Chapter 1413
Charlie’s words let Nanako understand that she had never been a qualified martial artist.
Even though she has never won a world championship, even if she has been a top young master in the world, she still doesn’t understand the soul of martial arts.
Seeing her crying with pear blossoms and rain, the whole person almost collapsed, Charlie couldn’t help but sighed and declared: “Excuse me, what I declared just now is a bit heavier, but I hope you can understand what real martial art’s soul is!”
Nanako raised her head, and observed Charlie with big red eyes. She knelt on the ground with her legs bent and remarked with tears: “I also ask Mr. Charlie to make it clear, and request you to order it!”
Charlie didn’t stretch out his hand to help her, but declared seriously: “The soul of martial arts is not in the level of strength, but the strength of the heart!”
“He has a strong heart, even if he is a waste person, he does not live up to the martial arts spirit. For example, your master, although he is defiant and conceited, can at least bear the consequences of failure. From this point of view, he is indeed much better than you!”
Nanako declared sadly, “Master even tried to commit suicide today. I believe that if his hands can still be used, he will definitely choose to commit suicide…”
Charlie nodded: “next this proves that although he is exceptionally weak, he still has a strong heart. From the bottom of his heart, he has not lived up to the identity of a martial artist, and you…”
Having mentioned that, Charlie glanced up and down Nanako, and stated seriously: “For now, you are genuinely not suitable for martial arts practice. Let me give you a piece of advice. After this competition, go back to Japan and go to your university. After graduating from university, you can take a postgraduate entrance examination for further studies, or get married and have children as soon as possible to live the life of an ordinary people.”
Nanako remarked with red eyes and earnestly remarked, “But…but I truly don’t want to give up martial arts!”
Charlie mentioned lightly: “Since you don’t want to give up, afterward you have to find a way to make your heart stronger.”
Nanako asked, “Mr. Charlie, I…how do I become stronger inside?”
Charlie stated: “It’s highly simple. First of all, you have to start with your master. First confess his fate for him. This is the first step to a strong heart; to avenge him is the second step to a strong heart.”
Nanako hurriedly waved her hand: “Mr. Charlie, I never thought of avenging Master… Nanako knows that she is far from her opponent, and also knows that Master’s ending today, no wonder he..”
“Yeah.” Charlie nodded approvingly, and declared seriously: “Since you know that you can’t blame me for this matter, it proves that you have made a little progress. This matter is entirely your master’s fault. So I advise you not to put too much psychological pressure on yourself. If you think he is pitiful, just take care of him after returning to Japan.”
Nanako nodded again and again: “Mr. Charlie, I understand!”
Charlie stated, “Well, it’s okay if you understand, it’s okay, it’s not too early, you should go back.”
Nanako hurriedly mentioned, “Mr. Charlie, I have one more question to ask you…”
Charlie: “Say it.”
Nanako asked, “Mr. Charlie, is it possible for you to accept Nanako as a disciple?”
Charlie stated decisively: “It’s impossible.”
“Why?” Nanako hurriedly asked him: “Is it due to the fact that I am not qualified enough, or as I am Japanese?”
Charlie didn’t conceal his words and mentioned straightforwardly: “The main reason is that you are a Japanese. For thousands of years, the Chinese have taught the Japanese so much, but the Japanese don’t know how to be grateful. In the past two to three centuries of modern times, they have repeatedly made enemies with China and even harmed the Chinese people. As the saying goes, I will gain one wisdom from one bite. Therefore, I will never pass the Chinese martial arts to a woman from Japan.”
Nanako lost her heart instantly. She wanted him to be her master, but she cannot change her nationality.
