Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next several years, Shang traveled from one dangerous location to the next, always fighting powerful beasts.

There were so many beasts Shang had never fought against, and he felt his Battle-Strength become more and more powerful.

Eventually, Shang went through every single Zone that the Storm Kingdom owned.

During all this time, Shang always flew through the air at a very high altitude to avoid being seen by others, and he always only trained in locations where no one else was.

It wasn't that Shang was afraid of being seen by others. Shang simply didn't want to get taken out of his training mindset by having a conversation with someone.

Shang finally had time to fully work on his power, and he wouldn't allow anyone to interfere in his training.

After Shang had gone through every single Zone, he decided to do the same thing again while fighting Mid True Path Stage beasts.

Those beasts were already quite powerful, and Shang couldn't fight them without actually using his Elemental powers.

The fights became more stressful, and Shang had to react even quicker than before, making it even harder to perform his attacks perfectly.

Like a machine, Shang went from Zone to Zone to battle all the powerful beasts.

He was no longer seeing his surroundings.

He only saw himself, his power, and his next training dummy.

Everything had turned into a routine, and Shang was barely even conscious while fighting.

It was like his body was completely moving on its own.

Over many years, some people managed to take a glimpse of Shang from afar, but they weren't sure who that was.

Weren't nearly all the True Path Stage warriors at the frontlines?

Was there actually a True Path Stage warrior inside the Storm Kingdom that wasn't involved in the war?

After a while, most people started to doubt when someone told them that they had seen a True Path Stage warrior.

It was common knowledge that the True Path Stage warriors were all stationed at the frontlines.

They must have just been confused.

He didn't know how long it took, but Shang eventually returned to the Caves.

His attacks had become perfect yet again.
