Shen awoke in his bed and was confused for a few seconds until he remembered that he had moved out of his village and taken his place among the first stage of the world and was now a disciple of the lightning clan. Shen stepped out of his bed and then tried to worm his way through the group of people that had to share this one room until finally he reached the door and stepped out.
He looked around picked a direction and then just started walking and wandering the clan grounds he walked past a public training grounds next to an arena where all battles between disciples were to be held, Battles outside of the arenas would be considered a violation of the clans rules and would result in the disciplinary force of the clan involving itself and then neither disciple would be a winner.
Shen walked for another 15 minutes and arrived at the shopping pavilions he noticed that they were all set up around a circular plaza built around a statue of the founders of the clan. "I have no contribution points at the moment but it couldn't hurt to see the prices of the better cultivation techniques that are available to me" Shen said then he remembered that the clan provided every one of the disciples the chance to get one technique for free although they could only choose to get their free technique from the three most basic selections that the clan had to offer.
He stepped inside and saw that their was a small crowd gathering around the cultivation techniques and so he rushed over and started shoving his way towards the front of the crowd to attempt to get his hands on one of the copies of the "Complete lightning Body" cultivation technique because he wanted to start as a body cultivator because he saw that it was one of the less commonly practiced techniques that the clan had to offer. As Shen was picking up this technique he noticed others gave him a quick glance and then continued pushing towards their choice of either the "Lightning lords speed" technique or the "300 Bolts of Lightning" technique.
Shen walked with his head high and his first big decision in his hands as he walked to a quiet plaza that he had passed by earlier whilst looking for the pavilions. When Shen arrived he noticed that others were already here however he still chose to practice the first level of his technique here. He read through the instructions of how the technique wanted him to guide the yuan energies of the world through his meridians and did as he had read.
Sitting down and feeling the energy rush into his pores and strengthen his flesh, bones, and muscles. The technique was slow yet the feeling he had whilst using it was a sure and strong feeling that he had chosen correctly. After he was done cultivating for his first day he stood up and right as he was about to walk back to his quarters he was stopped by a girl who smiled to him and said "I noticed you yesterday at the paths and you seemed so sure of yourself that I just had to ask how you didn't spend so long trying to figure out which path you wanted to take you walked straight towards this path." Shen looked at her and smiled "I spent a lot of time imagining my path and had long decided that I'd take the path of lightning and I decided to take the path of body strengthening since it would build me the best foundation for my future" Shen said "oh you have a path planned out?" "I don't have my full path planned out I had only planned out my first realm" Shen admitted as he and this girl walked towards the outer disciples quarters "my name is Ren by the way" "Mine is shen, and by the way I wouldn't mind speaking to you again tomorrow" Ren blushed and rushed off to her quarters while Shen turned towards his own and sighed as he began to push his way to his bed.
