Chapter 025: Techniques

Precisely because he knew what breathing techniques were, Bruce Wayne's expression carried a hint of disdain when he spoke of them.

He actually knew breathing techniques, and more than one kind.

After all, many martial arts have their own accompanying breathing techniques.

He did not hold much hope for the breathing technique Wang Bo mentioned, because in his view, breathing techniques were nothing special—though miraculous, they were not of much use against the power of AFO.

Wang Bo could tell that Bruce was unimpressed by what he had just said.

But he was not angry; instead, he said calmly, "The breathing technique I am teaching you now is unique to a certain world. It is a power derived from Eastern immortal Dao. Through breathing, it can make you extremely powerful and enable you to do all sorts of incredible things, like this."

Wang Bo picked up a wine glass from the table and gently swirled it, causing ripples to form in the wine.

Wang Bo turned the wine glass upside down.

The wine was fixed in the cup, not pouring down.

Then Wang Bo drained the red wine from the glass in one gulp, opened his mouth and spat, and the wine, like a sharp blade, effortlessly cut the decorative Western sword hanging on the wall in two.

"This is the Ripple Breathing Technique. It can not only attack enemies, but also heal wounds, and even rejuvenate a person. Even something like a withered tree coming back to life in spring is not impossible."

Bruce Wayne saw the effect Wang Bo had demonstrated and instantly realized that he had underestimated the breathing technique Wang Bo had mentioned.

This breathing technique was more miraculous than any he had ever learned.

His preciousness is self-evident.

"Are you really willing to teach us the Ripple Breathing Technique?" Bruce Wayne asked.

"That's right." Wang Bo nodded. Since he had made up his mind, he would not go back on his word.

In the following days, Wang Bo began to teach Bruce Wayne and Spider-Gwen the Ripple Breathing Technique.

The lower limit of Ripple Qigong was extremely low; as long as one could breathe, one could use this miraculous power.

Moreover, the effect was outstanding, even immediate.

The only difficulty was overcoming the breathing rhythm cultivated over many years.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Wang Bo was fortunate; he had merely dreamed of becoming Jonathan Joestar, and when he woke from the dream, he had learned the Ripple, transforming its breathing rhythm into his instinctive breathing rhythm.

This is what made Wang Bo improve every minute and every second.

According to Wang Bo's understanding, whether it was Gwen or Bruce, mastering the Ripple Breathing Technique would take at least several weeks.

But who would have known that the two possessed talent beyond ordinary people, and actually took only about ten days to learn this Ripple Breathing Technique.

This is truly impressive.

Wang Bo had to admit that there was a difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

During this period of learning Ripple Qigong, Bruce Wayne also discovered the Batcave and renovated it, turning the Batcave into his own secret base.

He returned to Wayne Enterprises, took up a position there, and obtained a set of high-tech equipment from a man named Lucius Fox, officially becoming Batman.

Only this Batman had not yet made his debut in Gotham City.

But when Bruce Wayne had learned Ripple Qigong and could maintain his breathing rhythm without disruption even while sleeping, he believed the time had come.

That evening, Bruce gathered everyone together. "I think we should make a move. We need to find out as soon as possible what AFO has been up to these days."

"That's right, I agree."

After learning Ripple Qigong, Gwen's strength greatly increased. She could even transmit the Ripple through her spider silk, not only successfully enhancing the silk's toughness but also using it to perform a variety of techniques.

For example, techniques such as the Over-Kill Whip, Elastic Line, Descending Scoundrel Line, Spider Web Wall, Exceeding Whip, 16 Holy Bullets, and so on.

The person who helped Gwen develop these moves was naturally Wang Bo.

Actually, developing these moves was merely an accident.

On the second day of learning Ripple Qigong, Gwen discovered that she could transmit the ripple through her spider silk, and could use it to alter the silk's toughness and strength.

The direction of the spider silk could even be controlled.

When Wang Bo saw this, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

Spider silk is actually a kind of thread.

In that case, could Gwen use a variety of techniques like Doflamingo from the world of One Piece?

So, urged on by Wang Bo, Gwen set off down the path of no return.

And within just a few days, several of Doflamingo's techniques had been learned.

Admittedly, these techniques were not as powerful as the original versions.

But for Gwen, it was definitely a very good method, allowing her lethality and danger level to rise several notches.

This is also why Gwen agreed with Bruce's words.

Because she believed that after learning Ripple, she had been completely reborn. She could take on several of her former selves without breaking a sweat.

So Gwen was now quite inflated, believing she could take on AFO.

To this, Wang Bo said, 'Whatever makes you happy.'

Although he was not optimistic about Gwen, he thought that if Gwen insisted on escaping, AFO might really not be able to catch her.

Regarding these two restless fellows who can't contain themselves, Wang Bo said, 'I advise you to prepare for the worst.'

Bruce Wayne said calmly, "We will."

Wang Bo could tell from his expression that the guy was fully prepared to strike.

What else could he say about that.

Half an hour later, Bruce Wayne transformed into Batman, drove his Batmobile, and took Gwen out of the Batcave.

The butler Alfred stood beside Wang Bo, watching the Batmobile depart, and said to Wang Bo, "They will come back safely, won't they?"

Wang Bo said, "You know the effects of Ripple Qigong quite well, don't you?"

Yes, it wasn't just Bruce and Gwen who learned the Ripple Breathing Technique; even Alfred learned it.

What was even more terrifying was that this was not something Wang Bo had actively taught Alfred.

Rather, it was during Wang Bo's instruction of Bruce and Gwen that Alfred would come in to serve tea and water, occasionally listening to a portion of Wang Bo's explanation of Ripple Qigong.

Thus Alfred learned Ripple Qigong one step ahead of Bruce and Gwen.

Thus it could be seen that this butler was by no means a simple character, for this one was, after all, the Batman among Batmen.

The reason Wang Bo brought up Ripple Qigong at this moment was to put Alfred at ease.

With Ripple Breathing, as long as the two aren't killed on the spot, combined with their high-tech gear, the chances of them making it back are very high.
