I'm a little confused here. What exactly is the difference between Aura as is, it basically being a personal body shield and an In-universe HP bar, and Aura being formed into a barrier like Ren and the Taijitu? Wouldn't the aura protect Ren whether he formed the barrier or not? Or does concentrating it simply reduce the concussive force of the attack, preventing him from being knocked out. Plus there was the part where Ren was doing all those backflip, jumped into the air, and was rammed square in the stomach by the Taijitu, and no barrier was formed, but he wasn't any worse for wear. He did cross his arms in a block, but the barrier wasn't formed and he still got rammed in the stomach rather than his arms.
