The Azure Cleave Dojo's main core philosophy was simple.
Strike once, if it fails, retreat or die.
Master Shen hated prolonged fight. He was an individual, who would rather retreat and utilized his beast pets to seek a chance to end a battle in one decisive strike.
Other dojos hated Azure Cleave Dojo for it. They ridiculed their disciples as cowards and called their martial arts "mosquito."
However, every disciple knew that they were fighting against beasts tide, not another human being.
The tradition to fight against other dojo was a learning experience, not to prove that they were better.
Other outer disciples, after beginning to understand the core philosophy, came up a better idea to execute it efficiently.
Worked together and attacked at the same time in different direction.
Utilizing the Mist-Splitting Line, a five outer disciple attacking a single outer disciple, even if latter ranked ten ladders ahead of them, they would definitely immobilized him.
