Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang's next opponent was another beast with a Lightning Affinity, but it also wasn't the most impressive.

It was a white ape that was using a huge club. It mostly used its Lightning Mana to increase its speed.

Sure, the white ape was pretty fast, but its defense was horrible.

After avoiding a couple of attacks, Shang launched an attack of his own, and the battle ended.

However, Shang had felt more pressure in this fight than in the last since he had been forced to rapidly defend many times before he could launch his own attack.

The sheer power and speed of these beasts had reached such levels that Shang was immediately bombarded by an avalanche of attacks, and if he got hit once, he would explode into a shower of blood.

It was a lot of pressure.

Shang fought a couple more battles, and the beasts became more powerful and more dangerous.

He was going up the rankings of the island.

Eventually, Shang found some opponents that could genuinely threaten his life.

While his attacking power had reached levels where Shang could also kill these powerful beasts in one strike, his speed, and defense were brutally lacking.

"This is not the battle I want," Shang suddenly transmitted to his opponent.

The white wolf in front of Shang stopped attacking, waiting for an elaboration.

"Right now, we are evenly matched," Shang said. "However, you are not the opponent that will help me comprehend the thing I want to comprehend."

The wolf's stance changed to a casual one. "You are conceding?"

"If that is the only way to get a different opponent, yes," Shang answered. "I don't care about who is more powerful between us. I care about becoming stronger, and you are not the beast that can help me achieve this at this moment."

The wolf nodded.

It was in the middle of the rankings of Peak Beast Lords on the island, and it was only interested in keeping its ranking.
