Saying that Shang was surprised would be an understatement.
He knew that Teacher Mervin was powerful, but he hadn't known that he was this powerful!

"You don't want to only fight warriors," Shang said.

"It has always been my goal to be the most powerful warrior. After all, I am a warrior, and just like any other warrior, I want to be the best."
"But when I reached my goal, I realized something."
