Sword God in a World of Magic
Chapter 71
"Yes," Shang answered as he slowly stood up.
Shang had always wanted an evaluation from a neutral party. After all, he could evaluate himself only to a certain degree.
And on top of that, Shang had already been given some feedback just now.
His headwound was proof of that.
'I didn't notice such a huge vase coming towards my head. Now that I think back, I can remember hearing the column shake, but I simply filtered it out as irrelevant information.'
'I guess that's the Vice-Dean's way of showing me that I ignored my surroundings. I can get why that is a bad habit on a battlefield.'
"Alright," Soran said as he sat back down in his chair. "Then, let's talk about your sword techniques first. Mervin?" Soran asked as he looked at the older man beside him.

Shang was waiting for more, but nothing more came. "Could you elaborate?" Shang asked.
"Your movements are fast, but that's it," Mervin answered. "You plan your next strike very well, and you unleash your strike with quite some speed, but there is no after. You fight like you only think about the current strike and not the one after that or the one after that."

"Lastly, your only goal in attacking your opponent is to kill them. However, that is the end goal, and it can't always be achieved with one strike. Oftentimes, you have to achieve multiple subgoals in order to finally take your enemy's life."
