Chapter 710

After Gu Qiuyi and Xiao Churan added each other as WeChat friends, she immediately looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile: "By the way, Master Ye, let's add each other as friends too."

Having said that, she handed her WeChat QR code to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had no choice but to take out his phone, scan it, and add her as a friend.

Gu Qiuyi winked at him with a look of success, then asked him seriously: "Master Ye, about when will you be able to set off for Jingcheng? Can you give me a rough time so I can make preparations?"

Ye Chen said: "Next week, but I can't set the specific time yet."

Gu Qiuyi nodded and said with a smile: "Master Ye, then my father and I will await your arrival in Jingcheng!"

Ye Chen suddenly thought of what Gu Qiuyi had said before, saying that when he got to Jingcheng and saw her father, he would see if her father wouldn't give him a beating.

Sigh, the more he thought about this, the less face he had to see her father, Gu Yanzhong.

Just as Ye Chen was having a headache over the Gu family's father and daughter, in the intensive care unit of the Jin Ling First People's Hospital, Ito Nanako and her assistant Tanaka Koichi, as well as Kobayashi Jiro of the Kobayashi family, were all standing motionless on both sides of the hospital bed of Ito Nanako's coach, Yamamoto Kazuki.

Yamamoto Kazuki on the hospital bed looked extremely haggard.

The doctor had just performed a third full-body examination on him, confirming once again that his entire nervous system had suffered heavy damage and almost no longer possessed the possibility of recovery.

As for the bloody four big characters "Sick Man of East Asia" on his forehead, they were still strikingly visible.

Ito Nanako really hoped the doctor could use gauze to cover Yamamoto Kazuki's forehead so that it wouldn't further stimulate her mentor.

However, Yamamoto Kazuki firmly rejected this proposal.

The four ugly big characters left on his forehead by Hong Wu could be said to be the greatest shame of his life, but they were also the most profound lesson of his life.

Before Ye Chen crippled him with one palm, Yamamoto Kazuki still felt that he was a world-class martial arts expert.

Only after Ye Chen's palm did he realize that he was merely a tiny ant on the path of martial arts.

Anyone who is dedicated to martial arts has a certain integrity. Even if they lose, most people can accept defeat, and even more so, even if they are accidentally killed in a competition, they can face it calmly before they die.

Although Yamamoto Kazuki's breadth of mind was not that broad, thinking of Ye Chen's terrifyingly terrifying strength, he was also ten thousand times convinced in his heart.

At this time, Ito Nanako looked at him with a sorrowful expression and said: "Master, I have already communicated with my father. He will contact the best hospital and doctors in Tokyo to help you with treatment and recovery, and a private plane will come to pick you up to return to Japan tomorrow!"

"No, I'm not leaving!" Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't move his whole body, only able to shake his head slightly.

At this time, he said hoarsely: "My injuries cannot be cured by any doctor. Returning to Japan won't be any better than here. As your master, I cannot leave you here alone. I want to accompany you until the competition is over before returning to Japan with you."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said: "Master, I may not be able to win the championship in this competition. After today's competition ended, I watched the video of Qin Aoxue's competition. Her strength is much stronger than last time. Even when I encountered a talented player like Joanna, I might have to fight for a long time to win with difficulty. But Qin Aoxue defeated Joanna with just one move. This kind of strength is already far beyond what I can compare to..."

Yamamoto Kazuki sighed: "I also watched the live broadcast of Qin Aoxue's competition on the Chinese mobile video website while in the hospital. Her current strength is indeed very powerful, more than several times stronger than when she competed last time! I really cannot imagine that a person could make such huge progress in such a short time! This simply subverted my cognition!"

Ito Nanako said earnestly: "I think this should have something to do with her coach, Ye Chen. Ye Chen only started being her coach during the last competition."

Thinking of Ye Chen, Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't help but sigh: "This Ye Chen is truly a martial arts master of the current era! It seems that he is an internal disciple who practices internal energy as rumored in Chinese martial arts! I used to think those were all lies, but today I truly understand!"

Kobayashi Jiro on the side said: "I have done some research on ancient Chinese medical books. In the earliest "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" of China, there was a mention of internal energy, and there was even a special chapter on how to circulate internal energy in the body. From this, it can be seen that the Chinese have been practicing internal energy for thousands of years."

Yamamoto Kazuki said with a look of longing: "I really didn't expect that there is really such a thing as internal energy in the world. If I had known about this 10 or 20 years earlier, I would definitely have come to China, visited all the famous mountains and rivers in China, bowed to a true expert as my master, and devoted myself to learning internal energy..."

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki sighed again: "It's a pity that I saw it too late..."

After a pause, two lines of hot tears rolled down his deeply wrinkled face.

Seeing her mentor end up in such a miserable state, Ito Nanako couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki looked at her, his eyes filled with a bit of heat, and said: "Nanako! To this day, I am no longer qualified to be your teaching master. If you hope to have greater breakthroughs and progress on the path of martial arts, then you must find a way to bow to Ye Chen as your master!"

"What?!" Ito Nanako exclaimed: "Bow to him as my master?! I... I won't! Nanako only has one teaching master in this life, and that is you! Except for you, Nanako will never bow to anyone else as her master!"

"Foolish!" Yamamoto Kazuki shouted angrily: "What can I teach you in my current state? Not to mention that I am already a useless person, even if I weren't, what I could teach you has already been passed on to you. The rest is nothing more than some so-called practical experience."

"But look at my current end, and you will know that practical experience has no meaning at all in front of a true expert, in front of absolute power. An ant, even if it has more experience in biting and fighting, is only effective against other ants, but in front of a human, it still cannot resist a single finger of the other party!"

"And Ye Chen made me realize that I was a complete ant on the path of martial arts. As a disciple I taught with all my heart, you haven't been able to surpass your master, which proves that you are just like me, also just an ant on the path of martial arts!"

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki asked Ito Nanako excitedly with burning eyes: "Nanako, you have also been obsessed with martial arts for nearly twenty years. Are you willing to be an ant on the path of martial arts?"

Hearing this, Ito Nanako bit her lower lip and said word by word: "Master, Nanako is not willing to be an ant!"

Yamamoto Kazuki immediately shouted loudly: "Then go and bow to Ye Chen as your master! Let him teach you true martial arts. Only then will you have the opportunity to grow into a true powerhouse. Otherwise, I advise you to give up the so-called martial arts now, because the so-called martial arts we pursue, compared to Ye Chen, are simply the trash of trash!"
