Travel

Chu Shen went into the Majestic Sword Academy with his mother. Master Lang heard, and came out to greet them. “Ah, disciple. You’ve decided to return. So, what have you decided to do about the Blazing Tiger Sect?”

Chu Shen shook his head. “The Blazing Tiger Sect is no more. I killed the sect master and their ancestor. Their elders are gone, too. Quite frankly, I doubt they will survive past a week.”

Master Lang was shocked, and couldn’t think of anything to say. Finally, he rubbed his neck. “I am sorry I couldn’t be there to support you, Chu Shen. It makes me feel as though I didn’t do much as a master.”

Chu Shen shook his head. “No. You helped forge my character, both you and dad. No matter what, I look at you as I would have with him.”

Master Lang nodded sadly. “I miss him, Chu Shen, I really do. He was like a brother to me.”

Chu Shen smiled. “I know.”

For the next week, Chu Shen rested and recovered. He spent time with his mother. It felt great to relax, especially since he didn’t have the threat of his mom being kidnapped dangling over his head.

Cultivating non-stop was too stressful on the mind. Taking a break every now and then wasn’t detrimental to training, it was actually quite beneficial. One must reward hard work properly, and Chu Shen had certainly worked hard.

Eventually, Chu Shen had to return back to his training regime. At the end of the week, he called out Master Ti Wu to ask him about the next phase of training.

“Master Ti Wu, are you there?” Chu Shen whispered into the gauntlet on his arm. His soul form slowly floated out of the Voids Hand.

“What is it, brat? I was taking a nice nap in here.”

Chu Shen bowed. “Apologies, master. I’m ready to start my training back up again. What should I do first?”

Master Ti Wu shook his head. “No.”

Chu Shen was stunned. “What do you mean, no?”

Master Ti Wu sighed. “Did you forget? I wanted you to scout out the Five Heavenly Mountain Sect when you got back.”

Chu Shen smiled sheepishly. “Yeah, I kinda forgot all about that.”

Master Ti Wu slapped Chu Shen upside the head. “Ungrateful brat! Remember your commitments clearer next time. Anyway, I’ll modify one of the charms that are on your Chains of Transportation. I’ll modify the one that takes you to the Majestic Sword Academy.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Alright. By the way, why did you choose that charm?”

Master Ti Wu sighed. “Stupid as always, brat. It’s because you can just walk outside and make another one. I would recommend it actually, since you need a way to get back.”
