The strange facts about Tian Qin and Hai Long have become somewhat familiar to Taoist Master Bai He. He smiled and said, "Hai Long, you don't have to be too impatient. Qin'er and I can't be safer here. When you come back, use Tian Qin to enter."
The door of Gu's spell will naturally open for you." He now wished that Hai Long would come back soon so that he could spend more time with his beloved disciple. ()
Hai Long said goodbye to everyone in Qianhui Valley, and Tian Qin reluctantly sent him out of Qianhui Valley. He watched Hai Long disappear into the distance before returning to the valley with Huo Qiu.
The generosity of Taoist White Crane made Hai Long put an end to his worries. He pushed his magic power to the limit and flew towards the northern border. The appearance of Qilin Young Master Huo Qiu had shaken his confidence in himself. Hai Long understood.
Although he is already an unparalleled master in the human world, he may be nothing in the fairy world. After dealing with the mutant matter, he should return to Lianyun Sect with Tian Qin and Huo Qiu for the final round.
Although he didn't know how deep Huo Qiu's cultivation was, with her help, Hai Long was more sure of surviving the ninth heavenly tribulation.
After flying for a while, a big city in front of him attracted Hai Long's attention. The last time he and Tian Qin went to Northern Xinjiang, this was not the same road he and Tian Qin took this time. This time they went to Qianhui Valley and happened to pass by here. This big city was the first time he and Tian Qin met.
When they met Tongyuan City, who was regarded as a lecher by Tian Qin, a strange feeling arose in his heart. Hai Long subconsciously flew down and landed a thousand meters away from the city gate.
The majestic big city appeared in front of him. Tongyuan City was about 30 meters high. Flags were waving on the top of the city. Teams of patrolling soldiers were cruising back and forth. At the wide city gate, 30 defenders stood upright on both sides, checking the passing merchants and civilians.
Everything seems to have remained the same as it was more than a thousand years ago. The last time he came here, Hai Long was just a cultivator in the early stage of Fuhu, but now he has become the most powerful master in the world of cultivation. It feels like a world away.
He couldn't help but walk towards Tongyuan City step by step. Since Tian Qin might not be able to meet Taoist Baihe in the future, he should let their master and apprentice get along with each other for a few more days and go to the city to have a look. Thinking of this, Hai Long no longer hesitated and went straight
Walk towards the city gate.
The air was warm, the breeze caressed my face with a hint of spring, and the sun shone brightly on the earth. The armor shining on the soldiers guarding the city looked majestic.
He strode to the city gate and was immediately greeted by two soldiers. After checking Hai Long for a while, they saw that there was nothing unusual about him before letting him enter the city.
The hustle and bustle of the city gave Hai Long an inexplicable sense of intimacy. The wide street was lined with various shops selling a wide variety of goods. At this time, Hai Long was very quiet and looked around with interest.
On the contrary, he was full of interest in these ordinary people's things. Now he still remembers that he sold a piece of imperial essence in a shop here for one hundred thousand silver taels.
While walking, Hai Long suddenly noticed that there were a lot of people carrying swords and other weapons in Tongyuan City, which seemed a bit strange. The atmosphere in Tongyuan City also became a little solemn with these people.
Hai Long walked into a tavern with doubts. He was only wearing an ordinary robe. The waiter in the tavern was not very enthusiastic. He led him to a corner and sat down. Hai Long's Qiankun Ring still had the original remaining
After placing some silver, he casually ordered some food and a pound of wine and sat there eating and drinking. These ordinary foods were like chewing wax in his mouth, but the wine still had some appeal. As he ate and drank, he couldn't help but recall the time before leaving Lianyun Sect.
The vegetarian meal made by Yuhua is the most delicious thing in the world! Thinking of Yuhua sisters, Hai Long couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. The two sisters' deep love for him was hard for him to refuse. Their feelings were so pure, so how could he bear to hurt them?
?
"Old Hei, the conference is about to start soon. Let's finish our meal soon so we can rush over to watch the excitement. I heard that many young masters have emerged in the martial arts in recent years. This time, the top 100 on the list may have to change again."
A strange voice attracted Hai Long's attention. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound and saw two sturdy middle-aged men talking. ()
"Yeah! But I don't care about the top 100. I just want to see if there will be any changes in the top 10. That's the most exciting thing."
Hai Long's mind flashed to the top ten list? Is it the top ten list made by Tang Feng? With this excitement, he could take a look at the powerful skills of those so-called martial arts masters. Maybe he could learn from them and apply them to himself.
Among the spells. Thinking of this, he stood up and walked to the two middle-aged men and said politely, "The two eldest brothers have invited me to ask where your rankings will be announced!" The two middle-aged men said
The man who looked at Hai Long's previous words with a strange look in his eyes politely patted the chair next to him and said, "Brother, don't be polite, sit down and talk. I think you must be a foreigner who has just arrived in Tongyuan City."
Hai Long nodded and said, "Yes! I happened to come to Tongyuan City during my trip to the border of the Lower Western Region. I hope my two eldest brothers can give me some advice."
The big man smiled heartily and said, "Zhi Mijin doesn't dare to think of us as brothers. He is also a member of the martial arts world. He is an escort from the Longwu Escort Bureau. He came here specially to watch the excitement. The martial arts conference that is held once every ten years is being held today. Now Tongyuan City has already
When the martial arts conference is officially held with a gathering of masters, the top ten masters will definitely come. Our most important thing is to see their style. The top ten masters are our idols!"
Hai Long pretended to be surprised and said, "I want to see such a lively place. I wonder if I can ask the two eldest brothers to take me with them later."
The escort on the left smiled and said, "Brother, there will probably be a lot of people later. It will be difficult to see if you can squeeze in with such a thin body! It's no problem to take you there, but it depends on whether you can see the real martial arts conference."
It's up to you. It's very difficult to squeeze in among thousands of martial arts masters."
Hai Long smiled and said, "I just went to see the excitement and feel the atmosphere of the martial arts conference. The two elder brothers took me there. Just go and be busy. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, we've also earned US dollars. Let's go now. Check out."
The man on the left called the second waiter and was about to pay, but was stopped by Hai Long. "Two eldest brothers, let me be the host for this meal." Then he handed the second waiter a ten tael of silver.
The two bodyguards usually didn't have much to do when they saw Hai Long paying for a treat. They immediately treated him like brothers and took him out of the tavern and walked towards Tongyuan City. Through the conversation with them, Hai Long learned that the martial arts conference was in the west of Tongyuan City.
A meeting was held in the square at the city gate. In order to avoid conflicts, the lord of Tongyuan City specially dispatched a large number of soldiers to maintain order. ()
From a distance, Hai Long could see the crowds of people in front of him. There were so many people. At least tens of thousands of martial arts people were gathered around the square. In addition, there were a large number of civilians and soldiers maintaining order. There was a sea of people in the middle of the square. There was a large open space in the center of the square. In the middle of the open space was a building.
There are some simple sheds built behind the high platform. According to the two bodyguards, the people who can enter the sheds are famous martial arts families and specially invited masters. This martial arts conference is held by Tangjiabao, which Hai Long is familiar with.
of.
As soon as they entered the square, the two bodyguards abandoned Hai Long and squeezed in desperately. Hai Long looked around and saw no trace of Tang Ao and his son. He slipped into the crowd like a wisp of smoke. His body was like a swimming fish.
In just a blink of an eye, the people who were able to squeeze in were already at the innermost part of the crowd. They were obviously very skilled. Their eyes were focused on the empty high platform, with expressions of excitement on their faces, as if they were expecting something.
Hai Long looked at the shed behind the high platform opposite and saw that 80% of the people were already sitting inside, all well-dressed and wearing various weapons. The crowd behind him burst into support. Hai Long frowned slightly and used his magic power to activate the surroundings. No one within a foot could come close to him.
Everyone looked at him with surprised eyes, but no one had anything to say. After all, this is a grand event in the martial arts world. As long as you have strength, you will be respected by others. At this moment, a familiar figure on the high platform attracted Hai Long's attention. It was someone he had not seen for more than a year.
Tang Ao.
Tang Ao said loudly, "Thank you very much, comrades, for coming to participate in the martial arts conference this time. I have just returned from the front line. I believe everyone already knows that now the Yuanmeng Kingdom is over. It can no longer pose any threat to us. Tang Ao asked himself how much time he still has this time."
Killing thousands of enemies can be regarded as doing your best for the country. For this martial arts conference, Tang Mou specially booked 20 of the largest restaurants in Tongyuan City to entertain everyone with flowing banquets. After the conference, all comrades can eat and drink to their heart's content. Okay.
I would like to ask Zen Master Tianling to give you a few words."
Hai Long watched boredly as more than ten people took turns to come on stage to speak under the auspices of Tang Ao. Their words sounded like nonsense to Hai Long's ears. In the bored feeling, Hai Long was just about to leave when Tang Ao on the stage said, "Everyone must be very happy."
I want to know who has made it to the top 100 in the once-in-a-decade ranking, and I will announce it later." As soon as these words came out, people in the arena burst into cheers and applause. All the people in the martial arts world seemed very excited.
Those who were responsible for maintaining order around the ring were masters from Tangjiabao and major aristocratic families. They used all their strength to suppress the crowd who wanted to rush to the high platform to follow suit and forced them back.
Tang Ao took out a scroll from his arms and slowly unfolded it and said, "The Ranking of the Ranking has been verified by many seniors. If there are any errors or omissions, please submit them as soon as possible for correction. The 100th one-handed sharpshooter on the Ranking, Li Shi, is the 90th
Nine..." Strange names were read out one after another from Tang Ao's mouth. Each name aroused cheers from the crowd in the audience. The numbers became more and more loud, and the cheers became louder and louder. Finally, when Tang Ao announced the eleventh
When he was named, he stopped and looked around the crowd in the audience and continued, "Tangjiabao Tang Feng is the tenth on the list of stars." As soon as he said this, there was an uproar. These people in the martial arts world obviously did not expect that the number ten on the list of top ten masters was.
The name actually changed to someone else and he was still Tang Ao's son.
Tang Ao said calmly, "Some people may doubt Quanzi's strength. Some friends may think that I am engaging in malpractice for personal gain. It doesn't matter. After I finish my announcement, Quanzi can accept the challenge of anyone among the top 100 on the Billboard. I will continue to announce the ninth place on the Billboard... Fengyun."
The first place on the list is still the Jasper Bow. I think everyone agrees on the strength of the Jasper Bow that no one in our martial arts can shake its status. Now if the top 100 masters on the list want to challenge the top ten, now
That’s it. The top nine except Quanzi can accept three challenges. Once the challenger wins, he can replace the challenger’s ranking. Challengers please register.”
The real popularity of the martial arts conference began. As soon as the top 100 masters on the list came up, seven or eight masters wanted to challenge Tang Feng. There were also many other ranked masters. But what surprised Hai Long was that only the number one Jasper Gong didn't have any.
People challenged him.
Tang Feng flew up from the shed behind the high platform. He seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing him for a year. He looked more pleasing to the eye than the ruffian-like appearance he had now. His demeanor was calm and he showed everyone's demeanor.
Tang Feng clasped his fists with both hands and said, "All the heroes here have invited me. Tang Feng is very honored to be recognized by all the seniors and enter the top ten of the list. In fact, I don't even believe it myself. Ten years ago, I was still an unknown child. But today I am
But I can stand here and accept the challenge of the heroes of the world. I have to thank my master for all this. Without his teachings, I would not be where I am today. It is his old man who taught me the principles of life. It is a pity that his old man has never seen the beginning of the dragon.
I haven’t seen you for more than a year, otherwise I would personally thank you.” ()
A figure jumped up to the ring, "Okay, are you tired? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let me see how much you master Tangbao Lord's Light Splitting Sword. Xu Hao will teach you about Coiling Dragon Sword." This man is indeed an impatient person who is only five feet tall.
As soon as Shou finished speaking, light like a jade belt shot out and attacked Tang Feng.
Hai Long saw clearly that Xu Hao was using a soft sword. The sword was four feet long and as flexible as a fiery snake spitting messages. The name Coiling Dragon Sword had just been heard by the customs, and it seemed to be ranked thirteenth among the top 100.
Judging from the first move he made, it was obviously much stronger than the previous Tang Feng. Seeing that Tang Feng's body had been completely enveloped by the sword wind, suddenly, without making a mistake, he moved towards Xu Hao without making a mistake. His body was as free and easy as straw.
Bump away.
Xu Hao was stunned for a moment. Although Tang Feng seemed to be full of flaws, every flaw seemed to hide a powerful killing move. Gritting his teeth, the soft sword transformed into a sky full of light and shadow, and suddenly shrouded Tang Feng.
A cold light flashed in Tang Feng's eyes, and his feet changed rapidly. His figure was like a boat in the ocean covered by Xu Hao's soft sword. Although it seemed that he might die at any time, he could always find a glimmer of hope and not capsize. Such a wonderful movement technique
The whole audience was in an uproar immediately. Tang Feng's body and Xu Hao missed each other and everything stopped.
Xu Hao's eyes were dim, and the hand holding the soft sword trembled slightly as he looked at the seven rips in the clothes on his chest. He knew that at the moment when he had lost his body, Tang Feng had at least seven chances to take his own life. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice with some difficulty, "
I lost." Wan Yi dodged and got off the ring.
Hai Long looked at Tang Feng on the ring in surprise. What Tang Feng used before was the Xiaoyaoyou he taught him that day. Although it was just a simple Bagua Sixty-four step change in Xiaoyaoyou's complex movement technique, for a martial artist like Tang Feng and Tang Ao,
The middleman came and gained a lot. It was precisely because of the magic of Xiaoyaoyou that Tang Feng could win so easily. What Hai Long didn't know was that after he taught the footwork that day, he left Tang Ao and took his men, son, and daughter to the front line.
Participated in the war. Under Hai Long's stimulation, Tang Feng changed his temper and worked hard, and achieved great military exploits in the battle with Yuan Mongolia for more than a year. During this period, he experienced several dying tests and made breakthroughs in martial arts. He was far from the best.
The Tang Feng of a year ago can be compared. At the same time, through constant practice, Tang Feng has fully understood the magic of the Bagua footwork in Xiaoyaoyou. It is thanks to Xiaoyaoyou that he has been able to escape death several times. So now he has
Hai Long's respect is completely from the bottom of his heart and he is willing to accept Hai Long as his teacher. Today's Fengyun Ranking Conference. Tang Feng's skills are not any deeper than others, but he possesses Xiaoyaoyou Shenfa and Tang Jiafen's Light Sword Technique, which is what made him famous.
Opportunity. After a moment of silence in the arena, huge cheers erupted. Everyone in the audience never saw the Tang Feng sword unsheathed. He had already easily defeated the 13th-ranked player on the charts. With his performance, he could definitely sit on the charts.
The position of the tenth place. The subsequent challenges seemed a bit dull. Tang Feng relied on Xiaoyaoyou to force the challengers back one by one without even unsheathing his sword. He proved his strength with his actions. After that, he ranked among the top ten in other rankings.
Challenges were carried out one after another. Compared with the top ten masters, those challengers were indeed far behind and none of them could succeed in the challenge.
The martial arts conference had already been held for two hours. Tang Ao came on stage again and smiled and said, "Okay, all the challengers have completed their challenges. I announce the ten-year martial arts conference..." When he arrived here, a figure appeared in front of him without any warning.
I will challenge you later."
Tang Ao was shocked. He didn't even see the movement of the person who suddenly came on stage. He only saw this person wearing an ordinary robe, his hair hanging down his back. His appearance was very strange. He seemed to have never seen him before, but the aura on his body seemed to be a bit strange.
As if familiar. Tang Ao frowned slightly and said, "This comrade wants to challenge the top ten in the rankings and must follow the rules. Are you a master among the top 100 in the rankings? Please register first." While looking at him, he secretly mentioned
Gather your strength and be ready for emergencies at any time.
The stranger said calmly, "No need. What rules do I hate the most? I want to challenge the Jasper Bow to let him out. Doesn't the number one master on the list have the courage to accept the challenge of a nobody like me?" His words immediately shocked everyone present.
The person took a breath. The Jasper Bow is a mythical existence in the martial arts. Although the Billboard has always ranked him as the number one person in the martial arts, the Jasper Bow rarely appears in the martial arts, and has never participated in a martial arts competition. There are many in the martial arts.
When a jasper bow is drawn out, everything retreats from it. But there are very few people who have actually seen a jasper bow.
The stranger's right hand trembled. No one could see clearly how he did it. A blue sword appeared in his hand. "You should know the owner of Tangbao's main sword. I want to challenge the Jasper Bow." ()
Tang Ao's whole body was shaken by this sword. Of course he knew it was that person's Qiulu Begonia sword! Yes, it was Hai Long who took the stage last. Looking at the competition in the martial arts competition, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy, thinking that no one had challenged him.
Out of curiosity, Biyu Gong changed her appearance and took the stage to challenge.
Tang Ao's voice was trembling, "Who are you to his old man?" The appearance of Qiu Lu and Begonia Sword shocked him too much.
Hai Long secretly laughed in his heart and said, "How about I be his friend? Please make it easier for Lord Tangbao." I don't know why Hai Longjue felt that the words "jasper bow" touched his heart.
Tang Ao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sorry that Jasper Gong has not appeared in the martial arts for many years. We only consider him the number one martial arts master out of respect for him. There is really no way to invite him to challenge."
Hai Long said calmly, "It seems that this jasper bow is just a wasted reputation. Why don't I take the throne of the number one person in the martial arts world?" As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of boiling yells and curses, which seemed to be indifferent to these Hai Long.
As if he heard something different, he found something different in the crowd during his spiritual search. With a flash of inspiration, he had already captured that figure.
"Come out, Jasper Gong. I know you are at the scene. Do you still want me to pull you out?" Hai Long's eyes were focused on the west side of the high platform. His eyes flashed like a real figure. Under everyone's surprised gaze, under the pressure, Hai Long was forced to come out.
The figure I noticed flew up to the high platform. It was a woman with a delicate figure. She was wearing a long gray skirt and a sheep's hat on her head, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Hai Long frowned slightly and asked, "Are you Jasper Bow?" He could feel that this woman was not very old but she had a very mysterious aura about her body.
A plain voice sounded, "Yes, I am the Jasper Bow. The dignity of the Jasper Bow cannot be insulted by anyone. I accept your challenge."
Crossing the Qiulu Begonia Sword in his hand, Hailong looked at Tang Ao and looked very surprised and said, "Well, since there is a descendant of the Jasper Bow who is willing to accept the challenge, let's start." After finishing his body turn, he jumped back to the shed behind the high platform.
The largest square in Tongyuan City fell into silence. Everyone held their breath as they watched the two people on the stage. Jasper Bow, who had not walked in the martial arts world for fifty years, appeared unexpectedly. Everyone wanted to see it.
What does this legendary strongest man in the martial arts look like?
The ** woman stretched out a slender hand from her long sleeves. Her skin was very fair. The hand was like a hand carved from the finest white jade. She slowly raised her palm and opened it. An invisible pressure filled the high platform. "I just want to
Shoot an arrow. If you can catch my arrow, then the jasper bow will disappear from now on." A flash of green light, and under Hai Long's surprised gaze, a two-meter-long giant bow appeared in the hands of the female. This bow was completely carved from jasper.
There are no lines on the bow, and the whole bow looks like it is made entirely from nature. The most peculiar thing is that this is a stringless bow. ()
Looking at the huge bow, Hai Long suddenly felt a sad feeling in his heart, as if there was a poignant story on this big bow. The strangeness of the big bow summoned by the maiden was beyond the scope of martial arts. Her bow was like Ying.
The jade-like hand slowly let go of the jasper bow and floated in mid-air. He turned the bow and faced Hai Long. Hai Long only felt that his whole body tightened, as if his breath was completely locked. The pressure emanating from the big bow actually made him, a divine being,
The first cultivation master felt fear.
The woman's body slowly floated up, hanging on the large bow that was completely out of proportion to her body. Her hands slowly retracted. The large bow gradually bent with her movements. People outside the high platform could not feel anything but surprise.
But Hai Long seemed to be in the center of a storm, his robes fluttering gently. Suddenly Hai Long smiled brightly and said, "Girl, do you want to kill me?"
The girl's whole body trembled slightly. Under the powerful threat of the jasper bow, she could actually speak. This was beyond the scope of her cognition. She did not reply. She whispered, "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, jasper blue sky, night and night heart." The jasper bow suddenly bent into a full moon.
A layer of green energy loomed over it, creating an indomitable and domineering aura on the entire bow.
Hai Long's whole body was shaken. He was not surprised because of the sudden increase in the strong pressure of the jade bow, but because of the girl's words. In an instant, she seemed to understand what she said with her hands behind her back, "Come on."
The girl's jade-like hand was trembling slightly - she let go of her hand and a tangible blue air arrow went straight to Hai Long's chest. Hai Long didn't dodge and just stretched out out of thin air with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
He grabbed the incoming Qi arrow. There was a pop of golden light, and the cyan Qi arrow was broken by Hai Long. However, he clearly felt a sharp force rushing into his body along the meridians in his hand and quickly destroyed it.
Only when the power of God was upgraded from the spiritual elixir realm to the human elixir realm could this invading energy be completely resolved.
The girl's whole body shook violently, and she fell from mid-air to the ground. The jasper bow seemed to have lost control and fell towards the ground. Hai Long stepped forward and grabbed the bow of the jasper bow. With his other hand, he picked up the girl and turned his head to look at it.
Tang Ao stood up in the shed and said calmly, "Just take care of yourself." He suddenly disappeared in front of everyone under the white light. Tang Ao could clearly see that the moment Hai Long disappeared, his appearance had changed into something he would never forget.
I couldn’t help but exclaim that it was him! It turned out that this was him!
When Hai Long reappeared the next moment, he was already outside Tongyuan City. The big bow in his hand kept sending waves of breathing power, as if he was trying to escape from his hands. The girl seemed to have fainted, and there was no trace of anything in his arms.
Reaction. He found a towering ancient tree and Hai Long put the girl down so that she could lean against the tree trunk. His eyes turned to the jade bow in his hand. When he grabbed the big bow on the high platform, he could clearly feel the energy contained in it.
The strange thing is completely different from the magical weapon. There seems to be a huge treasure house in the jasper bow. If the treasure house is opened, the power contained in it may be able to surpass the fairy weapon. With a sigh, Hailong placed the jasper bow horizontally on the girl. When the jasper bow body came into contact with the girl,
At that moment, it seemed as if it had found its owner and immediately stopped struggling.
Hai Long stretched out his right hand and flicked a golden light accurately into the girl's bamboo hat. The girl's whole body spasmed and she slowly woke up from the coma with a sound. "Ah! You..."
Hai Long smiled and said, "Girl, don't be surprised that I am the person on the stage just now. It's just my true appearance now."
The girl looked at Hai Long through the veil on her bamboo hat. She looked very disappointed and still sat there without moving, muttering, "How could the impossible jasper bow fail?" ()
Hai Long said calmly, "Nothing is impossible in the world. Yes, this jasper bow is indeed very magical, but the power it requires is too powerful for you. The arrow you used to forcibly increase your power cannot use jasper at all."
The power of the bow is not that of the jasper bow. If the jasper bow fails, it should be you who fails."
The girl was stunned for a moment and slowly took off the bamboo hat on her head. She had a clear face. At this time, her face looked a little pale, and there was a trace of confusion in her big eyes. "Yes! It was not the Jasper Bow that failed. It was me. It was just me that failed."
"I'm so bad that I can't use the power of the jasper bow." Gently stroking the jasper bow on her leg, her face suddenly became very gentle, as if she saw her lover. It was obvious that she was full of love for this big bow.
emotion.
Hai Long said, "Girl, you must have an extraordinary story in your heart. Are you willing to tell it to me? This jade bow of yours seems to be a treasure passed down from ancient times. If my pretty girl should be named Hou." After listening to Hai Long's words,
The girl's hazy eyes suddenly brightened and she looked at Hai Long warily, "Who are you, how do you know..."
Hai Long pointed at his head and said, "I guessed based on the girl's sentence that Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir of blue sea and blue sky every night. So I judged that the girl must be a descendant of the legendary Arrow God Hou Yi. Otherwise, what would happen?
How can I have such a divine object as the jasper bow? Don’t worry, girl, I have no ill intentions and will not rob you of your treasure. If my guess is correct, this jasper bow can only be used by descendants of the great god Hou Yi. My purpose is very simple.
If I want to help you, I can help your Houyi clan."
The girl looked at Hai Long in surprise, bit her lip and said, "Do you believe Hou Yi's biography? It's just a rumor."
