In his youth, Ito Yuhiko was a dedicated martial arts enthusiast.


    He belonged to a generation of Asian young men profoundly inspired by Bruce Lee during the 1970s and 1980s.


    Under this influence, his daughter, Nanako Ito, developed a deep passion for martial arts from a young age.


    Yuhiko was always supportive of Nanako’s interests; he brought in the finest karate, Sanda, and fighting masters from Japan to mentor her since childhood.


    As she trained, Nanako demonstrated remarkable talent in mastering these martial arts disciplines.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    By the time she turned fifteen, renowned masters in Japan had imparted all their knowledge to her. At that point, Yuhiko sought to introduce Nanako to internal martial arts.


    In Japan, the only forms of internal martial arts avable are ninjutsu and swordsmanship.


    However, ninjutsu is deemed inappropriate for young women like Nanako, while swordsmanship focuses on achieving a unique harmony between the person and the sword. Once the sword is removed, one’sbat effectiveness diminishes significantly. Additionally, Nanako did not have an interest in weaponry, which led to a stagnation in her martial arts journey.


    Eventually, Yuhiko took the initiative to invite Japan’s top master, Yamamoto Kazuki, to train Nanako, which opened new avenues for her martial arts development.


    Despite Kazuki Yamamoto’s expertise, he was still a foreign master. Consequently, Yuhiko tried to connect Nanako with Chinese martial arts.


    Unfortunately, the Chinese martial artists he encountered were primarily from traditional martial arts families. These families often held tightly to their iplete martial arts philosophies, which had sustained them for generations, making them reluctant to share their knowledge with outsiders. After several unsessful attempts, Yuhiko reluctantly abandoned this pursuit.


    Little did he know that his daughter would soon emerge as a true warrior!


    When confronted with Yuhiko’s astonishment, Nanako candidly exined, “Odo-san, my rapid progress in martial arts isrgely thanks to the elixir that charliejun provided me initially,bined with a stroke of good luck. I quickly discovered a breakthrough method…”


    With a smile, charlie added, “I can’t take credit for that. It’s definitely Nanako’s talent that has enabled her to grasp the fundamentals of martial arts so swiftly.”


    Curious, Yuhiko asked, “Nanako, what was it that allowed you to master martial arts so quickly?”


    Nanako didn’t keep her secrets and shared in detail what she had told Aurora earlier that day.<fn53d7> This content belongs to find?novel</fn53d7>


    Upon hearing her story, Ito Yuhiko was taken aback, his mouth agape in disbelief, and he finally asked, “This… this sounds rather mysterious, doesn’t it? Is it truly possible for someone to experience a sensation of their soul leaving their body?”


    Nanako nodded, saying, “I found it hard to believe at first, but after my own experience, I encountered the feeling of separation between body and spirit. The essence of martial arts lies in inner exploration; human consciousness resides within the body, and the two exist in a state ofpanionship. It’s akin to a magnifying ss—while the lens can magnify everything, it loses its identity if detached from the handle. This is especially true for people; without a pathway, the spiritual consciousness may only part from the body at the moment of death.”


    She continued, “Thus, the challenge in martial arts is learning to separate consciousness from the body safely and controbly. Achieving this separation allows for inner insights. I envisioned my consciousness descending from a high ce and quickly found a safe space. This near-death experience urred out of sheer curiosity, and to my surprise, it actually worked…”
