Sword God in a World of Magic

The student tried to talk to Shang some more, but Shang only gave short and concise answers.

Luckily, the awkwardness was alleviated as another three students arrived.

The student quickly fell into a conversation with the other three, who then also said thanks to Shang for his sacrifice.

Shang felt quite awkward right now.

Now that all the students were present, Shang could also feel the average Battle-Strength of these students.

In Shang's opinion, they were quite powerful.

If this were inside the trial, these four would probably count as "powerful Initial General Stage warriors", excluding their procedure.

Even more, from what Shang had heard from these students, one of them didn't even have a warrior's body.

This was groundbreaking news!

This meant that the procedure could now be applied to a much greater range of warriors.

No wonder Duke Whirlwind and the Dean wanted to go public with the procedure. If they got the go-ahead from King Skythunder, they could roll out the procedure on a massive scale.

By listening to the students, Shang also learned that the passive regeneration was also present in them, but to a weaker degree. While Shang would need about 30 seconds to fully heal his body without any Mana, they needed around 90 seconds.

A couple of minutes later, the last two people arrived.

"Dean, Duke Whirlwind," teacher Loran said from in front of the gate to the last two people.

"Loran, it's been a while since I've seen you. How have things been?" Duke Whirlwind asked with a polite smile.

"Everything is going very well. Thank you for asking, Duke Whirlwind," teacher Loran said with a polite bow.
