Soon, Dio followed Lisa Lisa to a castle.
"The prologue of the trial is called 'Hell's Rising Pillar'! If you can't pass this trial, you will not be qualified to stay on this island."
"Okay, let's go down!"
The 3-meter-high steel door opened instantly, and before Dio could see what was inside, he was pushed down by Lisa Lisa.
At that moment, Dio wanted to call out [World], but unexpectedly discovered that in this training copy, he could not summon any stand and could only rely on himself!
It's really a rip-off!
After a subconscious scream, Dio fell into a pit more than 20 meters high. Fortunately, there was a certain depth of oil underneath, and Dio's body had been strengthened by ripple energy and nourished by [Pearl Jam], and was already far superior to that of ordinary people, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.
A large amount of oil flowed down the marble column, and Dio's vague memory was gradually awakened. He probably knew what trial would be waiting for him next.
as expected!
Lisa Lisa, standing on a high place, announced the specific content of this trial without any emotion: "Using the ripples to climb to the top of this 24-meter-high stone pillar with bare hands will be considered a success in the trial. Any other method will be prohibited."
After saying that, he turned around and left, such a cool and hipster!
Only Dio was left cursing down there!
"It's just a crappy game. Why did you have to design it so authentically?" Dio couldn't help but complain about his colleagues in his previous life. Of course, the more likely possibility was that the golden finger had traveled with him through time and space, and some of its functions had undergone unpredictable changes.
"We've got such a difficult task right from the start. Fortunately, this is just an illusion. There shouldn't be any chance of starving to death, right?"
Dio thought uncertainly, and at the same time tentatively called out the game panel. After finding that he could quit at any time, he breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had any worries.
"I remember that the key to climbing this pillar is to condense the ripples on your fingers, and to strengthen the power of the ripples by concentrating them at one point. Despite this, it took the second generation Joe and Caesar more than 60 hours to climb up..."
"This is the application of 'stickiness' in the ripple technique!"
Once you learn it, you can even run on water like the ninjas in Naruto!
Speaking of which, this is really similar to the practice methods of "stepping on trees" and "stepping on water"!
He closed his eyes and tried hard to recall all the applied knowledge about ripples in his mind. After a long time, Dio suddenly opened his eyes, then stretched out his ten fingers and pressed on the greasy surface of the marble column.
"Keep breathing, concentrate the power of the ripples on your ten fingers, and absorb them on the surface of the stone pillar..."
Done!
At this moment, Dio's body was completely suspended in the air, with only his ten fingers tightly attached to the surface of the stone pillar. At first glance, it looked like he was possessed by Spider-Man!
However, as joy turned to sorrow, he was so excited that he couldn't keep his breathing rhythm, the ripple force quickly disappeared, and he fell down immediately.
"Don't mess up your breathing! Keep the rhythm!"
Dio patted the breathing corrector on his face speechlessly. It was really difficult to wear this thing!
However, once he could adapt to wearing this thing for any strenuous exercise, he estimated that after returning to reality, he would be able to practice the ripple breathing method as an instinct! At least it would not easily cause a disorder in the breathing rhythm!
Determined to give himself a good rest, Dio calmed down again and began his journey to climb the pillar.
One meter, two meters, three meters, five meters...
One hour, two hours...
With every additional step forward, the difficulty increases exponentially, and the ripple energy consumed also increases!
This "Hell Rising Pillar" was originally a special training scene designed to enhance the endurance of the ripples. Now Dio is very much looking forward to the results after the training is completed!
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
A full 24 hours passed, and Dio climbed 15 meters!
The higher you go, the more inclined the "Hell Pillar" becomes, and the more difficult it becomes.
Fortunately, this is just an illusion. Dio does not need to eat to maintain his strength and will not starve to death. He can devote all his time to practice.
As time went by, Dio became more and more adept at using "stickiness". Compared with the ripple fighting skills that were directly drawn out, the ripple fighting skills that he had comprehended and practiced by himself were more impressive.
Finally, after 55 hours, Dio successfully climbed to the top of the "Hell Rising Pillar" and completed the entry trial!
The moment he climbed to the top, Dio just lay there, not wanting to move anymore.
But although his body was very tired, his spirit had been fully tempered, his whole temperament seemed to have changed, and his understanding of the use of ripples had reached a new level. He was no longer a useless person who could do nothing without the golden finger.
"Very good. Being able to complete the trial of the 'Hell Ascending Pillar' in such a short time has fully demonstrated your talent and intelligence."
When Dio completed the trial, Lisa Lisa appeared beside him in an instant like a ghost.
Dio didn't want to get angry with an 'NPC', so he nodded in response.
Then he saw the old woman throwing something at him. He subconsciously condensed the ripples in his hands and steadily caught the thing thrown by the other party.
When I looked closely, I found it was a cup full of water.
When he looked again, he unexpectedly discovered that the cup of water in his hand was actually upside down!
Even though the cup was upside down, the water inside didn't spill at all!
Dio was stunned for a moment, then he noticed the ripple power in his hands, and suddenly realized how much of an improvement the previous trial had brought to him!
Relying on the use of "stickiness", he actually absorbed all the water in the cup, so that none of the water could fall out.
The power of ripples is truly a magical power!
Dio sighed again at this moment!
"Don't be in a daze, the real training starts from now on."
"Thanks!"
Dio got up and didn't know why he thanked an 'NPC', but this was really a sincere thank you that came out of his heart.
Lisa Lisa still had that cold look on her face, seemingly not interested in anything about him. Even when she heard his thanks, she just nodded slightly and then turned and left.
Dio quickly followed, and he began to look forward to the special instructions that would follow.
Moreover, he began to feel that the best thing he would get from this round of thirty consecutive draws might not be the Gold Experience Card, but the Lisa Lisa Guidance Illusion Card!
