They will not strengthen my body or help in any way during the small advancements. This is more of a do-everything-at-once thing.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'These are the four components I need, and after gaining them, I can attempt a breakthrough.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But first, I should advance to the Early Fusion Realm to strengthen my mind. The stronger my mind, the easier it will be to comprehend the two Concepts I need.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I still have several days left before I should return to the real world. I think I should use these days to become familiar with my second sword.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First, become familiar with my second sword. Second, reach the Early Fusion Realm. Third, try to comprehend the Concept of Addition while absorbing Abominations during missions.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang nodded once and took hold of both of his swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, the Long Sword vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had put it into his Space Ring. His Space Ring was easier to access than his inner world, allowing for faster swapping of weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING! SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang swapped out his swords and moved Shock several times before swapping back to his Colossal Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the Mana Shang left behind after using a technique was interfering with the follow-up technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darkness Mana for Shang's Shock made it difficult to properly create Brilliance, for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Ghost Step instead of Shock made it a bit easier, but Shang still felt awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of his techniques had been created to be used separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's a problem,' Shang thought. 'In the future, I will be using only two States instead of four, and I will even use them at the same time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My techniques need to flow better into each other, even if that might reduce their power by a bit.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shang shook his head. 'That shouldn't be my concern now. That's for when I create my two new Imposes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'For now, I should just get familiar with fighting with two swords, even if it feels awkward.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing for a couple of hours, Shang mostly got the hang of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he began to summon the wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang willed the beast wheel to appear, and it appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He willed for his opponents to be of a certain level of power and spun it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, he couldn't just choose who or what he wanted to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only choose his opponent's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's opponent soon appeared, and he attacked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the fight, Shang directly summoned his next opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his next one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While summoning his opponents, he was very careful not to summon opponents that were too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang wasn't young and inexperienced anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly what kind of danger this wheel could pose to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the wheel in the wrong way could hurt Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could get rid of his fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear of losing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, dying was still terrifying and morbid to Shang, and if there hadn't been an incentive for him to earn more points, he would never have decided to fight a powerful Peak Archbeast or a powerful Late Archmage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These intense emotions and the fear of death were the very things necessary to unearth someone's potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Earth, there were stories of mothers being able to lift cars to save their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the example might be a bit extreme, it showed an inevitable fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under fear of death or losing a loved one, humans could perform feats that they would never be able to perform otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same was true for Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monumental risk of losing absolutely everything could increase someone's power by a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, if Shang kept on fighting powerful beasts in his inner world and dying, the feeling of death would dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, Shang would grow so used to dying that his body wouldn't even send fear to his mind when he was actually fighting with his life on the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this fear was necessary to perform at his best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, Shang wouldn't summon any truly dangerous opponents with the wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every death would weaken his fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear was a powerful motivator, and Shang had to save it for the times he really needed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Shang didn't want to use any more of Sword's Entropy. He was already out of Entropy Ore, and Sword only had a limited number of uses left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in the end, Shang decided to fight against powerful Mid Archbeasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were strong enough that Shang could injure them without using Sword's Entropy but still quite problematic to win against without it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the worst-case scenario, Shang would need to use a bit of Sword's Entropy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For several days, Shang continued fighting different beasts, and he didn't need to use Sword's Entropy even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Shang was satisfied with his progress and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still felt a bit awkward to switch out weapons between different techniques, but he could now do it without any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang wanted to adapt his techniques to make it more fluent more than anything, but that wasn't so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single technique of Shang's had been perfected, and he had even created his Mana pathways to support these movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shang wanted to change his techniques, he would need to also change his Mana pathways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, that was too much work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of cramming two houses together and combining them, Shang decided that it would be easier just to build a third one between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be where his new Impose would reside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, for now, Shang needed to work on comprehending Addition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang put his Colossal Sword into his Space Ring and left his inner world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1036,"2026-06-06T04:07:21.127Z",1,"novelbin.me","ca3896a2af27b4d5f699517c48fe4c4e378fc20c599541d7103b0916b670b968","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-610","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-608",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
