Poking the Bear

To this gathering, followed a week of preparation.

Strategies, pairings, roles, and tactics were discussed in secret amongst the numerous members of the top hundred.. Until finally, the day of the test arrived.

The many students who had reached the peak of the tenth stage of immortal cultivation, had now been regrouped in a large square. In front of them, stood a massive obelisk carved out of a gigantic boulder. Depicted on it, were numerous words in an ancient tongue that had fallen into disuse, and at its feet, was the spatial formation that turned this obelisk into a teleporting device.

Standing just outside of this formation, were three cultivators. Two of them were known to all of the students as Krit the Sniper.. the explorer who had been put in charge of the whole academy along with the second man, who was clad in thick plate armor, and stood quietly with an authoritative expression on his face, showing his military background without even needing to talk.
