... and the shields did not matter much, as all he could do with them was defend. " Oh boy. Mc is so wrong. Swords are meant to be Used with shield. How otherwise he is gonna block projectiles shoot by equally superhuman opponents? Face does not count as shield and if Mc is super human and enemy archer is superhuman then it's as if ordinary warrior wanted to block arrow with his sword which is very stupid idea.

Spear will always win against sword due to reach advantage. And since cultivators forgo usage of shield second hand remains completely empty when MC uses shorts word which is a waste.
