Sword God in a World of Magic

Right now, it was in the middle of the night. The ploy to kill the officer had begun at nightfall, and just a couple of hours had passed since then.

Shang walked over to the side gate since the main gates were closed during the night.

"Space Ring," the guard said with boredom.

Shang put his Space Ring on the table.

After that, the guard took out a crystal and moved it all over Shang's body.

This crystal was a smaller version of the bigger crystals above the gate. The big crystals had the ability to penetrate a Space Ring's defense and scan the insides, but the smaller one didn't.

However, it could see if someone wore a Space Ring or not.

This crystal was basically there to stop people from smuggling any illegal goods into the city.

The crystal didn't show any alarm, and the guard put it away.

Then, the guard looked through the Space Ring.

There was just some random stuff in there. Nothing special.

The guard handed it back to Shang and opened the side gate for him.

Shang nodded and entered the city.

Just like the first time Shang had arrived in Warrior's Paradise, it was deathly silent.

Shang immediately went to the main square and then to the academy.

In front of the academy gates, Shang saw a sleeping, middle-aged man.

'Isn't that a familiar image?' Shang thought as he looked at teacher Loran.

Shang ignored teacher Loran and went to the gate.

"Wait a second," teacher Loran said as he suddenly opened his eyes.

Shang didn't look at him.

"I don't know you," teacher Loran said. "Who are you?"

Shang deepened his voice. "My identity doesn't concern you."

Right now, basically everything regarding Shang was a secret, even in the academy.

The last time anyone had seen Shang had been about a year ago, during the Day of Chaos.
