Chapter 18: The Practice of Ripples

On the protruding steep cliff, Ye Ye sat cross-legged in the cold wind, breathing regularly in a gentle but long rhythm, and his body fell slightly together every once in a while, and the whole person seemed to fall into a state of hibernation.

At the beginning, Baron Shepili offered to teach them the Ripple Immortal Dao, which made Ye Ye, who was originally planning how to learn this ability in his heart, suddenly overjoyed, and felt like he had been hit on the head by a gold brick. But then I thought about it, in fact, it was expected, although the origin is suspicious, but in the previous battle with Dior, Ye Ye had already indicated his firm position against vampires, coupled with the later bonus points in the matter of stone ghost faces, and the identity of Chinese, so that Baron Shepili decided to teach him the Ripple Immortal Dao together is simply a matter of course.

Later, Shepili told Ye Ye the most important point, although the Ripple Immortal Dao would derive a series of wonderful abilities when it was practiced to the high and deep realm, in fact, this power was not very lethal - for creatures other than vampires. If you face a vampire, then a person who has practiced Ripple Gong for ten years is undoubtedly far better than a person who has practiced martial arts for ten years; But if the enemy is a human or some other beast, if the power is used for killing efficiency, then a person who has practiced Ripple Gong for ten years may not be able to defeat someone who has practiced martial arts for ten years.

An ordinary person, if he can get used to the breathing method and cultivate a trace of ripple power within five years, he can already be called talented; It took him decades to practice this technique to such a masterful level, and it took no small amount of energy and sweat during that time. Therefore, Shepili is not too worried about someone learning this power and doing evil, after all, the cost performance is too low. If you want to kill someone, a firearm is much faster and more effective than painstakingly learning ripple skills.

"Hey!"

The breath blowing in his mouth shot out more than ten centimeters like a white arrow in the cold wind, Ye Ye opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. Although he was able to get started with Ripple Gong in just half a month, Baron Shepili was already amazed, but compared to Jonathan, a generation of male protagonists who seemed to be born for ripples, Ye Ye's progress was simply insignificant, the difference between fireflies and moonlight.

However, he had long known Jonathan's hidden talents and strength, Ye Ye naturally did not sigh for this, he sighed that he had finally discovered the limitations of this projection body.

Don't look at Ye Ye's performance in the ripple gong in the past ten days, but in essence, it is just that the system's analysis of this power is smooth. If you want to practice the ripple immortal path that others need to calculate in years in a short period of time, you naturally can't start from the basics like the most orthodox learning method, Baron Shepili uses a shortcut method, just like what he did to Jonathan in the hospital that day, using his ripple power to stimulate the diaphragm muscles of the two to temporarily produce ripple power in the lungs, which is equivalent to implanting a ripple seed in the body.

For ordinary people who will soon have breathing disorders, this ripple seed that will disappear soon only adds to the pain, but for people with enough talent such as Jonathan, this ripple power will not dissipate for a long time under his powerful spiritual power, and nourish and germinate, so as to awaken the ripple power that belongs to him, and it will be a thousand miles a day. For Ye Ye, who has a system, this seed is the best object of analysis, coupled with the two best samples of Shepili with profound skills and Jonathan, who is making rapid progress, the system's preliminary analysis of the ripple power is smooth sailing, and what is manifested is Ye Ye's 'extraordinary' talent.

But in private, Ye Ye encountered a huge setback when he tried to practice this power by himself, without the help of the system, he couldn't even sense the power of the slightest ripple, which had nothing to do with Ye Ye's own talent, but the relationship between the projection body. The so-called "success and defeat of Xiao He", since becoming a pioneer and taking a dimensional journey, Ye Ye has been relying on this projection body to run rampant, instant repair, powerful strength, and agile skills, whether it is facing a modern army or a strong enemy like the vampire Dior, he has not fallen behind, which can be described as a momentary glory. But in the final analysis, this is just a projected body, no matter how much it is like an arm, it is not itself.

It's like playing 'The King of Fighters', even if you play the characters in it well, you can use any character to clear the level without losing blood, and your strength in real life will not improve at all; And this projection is the same, it is just equivalent to a future game character with a high degree of virtuality, Ye Ye is naturally invincible when controlling it to fight, but when he is practicing Ripple Gong, he feels a layer of light veil-like estrangement, but Ripple Gong, a method based on the hidden power of ** and breathing, requires extremely subtle perception and operation, in other words, it needs "spirit and flesh together"!

Of course, Ye Ye has another choice, that is, to wait slowly for the system to analyze the ripple power and load it on the projection body, then the ripple immortal path naturally does not need to be cultivated or know the principle to be successful, just like people who use Kusanagi Kyo to enlarge the snake child, and use the Yagami Nunnery to put the Eight Wine Cups, and also do not need to play games to learn these two moves. In the future, when the system level is high enough to interfere with the real world, it will be loaded on top of its own ** - if this level of power is still needed at that time.

However, this choice is definitely not Ye Ye's will, he has no own perception and control, he only relies on the system to put skills like game characters, Ye Ye does not think that it is called his own strength. It's natural to use it when you take risks, but if you pin everything on the system, wouldn't Ye Ye be a waste if you get out of the system?

"Can you only cultivate in the real world?"

Ye Ye frowned, looked into the distance and muttered to himself: "But the time it takes to cultivate to the Ripple Skill from the normal way is too long, and there are not enough conditions, if you want to practice a trace of ripple power under the suppression of the rules of the real world, I am afraid that it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Ye still didn't come up with a good solution, so he could only put this problem behind for the time being: "That's it, let's not think about it for now, maybe there is a solution to the new functions after the system upgrade." ”

"Speaking of which, if the next battle goes well, there will be enough essentia points to upgrade after the end of this world, I'm really looking forward to it."

While thinking about it, Ye Ye finished today's cultivation and got up and went down the mountain--in fact, there was nothing to cultivate, and now the progress of his Ripple Gong only depended on the analysis speed of the system.

Without walking along the mountain road, Ye Ye jumped down the hill, and when he landed, an invisible ripple came out from his toes, slowing down the falling momentum like a spring while providing the power to take off the next jump, like a hare in the mountains, rising and falling to the stream under the cliff.

Although it is still gurgling and not frozen, the stream water in this season is cold and biting, making people feel a chill permeating their bodies just by getting close, but Jonathan is immersed in this cold stream, as if he is unconscious. During this period of time to practice, the stubble on Jonathan's face was already dense, and his hair was messy like a grass nest, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old, but his face was peaceful, and the ripple power in his body slowly but firmly expanded and grew between a long breath and a breath.

"Tsk, worthy of the protagonist."

Ye Ye smashed his tongue, and in his line of sight, Jonathan was like a bright ball of light, containing twice as much ripple power as his; But if Jonathan was bright, then the middle-aged gentleman who was resting in the trees by the stream was so bright, almost six times as bright as the sun in his scanning.

"Mr. Shepili, I need to go to London today." Ye Ye respectfully saluted Shepili on the tree, maybe the man in front of him was not a strong person in the infinite dimensional world, but for the first teacher who taught him extraordinary powers, Ye Ye felt a sense of gratitude and respect.

"Well, if you have something to do, go ahead." As a gentleman, Shepili would not ask about other people's private affairs, not to mention that he was also very satisfied with Ye Ye, a disciple, although the speed of progress was not as good as Jonathan, who seemed to be born for Ripple, but it was far beyond himself when he first learned Ripple Gong.

"By the way, you can stop by and ask if anything strange has happened recently." After a deep sigh, Shepili said.

Ye Ye understood and left the stream.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Guest, it's already here."

The coachman glanced at the entrance in front of him with some fear, and shouted to Ye Ye in the carriage, waiting for Ye Ye to get out of the car, and immediately drove the carriage away in a hurry.

Ignoring the vigilant and greedy gazes around him, Ye Ye strolled leisurely, as if he were walking in an upscale area like Regent Street rather than in London's most notorious ghetto.

"It's still the same mess, won't you clean it up?"

After seeing Spit, Ye Ye complained.

"People here have their own way of survival." Spit replied a little impatiently, and then pointed to a few boxes behind him: "I've prepared everything you said, but is this kind of thing really useful for that monster?" ”

"Believe my friend, these things are definitely more to Dior's appetite than knives and guns!"

Ye Ye laughed and went over and opened the box, which contained a slowly box of wine bottles, which were firmly blocked by corks and strips of cloth, and were filled with brown liquid, which was the famous "Monotov Cocktail" in later generations. In fact, although this kind of thing has not yet been carried forward on the battlefield, the raw material is not uncommon. At this time, the British were still generally using kerosene to light lamps, and after crude oil was refined into kerosene, the remaining gasoline and other impurities were burned in vain as useless waste, so it was easy to get enough gasoline through Spit's snake, and the alcohol-soaked cloth strips were used to complete the Molotov cocktail, although rough.

"This is with flour and aluminum, that is with sugar, and this is with oil."

Spit pointed to a few boxes and explained, "I tried it, these little things are really useful, but if we use these things in our fights, London will be a blank field in less than three days." ”

Even in a post-mortem city of steel and concrete, a fire can cause huge damage, let alone nineteenth-century London, which was full of wooden buildings and chaotic planning.

"I think it's worth the small risk to avoid the extinction of humanity." Ye Ye shrugged his shoulders, although he didn't think that a mere Dio could destroy this world full of stand-in messengers.

"I agree." Spit was very serious: "There is another thing to tell you, that Chinese, your fellow countryman Wen Qing is missing." ”

"Oh, when?" Ye Ye raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Three days ago, the men I sent to monitor didn't find anything unusual, because that guy was already secretive, so now it's certain that he's missing."
