The Dean of Meteor Academy shook his head while thinking, "Your Majesty, it seems that in this Hunting Competition, our academy only lost to that student named Liu Guanfeng."
Sun Guangshan smiled as he looked at the Dean of Meteor Academy, "Do you know whose child that Liu Guanfeng is?"
The Dean thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, is that child the son of General Liu Yong'an?"
Sun Guangshan nodded, "That's right, he is General Liu Yong'an's youngest son. This child, like his father, takes everything seriously and seems to be even more intelligent than his dad."
Several examiners worked late into the night to tally all the scores.
The next morning, all the candidates and teachers gathered in the middle of the playground. After a while, King Sun Guangshan took his seat alongside several ministers. At this time, a young man sat next to Sun Guangshan. He appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, stood about 1.85 meters tall, had fair skin, and narrow eyes with a smile that seemed almost programmed on his face. He looked harmless and had an approachable aura.
Liu Guanfeng asked Dean Su, who was standing in front, "Dean, who is that young man sitting next to the king?"
Dean Su glanced at the stage and replied, "That person is His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Sun Yong."
Once all the guests were seated, the Dean of Meteor Academy stepped forward: "Good morning to all teachers and students. Thanks to everyone's efforts, all events of this Campus Competition have concluded. Now we invite Your Majesty to announce the competition results." Thunderous applause erupted from below the arena and among the audience.
Sun Guangshan approached the front: "Now I will announce the results of the calligraphy competition: First place goes to Liu Qi from Starlight Academy; second place goes to Zhao Nian from Starlight Academy; third place goes to Li Xiaohan from Rainfront Academy; fourth place goes to Wang Jiao from Rainfront Academy; fifth place goes to..."
Next were the results for the calligraphy works competition: First place went to Li Xiaohan and Wang Jiao from Rainfront Academy; second place went to...
The next announcement is the team results of the Hunting Competition: First place goes to Rainfront Academy with a score of 457; second place is Meteor Academy with 456...
Finally, I will announce the final rankings of this year's Campus Competition: First place is Rainfront Academy; second place is Meteor Academy; third place is Starlight Academy; fourth place is Stream Academy; fifth place is Starlight Academy. The results have been announced."
After announcing all the results, Sun Guangshan returned to his seat. Next up is the awards ceremony. Liu Guanfeng won a total of five championships, receiving thirty gold coins as a reward. Combined with the winnings from gambling, Liu Guanfeng now has over one hundred twenty gold coins.
As for the prizes, they are just some study tools, which everyone finds uninteresting.
After the awards ceremony, the principal of Meteor Academy came to the stage again: "In this year's competition, we have seen many outstanding students emerge, which is the purpose of holding the Campus Competition. Now, please welcome Li Xiaohan and Wang Jiao from Rainfront Academy to the stage."
Upon hearing their names, Wang Jiao and Li Xiaohan were momentarily stunned before quickly making their way to the stage. Everyone in the audience was puzzled as to why these two girls were called up.
"In this Campus Competition, Li Xiaohan's calligraphy work is titled 'Song of the Wanderer'; Wang Jiao's calligraphy work is titled 'Spring Dawn.' Both students have demonstrated exceptional writing skills, and our king has decided to include these two poems in the curriculum for both the Primary and Intermediate Academies. We are here today to present awards to these two students."
Upon hearing this reason, the two girls jumped for joy on stage and waved vigorously at Liu Guanfeng in the audience. Liu Guanfeng also stood below, enthusiastically applauding for both girls.
The two girls received red envelopes presented by King Sun Guangshan on stage, each containing twenty gold coins. They happily ran down from the Arena.
The principal of Meteor Academy continued after the awards were presented: "In this competition, we also have a student who has won five individual championships—he is Liu Guanfeng from Rainfront Academy. To recognize his outstanding performance in this Campus Competition, the king has decided to allow Liu Guanfeng to choose one treasure from the palace Treasury tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, both teachers and students in the audience gasped in amazement, followed by thunderous applause. All academies turned their gaze toward Liu Guanfeng, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
In the audience, some individuals were paying close attention to Liu Guanfeng's every move. When they heard that the king would personally reward Liu Guanfeng, a glare filled with hatred shot out from among them. A girl turned and walked out of the arena, followed by a group of younger boys. Just as they were about to leave, one boy turned back and shot a fierce glare at Liu Guanfeng.
The girl leading the way was Chen Yuer, and the boy who glared at Liu Guanfeng was Dong Ning.
Finally, the Dean of Meteor Academy announced the conclusion of this year's Campus Competition.
Dean Su, along with Liu Guanfeng and other faculty and students, returned to the dormitory. After arriving, Dean Su ordered everyone to pack their belongings in preparation for going home. He then called Liu Guanfeng into his room.
"Liu Guanfeng, let's talk about Ma Sanbao," Dean Su said calmly while sitting on the bed and looking at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng took a moment to collect his thoughts after winning five championships and a special award, then looked at Dean Su and recounted everything that had happened in detail.
When Dean Su heard that Ma Sanbao had deliberately caused trouble for Liu Guanfeng during the competition, his brows furrowed. He felt frustrated: it was surprising that both were sons of generals and the youngest in their families, yet there was such a significant difference between them—one striving for the glory of the academy while the other acted out of self-interest.
When Liu Guanfeng mentioned luring Ma Sanbao into a trap, Dean Su's expression relaxed. He shook his head in disbelief: he hadn't expected Liu Guanfeng to be so cunning. This approach not only eliminated Ma Sanbao's threat but also preserved his own dignity while teaching him a lesson. However, it seemed that Ma Sanbao had not learned from this experience and would likely harbor even more resentment toward Liu Guanfeng.
Despite being his student, Dean Su felt he couldn't say much about the situation. He finally advised Liu Guanfeng, "This means your animosity with Ma Sanbao has deepened. Be cautious about your relationship with him moving forward; I hope you two won't have any more unpleasant encounters."
Liu Guanfeng bowed slightly and replied, "Dean Su, as long as Ma Sanbao doesn't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to bother him. But if he continues to harass me, I won't hold back."
Dean Su merely waved his hand dismissively, allowing Liu Guanfeng to leave.
Dean Su was well aware of the ongoing conflict between Liu Guanfeng and Ma Sanbao; they had clashed shortly after school started and had resolved their issues in the Arena, where Ma Sanbao had suffered a significant defeat. Nevertheless, Dean Su was very pleased with how Liu Guanfeng handled the situation.
For a child only six or seven years old to treat his subordinates with such consideration and regard them as brothers was commendable. This was evident from the respect shown by Bao Rui and his companions toward him. Dean Su could only continue to protect Liu Guanfeng discreetly to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Soon, all faculty and students had packed their belongings, and it was already noon. Dean Su treated everyone from Rainfront Academy to a delightful meal. During lunch, he praised several students who had performed exceptionally well, bringing smiles to everyone's faces. This was the first time Rainfront Academy had won the championship in the Academy Competition since its establishment.
Teachers and classmates frequently congratulated Liu Guanfeng and raised their drinks in his honor. In addition to awarding the academy five thousand gold coins, the competition also provided numerous low-level Core items and teaching equipment, as well as many magical beasts ranging from first rank to Fourth Rank for student trials. Therefore, it was needless to say how delighted the teachers at Rainfront Academy were; ever since it was announced that Rainfront Academy had secured first place, smiles had not left their faces.
A delightful lunch was quickly finished, and Dean Su had prepared all the horse carriages, specifically arranging two vehicles. One was for Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and their mounts, while the other was for Ma Sanbao and his Leopard. As Ma Sanbao was helped into the carriage, he couldn't resist turning back to glare at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng chose to ignore such petty behavior.
The group from Rainfront Academy returned to Starfall City, once again staying at Lucky Restaurant. This time, their treatment at Lucky Restaurant was completely different. The innkeeper personally came out to greet them and announced that all guest rooms were closed to the public for the day.
Each room was tidied up perfectly, with freshly washed bedding that was snow-white and clean. Dean Su nodded in satisfaction. Since Rainfront Academy settled at Lucky Restaurant, the business had become increasingly prosperous; many people came in just to see Liu Guanfeng, who had received a personal award from the king.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng was leisurely lying on the bed, resting. Meanwhile, Ma Sanbao, who had been competing with Liu Guanfeng, was sent home in a carriage arranged by Dean Su.
Upon returning home, Madam Qian saw Ma Sanbao's condition and burst into tears.
Seeing his mother like this made Ma Sanbao feel wronged as tears streamed down his face. The two of them cried together in Ma Sanbao's room for a while. After some time, Ma Sanbao stopped crying and said to his mother, "Mother, please instruct the servants to find a Beastmaster for me; my Leopard seems to be seriously injured."
Madam Qian nodded and left the room. A short while later, she returned with a steaming bowl of ginseng soup and said, "Sanbao, drink this ginseng soup to nourish your body. We can discuss everything when your father returns."
Ma Sanbao took the ginseng soup and drank it all in one go. Then he held his mother's hand and said, "Mother, I do have something important to discuss, but it must not be told to Father. If he finds out, he definitely won't allow me to do it."
Madam Qian replied to Ma Sanbao, "What could it be that your father wouldn't agree with? If he disagrees, I will support you."
Ma Sanbao shook his head and said, "No way, Mother. You saw what happened last time. If I tell Father about this matter again, I'm afraid he will beat me to death."
