Zhang Chi stepped forward and paid his respects; the gigantic dragon head suddenly opened its eyes.
In that instant, the sea-bottom world was bathed in brilliant light, nearly blinding Zhang Chi.
Then, the light converged into the Dragon King's pupils, and as Zhang Chi looked into one of the vertical pupils, it seemed as though he saw an endless starry sky.
Those eyes were so profound that he couldn't help but immerse himself in them, struggling to break free.
But Zhang Chi was not a man lost in the cosmos; though he was drawn to the dazzling stars, he quickly realized that this was not the right moment to be distracted.
"You've awakened so soon; it appears that your aptitude really is the best."
No sooner had Zhang Chi opened his eyes than he heard a resounding voice at his ear, yet the Dragon King's mouth did not move, and there seemed to be no sound from the outside.
This sentence felt a bit like a communication of minds.
