Hokuto Ryūken is another rival style of [[Hokuto Shinken|Hokuto Shin Ken]] introduced during the latter half of the manga. Hokuto Ryūken is a branch of the original Hokuto family that was formed alongside [[Hokuto Shinken|Hokuto Shin Ken]] in the [[Land of Asura]]. The Hokuto Ryūken style utilizes 1,109 points of the [[Keiraku Hakō]] (経絡破孔, lit. "''Destructive [[wikipedia:Meridian (Chinese medicine)|Channeling]] Points''"), in contrast to the 708 [[Keiraku Hikō]] points of the ''Shin Ken'' style. | Hokuto Ryūken is another rival style of [[Hokuto Shinken|Hokuto Shin Ken]] introduced during the latter half of the manga.

The exact differences between the Ryūken style's hakō points and the Shin Ken style's hikō points are never fully explained. The users of ''Hokuto Ryūken'' are taught to fight with their {{nihongo|"demonic fighting spirit"|魔闘気|matōki}}, driving them insane with madness. In the TV series, it is revealed that Hokuto Ryūken was founded by [[Ryūō]] of the [[Hokuto Sōke]] bloodline, the ancestor of [[Kaioh]], [[Raoh]] and [[Toki]]. Hokuto Ryūken is also featured in ''[[Souten no Ken]]'', where it is revealed that it was once known as Hokuto Ryūka Ken, one of the three subordinate branches of [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] ([[Hokuto Sanka Ken]]). It is revealed that if the conflict for succession claims all the heirs to [[Hokuto Shin Ken]], a successor is chosen from the school of Hokuto Ryūka Ken. Because of this, the master of Hokuto Ryūka Ken must approve all successors to [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] and the battle between the two schools must take place in front of the Holy Mother Statue (聖母像, Seibōzō) at the fictionalized Tài Shèng Yuàn (泰聖院 Taiseiin) Temple in [[wikipedia:Ningbo|Ningbo]] (the Hokuto Ryūka Ken ancestors are also buried at its cemetery).
