Chapter: 1537

The four ugly characters left by Hong Wujun on his forehead could be said to be his greatest shame in life, but it was also the most profound lesson he learned.

Before Ye Chen punched him out, Yamamoto Ichiro still felt himself to be a world-class martial arts master.

It wasn't until after being punched by Ye Chen that he realized he was just an insignificant ant on the path of martial arts.

Any true practitioner of martial arts has a certain spirit, even if they lose, most people can willfully accept defeat. There are also those who, even if they are killed in a competition and die just before their final breath, can still face it calmly.

Yamamoto Ichiro's chest was not as broad, but when he thought of Ye Chen's terrifying actual strength, his heart was filled with admiration.

At this moment, Ito Naoki looked at him with a sorrowful expression and said, "Master, I've already contacted my father. He will contact Tokyo's top hospitals and doctors to help you recover and treatment, and there will be a special plane coming tomorrow to take you back to Japan!"

"I won't go!" Yamamoto Ichiro's entire body was paralyzed, but he could only shake his head lightly.

At this moment, he said with a hoarse voice: "My injuries are impossible to cure for doctors, and I will not be able to compare favorably with this place after returning to Japan. As your master, I cannot leave you alone here. I want to accompany you to complete the competition and then return to Japan together."

Ito Naoki hurriedly said: "Master, this time it's possible that I won't be able to win the championship. After completing my match today, I looked at Qin Ao Xue's video recording, and her skills are much stronger than last time. Even when I face Joanna, a natural athlete with unparalleled abilities, it may take me a long time to overcome her through sheer willpower. But Qin Ao Xue can defeat Joanna with just one move. Her strength is already far beyond what I can compare with."

Yamamoto Ichiro let out a sigh: "I watched Qin Ao Xue's live broadcast on the hospital phone and online video platforms, and her current skills are indeed extremely powerful. Compared to last time, she has improved by several times! I really cannot imagine someone being able to achieve such tremendous progress in such a short period of time. It's simply overturning my cognition!"

Ito Naoki spoke seriously: "I think this should be related to her coach, Ye Chen, who just started coaching her during the last competition."

Yamamoto Ichiro thought of Ye Chen and felt a sense of admiration: "This Ye Chen is truly a martial arts master of our time! It seems that he is the legendary internal disciple from ancient Chinese martial arts. I used to think those stories were just rumors, but today I've finally realized the truth!"

To their side, Kobayashi Jiro opened his mouth and said: "I have studied ancient Chinese medical texts, and even in the earliest Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics, there is a discussion of internal energy. It has a special chapter on how to circulate internal energy within one's body. From this, it can be seen that the Chinese have been cultivating internal energy for thousands of years."

Yamamoto Ichiro said with a longing expression: "I really didn't expect that there was such a thing as internal energy in the world. If I had known about these things 10 or 20 years ago, I would definitely come to China, visit all the famous mountains and rivers, and seek out a true master to learn from him."

As Yamamoto Ichiro finished speaking, he let out a deep sigh: "Ah, what a pity, I've gained this understanding too late!"

He paused for a moment, and two hot tears began to flow down his face, accompanied by deep wrinkles.

Ito Nana noticed her master's pitiful state and couldn't help but shed tears as well.

At that time, Yamamoto Ichiro looked at her with eyes that carried a hint of warmth: "Nana! As of today, I've lost the qualification to be your teacher. If you hope to make greater breakthroughs in martial arts, you must find a way to become Ye Chen's student!"

"What?!" Nana exclaimed, her voice full of surprise: "Become his student?! I shouldn't! Nana will only have one master in her lifetime, and that is you! Besides you, Nana won't even consider becoming someone else's student!"

"Foolish!" Yamamoto Ichiro shouted angrily: "What can I teach you now? Even if I weren't a useless person, the skills I could impart to you have already been passed down to you. What's left is just some so-called practical experience."

"But look at my current state," he said, his eyes filled with sorrow: "You'll see that practical experience means nothing in front of a true master or absolute power. A small insect like me may have some fighting skills, but against another human, it's still no match for their single finger!"

"And Ye Chen has made me realize that I've been nothing more than an insect on the path of martial arts all along. As your teacher who has poured out my heart and soul to teach you, you're not yet as good as a blue dragon, proving that we're both just insects in the world of martial arts."

Yamamoto Ichiro's eyes burned with intensity as he asked Nana: "Nana, after nearly twenty years of delusion in martial arts, will you willingly become an insect too?"

Nana listened to this and clenched her teeth, saying each word deliberately: "Teacher, Nana won't be willing to be an insect!"

"Fine! Then go seek Ye Chen's guidance! Let him impart to you true martial arts, and only then will you have a chance to grow into a truly powerful warrior. Otherwise, I advise you to give up on so-called martial arts right now, because what we're pursuing is nothing but trash compared to Ye Chen!" JrNovels.com
