Chapter 2685: Entrustment

When Ito Yuhiko was young, he was actually a very martial youth.

He was the batch of Asian young men who were deeply influenced by Bruce Lee in the 1970s and 1980s.

Ito Nanako was influenced by him, so she was obsessed with martial arts since she was a child.

And Ito Yuhiko had always been very willing to invest in this hobby of his daughter. Since she was a child, he had invited the best karate masters, the best Sanda and fighting masters in Japan to teach Nanako together.

Nanako also showed extraordinary talent in the process of learning these external skills.

When Nanako was fifteen years old, those famous masters in Japan had already taught her everything they had learned in their lives. At that time, Ito Yuhiko hoped to find an opportunity for Nanako to learn internal skills.

In Japan, the only two related to internal skills are ninjutsu and swordsmanship.

Ninjutsu is despicable after all, not suitable for a lady like Nanako, and swordsmanship pays attention to the extraordinary realm of the unity of man and sword. Once the sword is left, the combat ability will be greatly reduced. Moreover, Nanako doesn't like dancing with guns and swords, so she is in a state of stagnation in martial arts.

Later, Ito Yuhiko came out of the mountain himself and invited Yamamoto Kazuki, the number one master in Japan, to be Nanako's teacher, which allowed Nanako's martial arts to go further.

However, Yamamoto Kazuki was also an external master after all, so Ito Yuhiko tried to let Ito Nanako learn Chinese Martial Dao.

But at that time, the Chinese Martial Dao practitioners he could contact were basically Martial Dao families like the He family. For such Martial Dao families, the incomplete Martial Dao mental cultivation method was the foundation of their family's prosperity for a hundred years, so no matter what, no one was willing to pass the mental cultivation method to outsiders, so after hitting a wall several times, Ito Yuhiko had to give up this idea.

However, how could he have imagined that his daughter would become a true Martial Dao practitioner in such a short time!

Facing Ito Yuhiko's astonishment, Nanako said truthfully, "Otosan, daughter can become a Martial Dao practitioner so quickly, thanks to the pill that Ye Chen-kun gave daughter to take, plus daughter's little coincidence, only then did she find the way to break through in such a short time..."

Ye Chen smiled, "I don't dare to take credit for this. Being able to master the foundation of Martial Dao so quickly is absolutely Nanako's talent."

Ito Yuhiko asked curiously, "Nanako, what exactly is the coincidence that allowed you to master the method of Martial Dao so quickly?"

Nanako didn't hide anything, so she narrated the words she said to Qin Aoxue today in detail.

Ito Yuhiko was shocked and fascinated, opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but ask, "This... this seems a bit too mysterious? Can... can people really find that feeling of soul out of body?"

Nanako nodded, "I didn't dare to believe it before, but after trying it myself, I found that feeling of separation between man and god. The threshold of Martial Dao is internal observation, and people's consciousness itself is in the body, and the two belong to a symbiotic state, just like a magnifying glass, the lens and the handle are born as one. Although the lens can magnify everything, it cannot magnify itself. But if the lens is hard removed from the handle, the magnifying glass is no longer that magnifying glass. People are even more so. If there is no method, I am afraid that only when they are dying will the consciousness separate from the body."

Saying that, Nanako added, "So, the difficulty of Martial Dao is how to separate the consciousness from the body in a controllable and safe way without damaging oneself. Only by doing this step can it be possible to achieve internal observation. So I thought of that method, assuming that my consciousness fell from a high place, quickly finding that safe feeling of dying. Originally, I just tried it out of curiosity, but I didn't expect it to really succeed..."

Ye Chen didn't say a word, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Being able to think of this method, Nanako is indeed a genius in martial arts..."

Ito Yuhiko was shocked and fascinated after hearing it, and couldn't help but murmur, "I never dreamed that Martial Dao would be so mysterious... Youth is so good, if I were still a young man, I would try my best to try it no matter what!"

Nanako smiled, "Otosan, as long as you are willing to take action, it's never too late!"

"No, no." Ito Yuhiko waved his hand with a smile, sighing, "Martial Dao is too bitter, and the journey is too long. I don't want to start learning new things again at the age of fifty. After all, life is only a few decades, and at most it's only 30,000 days."

Saying that, Ito Yuhiko shook his head and smiled, "People, they should do specific things at specific stages. Pursue self-worth in their twenties, pursue career in their thirties and forties, and pursue happiness in their fifties and sixties. Since Mr. Ye helped my legs regenerate, I only live for happiness for the rest of my life."

Ye Chen smiled, "Mr. Ito, once you enter the door of Martial Dao, the length of life cannot be viewed with previous eyes."

After saying that, he said very seriously, "Even ordinary Martial Dao practitioners can live to a hundred years old without any problem. If the talent is enough and they can enter the Dark Realm, a hundred years old is easy. If the cultivation can be higher, two hundred years old is not a problem. Moreover, two hundred years is not the end. If they can reach the peak, I am afraid that their lifespan will be stretched longer... and..."

Ito Yuhiko was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his expression fell into a daze.

He pursed his lips, looked at Ye Chen, then at Nanako, and after a while, suddenly filled a cup of sake without a sound, then stood up with the wine glass, his expression grateful, melancholy, and extremely solemn, "Mr. Ye, it seems that Nanako has really embarked on a long and endless road this time... She is my only child, but at my age, I am destined not to accompany her too far. I entrust her to you today, hoping that you can accompany her for fifty years, one hundred years, one hundred and fifty years, or even longer! Please!"

Saying that, he held the wine glass to Ye Chen with both hands, bowed ninety degrees, and didn't move.

Nanako was originally very happy to find the breakthrough method, but she didn't expect her father to think of this level.

After being in contact with Ye Chen for a long time, she also knew that once a person goes far enough on the road of Martial Dao, his lifespan will definitely be long enough.

By then, the elders, peers, and even juniors around him will leave him one by one, leaving him alone on this lonely road, walking further and further, and colder and colder.

In the long road of decades or even longer, if there is a like-minded person to accompany each other, the loneliness will naturally be reduced a lot.

She knew that it was precisely because her father realized this that he would entrust Ye Chen so solemnly.

Thinking of this, Nanako suddenly felt her eyes red, and tears couldn't help but gush out, and she choked in her mouth, "Otosan..."

Saying that, she was already in tears... ===== CHAPTER 2686 =====
