You could take your original plan, and just wrap it inside of while loop. Since scanf returns the number of input items matched, and returns an EOF (a macro for the end-of-file condition whose value is just -1), we could read input until an EOF occurs.

#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {

    int id, a1, a2, a3, a4, b1, b2, b3, b4;

    while ( scanf("%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
            &id, &a1, &a2, &a3, &a4, &b1, &b2, &b3, &b4) != EOF ) {

        // output your ints however your prof wants them

        printf("%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d\n",
            id, a1, a2, a3, a4, b1, b2, b3, b4);

    }

    return 0;

}

Notice how I have the assignment in the loop condition. This practice is very idiomatic in C, and you'll see it in a lot of further texts if you dive deeper into C. If you don't feel comfortable having the assignment there, you can rewrite it in the form of a do-while.
