A few minutes later the big imp takes his last breath, taking a few steps back Sadashi observes her work. The big imp's an entire body in the unrecognizable state His arms and legs twisted like Italian fusilli, his fingers smashed to splinters with bone shards jutting out in places, and finally his ribs and spine were riddled with cracks and fissures.

When she was breaking the big imp's body she found out it’s bone structure, it was similar enough to the human body to be tossed around with Aikido. If she had a sharp tool she would have cut it open, she wanted to know its pressure points so badly. Too bad she couldn't find any sharp rocks around otherwise she would have found out what his insides looked like.

Upon seeing this Sadashi quickly adds all of her free status points to her STR, as she is impatient to unlock her Mu-Ryu fighting style. The Mu-Ryu fighting style is a formless style that varies on its practitioner, unique for every family member of her family. Sadashi and her mother have a similar style that focuses on footwork, arm strength, and powerful finishers.
For your info, her father's focuses on counters and throws, her Elder brother focuses on kicks and agility, her second little brother focuses on chi manipulation and Gun Fu, and her first little brother is focused on grappling and breaking bones. This is why there family’s arsenal of techniques and weapons have always kept evolving.
Looking around Sadashi decides to head deeper into the dungeon instead of searching the exit. Afterall to unlock her blessing she needed to fight opponents that were a higher level than her. Besides, battling is the best way of polishing her techniques and make them a true part of her body.
Exiting the little alcove she was born in she finds herself in an even bigger cave, far larger than the one she was born in. Lava and flame was everywhere forming lakes and rivers of the stuff, all kinds of monsters swimming under the surface, thrashing about on land, and flying in the sky.
Normal beasts have no place here a as it would only mean death, even if it evades every single predator on its tail it would soon fall to the harsh elements. But lucky for her, she was born for this place so the intense heat was only a warm breeze to her.
Sadashi might like to fight but that doesn’t mean she’s suicidal, inching away from the literal rivers of fire she walks into the forest of charred black trees. Unfortunately the leafless black trees didn’t provide much cover for the flying monsters. With them circling overhead the threat an ambush or sneak attack was all too real.

And low and behold Sadashi hear a faint slithering noise. Tensing up she prepares for the coming attack, stabilizes her breathing she searches for the source of the sound.
"If you can't see your enemy don't move, wait for the moment of attack. You’ve got only one shot so why focus on your senses, wait for it to make a move and strike it down." She remembers her father's speech focuses everything on her three senses.
*a few moments later*
Sadashi didn't move from her position still waiting for the predator. Suddenly she hears footsteps approaching from behind her. When she looks in that direction Sadashi sees four imps like her, but these were armed with short sword and oversized leather armor.
"Found food, food!" The imp with a knife shouted with glea, probably a scout.
"Is it dead?” Another asked intrigued, this one had heavier armor, a frontliner.
"Hey come with us." The first one shouted at Sadashi.
"It is dead so no need to trick to our base take her" A third one said matera factly.
From there ramblings it was obvious they planned to eat her, is it common for Imps to eat their kinds But even with this she didn't move, she was waiting for the real predator.
"GGAaH!" One the imp shouted in agony.
One imp(the one with the knife) was bitten by a black snake with a black colored gem embedded in its skull. Just a few seconds later the imp's skin color duled to black as it dropped to the ground dead.
"Finally came out huh?” Sadashi said dryly
Ignoring the Imps Sadashi rushes the snake, using 90% of her chi she brings a devastating strike down on its neck just below its skull.
*BANG BANG*
With the heavy chi infused strike pulverised the snake's spine as the force shredded its insides, Second Impact automatically doing the double tap for her.
*Crunch*
With nice sound, snake drops on the ground with losing control of body as it hits the ground.
Hearing a rather ominous swishing sound Sadashi quickly sidesteps the sword that had come for her back. When she turns to look at the three imps, she sees one imp thrusting towards her. Using this chance she catches the rusted and warped sword between two chi infused palms.
With the pitiful excuse of a sword between her hands Sadashi snapes the brittle blade into pieces. With his sword brocken and his shity footing the dumfounded Imp tumbled forward, falling into her already clenched fists as she planted it firmly under its jaw dropping it out cold.
Rushing the imp to the left of their hastily formed formation she takes him out with a sword hand on neck. As the Imp drops to the ground holding his neck she to the last dumbfounded imp. When imp sees her she moving toward him he panickedly stumbled backwards, flailing his ‘sword’ at her wildly. Easily dodging his messy swordsmanship, she grabs his hand breaking his wrist as she throws him over her shoulder knocking the wind out of him.
With a few quick kicks she neatly breaks the downed Imps necks, as she begins looting them. Taking the now black imp’s knife as it's the only passable Item among the filth encrusted Imps.
