Taking a Master

Lin Yaodong patted his head: Here we go again, Big Brother is about to trick us again. I'd better slip away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Enraged, Isadora shouted, "You're asking for it!"

Ten seconds later, Isadora withdrew his previous angry and defiant gaze, his eyes now filled with fear and dread.

Chen Mo: "Compared to your current submissiveness, I still prefer your previous rebellious self."

Isadora was filled with rage, but he could only suppress it. Why? Because the knife pressed against his neck was too cold.

"Who exactly are you? And what is your relationship with Donglin?"

Hong's eyes were filled with nothing but wariness and fighting spirit towards this suddenly appearing peerless expert.

Since awakening his domain, Hong understood that Lin Yaodong could never be his opponent again. He was well aware of his current strength, and even became somewhat arrogant, thinking himself the only one worthy of respect.

I am now invincible.

Chen Mo calmly looked Hong up and down, then uttered, "Hong, you're really quite good. You awakened your domain so early. Not bad, really quite good."

Hong was startled.

How is that possible? How could he possibly know?

Hong couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"

Chen Mo: "I just happened to know about you."

Hong frowned, not understanding Chen Mo's meaning, and continued to ask, "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Mo looked at Hong seriously. "You know what? Actually, as soon as I came into this world, I wanted to find you and Thunder God, but unfortunately, you were already High-level War God by then, so I gave up on that idea."

Thunder God was a little confused: Why did this suddenly involve me?

Thunder God and Hong exchanged glances, then both looked at Chen Mo: "Looking for us? Why?"

Chen Mo: "Because I admire you both, I originally wanted to recruit you, but you were already strong enough to have your own paths and ideas, so I didn't bother you."

Thunder God chuckled, "Not bad, good eye. With Brother Hong and my talent, you can't argue with that."

Hong stared at Chen Mo: "So, you approached Donglin and then took Donglin as your disciple?"

"Ahem, he's my older brother."

Lin Yaodong coughed, but then explained, "However, I was indeed trained by my elder brother; you can understand it that way too."

At this moment, all four people, including Hong and Thunder God, were shocked.

Donglin is currently the strongest person in the world, and he was actually trained by this mysterious person in front of him. Just how strong must this mysterious person be?

Hong clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask how I should address you, senior?"

Chen Mo: "You can call me Chen Da. As for 'senior,' let's forget about that. Actually, you're all older than me."

Thunder God chimed in, "In the path of martial arts, those who have mastered it come first, regardless of age."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Oh, really? Would you be interested in becoming my disciple?"

Thunder God laughed heartily, "Why not? You are stronger than me and qualified to be my apprentice. Master, please accept my bow."

Thunder God didn't care about saving face and immediately knelt down on one knee to formally become Chen Mo's disciple.

Chen Mo: He truly has the Childlike Heart. As long as he maintains this mindset, his achievements will definitely be remarkable. There's a reason why Thunder God will become the Universe Master in the future.

Chen Mo smiled sincerely, "Okay, from today onwards, you are my disciple. I only have one requirement for my disciple: respect your teacher and the way, and never kill your fellow disciples."

As for whether you become a human, a ghost, a god, or a demon in the future, I won't care. As long as you don't go against your own heart, that's enough.

Hold onto this jade pendant; it's proof of your identity. As for these other things, consider them a gift from your master.

Thunder God accepted what Chen Mo gave him and said earnestly, "Yes, Master, this disciple will heed your teachings."

Thunder God put the Space Ring that Chen Mo had given him on his hand, and with a casual flick of his wrist, a drop of blood dripped onto the ring to signify its ownership.

Chen Mo had put a lot of treasures inside. After all, Chen Mo had made a fortune not long ago, so Chen Mo was very generous now.

Afterwards, Thunder God played with the jade pendant that Chen Mo had given him for a while.

The jade plaque is milky white throughout, with a pure color, clearly indicating it is made of high-quality jade. Furthermore, the plaque features mysterious patterns and lines.

The front of the box has three characters written on it: 'All Heavens' and 'Martial Arts'. The back of the box has four characters written on it: 'Inner Disciple'.

Thunder God then said with a grin, "Hehe, Master, is there any way for me to defeat Donglin quickly? I've been annoyed by his Bingbing for a long time, I have to give him a good beating."

Lin Yaodong glanced sideways. "Hmph, no respect for elders. He's my elder brother, and you're his apprentice. You have to call me 'Master Uncle' now."

"Ah?"

Thunder God reacted as expected, then looked at Lin Yaodong in disbelief, and then at Chen Mo, whose lips moved but no sound came out.

He's already formally become an apprentice; Thunder God wouldn't go back on his word now.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Defeating him is easy; you can do it once you've grasped the domain, just like Hong."

Thunder God: "A domain? What exactly is that?"

Chen Mo's eyes gleamed mischievously. "That's simple. Just spar with Hong and you'll see. Teaching you a hundred times is no substitute for experiencing it firsthand."

"Forehead."

Thunder God glanced at Hong somewhat awkwardly.

Hong didn't mind at all; in fact, he even hoped someone would challenge him so he could show off his expertise.

Hong said, "Since you have such a refined interest, senior, I wouldn't mind having a good spar with your disciple."

Thunder God: Ah! No! Yamedie!

A short while later, Thunder God was found huddled in a corner, covered in bumps and wiping away tears.

The scene seemed quite comical, but Lin Yaodong was filled with disbelief and apprehension.

Is this what a domain is?

It's many times stronger than the domains in the Douluo World. No wonder my older brother said that Thunder God would be able to defeat me after he comprehends a domain.

Now, it's time for the title of the world's strongest person to change hands.

After teaching Thunder God a lesson, Hong's fighting spirit did not disappear; instead, he looked at Chen Mo.

The meaning is quite clear: I want to fight you!

Seeing this, Lin Yaodong stood directly in front of Hong. The two faced each other, their bodies drawing closer and closer, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

As if by unspoken agreement, the two attacked simultaneously. Lin Yaodong and Hong exchanged blows, and the intensity of their fight grew as both sides gradually unleashed their full power. At this point, every move and Isshiki from both sides became a deadly attack.

About half an hour later, Lin Yaodong admitted defeat. In fact, even if the two of them were really fighting to the death, it would be easy for Hong to defeat Lin Yaodong, but it would not be easy to kill Lin Yaodong. Even if Lin Yaodong did not run away, it would take Hong more than two hours to do so.

There's no way around it, Lin Yaodong is just too resilient, and his health recovers so quickly...
