As the battle progressed each day between her and Sai, she gained a much better mastery of her skills but also was able to put to practice many of her ideas that she had witnessed in various martial arts movies.
The fighters would usually display light footstep techniques where it was like they could step on water or even a falling leaf to quickly use as a stepping stone to run or jump to another location.
They were shown to battle on a building scaffolding and even within a large crowd using either the environment to their advantage by swinging in between the poles or woodwork and kicking at their enemy as they come through and for the other, balancing or running across the crowd as they stepped on their head or shoulders.
This was something that could be done with the right practice and she had come to that place and met someone who could achieve these feats but an even better version of it.
Sai had great balancing techniques and footwork to match his own style allowing his to read his opponents moves and find a way to use the movements to his own advantage by stepping on them while dodging to gain an advantageous position to attack from.
However he was unable to do this against Alyssia and she could not do the same because they were difficult opponents for each other to be up against since they were so similar.
After many exchanges, Alyssia won once again and stepped down after overpowering and knocking him down.
Chinjao looked on at his grandson who was defeated once again and displayed a complex look in his eyes.
He could see his grandson becoming overtaken by her slowly and the more they sparred, the smaller that gap became.
This only helped to strengthen his grandsons resolve to train even harder so he was not overly worried.
After seeing his grandson leave, he stepped forward and looked towards Alyssia. "The next lesson will be on my family technique to complete the drill. This is quite simple and is basically a teaching of how to use energy. For now, I would like you to stop holding back and show me some of the kicking or moving methods that you have developed with your powers."
Alyssia nodded and then began to display several of her White Leg Style moves while making some changes to the gathering point on her foot depending on where the point of impact would be but also displaying how she uses it for her Kanga-Tail, Flash Step and Flash Jump unique abilities that she had developed.
After watching for some time, Chinjao calmly stated. "I believe that this is your power which you can channel and use to attack or in other ways to increase your speed or stun your opponent but the way you use it is too wasteful and does not allow you to reach the maximum potential. From now on I hope that you can practice enveloping or coating the chosen limbs of your body in a layer of your energy. Take Haki as an example, many people may coat a small part of their body with Armament Haki to attack or defend against an attack but most skilled users are able to coat all of their body or some parts very efficiently and not waste any excess energy while doing so if they practice enough. If you gain enough control of your energy then I believe that you can efficiently coat or envelop your legs with your power and maximise your attack power by a large margin but also make a large stride towards the completion or evolution of my families technique. For the final technique, the chosen limb must be fully coated in Haki to strengthen its defence and attack as much as possible and then complete the Eight Impact Fist upon mastering it to a certain level. This way mountains, shields, large humans or even giants may not be able handle the destructive and penetrative power behind the attack."
Alyssia remembered this concept from some novels where the various characters used qi, ki, world energy or other names that it was called and remembered that what she had been doing was channeling, holding, building up and releasing her own energy at one or two points similar to chakra or meridian points in the body.
The martial artist would reach a stage where they could release energy from their body when they attacked or moved but upon reaching the next stage they learned to envelop their fist or weapon in qi to provide much higher attack power.
There are similar situations where a character may engulf their hand in energy and suffer a setback when confronted with a more powerful or experienced opponent but after receiving some advice they are able to show great improvement and learn how to use their energy better and also the rate in which they gather the energy is much smoother and more controlled after practicing for some time. [1]
Instead of focussing her energy on her feet or engulfing her foot, she should instead focus on trying to engulf her entire lower leg or legs in her Electro.
Another example of similar control of energy would also be in Bleach which is used by Yoruichi and Soifon which is named Shunko which have the characteristics if either lightening or wind.
Apart from enhancing the arms and legs for combat, the technique allows the user to instantly neutralize an opponent's movement.
The Kidō itself can also be controlled and fired at opponents from the body, which creates massive explosions.
Of course there may be some differences when using that style and Electro but now that she had the skill combining feature, she believed that creating something similar with the energy manipulation skill would make something become more of a reality.
The main thing that she had a problem with was the possibility of her clothing bursting apart upon activating such a technique and having to wear specially designed clothing so that it will not need to be replaced often or something with resistance to her Electro and other elements.
The possibility also exists for her to be able to engulf or coat her weapon in Electro rather than channel it through the weapon itself which can also increase the attacks effectiveness further or change the way she handles the use of her Electro.
Alyssia took his words to heart and put this into her list to begin experimenting on.
She had previously had similar ideas but she had already reached the maximum mastery of her Electro and could no longer make further progress but now with the humans energy theories and the improvements made by the system, she found that it might actually be possible.
Chinjao looked at the grateful look on his face and then shook his head. "Do not thank me just yet. I am still not done with your lessons. The next stage will be even more difficult so I will give you a couple of days to prepare."
Alyssia smiled and quickly left to continue studying and experimenting further with the various energy skills while other things were being created within the blacksmith at her, Nica and Alfred's request.
Nica was hard at work assembling many of the parts that had been made so far and she frequently visited the blacksmith to discuss many things to gain further insights into different types of metals and various uses of them and other materials.
[1] see the manhwa chapter 14 of 'I'm a martial arts villainess but I'm the strongest' for an example, later it is also shown that she gains a greater control to summon a large qi cannon and later easily redirects an enemies all out attack with the new mastery of her energy.
