Shang spent a bit more than a year strengthening his body and Affinity.
After that year, Shang reached the Early Commander Stage, but his control over his Affinity hadn't been strengthened by much. The main problem was probably his weak mind.
Sadly, there was no cure for that due to his Warrior's body.
However, Shang wanted to reach a breakthrough in his control over his Affinity before he left this place. On top of that, he wanted to strengthen his body a bit more. After all, the relative power compared to beasts on his level always fell after a breakthrough.
Shortly before Shang had made his breakthrough, he had about 82% of the power of an Initial Commander Stage beast, but after his breakthrough, he only had about 60% of the power of an Early Commander Stage beast.
In terms of total power, that was still far more than before, but it could definitely be better.
