Lu Zhen's eyes widened as he looked at the silver chain, about a metre in thickness, in front of him. It emitted a terrifying aura that even made Lu Zhen a bit afraid.
"What is this chain, elv?" he roared loudly to the ground.
"You said I should make you a weapon, and I gave it to you. Whether you can wield it or not is not my problem," elv's voice was tinged with a sneer and scorn for Lu Zhen.
"Damn it," Lu Zhen gritted his teeth as he caught the chain.
As expected, the moment he touched it, a violent shockwave sent him into the wall.
Boom!
Lu Zhen crashed through the old bamboo temple and collided with countless trees before he could finally regain his momentum.
"This..." his pupils dilated.
The chain seemed to become angry as it slithered while floating in the air in a dragon shape as if like a dragon.
"Let's fight then," Lu Zhen seethed with rage, increasing his power to the maximum and transforming into his Volgrith form almost instantaneously.
Roar!
A shockwave reverberated throughout the place as he jumped on the chain with a ruthless glint on his face.
The chains also seemed to be angered by the head-on confrontation with Lu Zhen, moving towards him like a dragon.
However, the moment Lu Zhen and the chain were about to collide, his crimson eyes gained a sneer.
"As expected of an inanimate object..." he moved to the side and caught the silver chain when it was about to be effective.
The chains, seeing this, huffed with anger, as if it was embarrassing for falling for Lu Zhen's tricks.
Without hesitation, the chains moved like a snake, dashing into the ground, making Lu Zhen, who was catching its body, rub against the ground, creating friction and causing his body to burn with a scalding pain.
The moment he let the chain float in midair again, but this time it was very gentle and wasn't in anger. Instead, it slowly went towards the hand of Lu Zhen and tenderly touched him.
"Eh, it wants my pat..." Lu Zhen was stunned as he could feel a strange connection to it, allowing the chain to communicate with him.
"Welp." With a strange expression on his face, he patted the chain.
As if it was a cute pet, it jumped up with happiness as it vibrated, producing a hearty smile-like sound.
Lu Zhen looked at it with a strange face; however, he just shrugged after a moment.
"Come to my waist now," he said, and the chain happily obliged, becoming smaller before wrapping around his waist and shoulder in a criss cross.
"Now it's time to deal with that old monster again..." Lu Zhen thought bitterly as he entered the temple again.
"You took more time than I expected; you are weak. So what is the favor you ask of me?"
Elv's voice sounded in his head, filled with the familiar mocking tone that he had already listened to previously.
"Favor? I am not asking for a favor. I will make a deal with you."
"Oh, what kind of deal?"
"I will return the books to you ahead of time; however, you need to set up a formation for me."
Lu Zhen smirked as he patiently waited for Elv's reply.
"It's a deal then, but what kind of formation are you talking about?"
"The one that only a fourth-tier and above mage could use: the Soul-Strengthening Divine Formation." Lu Zhen's eyes glinted.
"How did you know about that?"
"The books, of course," he said with an obvious expression, rolling his eyes up.
