Chapter 8 - 8. Defeating the heart demon

"Is this true?" "It seems like I am truly meant to be a stepping stone for others; why the need to live when I can only be oppressed and can't defend myself?" Negative thoughts began to pop into Lu Shang's head.

Such thoughts started to echo in the head of Lu Shang as he clutched his head with both hands, he was trying not to give in to the negative thoughts in his head while at the same time trying his possible best to make sure he prevented the assaults of the heart demon from affecting him.

The heart demon stood still close to Lu Shang enjoying the painful look on the face of its opponent. It continued to speak more negative words to make Lu Shang doubt himself and fully immerse himself in a deep slumber for the rest of his life, which the heart demon would be glad and happy to see happen.

Lu Shang, who was struggling with his mindset, fell down on his knees heavily to the ground and the ground rumbled, small particles of dust rose into the air. With his gritted teeth, he was beginning to control himself and was gradually stopping the negative thoughts to pressure his soul against its will.

The heart demon became shocked that Lu Shang was relieved a little from his mindset upon all he tried to do to make sure Lu Shang become a shadow of himself and then give up on his life but reverse was the case that was happening before its very eyes. Not going to give Lu Shang any breathing space to control himself.

The heart demon ran forward with inter-joined hands together, ready to deliver a terrible and earth-shaking punch to Lu Shang.

Lu Shang, who was on the ground with his head in between his hands, had no awareness that the heart demon was about to attack him. He began to feel a slight headache in his head the more he tried to make sure the negative thoughts disappeared from his head, without stopping the negative thoughts running through his thoughts. He would not be able to win against the heart demon.

The heart demon clenched and interjoined his fist and soon was in front of Lu Shang. The fist of the heart demon connected with the head of Lu Shang who was on his knees trying to free himself from his inner mind bondage. He found himself.

Feeling the heavy punch on his head, Lu Shang couldn't bear such a punch. He fell flat to the ground immediately after he received the punch. Suddenly a white light began to form out of nowhere inside the body of Lu Shang. Soon, the light finished forming into a small vortex.

Lu Shang, who was flat on the ground due to the heavily weighted punch, began to feel pain in his head and blood started to leak out of his mouth, but the surprising thing he felt inside his body was that he was not feeling weak in pain, but instead, his body was getting more energized, causing Lu Shang's heartbeat to start increasing.

Lu Shang was on alert when he felt a strange occurrence in his body.

The white energy which had already completely formed started to spin in the body of Lu Shang. The moment it started to spin, the wind started to blow and gather around the place he was. The vortex begins to absorb spirit energy into the body of Lu Shang.

while Lu Shang was absorbing the soaring spirit energy through the vortex. This energy requires Lu Shang manipulation and an error on one side will immediately affect the other.

Lu Shang's pupils started to gradually turn white.

As Lu Shang's body absorbed the spirit energy, his wounds started to heal. The white vortex spins faster inside Lu Shang's body, absorbing immense spiritual energy from the surrounding environment.

The energy seems to be drawn towards Lu Shang, who can suddenly sense an incredible force coursing through his body. His vision becomes enhanced, and he sees more clearly than ever before. He feels a surge of power and strength filling him up. A single thought came to his mind: "This...this energy...it's mine!" He felt a surge of confidence and determination.

When Lu Shang felt the energy coursing through him, he knew that he was undergoing a transformation. His body was overflowing with overwhelming power, and he felt invincible.

He wanted to learn how to master this new power and use it to defeat the heart demon for good. He had never felt so strong or confident before, and he was determined to become the best version of himself that he could possibly be.

He knew that with great power came great responsibility, and he was ready to take on whatever challenges came his way.

He stood up from the ground, ready to face the heart demon head-on, with a new sense of purpose and determination.

As Lu Shang stood up from the ground, he felt a newfound strength and determination coursing through his body. He was no longer the same person he had been moments ago, feeling helpless and alone against the heart demon. Now, he was strong and ready to face his opponent head-on.

The heart demon, seeing Lu Shang rise to his feet, roared with anger and charged at him once again. But this time, Lu Shang was ready. He raised a hand, ready to defend himself from the attack of the heart demon, but to his surprise, a powerful blast of energy shot out, striking the heart demon and sending it flying backward.

Seeing that the heart demon was struck by the energy blast, he was confused and then raised his hand. He stretched forward and then looked at it. He wasn't expecting any energy to come out of his hand. 'Interesting... With this energy in me I will be able to defeat this heart demon of mine,' he thought.

The demon let out a guttural growl as it tried to regain its footing. However, Lu Shang was relentless, launching a barrage of attacks against it. He felt a power within him that he had never experienced before, a power that allowed him to fight with a level of speed and precision that was beyond anything he had ever known.

Lu Shang continued the fight with his newfound powers, clashing with the heart demon's attacks and dodging its blows with uncanny speed and agility. The heart demon's power, which had once seemed so vast and oppressive, now felt insignificant in the face of Lu Shang's overwhelming strength.

As the heart demon's attacks continued to fall short of its mark, the demon began to retreat, sensing that its power was no match for that of Lu Shang's. But Lu Shang was not yet done. He chased after the heart demon, determination burning in his eyes.

As he closed in on the fleeing heart demon, Lu Shang's power reached its peak. With a final burst of strength, he struck the demon with a powerful blow, sending it reeling backward. The heart demon stumbled and fell to the ground, defeated at last.

Lu Shang stood over its inert form, breathing heavily but victorious. He had overcome the heart demon that had once held him in its grip, and he felt a sense of accomplishment and purpose that he had never known before.

Lu Shang fell to his feet after defeating the heart demon. It wasn't easy for him to defeat the heart demon.
