What Do You Mean, Your Reverse Scale? This Is My Reverse Scale

Back in his villa, Yu Ming looked at every plant, every brick, and every tile, still the same familiar sight, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

He has been away from the clan for almost half a year, but the courtyard is still carefully cleaned every day, and the rooms are still neat and tidy.

"Young Sect Master, you're back?"

Upon seeing Yu Mingxiao, Dugu Bo quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Yu Mingxiao asked, "Dugu Bo, how have you been at the sect these past six months?"

"Thanks to the Young Sect Master, I'm quite comfortable here. I don't have much to do most of the time, so I'm mostly focused on cultivation," Dugu Bo said with a smile.

He was originally Yu Mingxiao's personal guard in the sect, but Yu Mingxiao did not take him with him when he went on his travels.

I've had a very leisurely time for the past six months. I can cultivate whenever I want and leave the sect whenever I want.

Yu Mingxiao laughed and said, "Dugu Bo, since you have nothing to do in the sect, you should make the most of your time to cultivate. When I inherit the position of Sect Master in the future, you will be one of the elders."

"Yes," Dugu Bo replied solemnly.

Now his Martial Soul has evolved into the Jade Scale Flood Dragon, and his Talent is even greater than before. In just two years, he has cultivated to the level 66 Soul Emperor. With a few more years of hard work, breaking through to the Soul Saint realm is just around the corner.

"By the way, have you met Gu Rong, whom I recruited into the sect before?" Yu Mingxiao suddenly remembered the person he had recruited some time ago and asked casually.

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "I've seen him. That tall, thin fellow was appointed as an elder of the outer courtyard by the sect."

"Elder of the Foreign Affairs Academy?" Yu Mingxiao frowned slightly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Although this position is considered high-ranking within the sect, it is not held by direct descendants of the family and cannot be considered part of the true Core Circle. It is usually filled by strong individuals recruited from outside.

It was reasonable for the father to place the Gu Rong in that location.

However, this might cause him to be bogged down in sect affairs, thus hindering his cultivation.

Gu Rong possesses the Talent of Super Douluo, but placing him in that position would be a complete waste of that Talent.

It seems I should mention it to my father and ask him to arrange a high-ranking position for him where he has nothing to do.

Yu Mingxiao secretly made up his mind not to ask any more questions about it, casually dismissed Dugu Bo, and returned to his residence.

Gu Yuena followed her in, pulled over a chair, and sat down.

Yu Mingxiao glanced at her, took out the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale, and gently placed it on the table.

This scale can no longer be considered a simple Silver Dragon Reverse Scale, because most of it has turned into a dazzling nine-colored hue.

"This... how did my Reverse Scale become like this?" Gu Yuena's pretty face instantly turned pale.

She could clearly sense the presence of the Reverse Scale and knew that Bi Ji had given it to Yu Mingxiao, yet she didn't notice the scale's abnormality at all. This was truly unbelievable.

It turned out she had no idea her Reverse Scale had mutated. That seemed normal; if she had really noticed the change, she probably would have asked me long ago... Yu Mingxiao's thoughts wandered, and he grinned, raising an eyebrow and teasingly saying, "What do you mean, your Reverse Scale? This is clearly my Reverse Scale."

"..."

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "How did my Reverse Scale become like this? The essence within it has almost transformed into the Dragon God Origin."

"I don't know either."

Yu Mingxiao gently shook his head. "About two years ago, I borrowed this Reverse Scale from Bi Ji and saw a scene of the Dragon God within it. I managed to comprehend a move or two, and since then, this Reverse Scale has gradually been tinged with this color..."

Gu Yuena first frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed, and sighed softly, "You are someone who cannot be judged by common sense."

Yu Mingxiao ignored the cryptic question and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Give me this Reverse Scale, shall I?"

Gu Yuena's expression faltered slightly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. She said in a clear voice, "This is my thing. I can't give it to you; at most, I can lend it to you."

"Why are you blushing?" Yu Mingxiao teased with a laugh. "This Reverse Scale, could it be a token of our love?"

"No," Gu Yuena retorted quickly, "The Reverse Scale has the meaning of protection."

"You're getting impatient." Yu Mingxiao smiled nonchalantly, "Protecting me, huh? Then I'll treat it as a talisman. If I'm ever in danger, you'll have to come to my rescue."

Gu Yuena's ears burned slightly, but her face remained calm as she said indifferently, "As long as the Reverse Scale is on you, I can sense it."

"Then I'll remember that." Yu Mingxiao winked and said with a mischievous smile.

Gu Yuena turned her face away and snorted softly, "I'll remember it then. I didn't say it didn't count."

Yu Mingxiao said no more, focusing his mind on sensing the energy flowing within the Reverse Scale.

Unlike its initial silvery-white color, the interior has now transformed into nine colors—the purest and clearest nine-colored flowing light.

Each time Yu Mingxiao comprehends the energy within the Reverse Scale, it causes subtle changes in the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale, and at the same time, his own spiritual power is slightly enhanced.

Seeing him staring so intently at her so sensitive Reverse Scale, Gu Yuena's cheeks burned even hotter, and she felt both embarrassed and ashamed.

I inexplicably felt that my most private and intimate things had been seen through, and I felt uncomfortable as if I had been completely exposed.

Yu Mingxiao sank his mind into the depths of the Reverse Scale, letting the nine-colored radiance envelop his soul.

Suddenly, countless threads of light spread and diffused in his Sea of Consciousness, bright yet not dazzling, warm yet intense.

He felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through; many questions he hadn't understood before suddenly became clear.

One after another, the Light Laws took shape in his heart: the speed of light, the purification of light, the heat of light... all imprinted deep within his soul.

"This is... the Law of Light."

Yu Mingxiao slowly opened his eyes. The power of the Laws that was once unattainable was actually touched by him with this Silver Dragon Reverse Scale.

If we consider the Titled Douluo level, his current strength is at least Level 95.

However, his true Soul Power Level was only level seventy-five.

Perhaps, this Silver Dragon Reverse Scale can no longer be called the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale.

That last wisp of pure silver was being visibly and gradually stained and swallowed up by the nine colors.

Gu Yuena witnessed all the changes in the Reverse Scale. Seeing that it had completely transformed into nine colors, she said softly, "It mutated just because you glanced at it once more?"

"I was contemplating something, why don't you just say that looking at it for too long would cause an explosion?" Yu Mingxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Gu Yuena said, "You seem to have gotten a little stronger."

"I have already made initial progress in understanding the Law of Light," Yu Mingxiao replied.

"This Reverse Scale... it actually has this kind of use?" Gu Yuena murmured to herself, then paused and shook her head. "No, it's because of your own condition that it has this effect. Can I borrow that Reverse Scale for a while?"

As she spoke, she extended her delicate, jade-like hand.
