Sword God in a World of Magic

After the jester left, Shang only remained standing, thinking about his future path.

There was a lot to do.

First, he needed to comprehend the Concept of Addition.

Then, he needed to comprehend the Concept of Subtraction.

After that, he would need to create two incredibly powerful and strong Imposes.

And lastly, he would need to integrate everything.

It was a lot to do, but Shang had known from the very beginning that this wouldn't be easy.

'Luckily, I don't need to do these things one at a time. They will not strengthen my body or help in any way during the small advancements. This is more of a do-everything-at-once thing.'

'These are the four components I need, and after gaining them, I can attempt a breakthrough.'

'But first, I should advance to the Early Fusion Realm to strengthen my mind. The stronger my mind, the easier it will be to comprehend the two Concepts I need.'

'I still have several days left before I should return to the real world. I think I should use these days to become familiar with my second sword.'

'First, become familiar with my second sword. Second, reach the Early Fusion Realm. Third, try to comprehend the Concept of Addition while absorbing Abominations during missions.'

Shang nodded once and took hold of both of his swords.

A second later, the Long Sword vanished.

Shang had put it into his Space Ring. His Space Ring was easier to access than his inner world, allowing for faster swapping of weapons.

SHING! SHING!

Shang swapped out his swords and moved Shock several times before swapping back to his Colossal Sword.

It felt unnatural.
