The Martial Unity

"Now then, let us get to the principles of domain techniques," Master Gurren continued. "The principles of manipulating the heavens are very different from manipulating earth."

He exhaled heavily before him as his hands were poised, ready for action. They began moving in slow, delicate movements, curling, shifting, and flowing, which in turn impacted the wind currents, sound, and pressure gradients, causing their vectors to change as he pleased.

"This is how we manipulate the heavens. We bend breath. We bend its force to, in turn, bend the heavens," Master Gurren explained. "This is known as heaven bending. The quality of your heaven techniques is dependent on the proficiency of your heaven bending."

Rui's eyes widened. "I see, that's incredible!"

There were many forces in this world that determined atmospheric and air factors together. Gravity from the planet and the moon, the forces from the Coriolis Effect, exposure to sunlight, the composition of air, topography, and ecology all acted on the atmosphere, resulting in the outcome.

Heaven techniques, a sub-field of domain techniques centered around the heavens, relied on turning the powerful force of breath of the user into the dominant force acting on the atmosphere around the user, allowing them to impact it.

"Of course, the quality of heaven techniques is also dependent on your understanding of the flow of heaven," Master Gurren informed him. "The flow of the heavens is not one of chaos. There are rules. Laws. Principles. Of course, theoretical scholars have yet to gain anything more than a minor understanding of the order that lies underneath the seemingly chaotic surface. While scholars attempt to codify the order of heaven on paper with strange symbols that they insist are scientific and mathematical, we Martial Artists are left with no other means but our instincts, intuition, and experience. The latter hones the former, improving our subconscious understanding of the world."

Master Gurren paused, raising an eyebrow. "What are you smirking about?"

"Nothing."

"Hmph, you are arrogant through and through, arrogant brat."
