At four-thirty in the morning, the rising sun still hid the mountain peaks in the east, and the crescent moon was also higher in the east.
The sky and the earth were green, and there was the sound of waves crashing on the shore in the west.
In today's impetuous society, those who could get up and exercise at this time, even if they were not among the best, at least had extraordinary abilities in a certain area.
Humphrey and the others were in the army. They had been on the battlefield for a long time and had long been accustomed to morning exercises every morning.
Charo Kersey was also a retired soldier, and his habit of getting up early remained to this day.
His granddaughter Felicia had lived with him for a long time and had been subtly influenced by him. Although she was a woman, she was also keen to get up early every day to practice and learn boxing with him.
Humphrey stepped forward, and Felicia finally calmed down her fierce heartbeat, organized her words, and took the lead in saying hello with a shy smile. She waved happily and said sweetly, "Hello, new neighbor, my name is Felicia Kersey, and this is my grandpa, Charo Kersey."
Humphrey glanced at Felicia, nodded lightly, and said, "Hello."
After saying that, he looked at Charo, with a hint of respect on his face, and said, "Elder, this boxing technique you are using is Fighting Boxing, right?"
Charo originally thought that Humphrey was here to chat with his granddaughter. When he saw that his granddaughter seemed to have a good impression of the young man, he just boxed on his own and did not want to interfere with the two of them.
But he never thought that the other party would completely ignore his granddaughter's good impression and instead ask him about boxing techniques.
Charo withdrew his fist and looked at Humphrey carefully for the first time, and then he was shocked.
From the perspective of an old man like Charo, a handsome appearance was not a bonus for a man but was actually a deduction.
Too many young men relied on their good looks and did not want to make progress and eventually became worthless embroidered pillows.
Just like the popular celebrities that had filled the streets in recent years, Charo always sneered at the so-called young celebrities every time he saw them.
So after a quick glance at Humphrey who seemed to be a handsome young man, Charo didn't pay much attention to him and even felt that Humphrey was not as good as Claude.
But now when he took a closer look at Humphrey, he realized that he was not just a handsome young man at all.
His figure was as majestic as a mountain, and his brows and eyes were full of masculinity. Just standing there and speaking politely made Charo feel like he was looking at a mountain!
Domineering aura exposed!
Felicia may not have a deep understanding of this kind of aura, but for a retired soldier like Charo, it was even more profound and clear!
In comparison, his handsome appearance seemed not worth mentioning. It was more like the icing on the cake. Whether it was present or not, it made no difference.
Charo was secretly surprised. With his status, few people could give him such a frightening feeling since he was discharged from the army. Facing Humphrey at this time actually reminded him of the time when he was in the army and facing his superiors.
After putting away the usual show of pointing the way when meeting young people, Charo lowered his posture and asked with a smile, "Young sir, do you also know 'Fighting Boxing'?"
This was the first time that he addressed a person of the same age as his grandchildren as sir!
It was enough to show that his attitude towards Humphrey was not the slightest bit contemptuous.
Felicia on the side didn't feel that Humphrey didn't take her seriously at all. Instead, she was secretly happy because of Humphrey's 'hello'. At this time, when she heard her grandfather call him 'young sir', she was not only happy but also shocked.
Although her grandpa had been retired for many years, he was once a famous soldier in the Eastern War Zone. He had outstanding achievements and an honorable status. Even the people in power in this city had to respectfully call him Mr. Kersey when they saw him. She really didn't know why he called this handsome young man 'sir'.
Turning her beautiful eyes, Felicia stood on one side and looked at Humphrey carefully, with an affectionate look on her face.
Humphrey had long been accustomed to Felicia's naked eyes. He looked straight and nodded slightly, "If I read it correctly, this elder's set of 'Fighting Boxing' was created thirty-two years ago. It was the first generation version and had been co-edited by four master warriors and hundreds of expert warriors and has been in use for twenty-seven years."
"First generation version?" Charo was slightly startled.
The first half of what Humphrey said was right. The set of Fighting Boxing he practiced was indeed compiled by hundreds of expert warriors and four master warriors thirty-two years ago. It was a boxing technique commonly practiced by all warriors in Cathysia.
But he had never heard of the term 'first-generation version'. After all, he took a back seat due to injury ten years ago and returned to his hometown to retire. Since then, he had been practicing this 'Fighting Boxing'.
Humphrey nodded and said, "Yes, Fighting Boxing has been improved five years ago. The first-generation version of Fighting Boxing was strong but easy to break. If practiced for a long time, it would cause considerable damage to the body. And the improved second generation version effectively solves this problem and has no side effects when practicing.”
Charo looked at Humphrey, shook his head, and said, "Young sir, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is too ridiculous.
Fighting Boxing was written and compiled by hundreds of famous warriors at that time. It took decades and has received rave reviews. Even if there are flaws, they cannot be concealed. You said that practicing the first-generation version of Fighting Boxing can cause damage to the human body. In my opinion, that is simply nonsense.
Besides, who is qualified to adapt the work of hundreds of warriors who worked together back then? "
Humphrey laughed dumbly and said, "Elder, you must have retired early, so you don't know. Nowadays, the second generation Fighting Boxing has been fully popularized by all master warriors everywhere.
As for the person who adapted Fighting Boxing, he is a young leader in the North War Zone. I think that if his adaptation is not good, other war zones will not promote his adaptation of Fighting Boxing. "
Charo's somewhat cloudy old eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Could it be that you are a soldier from The north?"
Humphrey nodded lightly, "Yes, I have served in the North."
Charo sighed, "In recent years, there has been a man who looks down on everyone in the north. It's a pity that I am too old to meet him!
Hey, wait, you just said that the second-generation Fighting Boxing was adapted by a young leader from the north. Could it be that he was the one with outstanding military exploits? After joining the army, in just two years, he became the undefeated King of the North, who commanded hundreds of large and small battles without losing a single victory. "
When Humphrey made his first great achievements and first emerged, he was summoned once. The superior praised him as the Heaven's Son of the World!
King of the North, also known as Northern King, or simply King North!
Humphrey smiled faintly, nodded lightly, and said, "Yes, he adapted it. Elder, if you still want to continue practicing 'Fighting Boxing', I can teach you the new Fighting Boxing in the future. There won't be any more damage.”
Charo was an admirable old warrior. At such an old age, he was still practicing boxing unremittingly every day. Naturally, Humphrey could not bear to have his body damaged day by day by the shortcomings of the first generation Fighting Boxing.
Charo's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Are you really willing to teach me? You have to know that I am not a soldier now!"
Humphrey said, "It's okay, it's not against the rules."
If it were anyone else, even Claude and Cora, they would not be able to spread Fighting Boxing to outsiders at will but would need to write an application for approval.
But Humphrey was not among them.
Because he was the one who had the authority to approve!
