    Tento Seiin Ken ( Heaven Dipper Sacred Yin Fist) is a martial art appearing in Souten no Ken: Re:Genesis. It is the ancient martial art of the Nahash tribe. It has influences from the Seito Gekken style from when the Nahash met the Yuezhi millennia ago. It's shown to be a vampiric style that sucks away the tōki of its opponents. In the manga it is stated that the original Teito bloodline are called the Dragonians (創天龍人(ドラゴニアン)) and carry a gene called the Dragon God Factor (龍神因子) that allows them to emit light called ruach (רוּחַ).

    The four pillars of the style are stealing ((うば)()る), accumulating (()め), rebinding ((くく)(なお)す), and unbinding ((ほど)く).

    This style is used by Van der Kool in the manga, and Simeon Nagid, Himuka, and Shomer in the anime, although Van der Kool is not of the bloodline.

    Trivia

    The traits of emitting light and burning the user's target, as well as the connection of the Nahash to the Tentei (through Erika), make Tento Seiin Ken thematically similar to Gento Koken.
