Sword God in a World of Magic

More years passed, and Shang continued battling with the beasts inside his inner world.

During the battles, he comprehended a couple more Concepts.

For example, he comprehended the level one Concept of Fire, Kindling, which made his fire a little more efficient.

Sadly, just like with the other Concepts he had comprehended in this little world, it wasn't that useful.

Then, he comprehended the level two Concept of Ice, Freeze, which made it easier to lower the temperatures.

Surprisingly, this wasn't useful at all for now, but it would prove quite useful soon.

After Shang had comprehended that Concept, he actually actively sought out the level two Concept of Fire, which quickly came to him.

Just a couple of years later, Shang comprehended the level two Concept of Fire, Heat, which made it easier to heighten the temperatures.

As soon as Shang had comprehended it, he realized that the two level two Concepts of Ice and Fire were not useless at all.

By increasing the intensity of cold and heat, Shang's Comet became even more powerful, increasing Shang's speed by about 20%.

Some of his attacks had also grown more powerful, but that wasn't worth mentioning. At most, they increased in power by 5% or so.

After seeing these results, Shang reevaluated his mindset.

'There might be something to this,' Shang thought as he inspected his new abilities.

'I didn't expect that comprehending two irrelevant and weak level two Concepts could have such an effect on my power.'

'Usually, I focus on comprehending something specific, which I know will increase my power drastically. That's how I managed to gain a sixfold Spirit Sense.'

'Yet, my focused efforts may have made me miss out on a couple of small powers.'

Shang clenched his right hand as he held it in front of him.

'In the past, I was always under immense time pressure due to my limited longevity.'

'But now, I have so much time.'

'Maybe, instead of trying to reach the Peak Void Break Realm to search for a way to reach the next Realm, I should just train without focusing on anything at all.'

'I didn't understand a lot in the last years, but for some reason, winning against the beasts became easier.'

'This means that something else is happening.'
