Chapter 261: Cultivation

"Ripple Qigong."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Breathing is closely linked to blood, because blood carries oxygen out of the lungs, and the oxygen in the blood is connected to the body cells, which are equal to the body, that is, just like stirring up ripples in water, you have to use breathing to create ripples in your body...... ”

Joseph Joestar stood opposite the defenders, standing on the icy surface of the river, rippling in circles under his feet, forming a wonderful ripple that looked unusually dazzling in the sunlight.

"My master, Will A. Shepili, once a baron in Norway, discovered the secrets of vampires by chance, which led to a bloody massacre, and finally just when he thought he was going to die at the hands of the vampires, the sun rose and the unobstructed vampires melted, and he was spared. It is for this reason that Shepili discovers the shadow of Norway hidden in the sun, an evil dynasty that has been completely ruled by vampires. ”

"In order to avoid more vampires and find a way to deal with them, he abandoned everything and traveled across the ocean to finally discover the power of the fairy path called 'Ripple' in the far east. In order to learn the power of ripples, Shepili spent several years, during which he was on the verge of life and death many times, and finally found a fairy island in the vast sea in the east that only existed in the legendary name 'Penglai', and learned the power of ripples from it. ”

【From Danny......】

[Legendary ...... from Luke Cage]

Joseph Joestar's story of the history of ripples, especially the appearance of Penglai in the course of Baron Shepili's study of ripples, sent a great shock to the hearts of the members of the Defenders.

"Penglai! You mean, that guy named Shepili cultivated the ripple power from Penglai? ”

Jessica couldn't hide the stunned expression on her face, and blurted out to Joseph Joestar.

She didn't expect it, she just simply listened to the other party explain the cultivation process of Ripple, and there was such an unexpected secret hidden behind it.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the defenders, Joseph Joestar nodded and replied, "What, is there anything strange?" Why do I feel like you guys are so much of a show for Penglai. ”

"We have fought side by side with Penglai, and one of the members of the Defenders Alliance once came from Penglai."

Matt was silent for a moment, and then revealed the defender's connection to Penglai.

"Really!"

Hearing the answer, Joseph Joestar's face showed a surprised expression at the right time, and even the ripples under his feet seemed to be much denser because of the change in mood, he shook his head, barely restrained his emotions, and muttered: "I didn't expect that I would be able to hear the news of Penglai again in New York, this is really ......."

"Immortal Dao power."

Danny lowered his head and muttered to himself.

He noticed that Joseph Joestar described the ripple as the explanation given, so after Matt finished answering, he couldn't wait to ask.

In fact, it's not just Danny, but the members of the Defenders are also very concerned about this.

After all, this is the power of immortals, Ah Xing once told the defenders about Penglai's immortal law, and they have also seen the power of the immortal law "Rulai Divine Palm" with their own eyes, whether it is the evil god of Huoyun or Ah Xing who came back from the dead.

If, everything Joseph Joestar says is true, then ......

Thinking of this possibility, even the calmest Matt, his breathing involuntarily became rapid.

"I don't know."

However, in the face of the expectant gazes of the defenders, Joseph Joestar shook his head: "I don't know, the power of ripples is very magical, but what step can be done, even my master Baron Shepili doesn't know, after all, the reason why he learned the power of ripples in the first place was to eliminate vampires, so after mastering the cultivation of ripples, he left Penglai and embarked on the fate of being a vampire hunter, and it was during this period that I met him." ”

In fact, Li Ran was somewhat sure of how far the power of ripples could be. At the very least, he could judge that even if he cultivated the ripples to the top, at most he would only strengthen the body and resist aging, and as for the immortal method or something, he just thought about it.

After all, the ripple power he currently mastered came from [Kaz], and according to the cultivation method of the ripple, as the ultimate creature can freely control the cells of [Kaz], the ripple power exerted can almost be said to be the peak of ripples. And even if it is far beyond the human [Kaz], the power of its ripples can at most melt the flesh of ordinary humans.

According to this inference, even if human beings practice ripples to the highest level, they can only sunburn people, and the principle is similar to the sunburn people.

Of course, the above is the lethality of ripples to humans, for vampires and even corpses, the destructive power of ripples is still extremely terrifying, after all, whether it is a large piece of sunlight or a little sunlight, as long as it shines on the vampire's body, it is enough to cause fatal melting damage.

"Really?"

Joseph Joestar's reply somewhat regretted the members of the Defenders.

They were even wondering how far Baron Shepili would have gone if Baron Shepili had not chosen to leave Penglai and continued to cultivate, and would he have been able to learn the Immortal Method, like Ah Xing.

Of course, Matt and the others knew very well that this was just a conjecture, and if Baron Shepili hadn't left Penglai, they would not have met Joseph Joestar as a vampire hunter now, and naturally they would not have been able to know the history of Ripple and the relationship between them and Penglai.

After throwing out the setting of Ripple, Joseph Joestar did not delay much and continued to talk about the true cultivation method of his Ripple.

As Joseph Joestar said before, the power of ripples comes from breathing, but this is not something that can be done by simply breathing, and even according to the explanation in the world of "JOJO's Wonderful Journey", ordinary ripple messengers often need to practice for more than ten years, decades, before they can skillfully cooperate blood flow and breathing and learn the power of ripples.

To put it simply, ripples are actually a subtle control of the body, and cultivators often need to be extremely qualitative and reverse their breathing habits for several years before they can feel the power of ripples.

……

β€œF***K!”

frowned, and cursed in a low voice.

Jessica opened her eyes and looked at the members of the Defenders who were still watching with their eyes closed, feeling the ripple power of the shit.

She opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth, pouted and stood up, and walked towards the river.

Cultivating the power of ripples requires a certain degree of mental disposition, calming one's heart, and obviously, this requirement is too difficult for Jessica. The past experience has been haunting her, even if the purple man has died in the hands of Li Ran's doppelganger Wesley and was shot in the head, but the psychological trauma left by the purple man has always been entangled in Jessica's heart, as if it has become a shadow in her heart.

In fact, the reason why Jessica became so addicted to alcohol is also related to the shadow caused by the purple people.

It can be said that as long as Jessica does not forget these for a day, she will never be able to calm down and feel the power of the ripples.

Of course, for the next step, it doesn't make much difference whether she learns ripples or not, and her own abilities have actually given her a pretty obvious advantage in the battle with vampires. After all, according to Joseph Joestar, these vampires, while difficult, don't have the ability to fly, as legend has claimed.

Standing by the river and taking a deep breath, Jessica looked at the calm surface of the river and the subtle ripples, and the expression on her face was a little distracted.

What she said in the law firm before was not casual, and the endless stream of evil villains completely changed the world.

However, superheroes are not as popular as everyone thinks, although some people have been saved because of the actions of superheroes, but there are also a few people who have attributed their tragic experiences to superheroes. The Battle of New York suffered countless casualties, and thousands of innocent people lost their families to the alien invasion.

There are those who are grateful, and there are also those who are extreme.

A small group of people who lost everything because of the invasion took aim at superheroes.

Even the Defenders League was partially outraged, and Jessica was once attacked by a madman on her way to work, on the grounds that it was because of the existence of superheroes that she caused her own tragedy.

In this regard, in addition to cursing this shitty world, Jessica also rewarded the guy with a punch to make the other party understand that although the defenders saved Hell's Kitchen, they are not stupid people who can't fight back.

"Looks like you've given up on the cultivation of ripples?"

In silence, Luke Cage's deep voice pulled Jessica's distant thoughts back again.

Turning her head and looking at the big black brother beside her, Jessica raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you the same." ”

Hearing this, Luke Cage lowered his head and showed his trademark smile.

Learning ripples requires talent, and it's clear that Luke Cage doesn't have the talent for that.

Luckily, Joseph Joestar has shown that Ripple, while the most effective force for killing vampires, is not the only one, especially in a fight with a corpse, where a powerful attack is just as good as killing them. Obviously, both Jessica and Luke Cage have a certain degree of confidence in their own strength.

……

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work?"

Frowning, Danny opened his eyes from meditation.

As the owner of the Iron Fist, the cultivation method of the ripple is similar to the power of the iron fist to a certain extent, and the past cultivation experience has also enabled him to immerse himself in the heart more smoothly, feel the power of breath and blood in the body, and even go one step further, he may feel the power of the ripple that Joseph Joestar said.

However, it was at this crucial step that Danny felt the obstacles.

And what hindered him was nothing else, it was the power of the iron fist in his body.

Iron Fist gives Danny superhuman powers, but it also limits his ability to comprehend ripples.

It can be seen that the power of the Iron Fist is an extremely domineering force. In fact, it is also the same, the iron fist is the key to protecting Kunlun, guarding Danny and also eliminating the possibility of other forces entering the body.

Knowing this, Danny shook his head with some regret.

With Danny giving up, Matt is the only one left among the defenders who still insists on feeling the power of the ripples.

And this, in fact, is also in line with Joseph Joestar's or Li Ran's speculation.

Although the defenders represent a group of street superheroes, Matt is clearly quite a special being, and he may not be as powerful as Jessica and Luke Cage, nor as strong as Danny's Iron Fist. However, in terms of inner will, this hero named Super Daredevil is strong enough, and on the other hand, the defect of eyesight, instead of becoming an obstacle to Matt's cultivation of Ripple, has become a help.

Super senses, allowing him to focus more on the subtle changes in his body, breath and blood.

Sure enough, after a period of silence, Matt ended his movements, slowly stood up and turned his head to Joseph Joestar on the side: "I already feel the power of the ripples in my body. ”

"Good."

Hearing Matt's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Joseph Joestar's weathered face.

"Really?"

Hearing Matt's words, the members of the Defenders suddenly showed surprised expressions, and while they were happy for him, they also showed some doubts.

After all, none of them had learned the power of ripples.

In the face of Jessica's doubts, Matt showed a faint smile on his face, did not say anything, but walked to the bank of the river, raised his finger to touch the surface of the river, and in the next moment, a wisp of ripples extended from his fingers, and soon set off a circle of ripples on the surface of the river.

The ripples that Matt had just learned were still very around, and they were even used to fight the corpses, leaving a hole the size of a small thumb in their bodies at most, but no matter how weak it was, it was already the power of ripples.

And Matt's success in cultivating ripples also means that the defenders will have the power to balance or even defeat them when facing vampires in the future.

"I've given you the power of the ripples."

Looking back from the ripples on the river, Joseph Joestar looked at the defenders in front of him: "One thing you need to know is that although Ripple is the power to defeat vampires, but in the battle with vampires, Ripple is only one of the keys, just like the existence of vampires, many times, vampires are not only terrible because of the evil power he shows, but also because of his ability to seduce people's hearts, in the past battles, I have seen too many vampire hunters who can't resist temptation and eventually degenerate into vampires." ”

"Therefore, in addition to vampires, you must also be careful of an existence called Stone Ghost Face, which is the source of vampire power and the key to transforming humans into vampires......"
