With a complicated expression, Nichang's father admitted that both of them had passed the trial. But not only Kirito, even Nichang was a little unhappy. Kirito didn't know what he was bothered about, it was just that Nichang's father gave him a feeling of not being trusted. On second thought, Kirito felt that Nichang's father didn't do anything wrong, it was just that he was entangled in some insignificant trust.
Kirito felt that his experience was still not enough. Kirito had a deeper understanding of the word "experience". Experience was not only an improvement of one's strength, it was also a test of one's state of mind. Kirito always felt that he was still not calm enough. Kirito suddenly wasn't in a hurry to return to the Soul World. He must have a showdown with Aizen, but the premise was, could he really win against Aizen?
Kirito carefully thought about the enlightenment that Nichang's father's trial brought to him and fell into deep thought. Nichang looked at Kirito's silent side profile. Nichang bit his lower lip. This trial of his father was really more of a test of one's state of mind. Nichang knew that his father was doing it for his own good, but doing so would make Kirito unhappy, right?
Nichang looked at Kirito who was still immersed in his own world. Nichang was a little afraid that Kirito would be angry. Nichang's father was already an experienced person. Looking at the eyes of both of them, he immediately understood what they were thinking and what they were angry about.
Nichang's father saw that Nichang was worried about Kirito's eyes and couldn't help but feel that he was really old. His children were already so big. Nichang's father suddenly sat on the chair dispiritedly. Nichang's father knew that he must have a good talk with these two children. This was also the last thing he could do for them.
Nichang's father let out a long sigh. Kirito who was in deep thought and Nichang who was still worried looked up at Nichang's father. Nichang's father looked at both of them and said earnestly, "I know that both of you must be dissatisfied and resentful about my trial."
Kirito and Nichang looked at each other at the same time. They seemed to have seen the surprise in each other's eyes. They then looked at Nichang's father with mixed feelings. Kirito was a little embarrassed.
After all, in fact, it was just his own pride that caused trouble. He was a little conflicted about Nichang's father's trust. In fact, if one day, Kirito was a father, he would definitely do the same. Who wouldn't want a companion who could protect their daughter?
At the same time, Kirito also sighed at Nichang's father's shrewdness. He was just a little dissatisfied and wronged, but Nichang's father immediately realized that his experience was far from enough.
Once again, Kirito decided to improve his state of mind.
At this moment, Nichang thought that his father was actually so capable, and his observation skills were not something he could compare with. However, every time they discussed something, his father would still listen to his opinion. Nichang felt that he still had a lot to learn before going out with Kirito to gain experience.
Nichang's father looked at the two's expressions and smiled. He then began to say, "However, the experience in the underworld is not only a test of your strength, but also a test of your calmness. The test in the underworld will not wait for you to be ready. It will come suddenly and inadvertently. Therefore, Kirito, please don't mind me hiding it from you. Nichang also doesn't know about this, so I hope you won't mind."
Kirito was a little embarrassed. Although Kirito knew that Nichang's father might know that Nichang's father knew his thoughts, Kirito felt a little embarrassed when Nichang's father directly pointed out his thoughts, and his face immediately turned red.
Kirito hurriedly stammered, "No, no, no, uncle, I, I, I don't mind. You're too serious."
Nichang's father saw Kirito's stammering nervousness and couldn't help laughing. Nichang's father's laughter also infected Nichang. The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled. Kirito looked at the two with a red face, and the three of them couldn't help but laugh heartily in the end.
The happy atmosphere washed away the grievances and worries in Nichang's and Kirito's hearts. They even looked forward to the following conversation, because both Nichang and Kirito knew that what they were going to say next would be a kind of improvement for both of them.
Nichang's father stopped smiling and continued, "So, I want you to remember that when you walk in the martial arts world, there are too many things that you don't mean. Say less and do more. This is your rule. No matter what happens next, you have to be calm. You have to use your heart to judge whether it is true or not. You have to use your spirit to judge what you see with your eyes. Don't trust your eyes too much, but your heart."
Nichang's father's earnest words made Kirito and Nichang ponder. Thinking back to the battle just now, Nichang's father probably wanted to tell them these principles.
Nichang's father continued, "As for the battle just now, I have something to say," Nichang's father turned to Kirito and stared at Kirito.
"Kirito, in fact, you did a good job. In fact, I am very satisfied with you. I have been secretly observing your every move. According to your actions, I know that you are a calm, steady, and responsible person. In the battle just now, you immediately noticed the appearance of the Space-tearing Tiger and even the existence of the environment. However, these are not enough."
"Do you know what your mistake is?"
Kirito listened to Nichang's father's comments modestly. After hearing Nichang's father's question, he thought carefully and said.
"It's speed."
When Nichang's father heard Kirito's answer, he did not hide his praise for Kirito at all. Nichang's father nodded and said to Kirito, "Yes, it's speed. In a battle, especially when you want to protect your teammates, you need speed. In the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible."
"Moreover, in addition to absolute speed, you also need to improve your strength and accuracy. However, you now have a great understanding of strength and accuracy, but in fact, you have lost your real advantage, which should be speed."
"Therefore, in the duel between you and the Space-tearing Tiger, you did not have any problems in any aspect. You did not abandon your weak teammates and even used the Fire of Ye Lan to lead the Space-tearing Tiger away despite the huge consumption of spiritual power. Therefore, I believe that leaving Nichang to you was the best choice."
"Also, I have a cultivation method here that can improve your attack speed. You can comprehend it during your journey with Nichang. I believe that it will greatly improve your future battle." Kirito was a little surprised. Nichang's father not only gave him advice, but also gave him a cultivation method.
Kirito looked at Nichang's father with a flattered expression. "In that case, thank you, uncle."
