Shang slowly walked down the Caves with a narrowed eye. His focus was at its peak, and he kept watch over his surroundings with all of his concentration.
This was no longer the safe area where only Commander Stage beasts lived. No, this was the place where the True Path Stage beasts lived.
Shang's body had already reached the most powerful state possible for a Commander Stage warrior, which meant that he wouldn't be able to become more powerful without working on his Path.
Theoretically, Shang could break through the True Path Stage without a Path by relying on the barbarian strengthening technique, but that would lock him out of the warrior Path.
At that point, he would be like King Skythunder, someone with a powerful body but no advanced techniques.
This was not what Shang wanted.
He wanted to push himself further and further.
He wanted to create the ultimate Path for anyone using a sword.
