Drinking the Ultra Divine Water Like Wine

"Thank you, Guardian of Earth," Vegeta said in gratitude.

"No need for thanks. As long as you don't cause trouble on Earth, everything is fine," the Guardian of Earth replied with a smile.

"Then, goodbye." Vegeta waved his hand and leaped off the Lookout.

Watching Vegeta's departing figure, the Guardian of Earth breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I hope he doesn't cause any trouble.

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta descended rapidly through the air and soon appeared above Korin Tower.

With his hands in his pockets, Vegeta headed straight into Korin Tower.

Korin watched Vegeta with a wary expression, unsure of what his intentions were.

Korin was also aware that Vegeta had just summoned Shenron.

"Korin, right?" Vegeta asked, looking at him.

"Y-yes... I am Korin. May I ask what you need?" Korin asked.

"I heard you have the Ultra Divine Water here, which can unlock a person's latent potential. Give it to me," Vegeta stated his purpose directly.

"Are you sure?" Korin asked, taken aback.

"Of course," Vegeta smiled.

"You want to unlock your latent potential?" Korin wiped sweat from his brow in silence.

You are already so powerful that you claim your combat power is over 10,000.

The strongest being on this planet, the Guardian, only has a combat power of a little over 200.

Just how strong do you want to get?

"That's right, of course I want to unlock my latent potential," Vegeta nodded.

"Fine, I can give you the Ultra Divine Water," Korin said, stepping forward to hook the vessel with his staff. He explained, "However, this substance is highly toxic. Whether you live or die after drinking it is uncertain. Many have tried the Ultra Divine Water, but unfortunately, they all perished."

"You can rest easy on that account, as I just used the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality. This little ailment won't kill me," Vegeta smiled.

Korin: "..."

Korin silently wiped his sweat and had no choice but to pour a cup of Ultra Divine Water for Vegeta.

So that old guy up in the sky... actually granted this kid such a wish.

Vegeta took the Ultra Divine Water, gathered his courage, and downed it in one gulp.

I am practically immortal.

It would be a miracle if the Ultra Divine Water could actually poison me to death.

As for the theory in certain Dragon Ball fan-fiction settings that Son Goku contracted his viral heart disease from drinking the Ultra Divine Water, Vegeta didn't care in the slightest.

I'm immortal...

What do I have to fear from a heart disease?

If I really do get a heart disease.

I'll just cut off everything below my head and regenerate it; that should solve the problem, right?

Could a newly regenerated body possibly have a heart disease too?

Even if it did.

Isn't there still Vados?

Angels are omnipotent.

Having Vados cure a viral heart disease would be far too simple for her.

Therefore, Vegeta had nothing to worry about.

After drinking the Ultra Divine Water, Vegeta clearly felt as if countless blades were dancing inside his throat.

Once these blades finished shredding his throat, they traveled down into his body.

The blades rampaged back and forth within him.

This sensation... it was absolutely agonizing.

Vegeta endured the immense pain in silence, refusing to let out a single cry of agony.

"Does it hurt?" Korin asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt..." Vegeta's face was drenched in cold sweat.

Korin: "..."

You call this not hurting?

You're so pained you're practically fainting.

"Hmph!"

Vegeta simply unleashed all the energy in his body, using his own power to resist the stimulation brought on by the pain.

Vegeta discovered that by using this method, the sensation of pain had indeed lessened significantly.

An hour later.

The pain in Vegeta's body had completely vanished.

Vegeta took a deep breath, silently sensing the changes within his body.

My energy...

I can feel my energy rising at a rapid pace.

Just how high has my combat power reached now?

Vegeta immediately took out his scouter, clipped it onto his ear, and pressed the button.

Combat power: 32,000!

That's right!

Vegeta's combat power had already reached the height of 32,000.

It had far surpassed the Vegeta from twenty years later in the original story.

One must know that the Vegeta in the original story only had a combat power of 18,000 when he arrived on Earth twenty years later.

After drinking one cup of Ultra Divine Water, his combat power had actually doubled to 32,000.

I wonder if I drink more... will it continue to grow?

"You really are remarkable, little one!" Korin exclaimed, "You are the first person to drink the Ultra Divine Water and not die, and I can clearly sense your energy rising crazily."

"Give me another cup; the last one didn't quite hit the spot," Vegeta said to Korin.

Korin: "..."

Korin was speechless.

"This... drinking more of this stuff probably won't have much of an effect... you'll only be putting yourself through unnecessary suffering," Korin advised.

"Stop nagging and hurry up," Vegeta urged.

"Fine, if you want to drink it... I've got plenty," Korin said with a bitter smile, having no choice but to pour Vegeta another cup of Ultra Divine Water.

Vegeta held the cup of Ultra Divine Water, just about to drink it.

"Am I just supposed to drink it straight?" Vegeta asked.

Korin: "????"

"Go, get me a plate of peanuts; I want to have them with my drink," Vegeta said.

Korin silently wiped away sweat.

Are you treating the Ultra Divine Water like liquor?

"What are you still standing there for? Get moving," Vegeta said, "Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy it properly."

Korin: "..."

Korin quickly prepared the peanuts.

A plate of deep-fried peanuts.

Vegeta took a sip of Ultra Divine Water, then a bite of peanuts.

He was drinking quite happily.

Korin was stunned.

Is that thing really the Ultra Divine Water?

How do you look like you aren't in any pain at all right now?

"Is it good?" Korin leaned in curiously.

"Why don't you have a cup yourself?" Vegeta smiled.

"Forget it, forget it... I wouldn't dare drink it; I might just drop dead after one sip," Korin shook his head vigorously.

The cup of Ultra Divine Water was quickly finished off by Vegeta.

Mm... drank it with peanuts.

The taste wasn't bad.

It just left his stomach feeling a bit scorched afterward.

Vegeta took a deep breath and quickly checked his combat power.

Holy crap!

It actually increased!

Vegeta's combat power had now risen to the height of 39,000.

Without even training, I can increase my combat power just by drinking Ultra Divine Water.

Vegeta was overjoyed and poured himself another cup of Ultra Divine Water.

"You... you're still drinking?" Korin was caught between laughter and tears.

Are you really treating the Ultra Divine Water like liquor?
