The Dimensional Book of Collapse

The others stayed and waited for the old man to teach them Ripple Qigong.

"Qin Mo, Qin Mo, were you using the so-called stand just now to fight? As expected, people without a stand can't see anything. I just saw you suddenly disappear and then reappear, and the man called Polnareff was injured and fell down."

A stand-in fight might be fast and exciting, but to someone without a stand, it would be incomprehensible.

Mei also nodded beside them. The battle that they couldn't understand at all made them worry for Qin Mo, but it seemed that Qin Mo had the advantage all along.

"Don't worry, I will give you the substitute tomorrow at the latest."

Qin Mo, who originally thought that he had to defeat two more enemies before he could collect 200 crystals, discovered that he actually got 50 crystals after defeating Polnareff.

After some research, it can only be the Stand user who defeated DIO's men in the second main mission.

Polnareff was originally implanted with granulation tissue by Dio to attack Jotaro and the others, but he has now betrayed Dio and is considered by the system to be Dio's subordinate.

Qin Mo could only say, well done!

"Okay, are you ready to learn Ripple?"

Joseph asked, looking at the remaining people.

"I don't need that, Mr. Joestar."

Kakyoin Noriaki shook his head.

Jotaro didn't say anything, but just stood there silently, while Qin Mo nodded and walked over: "Then thank you for your help, Mr. Joseph."

"In that case..."

Joseph took a few steps forward, took a deep breath and suddenly attacked.

"Ripple sprint!"

In an instant, the fingers of his right hand pierced into the lungs of both men from under their ribs.

"Qin Mo! Hey! What are you doing!?"

Kiana walked over quickly and supported Qin Mo, who was unable to breathe because a finger pierced his lungs.

"Kiana... Mr. Joestar must have some reason."

Joseph didn't pay attention to Kiana's questioning, but said to Qin Mo and Jotaro who were out of breath: "Just like that! Punch out the air in your lungs!"

As time passed, Qin Mo felt that he could gradually breathe again. The rhythm of his breathing was changed by the ripples on his body. Combined with the ripples injected by Joseph, Qin Mo felt the abundant life energy permeating his body.

"Ripple... Thoughts..."

Jotaro gradually regained his breathing rhythm, but Qin Mo found that this power was somewhat similar to the feeling he had when he experienced Kuroro's character card before.

But if you feel it carefully, they are different, like two different machines using the same fuel.

"This is the ripple..."

After canceling his character card, Qin Mo had been trying to comprehend his own thoughts, but he failed no matter how he tried.

But after coming into contact with the ripples, I seemed to have felt a certain feeling. After all, both are life energy.

However, as both are transformations of life energy, the efficiency of ripples is lower than that of thoughts, but their application is also simpler, as they can be produced by following a specific breathing rhythm.

However, thoughts are more troublesome, as first you need to be able to feel the thoughts.

Although the system of thoughts is life energy, the widely circulated methods of awakening thoughts all rely on the thoughts of others, so Qin Mo has never been able to understand where the original thoughts came from.

"As expected, you all have strong talents."

Ripple cultivation requires talent. Joseph's grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, has an extraordinary talent for ripples. The life energy generated by the first use of ripples can heal himself and bring back to life a dead tree.

Ripple is purely a matter of the master leading the way and the practice is up to the individual. As a teacher, you can teach more about the characteristics of the ripple and let people develop their own usage methods based on the characteristics of the ripple.

However, Joseph himself did not have a fixed fighting method. His fighting method was to have no method and to adapt to the situation of his opponent at any time.

So naturally he had nothing to teach the two of them, and instead looked at Kiana and Mei.

"Girls, do you want to study together?"

The two men quickly shook their heads. It was obvious that the person who had just made the brutal attack was the so-called professor.

It's distressing even to watch.

But Qin Mo suddenly grabbed the two men's shoulders on the left and right. Because the two men had just supported Qin Mo and had not reacted for a while, strong ripples surged from their hands.

"Oh, you can use it so skillfully even after learning it for the first time."

Joseph couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene: "This kid might be a natural ripple warrior."

Under the influence of Qin Mo's ripples, Mei and Kiana's breathing was forcibly controlled by the ripples and the rhythm was changed.

"Remember this rhythm. The ripples are very useful when fighting against DIO. They can also prolong life and prevent people from aging."

Although the life span of the Herrscher is infinite...

However, Qin Mo thought about whether he could join St. Freya Academy and use the ripple, the universal life energy, as a bargaining chip to trade.

Originally, he had considered using telepathy and stand, but the uncontrollability of these two was too high. There were all kinds of strange telepathic abilities, and many people in the world of Collapse were constantly fighting among themselves. He didn't want the little plot he knew to go out of control because of his intervention, to the point where he couldn't control it. At least, he had to wait until he grew up.

There is no need to worry about Ripples. Although Ripples are quite versatile, their upper limit is there. For the Valkyrie, they just increase some survivability. They will not bring exaggerated strength, nor will they cause you to overturn without knowing it.

Mei and Kiana naturally would not resist methods that could increase their ability to survive, but they were just frightened by Joseph's rough teaching method.

In fact, there are other ways to teach ripples. One is to feel the breathing rhythm of others and slowly change your own breathing rhythm. Another is to use ripples to directly control the beginner's body to perform ripple breathing.

However, the former takes too long and is usually used on ascetics, while the latter consumes too much ripples and depends too much on the learner's talent.

Therefore, poking fingers into the lungs to expel the air externally, and then using a small amount of ripples to guide the breathing rhythm has become a more mainstream teaching method.

The study of ripples is also directly linked to physical fitness.

Kiana and Mei both have good physical fitness, the former has the blood of the Kaslana family, and the latter is the Menkyo Kaiden of Hokushin Ittoryu, plus she has become a Herrscher, so after feeling the rhythm of the ripple breathing, she immediately mastered it.

But as we all know, human breathing is in automatic mode. When you realize that you are breathing, it becomes manual mode, but when you are distracted to do other things, it becomes manual mode again.

The same is true for ripple breathing, when two people are deliberately adjusting their breathing rhythm, it seems to be going smoothly, but when they are distracted, they will return to their habitual, instinctive breathing rhythm of the body.

"Mr. Joseph, can you prepare three specially made corrugated breathing masks for us?"

Joseph naturally would not refuse such a small request and agreed without saying a word.

Chapter 7: Stigmata Substitute

The first day in the JOJO world is almost over.

Although he didn't actually run around much, Qin Mo still felt very tired because he needed to think of a good excuse to explain to others, and a lie required more lies to cover it up.

Fortunately, many of his lies cannot be verified now, and there is no one in the JOJO team who can do a lie detector.

In addition, with the cooperation of Kiana and Mei, even though they had many doubts in their hearts, they chose to listen to what Qin Mo said at the beginning. They did not say it out loud, but just followed Qin Mo silently.

Kiana didn't ask until Qin Mo followed the two of them into the hotel room.

She was the type of person who couldn't keep secrets, so it was a bit difficult for her to hold it in for a whole day.

"Qin Mo, are you really from the future?"

Obviously, Mei also had the same question, but compared to the straightforward Kiana, she chose to keep it in her heart and wait for Qin Mo to explain.

But since Kiana asked, there was no reason for her not to listen.

“It can be considered as such, but it can also be considered as not.”

Qin Mo thought about it and did not tell them that they were characters in works he had seen in his previous life, but said.

"I know the future of JOJO and the others. I know them and am very familiar with them, but they don't know me."

"If I have to explain, it's that I grew up listening to their stories. From Jonathan Joestar a hundred years ago to the last story of this world, Jolyne Kujo, I know everything. So for this era, it's not an exaggeration to say that I came from the future."

Both of them nodded as if they understood, but they still didn't know much about Qin Mo's background.

But this is not important. After all, the few people have been together for several months. A hero is not judged by his origin, so the origin of one's friends is not that important.

"Okay, Mei, today's events have allowed me to transform a Stand ability into a stigmata. I'll help you apply it."

"What about Miss Ben's?"

Kiana asked quickly.

"Not now, but I think it will be possible after I defeat the Dark Blue Moon enemy tomorrow."

Qin Mo now has 150 crystal stones in stock, the 50 left at the beginning, the 50 for joining the expedition, and the 50 for defeating Polnareff.

This is all thanks to Polnareff's dedication, otherwise I would have to defeat the power to collect all 200 crystals.

"I want to give the Stand of Crazy Diamond to Meiyi, because Crazy Diamond's healing ability is more important than the one I'm going to give you. Besides, with the Stand, Meiyi will be able to see the Stand, so she can deal with it if she encounters an attack."

"Attack? Didn't you say the enemy we encountered recently was that fake captain?"

Kiana still remembered the information Qin Mo had announced in the afternoon, so she should be safe here.

"That's the truth. Originally, they were supposed to leave today, but because of us, they stayed for a day. Maybe something unexpected happened."

Qin Mo didn't completely believe the plot. After all, the enemy was also human and would take different actions based on the intelligence.

After converting the character card into a stigma, the original character card of Higashikata Josuke became [Stigma: Crazy Diamond]

Stigma: Crazy Diamond (S)

Effect: After equipping, you will get a substitute: Crazy Diamond, which has the ability to repair

Introduction: The holy scar produced by special transformation can be directly attached to the back to take effect. It takes a certain amount of crystals to remove it. After fully mastering it as one's own power, the next holy scar can be equipped.

The introduction and effects are simple and crude. The original body of the Stand, Josuke Higashikata, is gone, leaving only the name of the Stand.

"Okay, Mei, take off your coat. This stigmata needs to be applied directly to the skin on your back to be effective."

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Raiden Mei blushed but did not refuse. Instead, she gently unbuttoned the collar of her sailor uniform.

But the two of them ignored Kiana who was standing aside.

"No, no, no! Mei, how can you just take off your clothes in front of boys like that!"

He quickly rushed over and pressed down Mei's unbuttoned collar. You know, the Far East region had started to get warmer at the end of March, and basically the school uniform of Chiba Academy was a sailor suit with underwear underneath.

After unbuttoning the collar, you can already see that touch of whiteness...

Then he was covered by Kiana.

"Turn your back! Don't look!"

Kiana glared at Qin Mo, making Qin Mo feel a little regretful. Why did he bring Kiana here?

If she wasn't here, maybe...

But maybe this was also Qin Mo's own fault? After all, he was aiming to complete the task from the beginning, but in the end, that step was a little difficult to take.

In the end, Qin Mo turned his back and waited for Kiana to inform him that it was okay before turning around. He saw Mei sitting on the chair with her back to him, and Kiana Kaslana standing next to her, looking at him like a white-haired cat and looking fierce and aggressive.

Qin Mo walked over and gently placed his palm on Mei's creamy white back, feeling Mei's body tremble slightly.

It’s so cold... Even though she was wearing clothes, Raiden Mei’s body was much colder than Qin Mo’s palm.

Open the system and choose to use the stigmata. A white line appears on Raiden Mei's back with Qin Mo's palm as the center. Several simple curved lines outline a human-shaped pattern. If you look closely, it is very similar to Crazy Diamond.

"All right……"

Reluctantly, Kiana withdrew her hand and immediately picked up the quilt that had been prepared beside her and wrapped Meiyi up, not giving Qin Mo any chance at all.

"Ahem, Mei, you can give it a try. Just use your mind. Just think of it as an extension of your limbs."

The feeling of a Stand is very strange. People who have not experienced it personally can hardly understand it, but in fact, it is an extension of one's own will. Just like Jotaro at the beginning, he had been resisting his Stand, causing Star Platinum to go berserk. However, the so-called berserk was just Star Platinum doing what he wanted to do but was restrained by his reason without hesitation.

It's like, when you pass by an armored car and see so much money inside, you think how great it would be if you had so much money. A normal person would just think about it and would not rob it because he still has reason. However, Star Platinum in a runaway state would follow this thought and rob it without hesitation.

So when Jotaro accepted Star Platinum as his own power, he was able to completely control it.

Of course, part of the reason is that Star Platinum is too powerful.

Although Crazy Diamond is also quite powerful, he is not as overwhelmingly powerful as Star Platinum.

After all, when Star Platinum was turned into a DISC, Pucci chose to hide it because the Stand was too powerful and no one could use it.

Chapter 8: Dream of the Holy Scar

Mei Raiden tried to feel it, and Crazy Diamond appeared behind her. Looking at the strange-looking Crazy Diamond, Mei blinked: "Is this the substitute?"

"Yes, this is a stand-in. Each stand-in has a completely different image."
