Chapter 21 - Tournament (2)

Shen sat down and watched the fights that came after his own and felt himself questioning how he was gonna beat a wood cultivator if he had to go against one today since he didn't have much in the way of techniques much less techniques that could make up for his disadvantage in cultivation element or even his cultivation level should he have to fight under either of those conditions. In the end Shen decided he would try to rely on his sheer physical strength in those fights. After watching many fights Shen was finally called upon to fight once again this time he faced a green eyed disciple in an orange version of what Shen wore "Another Fire clan disciple? well I hope you can do better than your fellow disciple did" "Believe me I'll definitely leave more than just a scratch on you" the green disciple stated loudly. In the following silence upon the stage the first to use a technique was the green eyed disciple as he slapped his palms against his chest and radiated a wave of heat as he sped up his movements and began to raise the temperature around himself to a high degree and challenging Shen to come closer and bear the heat. Shen instantly felt disadvantaged since he really couldn't get very close to the green eyed disciple at the moment so finally he circulated his energy around himself and forced himself into the scorching heat radiating from the green eyed disciples strange technique. The green eyed disciple grinned as soon as Shen moved closer to him and began to use a different technique allowing his first to simply burn away at the air for a short while longer he then pushed out a fist and allowed a second wave of heat to slam against Shen who was already struggling against the first techniques high temperature. Shen tore the axe off his back and slammed it into the ground using his first skill and coursing lightning along the ground causing the green eyed disciple to feel his legs go numb and lost his balance he was so confident that Shen would be unable to do anything in the high temperatures because he didn't train in the fire element yet Shen actually managed to knock him off of his feet. Shen however was not doing very well in actuality he was sweating profusely and felt his throat begin to dry up and slightly close almost choking him. Shen was desperately trying to end this as fast as possible but when he landed his axe strike on his opponents forearm he instantly made a dark expression... this green eyed disciple was a body cultivator just like him but his techniques were effective against those that had not trained in fire giving him a very strong advantage in this tournament Shen considered grappling this opponent as he had done to practically every other opponent hes had so far and decided against it believing he'd only burn his hands. Shen's breaths were getting shaky as he had been using a lot of his energy to form a thin barrier around his body in a loose manner expending much of it to no avail. Finally he decided to put his faith in one last attack or surrender here as his body could not cope with this heat for much longer. He raised his hands in front of him and a gave a roar but with his nearly dried out throat the sound was hoarse and weak sounding as he poured all of lightning energy out of the tips of his fingers as if each one was a tesla coil they fired small bolts of continuous lightning out towards the green eyed disciple who yelped when he saw this as the countless small bolts of lightning snaked across the green eyed disciples body and numbed his every muscle whilst bridging the gap between them he thought only of how close he had come to victory before passing put from the pain and rewarding Shen in another victory though hard fought and leaving him drained of energy he shuffled off the platform and stumbled his way back to his seat incapable of fighting again today and in dire need of rest.
