Chapter 2729 Aizen's Advice to Joseph!

"The whole concentration in the middle?"

Joseph repeated the unfamiliar word, while Aizen's voice still lingered in his ears.

“I noticed that you mentioned before that each time you use Ripple, you need to temporarily inhale a lot of oxygen before or during a battle and pay attention to your breathing rhythm in order to briefly unleash the power of Ripple.”

"In other words, your reinforcement is 'active' and 'intermittent'."

"Once your breathing is interrupted, or your lungs run out of air, your ripples will stop, and your physical abilities will immediately revert to their original state."

Aizen's gaze was gentle yet sharp, directly pointing out the flaws in the opponent's Ripple technique.

"But the 'Total Concentration. Constant' state of Demon Slayer Breathing Technique allows one to maintain the effects of the breathing technique continuously for 24 hours, even while asleep."

"This means that reinforcement has shifted from 'proactive' to 'passive', and from 'intermittent' to 'normal'."

"Imagine Joseph."

"If you can apply this skill or state of mind to Ripple Qigong."

"Let your body be filled with ripples of energy at all times."

"Keep your breathing in that special rhythm."

"This will not only give you a near-permanent leap in your basic physical fitness."

"It also allows you to immediately counterattack without preparation when encountering unexpected situations."

As Aizen described it, Joseph's mouth gaped wider and wider.

The disdain in his eyes had long since vanished, replaced by surprise and contemplation, followed by a hint of entanglement.

"Maintaining the ripples for 24 hours must be quite difficult; it must be very strenuous."

Although he himself is a genius of self-awakening ripples.

But he has a playful personality, which doesn't seem to be associated with diligence or hard work.

Recently, I've been looking for performance that's impressive, especially considering the Santana's recent success.

Hearing that there were many more such terrifying beings made him feel a sense of urgency.

That's how he was in the future in the 'original timeline'.

After sending Katz into space, he rarely used Ripple Qigong for many years.

This caused his body to age naturally, and he didn't improve much when fighting Dio.

Aizen smiled slightly: "It shouldn't be difficult for you. I suggest you give it a try."

“Okay.” Joseph gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

He immediately stood up, bowed deeply to the other person, and earnestly pleaded:

"Then please recommend and teach me a Demon Slayer Breathing Technique that suits me, as well as the Complete Concentration Technique: Normal State!"

"Perona, could you briefly explain the training methods used in the complete series to him?"

"Horo horo horo~"

Hearing that Aizen was giving her a chance to prove herself, the little girl beamed with joy.

"Okay, okay!"

"Although Ms. Kanao said in class that our breathing techniques are not yet at the level to reach this level, it has already helped us to start improving our lung capacity."

Then she performed another out-of-body experience, floating to the top of the Starry Round Table and gesturing wildly as she explained to Joseph.

"The method is to have us blow on gourds every day~"

Wow, blowing on a gourd increases lung capacity?

Joseph joked, "That sounds interesting. Are you asking me to blow it and make a sound?"

“No, I mean blow it up!” Perona said, surprising everyone.

Joseph's eyes widened: "Huh? Blow it up?!"

Perona nodded: "Yes, and you have to blow up the gourd of allocation every semester."

"Then they'll give us an even bigger gourd."

"Until your lung capacity reaches the point where you can blow up a gourd that's a meter tall."

"Oh my god, is this really possible?"

Joseph was sweating profusely, looking completely incredulous.

Perona grinned, revealing her white teeth in a playful smile:

"Sure, I've already raved about two of them. Actually, it's not that bad, it's just that you have to practice every day."

Then she looked at Subaru Natsuki and asked, "Subaru-nii, how well did you play?"

"Uh—, we've been bragging about it every day, but it hasn't blown up yet."

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head sheepishly.

Perona gently comforted her, "It's okay, you've only just begun. Anyway, you already have a physique comparable to us starfish people. If you keep at it, you'll achieve it sooner or later. Keep it up!"

Then he turned to look at Joseph, who was sitting next to him and seemed a little frightened.

"In addition to improving lung capacity, I also practice deep breathing with full concentration every day through meditation, including during sleep."

"Until you can clearly perceive and influence the flow of the air around you at your fingertips."

"That's what Ms. Kanao said, but I haven't experienced it yet."

Perona tilted her head, revealing a very cute expression.

She also said that "Changzhong" is essentially a very basic and rudimentary technique.

"But it takes considerable effort to fully master it."

"Basic and elementary," Joseph thought to himself, speechless.

Although he didn't know how far Ripple Qigong had developed.

However, this practice method of "total concentration and constant concentration" does not seem easy to learn.

Putting everything else aside, having the lung capacity to blow up a one-meter-tall gourd is something no normal person can do.

Aizen was right after all; it is indeed a skill worth learning.

Joseph even vaguely sensed how much the 'Total Concentration. Constant Concentration' would affect the Ripple Qigong.

But I'll have to figure it out myself once I understand it better.

"As for the breathing style that suits you."

At this moment, Aizen spoke again.

His deep gaze behind his glasses swept over Joseph from head to toe.

This made the latter subconsciously slightly nervous.

After a moment, Aizen slowly spoke: "Based on your personality and the various traits you displayed during your battle with Santana."

“I think ‘Water Breathing’ is most suitable for you.”

"Water Breathing?"

This answer stunned not only Joseph, but also Subaru and Perona.

"But."

Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but interject, "Isn't the Water Breathing technique about having a calm, still, and gentle mind?"

"Is Joseph's rather unconventional and enthusiastic personality really suitable?"

Perona nodded in agreement: "Yes, I thought you would recommend the passionate Flame Breath or the fiery Thunder Breath."

Aizen smiled faintly: "Your understanding of Water Breathing is too one-sided."

"The essence of water breathing is not simply 'calm' and 'gentle,' but the ultimate 'adaptation.'"

A wise glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Joseph.

"You are very good at being resourceful and adaptable."

"The fighting style is extremely complex, not bound by any form, and anything can become your weapon."

"When faced with a desperate situation, you never confront it head-on. Instead, you act like water, going with the flow, finding gaps, penetrating, surrounding, and finally engulfing your opponent."

"According to Perona's previous description, most users of Water Breathing do indeed pursue a defensive counterattack that is as deep as still water."

"But if it's you, Joseph."

Aizen's voice rose slightly:

"Your breath of water will not be a trickle."

"Instead, it's like a flood sweeping across the land, taking away everything usable and engulfing the surrounding environment."

"This characteristic allows it to adapt to any shape, no matter what container it's placed in."

"It is precisely the key to the perfect resonance between 'Water Breathing' and your 'Battle Philosophy'."
