...
Holding a whole dragon essence, Shen Zhao completely shed his disguise, no longer pretending. His imposing aura and perfect physique made him stand proudly before everyone.
"Ding Bu'er!"
"Uncle Chen, I'm here!"
Ding Bu'er was so excited that he was incoherent, and he ran to Shen Zhao in a flash to show off his flattery.
He had seen Shen Zhao make a move at the Lu family's house last time and knew he was very strong.
He was so powerful that he was completely lawless, even turning an ancient five-clawed golden dragon into dust with a single punch.
This is a true master; we must cling to this powerful figure.
Their future wealth and prosperity will depend entirely on him.
Yu Xiyan covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes red as she looked at that familiar face, her heart pounding faster than ever.
She had already guessed that Liu Chengzhou was Shen Zhao, but when Shen Zhao actually stood in front of her, she was still overwhelmed with excitement.
Only Chu Yang was shocked by what he saw.
However, only Shen Zhao knew that this dragon was merely a remnant soul of a true dragon possessing a spirit python that had cultivated for a thousand years. If it were a true dragon, even with only four claws, it would be something that no one present except himself could contend with.
"Impossible! This can't be true!"
Clearly, Chu Yang was unwilling to believe that Liu Chengzhou possessed such dragon-slaying abilities.
Moreover, the dragon essence in his hand, about the size of a lead ball, was clearly a treasure for enhancing cultivation.
If it were given to myself, my cultivation level would definitely improve significantly.
"He must have used some trick to get this dragon essence, that must be it."
He felt intense jealousy.
Shen Zhao is incredibly powerful and more handsome than me. How can I, as the protagonist, be outdone?
Li Yudong was secretly relieved. He had decided to befriend Shen Zhao from the beginning, and now that he saw Shen Zhao's strength, he was even more determined to stick with this powerful figure so that he could show off to his heart's content when he got home.
However, Shen Zhao had no time to pay attention to what others were thinking.
He simply said to Ding Bu'er, "Collect the dragon scales on the ground; they are excellent materials for crafting magical artifacts."
"Alright, Master Chen!"
Ding Bu'er immediately began to clean up the battlefield as instructed by Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao glanced around at the stunned crowd, and when he saw Yu Xiyan's expression, he was taken aback, thinking to himself:
"What's wrong with you? What kind of expression is that? I'm not familiar with you in this life. Don't look at me like that. Go find your brother Lin Feng. He's your true love, your white moonlight."
At this moment, Chu Yang suddenly spoke up: "Liu Chengzhou, is that Dragon Essence in your hand?"
Shen Zhao: "Now, let me reintroduce myself to everyone. My real name is Liu Chengzhou. Liu Chengzhou is just a virtual account to keep you company and pass the time."
My real name is Shen Zhao, the Chief Executive Officer of the Court of Judgments, responsible for maintaining peace among the various sects and families of the Immortal Martial Continent.
Going against me is going against the judiciary. I advise you to abandon your petty thoughts and not make trouble for yourselves.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang immediately incited, "I don't care who you are, I only know that the Dragon Essence in your possession should be shared equally with all the cultivators present!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yizhou immediately chimed in, "That's right, His Highness the Ninth Prince is right. Everyone who sees it gets a share. Shen Zhao, you should share the Dragon Essence equally with everyone. Don't even think about keeping it all for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers and jeers.
"Yes, we chased this evil dragon all night, so we should also have a part in it."
"You want to keep the Dragon Essence all to yourself? Doesn't your conscience bother you?"
"Hurry up and distribute the Dragon Essence, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
Facing the jeering crowd, Shen Zhao simply smiled and said, "If I don't give it to you, what are you going to do about it?"
Tang Yizhou angrily said, "Shen Zhao, don't go too far! Are you trying to make an enemy of the entire righteous path by doing this?!"
Shen Zhao: "Are you saying that I, the judge, would collude with evil forces?"
Tang Yizhou: "When did I say that?"
"Since you didn't say so, does that mean you accept my arbitration association as the right path?"
"When did I ever consider your judiciary to be the right path?"
"So you still think that I, a judge, am some kind of evil heretic?"
"Stop trying to talk your way out of this, I'm not buying it."
"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush. I know you want the Dragon Essence, but please don't even think about it. Because I have no intention of giving it to you in the first place!"
Tang Yizhou was furious: "What do you mean!"
Shen Zhao said, "Want my Dragon Essence? Fine, if you can survive a single move against me, you'll be eligible for a share. Anyone want to try?"
In fact, the Dragon Essence had no effect on Shen Zhao whatsoever.
Since his rebirth, he felt that there was a big problem with his Qi Sea. He didn't even know what realm he was in. He had taken a lot of spiritual medicines, but they were all like stones sinking into the sea, and they were of no use at all.
However, if the Dragon Essence were given to Su Yunying, it would definitely greatly enhance her strength. Combined with the awakening of the Xuanhuang bloodline within her Chaos God and Demon Body, it wouldn't be long before Su Yunying would be at least a Quasi-Emperor and have a chance to enter the Heavenly Ranking.
Every hundred years, the Celestial Martial Continent issues a Heavenly Ranking from the Upper Heaven Realm, listing the strongest individuals across the continent.
For example, there are various heavenly rankings such as the Hundred Flowers Ranking, the Prodigy Ranking, the Sect Ranking, the National Dynasty Ranking, and the Spiritual Weapon Ranking.
Those who can enter the Heavenly Ranking are not only recognized for their strength, but also become figures admired by everyone in the Immortal Martial Continent.
With the Chaos God-Demon Body, Su Yunying will surely have a place on the Heavenly Ranking ten years from now.
Unlike her previous life, the current Empress Development Program is merely a way for Shen Zhao to pass the time and play around in life. She can terminate it at any time without worrying about being punished by the system.
