"You Primordial Water Little Cyan Dragon." Emperor Longchang gave her a peculiar look, "You’re quite good at pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Scoring like this as a dragon isn’t easy. Reward... five, no, ten thousand Qian Gold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Lilong revealed a smug expression, with an air of pride akin to a top student, dispelling her previous slump.

Surprise, this must be a surprise.

Wang Lilong should be the best learner among the Wang Family’s three little ones, Emperor Longchang consoled himself as he flipped to the next exam paper.

"Ninety... ninety-eight points!" That dazzling score stung Emperor Longchang’s eyes, it also pierced his heart.

Upon seeing the name, it turned out to be Wang Yingxuan.

Another one pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, you silly lass, with such good grades, why do you always act as if you’re a "poor student"? This is clearly deceiving your Emperor.

Emperor Longchang’s face burned, he hunted swans all day, yet got pecked blind by a little gosling.

"Oh dear, I actually lost two points, I am always so careless." Wang Yingxuan lamented, her expression showing regret, but the pride in her eyes was undeniable. She threw a provocative glance at Wu Xue Ning, who scored only sixty-five.

Although Wu Xue Ning was annoyed, faced with the absolute score, she could no longer argue and furiously turned her head away, to not see, not feel bothered.

This made Wang Yingxuan even more smug, feeling exceptionally pleased, this was more satisfying than winning a fight.

No wonder those top students in the Clan Academy all have proud attitudes, often looking down on poor students with a hint of disdain. She now understood the mindset of a top student.

"Little Yingxuan, who would’ve thought you’d be so secretly talented." Although Emperor Longchang was somewhat displeased, he wouldn’t vent his anger on the kids, he waved his hand helplessly, "Reward, reward fifteen thousand scholarship."

The last one, Wang Anye, comported himself with calm steadiness, surely he wouldn’t be a poor student? Let’s hope for a twist.

Emperor Longchang opened the test paper for a look, a miracle did not occur, a clear perfect score smacked him in the face.

Emperor Longchang closed the exam paper with a displeased wave of his hand and said, "You did alright, reward twenty thousand Qian Gold."

The brilliant performance of the Wang Family’s three little ones made him feel like he had been swindled. He was originally prepared to take the test papers and gleefully slap them onto Wang Shouzhe’s face, condemning him, and to ridicule repeatedly.

In the end! The three exam papers slapped onto his own face instead.

"Anye, you young rascal, at such a young age, what do you learn if not pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?" Emperor Longchang complained, sighing at Wang Anye, "Deceptive."

"Your Majesty..." Wang Anye wiped a drop of cold sweat, cupping his hands, "What do you mean?"

"What did you say during the exam just now? You said there’s something wrong with this test paper." Emperor Longchang glared at him, "You’re deceiving me."

"Your Majesty," Wang Anye defensively replied, "I originally meant to say that the questions were too easy, could it be the wrong test paper?"

"Easy?" Emperor Longchang’s eyes widened, turning to look at Old Yao.

"Your Majesty, unjust accusation." Old Yao cried out, "This test paper, though not the hardest, is of above average difficulty for this age group in mathematics."

With suspicion, Emperor Longchang looked towards Wang Anye and said, "Anye, since you say this test paper is easy, let’s try something harder, are you willing to take the challenge?"

"Your Majesty..." Old Yao tried to counsel, as if foreseeing the outcome of Your Majesty dealing with five little wolf cubs.

"Your Majesty, it’s fine to give it a try, if I do poorly please don’t blame me." Wang Anye cautiously replied.

"Alright, increase the difficulty." Emperor Longchang waved his hand, initiating the next round.

The difficulty was indeed raised considerably, even Wang Lilong, the little "top student," only scored twenty points, and Wang Yingxuan barely passed.

As for Wu Xue Ning, the poor student, she scored only eight points, while Wu Zhixing scored eighty.

This difficulty level was almost the normal difficulty of the Wang Clan Academy, everyone’s true capabilities were revealed.

Only Wang Anye managed to score a perfect mark, smacking it onto Emperor Longchang’s face once again.

Indeed, only the challenge can distinguish who truly is a top student.

Everyone gazed at Wang Anye with shock and admiration, but Wang Anye remained ever composed.

"Good, good, Anye, your study is quite remarkable, just about worthy of my Yiluo." Despite his face burning with embarrassment, Emperor Longchang beamed like a gambler desperate to win, "Anye, there’s one last test paper, will you dare to challenge it?"

"Your Majesty, that test paper..." Old Yao felt compassion.

"Shut up." Emperor Longchang glared at him then turned to smile at Wang Anye, "Anye, the final exam is indeed tough, it was dug up from the Relic of the Divine Martial Dynasty. If you don’t dare, it’s alright."

"If you can score perfect once again, I’ll grant you a request. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can satisfy you."

"Your Majesty, isn’t this a bit improper?" Wang Anye shook his head, "How about stopping here for today."

"Stopping here?" Emperor Longchang was deeply displeased, as his face had been slapped swollen, a chance for redemption finally emerged, and now you tell me you don’t want to continue?

Instantly, his gaze became dark and displeased.

"Alright, alright." Wang Anye reluctantly agreed, "Your Majesty, I can only say I’ll try."

"Good, good." Emperor Longchang instantly "revived," looking kindly at Wang Anye, "Do not feel pressured, just try, I won’t withhold your rewards." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

In his heart, however, sneering coldly, once an incomplete paper shows up, I’ll go find Wang Shouzhe for trouble.
