Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang felt his mind swim, and a second later, he felt like something extremely important to him was being torn away.

It was like someone had shoved their hands into his chest to tear out his heart!

However, Shang didn't move, and he didn't say anything.

He only gritted his teeth.

Queen Primordium was looking at Shang with surprise, while Wester had a small gleam of recognition in his eyes.

Sure enough, the Lightning Emperor had been correct.

Wester was essentially inflicting the greatest pain anyone could feel by tearing apart Shang's soul and establishing new connections.

Yet, Shang was just gritting his teeth.

This was an unreal amount of willpower and resistance to pain.

After a couple of seconds, Shang got used to the pain, and he simply stood there motionlessly.

Queen Primordium got surprised even more, and even Wester was surprised this time.

An equivalent picture from Earth would be someone looking evenly at someone that was currently slowly cutting through the first person's torso with a searing knife.

Shang wasn't showing any reactions anymore.

A couple of seconds later, Shang felt something he had never felt before.

It was extremely difficult to describe this feeling.

The closest thing Shang could say would be that he felt like the world had become more real.

It was like someone that had seen the world through the haze of tiredness was suddenly injected with adrenaline. They were more alert, took in all their surroundings in great detail, and wanted to do something.

This was the effect of anchoring Shang's soul.
