CHAPTER 714: CHAPTER 431: GRINDING SKILL PROFICIENCY
Far away at the ruins of Xiling City, Terres, upon hearing of Lu Heng’s return, traveled a great distance just to see him.
After the siege of the skeleton army, the Elf Clan began subconsciously using the word "return" when mentioning Lu Heng.
When Terres received the news, the messenger elf used the word "return."
It was as if Lu Heng had become a part of the Elf Clan, coming back to visit family and friends, not merely as a guest.
When Lu Heng saw Terres, he reached out and slapped palms with him, then clasped hands and pulled each other over for a shoulder bump.
No need for excessive politeness or small talk; the friendship forged in life and death can withstand any test.
Back when facing the Bone Sovereign, Lu Heng was controlled by the Death God’s Deputy class and uttered the words: "You go. I can’t come back."
Terres’s heart sank at that moment, and despair began to rise.
Because at that time, Kolos City was on the brink of collapsing, and if Lu Heng was controlled, no one would be able to oppose the Bone Sovereign.
At that moment, Terres really thought the Elf Clan would be finished, but he immediately thought of something and firmly placed his trust in Lu Heng.
Because when Lu Heng said those words, his eyes flickered, clearly struggling, not completely out of control.
However, even when not completely out of control, Lu Heng demonstrated absolute loyalty to the Bone Sovereign.
This gave Terres confidence, so he followed Lu Heng’s hint and immediately retreated, pretending to lead Queen Orelana out of Kolos City.
The Bone Sovereign, seeing Terres trying to lead Queen Orelana away, assumed the battle was won and dropped his guard.
It was in this instant that Lu Heng seized the flaw, breaking free from the Death God’s Deputy class, and with one strike, shattered his essence, ultimately winning the battle.
Through this battle, the friendship between Lu Heng and Terres no longer needed to be expressed with words.
"Why did you go to Xiling City again?" Lu Heng, having heard that Terres returned from Xiling City, inquired about the reason.
"Even though the Abyss Pollution Source under Xiling City has been cleared, we didn’t check below the seal before. It’s heavily polluted by Abyss Energy, and only I can enter, so I went in to take a look."
Terres entered to check the seal, with another purpose being to see where his teacher had lingered when he passed away.
"Did you discover anything under the seal?" Lu Heng casually asked.
"Under the seal is a dry Moon Well, heavily polluted, like the other polluted Moon Wells, with no possibility of restoration." Terres sighed as he spoke.
At the height of the Elf Clan’s power, they had many Moon Wells, now only one remains in Kolos City.
For hundreds of years, the Elf Clan has searched for ways to restore the Moon Wells but has yet to succeed.
"Take it slowly; there will always be a way." Lu Heng offered comfort, though he had no idea how to restore a Moon Well.
However, with an increasing battle strength and contact with higher-level civilizations, there might just be a ray of hope.
"I heard you brought a Black Iron Dwarf." Terres had heard of this matter on the way.
"Yes, a Forging Master from the Black Iron Tribe, currently collaborating with the Elf Clan’s Forging Master, Cado Kuki, in forging Dragon Bone. I wanted to mention this: if they could study the Dragon’s Tooth, it might assist in their forging skills," Lu Heng suggested a rather abrupt request.
Dragon’s Tooth was a sword left by Terres’s teacher, the previous Elf Sword Saint Santos.
This level of divine weapon is a rare existence within the Elf Clan and is not typically offered for study.
Moreover, Gulu is a Black Iron Dwarf, not a native of the Queldorei Continent.
This means Gulu might seize the chance to escape with the Dragon’s Tooth, and as long as he reached the Quenching Castle, the Elf Clan wouldn’t be able to chase him.
Had it been anyone else making such a request, Terres would not agree, but it was Lu Heng who asked, so he unhesitatingly took out the Dragon’s Tooth and casually tossed it: "Take it."
Just like that, Lu Heng easily obtained this unparalleled divine weapon, the Dragon’s Tooth.

Receiving the Dragon’s Tooth, the first impression was its weight, extremely heavy.
Weighing 60.5 kg, it is comparable to the weight of an adult.
