System: Arena of the Gods

Chapter 108 The inner demon’s options

The system activated the "Pure Heart Curse". Speaking of which, this was the first time the system actively activated one of Wang Chu's skills.

This move was not only to clear away the negative emotions in Wang Chu's heart, but also to confirm something.

Sure enough, with the operation of the Clear Heart Mantra, Wang Chu's thinking gradually became clearer, and his heart felt a lot more comfortable.

"System, why do I feel so much better all of a sudden?" He felt a little strange because he didn't hear any system prompts.

"It's okay. I activated the "Pure Heart Curse" just now, and it is indeed useful for your current situation." The system said nonchalantly.

"You? You can directly control my skills and spells over me now?" Wang Chu was a little surprised and worried. This is no joke.

"It's been possible since the upgrade, but I didn't want to, because it costs 100 million to 500 million random righteousness points every time, and this time it cost 260 million." The system said with some distress.

"I'm a prodigal, I'm a prodigal. Even if I have some negative emotions, I just need to adjust them. You spent so much on me right now. Why don't you think about it?" Wang Chu was also quite distressed.

Although he often threatens the system with the idea of ​​spending all his righteousness points, he always just talks about it and never takes any actual actions.

It's just money spent. Now, just because I'm a little depressed, I just spent two A-level experience packs worth of righteousness. I can't stand it.

But the system said righteously: "No, I think it's worth the money, because this is not a simple negative emotion. Just like your irritability last time, it is also a manifestation of immaturity."

Wang Chu was unhappy after hearing this, "Who are you to call me immature? Have I spent more than 20 years in vain? Do I need your three-month-old system to teach me a lesson?"

There was no answer from the system this time, but Wang Chu kept chattering, as if he wanted to vent his frustration.

After the depression in his heart dissipated, Wang Chu finally started to think, something was indeed not normal.

Since being promoted to A level, he must win every battle and conquer every attack. He is somewhat arrogant and frivolous in his heart, and has developed a feeling of arrogance.

But in the Jiang family incident, although he won, he also failed. A kind of disgust arose in his heart. It was not a disgust towards a specific person or thing, but a disgust directed more towards himself. .

That's why he said a long paragraph in the restaurant yesterday. He said it to everyone, including himself.

Now, the world's chaos has finally begun. In addition to worry, he feels insignificant and even has a faint intention of retreating.

Until this time the system broke through this layer of window paper, he was a little angry, but also very powerless.

In fact, emotional transitions like this have happened before when he was at level B, but now he knows that as his strength increases, the more it is allowed to exist, the greater the harm will be.

"Huh, system, tell me, is there any way?" He asked calmly and proactively.

"I have been paying attention to your thoughts just now. You already know where the problem lies. I said before that you suffered from insufficient mental experience and the upgrade was too easy." The system replied.

"Yes, I feel it now. Is there any solution?" Wang Chu continued to ask.

"You can rely on your own will to overcome this difficulty and let your state of mind grow and settle bit by bit. Or you can participate in more dangerous battles and gain insights between life and death. Or you can suppress your strength and experience the feeling of slow growth in strength. "The system replied.

Wang Chu thought for a while and felt that this was actually a bit dangerous. Not to mention suppressing his strength, such an intense experience would probably take a long time.

And in a continuous battle, accidents are most likely to happen. No matter how strong he is, there will always be times when he becomes weak and weak. What will his parents do if he gets cold?

"Is there no other way?" he asked weakly.

"There is a spell called "The Art of Strengthening the Heart and Nourishing the Spirit." It has no other effects. It cannot attack or defend. It has only one function, which is to temper the mind." The system flashed up the panel and displayed the spell. .

"Great, 600 million. If you can accept it, I'll buy it." Wang Chu said excitedly.

However, the system did not agree immediately. Instead, it continued: "This technique has many benefits. It can make your heart strong in advance, but it has two hidden dangers."

When Wang Chu heard that there were hidden dangers, he immediately became cautious and asked, "What hidden dangers?"

"It's like playing a game. If you use experience packs from level 1 to level 100 in one breath, you will always miss some experience points. The first hidden danger of "Mind Training" is that there is a certain chance that it will become heartless. A person of absolute nature, who wholeheartedly pursues the pinnacle of martial arts."

"And the second hidden danger is that just like you use the system to upgrade, now you can feel the lack of state of mind, and "Forging the Heart and Nourishing the Soul" directly makes your state of mind infinitely closer to perfection, so those who were disturbed by inner demons during the divine tribulation The level of strength is infinitely close to defeat."

"But once you get through it, your strength will be far superior to that of the same level, and your understanding of the way of heaven will be stronger than others. You will leave everyone behind."

The system answered slowly, as if it wasn't worried at all.

In fact, it only gave Wang Chu two options, and it could even be said to directly force Wang Chu to choose only one of the two options.

But every option has certain risks, it's just a matter of time, but behind the risks there is a way.

The first option is actually relatively safer, because there are always loopholes that can be exploited, and to be honest, he is not allowed to face it alone.

It was as if the system had already eliminated this option for him because it took a long time.

Wang Chu was always a little worried about the second option, but what he worried about was not the ruthlessness and inexhaustible closeness to defeat that the system said.

What he focused on was the latter sentence, "Once you get through it, you will be far ahead of your peers and will leave everyone behind."

At first glance, this sentence sounds like motivation. The system has always emphasized the need to face difficulties and have a strong mentality.

Normally speaking, the system's answer is that it hopes Wang Chu will choose this item, and it means that there is nothing to worry about if it exists.

If it were in the past, Wang Chu would definitely let the system help him make the choice, or just choose the second option. Why waste time when there is a quick fix?

Even if there are hidden dangers in the practice of "Forging the Heart and Nourishing the Spirit", I have a powerful system plug-in, and the small hidden dangers will be broken at a touch.

But now this sentence sounds more like a trap, like a temptation, like cheese on the ground, waiting for mice to nibble, but underneath there is a trap that cannot be escaped.

"Young man, how are you thinking?" the system said in an old-fashioned way.

This feeling made Wang Chu feel a little strange, as if this was not a system he was familiar with, and it was not the friend he was talking to.

"I choose the first one." Wang Chu took a deep breath and replied solemnly.

"Hehe, you won."

A vague voice sounded in his head, and then Wang Chu fell into a brief daze. After that, he finally heard a familiar voice again.

"Hey, host, Wang Chu, shameless, wake up."

This is the sound of the system.

"Why are you awake? I haven't been awake all the time. I was chatting just now. Is the effectiveness of the "Pure Heart Mantra" weakened?" Wang Chu asked inexplicably.

"How do you know I activated the "Refreshing Spell"?" This time it was the system's turn to be surprised.

"Didn't you say so yourself? And you activated it directly without me, spending 260 million righteousness points, which is really wasteful." Wang Chu felt distressed again when he thought of this.

The system was silent for a few seconds and then demanded in an unquestionable tone: "Then please repeat the conversation we just had."

Although Wang Chu didn't understand what the system was supposed to do, he still had to say what needed to be said, what were the two options, what was the "Heart Training and Spiritual Refining Technique", and even the initial one about activating the 260 million righteousness value of the "Pure Heart Curse" The dispute was also said.

After he roughly said everything, the system slowly spoke.

"It seems that the fusion between us has become deeper. Your inner demon can even be imitated directly by me."

Wang Chu was shocked when he heard this.

"What the hell, you mean I've been talking to my inner demon just now?"

"Although you came a little early, it is true, young man, your choice is right."
