Longevity: Starting From the Luck Entry

 The depths of the outer starry sky.

Boom—

The sky and the earth roared, and the starry sky shook.

A dazzling lightning cut through the endless darkness, seeming to illuminate the entire dark universe as bright as day.

 Many saints and even demon saints were startled by the sudden thunder, and their hearts trembled suddenly.

next moment.

After the dazzling white light dissipated, they looked at the scene in the distance and couldn't help but look stunned.

 I saw billowing clouds of calamity suddenly gathering in the dark and cold depths of the universe.

Threads of red lightning shuttled through the calamity clouds, reflecting the outlines of ancient stars in the dark universe.

The starry sky where Jiang Yuan was in front seemed to be in a thunder purgatory.

 The roiling calamity clouds collided with each other, inspiring terrifying thunder, and the thunder light tore through the dark universe,

The sky and the earth roared, and the universe shook.

 The vast power of heaven also began to descend.

Countless black calamity clouds surged and converged on Jiang Yuan's head from all directions, and streaks of silver thunder dragons tore through the dark universe.

Even though they were extremely far away from Jiang Yuan, they felt the looming vast power of heaven, and their hearts were filled with panic.

 “He actually caused a disaster!”

“What Jiang Yuan said is indeed true, the saint’s calamity actually appeared in his hands!”

“After disappearing for millions of years, Jiang Yuan appears again. Jiang Yuan indeed has a big secret!”

ˆ “.”

At this moment, a saint and a demon saint looked at the scene in the distance, full of wonder, and bursts of splendor flashed in their eyes.

 At the same time, on the other side.

Changqing True Immortal stood in the depths of the void. Looking at the scene in the distance, a mysterious color flashed in his eyes.

 “It is indeed a disaster!” He murmured to himself.

Hearing this, Son of God Suan Ni said, "Uncle Chang Qing, what should we do now? Should we take action now?"

Chang Qing shook his head slightly: "No way! Since the natural disaster is coming, no one can interfere with it! To deal with this child, you are also intervening in the natural disaster, which will bring about the divine punishment!"

The words just fell.

next moment.

Chang Qing Zhenxian suddenly said: "Jialou Supreme!"

Hearing True Immortal Chang Qing call out his name for the first time, Nanling Demon King immediately responded solemnly.

"exist!"

Chang Qing Zhenxian said: "You will take action later and deal with Dugu Bo!"

“Yes!” Nanling Demon King responded immediately.

Then, True Immortal Chang Qing spoke again: "Remember, if no other entity takes action, remember not to take action too early!"

 “Try to wait until this son’s saint calamity is about to end, and then use all your strength to deal with Dugu Bo.”

 “Yes!” Nanling Demon King responded again.

“Is Yu Jing here?” True Immortal Chang Qing continued.

 “My subordinate is here!” Yu Jing immediately lowered his head and obeyed the order.

"The moment the saint's calamity dissipates, immediately lead Yu Yu and others, use all the heavenly nets and treasures to capture Jiang Yuan, and I will take you away!"

 “I accept the decree!” Yu Jing immediately lowered his head.

 “I accept the decree!”

 “I accept the decree!”

ˆ “.”

 The other three immortals also bowed their heads.

 In front of the true immortals, they have no qualifications to raise any objections.

 At this moment, countless spiritual thoughts converged in the air.

 Although Jiang Yuan had already informed him about the appearance of Saint Jie, no one really believed it.

After all, the Heavenly Tribulation has not occurred for millions of years, so how could Jiang Yuan easily cause the Saint's Tribulation.

 But at this moment, I noticed the vast power of heaven.

 Seeing the calamity clouds rolling towards Jiang Yuan, no one had any doubts in their minds.

At this time, due to the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation, there was already a storm surging in the dark.

 “The calm before the storm!” Dugu Bo murmured.

He glanced into the distance, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of confidence.

 In front of Jiang Yuan, he did not dare to make a promise easily.

 But in his heart, he was full of confidence.

These days, his strength is increasing day by day, and his strength that is growing every moment gives him full confidence.

Especially after opening the secret realm of Lingtai, he could feel that his thinking speed had increased countless times.

 The speed of thinking has skyrocketed, which also means that his understanding has also skyrocketed.

 These days, although they last only a few months, are short-lived.

  However, with the accumulation of experience in the past years, in just a few months, Dugu Bo also found that he had gained a lot in both time and space.

With space, we are only one step away from stepping onto the sixth floor, and this membrane may be broken at any time.

 This is why he was able to notice something strange just now.

As for time, the progress is also extraordinary, and the speed of the surrounding time is up to his will.

At the same time, the physical body and soul were converging to the same level, and he could vaguely feel that the two were gradually merging, as if the soul and the physical body were to be integrated into one body, regardless of each other.

In this state, Dugu Bo also felt that he no longer had any shortcomings or shortcomings.

 The huge increase in strength made him eager to try out the war that would come later.

 The growth of strength also requires a war to test his results.

 The upcoming battle is the best opportunity to test the results.

the other side.

Jiang Yuan looked at the tribulation clouds gathering rapidly above his head, and quietly waited for the thunder tribulation to brew.

 It will take a certain amount of time for the saint's calamity above the head to be completely formed.

Jiang Yuan looked at the top of his head, and he was not in a hurry.

 Under the shroud of thunder and calamity, he was absolutely safe at this time.

 The only target he needs to deal with now is the Saint's Thunder Tribulation above his head.

　　Time passes by breath by breath.

Rolling clouds of calamity emerged from the vast universe, and then converged toward the top of his head.

Each tribulation cloud comes in, making the tribulation above Jiang Yuan's head more terrifying.

 The power contained is also more terrifying.

As a result, the calamity clouds became thicker and kept falling downwards, as if the heaven and earth could no longer bear it at any time and would fall from the top of their heads.

 “This saint’s calamity is a bit exaggerated!” Chang Qing Zhenxian, who was dressed in white and handsome, could not help but have a flash of panic in his eyes.

"Uncle Chang Qing, this is indeed a bit exaggerated!" The Son of God Suan Ni also clucked his tongue, and then he continued: "I read the records in the ancient books, and the ordinary supreme calamity only affects a light-year radius!"

“The power of the saint’s calamity that Jiang Yuan is about to overcome actually faintly surpasses the ordinary supreme calamity!”

The handsome Chang Qing Immortal who was dressed in white could not help but nod.

 “This guy is really awesome!”

 “No wonder you are so afraid of him!”

While speaking, True Immortal Chang Qing glanced at the Nanling Demon King lightly.

The Demon King of Nanling also nodded slightly: "Yes! This boy's talent is comparable to that of a person in mythology. We must not keep him!"

True Immortal Chang Qing also nodded in agreement: "You can't stay!"

 Just in the middle of a conversation between a few people.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

The void seemed to shatter, and then a bolt of lightning tore through the universe and fell straight towards Jiang Yuan.

 The universe was illuminated with a pale white light, and the outlines of countless ancient stars were reflected at this moment.

 “The catastrophe has begun!” A saint murmured.

 “We are going to bear witness to the myth!” Another saint spoke.

 At this moment, a shocked voice suddenly sounded.

 “Look at Jiang Yuan!”

 “What is he doing??”

As soon as this voice sounded, the eyes of countless beings froze, and their gazes were like sharp swords piercing through the void.

 They wanted to penetrate the dazzling lightning and see Jiang Yuan's figure clearly.

 Therefore, Jiang Yuan did not stand under the calamity at this time, quietly waiting for the calamity to come.

His figure instead faced the calamity that had just struck down, and rushed into the dazzling lightning in an instant.

 This catastrophe also instantly submerged Jiang Yuan's figure, making it difficult for them to capture Jiang Yuan's traces.

the other side.

The handsome Chang Qing True Immortal also suddenly glanced at him, and his expression became full of solemnity.

 “What a courage!” he praised in his mouth.

At this time, the eyes of the Son of Suan Ni were slightly focused, and he was staring closely at the lightning that engulfed Jiang Yuan.

 But even though he tried extremely hard, he was completely unable to see through the dazzling lightning and find Jiang Yuan's traces.

 Then, the Son of God Suan Ni said: "Uncle Chang Qing, why do you say that?"

True Immortal Chang Qing said: "Faced with such a powerful saint's calamity, this boy did not choose to play it safe. Instead, he challenged an even more powerful saint's calamity."

“His actions like charging straight into the calamity clouds are tantamount to provoking the vast power of heaven! Such actions will cause the power of the calamity to reach a higher level!”

“Hiss—” The Son of God Suan Ni suddenly took a breath of cold air upon hearing this.

Then he continued: "To take the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to a higher level, isn't Jiang Yuan going to face a Thunder Tribulation that surpasses the ordinary Supreme Being?"

Chang Qing Zhenxian nodded slightly: "That's it!"

“In that case, can Jiang Yuan survive this catastrophe?” God Son Suan Ni said in disbelief.

The handsome Chang Qing True Immortal shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say! But the fact that this boy dares to make this choice shows that he must be certain!"

 “There is also a possibility!” Suan Ni Shen Zi spoke confidently.

 “What’s possible?” True Immortal Chang Qing couldn’t help but asked towards the Son of God Suanni.

 Of all the beings present, only the Son of God Suanni could make him pay attention to him.

This is because the mother of the Son of God Suanyi is the owner of the ancient sacred mountain where he lives, and is one of the only three immortals in the world today.

As the only blood descendant of the Lord of the Holy Mountain, the Son of Suanyi has a naturally transcendent status.

 When necessary, the Son of God Suanni can even instruct himself to do things for him.

 This means that the son is more valuable than the mother.

 Therefore, in his eyes, only the Son of God Suanni was considered to be an equal being in his eyes.

At this time, the Son of Suan Ni heard the doubts of True Immortal Chang Qing, and immediately said confidently: "Jiang Yuan may be trying his best!"

 “As the saying goes, you can’t live without going crazy!”

“He may know that he is in crisis, so he falls into madness, and more powerful potential often emerges in life and death!”

“And he also knows that he is blessed with great luck and will not fall so easily, so he forces himself!”

“Otherwise, with his level of strength, even if he attains enlightenment and becomes a saint, it will be of no use to us!”

Chang Qing nodded slightly: "It is possible! After all, this person's growth history is too bizarre and he has never been in trouble. It is normal for him to have some special means!"

at this time.

Chang Qing’s eyes narrowed again.

 “He’s in!”

at the same time.

Jiang Yuan faced the first falling tribulation and rushed straight into the tribulation cloud.

 In an instant.

Rumble —

The sky and the earth roared, and billions of thunders exploded.

The dark calamity clouds once again rolled in from the depths of the distant starry sky.

The addition of these tribulation clouds has once again upgraded the power of the saint tribulation that enveloped Jiang Yuan, and the coverage area has also become larger.

 In the billowing clouds of calamity, thunder continued to form, converging towards where Jiang Yuan was.

At the same time, streaks of crimson thunder continued to tear apart the calamity clouds, and thunder rolled and roared in the starry sky.

 At this time, the saint Jie fell into a rage in front of Jiang Yuan's provocative actions.

Countless thunders exploded directly in the calamity cloud, and the entire calamity cloud turned into a thunder purgatory, completely submerging Jiang Yuan in it.

The calamity cloud also began to be filled with streaks of red thunder that shuttled through it.

 “Sure enough, it appeared!”

Jiang Yuan said secretly.

next moment.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and his face twitched.

 “It hurts so much!”

Jiang Yuan bared his teeth and said.

 Subsequently, Jiang Yuan's lips showed a look of joy.

 To bear the baptism of heavenly calamity again.

 His immortal body's long-stopped progress began to increase again.

As the numbness and stinging sensation spread throughout his body, the destruction and rebirth contained in the thunder also nourished and sharpened his body.

 Especially the power of disaster contained in it makes every cell particle of his become more powerful.

It is precisely for this reason that his long-stalled progress in completing the sixth level of Insomnia's true body has now begun to increase.

 The sixth level of the true body that will last forever (23.81%). The sixth level of the true body that will last forever (23.86%). The sixth level of the true body that will last forever (23.90%).

Each heavenly calamity blasted into his body made the progress of this skill increase a little.

 Jiang Yuan watched the progress on his dashboard increase, and couldn't help but feel pain and happiness in his heart.

The current way of practicing this immortal true body is very simple.

 Being baptized by a stronger heavenly tribulation, his body will become stronger as a result.

 So as long as it is hit hard enough, it will be fine!

At this moment, every red thunderbolt blasted into his body, making Jiang Yuan grin and the corners of his mouth twitching in pain.

 But the increase in physical strength made him extremely happy.

　　It has been a long time.

Jiang Yuan felt that the pain gradually decreased, and the progress of the immortal body also began to slow down.

 【Gong method】: The sixth level of the true body that will never sleep for eternity (77.83%).

“It’s not enough, there is still a big gap between the seventh level!” Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

next moment.

 His body moved and he continued to go deep into the heavenly tribulation. Following closely behind, the calamity became more and more violent.

 A moment later.

Roar-

 A dragon's roar rang in Jiang Yuan's ears.

 He took a closer look.

 In the sea of ​​thunder, a red dragon-shaped creature emerged.

Jiang Yuan’s eyes suddenly condensed.

“I have only heard before that the heavenly calamity faced by the Supreme Tribulation is not an ordinary thunder, but some special existences manifested by thunder. These special existences have left their own mark on the world.”

“The existence of these marks allows Thunder Tribulation to manifest such existences!”

“I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a situation only in Saint’s Tribulation!”

 Jiang Yuan murmured in his mouth.

 Then he looked happy, and a blazing fighting spirit suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"bring it on!"

As soon as these words came out, the dragon-shaped creature transformed by the red thunder seemed to understand what Jiang Yuan meant.

"Roar-"

 In an instant, he let out a roar that shook the world, and then like a dragon swimming in the sea, he swung his dragon tail and headed straight for Jiang Yuan.

 “Well done!” Jiang Yuan shouted.

　　Without any killing techniques, he raised his fists and faced him.

Boom—

 A loud noise.

 The vast calamity clouds suddenly paused, and then the calamity clouds dispersed one after another.

"Cool!"

Jiang Yuan felt the red thunder pouring into his body along his fist, and he felt happy in his mouth.

With this punch, the dragon-shaped creature was instantly blasted away heavily by him.

 Its body shape has also shrunk a bit as a result.

 But he also did not have the upper hand. The contact of this punch caused a large amount of red thunder to pour into his body.

The whole body was numb and numb, and at the same time, there were bursts of tingling pain in the body.

However, as his physical body was refined and he saw the growth of his immortal body, Jiang Yuan felt extremely happy.

 This growth rate is much faster than at the beginning.

Judging from this speed, it won’t be long before we can break through the sixth level of the eternal body and enter the seventh level of the eternal body.

 After feeling the changes here.

 Jiang Yuan looked at the dragon-shaped creature in the distance, and suddenly there was a burning feeling in his eyes.

 This dragon-shaped creature manifested by red thunder is obviously an opportunity that belongs to him.

next moment.

Jiang Yuan waved his arms and headed straight for the dragon-shaped creature transformed by the red thunder.

at the same time.

 The outside world.

 Seeing the roars coming from the calamity clouds, the calamity clouds are constantly being dispersed.

The Son of God Suan Ni couldn't help but said: "Uncle Chang Qing, can you see clearly what happened in this saint's calamity?"

The handsome Chang Qing Immortal, who was dressed in white, immediately shook his head slightly.

“I haven’t practiced the art of divine pupil, so I can’t see through this mysterious and extraordinary saint’s calamity!”

the other side.

Ji Hao quietly revealed the vision of double pupils, and the scene deep in the calamity cloud was immediately reflected in his eyes.

He immediately saw Jiang Yuan riding on top of a red dragon-shaped creature, raising his fist and punching the head of the dragon-shaped creature one after another.

 Every punch landed was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

 The vast calamity clouds will be stopped by this, and many calamity clouds will be shaken away.

 “What a perverted boy!”

Ji Hao murmured in his heart, full of shock.

How could he not understand when he saw this scene?

That dragon-shaped creature is obviously a creature transformed by the true dragon's brand and the natural disaster.

 This is the most terrifying catastrophe among the supreme tribulations.

 Because these beings manifested by the brand can reveal part of the power of those creatures.

 Once you encounter such existence.

That was not about going through a catastrophe, but countless years apart, fighting against such special beings that could leave a mark.

 This is extremely thrilling and a real killing situation.

Jiang Yuandu's ability to attract such a being during the Saint Tribulation surprised him.

 And the way Jiang Yuandu passed there surprised him even more.

 There is no stimulation of mana, and no use of any magical powers or secrets.

Jiang Yuan used only two pairs of fists and his body to suppress the creature with the true dragon mark.

 In front of Jiang Yuan's fists that landed one after another, the size of this dragon-shaped creature also gradually shrank.

With each punch, you can clearly see that the size of the dragon-shaped creature shrinks by an outline.

  In the calamity cloud.

As Jiang Yuan landed a heavy punch.

　　Boom—

There was a huge roar, and the dragon-shaped creature that was ridden by Jiang Yuan was immediately exploded by the punch, turning into countless rays of thunder and scattering.

Jiang Yuan was in the closest position at this time, and was suddenly bathed in countless red thunders.

  Crackling—

 Thunders flashed past Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan also noticed that the numbness was everywhere in his body, permeating every cell particle.

 【Gong method】: The sixth level of the immortal true body (99.99%).

 Looking at his own panel, Jiang Yuan quietly felt the subtle changes in his body.

 After a few breaths.

Jiang Yuan instantly felt a sense of rebirth coming from deep within his body and spreading throughout his body in an instant.

At this moment, he felt that every cell particle in every corner of his body had undergone some kind of transformation.

 The body also suddenly became lighter.

 It seemed that he had been burdened with countless shackles. At this moment, all the shackles were released and there was no longer any shackles.

 Jiang Yuan clenched his fist.

 There is no feeling that can destroy everything.

 But Jiang Yuan had a feeling.

Nothing in the world is as strong as my fists.

 These fists can easily blast away all magic weapons and treasures.

 He looked at his panel again.

 【Gong method】: The seventh level of the true body that will never be destroyed (0.03%).

“Sure enough, I have entered the seventh level!” Jiang Yuan murmured.

At this moment, he felt that whether it was ordinary thunder or red thunder, he felt nothing when it fell on him.

 Just like scratching an itch.

Jiang Yuan stood in the Thunder Purgatory, allowing his body to be baptized by billions of thunders.

 He was too lazy to move at this time.

The catastrophe has passed halfway, and now such a powerful catastrophe can no longer stimulate his physical body much.

 The help for his immortal body has also become limited.

 The outside world.

Chanqing Zhenxian looked at Saint Jie in the distance, whose momentum was gradually declining.

 “This boy is indeed extraordinary!” He sighed softly.

 Behind him, the four immortals couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

 Although they can't see what's going on inside.

However, it was obvious that the sage calamity that enveloped Jiang Yuan was unsustainable and had already reached the stage of transition from prosperity to decline.

If the calamity is overcome normally, the power will only become stronger as the calamity progresses later.

 But the Jiang Yuan just now was different.

 He rushed straight into the calamity clouds. This move was a provocation to the power of God.

The calamity has also been upgraded in power and has become extremely terrifying.

 But correspondingly, the more violent the outbreak, the more unsustainable it will be.

At this time when the power of the tribulation that enveloped the saint Jiang Yuan was at its peak, there was nothing that could be done to Jiang Yuan, allowing him to persevere.

 The power behind him declined, and naturally he was helpless.

 So by this moment, they all saw that this saint's calamity had reached an unsustainable level, and there was nothing they could do about it. Jiang Yuan was helpless.

 In other words, it is almost certain that Jiang Yuan has survived the sage calamity.

 When the waiting time is over, the saint calamity that enveloped Jiang Yuan will dissipate, and he will also step from the cave heaven realm to the saint realm and condense the saint's path fruit.

 Another moment passed.

Chanqing True Immortal noticed that the power of the Saint's Tribulation that enveloped Jiang Yuan was further declining, and the area covered by the Tribulation Cloud also decreased as a result.

 “Let’s do it!” he said immediately.

Hearing this, the Nanling Demon King immediately understood the intention of True Immortal Chang Qing.

 He nodded immediately.

next moment.

 The Nanling Demon King's wings trembled.

　　唳—

 A sharp explosion sounded.

"Dugu Bo, fight with me!" Nanling Demon King shouted loudly, his voice resounding throughout the starry sky.

With his loud shout, the stars shook, and some even collapsed and disintegrated, and billowing flames erupted from the cracked crust.

"The Demon King of Nanling is indeed here! He has indeed taken action!" An old saint king looked at this scene and said worriedly.

At this time, countless eyes suddenly moved away from the saint's calamity cloud that enveloped Jiang Yuan, and fell on the Nanling Demon King.

 At this moment, the speed of the Nanling Demon King was extremely fast.

Like a golden light breaking through the endless void and splitting the dark night, its target is directed at Dugu Bo.

at the same time.

 The supreme coercion is also clearly revealed.

 In the face of this pressure.

The ancient stars approaching the Nanling Demon King exploded like bubbles.

Feeling this momentum, the entire universe became silent, and no one made a sound.

　It wasn’t until Dugu Bo shouted loudly that the silence was broken.

“Just in time! Just in time for me to see how much progress you, a flat-haired beast, have made! How dare you come to trouble me!”

 Hearing what Dugu Bo said was a flat-haired beast, Nanling Demon Emperor was immediately furious.

the other side.

“Brother, do you want to take action now?” Ji Yu asked.

Ji Hao shook his head slightly: "Don't worry! It's just the Nanling Demon Emperor taking action now. This scene should have been expected by Dugu Bo!"

“If he wants my help to deal with the Nanling Demon King’s attack, then he won’t be called Dugu Bo!”

 A moment later.

The golden light opened up the pitch-black universe and arrived in front of Dugu Bo.

The Demon King of Nanling's roc claws looked toward Dugu Bo, and the claws carried tremendous power.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo sneered.

Faced with the attack from Nanling Demon King, he did not dodge.

 Raising his hand and punching him, he had to directly face the attack from the Nanling Demon King.

next moment.

　　Boom—

The sky and the earth roared, and the aftermath spread.

 At this moment, the ancient stars turned into powder and exploded.

The two are both the top experts of the human and demon tribes. Once they take action, there is no sloppiness at all.

Every move bursts out with vast power.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

Under the continuous collision between the two of them, bursts of wailing came from the void.

The avenue is constantly shaking, and the universe seems to be exploded by them.

 Where the two of them passed.

 Big stars exploded one after another, turning into powder and dissipating in the starry sky of the universe.

When the other saints saw this, they even retreated far away.

Hushly entering a battle of this level, the spread of the aftermath alone is a big threat to them.

“You are indeed powerful. You are worthy of being one of the two emperors of the human race, Dugu Bo!” A black turtle with a vast aura and a body comparable to a giant turtle spoke.

"It's really powerful! I'm not as good as him!" The Great Sage Huntian of the Bear Clan, who was as big as a mountain, also said.

 “Do you want to take action?” A giant python entrenched in a high mountain also asked.

"No rush!" One of the heads of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng said calmly, and then he continued: "If you need help, Jialou will naturally ask! Now let him explore Dugu Bo's background first!"

 “Alright!” A soul-stirring voice sounded.

These beings who talk secretly and whose aura is like the vast ocean are all the top saints among the monster clan. Any one of them is an invincible being.

Given the current situation of Dugu Bo and Nanling Demon King fighting, only they are qualified to intervene.

the other side.

Ji Hao looked at Dugu Bo and the Nanling Demon King who were engaged in a fierce fight in the distance, and he couldn't help but nod in approval.

 “Dugu Bo is indeed worthy of being Dugu Bo!”

"Although the two seem to be equally matched, it is obvious that this level of attack is insignificant to him, and there is no possibility of injury!"

“But the Nanling Demon King is obviously injured, and all the blood spilled in the deep sky comes from him!”

The burly General Xiong on the side also said cheerfully: "Looking at it this way, we really don't need my emperor's help!"

Ji Hao nodded approvingly: "Only for the Nanling Demon Emperor, I really don't need to take action! Although his progress is not bad! But Dugu Bo has obviously made great progress, especially the growth of his physical body, which is a bit beyond me. Unexpected!"
