Saying that Shang was surprised would be an understatement.

He knew that Teacher Mervin was powerful, but he hadn't known that he was this powerful!

Teacher Mervin could actually reach the True Path Stage if he so chose to!

"Then, why are you a Late Commander Stage warrior?" Shang asked in shock.

Teacher Mervin chuckled a bit. "Didn't you already find out the reason why?"

Shang was confused for a second, but then he realized.

"You don't want to only fight warriors," Shang said.

"Correct," Teacher Mervin said with a nod. "When I was 123 years old, I found my Path. I realized my goal, and after decades of training, I finally unlocked the ability to beat any warrior comparable to me in level."

"It has always been my goal to be the most powerful warrior. After all, I am a warrior, and just like any other warrior, I want to be the best."

"But when I reached my goal, I realized something."

"There was so much more in the world."

"High Mages could fly without a Spell."

"I wanted to fly."

"Zone Beasts could do whatever they want."

"I want to do whatever I want."

"And, even more, many Kings in the past vanished without a trace. They didn't die, but they simply vanished."

"I'm pretty sure that there is a wider world beyond the Abyss, and they probably went there."

"I want to go there."

Then, Teacher Mervin sighed.

"However, I have already achieved my goal."

"I was the most powerful warrior."

"Yet, I couldn't do any of these other things."

"Achieving my goal felt empty after realizing all of these things."

"That's when I realized that I chose the wrong goal."
