Sword God in a World of Magic

Queen Primordium and Shang walked back to Lucin, who had been waiting anxiously for the result.

"He is to be treated as a King Contender," Queen Primordium told Lucin.

Lucin smiled and nodded. "Understood, my Queen."

"Shang," Queen Primordium said. "Lucin will explain everything to you. As a new member of the Contender Department, your official position is named Cloud."

"As a Cloud, you have authority over Sparks and Boltlings. Your authority is equal to Bolts, and you must obey the orders of Thunders."

Shang nodded. "Understood."

"Lucin will explain everything in detail to you later. I hope you won't run out of longevity before you comprehend Void Casting."

When Lucin heard that, he looked with shock at Shang.

Lucin hadn't known what Shang's next plans would be, and when he heard that Shang wanted to comprehend Void Casting next, he knew how insanely difficult it would prove to be.

Under any other circumstance, Lucin would advise Shang not to practice Void Casting since it would be far too difficult for him to comprehend.

However, Shang wasn't a normal member of the Contender Department, but someone with a fivefold Spirit Sense.

The difference in talent and effort required to get a fivefold Spirit Sense was far higher than getting a fourfold Spirit Sense.

Lucin himself "only" had a fourfold Spirit Sense. This meant that he knew a lot about becoming more powerful, but there was still a difference between someone on his level and someone on Shang's level.

After many years of raising King Contenders, Lucin knew that the best way for someone with a fivefold Spirit Sense to grow stronger was to let them do whatever they wanted and support them in their decisions.

Trying to constrict them with conventional methods would only ruin their talent.
