BXBX NOVEL Chapter 686 Casting The Golden Body!
Mcmau.
South side.
Below Fang Ping\'s crystal Pagoda, there was a lot of fun going on.
"President, don\'t just stand there. Come and eat something."
"President, your legs are shaking. Come and have a drink."
"President, President ..."
"Don\'t bother me!"
Fang Yuan\'s face was red with anger. With the energy stone on her head, her legs trembled as she said frantically,"Can you all go away?"
At the side, song ya had an innocent look on her face and said softly,""Roly Poly, let\'s just forget about it. "We have to come. Principal Fang said that if you really stand there for ten days, you\'ll fire us ..."
"Can he be fired just because he says so?"
Fang Yuan said angrily,"you guys just believe it?" You betrayed me?"
Song ya was powerless. She said softly,"principal Fang has the right to expel people. My dad has already said that if he wants to expel people, no one can stop him."
"You guys ..."
Fang Yuan was half dead from anger. She let out a sharp roar. This was too much!
Fang ping had gone too far!
The girls around him covered their ears. They were innocent.
Fang Yuan decided to ignore them. She closed her eyes and continued to rock against the energy stone.
……
Under the crystal Pagoda.
In the underground mine.
Fang ping inhaled lightly. Old man Li, Liu polu, and even Wu kuishan surrounded him.
Wu kuishan said in a deep voice,"are you confident?" If you\'re confident, then let\'s begin. We\'ll work together to seal off the aura and prevent the energy from leaking out to prevent the Golden projection from being exposed. "
Fang ping took in another breath and said, "I\'m still confident. If I can pull it at 3000hz, then it won\'t be a problem. If it doesn\'t work, I\'ll temper my brain core for a while more. There are still a few days anyway ... If it really doesn\'t work, I\'ll change the date. It\'s no big deal. "
The crowd broke into laughter. Old man Li glanced at him and said again,"If you really can\'t do it, just avoid it!"
"I know,"
As he spoke, Fang ping took a deep breath. In the mine vein, rich energy surged.
Wu kuishan and the others took action one after another and began to seal the Qi activity.
As Fang ping absorbed the energy, he stared at the stats on the interface:
[Wealth: 177 million points]
[Vitality: 42280Cal (42280Cal)
[Mentality: 2999Hz]
[Destructive force: ??]（？？）
[Bones honed: 177 bones (100%), 29 bones (90%)]
[Storage space: 1000 cubic meters (+)]
[Energy barrier: 1 point/minute (+)]
[Aura simulation: 10 points/minute (+)]
His golden body was close to completing the first refinement.
After completing the first refinement of the Golden body, one\'s vitality could reach 50000 Cal. However, that was the complete golden body.
Fang Ping\'s internal organs had not turned into gold yet, including the bone marrow of his skull. To be able to complete the transformation without guiding the last bone marrow, his vitality had already reached more than 42000Cal, which was already extraordinary.
"I hope I can complete the second refinement of the Golden body by using the force of the transformation!"
In the new martial era, a peak rank-8 could usually complete the fifth refinement of the Golden body, complete the first refinement when they had just entered rank-8, complete the second refinement when they were at the early-stage rank-8, and complete the third refinement when they were at the middle-stage rank-8 ...
After completing the second refinement of the Golden body, Fang ping was an early-stage rank-8 powerhouse in the true sense.
And not the so-called initial rank-8!
Liu polu was currently at the beginning stage of rank-8.
After staring at the data for a while, Fang Ping\'s vitality exploded instantly. His entire body flickered with golden light, and The Golden House appeared in the underground mine vein in an instant.
"Rise!"
Fang ping shouted in a low voice. In the next moment, The Golden House began to expand and become bigger.
The golden light on Fang Ping\'s body became even more intense. Large amounts of imperishable substances were circulating on his body.
In the blink of an eye, his Sanjiao gate and celestial bridge appeared as well. The brain core was quickly presented in front of everyone. Fang Ping\'s Sanjiao gate opened up instantly, and a large amount of energy surged toward the brain core.
Not only his vitality force, but his mentality as well as a large amount of golden imperishable substance also surged toward his brain nucleus.
"Crack ..."
A voice that sounded like it came from another world was heard. Everyone focused their attention on Fang Ping\'s brain.
Wu kuishan tried his best to seal his Qi activity while he shouted in a low voice, "Don\'t force it. If you can\'t do it, just grind for a while more!"
"Yes, I can!"
Fang Ping\'s answer was firm and powerful. It was only a checkpoint of 3000hz. Before this, without the brain-honing method, he felt that he could forcefully break through the boundary.
And now, he had a fundamental way to improve it.
As long as he could temper his brain core to be more solid and powerful, it would not be a problem for him to break through this barrier.
"Ka ka ..."
In the void, the faint cracking sound of the brain core kept coming, and everyone\'s hearts were on tenterhooks.
In the past, they didn\'t know where the brain core was, so they didn\'t care. They didn\'t feel anything when they broke through forcefully.
But now, after seeing the location of the brain and hearing the faint sound of the brain cracking, everyone became nervous.
What if it really exploded?
Once it shattered, would Fang ping still be able to live?
However, he was also a little puzzled. Was it always like this when he broke through the barriers in the past?
Or was Fang ping special this time?
"Ka ka ..."
Although his brain was cracking, a large amount of energy was pouring in and it was being repaired.
The crystal-clear brain core looked like a diamond-shaped cube at the moment. The cracks on the surface made the cube even more dazzling, and it exuded dense spiritual energy.
Fang Ping\'s eyes were fixed on the screen. He continued to pour in energy and imperishable substance.
After about 30 seconds, the cracking sound gradually weakened.
The Golden imperishable substance continued to repair the small cracks rapidly. The originally crystal clear brain core slowly expanded at this moment, becoming brighter and brighter, mixed with some golden color.
"Break!"
Fang ping forced out another word from his throat. With a low growl, The Golden House at the side expanded by a section with a bang.
At the same time, the brain core quickly turned into a faint golden color.
Fang ping did not even have the time to look at the data. At that moment, The Golden House suddenly disappeared, turning into pure mentality, but it was golden mentality.
This was the first time Fang ping had discovered the difference in mentality!
Materializing things could actually gather and disperse at will.
Previously, he could not materialize The Golden House.
If they scattered, they would really scatter, and there was no way to gather again.
However, Fang ping had done it.
The golden-yellow mentality flew toward Fang Ping\'s brain core one after another. In the next moment, all of it had fused into his brain.
The golden light in his brain was shining even more.
At this moment, the brain core that was still in the middle of the Sanjiao gate suddenly took the initiative to fly up and fly toward Fang Ping\'s head.
Everyone was watching intently!
It was not until today that everyone knew how to break through rank-8!
The mentality would be retracted back into the brain. The brain would then enter the brain and trigger the final change in the bone marrow.
"Fang ping, pay attention!"
Wu kuishan shouted in a low voice. Fang ping did not say anything, because at this time, the brain core had already flown over, as if it was an invisible substance, directly entering his brain.
The moment the brain nucleus entered his brain, Fang ping suddenly felt as if his brain had exploded!
A wave of rich and mighty mentality exploded in his mind. Golden light shot out from Fang Ping\'s head.
Wu kuishan and the others all shouted in unison!
At this moment, a shadow rose from the spiritual barrier that they had set up. It was a projection of power.
The shadow gradually solidified, but it did not soar into the sky.
At this time, everyone discovered something different.
The apparition became more and more real. Fang Ping\'s bones, blood vessels, brain, internal organs ... It was as if they were all being cut open for people to see.
Everyone could see that Fang Ping\'s entire body was almost covered in golden light.
Only in the depths of his brain, there was a little gray area.
His internal organs were also crystal clear.
And in the gray area of his brain, streams of golden liquid were flowing, rolling, and dragging the gray matter as if they wanted to drag the gray matter into it.
However ... The Golden liquid seemed to be unable to be dragged.
"This is bad!"
Wu kuishan frowned and said,"his mentality has just reached 3000hz. It\'s slightly weaker than the average peak rank-7. It seems like he can\'t move it!"
"Fang ping ..."
Wu kuishan was just about to speak when he noticed something unusual.
The Golden liquid was a projection of spirit energy, and there was only so much of it. But now, it kept expanding, getting thicker, and stronger.
Fang ping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, did not make a sound, but he stared fixedly.
This was the first time he could clearly see the recovery process of his spiritual power.
Where was the source of the system\'s power?
He didn\'t see it!
He could only see that his spiritual power was constantly recovering and was constantly at its peak. It was dragging the gray matter into it, and some of the gray matter gradually turned into gold.
"I\'m still lacking ..."
Fang ping mumbled to himself. 3000hz of mentality could actually guide the skull and bone marrow to turn into a golden body.
However, it seemed that the strength was not enough, and the speed was extremely slow.
Fang ping subconsciously looked at the data panel in the void in front of him.
[Bones honed: 177 bones (100%), 29 bones (91%+)]
"Too slow! "However ... The + sign has appeared again. This means that I have already met the conditions to hone the skull bone marrow."
Fang ping took a deep breath. Of the 206 bone bones, he had honed all of them a long time ago. He had also honed the marrow of 177 bone bones.
Only the bone marrow in his skull remained unchanged.
He knew that the moment his skull bone marrow changed was the moment he would truly forge his golden body. That was why he had not paid much attention to it before.
Now, the opportunity had come!
"Since my mental strength is slightly weaker, I\'ll rely on the system\'s power to hone my bone marrow!"
Fang Ping\'s heart skipped a beat. In the blink of an eye, his stats changed again:
[Bone-honing: 177 bones (100%), 1 bone (92%+), 28 bones (91%+)]
"It increased by 1% and cost 10000 wealth points. It\'s still acceptable!"
Previously, he had already honed it to 91%. He needed 90000 wealth points to hone a bone, so 2.63 million wealth points were enough.
"Fortunately, it\'s now. Even if I could, I didn\'t have the money to refine it. It\'s 26.3 billion ..."
Now, 20 billion was nothing to Fang ping. However, he was only rank-5 when he had finished honing his bone Gu. He was not as rich as he was now.
Fang ping did not think about this anymore. Instead, he looked at the shadow.
The projection of this power clearly recorded the changes in his body.
When Fang ping used the system\'s energy to temper it, he suddenly discovered the source of the energy!
In the sky, the Sanjiao gate suddenly disappeared.
The moment they disappeared, Fang ping could sense that his Sanjiao gate and celestial bridge seemed to have entered his brain as well.
Vaguely, Fang ping could feel something.
There was power seeping out of the Sanjiao gate!
The power that was pulling the gray color earlier had turned from one to two.
One was a golden liquid, which was the power of spiritual power.
It was an invisible force. It was the force of the Sanjiao gate. No, it should be the force of the system!
"The source of power for the bone-honing system is the Sanjiao gate?"
"Where does the Sanjiao gate lead to?"
At this moment, Fang Ping\'s imagination ran wild!
A long time ago, Fang ping had been thinking that the Sanjiao gate was made up of three gates, and the gates actually led to an endless dark Zone.
Where did the door lead to?
He had no idea how these three half-real and half-fake doors were created and how they appeared.
The source of his power seemed to come from the Sanjiao gate.
Had anyone ever entered the Sanjiao gate?
Fang ping did not know!
At this moment, Fang ping could only think about it. He did not have the mood to think too deeply about it. Even a Paragon might not know anything about this.
Fang ping stared at the projection. The speed at which the gray substance turned into gold substance was much faster.
At the side, Wu kuishan and the others looked at Fang ping with a strange expression.
Earlier, because Fang Ping\'s mentality was not strong enough, the conversion speed was extremely slow. Everyone had seen it.
But now, its speed was unbelievably fast.
Fang Ping\'s Sanjiao gate had disappeared into the void. Everyone had seen it.
Was that the power of a resurrected martial artist?
The power of the resurrected martial artist\'s previous life had been restored?
Among the crowd, li Hansong was the one who looked the most closely.
It seemed like he still had other things in the door of life that he had not taken out yet!
Did the source of resurrected martial artists \'power come from the Sanjiao gate?
Fang ping could recover the strength of his past life from his Sanjiao gate, but what about him?
Could he give it a try from this aspect?
Fang ping did not have time to care about what these people were thinking. The next moment, the gray substance suddenly turned golden.
Immediately after, an extremely powerful golden current gushed toward Fang Ping\'s internal organs.
Fang ping had no time to look at the projection. Crackling sounds came from his golden body.
At this moment, Fang ping could clearly feel his internal organs transforming.
"Phew ..."
Fang ping exhaled continuously. Every time he exhaled, it was a large amount of foul air. Old man Li shouted,"Quickly use the imperishable substance to temper your body! Temper your body with this power, quickly!"
Fang ping did not delay and immediately started converting the imperishable substance.
Large amounts of imperishable substance gushed into his internal organs, torso, and bone marrow as if they wanted to fill him up.
"Ka ka ka ..."
A series of crisp sounds rang out. Fang Ping\'s body suddenly grew stronger and swelled up.
The hair on his head and all the fine hairs on his body began to fall off.
As soon as it fell off, Fang ping immediately consumed his energy to maintain the growth.
His hair grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it turned golden.
Seeing Fang ping staring at his lower body, old man Li could not help but curse,"Quickly temper your body! What are you looking at? if it\'s golden, then it\'s golden. Normally, when its power is gone, it\'ll naturally return to its normal color!"
Li Hansong could not hold it in any longer!
"Fang ping, spend some imperishable substance there to temper it too!" He said with a silly smile after holding it in for a while.
"Get lost!"
Fang ping almost lost his breath. \'Damn it, you still have the time to talk nonsense when I\'m breaking through.\'
"It\'s true. Otherwise, it\'ll be too weak. It\'s also considered a weakness ... Although it can still be regenerated after being shattered ..."
"Teacher, kill him!"
Fang ping was furious. Iron head was now full of himself. Taking advantage of his father\'s breakthrough, he actually started to tease him.
Li Hansong laughed for a while, but in the next moment, his face stiffened.
He was not the only one. The others were also speechless.
Fang ping did not think much of it, but when he felt that the atmosphere was different, he could not help but look up ...
At that moment, Fang Ping\'s expression changed drastically!
Terrible!
He had forgotten that the Golden projection was still there!
"Hahaha!"
Everyone suddenly burst into laughter!
In the void, the Golden projection\'s lower body glowed with a brilliant golden light, and a lot of it was concentrated in one place.
Li Hansong thumped his chest hard to stop himself from laughing.
Fang ping might be saying no, but he was actually tempering it in secret. Did this Guy Forget that the projection was still there?
No matter how sneaky you are, everyone will see it!
"What a luxury!"
Old man Li suddenly sighed with emotion. How extravagant.
Who would use so much imperishable substance to temper that thing when they broke through to rank-8?
The key was that there was no imperishable substance!
When one entered rank-8, it was true that a little imperishable substance would be born, but the amount was extremely small!
This amount of imperishable substance was enough for a martial artist to complete the Golden body forging.
Fang ping, on the other hand, still had a large amount of imperishable substance to temper these.
Old man Li maintained his Qi flow and said, "I\'ll continue to spend some imperishable substance and see how strong the divine weapons are ..."
This time, Fang Ping\'s face was really black.
What did that mean?
"At a critical moment, it might be used as a divine weapon. Others might not think of it ..."
"Old Li!"
Fang Ping\'s tone was unfriendly. \'You\'re the one who\'s using it as a divine weapon. I\'m not going to play this hooligan!\'
With a Humph, Fang ping ignored him and continued to convert large amounts of imperishable substance, tempering his body over and over again. Fang ping began to hone every part of his body.
"Boom boom boom ..."
Fang ping sat on the ground, but he realized that the ground was starting to fall. Old man Li shouted,"Control your strength. He\'s almost 10000 Jin. Don\'t crush him!"
Fang ping had also felt this at this time. His physical body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
The transformation of his internal organs into gold was about to be completed. He, who was only 3000 pounds before, seemed to have become much heavier all of a sudden.
"Boom boom boom!"
This time, the rumbling sound was heard again.
It was not the sound from the ground, but from his internal organs.
Fang Ping\'s teeth turned golden instantly. It was an extremely dazzling golden color, and his mouth was filled with big golden teeth.
His eyes, including his pupils, turned golden in an instant.
Fingernails, blood vessels ...
Every part of his body had turned golden.
Hong long long ...
In his body, a surge of power spread out and bombarded Fang Ping\'s physical body.
Every time he struck, Fang Ping\'s body trembled, and a stream of foul air was discharged from Fang Ping\'s body.
"Golden body marrow cleansing! The impurities in your body will be discharged. Every time you forge a golden body, the Golden body will become denser and stronger. Every time, the fine impurities in your body will be discharged!
At rank-8, one\'s body would be like glass, pure and without any impurities. From now on, one could say goodbye to food in the truest sense of the word, and have no more needs.
He\'s otherworldly, he\'s a God!"
Fang ping had no time to listen to this. At this moment, every power attack was from the inside out, expelling the impurities in his body.
And every time it was discharged, Fang ping noticed that the Golden body seemed to have some cracks.
At this time, the others would not care. It was the same for those who had forged a golden body less.
However, Fang ping did not idle around. He began to fill up, compress, temper, and block these gaps with large amounts of imperishable substance.
The moment the imperishable substance entered his body, it was instantly absorbed and digested.
At that moment, Fang ping noticed something different. His own body seemed to have produced his own imperishable substance!
The imperishable substance in his body was produced by the Golden body in small amounts.
It was so little that Fang ping felt he could ignore it!
This was the imperishable substance that was born when he himself reached rank-8 golden body.
Fang ping no longer cared about the imperishable substance he was producing. He was still consuming the imperishable substance at all costs to temper his golden body.
The newly forged golden body seemed to be extremely empty, lacking imperishable substance. No matter how much Fang ping converted, it was absorbed rapidly.
10 elemental force, 100 elemental force, 1000 elemental force ...
Even Fang ping was shocked!
There was so much, but he was still absorbing.
1000 Yuan of destructive force was more than a rank-9!
It wasn\'t just more, it was much more.
However, it was still absorbed by the Golden body.
"Rank-8 powerhouses continuously cultivate imperishable substances and continuously temper their golden bodies. They need a very long time to let their golden bodies reach saturation and complete a transformation.
However, Fang ping did not lack imperishable substance. When he broke through, he began to absorb large amounts of imperishable substance. As he discharged the impurities, he also absorbed the imperishable substance to fill up the empty space after these impurities were discharged.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, Fang Ping\'s golden body let out a roar, and the Golden radiance was blinding.
Old man Li and the others growled again, erupting their powerful vitality and mentality to conceal the golden light.
"I\'ve completed the second forging! That\'s fast!"
Everyone had a look of shock on their faces. This speed was too fast!
At this moment, Fang ping could be considered to have truly achieved early-stage rank-8.
Liu polu\'s face turned bitter!
He was surpassed just like that?
It had only been a few days!
He had only just completed the first refinement. The moment his golden body was forged, it was also the embodiment of the completion of the first refinement. At this moment, he was starting on the second refinement of the Golden body. It was not completed yet and was only the beginning.
Fang ping, on the other hand, had already completed his second golden body forging in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, seeing that Fang ping was still forging his physical body, old man Li suddenly shouted,"Enough! If your spiritual power is not strong enough and your golden body is too strong, you will easily lose control!"
Fang ping suddenly came to a realization!
That\'s right, he couldn\'t lose control now. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble if he didn\'t recover on the 10th.
The next moment, the Golden Shadow dissipated. Fang ping stood up abruptly, stomping a huge hole in the ground with one foot, revealing the energy stones below.
Fang ping could not care about anything else. He quickly checked the changes in his data, and his expression changed again and again!
Rank-8, the change was really too great!
[Wealth: 164 million points]
[Vitality: 40000Cal (62100Cal)
[Mentality: 2000hz (3199Hz)]
[Power of destruction: 1 yuan (22 Yuan)]
[Bones honed: 206 pieces (100%)]
[Storage space: 1000 cubic meters (+)]
[Energy barrier: 1 point/minute (+)]
[Aura simulation: 10 points/minute (+)]
His vitality had increased by 20000 Cal almost instantly!
After completing the first refinement of the Golden body, one\'s vitality would exceed 50000 Cal. After completing the second refinement, one\'s vitality would exceed 60000 Cal.
Not only had Fang ping completed the second refinement, he had even surpassed it by a little. He had even taken a small step toward the third refinement!
The bones and bones were completely honed!
The destructive force was finally revealed.
The upper limit was only 22 Yuan, and Fang ping himself had only produced 1 yuan of destructive force.
Seeing this, Fang ping was speechless.
However, 22 elemental force was actually a lot.
One Yuan power was equivalent to 10c celestiality, which was equivalent to 500Cal vitality force.
In other words, 22-Yuan destructive force was actually comparable to 110000 Cal vitality force!
This was the power of the destructive force!
When the strong fought with the power of destruction, they were even more powerful!
Of course, powerhouses could transform into celestiality to fight, and the destructive power was also very strong.
However, in terms of quality and destructive power, celestiality was inferior to destructive power. It did not have any feedback effect on powerhouses. On the contrary, it was harmful to the body and the mentality of powerhouses.
"I feel like I\'m much stronger! "The increase in vitality isn\'t considered much. It\'s only 1.5 times of the previous increase ..."
"But! I feel that my strength has increased by at least five times!"
Fang ping threw a punch. He did not hit anyone else but li Hansong.
BOOM!
Li Hansong slowly slid down from the mentality barrier that Wu kuishan and the others had set up like a hanging painting, his face full of innocence and grievance.
You hit me again!
I\'ve only been beaten up for a while, and now it\'s happening again!
"Hahaha, you\'re indeed much stronger. My hands hurt when I hit the iron head before, but it\'s so smooth now!"
Fang ping laughed out loud!
After completing the second refinement of the Golden body and activating the third refinement of the Golden body, he felt that he was much, much stronger than before.
At this moment, Fang Ping\'s entire body was golden in color. He mumbled,"I think I can be sold as gold, the purest kind. Ten thousand Jin of gold ... Five tons, it can be sold for a high price!"
Everyone rolled their eyes!
When would this guy learn to be a little more tactful!
You can only say this to yourself. If you say this to other golden body powerhouses, they\'ll beat you to death!
However, the crowd was still amazed by Fang Ping\'s Swift advancement to rank-8 and his second-refined golden body.
"A 20-year-old rank-7, a 20-year-old rank-8 ...
In September 2008, Fang ping entered the school as an aspiring martial artist!
In October 2010, Fang ping was rank-8. Only a little more than two years had passed.
Fang ping, on the other hand, was feeling rather emotional. He still remembered that when he was rank-4, he had thought of one thing. \'I\'ll be rank-4 in one year, rank-8 in two years, rank-12 in three years ...\'
It was originally a joke to amuse himself.
But who knew ... That it would really come true!
Although it had been two years, a month was nothing to a martial artist.
It had only been a little more than two years, and he had actually achieved rank-8. It was an unbelievable thing, and he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
"Rank-8!"
"I\'ve achieved the Golden body!"
Fang ping was filled with emotions and was a little dazed for a moment.
However, he felt that ... Something was missing!
Oh right, where\'s Qin Fengqing?
He had forgotten that that fellow was currently refining the energy and waiting for the fire to burn. It seemed that he had not come.
Fang ping suddenly looked at the only martial artist of the same generation in the crowd, teasing li Hansong!
Li Hansong, who had just slid down from the stronghold, saw Fang ping staring at him with a blank expression. When he saw Fang Ping\'s dark expression, li Hansong thought for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression became extremely strange.
I ... Should I say it?
But ... It was so embarrassing!
I\'m not as shameless as Qin Fengqing, and I\'m not as shameless as pudgy Jiang.
How could I say such words?
However, Fang Ping\'s gaze was too sharp. He was rubbing his fists as if he would beat him to death the next moment if he did not say anything.
Li Hansong wanted to cry but had no tears. After a long while, he said in a low voice,"Fang Ping\'s mighty, forging a rank-8 golden body ... I ... I congratulate Fang ping ..."
His voice was as low as a mosquito.
Fang ping instantly lost interest. He snorted, sweeping away his mood!
He didn\'t have any momentum at all!
Those who didn\'t know would think that I had died.
Old man Li and the others looked at each other and couldn\'t help but laugh. This brat didn\'t show off his breakthrough this time, so he was probably depressed to death.
In the end, li Hansong, who was supporting him on the spot, did not help. Fang ping was probably even more depressed now.
Li Hansong was also helpless. \'I told you I can\'t do it. It\'s too embarrassing.\'
However, after some thought, li Hansong still said sternly,"Congratulations on the celestial Thearch\'s recovery and progress! Reforge the glory of ancient martial arts!"
“……”
Fang ping stared at him for a long time. \'Do you really believe it, or did you hypnotize yourself into believing it?\'
He didn\'t stammer when he said this.
