I am the former civilized hero.

"It's a relief, but as a friend, it's good that he didn't have to go through all that pain." Ryan put his hands down. There was nothing to be proud of.

He didn't want to kill anyone, nor did he want to wander between life and death, but what could he do? He could just blame his bad luck.

"Hey, who are you two? Why are you in my yard?!"

As they were chatting, a loud shout made Ryan shut his mouth. He turned his head and saw a man standing in front of the door next to the courtyard.

He was wearing a black double-breasted martial arts uniform. He had a broad back and was about 1.9 meters tall. His gray hair was tied in a pigtail, and he had a full beard. His light blue eyes were as big as bells, and he was holding a stick that was thicker than his arm.

It looked very fierce, so fierce that it would scare ordinary people, but Ryan and Ying had seen many big scenes, so they were certainly not intimidated by the momentum.

"Is this man Hua's father?" Ying asked quietly.

"Well, the natural enemy she fears the most is also my master, named Fu."

Ying looked at the other person. This rough and heroic appearance was indeed far from gentleness. Moreover, how could such a rough man give birth to a beautiful daughter? The genetic mutation must be quite severe.

"Hey, what are you mumbling about? Do you want to get out by yourself, or do you want me to beat you out? " The man took a horse stance, holding both ends of the stick in a strange posture.

"Master, you have been studying the Inch-Heart Stick these days." Ryan knew the other person's temper and quickly took off his hood.

The man narrowed his eyes, looked carefully, then suddenly loosened his hands and kicked with a perfect back kick.

The pose was cool, the power was great, and the stick was as fast as a javelin, but it was too slow for Ryan.

He reached out his hand, grasped it, and slammed it on the ground nonchalantly. Then he saw a figure rushing over, hugging him like a bear, and patting his back, making a loud thumping sound.

"You finally came back. You haven't even called me in such a long time. Isn't that a bit disrespectful to your teacher and ancestors?"

"It's only been three years, don't make it like you haven't been back for ten." Ryan let him hold him, feeling that fist that once made him grit his teeth was like a massage, "And I asked for your phone number, but she wouldn't give it to me."

"This girl hasn't been back for more than a year, and I still don't allow you to comfort an old man like me. Forget it, I know you are busy and doing big things." Fu didn't know much about the work of the two people. He only knew that they joined the Fire Moth. He let go of his hand, pressed Ryan's shoulder, and smiled on his rough face.

"Not bad, not bad. You have become stronger. It's a pity that I can't contact those brothers, otherwise I don't know how jealous they would be. Your body is as strong as iron. Have you promoted my Inch Heart Fist?"

"Yes, I killed many evil people with my fists and saved many people." Ryan nodded seriously.

"That's good. My Inch Heart Fist is all about chivalry and justice." The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction and looked at Ying again: "You are Ling's sister, right?"

"Hello, Master Fu, thank you for your help during this period of time." Ying held the hilt of the knife and bowed.

The girl was full of heroic spirit, just like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath. This kindred feeling made Fu nod slightly and mutter in his heart.

That girl has no chance of winning.

Even though she was his own daughter, he had to admit that her appearance, figure and even strength were superior to Hua's, and he couldn't help but blame his daughter for being shy.

"Your mother was so brave back then. She executed your father right there in the cornfield by the river. She got married only after she got pregnant with you. Why can't you learn from her?"

He had long regarded Ryan as his son-in-law, and the Inch Heart Fist could only flourish in his hands.

"master?"

"Ah, Ling is very well behaved. She is practicing boxing in the backyard."

"Practice boxing?" Ying was a little surprised. Her sister couldn't bear hardship and had never been exposed to swordsmanship since she was a child.

"Well, she pestered me to learn, but she has a good foundation. Maybe she is also a martial arts genius. Well, I have nothing to do anyway, so I will teach her." Fu stroked his beard and looked very satisfied with his clothes.

To be chosen by Honkai to become a Herrscher, he must be a genius.

Ryan was not surprised. To become the carrier of the Herrscher, one must first have super strong resistance to Honkai energy. Anyone who possesses it has extremely high talent, and in a sense, can be guaranteed to undergo super transformation surgery.

"Okay, it's good to have some self-defense skills in this world. Since she wants to help, let her learn." Ryan smiled and waved his hand, and saw Ying bow slightly and walked quickly to the backyard.

This sister complex man couldn't hold back any longer and might even be quite happy. But just as he was about to follow, his shoulder was held down again.

"Shouldn't you have a drink with me?"

"What do you want to talk about, Master?"

"It's about you and Hua. Why haven't you responded for so long?"

Ryan's scalp tingled. He probably guessed the third reason why Hua didn't want to come back, which was that Fu tried his best to bring them together, but the girl was too thin-skinned to bear it.

If it was Hua who came back with me, the invitations would have been sent out and the buffet would have been prepared.

Ryan knew his master's informal character better than anyone else, but before he could say anything, he was dragged into the house.

It happened to be evening, and the sound of a spatula came from the kitchen. Ryan was walking up and down the living room, with a smile on his face that never disappeared.

Everything was arranged the same as it was eight years ago, as if he had returned to the time when he was traveling and learning skills. Ryan was very weak at that time, and he had to put in some effort when facing guns, but he didn't feel any burden, and he couldn't see the end of the world.

Occasionally they would encounter a few Honkai beasts, and then the Fire Moths would deal with them quietly like the secret department in the novels, without disturbing the peaceful daily life.

It's only been a few years.

I don’t feel it on weekdays, but when I’m really immersed in memories, I feel that everything is like a dream. The world has become like this in just a few years, but some things stubbornly remain the same, which is especially obvious in this familiar living room.

"Brother Ryan!"

Just as he was expressing his feelings, a surprised voice was heard. He just turned around and saw a pink figure flying towards him and bumping into his chest.

Ryan took a half step back and saw the girl rubbing his chest, then raised her bright little face.

"It's been a long time."

"Ling, you've grown up too." Ryan touched her head. After not seeing her for more than a year, the girl was almost as tall as his chin.

"I'm already fourteen years old, don't treat me like a child like your sister." Ling wrinkled her nose, her childish face looked very cute, then she stepped back half a step and raised her white arms, "Master Fu praised me for my natural strength, no one in the town can beat me, come, I'll show you a set of Inch Heart Fist."

As sisters, she and Sakura have completely different personalities. She is extremely lively and started punching vigorously before Ryan even agreed.

The setting sun shone on her through the window like a spotlight. Ryan glanced at Sakura who was smiling faintly in the shadows, then looked at the photos of successive leaders of the Cunxin Fist around the living room, and finally landed on a photo of a woman who looked 70% similar to Hua.

The world has become strange, but some stubborn things remain in the past.

Chapter 302: Eden is also a hero

Perhaps it was because they got along well. Ryan and Ling had only been together for a few days, but she was not restrained at all. She was boxing in a sailor suit. In the end, it was not until Chef Fu, who had finished cooking, came out and called her to stop.

"I've told you so many times that you have to change into pants when practicing martial arts. Do you want your opponent to be distracted by wearing a skirt?" Fu shouted loudly, holding two plates.

"Hehe, this is also a tactic, and I'm wearing safety pants underneath."

"Find a fight!"

The girl stuck out her tongue, quickly hid behind her sister, then stuck her head out and made a face.

Fu was not angry. He put the soup bowl on the table and stroked his thick beard. "Ah, every time I see Ling, I feel that I was too strict before. Her mother died early, and I raised her as a boy."

After hearing this, Ying suddenly came to her senses. No wonder Hua has such a conservative personality and particularly dislikes wearing skirts or brightly colored clothes. It would be strange for her to be cute when she was brought up by such a tough guy.

She glanced at the photo and her expression darkened a little.

"It's okay, I will treat Sister Hua as my own sister, and I will make her as cute as me." Ling interrupted, making everyone laugh.

One’s nature is hard to change, and Ryan couldn’t imagine the stake being so lively.

"Okay, okay, sit down and eat. I just killed two chickens, so it should be enough for us." Fu pulled out a stool, sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, and took out a jar of wine, "You boy, drink with me, and we won't stop until we are drunk."

Ryan basically doesn't drink, but he didn't refuse. He unbuttoned his collar and picked up the wine bowl.

"Respect to the master, respect to the master's wife."

Ryan didn't waste any words. He tilted his head back and gulped it all into his mouth, then wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Your wine is still so strong."

"Ha, you are more straightforward than before." Fu also raised his head to drink it all, and then filled two more bowls. "You are obviously a top martial artist, but sometimes you act like a scholar. This is more reasonable."

His thick beard was stained with wine beads. He pointed at the photos above his head and said, "The era of warriors has long passed. No martial arts can be better than a gun. Haha, what happened? You guys have taken this era back. In the past, a girl like this who carried a knife or a sword would have been sent to the police station as a psychopath."

"I didn't take it back. I can only say that it was a choice of the times. Without Honkai energy, I can't beat the bullets."

"what about now?"

Ryan raised his glass and looked disdainful: "Hot weapons are all rubbish. My fists can break mountains and seas. Even the Herrscher will be turned into minced meat."

"Well said, let's do it!" Fu laughed. He didn't know what a Herrscher was, but his apprentice was awesome. "I think you saw further back then and insisted that Hua continue to learn boxing. Now it finally comes in handy."

Back then, he was planning to let Hua study hard. In modern society, no matter how good a boxer is, the only thing he can do is to fight in a ring. However, Ryan strongly opposed it, which laid a good foundation.

There was no use of Honkai energy to evaporate. After two large bowls of wine, Ryan was a little tipsy and his voice gradually became louder.

"Hua is not weak now. He will have no problem ruling a large region."

"Can you beat those monsters on TV? I think some of them are bigger than a six-story building."

"A tank-level Honkai Beast can be blasted to pulp with just one finger."

Fu Wei opened his mouth wide. As an old boxer, it was hard to imagine how a human fist could kill such a big monster, and then his face was filled with pride.

"The things from our ancestors are still useful. I'll have to burn a few more incense sticks later. This girl is really something. She didn't even tell me when she became so strong. She always says the same few words."

"Hua is just like that. She doesn't want you to worry." Ryan took the wine jar and filled two bowls. Suddenly he remembered something and turned to look at Ying who was whispering to her sister.

"Take out the information terminal and retrieve Hua's combat records. Let's just use the part about the rain forest mopping-up operation."

Fu didn't understand a single word and took the tablet in confusion. Then the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed and his eyes slowly widened.

This was taken by a high-altitude drone. A girl wearing a tight combat suit and a ponytail was running in the dense forest, and her Honkai energy left a red trail behind her.

Dozens of giant monsters were right in front of her, and even the towering trees seemed small, but the girl was not afraid at all and just kept speeding up.

This is Hua, his daughter. He saw the shooting star pause in slow motion and saw his own daughter crawling on all fours like a tiger.

boom--

The huge wind pressure uprooted large trees and caused drones in the sky to sway.

"It's about shrinking the ground into an inch, and then collapsing the mountain!"

He saw the girl's elbow smash a monster into two pieces from the waist, and she stepped on the half of the body and exerted force in the air, and her raised fist hit the monster on the crown of the head. The force spread from the top of the head to the feet, and the huge body was covered with cracks and broke into pieces on the spot.

"Toojin. Broken rock? You can use the shock to turn around, this posture——"

A peacock-like monster swooped down from the sky. The girl stepped on the ground, her right fist surrounded by layers of red halos, and she punched towards the sky.

"Cun Jin. Open the sky!!"

Fu roared as if he was there himself, and saw the monster and the drone being blown into pieces. He put down the tablet, his face flushed, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

He actually believed Ryan's words, but it was not as intuitive as seeing it with his own eyes. Others might be terrified when they saw it, but Fu only felt deep pride as a father and a leader.

After sitting there for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and drank the wine, walked quickly to the incense burner, lit the incense and bowed three times in a formal manner.
