Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang's new memories swept through his mind in an instant, and he opened his right eye again.

'Once again, I'm glad that I didn't ask a stupid question, even though I was so young back then. It's a nice feeling to have a younger version of yourself help you far in the future. I just hope the questions stay relevant.'

'I should keep that habit alive. Right now, many things feel impossible. For example, I still don't know how I can combine all the different kinds of attacks into one cohesive battle style. I do have all the attacks, but they are distributed over four different weapons, and I can only use one of them at a time.'

'I simply trust in my future self to make these things possible. Right now, I have the opportunity to create a foundation for my future self. In the future, I will be grateful for my mindfulness in the past, which is currently the present.'

'Try out new things and find a way to elevate my being, huh?'

Shang scratched his chin as he mulled over these words for a while.

'I have some ideas, but I have no way of knowing if they are actually realistic or not. However, I shouldn't be too worried about these things right now. I just reached the True Path Stage, and I need to get used to this level first. Finding a way forward at this point would be inefficient since I lack the necessary experience right now.'

'For now, I need to keep my Battle-Strength high. To keep my Battle-Strength high, I need to know a lot of things, and knowing a lot of things means gaining experience, which will help me to advance in the future.'

'My future progression will be built on what I decide to do in the True Path Stage.'

'Never tire.'

'Never stop trying.'

'Always go forward.'

'My future self will thank me for it.'

Shang nodded once and stood up.

It was time to test his power.

"Finally done?"

Shang immediately became startled and jumped to the side.
