Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang returned to his Isolation Barrier after talking with the Lightning Emperor and immediately started to read the books.

Reading books was something that Shang wasn't used to doing since he got all of his knowledge from other people or from his own experience.

In fact, it felt very weird to be reading a book.

Even more, Shang wasn't interested at all in the content.

Shang was interested in Concepts and how the world worked, but these books only talked about the history of how Mages comprehended Concepts and what they had learned.

Shang was essentially learning how to learn, which wasn't the most fun activity.

Nevertheless, Shang never lost his focus, even though he wasn't interested at all.

Shang read the first couple of books in barely a couple of minutes, but then, he read a book that was not as easy to comprehend.

The book didn't seem longer than all the other ones, but as soon as Shang started to go through the pages, he realized that the stack of pages near the end never seemed to shrink.

Just to check, Shang went to the last pages and looked at the page number.

1,534,917.

Shang closed the book and checked the cover.

Basic Guide to Comprehension.

Then, Shang opened the book again and continued reading.

The book was basically a list of different ways to comprehend Concepts, how people came up with these methods, how they worked, what the disadvantages and advantages were, and what the author of the book recommended.

Luckily, Shang didn't need to spend a lot of time on the book. Yes, it was very long, and Shang read all of it, but he didn't really need to calculate things. He just needed to read.

This book took Shang nearly an hour to read, and he didn't remember a lot of it since 99% of the contents were useless to him.

However, the one percent that was actually useful was REALLY useful.
