[Screech!]
The system froze on the spot.
"Unbind. Unbind right now. I won't hold it against you for scheming against me before. Let's go our separate ways. Hurry."
Lin Chen pressed his advantage without mercy.
[4...3...2...1...0...]
[Unbinding failed]
[System refresh successful]

Lin Chen's eyes shone brighter and brighter. This was heaven-defying!
After Spirit Attachment, the spiritual power within him was already more than five times that of
