Chapter 4 - Weapon of choice

Shen had been cultivating instead of sleeping however he didn't feel tired in the slightest instead he felt as though his muscles were never more compact and steeled. He walked towards the pavilions and recounted the sensation of using one of the venom sacks whilst cultivating. He remembered the jolts of lightning rushing over him and toughening his flesh and muscles at an alarming rate whilst also aiding his comprehension. Shen was reminiscing about using resources for the first time when he finally noticed he had actually reached the pavilion and when he arrived here he decided that he would keep as many of his resources as possible, he then decided that he would buy a cheap weapon today.

Shen stepped towards the weapons pavilion quickly and wondered which weapon he should use since he was a body cultivator. He considered Great swords, Battle axes, Clubs, Maces, And War Hammers of these he decided to start with an Axe because it may not be an elegant weapon but it is a weapon he felt would suit him. With his decision made he entered the weapons pavilion and looked towards the axes and saw one that was barely within his price range of 200 contribution points and decided to buy it.

The weapon had a snarling wolf engraved into its head facing towards it's tempered and only edge as though the wolf still longed for battle and the life or death thrill that came with it. He admired the axe and then put it over his shoulder as he decided to go to the practice field and get used to it's weight. Shen arrived to see that most had chosen sword, spear, or even bow. Disregarding that he was one of only a few using an Axe he continued on to the field and began to swing the axe in a clumsy sort of movement however it wasn't because of how heavy it was it was actually because of his lack of experience using one after awhile he figured out a simple and effective way to swing it. Whilst he was practicing he noticed that other disciples were glancing over at him however he noticed that he wasn't the only one getting these looks, Infact the other axe wielding disciples were getting the same treatment.

Eventually he was tired of swinging around his axe and began to walk back towards his quarters when someone called out to him "Hey muscle head wait up!" Said someone in a way that only irritated Shen "What do you want?" Shen replied quickly "What do I want? Shouldn't it be obvious?" Said a male disciple with an average build, Black Hair, Green eyes, and smirk "I want to fight you" He said Shen was surprised but not enough to make him mess up "I'm only at the first level of the ascending realm so I have no techniques and am not worth fighting if you want to test your skills" replied Shen "That's-" "However give me 1 week and I'll fight you" Shen cut him off to say "oh so-" "and before you start saying things no one cares for I'm willing to accept your battle only if you keep this battle between just you and me, involving others would just be another reason for me to consider you pathetic" Shen interrupted again "Not only are you calling me shameless but you dare to look down on me?" said the Dark haired disciple with venom in his voice "I'm sorry did I strike a nerve?" Shen asked sarcastically "You've a better chance to strike a nerve of mine than you do to ever strike me with that clumsy axe of yours" "Oh really? well if I can strike a nerve in one sentence I'd hope for your safety it takes me more than one swing of my axe to strike you" Shen responded in a taunting voice " You who is 1st level trash dares to offend me? ME!? I reached the 3rd level a week ago and by next week I should be at the 4th level! I'll have you choking on your own words in the arena and just so you know who it is that will be the reason for your first lost fight as a cultivator that would be Bei Luo" He spoke with an indignant tone. Bei Lou then turned and walked off clearly agitated at the amount of disrespect he had just faced. Shen turned quietly towards his quarters and decided that he would take another task tomorrow so that he may have enough contribution points so that he may buy a low level Axe Technique.
