Dragon's reverse scale

Dragon's reverse scale (龙逆鳞) is a special weapon made from dragon scales. Just as there are Green and Blue dragons, there are also Green dragon reverse scales (青龙逆鳞) and Blue dragon reverse scales (苍龙逆鳞).

As discussed in the article dragon, depending on translation, azure dragons can refer to either green or blue dragons. To avoid confusion, the terms green and blue dragon are used, with blue being more powerful.

## Description

The legends said that a dragon's scales grew along with them from birth, never shedding. There was only one exception: that was a scale that grew in reverse. It was located under their necks, and that was where all the dragon's heart blood converged. It was also their weak point.

This reverse scale was a forbidden area to dragons. No one had better touch it, or the dragon's majestic fury would cause a bloodbath throughout the nine heavens, creating corpses throughout ten thousand miles.

Those were all things that Long Chen had heard in legends. But Long Chen had never imagined he would see a green dragon's scale, let alone its reverse scale.

This legendary reverse scale was connected to the dragon's heart blood. After being nourished for a long time by that heart blood, it gained its own miraculous powers.

Provoking a reverse scale can cause it to release its powerful dragon might, which can be used as a weapon in battle. But to subdue a reverse scale, using brute force is an impossibility. One must use your will to subdue it, or it will never allow you to control it.

## Ranks

There are green and blue reverse scales, corresponding to green dragons (青龙) and blue dragons (苍龙). Blue scales are stronger.

When a dragon advanced ranks, its scales would all change color. Only this reverse scale would not change color. Instead, it would shed, and they would grow a new reverse scale.

This reverse scale in front of Long Chen was from the dragon's first transformation. In other words, this was the weakest reverse scale of all reverse scales.

But just this weakest reverse scale caused Long Chen's flesh to explode and make his soul feel like it was being torn apart. Furthermore, an involuntary feeling of subservient allegiance arose within him.

He trusted that the barbarian race expert hadn't known the taboos regarding a dragon's reverse scale. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that Long Chen should subdue it.

However, in truth, that barbarian race expert really did know a bit about dragon reverse scales, and he truly had heard of people subduing them. But what he didn't know was that those dragon reverse scales were different from this one. This one could not possibly be subdued.

## Subduing the scale

To subdue a reverse scale, using brute force is an impossibility. One must use your will to subdue it, or it will never allow you to control it.

If a peerless expert wanted to rely on their powerful cultivation base to forcibly subdue it, it would automatically explode. Although it was just a shed scale, a dragon's dignity would not allow anyone to step on it.

The dragon scales the barbarian race expert had heard of were actually from some mix-blood dragons, not pure-blood true dragons.

A true dragon's scale contained its pride, and it would not submit to brute force. It was only because Long Chen had managed to sense this that he had switched methods.

When his will had clashed with it, Long Chen had realized that the dragon scale's will was similar to his own in that it would not surrender to any power.

Neither the dragon might nor his will were able to subdue the other. Instead, there was actually a slight resonance due to the similarity between their wills.

That was why Long Chen had given up on suppressing it and tried using his will to connect with it. As a result, this gentle method had worked, and the dragon scale hadn't rejected him.

It had connected to his soul now. It hadn't even taken that long for that scale to be moved emotionally by Long Chen. It had now voluntarily merged into his body.

It was different from weapons. A dragon scale could not be placed in a spatial ring due to their pride. They could only merge with a person's body.

As long as Long Chen wished it, it would come out of his body and move according to his desires. It was just like a part of his body.

## Trivia
