To be honest, even after Chen Ming had seen many women in the Douluo world who could be called beauties in the original story, Long Na'er, the Silver Dragon King's avatar, was still the most beautiful among them.
Her appearance no longer felt like that of an ordinary human.
She was more like a spirit born from heaven and earth, or some higher being that looked human but was not truly human.
Aside from simple beauty, she also had a special charm formed from her inner aura.
It was not just a matter of being pretty.
It was the outward form of a certain trait.
If one had to explain it, it was like how some people were not especially good-looking, but still carried an aura that made others unable to doubt them.
In Chen Ming's eyes, Long Na'er's aura seemed cold, noble, and hard to describe. There was also a kind of natural spirituality to her.
But as for the Silver Dragon King's intelligence, Chen Ming did not expect much. At most, he would treat her as a stronger opponent than expected, just to be safe.
Although Ning Rongrong had been the one to bring Chen Ming here to see Long Na'er, when she saw Chen Ming and Long Na'er smile at each other and show some kind of special harmony, she still felt a little unhappy inside.
It was like a toy she had always wanted to get was suddenly being played with freely by someone else.
Although things had not really reached that point, Ning Rongrong still felt a little sour.
"Rongrong, we have some things to talk about. You can go back first. I'll look for you later."
"I'll definitely help you solve your problem, so you don't need to worry."
"All right." Ning Rongrong looked calm on the surface, but inside, she sighed.
While still keeping the grace of a young lady, she left the scene like a defeated dog.
Chen Ming led Long Na'er, the avatar of the Silver Dragon King, to his cave residence.
The fact that Chen Ming left a large house unused and chose to live in a cave, and one inside a mineral vein at that, made Long Na'er feel that her earlier guess was even more correct.
After all, how could a human give up a luxurious house and live in a cave for no reason?
This had to be a mark left in his soul from his previous life. It made him instinctively more used to this kind of place.
"Hello. Is there something you want to say to me?"
"I feel like you look familiar, but I can't quite remember where I've seen you before."
"When I saw you, my Martial Soul seemed to stir a little."
"Maybe it's because we both have high-quality dragon-type Martial Souls."
Chen Ming invited Long Na'er to sit, then took out the fine tea he had prepared and brewed it for them.
After that, he slowly spoke. He looked a little curious and nervous, without showing anything special.
But in truth, Chen Ming was constantly thinking.
Why had the Silver Dragon King entered the human world this time?
And how should he interact with her later?
"My sect is in the northeastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is a hidden sect. Recently, because of the beast tide, we had no choice but to come out."
"I also joined Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
"I originally thought there was no one in this world who could stand on the same level as me. Until I saw you."
"Your Martial Soul is very special. It shouldn't be some simple Armored Earth Dragon, right?"
"A sub-dragon like that isn't even especially strong among sub-dragons."
"Your Martial Soul should be a powerful true dragon. Maybe even an existence at the level of a Dragon King, right?"
The silver-haired beautiful girl took a small sip of tea.
Then she leaned forward and looked at Chen Ming with an aggressive gaze.
"I only happened to gain a few lucky encounters."
"My Martial Soul completed a second awakening, and the bloodline in my body was further awakened."
"That caused some changes in my Martial Soul."
"On the other hand, Student Long Na'er, I feel your Martial Soul shouldn't be just a spear-type Martial Soul that happens to share the name Silver Dragon Spear."
"It should be the true Martial Soul form of the legendary dragon race's divine weapon, right?"
"To think such a powerful Martial Soul can still exist in this world. It's almost impossible to understand."
Chen Ming's expression did not change.
He leaned forward directly, bringing his face closer, and stared straight into Long Na'er's eyes.
At the same time, the thoughts in his mind began to shift.
They turned into another kind of complex binary thinking, making sure that even if someone could read his mind, they would still have no idea what he was thinking.
Feeling the masculine breath and warmth on her face, Long Na'er's face turned slightly red.
She moved her body back to its original position.
After taking a sip of tea to calm herself, she finally returned to her cool expression.
"It was only a lucky Martial Soul mutation."
"This world doesn't lack special cases like that, does it?"
"For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon can also mutate into an even stronger dragon-type Martial Soul."
"It's just that my sect's inherited Martial Soul had a good mutation during awakening."
"There are records of this kind of thing in my sect too. But Martial Souls born from good mutations like this often cannot be passed on to the next generation."
Long Na'er did not possess mind-reading abilities, because this capability was considered extremely rare even among the many Spirit Beasts. The control of spiritual power in the Douluo World was inherently quite crude and limited. Even the Silver Dragon King could not change this reality.
If it were divine sense, she could achieve abilities like mind-reading. If she frequently trained by extending her own spiritual power, perhaps she could also cultivate such an ability.
However, from the moment of her birth, she had been struck by a sword. Upon arriving in the Douluo World, she had fallen asleep right away. For so many years, she had purely been holed up within the Lake of Life.
Therefore, let alone her current avatar, even her true body could not casually read minds. Unless she directly forced her spiritual power into someone else's brain, but that would directly burn out the brain of the person whose mind was being read.
Gazing at Chen Ming, Long Na'er pondered for a moment before making a request: "I'm very curious about your Martial Soul. May I ask if you would be willing to spar with me? I'm willing to pay a price for it."
"I'm not good at fighting, and my cultivation is only average. I'm only good at research. I probably won't be your match. But if you want to spar with me, it's not impossible…
When the time comes, can you let me study your Silver Dragon Spear Martial Soul? For some reason, I always feel that I'm very familiar with it. I seem to have some special impression of it, but at the same time, it feels like I don't."
"This…" Long Na'er thought for a while, then finally nodded.
As her companion divine treasure, she had never let her Silver Dragon Spear leave her side. Even when facing Di Tian, she had only allowed him to touch the Silver Dragon Spear a few times to comprehend the mysteries within.
Back when she was born, she had not only taken her own Silver Dragon Spear with her. She had also conveniently taken the Golden Dragon King's Golden Dragon Spear.
Because of that, she had spent many years studying the power within the two dragon spears.
But over these hundreds of thousands of years, she had never really discovered anything from them.
At most, she had used the Golden Dragon Spear when the Auspicious Beast was born, injecting a trace of golden dragon bloodline into it.
That made the fortune of the Spirit Beast race become more deeply bound to the dragon race.
She did not think Chen Ming could research anything from it.
Rather, if Chen Ming truly did manage to find something, she would be very pleased.
