Chapter 9

Time flies like a white horse passing through a gap, and before they knew it, a week had passed.

During this week, Jotaro and Ryudou Lingguan learned Ripple Sendo from Baron Zeppeli every day. Of course, Jotaro was personally taught by Baron Zeppeli, while Ryudou Lingguan practiced on his own.

After all, Baron Zeppeli placed his hopes on Jotaro and naturally put more effort into teaching him.

Jotaro learned many strange techniques from practicing with Baron Zeppeli, and Ryudou Lingguan also picked them up while watching from the side. In terms of manipulating power, he was much stronger than the two foreigners.

Baron Zeppeli was also a genius. After learning Ripple Sendo, he discovered that no matter how hard humans worked, they could never match the speed and strength of the stone mask wearers. So, he developed some strange techniques, such as the Spring Punch, which uses Ripple power to dislocate joints to extend the attack range, and the Ripple Walk, which is the natural nemesis of vampires.

Using these strange techniques, Baron Zeppeli defeated many zombies and vampires. Although he was not as skilled as the masters in the East, he was still quite powerful.

One day, after the practice session, Baron Zeppeli talked to Jotaro about his past, while Ryudou Lingguan quietly sat to the side, studying Ripple Sendo.

As Baron Zeppeli explained, Ripple Sendo uses breathing techniques to generate ripples in the body, creating energy. However, the same ripple power can produce different effects in different people because everyone's physical condition is different. The stronger the body, the stronger the ripple power it can generate.

The reason Baron Zeppeli believed that "no matter how hard humans work, they cannot match the speed and strength of the stone mask wearers" is that human physical conditions are limited. No matter how much Ripple Sendo stimulates the body to produce energy, there is always a limit, and this limit is lower than the strength of those who have been transformed into vampires by wearing the stone mask. It is only natural that they would be stronger.

However, just like the main character is never bound by existing rules, Baron Zeppeli's view does not apply to Ryudou Lingguan.

First, Ryudou Lingguan mastered the magic spell and had already cultivated the second spell, which can enhance his own abilities. By organically combining the second spell with Ripple Sendo, he could generate much stronger ripple power than ordinary people. As he delved deeper into the second spell, the ripple power he generated would naturally become even stronger, giving him a natural advantage over ordinary people.

Second, he also mastered the demon-exorcising secret techniques passed down from the Ryudou Temple. Using Ripple Sendo as the main attack and the demon-exorcising techniques as support, it was not difficult to defeat unprepared vampires.

During this week of practicing Ripple Sendo, Ryudou Lingguan did not forget to continue cultivating the magic spell. By now, he could skillfully generate ripple power and the second spell. The next step was to organically combine the two, enhancing his own abilities and generating powerful ripple power.

Fortunately, he had already made some progress, and success was just around the corner!

In the following days, he continued to explore on his own...

As for the conversation between Baron Zeppeli and Jotaro, he did not pay any attention to it. Fortunately, the content was not very important, and he already knew a bit about it, so he did not need to waste time on it.

Time slowly passed as Baron Zeppeli and Jotaro talked...

"My father was the captain of the excavation team. He and the others melted in the morning sun, turning into gas and disappearing. The ship carrying the stone mask then vanished without a trace."

Recalling this, Baron Zeppeli trembled, tears welling up in his eyes. It was clear that he had not yet come to terms with the death of his father and the crew.

After listening to Baron Zeppeli, Jotaro asked, "Why ripples?"

Baron Zeppeli did not answer directly but instead threw a pebble into the lake, trying to stimulate Jotaro's thinking. "Jotaro, how do you eliminate ripples?"

Jotaro, though big and burly, was not stupid. He threw another pebble into the lake. "By creating another ripple!"

"Exactly! By creating a larger ripple of energy, the ripples will be shattered. Since my father was vaporized by the sunlight, I deduced that vampires fear the sun. The energy waves produced by Ripple Sendo are the same shape as the waves of sunlight, which naturally counteract evil. This is why Ripple Sendo can counteract the evil stone mask."

Baron Zeppeli continued, "The bone nails of the stone mask trigger unknown powers and evil intentions in the brain, but they need to absorb energy from the blood of others. Ripple energy is also generated from the circulation of one's own blood. Both are essentially the same life energy, which is probably part of the reason."

"Mr. Zeppeli, I will work hard to cultivate Ripple Sendo. No matter how hard it is, I can endure it, and I can overcome any challenge!" Jotaro said firmly.

"Even if you don't want to, I will teach you! There is not much time left, Jotaro!" Baron Zeppeli nodded in satisfaction.

On the other side, Ryudou Lingguan did not see the emotional scene. He was fully focused on combining the second spell of the magic spell with Ripple Sendo.

In fact, the combination was easier than he had imagined.

After careful study, Ryudou Lingguan found that the magic spell's power had a strong包容力, and it did not interfere with the energy generated by Ripple Sendo. When the second spell was used, it could enhance every part and every cell of his body. Using Ripple Sendo on this foundation, the two could be seamlessly combined without any issues.

Moreover, ripple power is a form of life energy. The higher the cultivation of Ripple Sendo, the stronger the life energy, and the body's endurance and capacity would increase significantly.

For Ryudou Lingguan, this meant that his body could accommodate more spell power and spiritual energy, improving his endurance and maximum output.

Therefore, after quickly finding a way to combine the magic spell with Ripple Sendo, Ryudou Lingguan focused on accumulating spell power and ripple power.

He should have gained more practical combat experience, but Baron Zeppeli was teaching Jotaro one-on-one, and he had no opponents to practice with. So, he could only work on improving his strength.

Ryudou Lingguan gathered his mind and concentrated on cultivating Ripple Sendo.

From previous practice, he knew that Ripple Sendo was very similar to the true qi in martial arts novels, both being forms of life energy that could be converted into spell power.

By diligently cultivating Ripple Sendo and appropriately converting the ripple energy, he could enhance both his ripple power and spell power, achieving a win-win situation.

As the breathing technique gradually deepened, the air drawn into his lungs always generated invisible ripples within his body. Then, as he circulated the energy, the invisible ripples quickly transformed into life energy, which was stored in his body. He could clearly feel his body and life energy gradually strengthening.

In the following days, Ryudou Lingguan immersed himself in cultivation. Whenever he reached the limit of his Ripple Sendo cultivation, he would convert part of his power into spell power and store it in the magic spell pattern, then switch to cultivating spiritual energy. When his spiritual energy reached its limit, he would convert it into spell power and continue cultivating Ripple Sendo...

This cycle continued without end.

In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.

After nearly two weeks of intense cultivation, Ryudou Lingguan's various powers had significantly increased, with the most being spell power, followed by spiritual energy, and then ripple power.

There was no way around it; the time spent cultivating ripple power was too short to catch up with the other two.

Of course, while diligently cultivating his internal skills, Ryudou Lingguan did not forget to cultivate his external skills. He had learned the Spring Punch developed by Baron Zeppeli and the Expanded Punch developed by Jotaro, but he did not plan to integrate them into his own system. The manipulation of ripple power in these techniques was too crude, and with a systematic tradition, he naturally wanted to develop his own techniques.

So, he racked his brain and thought of all the high-level techniques he knew. In the end, he chose a very powerful name for the technique he developed.

Now that everything was ready, it was time to face Dio!
