The Martial Unity

He planned to see how viable grounding the kinetic energy that he absorbed from his opponent's attack to get rid of it, the same way one did electricity, was. However, his initial failure wasn't an indication that the option was not viable. He just messed up the execution of the plan.

"Again."

Once again, she threw a solid jab at him. This time, he managed to absorb and channel more of it downwards than before.

SKRRRRR...

He skidded heavily, and deeply into the ground. By the time he stopped, he was a hundred meters away and waist-deep into the ground.

"That was better." Rui's eyes glinted with interest. "However, there might a problem I hadn't foreseen."

When he tried to direct his kinetic energy downwards, he was essentially trying to make himself move downwards instead of flying away like he normally did. He hoped that by directing the inherited momentum and kinetic energy down, he could dispel it into the land without any issue.

However, he now realizes that there were likely issues with that plan as well. When he directed his inherited momentum and kinetic energy downwards, it meant that his body was moving fast down, which meant that he was essentially crashing into the ground.

('That's why my body dug in so deeply.') Rui frowned as he looked at how below the surface he had dug into as he skidded across the ground.

Furthermore, this was just with partial success, if he did succeed in diverting all of his momentum down, how deep would he go?

('Shit.') Rui felt a pang of anxiety. ('This issue isn't light, it might make the project unviable if I don't find a solution.')
