Allow me to introduce to you Chibending. Unlike the others, this bending will serve as the base for all bending and as a weaker form of Energybending.
Quote:
Chibending - The bending of one's inner energy that allows the bender to create physical augmentation and spiritual protection. From running faster to lifting half a ton, from chi blocking to chi healing, Chibending is a weaker yet more refined variant of Energybending. Due to Energybending's danger, a substitute was researched yet never finish. An unknown master wrote his findings and teachings into one of the first known scrolls in history. Overtime, more information was discovered on the principles of chi and how to manipulate it. These teachings were all later compiled into a book known as "Zhi Gundong (The Chi Scroll)".
There is a downfall to Chibending. To truly master chibending, the practitioner must sacrifice their original bending and be trained to open their 7 chakras. This means that they may never return to their original bending type completely. They will forever have a weighted limb when attempting elemental bending.
Once mastered, the Chibender gains the title of "Chi Master".

-First Practitioners-
1. Ryuko "Zero" Typhoon: Master-level Firebender but sacrificed his original bending after discovering the Zhi Gundong, training in its ways alone. Never mastered.
2. Lu "Xian" Shang: Born an imperfect bender and trained by Ryuko Typhoon before his death. He mastered it and became the first True Rooting Chi Master.
3. Fierce: Used it to discover his latent talents, but found it inadequate compared to complete mastery of one element.
