The thing is, the original concept with explosions had a lot of potential but you either hadn't considered it or didn't put the thoughts together. The trick about using these concepts is knowing how to string them together to make the user powerful. If we continued with the Hakkei concept, which is a projection of one's force in order to produce an explosive effect, then we have the following possibilities when mixing other concepts together:


 * The most basic is that Mukei could easily mimic (and even best) Bambietta's ability to generate explosions. The way it'd work is that he'd learn to minimize his spiritual energy so as to flick them at opponents like speedy bullets, and once reaching their target, they'd expand outwards rapidly, causing the explosion of force. In this sense, the principles of Hakkei and Douhaku are utilized. Mukei can even learn to project his force through the air by punching the air, flicking his fingers, even kicking, sending his force whipping through the air and by fine-tuning his skill with force projection from his limbs, can determine at what range the explosive force would take effect, without the need of using actual reiryoku. Mukei can punch and explode an opponent from a distance, without them even knowing, unless they pick up on the disruptions in the air. But considering the speed, only someone highly trained could figure it out before they're struck. This is a basic Hakkei application, an extremely dangerous offensive maneuver.


 * By condensing his spiritual energy using Seihaku, like an invisible shell around his body, with a mastery of Hakkei's concepts, he can create a field range in which all spiritual attacks would explode as soon as they reach this range. This means no matter how strong, no spiritual attack can reach Mukei once entering this field, since it'd be triggered to blow because his Hakkei force would be projecting inside of it once entering that "shell". Now, of course, the recoil could push Mukei back and possibly cause damage, but the trick is that Douhaku would release an equal level of explosive force from Mukei's body at the moment of impact, almost instinctively, to offset the explosion so as to prevent Mukei from receiving any damage. This is a Seihaku/Douhaku combination with a mastery of Hakkei, an incredibly useful defensive strategy.


 * Now, without involving either Seihaku nor Douhaku, let's combine Kidou with Hakkei. Mukei could project an explosive force with his spells, just as he does with his physical limbs. Sho alone becomes a bomb carrier. The spell shoots outwards and carries with it the intent to explode outwards violently, which can be transformed into multiple different gun-related spells, which could be fun to make. By entrapping explosive waves into a Kidou sphere, like Sokatsui or Shakkaho, which could (with some physics freedom, that is) drastically enhance the temperature to unbelievably boiling heat, allows Mukei to fire intense flame spells that can overwhelm individuals. Worthy of a Dragon, no?


 * Here's a simple one. Explosive force in the legs. Dangerous, yes, but not if trained properly. Hakkei projected through the steps via Shunpo can also for drastically enhanced speed while creating dust clouds to hide his movements and hinder opponents. But, this depends on just how much force Mukei projects through his legs. This is a method of enhancing speed.

So, you see, I just created four maneuvers that would make Mukei probably three times stronger than he is currently or how he was not even a week ago with the way you were writing up Hakkei. Are there flaws? Yes. These don't make Mukei invincible, there's always ways around them. But these four alone theoretically enhance Mukei drastically further than before. Now reconsider if all you want is simply Seihaku and Douhaku. It isn't enough to take one concept and try to make it different a hundred times. Martial arts doesn't work that way. You need to use various principles and apply them properly to appropriate situations.
