Xiao Chen originally wanted to invite these people over, offer them some benefits, and ask them to protect Qiu Shangxi.

But just now he suddenly realized that being too polite to these guys would not work at all!

In the ancient Chinese martial arts world, people believe in "the strong are respected", and this is definitely the case in South Korea!

If you want them to obey, you must first have the strength to make them obey!

Therefore, he didn't take action just because that guy said Qiu Shangxi was not worthy, but he wanted to show these guys that they should not think they are awesome just because they have some strength!

If you want to show off to him, you have to see if you have the ability to show off!

Otherwise, that guy will be their fate!

As for their loyalty... Xiao Chen doesn't care much, he has a way to control them!

"Who the hell are you?"

The man who had just spoken looked at Xiao Chen and asked in a deep voice.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Chen chuckled and asked.

"Jin Shixiang!"

The man said slowly.

"Oh, Mr. Jin, I'm from China."

Xiao Chen put out his cigarette.

"Mr. Jin is at the peak of the late Dark Energy stage, right?"

"Are you Chinese?"

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the faces of the people present changed slightly.

"That's right."

Xiao Chen nodded, looking a little amused as he thought of something.

"Why, everyone here doesn't think that ancient martial arts are something from your country and were later introduced to China?"

“…”

Hearing this, Jin Shixiang and the others felt a little embarrassed.

Even though South Korea keeps making a fuss all the time, saying everything belongs to South Korea, people in the ancient martial arts world here know very clearly that, in comparison, the gap between South Korea's ancient martial arts world and China's ancient martial arts world is too big!

"Haha, just a joke, don't mind it."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Mr. Xiao, are you bullying me because there is no one in the ancient martial arts world of Bang? When he came just now, he severely injured Mr. Han."

Jin Shixiang stared at Xiao Chen and his voice turned cold.

"Heavy hands? Does that count? If he wasn't the one Lao Huang invited back today, he would be dead."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

"As for saying that there is no one in your country's ancient martial arts world... well, although you may get angry if I tell you the truth, it is true... it's not good."

Bang!

Jin Shixiang slammed the table and stood up.

"I'd like to learn from Mr. Xiao's strength!"

"Okay, but if you lose, then we can sit down and have a good chat, how about that?"

Xiao Chen smiled. It seems that he still has to rely on strength to suppress them!

"good!"

Jin Shixiang nodded, and his fighting spirit rose as he put his ancient martial arts skills into practice.

"bring it on!"

"hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled, with a hint of murderous intent, like a sword drawn from its sheath, slashing towards Jin Shixiang's fighting spirit.

Almost instantly, Jin Shixiang's rising fighting spirit was cut off and shattered.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Shixiang's face changed drastically, his body trembled violently, and he fell down on the chair.

He looked at Xiao Chen with a look of horror. How could this be possible!

Although Xiao Chen had just killed Han Pengfei with one punch, which surprised him, he felt that Xiao Chen was very strong.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Chen would be so strong and terrifying!

He had no doubt that if the two of them really fought, it would only take Xiao Chen a thought to kill him!

The expressions of the other five people also changed, and they all looked at Jin Shixiang.

"Fists and feet have no eyes. I think... it's better not to do it."

Xiao Chen looked at them and said with a smile.

“I lost.”

Jin Shixiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke slowly.

"Are you a master of Hua Jin?"

"What?"

"Is he a master of Hua Jin?"

"How is this possible!?"

"How can there be such a young person's power!"

The faces of several people changed again, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it.

"I'm not Hua Jin."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"We are at the same level."

"impossible!"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jin Shixiang seemed to be stimulated and shook his head.

"You can't be at the peak of the late Dark Energy stage."

"Haha, it's true."

Xiao Chen smiled, circulated his mental skills, and revealed the aura of ancient martial arts.

"However, my combat power is far beyond the peak of the late stage of Dark Energy."

"this……"

Jin Shixiang and others widened their eyes. Can he fight across borders?

"Okay, let's sit down and talk."

Xiao Chen sat down and lit another cigarette.

"As long as you are willing to be Qiu Shangxi's bodyguard and protect her safety, in addition to the peak of the late dark energy, I can let you upgrade to a higher realm! Of course, you must have encountered a bottleneck. If you haven't reached the bottleneck, I will also provide various training resources! As for the peak of the late dark energy..."

When he said this, he looked at Jin Shixiang and the other person.

"You two, I can teach you a supplementary mental method that will allow you to reach great perfection sooner, and then your combat power will increase by at least 30%!"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jin Shixiang and others were stunned at first, and then their eyes widened.

Improve to a higher level?

Combat power increased by 30%?

How is this possible!

"Old Huang, let them see your current realm."

Xiao Chen said lightly while smoking a cigarette.

"good."

Huang Can nodded, circulated his mental skills, and his momentum rose.

"The peak of the late dark energy period?"

The one who spoke was Jin Shixiang, who was very surprised.

"What? Huang Can, when did you... become a peak of the late Dark Energy stage?"

"Yes, weren't you at the peak of the middle stage of Dark Energy before?"

Several other people were also very surprised.

"Well, I used to be at the peak of the middle stage of Dark Energy, and then Mr. Xiao... used a secret method to raise my level to the late stage of Dark Energy!"

Huang Can nodded and said.

Before Jin Shixiang and the others could recover from his words, he continued, "After I followed Miss Qiu, she used the Nine Stars Gang's channels to find me various cultivation resources, so my cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds... I have reached the bottleneck of the late Dark Energy stage. I am only one step away from reaching the peak of the late Dark Energy stage! We are all cultivators, and we should all know that although it is only one step away, sometimes it takes several years or even decades to achieve this step!"

"That's right."

Jin Shixiang nodded.

"It took me five years to break through the bottleneck... You just said that you were in the late stage of Dark Energy and encountered a bottleneck, so how could you become the peak of the late stage of Dark Energy..."

When Jin Shixiang said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Chen fiercely. Could it be him again?

"It was Mr. Xiao who helped me break through the bottleneck and enter a new realm!"

Huang Can said gratefully.

Although Jin Shixiang already had some guesses, he was still shocked and couldn't believe it when he heard Huang Can say this.

He can actually help others improve their realm?!

Not only him, but several others were also shocked, even more than Xiao Chen who crippled Han Pengfei and defeated Jin Shixiang with one punch!

Just now Xiao Chen said that they didn't quite believe it, but Huang Can's example was right in front of them, and they had no choice but to believe it!

They all know what Huang Can’s previous strength was!

"As long as you eat this and promise to protect Qiu Shangxi, I can make you stronger!"

Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Chen took out the porcelain bottle and placed it on the table.

"What's this?"

Jin Shixiang looked at the porcelain bottle on the table, suppressed his surprise, and asked.

"poison."

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"What? Poison?"

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jin Shixiang and others' faces changed again.

"Well, this poison is called 'Fifteen Heartbroken Powder'..."

Xiao Chen nodded and explained the effect of the Fifteen Heartbreak Powder without hiding anything.

This was what he had thought of before. Only by letting the masters of the Bang country take the Fifteen Broken Heart Powder could their loyalty be guaranteed to the greatest extent! Otherwise, he would not be at ease!

Of course, he would not force them to eat. It was up to them to eat or not. If they didn’t want to, they could leave!

As long as they take the Fifteen Heart-Breaking Powder, their lives will be tied to Qiu Shangxi's life!

If anything happens to Qiu Shangxi, they will die too!

In this way, if one day the United States really sends experts here, they will be able to withstand the pressure and not run away!

Moreover, this is just one of the means. Control them first, and Qiu Shangxi will definitely not treat them unfairly in the future... Over time, they will be like Huang Can and will not have any other thoughts!

When that time comes, it’s not impossible to give them the antidote!

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jin Shixiang and others' faces changed.

"Old Huang, did you also take the Fifteen Heartbroken Powder?"

Someone looked at Huang Can and asked.

"Um."

Huang Can nodded.

"I ate it too. As long as I don't have any other thoughts, this poison won't have any effect... Miss Qiu is also very good to me. I am willing to protect her with my life!"

Although he ate it to save his life, he definitely couldn't say this at this time.

"If you take this poison, you're just handing your life over to someone else!"

Someone frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Haha, you are free to choose. I will not force you... We Chinese have a saying, 'There is no free lunch in the world'. If you want to improve your realm and enjoy various cultivation resources, you have to pay a little! After three years, I will give you the antidote!"

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"Can you really increase my combat power by 30%?"

Jin Shixiang looked at Xiao Chen with a complicated tone.

"certainly."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Not only will it improve by 30%, I will also teach you some combat skills!"

"Okay, then I'll take a gamble!"

Jin Shixiang looked at Xiao Chen deeply, picked up the porcelain bottle on the table, poured out a pill, and swallowed it into his mouth.

"You won't regret making this decision."

Xiao Chen smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"From now on, we are our own people."

Jin Shixiang nodded and shook hands with Xiao Chen.

After hesitating for a while, the others also picked up the porcelain bottle and swallowed the Fifteen Heartbreak Powder.

"hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled. He was not surprised by this result.

The practice of ancient martial arts in South Korea is so scarce that it is far behind that of the island countries.

Now that they can improve their strength, of course they are willing to do so, even if it means... taking poison!

Huang Can also breathed a sigh of relief. Although their arrival might reduce the resources for cultivation, as Xiao Chen said, it would be safer with more people.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Qiuzi first... By the way, whoever is stuck at the bottleneck, I will help him improve his realm later."

Xiao Chen looked at them and said.
