Shang had nothing he could do but increase his power. In a way, it felt very stifling, but Shang knew that he wasn't completely helpless.
Even though increasing his power wouldn't help him at this moment, it would help him in the future.
Over the next month, Shang fully focused on training. Most of the time, he remained inside his room, training his swordsmanship, but he also sometimes came out to ask the teachers a couple of questions.
Mervin had answered most of Shang's questions since he was the trainer responsible for teaching swordsmanship.
When Mervin saw Shang again, he noticed that Shang's eyes didn't seem as lost and apathetic anymore.
"You changed for the better," Mervin said.
Shang didn't want to get into the topic and asked his questions, which Mervin answered thoroughly.
