บท 1099: Changes

Ryu stepped out of the void, his gaze flickering with several unshared thoughts. The feeling he was getting was odd, too odd. 

From what he could tell, the [Unbalance Mantra] didn't actually make his spatial qi any stronger. It didn't grow more powerful, nor was it suddenly able to output more offensive or defensive power. Rather, it was like its structure and fundamental nature had shifted somewhat, changing what it could accomplish. 

If Ryu had to explain it, it was almost like changing water from a liquid to a solid state. 

If you wanted to rip through a piece of paper with water, what would you have to do? Well, the obvious answer would be the pressurize the water until it became no different from a speeding drill. At the highest velocities, water could be just as dangerous as just about any other substance.
