"Acknowledge me as your master?" Jin Dongguo's complexion changed suddenly.

Jin Dongguo had agreed to the wager without ever considering he might lose, but now he actually had lost.

"Hmph, you ambushed me, that doesn't count," Jin Dongguo said, his old face flushing as he tried to renege.

"You could make another choice, which is to die," Lin Chen said coolly.

Jin Dongguo's eyes flickered uncertainly as Lin Chen continued, "Your cultivation has been stagnant for decades, hasn't it!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Jin Dongguo's face subtly changed, "How did you know that?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Acknowledge me as your master, and I can help you break through the bottleneck, letting your cultivation immediately advance to an SSS-tier martial artist and break through the Golden Core to reach Nascent Soul strength."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, a trace of ecstasy appeared on Jin Dongguo's face.

Jin Dongguo was a cultivation fanatic, but no matter how hard he tried, his cultivation had long been stuck at this stage, always unable to break through this bottleneck.

Jin Dongguo's gaze flickered and he finally took a deep breath, "If you can really help me break the bottleneck, I can acknowledge you as my master."

Watching Jin Dongguo's expression, Lin Chen sneered inwardly, well aware of Jin Dongguo's intentions. Jin Dongguo just wanted to trick his way through, having Lin Chen help him break the bottleneck first, without any real intention of acknowledging a master.

However, Lin Chen didn't mind and said to Jin Dongguo, "Lift your head and look into my eyes."

Surprised, Jin Dongguo met Lin Chen's gaze, when suddenly a strand of golden light shot into Jin Dongguo's eyes.

"Ah!"

Jin Dongguo cried out in shock.

Although his power was slightly superior to Lin Chen's, he was already severely injured and his spirit was unstable, so when Lin Chen suddenly used the Soul Capturing Technique, he offered only slight resistance before being captured.

After a brief struggle, clarity returned to Jin Dongguo's eyes.

He struggled to his feet and knelt before Lin Chen, "Master."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "From today, you are my second disciple, Apostle Jin Long."

"Yes!" Jin Dongguo nodded vigorously, his face full of devotion.

Lin Chen passed a bottle of healing potion exchanged from the Human Energy Mall to Jin Dongguo, "Drink this, it can heal your injuries."

"Yes!" Jin Dongguo obediently drank the potion.

To Jin Dongguo's astonishment, after drinking the potion, he felt a green energy traversing his body, and his wounds were healing rapidly.

This is impossible! The events unfolding before him were beyond his comprehension.

"Thank you, Master!" Seeing his wounds completely healed, a dumbfounded look still covered Jin Dongguo's face.

Lin Chen nodded and continued, "The reason your cultivation has been stagnant is because one of your meridians was blocked. I have now cleared it for you, and you can quickly break through the bottleneck."

"Is this true?" Jin Dongguo's face was filled with ecstasy. Though subdued by Lin Chen using the Soul Capturing Technique, his desire to become a stronger martial artist remained unchanged.

Jin Dongguo sat cross-legged on the ground as Lin Chen's fingers swiftly tapped a few acupoints on his back.

Suddenly, Jin Dongguo's vision brightened, and he felt a massive energy surge throughout his body.

"Now you may," Lin Chen said as he stood up and stepped back a few paces.

"Whew!" Jin Dongguo exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Boom!

A tremendous energy burst forth from Jin Dongguo.

An ecstatic expression appeared on Jin Dongguo's face, "SSS, I've actually become an SSS-tier Nascent Soul martial artist."

SSS-tier martial artists were comparable to Nascent Souls, and Jin Dongguo's years of relentless cultivation had already met the conditions of an SSS-tier martial artist. Once Lin Chen opened his meridians, everything else naturally fell into place.

"East Country thanks Master." Jin Dongguo kneeled on one knee, his face still showing uncontrollable ecstasy.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen was even more delighted, having unexpectedly acquired an SSS-tier martial artist comparable to a Nascent Soul without paying much attention.

"Stand up, from now on, you'll follow me as my personal bodyguard," Lin Chen said with a smile, nodding his head.

"Yes!" Jin Dongguo nodded earnestly.

The atmosphere outside the Taekwondo hall was extremely tense, with both the Huaxia and Korean students staring intently at the door.

At that moment, Jin Dongjian had also awoken from his coma, his resentful gaze fixed coldly on the door: "Lin Chen, you are dead. Once grandfather makes a move, he will surely avenge me, breaking your limbs to relieve the hatred in my heart."

The Korean students seemed to see hope again, though limping, they were unusually arrogant.

"With Senior Jin Dongguo making a move, that arrogant Huaxia pig is as good as dead."

An Xiaodi watched the door nervously, silently praying in her heart: "Lin Chen, you mustn't get hurt, you have to come out safe and sound."

Finally, the door of the Taekwondo hall opened, and everyone's eyes were tightly fixed on the door.

Contrary to everyone's expectation, Lin Chen and Jin Dongguo came out side by side.

"How is that possible, Senior Jin Dongguo didn't cripple Lin Chen?"

"Did they end up fighting to a draw?"

The Korean students looked puzzled, and what shocked them even more was that Senior Jin Dongguo seemed very humble in front of Lin Chen.

At that moment, with a serious face, Jin Dongguo approached everyone: "I lost. From today onwards, Mr. Lin Chen is my master. From now on, you must never cause trouble in Huaxia, and must not disrespect Huaxia, or else don't blame me for being rude,"

Boom!

The Korean students were silent, everyone looking at Jin Dongguo with surprise,

"What's wrong with Senior Jin Dongguo? Has he lost his mind to talk such foolishness?"

Jin Dongjian, who had woken up from a coma, was even more confused: "Grandfather, what are you talking about? You are our Korean War God, how can you acknowledge a Huaxia pig as your master?"

Hearing Jin Dongjian's words, Jin Dongguo's face darkened as he strode over, his eyes icy, lifting Jin Dongjian off the ground: "Didn't you hear clearly what I just said?"

"Slap!" A loud slap landed on Jin Dongjian's face.

"It's me, Dongjian. Don't you recognize me?" Jin Dongjian, seeing stars, looked bewildered.

Jin Dongguo threw Jin Dongjian to the ground: "If you don't want to die, kneel immediately and call him master."

"What, you want me to call him master?" Jin Dongjian's face suddenly changed.

"I've already called him that, dare you not to? Call to save your life, refuse and you'll die," Jin Dongguo said icily.

At this time, Jin Dongjian was utterly dumbfounded. Is this still my grandfather?

However, feeling the murderous intent from Jin Dongguo, Jin Dongjian shuddered and knelt trembling before Lin Chen.

"Jin Dongjian pays respects to the master."

Lin Chen smiled faintly and said, "Your voice is too soft, I can't hear."

"Slap!"

"You want to die, do you? Call out loudly," Jin Dongguo slapped Jin Dongjian's face again.

"Jin Dongjian pays respects to the master!" Jin Dongjian could no longer care about his pride, and called out loudly.

Jin Dongjian, always obeying his grandfather, and since his grandfather had recognized Lin Chen as the master, though still reluctant, he had to accept this reality.

Lin Chen nodded, tossing a bottle of medicine to Jin Dongguo. "Give this to your grandson to drink; it will help him recover."

"Thank you, master." Receiving the medicine, Jin Dongguo's face lit up with joy, as Jin Dongjian was his grandson, the hope of their Jin family, and he certainly didn't want to see Jin Dongjian spend the rest of his life bedridden.

The Korean crowd was completely dumbfounded by this scene. They never expected that Jin Dongguo and his grandson, who had always been hostile towards Huaxia, would acknowledge a Huaxia youth as their master.

How is this possible?

Am I dreaming?

At that moment, a man with glasses in the crowd turned pale, turning to sneak away.

However, Jin Dongguo's icy voice suddenly resonated: "An Zaihe, where do you think you're going?"
