Shang continued training inside the Caves.

For multiple years, Shang had seemingly vanished from the face of the world.

People knew about the mysterious Count Sword, but nearly all of them had never seen him.

Some of the people even doubted that Count Sword actually existed. After all, someone must have seen him somewhere, right?

However, deep in the Caves, Shang was training hard every single day.

He only focused on his own power, nothing else.

And his progress was astounding.

When Shang had just reached the Peak Commander Stage, he would have had a shot at killing an average Initial High Mage.

But now, Shang could even fight an Early High Mage, probably.

Shang's physical power had not increased in any way. His increase in power was all due to his diligent training in his Path.

As Shang continued training, George's Spear kept following him. It didn't help or come close, but it stayed in the same general vicinity of Shang.

Shang guessed that he and Sword were the closest people to George's Spear, which was why it was following them.

A couple of months passed.

One day, George's Spear approached Shang of its own volition.

Shang was a bit surprised since the spear had never initiated a conversation before.

Sword left Shang's hands and floated over to the spear, touching it.

"It is asking why you are not making use of your Affinities," Sword told Shang.

"Because I want to train in my swordsmanship," Shang answered, looking at the spear. "Right now, I am forging my Path, and I only use my Affinities in a genuine fight. If I used all my abilities the entire time, my opponents wouldn't be able to live for long."

George's Spear didn't move.

"It says that this was not what it meant," Sword said.

Shang raised an eyebrow.
