Mistra gestured for Shang to come over, and Shang wordlessly walked up to her.

All the warriors with their friends and families were gone, making the previously crowded area seem quite desolate.

"Name?"

"Shang Sword," Shang said.

"You're still using that last name?" Mistra asked with a raised eyebrow.

Obviously, Mistra knew a lot more about Shang than about all the other warriors.

"I didn't have a last name previously. Might as well use it," Shang said evenly.

"Why did you kill one of the Assistant Supervisors from Area 23?" Mistra asked neutrally.

"Personal reasons," Shang answered.

"Those being?" she asked.

"They're not of your concern."

Mistra raised an eyebrow at Shang's very rude tone. "They are of my concern. I need to verify where your loyalties lie."

Shang snorted. "What is loyalty worth when you are one of the nine strongest powers in the world? Even if I wanted to rebel, I would never reach the Eighth Realm without the help of an Empire. So, what's the point?"

Mistra had expected Shang to be a bit different from the other warriors, but she hadn't expected him to be this cold to her.

Wasn't he in the least intimidated by her? If she wanted, she could turn Shang into dust with just her Spirit Sense.

"You've come up with the Impose Stage, a theoretical way to the Sixth Realm and even one to the Seventh Realm, correct?" she asked.

Shang nodded wordlessly.

"Then, what makes you think that you can't create one for the Eight Realm?"

"Creating the Path is not the issue," Shang said.

"Then, what is? Why do you need an Empire?" she asked.

Shang wasn't quite sure why Mistra was asking these questions. "Because I need the required Mana to reach the Eighth Realm."

"Why don't you just absorb the Mana of the world like with any other breakthrough?" Mistra asked.

Shang remained silent for two seconds. "Because there isn't enough Mana."

This time, it was Mistra that snorted. "That's an interesting reason," she said. "You think there's not enough Mana in the world? Have you seen how big it is? How can there not be enough Mana?"

Shang's Spirit Sense inspected Mistra very closely.

She didn't seem to be lying.
