definitely win the championship in next year's competition!
Xiao Tian and the others were now sitting under the canopy set up for them by the academy.
"Captain, actually, I feel like you don't even need to participate later. After all, you're a Spirit King. Participating would just be bullying children, wouldn't it? Let us get some experience."
Yu Feng said jokingly beside Xiao Tian, his attitude completely different from a few days ago.
Because in the past few days, the list of official members had also been released, initially determined to be: Xiao Tian, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling.
As for Yu Feng and Oslo, both were agility-attack systemSpirit Masters, inferior to Zhu Zhuqing in combat power, and could only be substitutes.
As for Shi Mo, his level was one grade lower than Shi Mo, and the team only needed one defense system Spirit Master.
Of course, this was only according to the team's normal division. Otherwise, with the strength of Xiao Tian and his current group, it didn't really matter who filled the other two empty spots.
Ye Lingling's participation was to treat the team members, as there would inevitably be some bumps and scrapes during the battle.
Xiao Tian smiled, "Although this is a practice match, I did say, didn't I, that we and Shrek Academy have some grudges, more or less? This match is our 'venting match'!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered as she said, "Exactly!"
Yu Feng looked depressed, "But we do too! Yu Tianheng betrayed our academy and joined Shrek. And our original team leader, Qin Ming, too."
Dugu Yan said, "Don't worry, in this match, I, your vice-captain, will take care of it for you!"
Dugu Yan's lips curved. Yu Tianheng approached her with such clear intentions. Now that she thought about it, she felt a bit disgusted. It was time to let him experience the power of the evolved Bi Lin Snake Venom!
At the same time, led by Flender, a group of strange youths wearing shit-green uniforms appeared at the entrance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Oscar looked at Flender with a long face and said, "My dear Dean, do we really have to wear these uniforms?"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others also looked displeased. Along the way from Shrek Academy to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, everyone they saw laughed a few times. It was utterly humiliating.
Flender said indifferently, "What? What's so embarrassing about this? I finally managed to find a few sponsors. Only these uniforms can make your sponsors most prominent. These are all money!"
"As the Dean of Shrek Academy, I have recently concentrated most of the cultivation resources on you. The academy's funds are a bit insufficient, so I naturally need to find a way. Are you unwilling to contribute to the academy? You just wear them. You can take them off after the match. It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh!"
Facing Flender's persuasion, Oscar and the others, even if unwilling, could only accept.
As for the academy's accounts being out of money, they didn't believe it.
When Liu Erlong was the Dean before, there was no need for sponsors. This was just Flender trying to make money by taking advantage of this practice match.
Of course, they weren't without benefits; they each received a 10% share of the sponsorship fees, otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed.
Ma Hongjun asked, "Teacher, our chances of winning this match are probably very small. Will those sponsors go back on their word then?"
Flender revealed a sly smile, "Who said we must win? We just promised to promote them during this match because of the large crowd. Winning or losing isn't important. Oh, no, winning or losing is still very important to you. You must use all your strength to prepare for future training plans!"
Flender secretly calculated how much sponsorship money he could earn from this match.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy had informed them in advance that they would set up the arena in the central position, which allowed him to discover a business opportunity and make a small profit, resulting in these sponsored uniforms.
"Old Flender! You've really gone too far! Aren't you embarrassed enough?!"
Seeing Flender's calculating look, Liu Erlong's anger was instantly ignited.
These days, she had been trying her best to control her temper.
Originally, when Yu Xiaogang, whom she had longed for, came to Blue Tyrant Academy, she was overjoyed. But then she received news that he had become a cripple, which directly shattered her romantic dreams.
And as time passed, she found that Yu Xiaogang's feminine characteristics became more and more obvious, gradually turning into an eunuch, which made her feel incredibly sad. Why did the heavens treat her this way!
