"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Hearing the sound, Karn woke up and pick up the phone sleepy. It was Duryodhan "Hey are you going to wake up or not"
"Where are you, don't you know today was college entrance exam"
Hearing this Karn suddenly woke up from sleep
"what"
"Ok I am coming wait for me"
The sun had barely begun to illuminate the horizon as Karn, now fully awake and dressed in his cultivation attire, hurriedly made his way to the exam venue. The city was still bathed in the soft glow of dawn, and the air carried a sense of anticipation as students from various schools converged at the exam site.
As Karn approached the venue, he could see a sea of hopeful faces, each filled with determination and nervous energy. The exam site itself was a sprawling complex with multiple examination halls and practice arenas. The air buzzed with the excitement of countless students, all eager to showcase their skills and knowledge.
Karn located the registration area and joined the queue of students waiting to check in. As he stood in line, he exchanged nods and greetings with familiar faces from Bhoj High School. Duryodhan, Mrityunjay, and Divyanshi were also present, each sharing a mix of excitement and nervousness.
"Okay finally you are here" as Duryodhan greet Karn
"Ok let's go"
Once inside the examination hall, Karn found his assigned seat and settled in. The theoretical section of the exam was the first to begin, testing students on their understanding of cultivation principles, history, and theoretical knowledge.
Karn, having diligently studied and practiced, approached the questions with confidence.
As the theoretical exam progressed, Karn's mind seamlessly navigated through the questions, recalling the teachings from his cultivation classes and the knowledge gained during his wilderness experiences.
The questions ranged from the basics of Thunder manipulation to the intricacies of ancient martial cultivation techniques.
After the theoretical section concluded, the practical exams commenced. Students were directed to various practice arenas where they would demonstrate their combat skills, realm, and elemental abilities. Karn, with the Qinglong sword strapped to his back, walked towards the designated combat arena.
On the playground, "silent!"
Suddenly all students became silent and move towards the voice and found the examiner responsible for physical test with him was a young man.
On the stage, Principal Mr. Arjun and Commander Mr. Surya sat among the other high school principals of Bhoj City. Occupying the center seat was the distinguished City Lord Vikramaditya, his presence dominating the dais.
The principals represented the various schools under their leadership - institutions dedicated to nurturing the future talents of Bhoj City. Commander Surya oversaw the military affairs, working closely with the city's guardian forces.
And presiding over them all was Lord Vikramaditya, an eminent figure who had led Bhoj City for many prosperous years. His stately manner and keen gaze commanded respect among his gathered subordinates.
At the playground where exam was held,
"My name is Gautam, and I am student at Nalanda University. Today I am responsible for your physical test"
Hearing Nalanda university, students became crazy.
"What he is from Nalanda University"
"Yeah, he is, every year the examiner is always from Nalanda University"
"Ohh I also want to go to Nalanda University"
"Just dream"
"What did you say" the students started fighting each other.
"Nalanda University: In the mystical realm of Bharat, where magic and ancient wisdom intertwine, lies the venerable Nalanda University. Nestled amidst lush landscapes and hidden from the mundane eyes of the world, Nalanda stands as a bastion of arcane knowledge and scholarly pursuits.
The university's origins are shrouded in the mists of time, with legends suggesting that it was founded by celestial beings who sought to bridge the realms of mortals and magic. It was established far before the Dark Age.
Nalanda University stands as a beacon of arcane enlightenment, where the pursuit of knowledge transcends the boundaries of the mundane, and students embark on a journey to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos. It remains a testament to the magical heritage of Bharat, a realm where the threads of magic and academia are interwoven in an eternal dance. "
"Ok now silent"
"Test will start according to roll number so all students line up roll no. wise"
In the heart of the ground where Gautam stood, a commanding presence loomed—a towering Mahayana Totem, reaching a formidable height of five meters.
This imposing structure bore intricate engravings, etched with mystical and oppressive lines that seemed to pulsate with an ancient energy. Crafted in the era preceding the dark age, the Mahayana Totem stood as a relic, a testament to an epoch when knowledge and mysticism seamlessly intertwined.
The totem served a dual purpose, acting as both a cultivation realm and a measure of one's prowess in the realms of cultivation. Its surface, adorned with symbols that held the essence of forgotten wisdom, bore witness to countless aspirants who sought to unravel the secrets concealed within its arcane engravings.
The Mahayana Totem, with its imposing stature, held the power to gauge and scrutinize the very essence of an individual's spiritual and physical strength.
As Gautam gazed upon the totem, he could feel the weight of its history pressing upon him. The enigmatic lines seemed to ripple with the echoes of a bygone era, whispering tales of those who had stood before it in pursuit of enlightenment.
Legends spoke of the totem's ability to resonate with the energy within an individual, serving as a conduit between the mortal realm and the ethereal forces that governed it.
The Mahayana Totem, in its silent grandeur, continued to play a vital role in the sacred rituals of the cultivation grounds. As disciples and practitioners gathered around its imposing presence, the totem became a focal point for introspection and self-discovery.
It became the canvas upon which one's spiritual journey unfolded, a testament to the intricate dance between the past and the present, between the mundane and the mystical.
In the contemporary era, as realms and punching power were measured with sophisticated techniques, the Mahayana Totem retained its significance as a revered artifact—an emblem of continuity in a world that had seen epochs rise and fall.
"Ok this is Mahayana Totem, now everyone will come one by one and infuse their aura into Mahayana Totem"
"Then it will show your realm according to concentration and purity of aura into your body, and it will also can detect people who have upgrade using forbidden medicine"
Engaging with forbidden medicine may offer individuals a rapid ascent in their cultivation realm, enabling a shortcut to power; however, this expedited journey comes at a considerable cost. The very essence of this illicit elixir feeds on the latent potential energy that could shape an individual's future advancements, creating a perilous trade-off.
Those who succumb to the allure of forbidden medicine find themselves unknowingly relinquishing the untapped reservoir of future capabilities.
In the fiercely competitive arena of college entrance exams, where individuals strive to showcase their cultivated prowess, a few desperate souls, lacking the requisite realm, may resort to the temptations of forbidden medicine.
The allure of immediate empowerment proves too enticing for some aspiring candidates who are unwilling to endure the conventional path of patient cultivation.
Yet, the consequences of this clandestine shortcut are severe. Those who choose to harness forbidden medicine to bolster their chances in the exam inevitably find themselves ensnared in the web of repercussions.
The authorities overseeing the sanctity of the examination process are vigilant, with stringent measures in place to identify and apprehend individuals attempting to manipulate their cultivation levels through unauthorized means.
