Chapter 469: Bamboozling Na'er

"Boom—!"

Amidst the deafening sound, the mountain peak transformed into a world of lightning, Ice and Snow, and Flame.

Everyone's eyes were filled with the three colors of white, red, and blue, and for a moment, they could not see what was happening within.

Until...

"Swish..."

A figure flew off at an angle like a kite with a broken string, smashing into the mountainside with a loud crash.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Gravel flew, and dust and smoke rose everywhere.

"How miserable..."

Everyone felt their scalps tingle as they watched.

Even a Spirit Douluo would lose a layer of skin after being smashed like that, right?

"Who... was that just now?" someone asked in a murmur.

"It wasn't that Chief Judge..." another person said gloomily.

Someone else said, "No way, after all, that's an 85th-level Spirit Douluo, defeated so easily?"

"It wasn't exactly easy, right? That Ice and Fire Dual Heavens looked agonizing; both hot and cold, it must have been absolutely painful to be torn apart by it..."

The crowd began to speculate among themselves.

"Na'er, Na'er, hurry and change back."

As it turned out, before the person in the mountainside could emerge, Qin Jian's voice rang out from above.

The crowd looked up and saw Qin Jian flapping his Sword Wings as he flew down from mid-air, walking toward the Knight Order as if nothing had happened.

"So it really was him who won..."

Many students murmured in low voices, their eyes dazed at first, then beginning to turn fanatical.

There was no helping it; Qin Jian was simply the most suitable existence to be a school idol. To be able to topple a Spirit Douluo at such a young age—what an achievement that was.

Coupled with his god-like appearance, it made people even more unable to extricate themselves...

"Na'er, Na'er, why haven't you changed back yet?"

Qin Jian had long been immune to the fanatical gazes of these students; he felt nothing at all.

He was more concerned about when the Silver Dragon Spear in his hand would turn back into Na'er.

Such a beautiful little girl, and one he had fantasized into existence himself, truly left him unable to stop.

"It's nothing, I just feel that since the Silver Dragon Spear was just gripped in your hand, if I turn back into myself now, I don't even know where you might have touched, it feels... a bit strange."

Na'er's voice sounded in the depths of his heart.

Qin Jian was very helpless: "If you're going to put it that way, then where on this body hasn't been touched by me?"

Na'er was clearly silent for a moment, then said gloomily: "As expected, it's better if I don't take human form..."

Originally, having defeated an 85th-level Spirit Douluo, Qin Jian had been a tiny bit happy, but now that was all cast to the nine heavens.

If Na'er never turned back into her previous appearance from now on, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life!

A brainstorm began, and the Scum God System started running at high speed.

Before long, Qin Jian spoke up: "Na'er, actually you shouldn't think of it that way... although you are one with the Silver Dragon Spear, whether it is your nascent main body or the girl you turned into earlier, both underwent disintegration and reorganization, so how can they be lumped together?"

"Why not? Isn't it still the same body?"

Na'er's voice had no discernible fluctuation.

Qin Jian continued to bamboozle her: "Actually, if everything in this world were broken down into infinitely small parts, they would all be the same atoms, but can you say that my body and other people's bodies are the same?"

"Is that so? How come I didn't know that?"

Na'er seemed to have gained some interest.

Qin Jian felt a boost in spirit: "That explanation just now was too abstract. Let me give you an analogy: do you think water, ice, fog, snow, frost, and steam are the same thing?"

"Of course not. Although they are all composed of the Water Element, their organizational structures are different... Oh, I understand..."

Na'er suddenly realized: "Just like how I can control many types of elements, but the things elements can form are different. I really can't say that every single thing is the same."

"Exactly. So, you in your girl form and you in your nascent body form, although both are constructed after the Silver Dragon Spear is turned into particles, they cannot be said to be the same as the Silver Dragon Spear," Qin Jian concluded.

"That's true, but why do I always feel like something is strange..." Na'er murmured.

Of course it was strange; this argument made no sense at all, it was just a case of substituting one concept for another...

If you take the same fabric, make it into one piece of clothing, and then take it apart to make another, how can you say they have absolutely no connection?

After all, the particles of the Silver Dragon Spear were not common elements, but special constructs. No matter how the form changed, this body was still this body; that would not change.

Qin Jian chuckled inwardly, but urged her aloud: "Don't think so much, hurry and change back, hurry and change back, hurry and change back..."

He kept talking, continuously interrupting Na'er's line of deep thought.

"Chi chi..."

Finally, the Silver Dragon Spear transformed back into the appearance of the little girl with silver hair and Purple eyes.

"I always have the intuition that I've been tricked by you again..."

The emotionless loli looked up at him indifferently.

Qin Jian took her hand as if nothing had happened and walked forward: "You are the wisest and the most intelligent, who could possibly trick you..."

Na'er, who had still been exploring what traps might be in his words just now, no longer had any such thoughts.

Why could this man always touch her hand so naturally? Before, in the carriage, it could be passed off as unconscious, but now he had just gone and held it directly...

So, it must have been intentional in the carriage earlier. If she had pulled her hand away, there wouldn't be this hand-holding now, and if she got angry, he could just say it was an accidental touch.

But if she didn't resist, then there would be further contact now...

"As expected of you..."

Na'er sighed softly.

She, who had been single for hundreds of thousands of years, really couldn't handle this kind of subtle ambiguity filled with traps at every step...

"I'll just take that as a compliment."

A smile played on Qin Jian's lips, and the soft, delicate little hand in his felt exactly as he had imagined.

Thus, he became even more certain that everything about Na'er's current body was something he had imagined, with no difference whatsoever.

A girl who possessed all of his affection and expectations—could anything be more maddening than this?

If not for the fear of scaring her into never transforming like this again, Qin Jian would have loved to pull her into his arms right now and wantonly... toy with her.

"Chief Judge, he..."

Thunder Dean walked up to meet him, glancing with some hesitation toward the dust and smoke behind him.

"No need to worry, that final blow wasn't enough to seriously injure him; it was just a minor injury, and he's just a bit disheveled..."

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "I reckon he's tidying up his appearance; he'll be out soon."

Only then did Thunder Dean feel somewhat relieved.

After all, this person was sent by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family to handle academy affairs; if any major problem occurred, he, a mere small-time Dean, could not afford the responsibility.

"Next, you should follow what the other academies have done and change the nameplate. As for the Inspector Teacher, they will be dispatched one after another in the future," Qin Jian said with a wave of his hand.

Thunder Dean did not show any sign of regret; this academy was never his to begin with, and now it was just one more boss above him—what was there to be sad about...
