Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 212 Secret Manipulation
The group spent the next two months training.

This training is mainly to increase the level of understanding between teammates, so that they can better execute tactics in the future.

During this time, Flander also began to consider the issue of school uniforms for Hydra Academy.

It's clear from the original work that he has a questionable sense of aesthetics when it comes to clothing, but fortunately, Chen Feng had already prepared for this.

The original Shrek Academy emblem was a green monster head, which led Flander to design the academy's uniforms to be green in the original story.

Moreover, it wasn't just any ordinary green; it was a color between yellow and green. To be precise, it could be called "poop green."

Chen Feng would never allow himself, Ning Rongrong, or Zhu Zhuqing to wear clothes of this color.

So he went to great lengths to redesign the academy's emblem, turning it into the current blue background with a gold hydra design.

Creatures like the Hydra, whether good or evil, have one great advantage: they are incredibly powerful.

This also makes the Hydra school badge designed by Chen Feng quite cool.

Since the school badge looks like this, the school uniform naturally couldn't be green anymore. So what ended up in everyone's hands were handsome school uniforms with blue backgrounds and gold trim.

The already strikingly good-looking members of the Hydra squad appeared even more distinguished in their school uniforms.

This was the result of Chen Feng intervening after Flander went to find someone to design the clothes. Although he was not a professional fashion designer, he had seen a lot in his previous life and still had an aesthetic sense in this area.

However, even though Chen Feng had made the school uniform look good, and the school badge made it even more eye-catching, he still couldn't escape Flander's obsession with small advertisements.

When the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament opened in Tiandou City, the eleven participating students from Hydra Academy could only walk into the Tiandou Grand Soul Arena with the words "Seeking Title Sponsorship" hanging on their backs and looking helpless.

"What a waste of this outfit." Dai Mubai sighed deeply.

The school uniform, which was originally quite stylish, suddenly lost its class when the small advertisement on the back was added.

"That's right, it's too much." Ma Hongjun looked ahead with a resentful expression. There stood Flander and his two companions, all wearing the academy's blue and gold uniforms, but without the six large characters on their backs.

He could already hear people around them whispering about whether the academy was desperate for money or something.

"Alright, alright, if we can get advertising, we can get money too, and the dean even gave us the competition prize money," Chen Feng comforted him.

He's already satisfied with the current situation; let him have some small advertisements on the side if he wants.

In all sorts of competitive sports around the world, aren't there always advertisements on the participants? It doesn't affect their image, does it?

For him, as long as the clothes look good and aren't too abstract, that's fine.

Chen Feng still remembered that in a global e-sports competition held in his previous life, the team uniform of the mainland region was bright red one year, with a golden dragon embroidered on the chest, and the colors were quite vibrant.

Combined with the lighting and sound effects from the departure ceremony, the way this bright red military uniform descended from the dome looked like a funeral shroud falling from the sky.

At least the Hydra team isn't wearing funeral shrouds or shit-green school uniforms anymore, which is something to celebrate.

Zhu Zhuqing frowned unhappily. Part of her anger stemmed from her appearance, but more importantly, she felt that Chen Feng's hard work had been ruined.

But since Chen Feng himself didn't seem to mind, she didn't say anything more.

Soon, everyone arrived at the rest area provided for the participating academies inside the main arena.

They sat close together in a tacit manner, covering each other's backs with the words on them, which thankfully didn't attract too much attention.

However, when the staff started arranging for the participants to enter, the words were inevitably revealed.

Fortunately, no one made any comments about it; at most, they just showed strange expressions. In this atmosphere, the academy students finally arrived at the arena.

Chen Feng ignored the meaningless remarks and turned his attention to the VIP stage of the Great Soul Arena.

There were three people sitting in the first row of the VIP table. Chen Feng only recognized Lao Ning on the right.

However, he also guessed the identities of the other two people. The one in the middle was undoubtedly the Emperor of Heaven Dou, and the one on the left should be Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.

As Chen Feng looked at Lao Ning, Ning Fengzhi's gaze also turned towards him, and he smiled and nodded.

Chen Feng smiled as well, then looked away and waited for the first round of the qualifiers to begin.

After Ning Fengzhi finished signaling to Chen Feng, he suddenly felt a gaze from the side. He turned his head and saw that Salas had noticed his movements at some point and was now following his gaze to find the place he was looking at.

"What's wrong, Bishop Salas?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

Salas chuckled and countered:
"Was Sect Leader Ning paying attention to a certain academy just now?"

Sitting in the middle, Xueye also became interested and asked:
"Oh? It's the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Judging from the direction Sect Leader Ning was focusing on just now, it doesn't seem so," Salas said with a smile.

Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi with some curiosity, and Ning Fengzhi smiled and said:

“I was just greeting my daughter, which led to Bishop Salas’s misunderstanding.”

"Oh." Xueye nodded in realization, while Salas looked directly at the area where the blue and gold school uniforms were located, his gaze carrying a meaningful look.

Just then, the emcee asked Salas to draw lots to determine which academy would play in the first round of the qualifiers. Salas got up and went to the emcee's side, putting his hand into the lottery box.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. After he said he was greeting his daughter, Salas immediately looked in the direction of Hydra Academy, which showed that Salas was concerned about his daughter's situation.

However, given Ning Fengzhi's status, the Spirit Hall would definitely collect information about him, so this is nothing to be surprised about.

What Ning Fengzhi really cared about was the result of the upcoming draw.

And this result was exactly as he expected: Hydra Academy went head-to-head with Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

However, due to the competition organizers' arrangements, Tian Dou Royal Academy will only field its vice-captain today.

Salas calmly returned to his seat. He didn't believe that Ning Fengzhi had greeted his daughter just now. Even if he had, the academy that Ning Fengzhi had sent his daughter to was worth paying attention to.

So he used a little trick just now to see what was so special about this academy.

Soon all the academies left the venue, leaving only the teams that needed to participate in the competition to stay in the rest area to plan their tactics.

Tang San addressed the crowd:
"Let's stick to the pre-agreed roster and use the most basic lineup. Let's finish quickly." "Okay," the players who were about to go on stage responded.

The so-called most basic lineup is the lineup without the two support-type Soul Masters, Gu Yueling, and Xiao Wu.

This lineup is specifically designed for a one-shot strategy and doesn't easily reveal the team's true strength.

Not long after, staff came to inform them to enter. When the Tiandou Royal Academy students entered, they were shone with spotlights, while the Hydra Academy students had nothing.

This differential treatment was quite obvious, which made the players who took the stage somewhat unhappy.

"No way, why is that? They even have spotlights on them when they come out?" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say.

"Because they are from noble families, they have a good family background," Chen Feng replied indifferently.

"Uh..." Ma Hongjun suddenly fell silent.

When it comes to family background, he really has nothing to say.

At this moment, the people opposite them also heard their conversation. One of the petite boys said in a soft, effeminate tone:

"What, kid, you're not convinced? Having a family background and connections makes it possible to do this."

A well-endowed girl next to him looked at Chen Feng, licked her lips, and said:

"This handsome young man has a good eye. If you're willing to be with me, you can also have a noble status."

Dai Mubai couldn't help but cover his forehead. No, do you even know who you're trying to seduce?
Aristocratic status, how rare!

Chen Feng didn't react much, he just chuckled twice. He knew the reason why the other person said those things, it was simply because they had lived in that environment since they were young.

Having lived a pampered life in a noble mansion since childhood is like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well, unable to see the vastness of the sky outside, and naturally it will say some things that seem stupid to normal people.

Ning Rongrong had shown similar tendencies in the past.

This is because most feudal nobles were actually like this.

Those truly outstanding individuals, whether willingly or unwillingly, left the deep well that confined them and went out to see the vast world.

Then, by combining their own knowledge and having a solid family background to support them, they were able to become outstanding figures of their generation.

These people in front of him were definitely not outstanding individuals, and Chen Feng didn't want to pay attention to their dull remarks.

Seeing that she was being completely ignored, the girl became furious and said:
"You shameless brat! If you don't learn your lesson, you'll really think you're something special."

Clearly, although she felt offended, she was still somewhat attracted to Chen Feng's body.

But Chen Feng didn't want to pay any attention to her. Instead, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and stared coldly at the girl opposite her.

At this moment, the referee walked over and said:
"Both sides bow and activate their Martial Souls!"

Both sides reluctantly bowed, and then each summoned their own martial spirit.

A commotion immediately erupted around them, because three ten-thousand-year soul rings had appeared in the Hydra Academy's group.

Salasten stood up abruptly on the VIP platform, and Emperor Xueye's eyes widened. Although Ning Fengzhi knew a little about Chen Feng's situation, he did not expect to see three ten-thousand-year soul rings at once, and his face also showed astonishment.

Behind them, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a strange light shining in his eyes.

Beside him, Meng Shenji, the chief of the academic affairs committee of Tiandou Academy, took a deep breath. He suddenly had a feeling that the world of martial spirits was about to change.

Oh no, I should say it's going to change again.

The fact that this changed once in previous years suggests that the appearance of these three ten-thousand-year spirit rings indicates that someone may have mastered the technique of obtaining ten-thousand-year spirit rings ahead of time.

After all, you can say it's luck if someone gets a fourth ring every ten thousand years, and you can attribute it to talent if someone gets two, but if three of them get three at the same time, and all three are in the same academy, then there's no point in deceiving yourself anymore.

There must be some skill involved; there's no other possibility.

Amidst the deafening clamor, the seven members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's vice-captain team stood frozen in place.

They benefited from Master Chenfeng's Foundation Building Technique, and most of them had reached level 40 in cultivation, with the two captains even reaching the Soul Master level.

But the opponent directly smashed three ten-thousand-year spirit rings in your face; who could withstand that?

However, while they were stunned, the other side was not. Tang San, who was standing at the back of the group, moved his hands a few times, and several extremely dazzling flashes appeared in the air behind him.

Not only did the students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy suffer, but the surrounding spectators were also blinded by the dazzling light.

As the audience's vision gradually returned, they saw that all the vice-captains of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were lying on the ground, while the students of the Hydra Academy stood leisurely to the side.

The referee, who was about to announce the victory of Hydra Academy, was stunned for a moment when the team leader of the vice team of Tiandou Royal Academy rushed over.

He pointed at Tang San angrily and said, "Referee, I want to file a complaint! That kid must have used a cheating device! Otherwise, he couldn't have created that flash of light just now."

The referee looked at Tang San with an inquiring gaze. Tang San summoned a Blue Silver Grass, then took a seed from it and threw it behind him.

"Snap!" Even though the referee had closed his eyes as expected, he still felt the bright light pierce through his eyelids. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was a white blur.

The others were once again ravaged by the Shiny Seed, emitting a cacophony of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Although the referee was initially taken aback, he understood that this ability came from the contestant's martial spirit and did not violate the rules of the competition. He then loudly announced:
"The winner of this competition is Hydra Academy!"

The eyes of the people on the VIP platform recovered quickly. Emperor Xueye looked at the students in blue and gold uniforms with some regret, then stood up and left.

He was clearly unhappy that such an outstanding student wasn't a student of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Salas glanced down at the ground, then said to Ning Fengzhi:

"Sect Leader Ning has excellent judgment. Your daughter must be in this academy. Sect Leader Ning has chosen a good academy for your daughter."

"Bishop, you misunderstand. Rongrong ran away from home back then, and I only found out where she went later." After saying that, Ning Fengzhi ignored Salas's reaction and left with Emperor Xueye.

Whether Salas believed it or not, Ning Fengzhi did.
