Chapter 45 - Chapter 47 – Trial of the Mirror Mind

 🌀 Location: Abyssal Frontier – Mirror Mind Realm

Luo Feng stepped through the obsidian arch, and instantly, reality shattered.

He found himself in an endless white void—no sky, no ground, only light. The boundary between mind and matter blurred.

"Trial of the Mirror Mind has begun."

❗ System Alert: You must defeat your mirror self using heart, not brute force.

💡 Hint: The Mirror Self evolves as you evolve. It knows all you know. It fears what you fear.

👤 Mirror Luo Feng Appears

From the mist emerged another figure—identical to Luo Feng in every way. But there was no warmth in its eyes, only judgment.

"You are not worthy," the Mirror Luo said coldly.

"You hesitate. You protect. You are soft."

He ignited a Mental Blade Array, slicing the air with speed even faster than Luo Feng himself had ever achieved.

"I am what you could become if you stopped caring," the Mirror hissed. "You're holding back because of Earth, your family, your morals."

Luo Feng gritted his teeth.

"No. That's what makes me stronger."

They clashed—blade against blade, thought against thought.

💥 Battle of Equal Monsters

Both were flawless in skill. Psi-energy screamed in waves as they dashed, slashed, and teleported through the void.

Luo Feng summoned his Elemental Blades: Fire, Wind, and Ice dancing around him like loyal beasts.

But the Mirror summoned something different—Darkness.

A blade forged from rejection, shame, doubt, and rage.

"You buried these feelings, Luo Feng," the Mirror sneered. "I embraced them. That's why I am faster!"

And it was true. The Mirror was faster, stronger, brutal. Every blow pushed Luo Feng closer to mental collapse.

🌑 Facing the Truth

Suddenly, everything froze.

The void transformed into Luo Feng's childhood room.

His dying mother on the floor, his little brother crying in fear, and his powerless self kneeling—unable to stop the tragedy replaying.

The Mirror appeared again.

"You weren't strong enough to save them then. You never will be. That guilt... fuels me."

Luo Feng knelt.

For a moment, he believed it.

Until a memory flickered—not of failure, but of Hong standing behind him, years ago.

"Power is responsibility," Hong had said. "You don't protect others because you're strong. You become strong because you want to protect."

Luo Feng's eyes burned gold.

"You're right," he told the Mirror. "I am weak sometimes."

"But I choose to stand back up. Again. And again."

"Because I don't walk this path alone."

The Mirror hesitated.

And in that moment of clarity, Luo Feng merged his Psi-Array and Elemental Control, forming a new technique:

⚔️ Blade of Heart-Will

A golden blade, forged from courage, flickered into his hand.

⚔️ Final Blow

"This is my truth," he whispered.

With a single, clean arc, he slashed.

The Mirror's weapon shattered. So did the Mirror.

The void collapsed into particles of light.
