Chapter 234 So what about the true martial arts realm, look at the gun!
The palace examination martial arts test lasts for one day. As Emperor Dayuan announced the start of the martial arts exam, the rules for this year's martial arts exam also appeared in front of everyone. The system is simple yet cruel. If you can withstand one punch from a strong man from Yuanchu Mountain, you can become a martial arts scholar. If you can withstand two punches from a strong man from Yuanchu Mountain, you will be qualified to compete for the No. 1 and No. 2 pick. Those who remain standing after two punches will decide the outcome among themselves, and the number one martial arts champion, second martial arts champion, etc. will be selected. As soon as the content came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Chu Linguang, Yan Zhen and Qin Yu have now come into contact with the strong men of Yuanchu Mountain. In the eyes of the three of them, Zhang Xuan and Li Mao are both beings with unfathomable strength. But for the palace examination and martial arts examination, there were more than two hundred candidates. Everyone's strength has reached the Qi Sea Perfection Realm, or even stronger. Chu Linguang estimated that among the more than two hundred people, not only Yan Zhen and Qin Yu may have reached the True Martial Realm. Because according to the regulations of the court.
After passing the Wugongshi examination, you can rest for up to three years and wait for the next assessment. Among the more than two hundred people, many are Wugongshi from the previous class. They have been dormant for three years and are very ambitious. Many of them are They all came towards Wu Zhuangyuan. Even Yan Zhen and Qin Yu felt stressed. Therefore, most people should be able to withstand one punch from the strong man from Yuanchu Mountain. Chu Linguang felt that he could also withstand two punches. However, when everyone was expecting a group of Yuanchu Mountain strongmen to appear in front of them, there were only three Yuanchu Mountain strongmen who appeared in Yushouyuan. It was Yun Hong, Zhang Xuan, and Li Mao. As an outer disciple of Yuanchu Mountain, Yunhong was standing behind Zhang Xuan and Li Mao, waiting for them to give orders. "Take out all your defensive power and don't hold anything back. Otherwise, if you die in our hands, you will ask for it." Zhang Xuan said. Everyone whispered, are they the only two people testing everyone's strength?
"boom!" But at this moment, a terrifying aura burst out from the bodies of Zhang Xuan and Li Mao. Everyone couldn't help but squat down, feeling as if the sky was falling. Chu Linguang discovered that the harmless fluctuations of humans and animals in the imperial beast circle seemed to be pulled by the auras of Zhang Xuan and Li Mao, and turned into wild beasts, watching everyone from above. "This is……" Yan Zhen's eyes widened. He felt that Zhang Xuan's aura seemed to be in harmony with the essence of heaven and earth within the entire beast-controlling circle, and he could control this power for his own use. "Potential energy, such terrifying potential energy, much stronger than my sword power, and your sword power. How did he do it?" Qin Yu said in horror. "I feel that he resonates with the world. The entire Beast Control Circle is his domain. His state of mind at least reaches the point where the heart and mind are in harmony, or even the heart and mind are in harmony." "They can clearly capture the responses from outside the body, and can control external forces for their own use at any time. This is much more powerful than the potential energy we have. In fact, this is the real potential energy. strength!" Chu Linguang said continuously. With his sea of consciousness even more powerful than Yun Hong, he could not only clearly feel how strong the auras of Zhang Xuan and Li Mao were at this moment, but he could also find that Zhang Xuan and Li Mao seemed to have turned into two great gods.
They seem to be able to control the power of heaven and earth with their thoughts, which is much more powerful than him using his consciousness to control the power of wind and waves. He can only control one or two potential forces within a limited range, but Li Mao and Zhang Xuan can instantly control the entire world force of the Beast Yuan. This force of heaven and earth contains more than one potential force. It was as if a natural sea of energy appeared above everyone. "Accept!" Zhang Xuan said. The voice was faint, but it was like thunder exploding in everyone's hearts. At that moment, even the strong men of the True Martial Realm like Yan Zhen and Qin Yu broke out their strongest defenses. Chu Linguang didn't dare to neglect. Not only did he activate the six levels of Dharma and instigate the energy shield, he also summoned the Xuanwu divine power. "boom!" As Zhang Xuan finished speaking. He punched out, activating the power of heaven and earth. In an instant, substantial fist seals fell from the sky, pouring out from the power of heaven and earth, and hit everyone's chests. Yan Zhen and Qin Yu both groaned. Chu Linguang took half a step back. As for the others, most of them fell down, their Dharma forms collapsed, their energy shields shattered, and their bloodline magical powers were in chaos. At this moment, Chu Linguang felt that his previous idea was a bit ridiculous. He actually thought about a group of strong men from Yuanchu Mountain appearing in the Yushou Circle, testing everyone's strength one by one, and giving everyone a punch. It turns out that when one reaches a certain level of cultivation, one can control the power of heaven and earth to form a terrifying realm, which is much more powerful than the power of swords and guns. A single thought can make people shatter into pieces. He finally understood why Yuanchu Mountain could stand behind Dayuan. No matter how many times the court changed, Yuanchu Mountain always stood firm. It turns out that this is the power of transcending the world. At this moment, Chu Linguang, Yan Zhen and others also realized why the imperial court would let the strong men from Yuanchu Mountain test everyone's strength during the palace examination. This is to use force to crush, let everyone understand how powerful Yuanchu Mountain is, and have awe and illusions about Yuanchu Mountain, so that they can be loyal to the court, find ways to make contributions, and determine to enter Yuanchu Mountain to practice. One punch, just one punch. Half of them fell down. There are even many people who can still stand, but their physical appearance has collapsed, and they are struggling to support themselves only with the power of the sea of qi. "boom!" Without waiting for other reactions from everyone. Li Mao also raised his hand and punched out. The power of heaven and earth gathered above everyone's heads. At this moment, it condensed into dozens of fist seals and hit those who could still stand. "boom!"
At this moment, more than 90% of the people flew out. Chu Linguang instigated the Xuanwu divine power to condense the six layers of dharma and energy shields into a perfect state. With the powerful power of the sea of consciousness, he could always feel the trajectory of the power of heaven and earth. The 100,000-point value of the state of mind evolution method he practiced has been perfected. If the forty-six responses had not been awakened, perhaps his state of mind had entered the fourth level and reached the state of unity between heart and mind. He tried to find the secret of how Zhang Xuan and Li Mao could resonate with heaven and earth and be able to control multiple potential forces at once. pity. The gap between the two sides was too big. Even though Chu Lin's sea of light consciousness surpassed Yun Hong in power, it was still difficult for him to capture the secret in this instant. "boom!" The punch mark hit his chest. The six levels of Dharma and the energy shields were all shattered. All the wild power was also suppressed, and only the Xuanwu divine power was struggling to hold on. The black lines on it were lightning and thunder, and electric threads emerged from the black lines, trying to grab the fist mark on the chest. "what!" Chu Linguang roared angrily, slid his feet backwards, gathered his Xuanwu power, and used all his strength to resist the fist mark that wanted to penetrate into his body. He originally wanted to mobilize the power of potential energy to fight against the power of wind and waves and the slow potential energy. He even wanted to form a spear momentum and form a small field of his own. It turns out that in this beast-controlling garden, the only people who can control the power of potential are Zhang Xuan and Li Mao, and they seem to have become the masters of this world. Even the gun attack will be defeated by them in an instant. Even Yan Zhen and Qin Yu didn't dare to use their swords or swords to resist. They can only rely on Dharma, energy, and magical powers to fight. Yan Zhen and Qin Yu's strength had both reached the True Martial Realm. This second punch made them take five or six steps back. Chu Linguang slid back a dozen steps and watched the fist seal sink into his chest. At this moment, in Chu Linguang's body, under the third level of state of mind, the forty-six responses that had not yet been awakened in the state of mind map appeared. There was a relatively strong resonance and a special tremor that appeared together in the forty-six responses. Chu Linguang was ecstatic in his heart. Are the forty-six responses going to be awakened at this moment? Once awakened. He will have a power that is more terrifying than the Xuanwu divine power, and he can step into the true martial arts realm with his cultivation. Maybe he can compete with Yan Zhen and others to be the martial arts champion of this session. pity. The tremor lasted only a moment. When the fist seal was submerged into the body and the power was absorbed by the physical body, the phenomenon of the forty-six responses and trembling disappeared. Chu Linguang's backward sliding steps also stopped. He looked around.
It was discovered that there were only thirteen people left standing, including him. Meng Xiaochuan, Pu Shiyi, and Tuoba Yunhong were among them. Xuanyuan Jinkang squatted on the ground and looked at him feebly. Xia Zhong, Xu Kanghui, and Long Xin also sat on the ground with disappointed expressions. Except for those who could still stand, most of them were either lying on the ground, squatting on the ground and covering their chests with their hands, or even kneeling on the ground coughing up blood. Some of them even passed out and were carried out of the Royal Beast Garden for treatment. Li Mao's second punch, which contained all his remaining strength, was far more terrifying than Zhang Xuan's punch. There were only a few people who could withstand it. Chu Linguang took this opportunity to look at the traces left by everyone on the ground. With the first punch, he took half a step back. With the second punch, he slid back more than a dozen steps. His physical appearance and energy shield collapsed, and his breath became a little messy. He first looked at Yan Zhen and Qin Yu. The two of them are worthy of being strong in the True Martial Realm. After resisting the two punches of Zhang Xuan and Li Mao, they only took four or five steps back. Although each step left deep footprints, their auras were long and powerful, and there was no magic or energy shield. collapse. "Well, he is..." At this time, Chu Linguang saw a man in black clothes, his feet planted on the ground, standing on the ground with gravel bricks, and he didn't even take a step back. Moreover, both the Dharma Appearance and the Qi Power Shield were running. It seemed that Zhang Xuan and Li Mao's attacks were blocked by the Dharma Appearance and the Qi Power Gang Shield alone. "It's him!" "Hu Yanlin." "In the last conference, it was said that he almost entered the top three." "What a strong aura, a true martial artist!" Not only Chu Linguang noticed the man in black shirt, Yan Zhen and Qin Yu were also attracted by the man in black shirt. From the conversation among the people, Chu Linguang learned that the other party's identity information was that he was a ruthless character in the last Wugongshi class and almost entered the top three. This guy could endure it and was able to wait another three years before taking the palace examination. To know. The sooner you serve the court, the more advantage you will have for future promotions. Once your age exceeds the limit and your energy and blood decline, you will have various difficulties in getting promoted. Therefore, not everyone can bear to take the palace examination again after three years. Unless you have absolute confidence that you can achieve top results in the next session. It was obvious that the man in black, Hu Yanlin, was such a person. Otherwise, based on his previous ability, even if he did not rank among the best in the last imperial examination, it would still be very easy to obtain the title of Martial Jinshi. These three years of dormancy have allowed the other party to become a strong man in the True Martial Realm, posing a great threat to both Yan Zhen and Qin Yu. Chu Linguang looked at the marks under the opponent's feet again. The stone bricks shattered and his feet sank into the ground. This should be the force-removing technique used to absorb the force while converting the impact force. It just so happened that Chu Linguang also had mastery of this method.
When he was fighting against the fist seal just now, he also used the Heaven-reaching Earth Kung Fu. Unfortunately, Zhang Xuan and Li Mao were too strong, and their punches were fast and fierce. The fist power transferred to the ground by Chu Linguang was very little. Hu Yanlin apparently successfully converted most of his power into the ground. Chu Linguang was somewhat curious as to whether the other party's ability was due to magical power or whether he had mastered a more advanced method of power conversion. In short, the opponent is the only one who, after receiving punches from Zhang Xuan and Li Mao, stood still and did not retreat at all, and even breathed as usual. His existence brings great threat to everyone. "Congratulations to the thirteen of you for standing out. The top three in the palace examination will be selected from the thirteen of you." One of the princes and ministers congratulated. After he finished speaking to everyone, he trotted up to the palace stage and accepted the instructions from Emperor Yuan. Then he returned to the steps and said to the thirteen people: "Your Majesty has a purpose to select talents. It is not only based on your talents and skills, but more importantly. What matters is your moral character and loyalty. His Majesty hopes that you can lead by example and set an example for the people. Therefore, the selection rules for the top three in the palace examination are force and loyalty." Hearing this, the thirteen people looked at each other. Force is easy to understand. Everyone depends on their ability. What's the point of loyalty? Did you hear everyone swearing an oath of alliance? Just when the thirteen people were confused. A rockery behind him trembled violently, like a door opening to both sides. Everyone saw that inside the rockery, there was a huge black stone altar with an iron sword stuck on it. "You have two quarters of an hour to see who is closest to the sword. The distance will determine the outcome. If you can pull the sword out of the stone altar, you will be the only one in the world." The prince and minister said again. "Special fluctuations." "There must be something fishy." Thirteen people whispered. Chu Linguang thought of the stone tablet on the mountain behind the Northern Trial Field, and everyone's eyes were on that stone altar. "start!" The prince and minister said again. "call!" As soon as the words fell, thirteen people ejected almost at the same time. The top three in the palace examination had unspeakable honors among them. It would be extremely easy to be promoted in the future. Even Chu Linguang did not want to miss the opportunity. They all used all their strength, wanting to jump directly onto the stone altar and pull out the iron sword. However, when everyone entered the rockery area, the surrounding space seemed to have turned into a quagmire, making everyone trapped in it and struggling to move. Compared to the gravity-releasing stone tablet at the back of the Northern Trial Field, the stone altar in front of you seemed to have an invisible sticky resistance that blocked everyone's path and could even bounce them away. The three people who were lucky enough to make it to the end were bounced out almost as soon as they landed. They suffered internal injuries and lost the chance to continue sprinting. "what!"
Meng Xiaochuan screamed strangely. The Dharma Aspect was fully opened, his energy surged, and the veins all over his body were bulging. He took the lead to take a step forward. His eyes were red, and he vowed to be the first to reach the stone altar, pull out the iron sword, and become the only one in the world. Wu champion. "Clap!" However, before his back foot could catch up, the sole of the front shoe shattered, and a string of blue flames suddenly appeared from the ground, wrapping his right leg. At that moment, he was filled with pain, and the flames jumped up, burning more and more fiercely. He seemed to be on a battlefield, surrounded by a sea of fire, and a shaky flag was planted on the ground in front of him. It was the military flag of the Yuan Dynasty, a symbol of royal dignity. It was about to be swallowed up by the flames. The charcoal fell off the flagpole. If it continued to burn, the flag would fall down and be swallowed up by everyone. Such a scene appeared not only in the eyes of Meng Xiaochuan, but also in the eyes of Chu Linguang, Yan Zhen and others. That moment. The stone altar emitted waves like waves, penetrating into everyone's bodies and even rushing into everyone's sea of consciousness. "Buzz!" Chu Linguang's sea of consciousness has three apertures, and his defense is stronger than Yunhong's. In the sea of consciousness, he also awakened the power of his mind. A luster appeared in the small ocean. He felt the invasion of the enemy. The light of the three-layer aperture outside the sea of consciousness surged. The luster in the small ocean, which was the power of his mind, also changed at this moment. It has to become brighter and brighter. Everything in Chu Linguang's sight was fading away. He saw that his body was surrounded by special fluctuations, and he was stuck in the quagmire, struggling to move. The pain of the burning fire disappeared, and there was no flag of the Yuan Dynasty in front of him, only the flag on the stone altar. of that sword. He relied on the powerful power of the sea of consciousness to break free from the illusion. But that super strong resistance required force to break it, so he mobilized his Xuanwu divine power, slowly moved his steps, and walked in front of Meng Xiaochuan little by little. "what!" Suddenly, Meng Xiaochuan screamed. The body flew backwards. In his world, his hand could not reach the flag. Seeing the fire burning, he had the intention to retreat. He did not want to care about the flag. He wanted to find the flag in the sea of fire that could make him a martial artist. The iron sword of the number one scholar. As a result, the burning pain skyrocketed. After all, he couldn't resist it and was bounced back by the force. When he regained consciousness, he found that there were no traces of being burned by the flames at all, and he also lost the chance to continue sprinting towards the iron sword. "Buzz!" Three trembling sounds were heard. Yan Zhen, Qin Yu, and Hu Yanlin finally broke through the illusion with their strong force value. When they saw Chu Linguang approaching the stone altar, they speeded up their steps in unison. With the power of the True Martial Realm, they moved forward faster than Chu Linguang. "when!" But Chu Linguang still had the advantage of distance and stepped onto the stone altar first, and at this time, the resistance completely disappeared. He looked overjoyed.
His hand quickly grabbed the iron sword. "what?" Everyone was horrified. Their expressions changed drastically. Once Chu Linguang pulled out the iron sword, he would be the only one in the world to be the top martial artist. "Ok?" However, when Chu Lin touched the iron sword with his bare hands, it passed through the hilt. He grabbed it back and forth several times but failed, as if the iron sword on the stone altar was a phantom. "How could this be?" Chu Linguang was puzzled. Also at this time. Yan Zhen, Qin Yu and Hu Yanlin stepped onto the stone altar almost at the same time. The three of them felt that the resistance disappeared instantly, and they all reached out to grab the iron sword, but they all failed like Chu Linguang. They didn't believe in evil and tried to catch him several times. As a result, no one could touch the iron sword. "Strange, does this sword not exist at all?" Qin Yu said doubtfully. "Hmph, whether you are here or not, the final criterion is who is closest to the sword shadow. Everyone standing on the stone altar is my obstacle!" Hu Yanlin snorted coldly. Hearing this, Chu Linguang and the others immediately became alert. "Chu Linguang, the three of us are at the True Martial Realm. This is not the place you should come." Hu Yanlin looked at Chu Lin Guangdao. "Although my realm is not as good as yours, it's still unclear who will win." Chu Linguang retorted. "boom!" Hu Yanlin heard this and punched Chu Linguang. This punch was like an overwhelming force. There was only a shadow of the fist, but it felt like a mountain hitting Chu Linguang's chest. Chu Linguang hurriedly used his spear to resist, sparing no effort to use the Xuanwu divine power. Because the distance was too close and the stone altar was only ten square meters, he could not use his spear to hit Hu Yanlin's fist, so he could only use the gun body to resist. "boom!" The lightning gun bent and rebounded. Hu Yanlin stepped forward bravely and easily shed the power. On the other hand, Chu Linguang was caught off guard. In addition, his realm was weaker than Hu Yanlin's, and he almost fell off the stone altar.
"boom!" Hu Yanlin took advantage of the victory and pursued Chu Linguang's chest with another punch. This punch was accompanied by the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, as if it was the purest power in Hu Yanlin's dantian. Yan Zhen and Qin Yu secretly yelled that they were allies. Seeing that Chu Linguang was about to be knocked off the stone altar by Hu Yanlin, they both wanted to help. "Don't help me!" But Chu Linguang shouted loudly. He used the gun body to block Hu Yanlin's punch again. "boom!" With this punch, even though Chu Linguang used the Tong Tian Che Earth Kung Fu to remove part of the force, he still fell off the stone plate and was swallowed up by the sticky resistance. As if he was caught in the current, he slid backwards and was about to slide out of the area of resistance. "Ding!" At the last moment, Chu Linguang nailed his spear to the ground and stopped at the edge. Then a sea of fire appeared in front of him again, and he saw the crumbling flag again. But under the powerful power of the sea of consciousness, this illusion quickly disappeared. "If you don't have the strength of the True Martial Realm, don't step onto the stone altar, let alone try to compete for the top three!" Hu Yanlin looked at the people under the stone altar and said. Hearing this, Pu Shiyi, Tuoba Yunhong and a few others all instinctively looked at Chu Linguang who had just stood up behind him. Chu Linguang's strength was obvious to all. He practiced with a strong man from Yuanchu Mountain for a month in the academy, but he was knocked away by Hu Yanlin with two punches. Even if they walked through the resistance and walked onto the stone altar, they would not be Hu Yanlin's opponents, not to mention that Yan Zhen and Qin Yu were still eyeing them. "Now, there are only three of us on the stone altar. Who is the top martial artist? Let's see the real seal for our subordinates!" Hu Yanlin opened his stance and released terrifying fist power. As his fists changed, a fist force enveloped the stone altar. He used his fists to enter the force, and unexpectedly reached a tangible state. The power of his fists was all around, like leaves, appearing on the stone altar. "Well done!" Yan Zhen is not willing to be outdone. The sword force was also released quickly, and a sword energy visible to the naked eye appeared on the stone altar at the same time, covering Qin Yu and Hu Yanlin. "bring it on!" Qin Yu also shouted loudly. His sword power only reached the first level, but with the blessing of multiple bloodline magical powers, the sword roared continuously, and there was a looming sword energy emerging. Obviously, he was only one step away from the second level of tangible realm of sword power.
"This……" Under the stone altar, Pu Shiyi and Tuoba Yunhong, who were already thinking of retreating, saw this scene and instinctively retreated. It was impossible for them to block the three waves of potential energy coming from the strong men of the True Martial Realm. It feels like if you step into the stone altar, you will be torn into pieces by those three forces. After all, they only have the strength of the Qi Sea Perfection Realm. However, Chu Linguang, who almost flew out of the range of the fluctuation, relied on Xuanwu divine power to walk in front of Tuoba Yunhong and others again. Under the gaze of several people, he continued walking towards the stone altar. "Howl!" Each one has his own camp on the stone altar. Three potential forces enveloped the stone altar. "boom!" Hu Yanlin punched out. When Yan Zhen and Qin Yu were enveloped by the fist again, they were both attacked at the same time and covered by the force of the fist. "Howl!" Yan Zhen and Qin Yu both struck out with their swords at the critical moment. Three forces gathered in the center of the stone altar. "Oh!" There was a loud noise. Tuoba Yunhong, hundreds of millions of people around the world felt their scalps numb and couldn't help but retreat. On the stone altar, Yan Zhen and Hu Yanlin each took a step forward with the help of the second level of power of their swords and fists. Qin Yu took half a step back. At this time, Chu Linguang came under the stone altar. He stepped on it without hesitation. "Chu Linguang, are you looking for death?" Tuoba Yunhong shouted. "Who said that without the strength of the True Martial Realm, you can't compete for the top three!" Chu Linguang didn't seem to hear, but asked loudly. What responded to him was a punch from Hu Yanlin with all his strength. Because he stepped onto the stone altar, Chu Linguang was also within the scope of Hu Yanlin's fist. Under the second layer of tangible power, this punch completely covered Chu Linguang.
"Howl!" Yan Zhen and Qin Yu also passively defended and attacked, and all three forces wanted to occupy the home court on the stone altar. "call!" At this moment, Chu Linguang saw three forces sweeping towards him at the same time. Standing on the edge, he stabbed out decisively, using all his strength to release the magical power of flesh and blood, and the power of the sea of consciousness merged together with that invisible penetrating power. The weak spear power also enveloped the stone altar at this moment. The three of them looked at him in surprise. Chu Linguang only has the strength of Qi Sea Perfection Realm. The more scattered the power of the spear, the weaker its power. When he steps on the stone altar, he has to accept their attacks at the same time. "Even if my strength is not as good as yours, I want you to know that no matter who takes the top three away from me, they will have to pay a price!" "what!" Chu Linguang looked crazy. At this moment, he seemed to be the first to shoot forward. The Xuanwu divine power and the flesh and blood magical power invisibly resonated, and the sea of consciousness at the center of the eyebrows trembled violently, fluctuating like diamond-shaped fragments. With the flesh and blood magical power and the Xuanwu divine power, it penetrated into Yan Zhen, Qin Yu, and Hu Yanlin. within the body. "I see." Chu Linguang finally understood why his magical power of flesh and blood could ignore all kinds of defenses and penetrate directly into the opponent's internal organs. At first, he thought that the power was simply a special wave like spiritual consciousness, which could not be stopped by the law and energy. At this moment, through the brief resonance between the supernatural power of flesh and blood and the magical power of Xuanwu, he realized that the power that made the enemy feel distressed was through special fluctuations that affected the enemy's Qi and blood, causing their Qi and blood to invisibly affect his own five internal organs. The six internal organs collide. "boom!" Yan Zhen, Qin Yu, and Hu Yanlin all felt pain in their hearts. The shadow of the knife, sword, and fist also swept towards Chu Linguang at this moment. Chu Linguang's figure flew out from the stone altar and flew past Tuoba Yunhong and others. He fell heavily outside the range of the wave and lost the fight for the top three. Qualifications. "Pfft!" But Yan Zhen, Qin Yu and Hu Yanlin on the stone altar were all vomiting blood at this moment and their bodies could not help but arch up. They felt as if their internal organs were stabbed solidly by Chu Linguang, and their own sword power, sword power, and fist power were all disintegrated by this shot. Chu Linguang taught them a lesson, and the strength of Qi Sea Perfection Realm should not be underestimated. Zhang Xuan and Li Mao stared at Chu Linguang who fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Chu Linguang had a dream. He dreamed that he was in a sea of fire, raising the crumbling flag, and the flag turned into an iron sword in his hands. (End of this chapter)
