Sword God in a World of Magic

A humongous explosion appeared in the middle of the arena.

The powerful storm inside the arena immediately destroyed all the smoke the explosion had created, revealing Shang.

Shang's body was nearly destroyed. His entire body was filled with cracks and burns.

Shang had offset the power of the explosion by cooling his body rapidly, but that process required more control than Shang had.

If Shang cooled his body a little too much, he would completely freeze, stopping the function of his body and his mind in an instant.

So, Shang had to err on the side of heat. It was better for parts of his body to burn away than to risk his brain freezing and being unable to think or act.

The damage inside Shang's body was severe, but he immediately used his life energy to heal himself.

He could heal himself just as fast as with his old body, but every bit of life energy was just that more valuable since it wouldn't recover nearly as fast.

In past fights, Shang always managed to recover 10% to 100% of his life energy just by staying alive, giving him more opportunities to heal himself.

Now, every bit of life energy wasted was permanent.

The time Shang needed to recover even 1% of life energy would be longer than this fight would take.

On top of that, Shang's maximum level of life energy was already at only 70% due to his new body, making it even more difficult.

These were the negative effects of Shang's new body.

But it was worth it.

Having the ability to have a mind as powerful as his body was too valuable for Shang.

But for now, Shang needed to heal himself.

He used 30% of his life energy, leaving only 40%, and it would not go above 40% during this battle.

It would only go down.

DING!

At that moment, something glittered in Shang's hand.

Shang's Subsis had transformed!

Instead of being a black stick, there was now a beautiful and long icy edge on it, and even more, there were tiny red things moving into it.

Shang had defended against the explosion, but he had also used his Subsis to absorb a lot of the Fire Mana.

All the absorbed Fire Mana traveled through Shang's body, being transformed in the process.

And then, Light Mana entered Shang's Addum.

Shang slashed horizontally.
