Sword God in a World of Magic

After the explanation, the group began their journey back to the Storm Eagle Zone.

Right now, it was later in the noon, but it wasn't afternoon yet.

As everyone ran back with the Blessing of Wind, Shang thought about something else.

'The Barbarians can strengthen their bodies above what a normal warrior can achieve,' Shang thought. 'Without the Procedure, the Barbarian path and warrior path are about equal, I would say. Teacher is an impressively powerful and talented warrior, and it should be normal for him to jump a level against an inexperienced Barbarian.'

'The Grandmountain Kingdom probably also has very talented Barbarians, and the most powerful of them can probably also fight teacher equally. Well, as long as they are on the same level as him.'

'One focuses on the body while the other focuses on finesse and technique.'

'I wonder, can I make use of the Barbarian techniques to push my body even further? King Skythunder said that the Bloodline Infusion fits the Barbarian path more than the warrior path.'

'So, what if I could use the Barbarian techniques to strengthen my body? Would I be able to get a body as powerful as a pure beast?'

Shang thought about this for a moment.

'Maybe not perfectly, but I believe I could get very close.'

Then, Shang narrowed his eyes. 'However, it probably isn't that easy. If it were that easy to advance as a Barbarian, they would have already created someone at the True Path Stage. Obviously, there are also issues with their advancement.'

'On top of that, since they are part of a Kingdom, the Barbarians are also probably just servants of Mages. If the Barbarians were the leaders of the Grandmountain Kingdom, the Skythunder Kingdom would have long since claimed their territory as their own.'

'If I get an opportunity, I should see if I can get my hands on how Barbarians fight. It is a separate path, but I don't need to fully master it to get some use out of it. Just a little bit should be enough to increase my power by quite a bit.'

Some minutes later, the group arrived at the border of the Thunder Horse Zone. The group of Mages was still there.

They didn't say anything as the group of warriors passed.

The only thing the warriors noticed was the aura of hostility directed at them.

As Shang saw the group of Mages, he had a thought. 'The most dangerous part is over, but the Council will probably try some tricks to get rid of us in the future. We are still not completely safe.'

Then, Shang took a deep breath. 'But for now, this isn't my issue. I don't have the power to fight something as powerful as the Council.'

'Additionally…'

Shang's mind went back to the Poison Adept and the bloodied face.

'I have my own worries right now.'

Some minutes later, the group arrived at Spark Oasis again.

Luckily, the Thunder Horse wasn't inside the city right now, and everyone could pass through it without any issues.

The journey continued uninterrupted, and the group of warriors reached the Adamantite Behemoth Zone.

Once more, Shang had to take a deep breath as he saw the gigantic horn in the middle of the Adamantite Behemoth Zone.
