Chapter: 1589

Leaf Chen looked at Ito Na Na and asked her, "If you don't participate in any competitions from now on, would you give up improving, even abandoning martial arts?"

Ito Na Na replied immediately, "Of course not! Even if I don't participate in any competitions, I won't abandon martial arts!"

Leaf Chen smiled and said, "That's it. You love martial arts, not using martial arts to defeat others. So, winning or losing is of no great importance. Even if you lose a competition or win no awards, what's the big deal? As long as you're true to your heart's passion for martial arts, that's enough."

Ito Na Na nodded slightly and bowed deeply, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Leaf Chen. Ito Na Na understands now!"

Leaf Chen said, "Let's work hard tomorrow, regardless of whether we win or lose. Just show off our best selves."

As she finished speaking, she thought back to the semifinals when Leaf Chen looked at her with a mix of heartache and happiness in his eyes. She had filled her heart with questions: "Leaf Chen, was my performance in the previous match good?"

When Leaf Chen brought up the previous match, he thought about her being repeatedly hit by the opponent on the ring, constantly getting hurt. He couldn't help but feel a few pangs of worry.

So, he said seriously: "I think your performance in the previous match was really great. I'm not quite clear about why you kept giving your opponents opportunities to attack. Your skills were superior to theirs, and if you had started fighting back from the beginning, you might not have gotten hurt as badly. What's the reason behind that?"

Ito Na Na blushed and said: "Actually, at that time I was trying my best to get a knockout win, so I kept letting them attack me to find their weaknesses."

Leaf Chen was taken aback: "In competitions, winning is good enough. Why do you need to get the knockout victory?"

From Leaf Chen's perspective, Ito Na Na's pursuit of the knockout victory was very different from Qin Ao Xue's.

Qin Ao Xue had significantly improved her overall skills and now had the ability to get a knockout victory, so it wasn't a big deal for her. In fact, it could be said that she was doing it effortlessly.

However, Ito Na Na's strength was strong compared to her opponent Michelle, but she wasn't strong enough to knock out her opponent on her own, so she effectively set herself up with an extremely challenging task.

If she hadn't insisted on taking the hardest route, she wouldn't have gotten hit by her opponent multiple times during the match.

Ito Na Na was even more embarrassed at this moment. She said sincerely: "I mainly hope to be able to impress Leaf Chen and make him look up to me"

Leaf Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.

He couldn't help but wonder if it was all for himself.

This girl, she's just too silly, right?

To make herself look up to me, she stands on the platform and lets her opponent keep punching? What if her opponent gets careless and inflicts a serious injury? Then what would happen?

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it just because you want me to take notice of you that you put yourself in such danger? Do you think it's worth it?"

"Worth it!" Ito Na Na declared resolutely and sincerely. "At some instant, when I'm on the platform, I see your eyes, Mr. Leaf Chen, and I don't know if I've misread the situation or not. But when I see that gaze of yours, in an instant, I feel like everything is worth it"

Leaf Chen didn't know what kind of gaze he had left for Ito Na Na at the time.

After all, he didn't have a mirror with him to see his own gaze.

But he did remember his own mood at the time.

At that moment, he was watching her being constantly hit by her opponent, and indeed, he was worried about it in his heart. JrNovels.com
