Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

[Host, do not be arrogant.]

The Persuasion System seemed to see through Zhang Beixing’s thoughts and promptly spoke up to remind him.

[Although your cultivation now is no longer what it once was...]

[There is still a long way to go before truly becoming an Extraordinary Saint.]

[Moreover, the strong in this world aren’t limited to just you.]

[Only by avoiding arrogance and distractions and focusing on cultivation can you break through yourself and ascend further!]

[Rest assured, as long as you are willing to work hard, I will do my best to help you.]

[Next, I have prepared a new challenge for you.]

[Be prepared, because...]

[This time, it’s not as simple as before.]

The System’s words invigorated Zhang Beixing’s spirit.

He immediately sat up straight, with a solemn expression.

"What challenge? Tell me quickly."

"What difficulty is it this time? SSS Level? Or the legendary Celestial Level?"

Zhang Beixing’s tone was full of eager anticipation.

Clearly, he was already impatient to challenge his limits.

He had a determined resolve to complete any task given by the System.

[Haha, Host, you are so impatient.]

The System chuckled, as though it had expected Zhang Beixing’s reaction.

[Don’t worry, this task, although daunting, is not impossible.]

[Otherwise, I wouldn’t give it to you, would I?]

[This challenge is the Soul Transformation!]

[At that time, you will meditate under the Spirit Tree.]

[In the world of the mind, battle against your Heart Demon.]

[Defeat the Heart Demon, and your Soul Power will advance by leaps and bounds!]

[But if defeated by the Heart Demon...]

[The consequences, I think you understand.]

The System’s words sent a chill down Zhang Beixing’s heart.

He instinctively clenched his fist, his gaze like a torch.

"Rest assured, since I dare to accept the challenge, there’s no reason for me to lose."

"In this world, there’s nothing Zhang Beixing can’t accomplish!"

His tone was resolute, full of unmatched confidence.

The world’s disdainful momentum was simply terrifying.

"Master is so handsome! I believe you can pass the test!"

"Exactly, with Master’s strength, a mere Heart Demon cannot be your opponent!"

Alina and Richard quickly chimed in, having absolute confidence in their master.

They firmly believed there was nothing in this world Zhang Beixing couldn’t do.

With this trust, Zhang Beixing’s fighting spirit became even more vigorous.

He strode to the Spirit Tree, leaped up, and sat cross-legged.

"I will now confront my Heart Demon!"

"Watch me defeat it completely and utterly!"

Zhang Beixing clenched his fist, radiating killing intent.

In the next moment, he closed his eyes and submerged into the world of the mind...

There, an immensely evil existence awaited his challenge.

That was his own Heart Demon!

The mind world was chaotic.

Zhang Beixing’s consciousness drifted like a lone boat in the vast void.

"Is this my mind world?"

He looked around, his brow furrowed.

"But why do I feel no trace of light?"

"Instead..."

Zhang Beixing was abruptly shocked before finishing his words.

In the depths of the void, a pitch-black figure slowly approached.

The figure was identical to Zhang Beixing!

Except for its eyes, black as ink, terrifyingly sinister.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Beixing instinctively assumed a battle stance, watching the intruder warily.

"Haha, who am I?"

The shadow emitted a bizarre laugh, its tone grim.

"I am your Heart Demon, Zhang Beixing!"

"I was born from the darkest desires within your heart."

"Your arrogance, your cruelty, your selfishness..."

"All of these nurtured me!"

The Heart Demon spread its arms, its face crazed.

"Now, I will devour your soul and replace you!"

"From now on, only I will be the real Zhang Beixing!"

As the shadow spoke, it suddenly dashed forward.

Its speed was so fast, within a blink it was before Zhang Beixing.

A pitch-black claw viciously aimed at Zhang Beixing’s throat!

"You dream!"

Zhang Beixing reacted swiftly, his figure flickered, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike.

He followed up with an elbow blow, fiercely hitting the Heart Demon’s face.

With a dull thud, the Heart Demon’s figure shook but didn’t collapse.

"Is that all the power?"

It sneered, red tongue flicking.

"You still have much to learn, Zhang Beixing!"

Before the words fell, the Heart Demon’s figure vanished again.

The next moment, it appeared behind Zhang Beixing.

A swipe of pitch-black claws, sharp like a scythe.

It swung violently, several dark rays cleaved towards Zhang Beixing’s back!

Zhang Beixing’s heart stunned, rapidly channeling all his Spiritual Power.

With a roll, he narrowly avoided the deadly ambush.

"Damn, its speed is so fast!"

Zhang Beixing furrowed his brows, secretly clicking his tongue.

He never expected this Heart Demon to be so troublesome.

"Master, be careful!"

During the critical moment, Alina and Richard’s voices suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Master, don’t be deceived!"

"That’s just the dark side of you, you can definitely overcome it!"

Their words like a dose of encouragement, poured into Zhang Beixing’s heart.

Indeed, as terrifying as this Heart Demon was, it was

just a part of himself.

If he couldn’t even defeat himself, how could he rule the world?

With this in mind, Zhang Beixing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with lethal intent.

"Stop being arrogant, Heart Demon!"

"You are just a strand of obsession within me."

"Today, I will cut off this obsession and make you disappear completely!"
