I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

As it turns out, Jiang Chao's choice was correct.

To avoid being snatched away by someone else, Jiang Chao chose to strike first.

Just as he and his sister Jiang Yunyao were working together swiftly to remove the scales, bones, and odor from the half-finished dragon tail and put it on the fire to roast it.

The six major sects and four great families could no longer hold back and, disregarding the dignity of their prestigious sects, began to launch a collective attack.

This group of righteous sects immediately spoke of upholding justice in the martial arts world and protecting the safety of the nation.

They righteously demanded that Jiang Chao hand over the remaining half of the dragon's tail so that they could deal with it together.

They were willing to exchange martial arts techniques and other cultivation resources.

It sounds fair and reasonable, after all, the legendary creature of the dragon is extremely rare. So far, it has only appeared once in the public eye in the past thousands of years.

If they had no ulterior motives, their desire to find the weaknesses of this dragon's remains so that they could reduce innocent casualties when such beasts reappear in the future would be quite plausible.

In fact, Jiang Chao had not originally intended to keep the dragon's tail for himself.

Although he had to exert all his strength to tear this item off the black dragon himself, he also benefited greatly from the exhilarating battle with the dragon.

Besides, Jiang Chao comes from a prestigious family and is not a stingy person, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

This piece is so large, weighing several thousand kilograms of dragon meat, that he couldn't possibly finish it all by himself. So he simply shared some with everyone for research, which didn't matter.

But since these people are so impatient, putting pressure on his sister Jiang Yunyao before he even came out, and now they're shamelessly using the greater good of the world to pressure him, there's nothing we can do.

He has bad teeth and always responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Since that's the case, let's just break off all pretense of civility.

That night, inside the Moon Goddess Palace's encampment.

"As you all can see, this thing is now roasting meat on the fire. What use would it be if I shared some with you now?"

Jiang Chao pointed to the piece of dragon meat that looked incredibly tender and delicious above the still-unlit fire, and said calmly:

"It's late, everyone, you've all arrived too late."

"...You stubborn brat! This thing is of extraordinary significance to the entire world. How could you be so selfish as to monopolize it and even plan to roast and eat it?"

"What a waste of resources! What a waste of resources!"

"How could you, a descendant of the martial arts grandmaster Jiang Shengren, behave like this?"

Seeing that the die was cast and the dragon's remains were in this state, everyone was filled with sorrow and regret.

They had originally planned to wait for the boy to come out, then try to persuade him with reason and emotion, hoping that they could get a close look at the complete remains of the dragon and study them carefully using their own methods.

Who would have thought that after the boy came out, he would destroy that precious item.

  

Now the dragon's remains are completely destroyed, and the parts that were removed, such as the dragon's bones and scales, have disappeared. All that's left is a piece of white, tender flesh, like a big fish in the water, sitting on a shelf. How can we study and explore this?

"hehe."

Faced with the heartbroken accusations from these veterans of the martial arts world, Jiang Chao smiled.

The boy laughed rather arrogantly.

Fortunately, he came up from below and, after hearing his sister Jiang Yunyao's description, acted decisively, leaving no chance for these powerful people.

Otherwise, he would have had a real hard time dealing with this barrage of criticism from everyone.

His father is not here now, and his sister's sect, Moon Goddess Palace, is one of the seven major sects that are holding this martial arts conference.

If not handled properly, it may put them in a difficult position as well.

Although her sister favored him, she couldn't disregard the reputation of the Moon Goddess Palace and deliberately offend other Xuanmen sects.

Judging from the attitude of the two elders of the Moon Goddess Palace, they did not want to antagonize the other forces present because of this half of the dragon's tail. However, they did not say much because Jiang Yunyao, the Holy Maiden of the Moon Goddess Palace, insisted on protecting her younger brother.

Now look what happened; his hunt has become roast meat waiting to be grilled over the fire.

As we all know, once a creature is roasted over a fire as food, it means that it is just a meal.

Ignoring the furious comments of the martial arts elders, Jiang Chao rubbed his fingers together, and as his true energy circulated, a ball of flame shot out from his fingertips.

Jiang Chao then threw it into the dry firewood.

With a loud bang, flames shot into the sky.

The bright firelight illuminated the ever-changing faces all around.

Previously, when he and his sister Jiang Yunyao and others dealt with the dragon's tail, they made quite a commotion, but this place was, after all, the camp of the Moon Goddess Palace, and they could not just barge in without permission.

After finally persuading the two elders of the Moon Goddess Palace to enter the camp surrounded by rows of tents, where no one could peek in, they witnessed this scene.

……

Aside from the thick, black scales on its outer layer being difficult to process, the flesh and blood beneath the skin of a dragon tail that has lost its nourishment is actually nothing special.

In Jiang Chao's view, they are not much different from snakes on land and fish in the water.

This indirectly proves that the black dragon that suddenly appeared was not highly cultivated and had not yet completed a profound transformation that befits the legendary power of a dragon.

It is more like a snake with thicker scales and harder bones, or an aquatic creature. The name "Jiaolong" sounds intimidating, its huge body looks frightening, and it can cause earth-shattering events and awe-inspiring momentum. However, it is still within the scope of flesh and blood.

Once the mythological veneer is stripped away, what remains is nothing more than prey to be hunted.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party is still young and has not yet awakened its innate supernatural abilities as a beast, or that the bloodline of the dragon clan is thin and has congenital deficiencies.

In short, no matter what, he's determined to eat the dragon meat now.

Oil sizzled on the grill, its aroma mingled with a peculiar fishy smell, spreading throughout the air.

Apart from a few high-ranking Xuanmen masters, everyone else present, including the four representatives of martial arts families and their core disciples, couldn't help but swallow hard, their Adam's apples bobbing.

He looked like he couldn't resist trying it.

Jiang Chao took in the changes in their expressions out of the corner of his eye.

The boy chuckled to himself.

Those who practice martial arts have never had a strong resistance to highly nourishing substances.

The ultimate goal of any martial arts technique practiced by a martial artist is to temper their physique, enabling their flesh and blood body, the vessel of martial arts, to accommodate more true qi and store more blood and energy.

Therefore, any highly nourishing food is irresistible to martial artists unless they have cultivated to a certain level.

As for the high-ranking disciples of the Xuanmen... He glanced at the people from the other six major Xuanmen sects and found that apart from the eight Xuanmen masters who seemed to be quite detached from worldly desires, the other disciples also looked greedy, which made him even happier.

Interesting, really interesting.

Jiang Chao flipped the meat over the fire, then turned and beckoned to the young Taoist priest sitting cross-legged not far behind him, making hand gestures and muttering something.

"Brother Zhao, stop meditating. The meat is almost done roasting. Come and have a taste with us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji remained unmoved, still absorbed in his cultivation.

Seeing that the other person was so shy and embarrassed to eat meat in public, Jiang Chao could only shake his head helplessly.

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, the young man drew his long sword from his waist, easily sliced ​​off a piece of roasted meat, and threw it at Zhao Wuji.

"Brother Zhao, catch!"

"As the saying goes, 'Donkey meat on earth, dragon meat in heaven.' This dragon, though not quite a dragon, is no ordinary beast. Eating its meat might greatly enhance your power, Brother Zhao!"
