On 11th December, a major event took place in the academic circle.
It was not only in the mathematics community, but it was also in the medical world.
Three days ago, Professor Tu Youyou from Karolinska Institutet of Sweden published a thesis titled [A Gift from Traditional Chinese Medicine to the World]. Today in Stockholm, she received the Nobel Prize in Medicine!
William Campbell and Omura were also awarded. The three would share the $8 million SEK prize.
Thus, the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner was born!
Lu Zhou could not help but feel happy for the Chinese academic community.
Since the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner was born, it was about time for him to win the Fields Medal.
However, the interesting thing was that a few days after the Nobel Prize was awarded, the official website of the National Knowledge Bureau published an article entitled "The Revelation of Artemisinin Patent" which told the story behind this Nobel Prize.
At that time, there was no establishment of an intellectual property system in China. Therefore, the publication of research results in international journals was the only option. However, the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences later developed the compound "artemether" based on artemisinin. The patent was not in the hands of the Chinese but was taken by the Swiss Novartis company to establish patent barriers.
There were many reasons for this, but it was mainly because of the neglect of patent issues.
Their patent was basically stolen.
What was even more embarrassing was that although Professor Tu Youyou was the one who won the Nobel Prize, not a single company hired her.
The highest reward for this hero was a 1979 national invention award of which she only received 200 yuan.
In contrast, Omura, who had also won the award, accumulated nearly 30 billion yuan in personal wealth. At the age of 80 years old, he no longer engaged in scientific research, but instead, he was fiddling with collectible art.
The importance of intellectual property protection was obvious.
Due to Lu Zhou's concerns about patents, he read this article on the official website of the National Knowledge Bureau.
This was like a warning to him.
…
The academic conference at the end of the year was set one week before Christmas.
On the morning of the 18th, a flight landed at California airport.
Lu Zhou dragged his suitcase out of the airport and got a taxi. He then went to the University of Berkeley.
The annual Federal Mathematics Society conference would be held at Berkeley.
The Cole Prize would also be announced at the ceremony.
Although the winner had been disclosed to Lu Zhou, he was still just as excited. 
Lu Zhou got off the taxi at Berkeley and met Luo Wenxuan, who had been waiting for him.
Luo Wenxuan gave him a warm hug and said, "Why didn't you call me? I could've picked you up at the airport."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's fine, I can just take a taxi."
Before Lu Zhou came to America, he did not notify anyone. He only called Luo Wenxuan after he landed.
As a member of the Federal Mathematics Society, Edward Witten would not miss the conference. Since Luo Wenxuan was under Witten's wings, naturally, he would also want to join in on the fun.
Luo Wenxuan glanced at his watch and when he saw that it was getting late, he said, "Let's go. I'll take you to your hotel. The organizer prepared a five-star hotel… Well, it has a five-star rating, but I think that at most, it's around four-star."
Lu Zhou, "How does it compare to the Princeton hotel?"
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Princeton hotel? The one across from Palmer Square? It's a bit better than that one, but the academic atmosphere is much less."
Berkeley was located in the San Francisco Bay Area, the second largest city in California. Compared to where Princeton was in, this atmosphere was undoubtedly more fast-paced.
On the way, the two started chatting about what happened in Beijing.
"Not bad, Lu Zhou. Bullsh*ting again before the end of the year."
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "What do you mean bullsh*ting? Is academic bullsh*ting?"
"Wow, your tone is getting more and more like Old Tang," said Luo Wenxuan. He coughed and said, "So, as the winner of this year's Cole Prize in Number Theory, what are your thoughts, Mr. Lu Zhou?"
"No thoughts. It hasn't even begun."
Although the award ceremony was in a few days, the email said to kept it a secret. Thus, Lu Zhou felt necessary to keep this news confidential.
Although Luo Wenxuan immediately saw through his act, he said, "Fine, stop pretending. The written notice should be sent out one month ago, so you must already know."
Lu Zhou, "Fine… I actually already got the notice. But the email said to keep it confidential before the official award ceremony."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone," said Luo Wenxuan as he patted Lu Zhou's shoulder. He then said, "Just buy me drinks when you get the prize money!"
Lu Zhou remembered the unpleasant experience from last time and he quickly said, "Drinking is fine, but let's go to a normal bar this time."
Luo Wenxuan waved his hand and said, "Of course. This is near the university, so the bars are all very formal. Even the professors will come. Oh yeah, the chick you met last time, how is it? Are you still in contact with her?"
Lu Zhou was stunned. He did not know what Luo Wenxuan was talking about, "What chick?"
Luo Wenxuan said, "The one at CERN… It's only been half a year. Have you already forgotten about her?"
Lu Zhou was speechless.
"That one? I didn't do anything with her."
Luo Wenxuan said, "Wait a minute, I don't understand… You're saying you dragged her into your room, covered her up with a blanket, and left?"
Lu Zhou said, "Not a blanket, I pulled the curtains… What else would I do? Wait for her to wake up?"
Luo Wenxuan stared at Lu Zhou for a long time before he sighed.
"Bro…"
Lu Zhou, "What?"
Luo Wenxuan sighed and said, "I thought that there's nothing else I could teach you, but now it seems that you have to learn from the beginning…"
Lu Zhou, "…?"


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

Qin Guan held three individual awards in his hands. Looking at the lonely, small diploma in his hand, Ouyang Fen felt weak both physically and mentally.

Qin Guan piled up his certificates and returned to his original position. The results of the local final would soon be announced. The host read from his card excitedly, "The third winners of the capital local final of the New Face Model Competition are No. 21 Li Xiaoli, and No.7 XXX..."

They both came on the stage to get their bouquets and certificates from the distinguished guests. Li Xiaoli was quite happy. As a green hand designer, I’m really fortunate to place third. She hadn't just won an award, but also a chance to be guided by a professional designer. Nobody could be happier than her.

"The silver medal winners are XXX, No.11 of the female group, and Ouyang Fen, No.20 of the male group." When Ouyang Fen returned with his diploma, Qin Guan grinned at him and said insincerely, "Congratulations."

F*ck congratulations! As Ouyang Fen had expected, the host announced that Qin Guan was the winner of the male group. Qin Guan put his pile of certificates into Ouyang Fen's hands and headed for the stage. "Give me a hand, buddy. I've got too many awards."

Too many awards? I have plenty myself. You are bullying me! And I'm not your buddy, I’m your enemy! Your arch enemy! Understand?

Smiling brilliantly, Qin Guan accepted his bouquet and diploma. The host was holding a small announcement from the Chief Editor of "Models" magazine.

Holding the microphone excitedly, she announced the good news to the models, "Dear contestants, our competition has been completed successfully. The top 10 contestants will participate in the national quarter-final, representing the capital. Of course, that's not the only good news. The following news, brought by the Chief Editor of ‘Models’ magazine, will surprise you all. The top three of the competition will be invited to an outdoor photoshoot of the magazine in September, the most beautiful part of autumn. The photos will be published inside the latest issue of the magazine. Aren't you excited by the news?"

"Yes!"

"Excellent!"

The contestants buzzed with excitement. Such a chance was quite big for them.

The competition ended on that happy note.

Qin Guan was frowning as he returned backstage. Sister Xue was negotiating with the staff of the organizing committee and packing up his diplomas. She thought that there was something wrong with him, but she was too busy to ask. I’ll find out later.

She got rid of Ou Qiang, packed up Qin Guan's things, arranged his diplomas and bouquet, got his first winner award and notice for the quarter-final, put the photoshoot notice away, and finally drove Qin Guan back to college in her shabby car.

It was dark and the headlights of her small Lada created a bright halo on the road. Sister Xue let out a long breath and told Qin Guan, "I know what you're thinking. Just say it. You don't want to attend the photoshoot at all."

Qin Guan nodded. "Won't it affect my courses? I’ll be really busy."

Sister Xue held the steering wheel with one hand, opened the glove compartment, and searched around inside. Qin Guan pulled a wrinkled pack of cigarettes from the side of the door. He handed her the last cigarette and said, "That's what you're looking for, right? You should smoke less. You always smoke, no matter what mood you're in."

Sister Xue took the cigarette and lit it up, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Stop talking nonsense. I read the schedule. We’ll start on Friday afternoon and shoot on Saturday. You’ll be background for others. The job will be finished in half a day. I’ll drive there with you, and we’ll return on the same day. It won’t take too long."

Qin Guan felt relieved. Then he came to the most important question, "How much is the award for the local final?"

Sister Xue sneered, as if she had known Qin Guan would ask that question. "2,000 yuan."

"What? Only 2,000 yuan?" Qin Guan would have jumped out of his seat if it wasn't for the seat belt.

"You should be grateful. Some domestic competitions even ask the participants for money. I picked a formal competition for you. Anyway, you could make some money. How much do you expect to make with your current fame though? If you win the national final, the award will be bigger. About 10,000 yuan, I think."

All right. The total prizes will be more than 10,000 yuan. Qin Guan felt that his effort hadn't gone to waste. At the entrance of the college, he picked up his bouquet and diplomas. He took six bills from the award money and handed them to Sister Xue. "Here is your share, one third of the total amount. Take it. It's late, buy something delicious for yourself."

Sister Xue accepted the money, murmuring "nasty kid" before she got back in the car. She didn't forget to remind Qin Guan happily, "There is no term for an award share in our contract. Thanks a lot for your generous gift." Then she drove away, leaving in a wisp of smoke. Qin Guan saw her off blankly. He wanted to weep, but he failed to shed any tears. I was cheated. Where is my money?

The intense summer heat slowly subsided. Autumn came. The top 10 contestants of all the local finals gathered in the capital, and the quarter-final of the New Face Model Competition officially began.

There were 280 contestants from 19 areas participating in the quarter-final. Only the lucky top 30 guys would qualify for the national final at the end of August. The atmosphere was tense at the competition site. All the judges for the preliminary competition had arrived.

The models needed to show up twice for the preliminary competition. Once with an optional outfit, and once with a swimsuit. Their fate would be decided by their performance.

The site for the quarter-final was much larger. There were five entrances to the main T stage. This meant that there would be five models on the T stage at the same time. It would be a test for their style and, in a sense, their luck.




Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Two days later.
Shanghai.
The annual Music Awards Ceremony was held.
The stars gathered and the awards were given out one after another.
"The nominees for the Best Lyrics Award are: Chen Guang, 'A Small World'; Zhang Ye, 'Exaggerated'; Zhang Ye, 'I Really Love You'; Zhao Yunji, 'Blossom of a Dream'; Sun Tiandong, 'White Birch.' And now for the announcement of the winner for this year's Best Lyrics Award—the winner is…Zhang Ye! 'Exaggerated!'"
Applause rang out!
Everyone gave their congratulations.
"Congratulations!"
"Haha, congratulations, Director Zhang!"
"This is a good start!"
"There was no doubt that Teacher Zhang would win this award!"
"Yeah, he has written so many good songs this year."
"Yeah, if we really base it on the quality of the lyrics, it wouldn't be too much even if Zhang Ye had ten of his songs shortlisted for the Best Lyrics Award."
"For this award, Old Chen is still not a match for him."
"Zhang Ye has total dominance here."
"It's time for the song composition award."
"Let's see who wins the Best Composition Award."
Moving on.
The next award was announced.
"The nominees for the Best Composition Award are: Zhang Ye, 'I Am What I Am'; Shu Han, 'A Little Dance Tune'; Zhang Ye, 'Because of Love'; Xu Qi, 'Boundless Spring.' Now to announce the winner of this year's Best Composition Award. And the winner is…Teacher Zhang Ye! 'Because of Love!'"
There was applause!
"Wow!"
"Another one!"
"Impressive, Teacher Zhang!"
"Director Zhang, you owe us three meals now!"
"You've won both the annual lyrics and song composition awards! Only two people have achieved this in the history of the music awards!"
"Yeah, only two people have won it simultaneously!"
"Don't worry, there's still the Song of the Year Award up for grabs."
"Yeah, Zhang Ye might just become the first person in history to win all three of those awards!"
Finally, it was time to announce the Song of the Year Award.
"And the award for Song of the Year goes to—"
"Which is the first song that comes to everyone's minds?"
"Which song will it be?"
"I hereby announce that the award for Song of the Year goes to—'The King of Karaoke!'"
Applause rang out through the venue!
A lot of people even gave a standing ovation and cheered Zhang Ye!
"This song is truly good!"
"He's gotten the trifecta!"
"It's the first time that this has happened!"
"Three of the most important awards have been presented to Zhang Ye!"
"It's a pity that he did not win the Best Arrangement Award as well."
"Other than the Best Newcomer, the Best Arrangement, the Best Band, the Best Group, and some of the other awards, Zhang Ye has gotten all that he could get!"
"Zhang Ye is definitely the biggest winner tonight!"
…
The next day.
Nanjing.
The Film Awards Ceremony was held.
The Best Actor, the Best Actress, the Best Director, the Best Screenwriter, the Best Adaptation, and other film awards were given out.
All of these awards naturally had nothing to do with Zhang Ye.
…
And the day after that.
At night.
The annual Best Director Award was given out.
This was a directing awards ceremony that was independent of the film industry awards.
"The annual award for Best Variety Director goes to—Zhang Ye!"
"The annual award for Best Film Director goes to—Li Ke!"
"The annual award for Best Director goes to—Zhang! Ye!"
This announcement for the final award shocked many industry insiders!
"What?"
"The Best Director Award was given to Zhang Ye?"
"Ah?"
"That is way too surprising!"
"The darkest dark horse has won!"
"This is a top award that covers all of the other Director Awards. It's usually given out to a film director since the artistic qualities of a film definitely surpass those of the variety and TV industries. It's always been the case every year, so why was it given out to a variety director this time? This is unprecedented!"
"It wasn't given out to a variety director."
"Then what is it for?"
"The highest honor in directing was given out to the gala director!"
"You mean the Spring Festival Gala?"
"So that's how it is!"
"You've enlightened me!"
"It makes sense if that's the case! So it was presented to the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala!"
"With the heights that this year's Spring Festival Gala has reached, the presentation of this award is indeed faultless!"
…
On the same night.
At another awards ceremony that was held at the same time.
"The award for Best Dance goes to—"
"There's absolutely no suspense to who's winning this prize."
"And the winner is—'Thousand-Hand Guanyin!'"
The "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" was awarded the highest prize in the dance category!
As the choreographer and planner of this dance, Zhang Ye went up on stage to accept the award with Qi Xiaomei and a representative of the deaf-mute dance troupe.
…
Another day later.
At the venue of an awards ceremony.
"Next, we will be announcing the Outstanding Artist of the Year Award."
"And the winner is—Zhang Ye!"
…
One.
Five.
Ten.
Over several days, many awards were given out.
In this time, Zhang Ye collected so many awards that his hands went soft.
Of the many awards given out, only a few of them counted as the highest awards and would count towards the popularity score in the celebrity rankings. Most of the other awards did not contribute any points to a celebrity's popularity, like the Most Outstanding Artist of the Year, which may sound quite important, but was in fact just a prize that was given out by some local organizations rather than being some national award. Then, there were the awards like the online Most Talked About Person Award or the Most Popular Weibo Figure Award, which Zhang Ye also won, and could still be considered honorable prizes. This clearly showed the affirmation from the organizations and the people of Zhang Ye, so it didn't really matter whether it would contribute to the popularity scores or not.
All kinds of random accolades.
All kinds of mainstream prizes.
All kinds of the highest awards.
Zhang Ye had won a total of twelve of them and was ranked third among all of the celebrities to receive an award!
…
The netizens were very surprised:
"Zhang Ye is on a crazy streak!"
"Why is he winning so many awards!"
"With him winning all of those awards, can he even fit everything in his house? Hahaha!"
"Last year was a harvest for Zhang Ye, ascending to the S-list and winning all kinds of awards. There isn't anyone else who's had it more glorious than him."
"Yeah, even though Sister Zhang has garnered more prizes than Zhang Ye, most of her awards are related to the film industry. Zhang Ye wasn't even involved in any films or TV series, but if he really acted in them and didn't do too badly, he would likely get more awards than Sister Zhang."
"That ex-Heavenly King can't catch up anymore!"
"Yeah, their popularity scores have pulled apart from each other!"
"Zhang Ye has finally stabilized his position in the domestic S-list rankings!"
"It's the new year now. What do you guys think Zhang Ye will do?"
"Who knows?"
"He's already near the top in the domestic market, right?"
"Could Zhang Ye be gunning for a place in Asia next?"
"That sounds likely!"
…
On this day.
The final awards ceremony concluded.
At night, Zhang Ye drove home. The moment he opened the door to the villa, he jumped at the sight before him. The interior of the large house had been decorated and brightly lit!
Pop!
Pop!
Confetti streamed down!
A big crowd of people were applauding and screaming!
"Director Zhang!"
"Congratulations!"
"We're here to celebrate for you!"
"Let's enjoy this together!"
"Hahaha!"
"We were fantastic last year!"
Wu Zeqing stood on the side with a smile and watched everyone as they enjoyed themselves. Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, Little Wang, Tong Fu, and the other employees from the studio had all come over. All of them looked really happy.
Zhang Ye also smiled. "What's with all of this?"
Ha Qiqi said, "We're here to throw you a party, of course."
Zhang Ye said happily, "Well, thank you."
"There's also a cake." Little Wang hummed a tune as she pushed the cake over. "Director Zhang, please cut it."
Zhang Ye looked at Old Wu. "Did you arrange this?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "It has nothing to do with me. It was them who arranged this for you."
Zhang Zuo laughed and said, "You've reached the summit of the entertainment circle, yet we still haven't officially thrown a party for you. Now you've won so many awards, of which five are even the highest awards! This has helped our popularity score pull away by a large distance and there isn't a need to worry about being caught up to. We can finally celebrate in peace now."
"Let's have some cake."
"Here comes the wine."
"Come, cheers!"
"Everyone, cheers!"
It was extremely lively inside the house and everyone was very excited.
Becoming a Heavenly King!
Winning countless awards!
These were the results and harvests of Zhang Ye's past year!
Ha Qiqi, who had had a few sips of red wine, was already starting to ramble quite a bit. "Director Zhang, we've already achieved the goals that were set last year, and even completed them beyond expectations. Now that the 'Reach the Summit' plan has been realized and we're into the new year, why don't you set a new target for us? What shall we do this year? Which direction should we head in? We're at your disposal!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "This year? It's probably time to make a push in Asia?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Asia?"
"Alright!"
"We should have aimed for the Asian region long ago!"
"Compared to the popularity we've domestically, we're still quite far behind on the Asian stage."
"Yeah, we might also be on the A-list in Asia, but our ranking is very far at the bottom. Moreover, once we head out of our own country, we're actually not that well-known to others. We're actually just somewhat on par with the other Asian B-listers because a large part of the popularity score is influenced by our ranking domestically. Since our popularity score in the country is rather high, it was this that pushed us up forcefully on the Asian rankings."
"Right, there's potential for development in Asia!"
"Yes, there's a lot of potential actually."
"Alright then, it's settled!"
"We'll listen to Director Zhang for orders."
Everyone got very excited and was full of confidence like never before.
Ha Qiqi said, "What a coincidence then, Director Zhang. We've just received an invitation at the studio that we haven't had time to tell you about. An event is about to take place in Asia, and since you haven't traveled out of the country before, why don't we take this opportunity to make an appearance in Asia? We can increase our visibility, and maybe scout out some opportunities along the way?"
Zhang Ye agreed, "That sounds great."
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Alright, I'll reply to them then."
"Come! Let's make another toast!"
"Our target is the Asian S-list!"
"Alright, the target is to become an Asian Heavenly King!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
And just like this, the goal for this year was set!

After the victory, Khyaati and Vaibhavi almost ran towards Varchas with joyful faces. It was an incredible achievement not only for Varchas, Khyaati, Vaibhavi, Bhavani and other students; but the Dwarka Kingdom as a whole.
Bheesma said, "I am glad that Varchas will be rewarded by Emperor Ashoka as well as King Paarth."
King Bharat laughed and said, "I will have to reward him too. I can not be stingy now, can I?"
Chanakya announced the conclusion of the battle and the overall result. The Dwarka Kingdom which ranked 29th out of the final 30 Kingdoms and Empires in the Championship tournament for last two consecutive years had defeated Ayodhya Kingdom who constantly ranked in top 15.
"With the conclusion of this battle, we will now commence the award ceremony" Chanakya said. He then called out their names in order.
"Angad, the Winner of the first Duel will be awarded with a high grade Magical Weapon. Please receive your reward from General Samudra Gupt"
"Lakshmi, the Winner of the second Duel will be awarded with a high grade Magical Weapon. Please receive your reward from General Chandra Gupt."
"Jatayu, the Winner of the third Duel will be awarded with a high grade Magical Weapon. Please receive your reward from General Bheesma."
"Sangram, the Winner of the fourth Duel will be awarded with a high grade Magical Weapon. Please receive your reward from General Luv."
"Princess Vaibhavi, the Winner of the fifth Duel will be awarded with a high grade Magical Weapon. Please receive your reward from General Kush."
"Now for the Army battle, for their contribution as Vice Commanders of the Winning Army Unit, Princess Khyaati and Student Bhavani will be awarded a High grade Magical Weapon each. Please receive your reward from King Bharat."
"For her exceptional leadership skills and contribution as the Commander of the Winning Army Unit, Princess Vaibhavi will be awarded with a highest grade Magical Weapon. Please receive your reward from King Paarth."
The mention of a 'Highest Grade Magical Weapon' sent the crowd in frenzy. The awardees went up to the stage and collected their respective prizes.
Chanakya continued, "And finally, for his contribution as the Chief Strategist, Chief Planner and Chief Trainer of the Winning Army Unit, Principal of the National Academy of Magic, Martial Arts and Military Warfare and Second Prince of the Royal Family of the Dwarka Kingdom, Varchawa is being awarded with a low grade Divine Weapon. Please collect your reward from Emperor Ashoka."
This announcement surprised many including Varchaswa himself. Others weren't aware of the conversation between the Emperor and the Kings and the Emperor's promise to award Varchaswa with a low grade Divine Weapon should he win, given the odds against him.
He went up and received he Award.
Emperor Ashoka said, "Your outstanding performance had made all of us ecstatic. It is indeed a boon for the Sub-continent to have talents like you. If you have any other wish that I can grant, feel free to ask."
"Your Majesty, I indeed have a request that I wish will be granted by you and King Bharat." Varchaswa said confidently.
"And what is that?" Emperor Ashoka inquired.
"I wish to establish a student exchange program with your respective Royal Universities." Varchaswa
"Student Exchange Program? Explain yourself." King Bharat interjected.
"A select group of students from our academy will study at the Royal Universities of the Mauryan Empire and Ayodhya Kingdom for a fixed period of time. Similarly, students of the Royal Universities will study in our Academy as the same time. It is an exchange of students to foster friendship and learning. The number of students and the duration of exchange can be decided with mutual discussion." Varchaswa replied politely.
"I agree to grant your request." Emperor Ashoka said happily.
"I too agree" said King Bharat.
"In that case, you may request one thing from me too" said King Paarth.
"In fact, I do have a request for you as well father. Now that I have succeeded in winning the Practice Match, I should be recognized as the official Principal. Hence, I officially request to change the name of the National Academy of Magic, Military Arts and Military Warfare. It is too long, inconvenient and a bit embarrassing." Varchas stated his opinion boldly. Laughter broke out in the Colosseum.
The Generals, the Prime Ministers, the Kings and the Emperor were laughing too.
"Fine. But what should we name it?" asked King Paarth.
"That I will tell you later. We will choose a name which is approved by the students as well as the Royal Court."
"Fine" said King Paarth.
"Now that everything is over, Varchaswa, you need to satisfy a request of mine as well." Emperor Ashoka declared.
Varchaswa had a bad feeling about this. He replied, "If it is my capabilities, I would try my best to fulfil any request from Your Majesty"
"Good. Everyone will agree that many of us, want to see your personal combat strength. You have already demonstrated your ability as a strategist, trainer and commander. It is time for you to demonstrate your combat skills specifically your legendary lightning awakening." Emperor Ashoka declared, giving Varchaswa no chance to back out.
He continued, "However, your opponent has to be of certain level as well. Chanakya will explain the rest."
Chanakya immediately started explaining. His voice was audible to all the viewers. He said, "First let me explain the concept of awakening. Every person in the Central Continent Awakens to a power of nature when he or she turns 16. This is called Awakening. 
There are 4 types of Awakening – Basic or Elementary, Heroic, Legendary and Mythical. Legendary Awakenings are rare. Mythical are practically non-existent in the present era. That is why legendary awakenings are so highly sought after.
For example, one can awaken the lightning element with the elementary or heroic awakening. Thus there are many people with the ability to use the power of lightning. However, their abilities are limited by their levels. Legendary awakenings are powerful.
So, for fairness, Varchaswa will have to battle two contestants one after another. First is the fifth Prince of the Mauryan Empire Kunal. He awakened the Heroic Wood Element. Wood is known to resist electricity so he has been chosen.
Second contestant is an honored guest for today- Vinayak the third Prince of the Vijay Nagar Empire, the one who awakened the Earth Element. Earth is also supposed to resist lightning."
At this declaration the crowd almost went crazy.
"What a headache!" Varchas thought inwardly. He wanted to keep his powers and abilities secret. The good thing was the Sun had almost set and night was setting in. Due to the blessing of Soma, the Moon deity, his powers will be amplified in the late evening and night. 
Varchaswa then stepped on to the arena for battle.
Varchaswa and Kunal greeted each other. It was pre-decided that weapons only up to High Grade Magical Weapons were allowed. Highest Grade Magical Weapon and Divine Weapons were unsuitable for Practice Duels. 
To everyone's surprise, Varchas used a Bow and displayed his excellent Archery skills. People were then reminded that he had defeated Dhanu, nicknamed 'The Archery Goddess'. He literally won over the battle without using the lightning element. The wood magic of Kunal stood no chance against the might of Varchaswa's Archery!
The crowd went wild once again! This performance was beyond their expectations.
This was followed by the duel with Vinayak. He was a proud Magic Swordsman of the Vijay Nagar Empire. He used Earth Magic for defense as well as attack.
Varchas secretly used his 'Heroic Thunder Awakening'. He used sound frequencies inaudible for humans, and shattered the stones and rocks created by Magic. Not only Vinayak, even other experts including the Emperor, the Kings, the Generals and the Prime Ministers couldn't understand.
Varchaswa won the second battle without much effort as well. The crowd started chanting his name and cheering him up. The students and citizens of Dwarka Kingdom were feeling proud.
At this moment, when everyone was happily cheering, the colosseum started getting covered with Black Smoke.
