"The boy, Ling Feng, is that his name?"
The square-faced tutor's gaze lingered on Ling Feng, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he turned to ask a past student beside him.
"Yes, Tutor Muu Ren."
"Good," Tutor Muu Ren spoke in a hushed voice, "When the time comes to record the scores, list Ling Feng and that other boy who persisted until the end as joint first."
"Understood, sir!"
The senior student nodded promptly. Tutor Muu Ren was a Heavenly Level Nine Star Tutor; aside from the Dean and Scholars of that rank, he wielded the greatest authority—and he was a candidate for those senior roles.
"This year indeed has a good number of promising seeds," Tutor Muu Ren said with a light smile, "Perhaps, we'll see a few individuals who could influence the Empire's fate."
The moment Ling Feng stepped out of the Array, Ouyang Jing rushed over, giving him a thumbs up, "Brother, you're really a good man!"
