Chapter Forty-Six: Goodbye Fist Saint
Under the premise of the same water pressure, the smaller the muzzle of the water gun, the farther the spray will be fired. And the same is true of the ripple power, the more concentrated it is, the more powerful the ripple will be. The practice of the Ripple Immortal Dao is not only to continuously increase the ripple energy in the body and everything will be fine, but also to control, compress and concentrate the ripples.
A small island in Venice in the world of JOJO, during the Roman Empire in 39 AD, the ancient ripple messengers established a place of cultivation called "Column", which has been passed down to the present day. In this Ripple Emissary's training ground, there is a terrifying challenge called the "Hell Ascension Pillar", and for more than a thousand years, countless Ripple Emissaries have died because of the failure of the challenge.
It was a deep pit in which a huge column, 24 meters high and 7 meters in circumference2, was made entirely of polished and smooth marble, and at the top of the column was a large amount of oil flowing down the column, lubricating the surface of the column day and night. The oil that has slid down will concentrate in the pit in the ground, and then be pressed up to the top of the pillar by the force of the tide, and continue to flow outward, and the cycle will continue forever.
The Ripple Messenger who challenges this level must use Ripple Gong to climb along the column of this place where there is no strength with his bare hands, and get out of the pit before his physical strength is exhausted, otherwise he can only stay in the pit and wait for starvation to death, becoming one of the many losers who die under the column.
Moreover, the column is not vertical, and the higher it climbs, the more it becomes like a cliff, and there is no room for breathing; In addition to this, the cylinder is equipped with a trap, and the unlucky challenger will also encounter an ultra-high-pressure oil knife that spews through steel from the cylinder, and the Ripple Messenger must use two opposite ripple forces at the same time, attaching himself to the cylinder and bounce the oil knife at the same time in order to pass the death obstacle.
The difficulty of Ye Ye's cultivation at this time was naturally far less than the challenge of the "Hell Ascension Pillar", but the ripple output of more than twenty hours without any chaos also made him feel a little unsustainable.
Suddenly, Ye Ye's mind moved, and the ripple output of his fingertips suddenly increased, bouncing his whole person out of thin air, and then tumbling in the air and falling into the courtyard. It's not that Ye Ye can't hold on, it's just that the person he was waiting for has already come.
"What kind of cultivation method is this? Do you exercise your finger strength? ”
A curious voice sounded in Ye Ye's ears, and as in the past, it was still a white robe covering his body, and his face was deeply shrouded in the shadow of the robe.
"It's just idle and nothing to do. It's been a year, my teacher, the boxing saint Ogata Ichigasai! ”
Ye Ye respectfully clenched his fists and saluted the person in front of him. Different from what Furtena thought, the Fist Saint didn't just take Ye Ye three years ago and just ignore it, in the past few years, he would take a month or half a month to sneak into the island every year to check Ye Ye's cultivation progress. If it weren't for Ye Ye's speed of progress that made the Fist Saint very satisfied, he wouldn't have left his contact information to Ye Ye.
"It's been a long time, my disciple, and I'm surprised to hear that you've done something big."
The boxer laughed amusefully, but there was a bit of appreciation in his tone.
"Hey, just one Furtena, how can he get into the eyes of one shadow and nine fists."
"Oh, then you should also know about Furtner's partnership with 'Darkness', aren't you afraid of revenge for killing him?"
Ye Ye was not afraid at all, and replied proudly: "Master said with a smile, when did 'Darkness' become such a humane organization?" My relationship with Vortner is nothing but a personal feud, and who will interfere unless someone commissions it? ”
Although the power of "darkness" is huge, it is actually just a loose alliance reached by many martial arts masters in the dark world, to some extent, similar to the mercenary unions that Ye Ye had read in the novel in reality. Not to mention that Furtena is just a collaborator of "Darkness", it is common for martial artists who are also "Dark" to kill each other when encountering mission conflicts, so Ye Ye is not worried that "Darkness" will stand up for Fortna, and "One Shadow and Nine Fists" is not a nanny. What's more, as a disciple of the Fist Saint, in a sense, Ye Ye's relationship with the "darkness" is closer.
"That said, you should know that Furtena is one of the 'dark' financiers, and you are not prepared to give any explanation?" The Fist Saint was a little helpless, although he didn't take this matter very seriously, but after all, it was his disciple who killed Vortner, and he always had something to say to the others of "One Shadow and Nine Fists".
"Of course, this is the vast majority of Furtena's information, so how about compensation for this?" Ye Ye casually took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Ogata Kazusai.
Ogata Kazujinsai took it with great interest, although the "One Shadow Nine Fists" are all masters who have reached the pinnacle in the field of martial arts, and their interest in martial arts is far greater than wealth and power, but the consumption of money is indispensable for such a large organization as "Darkness" to maintain its operation. If Furtenner was alive, "darkness" would naturally not do anything to him, but now that the person is dead, the interests he left behind will soon be divided by other forces, why doesn't "darkness" occupy the largest share?
"Besides, Fortner's arms seem to be more closely related to the guys in the weapons group than the bare hands, and his death may not be a bad thing for 'One Shadow Nine Fists'." Ye Ye smiled and said another reason.
The top level of the empty-handed group is the "One Shadow Nine Fists" including the Fist Master, and the highest level of the weapon group is called the "Eight Huang Crime Blade".
Although they belong to the same organization, because of the different concepts of martial arts, the relationship between the two factions has always been estranged and they do not agree with each other. All three of Vortner's masters are armed with weapons, and the bare hands are generally more averse to modern thermal weapons than those of the weapons group, so Vortner's tendencies in the "dark" are not clear.
"Okay, if you're reasonable, what are you going to do next, follow me back to the 'darkness'?" The fist saint was noncommittal and asked Ye Ye.
"Of course, but before that, I have one more request, please ask Master to come back to Deathmatch Island with me first."
"Oh..."After three years of getting along, the fist saint instantly knew Ye Ye's plan, and said meaningfully: "For a martial artist, too much affection is a sign of weakness. ”
"It's just that the opinions on martial arts are different, but the strong are always the strong." Ye Ye disagreed, even the masters of the killing fist were not ruthless and emotionless killing machines, but they would not show mercy in battle.
"Seeing that you are confident, you are so sure that I will definitely agree?" The boxer was suddenly very curious about Ye Ye's self-confidence.
"Master, won't you agree?" Ye Ye pretended to be stunned and asked, and then said leisurely: "Then I can only find other kind experts to help, maybe those living people will agree to my request, for example, Liang, Shan, and Bo." ”
"Hahaha!" Hearing Ye Ye's answer, the boxing saint suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so much that it seemed that tears were flowing out, and he stopped laughing for a while and said, "Forget it this time, don't mention this name in front of other 'One Shadow Nine Fists', otherwise you will die." ”
Liang Shanbo, a familiar name that has a completely different meaning in this world, represents a gathering place for living boxing masters who adhere to the concept of "Shenwu does not kill" and are completely opposite to "darkness". Although it is just a dilapidated dojo on the outside, and there are only six masters inside, it can compete with the "darkness" on an equal footing, and even hang the title of "strongest" and make the "darkness" helpless, and the strength can be imagined. Especially the elder of Liang Shanbo, known as the "invincible superman", Hayato of Fenglin Temple, has not tasted defeat for decades, and is worthy of the name of the world's number one master, and his strength is almost beyond the limit of human beings.
And the apprentice they taught, that is, the protagonist of this world, Shirahama Kanichi, has changed from a thin boy who knows nothing about martial arts to a master of beating the disciples of Yiying Nine Fists "YOMI" in just two years. But if you count the time, he shouldn't be able to get started yet.
If Ye Ye went to plead, these masters who stood on the side of justice would really agree to his request, but Ye Ye was just saying, he was not ready to be hunted down by the "darkness" now.
"Okay, since it's my lovely disciple's request, then I'll agree to you this time." The Punch Master seemed to be in a very happy mood: "I will take it as a reward for you, but before that, I will check your progress first." ”
"Here, let's see how far you've grown to kill Vortner!"
"Well, then, offended, Master."
