World’s Best Martial Artist

Magic Martial.

After the war, the inventory has generally had results, and the distribution plan has also been determined.

However, net worth hasn’t arrived. Fang Ping judged that the item hasn’t arrived yet, so he is not in a hurry.

…

After the war, everything is awaited.

Fang Ping has no time to take care of these things at the moment, including the gray cat cat food, which has to be placed in the back row.

This time the battle, he actually gained a lot.

Fight Source Dao powerhouse!

Especially when fighting against the boxing powerhouse, Fang Ping didn’t cheat at that time, and played against the other side alone, and was slightly better. After the first fight, he gained a lot.

In the cultivation room.

Fang Ping checked his system data:

Wealth: 48 million points

Qi and Blood: 119600 cards (119800 cards)

Spirit: 1055 Hz (7999 Hz)

Power of Destruction: 60 yuan (60 yuan)

storage space: 10000 cubic meter (+)

energy Barrier: 1 point per minute (+)

aura simulation: 10 points per minute (+)

Source detailed analysis: 10 million -100 million points

“It’s close to the eighth grade eight forge golden body!”

Fang Ping can judge his strength. He is now in the seven forgings peak state, the seven forge golden body, and the peak strength is 12ten thousand cal Qi and Blood.

For a martial artist like him, the difference between the top and the next two hundred cards is negligible.

But soon, Fang Ping’s face changed slightly.

The upper limit of Mental Power is high, but Mental Power has been traumatized and has not recovered.

“Self-destruct is really troublesome!”

Fang Ping took a deep breath and can no longer be self-destructed!

The Golden City plan has been delayed repeatedly because of the Mental Power self-destruct. The Golden House continues to collapse, and there is no time and opportunity to make it into a Golden House.

“First breakthrough to eighth grade eight forgings! Then slowly think about other things.”

Old Man Li also closed the door, and this old fogey gained a lot this time He has not used up the inextinguishable material Fang Ping gave him before. I am afraid that the retreat this time is also to impact the environment of eighth grade eight forgings.

“Old Man Li eighth grade eight forgings, Qi and Blood over 12ten thousand cal, if it reaches eight forgings peak, 140,000 cal Qi and Blood, double the others, reaching 280,000 cal Qi and Blood intensity …This old fogey…hateful!”

Fang Ping suddenly cursed!

Unhappy!

old fogey has never broken through. He has stayed in eighth grade, and he has also stayed in eighth grade. As a result, he is on the eighth grade list and almost always lives as the second child.

“You are ruthless! But when I absorb and digest the results this time, I will go back and learn the absolute peak absolute knowledge of Old Zhang and Li Zhen, and improve the control of strength to see who we are. Great!”

Fang Ping is humming, Old Man Li is strong, but there is a flaw, he doesn’t have Power of Destruction.

He can only rely on the strength of Qi and Blood!

This may also be a kind of balance, myriad dao unite, after all, there are still limitations.

Normal martial artists have Power of Destruction.

And the intensity is higher than Qi and Blood!

Ordinary eighth grade martial artist, Power of Destruction can reach thirty or forty yuan in the peak period, which is comparable to the intensity of 200,000 cal Qi and Blood.

At the ninth grade level, they are not promoted by Golden Body seven forgings. Under normal circumstances, many people can reach 50 yuan in Power of Destruction, which is comparable to 25ten thousand cal Qi and Blood.

However, inextinguishable materials can hardly be restored, and Power of Qi and Blood, for the ninth grade powerhouse, as long as there is energy, they can almost be restored in a blink of an eye.

So only in the final stage, the martial artist will use inextinguishable material to fight.

Moreover, it is a one-off type. After a while, the inextinguishable material is exhausted and almost nothing is left.

“By the way, did the Mental Power cultivation method Old Zhang brought from Dean Lu last time came out…forgot?”

Fang Ping frowned slightly , I also thought that Old Zhang said that it was a bit flawed, and probably it is not suitable for passing down.

“Forget it, I can’t use it for the time being anyway.”

At this moment, his Mental Power is almost reaching 8000 Hz, which is enough for his Golden Body eight forgings.

Fang Ping ignored this and began to condense inextinguishable material, and began to forge the physical body.

One time forging, the Golden Body is close.

At his level, the Golden Body is much heavier than the ordinary Golden Body powerhouse. The current Fang Ping may weigh 20,000 to 30,000 catties.

If he doesn’t control himself, let him fall from the high altitude, and there is no difficulty in smashing a building.

“Golden Body eight forgings ……After eight forgings, what is the nine forge golden body like?”

No one seems to have reached the nine forge golden body!

Even the martial artist of myriad dao unite, the legend can reach this point, but it may not be true.

The “Golden Body Nine Forgings Law” I got last time in Xuan De cave heaven is about the cultivation merit law of ordinary physical body martial artist, and “Golden Body Nine Forgings Law” is called nine forgings. In fact, the upper limit is generally like seven forgings.

The ability to complete seven forgings with Golden Body is already a sign of physical body cultivation powerhouse.

Seven forge golden body, Qi and Blood are 3ten thousand cal Qi and Blood higher than those six forgings who first entered the Golden Body powerhouse, and enter Source Dao in the future. Once they increase, the gap will be too big.

“Eight forge golden body!”

Fang Ping settled down, closed his eyes and started body tempering.

……

On this day, Li Changsheng is also in body tempering, and Li Hansong is also in body tempering.

Wang Jinyang stopped his cultivation and did not return to Nanjiang, but wandered around on the Magic Martial campus.

In this Magic City battle, he and Yao Chengjun all had a soy sauce, and they joined the battle at the later stage.

Walking on the campus, Wang Jinyang brows slightly wrinkle, as if something is on his mind.

Soon, Wang Jinyang was surrounded by one more person.

Wu Kuishan didn’t know when he would show up, so he said with a smile while walking: “Minister told you about you when he left, Zi Gai Mountain, don’t go there for now.”

“It’s not…”

Wang Jinyang shook his head and frowned: “Head School Wu, I found that I have a problem…”

“en?”

Wu Kuishan narrowed his eyebrows slightly, and slowly said: “Problem? Tell me about it.”

Wang Jinyang saw that he was nothing strange, said with a faint smile: “Fang Ping can come to Magic Martial, can It is indeed his blessing to meet Head School Wu, you respectable teachers.

I thought that Head School Wu would be vigilant and even have some other doubts.”

Wu Kuishan said with a faint smile: “Doubt? Demon Emperor resurrection? Actually, there is no need to worry about these. New Martial Era is not afraid of anyone’s resurrection! Even if you Wang Jinyang is really Demon Emperor resurrection, what about?”

“Demon Emperor should not be me.”

Wang Jinyang shook his head and said with a smile: “I feel that I am not Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian, but just a feeling. But… I doubt me It may have something to do with the Demon Emperor. The summon mine on Zi Gai Mountain may be the Demon Emperor.”

Wu Kuishan did not speak.

Wang Jinyang said with a smile again: “Of course, it doesn’t matter. The point is…I seem to have a little mutation again!”

Wang Jinyang said with a strange look in his eyes: “I Bone marrow mutation, since I reached the high grade level, it is not much different from the average person. I thought that at this point, my mutation was in one section.

But yesterday, I was promoted to seventh. grade high stage, begin tempering skull…once again, a change has taken place!”

“What?”

Wang Jinyang took a deep breath, and said with a heavy voice: “I… It seems I can’t tempering skull! Maybe I can’t achieve Golden Body! I found that Teacher Li and I seem a bit similar, but they seem right but actually isn’t!”

Wang Jinyang once again Inhale, “I Skull has not been converted to Golden Bone. I have not been involved in the issue of Golden Body before. My skeleton has not been golden… I don’t find it strange. Seventh grade martial artist is the same for many people.

Without forging the semi-Golden Body, the skeleton is still white, which is normal.

Under normal circumstances, the Golden Body will be truly achieved in the eighth grade environment.

But this time, the tempering skull failed. I found the problem. My Mental Power and Power of Qi and Blood began to merge!

I want to temper the skeleton, but I can’t do it, mine The strength is also returning to one, but instead of converting towards a certain kind of strength, it is moved towards a kind of extremely unfamiliar energy convert……”

Speaking, Wang Jinyang said with a bitter smile:” According to the usual practice, Mental Power and Power of Qi and Blood are integrated and will co nvert becomes Power of Heaven and Earth. If the power of the physical body is added, it will be converted into Power of Destruction.

Or simply like Teacher Li, convert into pure Power of Qi and Blood!

But I am not, or say so…my strength is evolving toward the power of bone marrow! “

Wu Kuishan frowned, said solemnly: “The power of bone marrow? “

“I don’t know if it is, you will know if you look at it…”

Speaking, a piece of scarlet appeared in Wang Jinyang’s hand.

Wu Kuishan After watching for a while, he condensed his eyebrows and said: “It’s not Power of Qi and Blood! Purity seems to be more pure than Power of Qi and Blood, a bit similar to the power of Li Changsheng’s myriad dao unite, but it’s not…”

Wu Kuishan recalled: “Last time in Western Mountain, Fang Ping The book I got, once said that ancient martial arts has six Daos!

myriad laws unite, myriad dao unite, partial physical body, partial Mental Power, normal cultivation.

Among them, there is the last one. Even the Minister doesn’t know much about it. If you repair the inside and then repair the outside, give priority inside and supplement outside……”

Wu Kuishan looked at Wang Jinyang glanced at it and slowly said, “Li Hansong nowadays, he no longer takes the road of myriad dao unite. He may have been the powerhouse of myriad dao unite.

Yao Chengjun, once went myriad laws unite, the probability is not small.

They should have been very pure back then, taking the ultimate path. Now, their resurrection in New Martial Era has embarked on the path of merging the flows together. “

Wu Kuishan said and said: “Minister once said, you people, maybe you have sealed yourself and rebuilt Martial Arts! Perhaps, some road flaws were discovered, that’s why we did it!

The two of them are Extreme Dao powerhouse resurrection. This time it is involved in the North-South dispute. I suspect that the two of them may be representatives of the North and South factions back then, taking the purest North-South road.

At a certain realm, maybe something went wrong, so we seal reincarnate and recultivate.

As for you…You are actually very strange, as strange as Fang Ping. “

Wu Kuishan smiled and said: “The power of your bone marrow is what you regain, which is a bit unusual! This shows that in the past life, you may be the top level powerhouse of this way.

Ancient martial arts six Daos, the last one is unclear, as if I have never heard of it.

In this case, how does the ancient martial arts six Daos stand side by side?

I guess that this road should also have a top level powerhouse, so that ancient martial arts will have six Daos, and you…maybe the top level powerhouse of this road. “

Wu Kuishan said, and frowned again: “But you think you have something to do with Demon Emperor or Zi Gai Mountain, then what about Zi Gai Mountain? What about Mo Wenjian? Did he follow you too? The last one in ancient martial arts six Daos? “

Speaking of this, Wu Kuishan headed great Dao: “Well, wait for Fang Ping to leave the customs, let him accompany you to find gray cat and ask. Gray cat knows Mo Wenjian, and seems to be in contact with a lot, maybe know some things. “

“Don’t worry too much, Martial Arts Lu Qian ten million, even if there are defects, it is not impossible to correct them! New Martial Era, anything is possible! It really doesn’t work. If you abolish yourself, just rebuild it! “

Wu Kuishan said indifferently, said with a smile: “Smashed the skeleton, shredded the Mental Power, kept the vitality, used heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and re-cultivation is not impossible! You are Fang Ping’s guide on Martial Arts. He won’t hesitate about this little thing. “

Wang Jinyang heard this, didn’t know whether to cry or laugh: “That’s true, Head School Wu said…Thank you Head School Wu, then I will wait for Fang Ping Ask again when you come out. “

Wu Kuishan is quite comforting, although it feels unreliable.

However, Wang Jinyang did breathed a sigh of relief, too, the big deal destroyed himself and rebuilt it. That’s it!

Based on his current experience, Fang Ping helps, even if it is rebuilt, it may only take half a year to repair to the seventh grade.

Wang Jinyang no longer frowns. He left soon.

As soon as he left, Wu Kuishan was muttered: “ancient martial arts six Daos, Yao Chengjun who specializes in Mental Power, Li Hansong who specializes in physical body, and possibly the last representative Wang Jinyang.

Other three Dao…… Normal cultivation, partial physical body, partial Mental Power, does this three Dao have powerhouse resurrection?

Or, this three Dao is orthodox and does not need to be rebuilt? “

Wu Kuishan faintly muttered to oneself, the latter three Dao, in fact, Mental Power and Power of Qi and Blood both exist, repairing Mental Power and physical body is just a little bit sideline.

p>

And myriad laws unite and myriad dao unite, they are not partial subjects, they are not learned directly, they belong to the illiterate category.

“Today’s mankind, in fact, the physical body is fixed. Some, but still Dual Cultivation, Mental Power and physical body are not too strong. “

Modern mankind and Martial Arts of cultivation are actually regarded as the orthodox route.

There are some partial disciplines, the partial physical body is slightly more, but the difference is not too big, Mental Power is also It has been maintained at a normal level.

Wu Kuishan is slightly strange, New Martial Era, who has not been able to obtain the Merit Law of the Land of Boundary Domain before, is it really impossible to obtain, or is it artificially manipulated?

Did it result from the North-South dispute?

The two factions were flawed and finally decided not to teach merit law?

As for now, the Martial Arts of mankind is almost fixed.

p>

Repair the physical body and also the Mental Power.

Except for a few people, such as Li Changsheng, others will not give up one deliberately even if they learn the merit law now.

Xu Gecheng and the others, it was to improve the battle strength quickly, they were helpless, otherwise they would not change myriad dao unite specially.

“Now give us Mental Power merit law , It is the icing on the cake… It can break some of our shackles, instead of letting people start to specialize in Mental Power since they were young. “

If Mental Power merit law existed for a long time, maybe many people would not be able to cultivate the physical body at all.

Wu Kuishan pondered again, he is not quite clear, is this man-made or not? God’s will, anyway, the existence of New Martial Era seems a bit special.

Took a deep breath, Wu Kuishan didn’t think about it anymore.

In a few years, everything should be As the water recedes, the rocks appear.

Nowadays, the past mysterious history is slowly showing up.

Land of Boundary Domain, gray cat, Royal Battle Land ……

These people or demons have all begun to show up.

The mysterious Heaven Suppressing King, this time began to appear, formally walked to the front desk, it seems that I am afraid it will not be rare in the future.

“absolute peak…”

Wu Kuishan suddenly felt a little regretful, it was a pity!

Unfortunately, this time, he lacked some, and finally failed to break However, it is Chen Yaozu, a senior who has been stagnant for many years. This time, advanced by leaps and bounds, he has directly stepped into the absolute peak boundary.

“The war is getting closer, and our chance of achieving absolute peak seems to be also Bigger! “

Wu Kuishan suddenly laughed, time makes the man!

In the past two years, a powerhouse advanced by leaps and bounds seems to be accidental, maybe it is inevitable.

At this moment, Wu Kuishan suddenly turned his head and looked towards the old Magic Martial area!

A golden light shines on heaven and earth!

“Golden Body eight forgings! Li Changsheng! “

At this moment, Wu Kuishan pressure has skyrocketed!

This guy is so scary. This is Golden Body eight forgings. How embarrassing is this!

Here just finished feeling, next moment, Magic Martial South Region, another golden light shines on heaven and earth!

Fang Ping !

On January 2nd, Fang Ping and Old Man Li entered the Golden Body eight forgings at the same time, breaking the legend that martial artist cannot forge golden body.

Nowadays, many people actually know that Zhang Tao and Li Zhen did not enter Golden Body back then. Eight forgings, but the ninth grade entered at seven forgings peak.

In this way, the two achieved the invincible absolute peak.

And today, Magic Martial was born in one day Two powerhouses of Golden Body eight forgings, maybe era has really changed.

……

On January 3, the China Martial Arts Association officially changed its ranking.

This time, there has been a big change!

Some of the big people were a little surprised by the boldness of the Martial Arts Association!

This time, the list was cut off !

A lot of cuts!

Martial Arts Association, this time is not only for ranking, but some even want to modify the classification of Martial Arts!

And this is obviously not something that the Martial Arts Association can decide on itself. It should be someone who asked the Martial Arts Association to do it before leaving.

“Absolute peak! “

“The source list! “

“Golden Body list! “

“Grandmaster List! “

This time, the name of the list has changed, and it is no longer the previous seven-eight ninth grade list.

Of course, the general meaning is the same, but it did a lot Big changes.

For example, the source list… is no longer a general term of ninth grade, but the source one section, the source two sections, the source three sections…

When the list appeared, Fang Ping actually knew that Old Zhang did it.

He was refining the division of ninth grade!

Let martial artist know himself more clearly Positioning, know where to work hard.

The Golden Body rankings are also no longer distinguished by early, middle and late three stages, but adopted the ancient name, distinguished by Golden Body.

Fang Ping also speculates about this change, and it may be to let more martial artists know that Golden Body is not only six forgings, but also higher forging.

When the situation in China eases At this time, it is no longer as before, when people are urgently needed to advance. At this time, let some Golden Body powerhouses continue to settle and break through to Golden Body seven forgings. I am afraid that Old Zhang made this list.

Back then, the mankind situation was tense, far inferior to Catacomb. Entering the ninth grade environment can quickly increase the battle strength and quickly become Source Dao.

It can be so, these ninth grade powerhouses, in fact Not too strong.

Many people are Golden Body six forgings Early-Stage, comprehended Source Dao, and they are promoted quickly without stopping.

The result of this is that some When the ninth grade powerhouse played against the Catacomb martial artist, although it had an advantage, it was not a crush on strength, but a desperate heart to make mankind ninth grade stronger!

In the battle strength, in Base Above, mankind does not mean that it must be stronger than Catacomb.

……

Magic Martial.

Fang Ping, who just left the customs, didn’t look at anything else, but looked towards absolute peak!

You have a lot of courage!

Martial Arts Association listed this list this time, what does it mean?

Old Zhang, what is it for?

Show off?

In fact, there is no need. Martial King is invincible. You know what you should know, and you don’t need to know what you shouldn’t. In that case, the existence of absolute peak list is purely to inspire people?

On the absolute peak list, there is a preface:

“ninth grade martial artist, Qi and Blood is comparable to the ordinary ninth grade 800,000 cal intensity, it is absolute peak! Martial The top of Arts!”

800,000 cal, which is compared to the ordinary ninth grade.

The weakest absolute peak, the base Qi and Blood 200,000 cal, doubled to 400,000 cal, and the absolute peak doubled in quality, comparable to 800,000 cal.

This is the weak absolute peak, the weakest kind!

But even if it is weak, it is much stronger than the top level ninth grade. Before it becomes an absolute peak, Qi and Blood will not double. Generally, no matter how strong a martial artist is, no matter how strong the foundation is, it can reach 400,000 cal. It’s the limit.

Such a huge gap, this is the gap between absolute peak and non-absolute peak!

The absolute peak rankings are in no order, and there is no superfluous introduction.

Fang Ping glanced, but still laughed, this list…may not be indiscriminate.

“Heaven Suppressing King ——Li Xuanxie ”

“Martial King ——Zhang Tao ”

“Battle King ——Jiang Tianming ”

“Nether King ——Li Zhen ”

“Sword King ——Su Jian ”

“……”

“Moon King ——Nan Yunyue ”

“Calm King ——Chen Yaozu ”

“Spear King ——Zhang Weiyu ”

A total of 17 absolute peak powerhouses, all listed !

Zhang Weiyu is at the bottom, Chen Yaozu is second to last, and the Northern Spear King dispute in the South has fallen. China has two Spear Kings in the North and the South. Now the Spear King in the absolute peak was captured by Zhang Weiyu. Even if Northern Spear King Wang Yu achieves absolute peak in the future, it will have to be renamed.

“All the absolute peak powerhouses in Zhenxing City are listed…Does this mean that the absolute peak boundary has officially moved to the foreground?”

Absolute peak has been in Yuhai Mountain for hundreds of years, It has never been revealed to others.

Even Shen Haotian and Chen Guyang, although they are well-known on the list, almost no one has seen them.

Now, the 17 absolute peaks are divided separately, and everyone is on the list.

Fang Ping doesn’t know whether it means Zhenxing City is officially born, or it means absolute peak is coming to the front of the stage, maybe both.

After the absolute peak list, it is the origin list.

There is also a preface:

“Step out of Source Dao, 100 meters is one section, and the source is divided into ten sections.”

0-100 meters It is one section, increasing in sequence, and when it is above 900 meters, it is the real ninth grade source ten sections powerhouse.

“First: Kong Lingyuan, ten sections of the source!”

The Number One Person on the source list is not Wu Chuan, but Kong Lingyuan, who has been seriously injured and dying and has yet to heal. , World War I 12, even if the gray cat shot, Kong Lingyuan played a truly invincible imposing manner in the previous battle, the most powerhouse in Source Dao.

“Second, Zhao Xingwu, the source ten sections!”

Zhao Xingwu entered Catacomb, and there is no leak, this time, it is still on the source list, ranking second.

“Third, Su Yunfei (son of Sword King), original ten sections!”

“Fourth, Wu Kuishan, original eight sections!”

“Fifth, Wu Chuan, original eight sections!”

“Sixth, Zheng Yuehua (son of Zheng Family Old Ancestor), original nine sections!”

“Seventh, Zhou Xinghe (son of Zhou Family Old Ancestor), original nine sections!”

“Eighth…”

this time, once again there are many more powerhouses on the original list!

Unfamiliar powerhouse!

There are powerhouses in Yuhai Mountain, powerhouses in Land of Boundary Domain, and powerhouses in Central Government…

Zhenxing City ninth grade powerhouse, without exception, all are on the list. !

Magic City Catacomb battle, powerhouse almost all appeared.

Even those powerhouses in Yuhai Mountain, Ma Tianfu was born first, and Zheng Tao was born afterwards. These seniors who have been in Yuhai Mountain for many years have entered the list this time, telling the whole world that China has not forgotten these people!

They have first names, they are powerhouse, and they have done a lot for mankind, which is worth remembering!

Some second-generation Old Ancestors, including Land of Boundary Domain, have also entered the list.

Fang Ping knew before that most of the 8 Land of Boundary Domains in China are occupied by people.

And many of these people are descendants of Old Ancestor, descendants of direct lineage.

This time, these people are also on the list.

And these second-generation Old Ancestors are not weak, and there are even powerhouses with original ten sections, which means that they are not far from the absolute peak.

And Chen Yaozu, before this, was not too strong, after all, his father…not too strong.

At the beginning, Chen Yaozu walked about 700 meters, probably from seven sections to eight sections in the original source.

And this time, Chen Yaozu directly reached the absolute peak list.

An unfamiliar powerhouse ranked in the top ten.

Wu Kuishan and Wu Chuan, with the strength of the original eight sections, ranked fourth and fifth, Fang Ping almost wanted to laugh when they saw it.

Wu Chuan…tragedy!

The people in front of him, one by one, have become absolute peaks.

After Zhang Weiyu achieved absolute peak, according to the original situation, he should be ranked first!

The result…Fang Ping thinks the authenticity of this list this time is much more reliable, and that should be it.

The old Old Wu didn’t make it to the top three after taking away an absolute peak. Once again, he was thrown to the fifth place and was surpassed by Wu Kuishan. What Fang Ping thought at the moment was Wu Seeing this list, Chuan will kill people?

It’s so embarrassing!

Fortunately, he shouted at Number One Person under the absolute peak before, and now…has been embarrassed.

However, with the strength of the original eight sections, the two of them overwhelmed several original nine sections powerhouse, which was enough to prove themselves.

This time the list has been relisted, and the weak ninth grades are all the original one section, and they are all listed.

In China this time, there are more powerhouses in the source list.

The list has been ranked up to 82!

Fang Ping has known before that there are almost 15 seniors in Yuhai Mountain, almost 10 in Land of Boundary Domain, five-six people in Royal Battle Land, and four-five people in Central Government who are not on the list. .

Battle King said that under China absolute peak, there are about 80 people in the ninth grade environment.

After Lu Zhen appeared, and recently there was a breakthrough. This time the ninth grade powerhouse was all out, with as many as 82 people. The accident is not unexpected.

With the absolute peak boundary, there are just 99 people!

China ninth grade, one difference, you can break through 100 people!

The source list ranks at 82, and the Golden Body list is also more numerous than before!

“First, Li Changsheng, eighth grade eight forgings!”

“Second, Fang Ping, eighth grade eight forgings!”

“Third ……”

Two eighth grade eight forgings powerhouse, especially eye-catching, without him, the third powerhouse, eighth grade six forgings!

In the top ten, almost all eighth grade six forgings, but there was a time break after these two people, and there was no powerhouse with eighth grade seven forgings.

New Martial Era, Martial Arts had a time break, and eighth grade seven forgings were almost invisible. Today, there are no seven forgings, but two more eight forgings powerhouses, which surprised and shocked many people. .
