Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang almost couldn't wrap his mind around the words he had just heard.

Was the dean also someone from Earth?

Shang had thought that he was the only one!

"Surprised?" the dean asked as he looked at Shang with an even expression.

However, Shang's expression only changed into confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Shang asked.

When Shang said that, the atmosphere in the room took a monumental turn. It was like the temperature had dropped by several degrees.

"I don't have time for these games," the dean directly said. "Gleipnir is only teaching your sword because I allowed it to. I can also order it to consume your sword."

Shang took a deep breath as he looked over. The spear hadn't changed, but it felt far more dangerous now.

"How can I believe you?" Shang asked with an aggressive tone to mask his fear. "What if this isn't an illusion, and you are trying to get me to divulge information?"

The dean's eyes narrowed. "And what if that were the case?" he asked with annoyance. "You've seen my secret, and you would die regardless. Might as well tell me more about that God you encountered so that I can more easily seek my death by knowing too much."

"Additionally, do you actually believe that someone on my level can glean such high-level information from your mind? Do you honestly believe the God didn't put up any defenses?"

Shang didn't like hearing that his life was not under his own control, but he had to admit that the dean was right.

Eventually, Shang took a deep breath as he looked into the dean's eyes.
