Setting the foundation

Rick Sánchez and Artem were in a ramshackle office after presenting Rick to his family.

They lived in an old but more or less spacious house.

During the meal it was mentioned how they ended up like this.

Logically, a man who won everything by force and could only fight, losing his physical condition left him only one escape. And that was living in the mundane.

Artem mentioned that he mainly mastered 4 animal style martial arts.

The first was that of the monkey, the second that of the tiger, the third was one taught from street artists when using insects as an object of study, one was the mantis and the fourth martial art was that of the cockroach.

I originally thought that they were all like the kunfu from my past life,

But when asking for a description of these, only the first two were relatively normal, or rather in line with my expectations, they were simply tastings to give muscle memory to the body. Along with some techniques to harness the power.

The following were what surprised me the most.

The one about the mantis contained information about vital points in the body, ways to detect weaknesses, and precision hitting techniques with a set of grappling techniques.

And the last one, was a technique to strengthen the digestive system along with the most efficient way to escape according to him and another to use the back to protect himself from all attacks.

Basically some techniques were put together to imitate the behavior of a cockroach.

I would say that it was a bad imitation but the techniques that will be taught are not false which means that even if it is an imitation, it can be considered a martial art.

I would say there are two types of martial arts.

In my previous life there is the one that improves what you already have and the one that gives you the option to learn from what you don't have.

Now that I think about it, animal martial arts are considered an art in which you observe the positive characteristics of animals and try to imitate them to achieve the same effect. Well, although most people know that. It just takes a little thinking to figure it out.

In any case, this is how it would be in the last life, here in the world of Dragon Ball it is different, some people are born with a developed sense of smell, cat ears, a tail.

And there is also ki.

With which it would help achieve previously impossible things.

I have a ton of ideas of what I can do and I still can't do .

The greatest limit of a martial artist in this world is his mind.

And I have inspiration from the entire human race. In the limitles infinity.

Thanks to the fact that I was honest with Artem, he let me stay at his house. So by assigning me a place to sleep he gave me time to think about many things.

To begin with, he already chose me as a disciple but he still set a condition for me when I finish my studies with him.

Finish Muten Roshi

Noooo, just kidding. But he asked me to defeat him in combat, something he had planned from the beginning.

There is also the system thing.

I found that any progress I made in something gave me points, no matter how small it may be, even for motivating me to improve and do things. I got 20 points so far, but checking the only function recognized at the beginning, which is a search engine, I first searched for various topics, such as the periodic table of chemistry, which cost 5 points.

An advanced science book would cost 30.(for a common planet, nothing about things like chinese alchemy) 

Another would be the cockroach martial art, where I was given thousands to choose from with the same type of name. And the one they described to me recently would be worth 15 with the discount already applied in our case.( 2 points)

Advanced drawing skills that cost 50.

Based on this thought.

I looked for a guide to use this system. And one even appeared, but it didn't give me any more options.

It cost 5 points so I bought it.

That feeling was incredible, with the information stuck in my head, it became an instinct.

Every time I thought lightly about the system, this information came to mind and I knew what or how to use everything.

Apparently, from the collection of points, these will be saved in a section to verify how much you have, in the search engine, you will have different options when you write, you can use a topic as a reference and the available options will appear, when searching by a name you will only find information of that one in particular, along with other copies from other universes, etc.

When you buy, your experience points will be reduced and this information will become instinct.

I was also given information about the restrictions of the system, it would be that as long as you do not know something, this information will be encrypted and will cost three times what unencrypted information costs and since it is encrypted, buying it would be like gambling.

However I found a solution.

Buy information in a section that lists planets or universes by choosing the ciphers, but of course I already checked and this option is too expensive, because to buy the information of a low-level planet it already had the cost of 10,000 experience.

Once I had reviewed the previous topics in my head, I bought a method to remember things efficiently for 5 points and went to bed.

From the next day, the training began.

Now according to the method to remember, it was easy to start following instructions, I spent the first 4 months following Artem's way of training based on trial and error, I had the information in my head but my sense of balance and muscle memory were not trained so I started with that and a little training to improve reflexes by throwing pebbles at myself, followed by katas along with a little shadow boxing.

By the end of the fourth month I managed to master both martial arts. With what the sound of the system rang in a long time.

For things like improving your cooking skills there isn't even a beep and with the fact that it's now beeping, that would mean that

I finally managed to master something 100%."

When looking at the system I noticed a warning,

-achievement obtained: first mastery over fighting- +50 experience.

-achievement obtained: first step to success (the door to martial arts was opened and you entered) +100 experience.

-total experience: 244.

"Finally!" Rick exclaimed exhausted after having been practicing shadow boxing.

In reality Rick had no idea when to know that he had mastered something, so he just knew that he couldn't stop if he wanted to achieve mastery trouth the progress.

As he walked home through the forest, leaving a cliff with broken trees behind him, he grabbed the edge of her open white sleeveless T-shirt and tore off a strip to put it on her forehead as a band.

He did it instinctively as he was burning inside, as he took a few steps he couldn't help but scream into the wind and cry,

because he lost his only article of clothing for training.
