The Martial Unity

However, even if it was not suited against defensive and maneuvering-oriented Martial Artists, it was suited to taking down offensive Martial Artists, which was good enough. A single solution could never be tuned to countering everything.

"I'll call this… Project Skyfall," Rui decided.

That occupied one technique slot that he could work on.

He still needed two more techniques for countering speed and defense.

He also needed techniques that weren't exclusive in nature; these techniques were meant to increase adaptive evolution, not sabotage the other elements of his adaptive evolution, which suggested that he ought to be able to fight normally even with domain techniques.

It was meant to expand the dimensions of his combat, not contract it. Although he wasn't too sure how realistic this condition was, he was willing to give it a shot.

Bearing that condition in mind, he had the perfect domain techniques in mind for defense and speed.

'For speed, I can create a domain that impedes all motion,' Rui realized. 'By using heaven-bending, it should be possible to manipulate the properties of drag force, specifically the drag coefficient.'

Rui grinned as he happened upon an incredible idea. Drag force was simply the force of air resistance when moving. The drag coefficient was a constant that every object had in a given medium, and it was essentially a measure of how much the air would impede motion for a given object moving at a given speed.

increased by the square of the velocity of the object. Meaning if the object became twice as fast, then the drag force would become four times stronger. If the object became thrice as fast, then the drag force would become nine
