Chapter 330. Training (Part1)

"Ripple."

"Breath and blood are closely linked because blood carries oxygen from the lungs, and oxygen in the blood is connected to the body's cells. The body's cells are equivalent to the physical body. In other words, just like creating ripples in water, you must use breathing techniques to create ripple energy in your own body..."

Joseph Joestar stood in front of the Defenders, standing on the cold surface of the river, with ripples spreading out from his feet in circles, forming a wonderful pattern that looked exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight.

"My master, Will Anthonio Zeppeli, was once a Baron in Norway. Due to an accidental discovery of the secret of vampires, he caused a bloody massacre. When he thought he was about to die at the hands of the vampire, the sun rose and the vampire melted, unable to hide, saving him from danger. It was for this reason that Zeppeli discovered the shadow hidden beneath the sun in Norway, an evil dynasty completely dominated by vampires."

"To avoid being hunted by more vampires and to find a way to deal with them, he gave up everything and traveled across the ocean to finally discover a power called the 'Ripple' in the distant East. In order to learn the power of Ripple, Zeppeli spent several years there and was in mortal danger many times. He finally found an immortal island in the vast sea of the East that only existed in legends called 'Peng Lai,' and learned the power of Ripple from that place."

[Reputation points from Jessica Jones...]

[Reputation points from Danny Rand...]

[Reputation points from Luke Cage...]

The history of the Ripple Joseph spoke of, especially the appearance of Peng Lai during Baron Zeppeli's training caused great shock to the members of the Defenders.

"Peng Lai!? Are you saying that the Ripple that the guy named Zeppeli learned came from Peng Lai?"

Jessica couldn't hide her surprise as she blurted out a question to Joseph.

She never expected that behind the simple explanation of the Ripple, there would be such an unexpected secret.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the Defenders, Joseph pretended to be puzzled and nodded, "What's wrong? Is there something strange? Why do I feel like you guys are too surprised about Peng Lai?"

"We fought alongside Peng Lai before, and one of the members of the Defenders was from Peng Lai."

Matt spoke up after a moment of silence, revealing the connection between the Defenders and Peng Lai.

"Really?"

Hearing the answer, Joseph's face showed a timely expression of surprise, and even the Ripple under his feet seemed to become denser because of the change in his emotions. He shook his head, trying to control his emotions, and murmured, "I didn't expect to hear about Peng Lai again in New York. This is really..."

"An Immortal technique?"

Danny whispered to himself.

Noticing that Joseph's explanation of the Ripple, so after Matt explained, he added his own opinion.

In fact, not only Danny but the other members of the Defenders were very concerned about that.

After all, this was the power of immortals. [Ah Xing] had told the Defenders about the Immortal arts of Peng Lai, and they had witnessed the power of the Immortal arts in [Buddha's Palm], whether it was the [Lord Godless] or the resurrected [Ah Xing].

'If everything Joseph said was true, then...'

At the thought of that possibility, even the calmest Matt couldn't help but breathe faster.

"I don't know."

Facing the expectant gaze of the Defenders, Joseph shook his head, "I don't know. The power of the Ripple is very mysterious, and even my master, Baron Zeppeli, didn't know how far it could go. After all, he learned Ripple for the purpose of defeating vampires. So after mastering the Ripple, he left Peng Lai and embarked on his destiny as a vampire hunter. It was during that period that I met him."

In fact, Ryan had some confidence in how far Ripple could go. At the very least, he could judge that even if one practiced Ripple to the utmost, it would only strengthen one's body and resist aging to a certain extent. As for immortality, it was just a thought.

After all, the Ripple that he currently possessed came from [Kars]. According to the Ripple's technique, [Kars], as the ultimate lifeform that could freely control cells, had already reached the pinnacle of his Ripple power. Even if [Kars]'s Ripple, which was far beyond human beings, was used, it could only melt the flesh of ordinary humans to a certain extent.

Based on this deduction, even if humans practiced Ripple to the highest level, they could only cause sunburn-like damage to people. Of course, the aforementioned killing power of the Ripple against vampires and even undead people was still extremely terrifying. After all, whether it was a large area of sunlight or just a little bit of it, as long as it shone on a vampire's body, it was enough to cause fatal melting damage.

"Is that so?"

Joseph Joestar's reply made the members of the Defenders somewhat regretful.

They even wondered what level Baron Zeppeli could have reached if he hadn't chosen to leave Peng Lai and continue his studies. 'Could he have reached magical levels like Ah Xing?'

Of course, Matt and the others knew that this was just speculation. If Baron Zeppeli hadn't left Peng Lai, they wouldn't have met Joseph, the vampire hunter, and naturally wouldn't have known the history of Ripple and the relationship between them and Peng Lai.

After setting up the concept of the Ripple, Joseph didn't waste any time and continued to explain the true method of learning the Ripple.

As Joseph had previously mentioned, the power of Ripple came from breathing, but it wasn't something that could be achieved simply by breathing. According to the explanation in the world of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," Ripple users usually need to practice for tens of years or even decades to skillfully coordinate the flow of blood and breath to learn the power of the Ripple.

In simple terms, Ripple was actually a kind of control over the body that required practitioners to have extremely strong self-control, revising their breathing habits for several years before being able to feel the power of Ripple.
