They had all signed up for the Inner Academy Examination and after their rest; they were more than ready for it as they all eagerly woke up early on the day of the examination.
There were a few rounds to it and it was an event that was also open for everyone within the academy to watch.
The first round was based on speed and endurance.
One would have only a single hour to complete multiple laps around a course that was set by the academy.
A rank 5 cultivator would need to run at their full speed the entire time in order to make it, and yet, it wasn't as simple as it seemed and each year, most of the applicants would fail.
Entering the Inner Academy was quite difficult and within the Inner Academy, one would be given resources and contribution points monthly.
You would also have access to many more facilities and would become more valued by the academy with more opportunities provided.
