Your son-in-law is here

It was at this time that Zhou Yi remembered that the reason why Lord Jiang appeared was to let him choose the new "star".

So what exactly is this star that could make Lord Jiang show up in person to give him advice?

Zhou Yi focused his perception on the star and asked, "This ball of light should come from the ninth floor of the Central Palace."

Lord Jiang smiled gently: "Smart, it is indeed a reward from the ninth floor. I want to tell you here that the rules of the Central Palace have been set long ago and have become rules that even I cannot violate. That is, everyone can only take one treasure."

"Once you take it away, the rules will be triggered and you will be expelled from the Central Palace. However, since you are on the eighth floor, I can allow you to choose treasures from the ninth floor. I can still do this."

Zhou Yi nodded, but couldn't help complaining in his heart, is this because he is afraid that I will ask for more? Although he did have such an idea,

He has a heavy task to accomplish, so it's only right that he be given some sweet treats to enhance his strength. Unfortunately, Lord Jiang predicted it in advance.

However, Zhou Yi was satisfied to be able to choose the ninth-level treasure. He focused his perception on the ball of light and obscure information was transmitted into his mind.

Then Zhou Yi's expression changed.

The message is simple: there is a treasure inside the ball of light.

It's called the Rule Balance.

Its appearance is a simple balance, so simple that it can even be called a seesaw, except that it has two trays and six weights.

The colors are slightly different, specifically one gold weight, two black weights, and three white weights.

Zhou Yi had never seen such a thing, but he had heard of the name of the Balance of Rules because it was an ancient treasure.

In the Record of the Ten Thousand Forbidden Ancient Treasures, it is numbered as Gu-51.

Even though it's ranked relatively low, this is an ancient treasure. Even the last-ranked Gu-72 can easily affect high-level masters, and its appearance will drive the entire martial arts world crazy.

Moreover, for Zhou Yi now, this treasure is even more useful to him than the Three Thousand Armors. After all, no matter how powerful the Three Thousand Armors are, Zhou Yi now cannot bring out their full power. But the balance of rules is different. Not to mention Zhou Yi now, even when he was a first-grade grandmaster, he could use it fully.

This is because this treasure is a very special existence among ancient treasures and involves rules.

"Do you know the function of this treasure?" asked Lord Jiang.

Zhou Yi nodded: "I only know the basics, not very deep, so please teach me, Master Jiang."

Lord Jiang thought for a moment and said, "The Rule Scale has only one function, and that is to downgrade the opponent's realm."

"For example, a first-grade master facing a third-grade master would not be a match under normal circumstances. But if the third-grade master drops to the first-grade realm, does he have a chance?"

"When fighting with others, as long as you take out the Scale of Rules, it will automatically lock onto your opponent and pull him in. Even a high-level Grandmaster cannot escape this lock."

"Then it's like you and your opponent are standing on opposite ends of a scale. If your opponent is stronger than you, then the scale will naturally tilt towards him. At this time, you need the help of weights."

"One weight can lower the opponent's realm by one level!"

"White weights correspond to low-level masters, black weights correspond to mid-level masters, and gold weights correspond to high-level masters."

"That is to say, if your opponent is a third-grade master and you use three white weights on him, his realm will be directly reduced to warrior, and you can easily defeat him."

"Of course, the golden weights and the black weights can also be used against a third-grade master, but it's a bit of an overkill."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi's face turned extremely interesting. With this treasure, wouldn't he be invincible in the Suzaku Secret Realm?

In his eyes, these so-called third-grade great perfections were just warriors, and he could crush them to death with one hand.

Lord Jiang continued, "The only limitation of the Rule Scale is that you cannot cross the line and downgrade. For example, if you are facing a sixth-rank master, the only weights that will work on him are gold and black."

"After using one gold and two black weights, this sixth-grade master's realm has been reduced to the third grade, making him a low-grade master. However, continuing to use the white weights at this time will have no effect."

"Similarly, when facing a seventh-grade Grandmaster, you only have one golden weight that is effective. After lowering him to the sixth grade, even though he is in the range of a mid-grade Grandmaster, the black weight has no effect."

Zhou Yi nodded, but whether the fifth-grade master was demoted to the third grade or to a warrior, the impact was actually not that big.

The most important thing is that there are not enough golden weights!

After Zhou Yi pointed out this drawback, Lord Jiang couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "Too little? Don't be too greedy."

"You have to know that if there is one more golden weight, then the number of this Rule Scale in the Wanbao Records will be either Ancient-1 or Ancient-. The rules of the universe simply do not allow this to happen."

"When the Rule Balance was created, the weights were automatically generated, so it was impossible for there to be an extra gold one."

A ninth-rank master was directly demoted to the seventh-rank. This was indeed outrageous. Zhou Yi thought about it and accepted it calmly.

Lord Jiang added: "The main reason why I gave you this treasure is to enable you to deal with those black-robed men, and to have a certain degree of self-protection against masters before you fully grow up."

"But I'm not telling you to crush your peers. So, except for dealing with the black-robed man, you can't use the Scales of Rules to win in the Suzaku Secret Realm. You can't even use it against your peers after you get out."

“You have to have your own confidence.”

Zhou Yi nodded: "Of course I understand. I am invincible among my peers, so I naturally disdain to use the balance of rules to defeat them."

Lord Jiang laughed: "Well, you are worthy of being a sealer!"

"I hope you are confident, but not proud, because the growth path of sealers in previous generations is not easy. Even after fully growing up, they need to be low-key and hide their talents."

"This is actually the most difficult thing for people like you who are gifted. Sometimes it's not pride, it's just normal behavior, but it often brings you fatal disasters."

“So you must remember this!”

Zhou Yi said: "The Nine-Layered Pagoda also said that, I understand."

Of course, he can't keep a low profile now, but he can continue to keep a low profile after leaving the Suzaku Secret Realm.

Because the Nine-Layered Pagoda gave him a good thing, the perfect mask that he had used before in the Sword Alliance ruins. When wearing the perfect mask, even a high-level master would not be able to find any flaws.

Lord Jiang was extremely satisfied with Zhou Yi. He patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I have explained everything I should explain. I hope you can grow up."

"Become the pillar of the martial arts world and complete your mission..."

Before Lord Jiang finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, his face changed, and his eyes suddenly looked towards the void.

After a moment, an angry voice sounded: "These lackeys are so bold that they actually took action directly."

"Zhou Yi, go and carry out your mission. I will send the others out and will not let your secret be discovered."
