Keeping promises

'Unfortunately we separated when concluding an alliance.

All the emotion put into the objectives described that day were watered down with a dose of reality.

They weren't going to believe in someone they had just met, plus he was generally tied with Rockero in terms of fighting power.

And he has his reasons: he is a master in 6 or more martial arts and I only master 2. Add to that his experience and I would be ahead if it weren't for the shigan that makes me just as lethal.

In any case, our alliance will be concluded when I can prove the truth of my words by facing Roshi in the tenth and penultimate tournament of his, I am not sure if he will continue competing in number 18 for Goku and Krilling sake.

At the end of the deal, I will have a tour in the world making me a martial arts star and I make Rocker my right hand man, most of our fortune would end up in the hands of Dr Brief who in exchange would make equipment for us.

Ah! To conclude our deal, there will be a small competition between us in the tenth tournament, he will follow Dr Brief's training and I will follow mine.

When I can prove that the six forms technique exists, they'll only be able to believe me.

That our duel and agreement has been postponed so much is also because I need time to master the six forms along with what Artem taught me.

Now I regret the name I gave that technique the other day, I'll just change it to the six forms when I see them again, no, better six doors because it symbolizes the door to the bottomless path of martial arts, damn now it sounds like I'm obsessed with it, fuck it I'll decide when I see them again.

Days passed, I followed Artem's training in the style of the mantis and the cockroach.

I also asked about the map and so on but in the end it was a false alarm, who knows? Maybe it was a map of the dragon balls. Although it was actually a vacation plan haha.

Now it taked me 2 months to master the mantis style, it taked less than last time because my body was already trained according to the previous martial arts.

The cockroach style was a big challenge.

This required tremendous flexibility, an abdomen harder than stones, an extra strong back and arms with explosive power, and legs that not even a cyclist has. Basically his attacks consisted of cushioning any blow with his back in order to use a tackle, dash or dodge directly while on the ground.

His other technique was more difficult, describing as healthy or harmful the foods that are presented to you without being able to see or touch the food,

along with also teaching how great the benefit or harm to health would be.

And finally, a small self-hypnosis technique, in which the brain is forced to be honest with what its body asks for, in order to feed itself only with what is necessary and thus know what it needs most for different functions such as adrenaline, muscle growth etc.

From there, I dedicated myself to exercising my body to the limits available and using different methods to strengthen the human body with the points earned over the months.

With which he bought limb hardening techniques and breathing techniques for use in diving along with a professional set of how to dive and what to pay attention to.

His routine consisted of training his endurance, strength and agility from morning to afternoon and underwater training from afternoon to evening.

And you might wonder how this helps physically?

Well, for many people, just moving around is training and the more submerged you are, the more difficult the training will be, although what you train most at the beginning is getting used to different atmospheric pressures and the deprivation of senses, such as sight and smell.

I also got to meditate at the bottom of the sea.

All of this was carried out with due protection, such as taking a rope with him that he now used with Artem's wife help for emergency purposes.

Honestly, in a year I already felt ready to practice the six forms but I still extended the practice for another three months due to insecurity.

From the scrawny child of a year and a half ago,

He had become...

Well actually, although this look didn't fit me right, to describe myself now I could only do it with three words; Tall, muscular and plump.

Now I am like a tall rectangle that in turn seems inflated like a balloon.

Luckily I'm still flexible, otherwise I'd think all the work was in vain.

Now there are three months until the tournament and if I want to appear as the background character, I'm ready.

But of course, I want to be the main character, so I started trying the different six forms, since there were no torn muscles or anything too bloody I just had to practice by trial, error and repetition.

In reality it was achieved quite quickly, my body and mind will always be up to date and when buying the information, it will become an instinct, so I just had to follow it.

I said it, like it was easy, but capturing that feeling and being able to apply it perfectly is a difficult task, it is as if you know what it feels like to stick a thin sword down your throat for a magic trick and do it as you learned.

Through sheer force of will, I learned the six forms in basic form, unfortunately time ran out.

He could not put it together with his previous knowledge of martial arts nor did he practice the return of life.'
