Sword God in a World of Magic

Jerald dumped six additional boulders beside Shang, shocking him quite a bit.

When Jerald had asked if Shang knew how much ore he would get for the corpses, his concerns hadn't been for nothing.

That was a lot of ore!

Shang put all the ore into his inner world and talked a bit longer with Jerald.

Then, he left for the Caves. His armor would need another two weeks to be completed.

The next two weeks, nothing of note happened, and Shang got his armor. It looked just like the last one and was even a bit better. Now, it could block two Spells of an Early High Mage, which was better than being able to block three Spells from an Initial High Mage.

Thus, another long period of isolated training commenced.

About four years later, some piece of interesting news came to Shang.

George had advanced to the True Path Stage again, and this time, his Path was very good!

It was about as good as Mervin's, which was incredible!

Additionally, George had undergone the Bloodline Infusion compared to Mervin.

By now, a couple of warriors had already managed to reach the Early True Path Stage, and Mervin had also already reached that level. However, with George being back at the True Path Stage, his powerful Path, and his powerful body, he had regained the title of most powerful warrior in the world.

Obviously, George had also used the barbarian strengthening technique, which meant that his body was as powerful as it could get.

With George's incredible talent and experience, he was certain that he was more powerful than the average Initial High Mage.

George also tried hunting True Path Stage beasts, and his power proved to be incredible. It wasn't very hard for him to kill a True Path Stage beast.

Compared to the time George had been helpless against the Exploding Mountain Turtle, George was now much more powerful.

Even though he was one level lower than he had been back then, George was now vastly more powerful than back then.

George even fought an Early True Path Stage beast, and even though he didn't manage to kill it, he forced it to run away.

At the Early True Path Stage, Mervin only managed to equally fight an Initial True Path Stage beast due to the weakness of his body, which demonstrated the difference between him and George now.

After George tested his power for a couple more months, he went to Shang.

And he challenged him to a duel.

The two of them fought.
