1, 2, plop
1, plop
1, 2-no that was a plop.
The disciples had concocted a most devious scheme beforehand, and hoarded all rocks of proper saucer form. Whilst they were hitting 6 and even 10 in the truly gifted cases, he was limited to no more than 2.
Maybe it was jealousy, maybe it was his secret request to allow him to demonstrate the difference between heaven and earth, or maybe sectmaster Huáng had put them up to such a scheme to give his disciple the push needed to grow.
The Shennong had grabbed a large stone, and crushed it in his hands out of frustration. But then he noticed that it had taken the shape of his clenched fist. An ugly, huge thing. For what one sows, one reaps.
He proceeded to flick off the ridges showing his hairs and veins, and ended up with the perfect claw to dig out the sand with.
And it hit him. A mis-throw of a rock by one of the younger sect disciples struck him square to the side of his head, followed by the disciple kowtowing and begging to be spared. And with the strike, an idea.
The Shennong held a large rock in one hand, showing it to all disciples with eyes.
With the accuracy of the venerable Tsss upon seeing an unstabbed individual, he proceeded to clap his second hand on the first. Eardrums burst, an avalanche was triggered nearby, and all birds in the area fled in fear.
He removed his hand, and unveiled a perfect disk of stone, with such perfection in its flatness, smoothness, and roundness, the ringleader of the rock hoarding had his nose burst with blood from envy.
The Shennong held the disk stone aloft, and then proceeded to fling it towards the water with but a fraction of his might.

A year would pass, and it is said the inhabitants of the Darkwood
>>6303161 would see a most disconcerting sight, of an unyielding wave of water following a white-hot trail of a water-skipping meteor, further confirmed by the beast's Marines as it passed to their southeast.
It is further said that when the mythical Arktikana, to this day, carries the rock embedded on its body.
