"How is he doing right now?" Liu Wei asked after forging the first chain of the Brain Shackles.
The Brain Shackles was associated with Pride. Its nature was ego, supremacy, and self-deification.
If the heart rules blood, and the kidneys rule desire, then the brain rules authority.
There was a reason that the brain shackles were the last shackles to be forged and why it represented Pride.
Simply because Pride was the most subtle and dangerous corruption.
It declared itself to be above all emotions.
The first chain caused trouble towards Liu Wei. He has to become hyper-aware of his existence—every thought echoes, every decision feels monumental.
He struggled, which caused him to fail many times before finally forging the first chain.
It has been four days since he heard of Zhao Heng's return, so only now he has the time to ask for his well-being.
Furthermore, after forging the first chain, he attained perfect mental clarity and immunity to confusion and distraction.
