Douro Continent

"I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it anymore. These two guys are too wretched..." Although Ma Hongjun said so, he didn't dare to go up and expose these two brothers. His bad record is really worse than those two guys. There are even more wretched guys.

However, the faces of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were involved, had softened at this time.Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar who was looking at her tenderly, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the scars on his face.Although she also knew that Oscar and Dai Mubai's defense of each other had an element of exculpation.But the five years since Oscar left were her weakness, especially when she saw the scar on Oscar's face, her heart became extremely soft.

Zhu Zhuqing's situation was similar to hers, and she asked in a low voice: "You, you really told Xiao Ao that if we fail the family test, you..."

Dai Mubai sighed and said: "When you came to Shrek Academy, I understood your purpose. You came to supervise me. In fact, how could I want to harm you? I had already thought about it at that time. . If I fail to pass the test of my family in the future, I will shoulder the responsibility and do whatever it takes to find a way to keep you. As a man, how can I implicate a woman? Later, as I spent more and more time with you, But I fell hopelessly in love with you. My heart began to become selfish. I don’t want to die, because I want to spend every beautiful day with you in the future, and spend every spring together in the future. Summer, autumn and winter. So, I started practicing hard, not for survival, but just to be able to be with you longer."

Zhu Zhuqing's eye circles were a little red. She also knew that the previous words between Dai Mubai and Oscar were part of an act, but she could deeply feel that what Dai Mubai said at this time was completely from the heart.

It doesn't matter what happened before, what's important is that now this man only loves himself, and that's enough.Why should we hold on to everything in the past?What's more, neither Zhu Zhuqing nor Ning Rongrong had any intention of being too serious before.It's just a man who wants to knock himself out.At this time, the two men showed their true feelings, and naturally their beating could not continue.

Bai Chenxiang pinched the fat around the fat man's waist and said, "Look at this person, he is willing to sacrifice so much for his lover. You also said that he is wretched. Humph, I think it's because you are wretched in your heart."

"I..." Fatty was speechless for a while, "Xiangxiang, you have to believe me! I will give everything for you."

After hearing this, Bai Chenxiang's eyes couldn't help but soften a bit. When faced with danger, Fatty would stand in front of her without hesitation every time. It would be impossible for her to be unmoved at all.Although Fatty's appearance cannot be compared with Dai Mubai and Tang San.However, with this guy, there is no doubt about the sense of security.

When the fat man saw that Bai Chenxiang seemed to acquiesce to his words, he was immediately overjoyed and said sternly: "I'm going to practice. I also want to reach level [-] as soon as possible and break through to the soul saint realm. I will be able to protect you better in the future. ." After saying that, he walked directly to the side, leaving Bai Chenxiang with a thick back.

As the two lovers came to understand each other, the atmosphere calmed down.Although Oscar's seventh soul skill is hilarious, there is no doubt that the effect of this seventh soul skill has made the overall strength of the Shrek Seven Monsters rise again.

"Little San, can we try this second level now?" After coaxing Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai asked Tang San.

Tang San said: "We can start trying. Before we break through with all our strength, we must first find out which sea spirit beasts in the ring sea can pose a threat to us. What level they are roughly." When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit confused. worry.I prayed secretly, hoping that my judgment would not come true.Otherwise, the circular sea in front of us, which is not very wide, would really be an insurmountable gap.

Dai Mubai said: "Then you can arrange it. We all listen to you."

The authority Tang San established among the Seven Monsters was not just about strength. His wisdom, perseverance, and comprehensive ability in all aspects won the admiration of his partners.Even someone as arrogant as Dai Mubai would never compete with him for leadership.

Tang San said: "I have already made a plan. I am going to walk around this circular sea. You guys should observe carefully to see what magical beasts are in the sea. Mubai, you and Zhuqing are ready to use the Netherworld White Tiger to meet me at any time. Rongrong , you increase the amplitude for me. Xiao Ao, are your golden flies useful for soul bone skills?"

Oscar shook his head and said, "No, you can only increase your soul ring skills. Self-created soul skills, domain skills, and soul bone skills are not included."

Tang San said: "Then you give me a hyperactive pink sausage."

Oscar said: "Would you like to try my clone mirror sausage? Maybe you can't use your own soul skills, but you can use ours?"

Tang San smiled bitterly and said: "No need to try. My spirit rings are all locked. In addition to being able to use my spirit power, even with your copied mirror image intestine, I may not be able to use the copied skills. Don't worry. I have a moment Even if you can't pass the level with the transfer and the invincible golden body, self-protection is not a big problem. If you don't have the invincible golden body to protect your life, the task of investigation will be handed over to Boss Dai."

Without the various skills of the Blue Silver Emperor and the two major areas of martial soul real body, Tang San asked himself that at this time, in terms of overall strength, he was already inferior to Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and other partners who had also reached level seventy or above.Of course, if Tang San's endless variety of self-created soul skills and his own potential were fully exposed, it would still be difficult to tell the winner.

Dai Mubai said: "Let's start then, let's see what is blocking us from leaving Sea God Mountain in this second pass."

Tang San nodded, pointing his toes to the ground, his body had already jumped out, the improvement of his soul power made his Tang Sect martial arts also make great progress, he stepped on the ghost shadow, and he seemed to have a string of light behind him. The most peculiar thing is that the route he traveled seems to be straight, but it gives people an unpredictable feeling.

After a few dodgers, Tang San had arrived at the edge of the circular sea. The Blue Silver Domain was suddenly released, enhancing his senses. At the same time, he jumped up and rushed straight into the circular sea.The moment his body jumped out, the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone flew with his soul skill.Driven by the powerful internal force of Xuantian Kung, his body jumped out like a cannonball and shot directly into the sea.

Boom - Just when Tang San's body jumped less than five meters above the ground, the entire ring sea suddenly boiled, and the already turbulent waves exploded almost instantly, slamming heavily into the golden light barrier ten meters above the sea level. above.The strange thing is that the rising sea water did not splash out of the ring sea at all. It neither impacted the ground outside the ring sea nor rushed to the sacred mountain in Shanghai.At this moment, Tang San's body was completely enveloped in the sea water.But what the Shrek Seven Monsters could see was a strange dark blue water world.

A bright light shot out from Ning Rongrong's hand. Although she could not use her seventh soul skill, Nine Treasures Avatar, her soul power increased much faster than before.A total of six rays of light fell on Tang San almost at the same time. The six major increases of strength, agility, soul power, defense, attack, and attributes came together, penetrated into the sea water without reservation, and fell on Tang San. On the body.

When the six strange lights entered the sea water, Ning Rongrong's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "The boost of my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was affected by the unknown energy in the sea water, and the boost effect was weakened by 30.00%. Less than 60.00%." ​​You know, her current increase should have reached 80.00%.After weakening by 30.00%, the actual increase is only more than 50.00%.

The blue-silver domain light emitted from Tang San's body illuminated the surroundings of his body, not only for mental detection, but also for his companions to see clearly what was happening in the water from the Poseidon Mountain.

His whole body was instantly submerged by the sea water, and Tang San immediately realized something was wrong.When he was immersed in the sea water, there seemed to be a special energy in the sea water, which sluggished his figure and increased the consumption of his soul power.Even the scope of exploration in the Blue Silver Domain has been greatly reduced by the resistance of sea water.One after another, undercurrents continued to impact Tang San's body.Coupled with the strong buoyancy in the sea water, his figure suddenly became unstable.

Fortunately, Tang San had practiced under a waterfall and had some understanding of the water surname. Otherwise, with the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone pushing forward, he might have directly lost control of his body.

Even though Tang San had strong control, it was still a little difficult to adapt to being suddenly submerged in the water.This was naturally not the first time Tang San had invaded the water, but he clearly felt that the water in this ring sea was different.In addition to the restricted energy, the resistance in sea water is also surprisingly large.The most important thing is that Tang San doesn't know how he should move forward in the water.Although the flying skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone can propel his body, he still needs to adapt in order to move smoothly in water with resistance.

However, before Tang San could begin to adapt, he was already in danger.The arrow-shaped fish that had appeared when they climbed Poseidon Mountain and attacked Bai Chenxiang appeared in all directions around Tang San's body without warning.Their speed in the water is extremely fast, even faster than when they jumped out of the water and traveled in the air.Almost in an instant, a circle of more than a hundred arrow-shaped fish surrounded Tang San's body. Blue-purple light surrounded their bodies, and the rich soul power rippled into a large net in the sea water. All of Tang San's forward and backward paths were sealed.

Tang San had faced countless crises, and he didn't panic at all when faced with this sudden siege. He had faced situations that were much more dangerous than this.Although the environment in the water made him extremely uncomfortable, he also made the most correct response in the shortest time.

Holding one's breath in the water was nothing to him who had broken through the seventieth level of cultivation. The internal energy of the Xuantian Technique circulated rapidly in the unobstructed eight extraordinary meridians, forming a wonderful state of internal breathing. In this state, Tang San You can hold on for at least half an hour without feeling suffocated.

However, at this moment Tang San also realized the importance of the Vast Sea Universe Shield to him. If the Vast Sea Universe Shield existed at this moment, he would not need to be so passive at all.Not only can it sink quickly into the water without being affected by rough water, but it also eliminates the need to use internal breathing to resist the feeling of suffocation.

Confining the energy spurt in the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, a black light flashed from his hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer shining with faint magic patterns appeared in the palm of Tang San's left hand. The Clear Sky Hammer that had evolved with Tang San's increase in strength , weighing more than a thousand kilograms at this time, suddenly appeared in Tang San's grasp, and immediately drove his body to sink quickly into the sea.

When Tang San didn't make any movement before, those arrow-shaped fish and sea soul beasts just surrounded his body. Now when his body moved, those arrow-shaped fish immediately started to move and charged at him.In an instant, hundreds of arrow-shaped fish and sea soul beasts shot at Tang San like countless sharp arrows attached with soul power.Look at that posture, he won't stop until Tang San's body is pierced.

The Shrek Seven Devils on the shore could clearly see that when these arrow-shaped fish charged, their entire bodies turned into the same blue-purple color that had previously filled their surroundings, like streaks of light, extremely dazzling.As for Tang San, who was in the ring sea, there was no way he could avoid so many arrow-shaped fish in this unsheltered seawater.The resistance of the sea water could not bring out the advantage of his ghostly presence at all.

Dai Mubai and others' hearts clenched unconsciously. Of course they didn't think that these arrow-shaped fish could harm Tang San. After breaking through to the Soul Saint realm, Tang San's strength could only be described as terrifying.These arrow-shaped fish looked like they were only around the level of thousand-year soul beasts. Although they were numerous, they were not enough to threaten Tang San's life.But the important thing is that their second test has an important restriction, that is, during the test, they are not allowed to harm any sea soul beast in the ring sea.This made it impossible for Tang San, who was holding the Clear Sky Hammer, to kill them.Judging from the charging speed of these arrow-shaped fish, even if Tang San did not attack, as long as he allowed them to collide with him, the result would be tragic.The attacks of these arrow-shaped fish are clearly like suicide attacks.What would Tang San do?What can he do?

Tang San quickly gave the answer.I saw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand moving as lightly as nothing, swinging out diagonally from the lower left to the upper right. At the same time, his body rotated in the sea water. Even the sea water full of resistance could not affect his speed at this time.

Deep black light burst out from the Clear Sky Hammer. Although the Clear Sky Hammer did not have any soul rings attached, at this time it fully demonstrated its terrifying explosive power as a top-level weapon soul.Wherever the black light reaches, the sea water surges violently.Everyone who had already rushed to the shore could clearly see that the seawater around Tang San's body was violently distorted, and all the arrow-shaped fish that charged around his body were swayed by an invisible force in the water and scattered in all directions.They charge faster and are swept away faster.It was like countless blue-purple rays of light shot out from Tang San's body and spread out quickly.At this time, Tang San's body no longer sank, but was suspended in the water. It was obvious that he controlled the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer with his soul power.

However, the attack of the arrow-shaped fish sea spirit beasts had just begun. After being suddenly dispersed, they quickly adjusted their bodies in the ring sea and charged towards Tang San again, but this time they didn't Moving at the same time, more than a hundred arrow-shaped fish divided into ten groups very intelligently, and launched an almost seamless wave attack at Tang San.Each group of more than ten sea soul beasts attacked. After the first group was dispersed by the Clear Sky Hammer, the second group immediately pounced on them.They seemed to be sure that Tang San did not dare to hurt them, and the waves they struck became more fierce and faster than the last.The churning seawater keeps appearing distorted halos.

Facing the arrow-shaped fish and sea spirit beast's attack, Tang San's expression was like an ancient well, the Clear Sky Hammer fluttered up and down in his left hand, the strength used to shake these arrow-shaped fish away every time was just right, neither Let them rush in front of you, and use the undercurrent brought by the Clear Sky Hammer to blow them away without hurting them.

As time went on, Tang San's body quickly adapted to the pressure, resistance, and strange restricted energy of the sea water.He was already a little impatient with the constant impact of the arrow-shaped fish.After this period of trying, although he still doesn't know how much these arrow-shaped fish can bear, he also has his own method.

The Clear Sky Hammer continued to swing, but the additional soul power began to increase.Each time the arrow-shaped fish sea soul beasts charged, their backs vibrated farther and farther away. At the same time, their originally fast speed also began to decrease with Tang San's strength.

You must know that at this time, Tang San had the boost of Ning Rongrong's six major assistants. His soul power was no less powerful than that of a Contra-level expert. His eight extraordinary meridians were unblocked, making his return power extremely powerful. Extremely fast, the threat these arrow-shaped fish brought to him was far from enough. What really consumed his soul power was the suffocating sea.Although internal breathing can make him last longer.But at the same time, his soul power consumption will continue to increase as time goes by.

He snorted coldly in his heart and thought to himself, I won't play with you anymore. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his soul power strengthened again. At the same time, while the Clear Sky Hammer was swinging, it produced a strange melody vibration.Even the people on the shore could clearly see that every time Tang San swung his hammer, Haotianji itself would ripple out a circle of pure black light. When the arrow-shaped fish sea soul beast impacted around his body again, a wave of When he came into contact with the black light, he was like being electrocuted, and he lost his ability to move while trembling and convulsing.He was so shocked that he fainted.

What Tang San was performing at this time was the Zhenzi Jue among the Haotian Nine Jue, the secret technique of the Haotian Sect taught to him by Tang Hao.The Nine Arts of Haotian are not nine skills or moves, but nine methods of Haotian Hammer.Each one has its own characteristics, and this is the real secret skill of Haotian Sect.Compared with the somewhat useless random cloak hammering technique, Haotian Jiujue is a powerful ability that is truly used in actual combat.When Tang San competed with the Seventh Elder of the Haotian Sect, the elder did not use the Nine Arts of Haotian, otherwise, Tang San would never have been able to win.

Even among the direct disciples of the Haotian School, not everyone can pass on the Nine Perfections, only with the joint approval of the suzerain and the elders can they be passed on.Just like the Tang Sect's deepest hidden weapon technique back then.

After carefully examining the arrow-shaped fish sea soul beast's endurance, Tang San easily defused this attack with the help of the Zhen Zi Jue.Nearly half of the hundreds of arrow-shaped fish were stunned by him, and the remaining ones no longer dared to charge. They only dared to bluff around the perimeter, constantly shuttled and interfered with the seawater around Tang San's body.

To Tang San, the water surname was really not that good.But he has his own method. The method is very simple, which is to control his balance in the water with his soul power.After mastering the balance, use the soul power to push your body forward in the water.Although this will consume a lot of his soul power.And the progress of the trip couldn't be any faster, but this was the only way he could think of at the moment.

Shocking the arrow-shaped fish, Tang San stabilized his body and started to go deeper.At this moment, he has only entered the ring sea for more than [-] meters, and he is still far away from the opposite shore.At the moment, while familiarizing himself with the way of moving forward in the sea, he carefully observed his surroundings.

The two sides of the circular sea were only more than 200 meters apart. Tang San had already entered one-tenth of the way, and was still 180 meters away from the other shore. 180 meters, on the 6th floor, is just a blink of an eye for him.But although he defeated the arrow-shaped fish in front of him, the remaining 180 meters was obviously not so easy to pass.

With a flash of figure, Tang San suddenly disappeared from his original position.When he reappeared, his body had moved forward five meters.That's right, he used his Xiaowu soul bone skill to transfer instantly.

When Tang San reappeared in the sea, his expression had become a little ugly.He finally understood where the inexplicable energy in the sea restricted him.If it were on land, Tang San's teleportation would already be able to teleport anywhere within a hundred meters.This is the limit that Xiaowu soul bone can reach.The circular sea is only 6 meters wide. Under normal circumstances, he only needs two teleports to reach the other shore.Since arriving here, Tang San has never used this almost abnormal skill.But the teleportation just now made him very angry. It wasn't that he didn't use all his strength, but that he only teleported five meters in the sea with all his strength. The teleportation ability of 200 meters was actually compressed twenty times.The restrictions in this sea water can be imagined.Tang San understood that the restricted energy in the sea water was probably aimed at skills such as teleportation or teleportation.Don't give any chance to the people on your side who are undergoing the test to take advantage of the situation.

Just as Tang San felt depressed after experimenting with teleportation, he suddenly felt a strange wave coming from his surroundings.It was a wave of energy, but it was also like a wave of sound.Where did the sound come from in the sea?

The next moment, Tang San immediately realized that he was in trouble.Because, although the arrow-shaped fish sea soul beasts that originally surrounded his body did not dare to attack anymore, but had been harassing him, they had now fled in all directions. These thousand-year-old soul beasts were so loyal that even their stunned companions also It was taken.For a moment, the sea area around Tang San's body suddenly became clear.The suffocating pressure spread throughout Tang San's body at this moment.

A huge shadow came from a distance, before Tang San could clearly see its appearance, there was already an irresistible force in the sea, Tang San only had time to protect his chest with the Clear Sky Hammer, Before he could make the next move, he was already thrown away by the turbulent undercurrent.

With a puff, Tang San broke through the water and rushed straight to the Sea God Mountain.Although the Seagod's Light will no longer bring pressure to everyone who passed the first assessment, the mission of protecting Seagod Mountain has not disappeared. Tang San's whole body softened intuitively, as if he had fallen into a pile of cotton. The next moment, his The person already seemed to be embedded in the Seagod's Light, slowly sliding down against the mountain.

Until this moment, Tang Sancai clearly felt that his energy and blood suddenly surged, and his whole body felt indescribably uncomfortable. It seemed that every meridians had been shocked.

The injury was not serious, Tang San felt like he had knocked them away like the arrow-shaped fish before, but now he was also blown away by the sudden huge force.My whole body felt numb.As the soul power circulates rapidly, this feeling of powerlessness gradually disappears.

Failure is not terrible, and Tang San never thought that he could pass the test directly. He was just testing it this time.But what depressed him was that he didn't even know what was blasting him out of the ring sea.The moment he received the impact of the undercurrent, the blue silver field he spread out fell into temporary chaos.

"Xiao San, are you okay?" Dai Mubai rushed over immediately and pulled Tang San up from the ground.

"I'm fine, what was it just now? Did you see it clearly?" Tang San asked eagerly.

Hearing his question, the faces of everyone who followed Dai Mubai became ugly, and Dai Mubai's expression became even more solemn.

Ma Hongjun said angrily: "Although I guessed that the assessment was perverted, I didn't expect it to be so perverted. We observed carefully, and besides those arrow-shaped fishes that started to attack you, there was only one other kind of sea monster." The soul beast, that is, the sea soul beast that attacked you last. There is only one sea soul beast of this kind."

Dai Mubai said: "It is a white shark, with a length of about 25 meters, but its huge size does not affect its flexibility at all. It moves extremely fast. From appearing to disappearing, it only takes a few blinks of an eye. , almost as soon as we thought about it, you were bombarded by the sea water driven by a blue light released from it. Then it turned around and left."

Tang San sucked in a cold breath, "Great White Shark? In this ring sea, there is actually a Great White Shark."

Dai Mubai smiled bitterly and said: "It's not just as simple as the Demonic Great White Shark. Do you still remember what Purple Pearl said? She said that in the waters outside Poseidon Island, there has always been a 10-year-old Demonic Great White Shark guarding the sea. The body length of a shark is about 20 meters. The body length of the Demonic Great White Shark just now is definitely over 20 meters. Although you cannot use soul skills now and are greatly restricted in the water. But you were in glory just now after all. Under the full power of Rong, it can knock you out of the water without any ability to resist, which clearly shows its identity."

After listening to Dai Mubai's explanation, Tang San's slightly dizzy brain suddenly came to his senses. The light in his eyes suddenly became much more solidified, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the one who attacked me just now was actually the Demonic Great White Shark King?" , that 10-year-old demon soul great white shark guarding Poseidon Island? But, how did it come to this ring sea? "

Oscar said: "There are several inland seas in Poseidon Island. These inland seas are not fresh water without salt. It is conceivable that these seawaters should also come from the outside sea. Therefore, there may be these inland seas and open seas under Poseidon Island. There are connected passages. If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain why the demon soul Great White Shark King appears here. It must be our assessment that attracted it to this ring sea. It prevents us from completing the mission. But look at it The ability I used when I attacked you just now doesn’t seem to mean harming us, it just prevents us from crossing the sea.”

Tang San nodded, and said: "It seems like this is the case, only this explanation is reasonable. 10 year spirit beast. Lord Seagod really thinks highly of us! In the second test, let us face the 10 year spirit beast. The test of the soul beast."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and their faces became very ugly.

Zhu Zhuqing said: "I hope that Demon Soul Great White Shark will not really launch a fatal attack on us. Otherwise, we will have no chance of escaping unscathed when passing through this ring sea."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Tang San's mind, "That's right! Although the test we accepted was difficult, it's impossible for us to face 10-year-old spirit beasts in the second test. Although this test is difficult, it should still have some Restricted. The condition for us to pass the assessment is only to break through the blockade of the ring sea and reach the other shore. It is not to defeat the 10-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark. Since it did not kill me just now, then we can temporarily predict that this one The mission of the 10-year Demon Soul Great White Shark is to block rather than destroy. In this way, our chances of passing the test are quite high. Perhaps, this is also a good opportunity for us to enhance our actual combat capabilities."

Ma Hongjun was stunned: "Enhance the actual combat ability? Third brother, you don't want us to fight that devil spirit great white shark, do you?"

Tang San chuckled and said: "What's not possible? Facing a 10-year-old spirit beast in sea water with a lot of restrictions and unable to breathe. The pressure on us can be imagined. And this 10-year-old spirit beast Soul beasts will not really hurt us. Is there any better partner than this? Not only can we practice our water surname, but it will also greatly improve our actual combat ability. This is what we will do in the next nine months. The best way to practice. Of course, the premise is that we must be sure that the Demonic Great White Shark will not cause any substantial harm to us."

Oscar suddenly said: "From this point of view, the Sea God's assessment is not only a test, but also a training opportunity for those who participate in the assessment. The assessment we face is so difficult, but at the same time, the cultivation method provided to us is also the best. I agree with Xiaosan In my opinion, the first test of the Seagod's Light is to temper our soul power, and the second test to break through the ring blockade is probably to temper our actual combat ability. And it is the actual combat ability in the sea full of resistance. It seems that this time We had a chance to learn how to swim."

Ma Hongjun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a bitter face: "I hate water, and now I really hope that the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark can strike lightly."

Dai Mubai chuckled, and said: "What are you afraid of, how can you see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain? No one can succeed casually. Let's go, Xiao San, this time I will go into the sea with you. Let's see if this Demon Soul Great White Shark can Really hurt us."

5 minute later.

Boom, boom—two figures broke out of the boiling annular sea, and the heavy impact slowly slid down on the Poseidon's Light.

Dai Mubai got up in a daze, grinning his teeth and said: "This great white shark king is really disrespectful! My bones are about to fall apart."

Tang San said with a bitter face: "You are not bad. You are the first time, and this is the second time for me. However, now we can basically be sure that this King of Demon Soul Great White Shark has no malice towards us. .It uses an attack method similar to the one I stun the arrow-shaped fish sea spirit beast, which is more like a prank."

(To be continued)
