Shinryuu

is an Inazuman martial art invented by Shousen, featured in the Phantom Flow event. According to Shousen, in contrast to the armed combat styles of the Iwakura Art, Kitain Art and Favonius Bladework, Shinryuu is a technique that involves fighting against opponents recreated from one's imagination — or in his words, "exercising one's heart to hone one's combat skills." Apart from combat, Shinryuu can also be used to simulate weather, mechanisms and even Ley Line Disorders.
==Story==
On his travels abroad to study the martial arts of the world, a younger Shousen visited Natlan, where he witnessed the art of boxing. He noticed that the locals trained using a method they called "shadow boxing", where boxers would practice sparring by imagining their opponents' actions and reacting accordingly. Impressed by this technique, Shousen was inspired to develop Shinryuu.
At some point, Eiin of the Iwakura Clan had learned Shinryuu, and used it to challenge a human-shaped Electro Crystalfly; though he barely lasted ten seconds against it, according to Shousen, which he claims is "the mightiest creature in the world."
Due to the tangible nature of Shinryuu simulations, the art poses great danger to the practitioner; imagined weapons such as blades and muskets are able to slice one's hands and feet, or even shoot through one's body. As time went on, Shousen's students abandoned Shinryuu out of fear, and some were expelled by him due to their deemed reckless behavior.
During the Phantom Flow event, the Traveler participates in Shousen's no-holds-barred Shinryuu fighting tournament.
