Fist of Spreading Venom
WaterDescrição
Ki can be used to remove poison from the body, pushing it out like a breath of foul air exhaled. But it can also be used to deliver poison alongside strikes. By taking small amounts of a poison into their own body, a kihō user can spread an even amplify its effects, making it spread like a contagion to any they touch. While this power is seen as a grotesque misuse of ki by some practitioners, others believe that it is as natural as a serpent's fangs - frightful, perhaps, but no less a part of the living world than any other animal, plant, or thing.
