After a full year of slowly dedicating himself body, mind and soul to moving while training in the Equilibrium of Six technique, he had done it. While he was moving his body at a snails pace he was without a doubt moving his body while flowing energy through and into it. His energy in a constant state of purification and cleansing as he slowly moved. Small amounts of energy being slowly absorbed by his technique.

Though Haru had ran into another problem. He had no Senzu Beans left. While he could still absorb the unique energy that was in all the trash from the Gacha, and absorb the violent mana that existed within the nothingness that was the Dimensional Gap. Haru was getting extremely thirsty and hungry. He had been like that for at least a month. He knew he didn't need to eat or drink, but it was undoubtedly a painful sensation to suffer from.

Though he wasn't without water. In fact he had a massive tank of it from a trash grade draw. The tank was much bigger than him. But all the water in the tank had dirt, rust and other contaminants. He was just happy he had more water to give his tree though. After the year it was a thick stick pointed out of the ground. He was thrilled it was actually growing. That he would soon get food. Actual apples. However, thought plagued his mind on how the fruits may all be devil fruits. That maybe he wasn't going to actually get any decent food. But Haru tried to quickly swat those thoughts away. Right now he was doing something he considered really dangerous.

Haru was trying to merge the two techniques. Equilibrium of Six and Magic Warrior King Arts. While the Equilibrium of Six was a cultivation technique that was supposed to be practiced sitting still, the Magic Warrior King Arts was a technique that was supposed to be used while moving, moving your body in the natural mana of your surroundings while you absorb it. Haru didn't realise but what he had done was amazing so far. Just to be able to move while performing Equilibrium of Six had already surpassed its initial use. Cultivating internally while moving would have been impossible under any normal methods in the world where Equilibrium of Six came from. It would have destroyed his insides. But Haru believed otherwise.

Haru believed that because Equilibrium of Six was one tenth as effective in internal cultivation as other standards in the world it came from. The lessened strain on his body would allow him so move and slowly adapt to his moving body. This may also have been attributed to his Quasi Dragon God body. While it remained human in power and had a lot less mana than any dragon. Its ability to be in tune with mana wasn't impaired making this all the more possible.

Haru was now preforming a slowly flowing dance. It looked like Ti-Chi. But all its moves were fundamentally different. There were slow muscle tenses in movement. Flexing muscles to replicate the feeling of moving at full speed. As if performing the technique at full strength and speed while moving no faster than a turtle.

A movement of stepping his right leg forward squatting slightly with his body facing forward and punching his left fist outward in an explosion of energy. Bladed Fist. Ussaly an explosive punch that would tear apart the air with both physical and magical pressure, shredding any foe around him. In his slow speed with a small amount of energy, his dantian the size of a large soft ball now fully formed, turned into a gentle and delicate movement.

The gentle twisting of Harus arms in front of him as his body relaxed in a latching and twist of energy. The Bull Sweep. Normally the redirecting of force from an opponent to throw them off balance with their own power. Turned into a gentle exchange and movement in between poses.

The cross of these arms across his body as his body tensed all its muscles. His energy permeating through his skin. Boulder Shield. A supposed to be hard and immovable stance to receive the strongest of attacks. His energy moving to act like a shield, an aura solidifying over his body. Turned into a still and peaceful stance. Even when his muscles tensed his mind was relaxed.

The few steps forward as his energy moved to the soles of his feet. The Clown Step. A soundless and swift movement technique that would have broke through the air to move at high speeds but not even left a foot print on the floor. Turned into a gentle gliding across the fine dirt beneath Harus feet.

The stare of the eyes and the explosion of energy turning into a roaring fire of pure energy. Spirit Explosion. Becoming a gentle look of peace and a small flickering flame of energy from Harus body.

A kick to the sky with an explosion of upwards energy. Meant to split the sky and anything in the way. Crane Kick. But when Haru performed it... he fell flat on his face as all cultivation, tempering and physical strengthening of the body stopped.

Haru: Ow.

Haru tuned over as he looked up at the coloured sky. His body was getting better. Even though it was small showing, he was getting more muscle on his body. No longer the skinny person he first appeared in this Dimensional Gap.

Haru: Though I need to work hard. I couldn't even lift my leg half way up. I need to start training my balance and flexibility. Though, it's great I managed to start proper training.

Haru looked to his left and right. While Magic Warrior King Arts naturally trained his body it was also cultivating more energy. However, unlike Equilibrium of Six the power was raging but it was more controlled. It had to be if you were going to internally cultivate while moving. And the evidence than it was more efficient in internal cultivation compared to Equilibrium of Six was obvious. The trash he had placed around him like always completely turned to dust in a matter of ten minutes instead of the hours it would take just with the Equilibrium of Six technique.

Haru: Though I should draw again today.

Haru had the slot machine appear as he slowly got up. Doing his regular daily draw as he pulled down the red lever. Watching the 5 slots spin as he waited for them to stop. Slowly stopping on slots he was really happy about.

[Trash Grade- Hockey Puck.]
[Trash Grade- Wooden Coffin.]
[F Grade- 5x Jumble Mumble Golem.]
[Trash Grade- Snowdrop seeds.]
[C Grade- Power: Spacial Platform.]

Haru looked at the F grade with confusion. Pressing on it as 5 golems as tall as him appeared. They looked stumpy with short legs and arms. Large bodies and a head that was made up of a glowing red eye. Their entire bodies made of new trash.

Haru was then surprised. Surprised a piece of information entered his head for an item. "Inject them with mana."

Haru walked over to one of them as he injected some energy into it. The golem took a lot of his energy as it began to shake.

Haru: {Oh this is something that will do what I say! Hmmmm. But I don't have a lot of need for golems like these. I guess I could use it as a training dummy. The Magic Warrior King Arts helps me temper my body.}

Haru then pressed on his highest so far draw. A power. He felt his body and energy burn. Power in the soles of his feet.

[Spacial Platform (C) - You can step on space as if it was a platform. You require no air, no surface, no concept of space. You create the concept of space underneath your feet.]

Haru looked at the screen in absolute silence and shock written on his face. Then finally the silence was broke with one sentence

Haru: THATS A C GRADE SKILL?!
