Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang kept training, but eventually, he consumed all the Grade Five Mind Flow Pellets he had bought.

However, they had already shown quite a good effect, and Shang had gained plenty of inspiration.

He was not only focusing on comprehending the Concept of Addition but also on how to apply it to his fighting style.

After using up all of the Mind Flow Pellets, Shang also summoned some beasts to fight against. He didn't want to fight them while being under the effects of the Mind Flow Pellet since it made it harder for him to focus.

Shang wasn't training against anything too difficult. He was mostly summoning powerful Mid Archbeasts, which were just one level above him.

Every couple of days, Shang would return to his real body and check in on things.

Just as expected, he was still just sitting near the Yellow Sunbreaker.

Well, to be honest, it would be quite surprising if anything happened to Shang here. After all, a Mage Lord was literally not even a kilometer away from him.

One day, while Shang checked on his real body, someone contacted him.

"Come back to the branch," the Keeper transmitted to Shang. "The Yellow Sunbreaker needs to feed every decade, and we are already pushing it. If I don't allow it to consume a beast, it might become interested in you."

Shang nodded and stood up.

Then, he walked back to the branch.

"There is something else," the Keeper transmitted. "A very interesting mission might appear soon, and it pays very well. You are the best choice for the job, and for your sake, I would advise you to be ready for it."

Shang wasn't quite sure about this.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind accepting such a mission. If this mission really paid that well, it would be a huge waste not to accept it. After all, Shang could more than make up for the lost time by consuming Mind Flow Pellets.

However, there were two suspicious things.
