Silver Dragon Inverse Scale

Spouting Shrek's glory with every other word, huh?

Then he would shatter that so-called glory completely.

He had never had much fondness for Shrek Academy.

The Shrek from the original novel was disgusting beyond measure.

Cheating in competitions, throwing its weight around, being overbearing and unreasonable, bullying the weak while fearing the strong—it had done such things more than once or twice.

Even toward its own people, it was not necessarily all that good.

What kind of treatment had Huo Yuhao received at Shrek Academy?

He had clearly won the freshman tournament, yet he had not even been made a core disciple.

It had clearly been called the Huo Yuhao Team beforehand, yet when it was time to receive the award, they deliberately changed it to the Wang Dong Team.

What was that if not disgusting?

Yet once they learned of Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, they immediately changed their tune.

Those disgusting expressions were enough to make anyone sick.

Huo Yuhao himself was quite a talent, yet just a couple of words from them moved him beyond measure.

A few trifling favors from between their fingers were enough to make Huo Yuhao weep with gratitude.

He had even shamelessly declared that everything he had was given to him by the academy.

What a joke.

Wasn't everything you had given to you by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion?

Without them, what the hell were you, Huo Yuhao?

Would Shrek have thought highly of you?

Shrek had easily brainwashed Huo Yuhao, to the point where he later kept saying that the academy was his home.

Whoever messed with the academy, he would mess with them.

He had been utterly tamed by Shrek Academy.

All that could be said was that Huo Yuhao himself had character issues, which was why he was so easily fooled.

Still, Shrek Academy's brainwashing ability was indeed formidable.

How many people had been brainwashed by the phrase "Shrek's glory"?

But Su Yu was not Huo Yuhao. He was not nearly so easy to fool.

"What you say makes sense, but human society is full of danger. If you wish to study, you will inevitably have to enter one of humanity's higher academies."

"When that time comes, even Di Tian may not be able to protect you at all times. You need to understand that."

Gu Yuena looked at Su Yu and spoke with a serious expression.

There were risks in leaving.

"Na'er, I know. But I've never been afraid of risks."

Su Yu grinned.

He still had a Super Sect Card. What the hell did he have to fear?

"Fine. It seems I can't talk you out of it. Take this."

With a light flick of Gu Yuena's slender hand, a silver dragon scale as large as a washbasin appeared.

The next instant, the dragon scale rapidly shrank until it was the size of a palm.

Powerful elemental fluctuations radiated from the silver dragon scale, carrying a faint, ancient majesty.

Su Yu ignored that pressure and casually caught the silver dragon scale.

The silver dragon scale was bright and flawless, smooth as a mirror. It felt cool in his hand.

Yet the divine power fluctuations contained within showed that it was no ordinary object.

"This is one of my inverse scales. Keep it on you. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, it can protect you."

Gu Yuena parted her red lips and spoke softly.

This Silver Dragon Inverse Scale was the hardest scale on her body.

No one below the rank of Limit Douluo could break through its defense.

Under ordinary circumstances, however, it would not activate. It would only trigger when Su Yu suffered a fatal attack.

Once it was triggered, she would immediately sense it and be able to rescue Su Yu.

But she would not tell him that, lest he become dependent on it.

"At the same time, this inverse scale can suppress your Dragon God aura and keep it from leaking out. Right now, you have no way to properly control Dragon God Power."

Su Yu normally did not use the Dragon God Seal Martial Soul, but once the Dragon God's majesty was provoked, the Dragon God Seal would instinctively retaliate.

She had already confirmed that herself.

She did not know how many powerful people outside possessed Dragon Clan Martial Souls, nor did she know whether Su Yu would encounter any.

If he did, so long as that Dragon Clan Martial Soul dared release its pressure, the Dragon God Seal would automatically strike back. Wouldn't that expose Su Yu's Dragon God Seal Martial Soul?

Exposing this Martial Soul too early was no good thing.

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"That's perfect."

This way, he would not need to worry about the Dragon God Seal being exposed.

"Na'er, you treat me far too well. Su Yu has no way to repay you."

"How about I offer myself to you?"

Su Yu stepped forward, leaned close to Gu Yuena, and said with a cheeky grin.

Gu Yuena froze, then fell speechless.

This brat was truly bold, daring to speak to her like that.

But she... she really could not do anything to Su Yu.

He was the Dragon God Reincarnation, the hope of the Soul Beast race.

"You little brat, all you do is think nonsense all day."

Gu Yuena knocked Su Yu on the head and lectured him with a stern face.

Taking advantage of the moment, Su Yu grabbed Gu Yuena's hand and held it in his own beneath her disbelieving gaze.

Su Yu looked at Gu Yuena, his eyes more serious than ever. "Na'er, when the day comes that I am invincible beneath heaven, will you marry me?"

Call it reckless or audacious.

But Su Yu felt it was necessary.

Over these past few months, he and Gu Yuena had spent quite a bit of time together.

He truly did like Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena possessed beauty capable of toppling kingdoms and could be called the number one beauty on Douluo Continent. It was perfectly natural for him to be attracted to her.

Even if he did not like her, he still craved her body.

He did not even dare imagine how fragrant Gu Yuena's delicate body would be.

Another reason was Gu Yuena's personality.

Though she usually seemed cold as ice, like an abstinent goddess, she was actually love-brained.

Once she fell in love, she would lose all sense of direction.

In Douluo 3, after Gu Yuena fell for Tang Wulin, how miserably had Di Tian been betrayed?

He did not want Gu Yuena to stab him in the back while he was working for the Soul Beast race.

Wouldn't that make him a clown?

Though perhaps he was worrying too much, it was always necessary to prepare for a rainy day.

He did not like things beyond his control appearing.

A bomb that could explode at any moment had to be dealt with.

There were only two ways to deal with it. The first was to eliminate it directly.

But setting aside the fact that he was no match for Gu Yuena, she had brought him out of Dragon Valley. Calling that a life-saving grace would not be an exaggeration, would it?

Di Tian and Bi Ji had also been guided by Gu Yuena to care for him. She deserved some credit for raising him too, did she not?

If he still meant Gu Yuena harm, how would that be any different from repaying kindness with ingratitude?

That left only the second method: make Gu Yuena fall in love with him.

As long as Gu Yuena loved him, with her love-brained nature, how could she not help him wholeheartedly?

Then betrayal would be out of the question.

As for advantages, he had them too.

His identity as the Dragon God Reincarnation was his greatest advantage.

He dared hold Gu Yuena's hand and confess to her, yet nothing happened to him. That was his capability.

If it were anyone else, not even ashes would remain.
