"Wait a moment, let me show you: Ma Sanbao still hasn't returned; his score is fifteen points. Du Zhenyang has sixty points; Wang Yuqiang has ninety-three points; Bao Rui just scored one hundred five points plus the sixteen points you gave him, making his total score one hundred twenty-one points.
I said to Liu Guanfeng, what method did you use? Today, both Du Zhenyang and Wang Yuqiang brought back nothing but turkeys and Golden Rooster, and the quantity has surged, all of them alive. Bao Rui also rarely brings back anything that isn't alive, and they are all avian magical beasts. Did you hunt all the avian magical beasts on the mountain?
Liu Guanfeng scratched his head apologetically: "Sorry, teacher, we didn't mean to. It's all for the Hunting Competition. As for the method... could you please keep it a secret for now? If everyone knows, our academy won't have any advantage in the next hunt."
Proctor shook his head: "You really are quite clever."
While the two were chatting, several people searching for Ma Sanbao had already returned. Wang Yuqiang was carrying Ma Sanbao, while Bao Rui had Ma Sanbao's Leopard on his back.
Seeing Ma Sanbao in such a sorry state made Liu Guanfeng unable to hold back his laughter, though he tried to maintain a serious expression. When he saw Ma Sanbao return, Liu Guanfeng and the proctor immediately rushed over.
The proctor asked, "What happened to you, Ma Sanbao?"
Liu Guanfeng also said seriously from the side, "I haven't seen you for two days, where have you been?"
At that moment, Ma Sanbao, hungry and injured, could barely speak and could only glare fiercely at Liu Guanfeng. Ignoring him, Liu Guanfeng pulled over the sled used for carrying prey, letting Wang Yuqiang place Ma Sanbao on it, then putting the Leopard on as well. With xp pulling it, they headed back to the training ground of Meteor Academy.
At this time, only the students from Rainfront Academy had not yet arrived at the training ground; all other faculty and students from various academies were already in position.
Seeing that the students from Rainfront Academy had returned, the chief judge of the event, the dean of Meteor Academy, let out a sigh of relief. He called over the proctor to inquire about the reason for their late return.
The proctor explained: "Chief Judge, after time was up, Ma Sanbao did not return. Everyone went out to search for him and eventually found him; by then, both he and his mount were injured. That's why we brought him back late." The proctor chose to conceal the fact that Liu Guanfeng had returned late.
The chief judge could only nod; after all, it was an accident and unavoidable.
The chief judge stood back at the podium: "I declare that the Hunting Competition has concluded successfully. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, all participating teams should come here for the award ceremony. You may all disperse now."
The teachers and students of Rainfront Academy hurriedly took Ma Sanbao and his Leopard to see the doctor and the Beastmaster. Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng and his three companions returned to their dormitory. They hadn't had a proper sleep for the past three days, and with the early morning hunts in the mountains, the four of them went straight to bed as soon as they got back.
Liu Guanfeng and Bao Rui didn't even take a bite of the food that Copper Bull had brought back. Bao Rui merely greeted Wang Jiao, informing her that he wasn't injured before heading off to sleep.
Dean Su visited Ma Sanbao's bedside to check on his condition and asked what had happened.
Ma Sanbao said, "Dean Su, I was harmed by Liu Guanfeng. He dug a trap and tricked me into standing next to it. I fell in, and while I know we have some conflicts, I didn't expect him to go this far." As he spoke, Ma Sanbao began to cry.
Hearing this, Dean Su furrowed his brow. He was well aware of Liu Guanfeng's usual behavior. If Liu Guanfeng could do something so reckless, Dean Su found it hard to believe. He looked at Ma Sanbao lying in bed:
"Alright, I understand. You should rest here for now. I'll go find Liu Guanfeng and clarify things. If he really did this, I will seek justice for you."
Ma Sanbao slightly bowed his head, "Thank you, Dean Su."
With lingering doubts, Dean Su arrived at Liu Guanfeng's dormitory door. He found Copper Bull, Iron Bull, Wang Jiao, and Li Xiaohan chatting at the entrance without entering the dormitory. When they saw Dean Su approaching, they immediately greeted him.
Dean Su nodded at them, "Why are you all standing outside? Didn't you go in?"
Copper Bull bowed before Dean Su and reported, "Report, Dean Su. Liu Guanfeng and Bao Rui fell asleep as soon as they entered the room. Du Zhenyang and Wang Yuqiang did the same. On the way back, it seemed they mentioned being exhausted these past few days and not sleeping well at all due to having to hunt in the mountains every day."
Dean Su initially wanted to have a serious talk with Liu Guanfeng about Ma Sanbao's situation but felt reluctant upon hearing that they had gone straight to sleep. Over these past few days of competition, Liu Guanfeng had surprised him time and again. Although Liu Guanfeng hadn't said much to him, Dean Su understood everything from his actions.
He was constantly striving for glory for their academy, doing his best in every event. As Dean Su pondered this, he returned to his own dormitory.
In the hospital room, Ma Sanbao felt extremely uncomfortable. He had intended to disrupt Liu Guanfeng's hunting but ended up falling into the trap that Liu Guanfeng had set for him. After injuring his leg, he had spent two days and nights stuck in that trap with only a roasted chicken to eat. Thinking of this made Ma Sanbao grit his teeth in frustration.
Meanwhile, in the palace, King Sun Guangshan of Starfall Kingdom sat on his dragon throne looking down at the busy examiners below him: "How is the progress on the results?"
A judge stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we are currently in the process of calculation. The results from Meteor Academy have come in: Ji Hu scored a perfect hundred; Cui Wenwu scored ninety-eight; Chen Shan scored ninety; Bai Tianqi scored eighty-five; Liu Songnian scored eighty-three. The total score for Meteor Academy is four hundred fifty-seven."
Sun Guangshan nodded, "Yes, this year's results for Meteor Academy are quite good. The credit goes to the dean."
The chief judge, who is also the dean of Meteor Academy, immediately bowed and said, "It is all thanks to Your Majesty's support and the hard work of the teachers below. My contribution is minimal."
Sun Guangshan smiled and replied, "You are being too modest."
"Your Majesty, the scores for Starlight Academy, Stream Academy, and Starlight Academy have also been calculated. None of these three academies had any individual scores that were very high; the highest was only sixty-nine. The final scores are: Starlight Academy three hundred twenty-six; Stream Academy three hundred one; and Starlight Academy three hundred twelve," reported another judge.
"Then what about Rainfront Academy? Why haven't their scores been calculated yet? Hurry up and check; I want to see if there is anyone outstanding from Rainfront Academy," Sun Guangshan urged.
The dean of Meteor Academy looked at Sun Guangshan in confusion: Is there anyone from Rainfront Academy that Your Majesty is interested in?
Soon, the scores for Rainfront Academy were also announced. A judge approached Sun Guangshan and said, "Your Majesty, the hunting scores for Rainfront Academy have been tallied: Ma Sanbao scored fifteen; Du Zhenyang scored sixty."
The dean of Meteor Academy smiled slightly at hearing the first two scores: This is too low; our lowest score was still eighty-three, and these two combined only make seventy-five.
"Wang Yuqiang scored ninety-three; Bao Rui scored one hundred twenty-one; Liu Guanfeng scored one hundred sixty-eight."
Upon hearing Bao Rui and Liu Guanfeng's scores, the dean of Meteor Academy looked stunned and muttered, "Impossible, this can't be. How could a student possibly score one hundred sixty-eight in such a short time? You must have made a mistake; check it again thoroughly."
Another judge stepped forward and said, "Dean, we cannot have made an error. We have already double-checked three times, and all the data is correct."
Sun Guangshan was also shocked by Liu Guanfeng's one hundred sixty-eight points: "So which academy is the final group champion?"
A judge stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, it is Rainfront Academy. The final score for Rainfront Academy is four hundred fifty-seven, which is one point higher than Meteor Academy."
The headmaster of Meteor Academy asked, "Who was the judge for the hunting event at Rainfront Academy?"
The examiner in charge of scoring for Liu Guanfeng's group stood up and said, "It was me. May I ask what you need, headmaster?"
"You will report to me about the hunting situation of the candidates from Rainfront Academy over the past three days." After the headmaster of Meteor Academy raised an objection, Sun Guangshan also nodded with interest in agreement.
The examiner bowed and replied, "Yes, there are five candidates from Rainfront Academy. On the first day, only the student named Liu Guanfeng did not score any points; he used all the prey he caught to cook food for his companions."
"Wait a moment. Are you saying that Liu Guanfeng used all the prey he caught on the first day as food? With his method of hunting, who could possibly eat that much food?" Sun Guangshan interrupted the examiner.
"Your Majesty, according to Liu Guanfeng, he always arrived late to where the magical beasts were after others had already scared them away. Therefore, he caught very few prey on the first day. However, he did not complain and simply gave all his catches to his companions as food," the examiner explained.
Sun Guangshan closed his eyes and nodded, "Continue."
"Yes. That night, Liu Guanfeng did not return to our prepared room to rest but went hunting on Trial Mountain by himself. By the next morning, he brought back many turkeys and Golden Roosters, all alive. In the evening, he returned with even more turkeys and Golden Roosters, along with a Golden Antelope, all alive. He also brought back two dead turkeys for dinner.
The student named Bao Rui was also able to bring back a large number of turkeys and Golden Roosters every day, all alive. On the third day, I noticed that the other two students also brought back a large number of turkeys and Golden Roosters, which were also alive."
The headmaster of Meteor Academy frowned and said, "Everyone was able to bring back a large number of turkeys and Golden Roosters, all alive? Did you not ask them how they managed to catch those chickens?"
"I asked them, but they wouldn't say anything. I couldn't force them to tell me," the examiner replied.
The headmaster of Meteor Academy waved his hand dismissively, "You may continue with your work."
