Early the next morning, Kairuot arrived at the training ground at the agreed time, but he did not see Uncle Long's figure. Perhaps Uncle Long had overslept, Kairuot thought, and he began his usual practice of standing on his head with his eyes closed.
Before long, a figure sprang out from the woods. At first glance, Kairuot thought it was Uncle Long and excitedly flipped over to stand upright. It was only then that he realized the person in front of him was a student who was half a head shorter than him, wearing the senior uniform of Mars Alliance School. The student had a square face, narrow eyes, and thin lips, exuding a strong martial aura. Kairuot couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Who are you?"
"Don't ask so many questions; just try to get past my punches first!" The student said as he swung his fist toward Kairuot.
Kairuot reacted quickly, dodging to the side to avoid the punch. However, the student followed up with a flurry of rapid punches. These strikes were fierce and precise, leaving Kairuot gasping for breath. Fortunately, having survived in Earth's harsh environment, Kairuot's body was much tougher than that of an average Martian. Although he took several hits, he managed to endure them.
Eventually, the combination of punches came to an end. Seizing the opportunity while the student was catching his breath, Kairuot launched a counterattack. His strikes were much stronger than those of his opponent; unfortunately, despite their power, they lacked internal energy. Otherwise, the student would have been knocked down already.
After exchanging dozens of blows without a clear winner, the student resorted to trickery. Pretending to be hit by Kairuot's punch, he took advantage of Kairuot's momentary lapse in focus and lunged forward with a powerful punch that struck Kairuot on the right temple. Kairuot felt dizzy and darkness clouded his vision; he was ultimately knocked down.

Lying on the ground, Kairuot gradually regained consciousness and propped himself up. He saw his opponent studying him intently and quickly declared his position: "I admit defeat; I can't beat you. Let's talk this over!"
The student couldn't help but chuckle lightly and stepped closer, extending a friendly hand to help Kairuot up. "Today my master sent me to teach you some skills. But look at you—your martial arts are on par with mine; I can't really teach you anything."
Kairuot awkwardly laughed twice: "You're too modest; even I can see that you're going easy on me."
"You've got that wrong; I really didn't hold back," said the unidentified senior student as he patted Kairuot's shoulder. "Now it's halftime; let's have a chat."
The two of them sat down on the grass under the Flowering Tree.
"Kairuot," Senior Kaier asked first, "You're so young, yet your martial arts skills are impressive. Who did you learn from?"
"My father taught me," Kairuot replied, "and... I guess I also honed my skills through real combat."
"Real combat?" The senior student looked puzzled.
Kairuot explained, "I lived on Earth for a while. The survival conditions there were quite harsh. We went out hunting every day and faced various wild beasts. I had to practice running and climbing from a young age, learning how to fight against beasts and improve my chances of survival."
"I see, no wonder you're so resilient," the senior student said thoughtfully.
At that moment, Kairuot stared at him for a while and asked, "Are you Kairuo Mingxiang?"
The senior smiled slightly and replied, "Yes. How did you know?"
"You recently won the championship at the Mars Alliance School Martial Arts Competition. There are news articles and photos of you all over the Light Network's campus version. I just thought you looked familiar, and now that we're close, it's clear—I've actually sparred with such an impressive senior; it's really exciting!" Kairuot became a bit enthusiastic. "Many of my classmates discuss you all the time."
"You're too kind," Kairuo Mingxiang said, a hint of shyness appearing on his face.
At that moment, a swift figure flew out from the Flowering Tree; Uncle Kairolong appeared. He stood with his hands on his hips in front of the two: "Are you two trying to slack off today?"
"Not at all! I just had a spar with a special student and found his foundation to be excellent, with remarkable skills. Master, if you let me teach him, I feel my abilities are limited and it might be difficult for me to help my junior..." Mingxiang stood up and bowed, honestly expressing his thoughts to his master.
"Mingxiang Senior Brother is too humble; I am currently seeking his advice." Kairuot stood up and scratched the back of his head.
"You two are both disciples I have high hopes for, so there's no need to be modest. I witnessed the battle just now, and I already have plans in mind—Kairuot, we had originally agreed that I would give you a lesson today, so I cannot go back on my word. Therefore, the morning training session will be moved to the afternoon. You can practice freely for a while, and at two o'clock this afternoon, Kairuot, come here to meet me; I will take you to a place." Uncle Long instructed.
Kairuot thought for a moment; it seemed that the afternoon was supposed to be self-study time. However, even if it wasn't self-study, with Uncle Long's words, he would certainly drop everything to come. He nodded firmly and replied, "Okay!"
