When Barrett Walker was at a loss, suddenly two joyous cheers came from behind the large stone. The joyful mood could affect everyone, but the voices were a bit weak! Barrett Walker turned around and found two disheveled individuals, looking completely ragged.
Barrett Walker was startled. Could they be wild people? He picked up a nearby stone to throw, but the wild people suddenly lifted their heads and exclaimed, "Big brother Barrett! Is that you?"
The Phoenix siblings felt extremely depressed! They had taken a risk and now, not long after, they were starving and couldn't find their way back. To make matters worse, Sing Phoenix hadn't come to meet them. They had even fainted from hunger a few times in the cave. They realized that no one was coming to rescue them from their plight, so they had to find their own way out. Now that they had finally emerged, they felt a sense of joy at surviving the ordeal, along with a deep resentment towards Sing Phoenix. They were filled with a desire to bite her and taste the chicken-flavored vengeance.
Barrett Walker quickly pulled the two girls out of the narrow cave. Looking at the faces of the two girls, with their disheveled appearance, they seemed no different from two little beggars.
Nancy Phoenix hastily asked, "Is there any food?" Even Lucy Phoenix, in front of Barrett Walker, couldn't care about her appearance. She looked at him with a pair of big eyes and long eyelashes, pleadingly.
Barrett Walker looked at the two lively and fragrant girls. He couldn't bear to see them suffer. Especially when Lucy Phoenix looked at him with a pitiful gaze, he felt as though his heart of steel was about to melt. Unfortunately, he had nothing to offer. He had to say, "I just came out of Dragon Scale Cave!"
"Damn it!" Nancy Phoenix cursed harshly, then clutched her stomach. She had drunk too much cold water, making her situation even worse. How was a girl like her supposed to cope?
With the two girls leading the way, Barrett Walker returned with a large bag of scales. His silent return meant that only the Five Wonders knew that the prominent figure on campus, who had been missing for almost a month, had returned. When the university sports meet began, the Mecha Department, which had been oppressed by the other three departments and was almost out of breath, saw a figure that could turn the tide appear silently. That night, he single-handedly fought the Five Wonders and emerged unscathed. Seeing the ease and contentment in Barrett Walker's eyes, the Five Wonders had a peaceful night, and Barrett Walker slept soundly. He was truly exhausted.
This year's university sports meet had started early. The sports meet hosted by the God of War Academy was different from those of other colleges. The students here were not just here to watch. The competition was extremely brutal but also very enthusiastic.
Today, was the third day of the sports meet. The previous events were unimportant, but today would bring the most exciting and fierce clashes. The Combat Department had already won eighteen gold medals, ten silver medals, and twenty-three bronze medals. Following closely behind was the Rifle Academy with six gold medals, nine silver medals, and seven bronze medals. The Occult Department had three gold medals and two silver medals, and the Mecha Department had only one gold medal and two bronze medals, while the other departments also had a small number of bronze medals, but no chance to win silver medals.

If the Mecha Department couldn't win a gold medal and break the zero, they might face demotion. The God of War Academy would then no longer be called the Four Great Departments. This would be an eternal disgrace for the Mecha Department. What was even more infuriating was that even the so-called Economics Department had bronze medals, almost becoming the Mecha Department's greatest rival!
Barrett Walker was unaware of all this, as he returned late in the evening and was too tired to wake up, and the five people did not bother to rouse him, leaving early. Barrett Walker was awakened by the heat, longing for the coolness of the dragon scale cave. He was dissatisfied with the situation and wished he could bring the climate of the cave here. Barrett Walker looked around the empty dormitory and listened carefully. He heard the distant sound of hoarse cheering, but he had no idea what was happening. He casually washed his face and admired the handsome figure in the mirror, no longer the same as before, and with a physique comparable to a model. Despite this, he left the room bare-chested, not wanting to attract attention from others. He was a very traditional gentleman, after all. He couldn't understand why he had become so handsome. Satisfied with his appearance, Barrett Walker nodded and realized that he was a stunning gentleman even without any grooming. He indulged in self-admiration in front of the mirror for a long time before finally dressing and heading out with a dry tree branch on his back.
"Come on! Come on!"
"Handsome fighters of the combat department, do not disappoint the ladies! Bring back all the gold medals."
"The hundred-meter muscle sprinter, can he create another miracle and lead his team to win the group championship? Can he assassinate the seed players of the mech department in their cradle? Stay tuned."
"Will the mech department make a breakthrough and achieve gold, silver, and bronze medals? Everything remains to be seen."
As Barrett Walker looked at the bustling scene before him, he suddenly guessed what was going on and felt very annoyed. He had not expected to miss so much action. He hurriedly went to find the territory of the mech department and saw the huge sign of the mech department on the opposite side of the field, with more than five thousand people sitting there. But at this moment, it was unusually deserted, with everyone looking downcast. Compared to the lively scenes of the other three major departments, the mech department was thoroughly embarrassed this time. It had been two days since the competition started, and they hadn't won a single gold medal! This was not only embarrassing, but it was also a major letdown. This was a highly anticipated event with media coverage, and the entire federation was paying attention to it.
Barrett Walker glanced at the crowded outdoor arena and couldn't help but admire the excellent infrastructure of the Warrior Academy. The entire school population was gathered there, and the venue could change continuously. Barrett Walker was well aware that there was a huge swimming pool underneath, eliminating the need for people to walk back and forth to change venues. Everything was happening in the middle. But Barrett Walker wanted to get to the mech department, and if he didn't walk through the central area, he would have to take a very long detour, which was not his style.
Barrett Walker stepped down the stairs and headed towards the center of the field. It was the most exciting moment of the hundred-meter relay, but it had not started yet. Suddenly, a person appeared without the attention of the staff, and Barrett Walker walked over.
"Ready!" a teacher suddenly shouted, and the entire stadium of nearly 30,000 people quickly fell silent.
Bang! The gunshot rang out, and the six qualified teams started moving, but Barrett Walker had no intention of going over there. He wanted to enjoy the excitement from where he was standing. The relay was a fast-paced back and forth, especially for the combat department, which had already left the rifle department behind by several positions. The mech department was doing alright, closely following the rifle department, but the supernatural department was not far behind and was catching up rapidly. "Hehe! It looks like this time the mech department might break the zero record!" the supernatural department next to them kept taunting. They wanted to use psychological warfare to prevent the mech department from even getting a bronze medal.
