Triggering Achievement Mission

Although his combat power was higher than his opponent's, the gap was not significant enough that it couldn't be bridged by technique.

Li Shu did not let his guard down. He first offered a polite bow, then settled into a fighting stance and said in a deep voice, "Please, enlighten me."

Seeing that his opponent was so polite and well-mannered, Bora's hostility diminished significantly. He returned the bow and said, "I will hold back."

Once both were ready, Li Shu launched the first attack, rushing toward Bora like an arrow released from a bowstring.

"Such speed!" Bora's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly sidestepped, pushed off the ground with both feet, and narrowly dodged Li Shu's fist.

During his five years on Mount Paozu, Li Shu had frequently sparred with Wukong and was no longer a novice in combat.

Li Shu had already anticipated Bora's reaction and followed up immediately with a spinning side kick.

Clearly, Bora's combat skills were not superior to Li Shu's. With no way to parry, he was sent flying by Li Shu's whip kick.

Defeated in just two moves, Bora felt a wave of shame wash over him, especially when he recalled his earlier remark about holding back.

"I concede," Li Shu said with a cupped-hand salute, feeling a bit disappointed; the fight hadn't been satisfying at all.

He suddenly craved a strong opponent to have a proper, intense battle. Li Shu knew his Saiyan warrior genes were acting up again, and he felt helpless about it.

Bora accepted his defeat gracefully and was impressed by Li Shu's demeanor. "You are an excellent martial artist. I am embarrassed by my performance."

"Uncle, you are quite strong too; it's just that you're getting on in years," Li Shu said with a smile.

"Is that so? Hahaha!" Bora laughed heartily and said, "Our ancestors have guarded this place for generations, yet only one person has ever successfully climbed to the top of the tower."

Li Shu knew who that person was—that old pervert, Master Roshi.

Afterward, Bora told Li Shu the legend of the Super Holy Water.

Li Shu was unimpressed, but he knew he had to play along. He intentionally put on a look of shock, which pleased Bora greatly.

Bora decided to invite Li Shu to his home for a meal: "No one knows how tall Korin Tower is, but it is certainly an exhausting endeavor. If you get hungry, come to my house for a meal."

Li Shu had no reason to refuse a free meal, so he agreed immediately.

Under the watchful eyes of Bora and his son, Li Shu suddenly took off into the air, soaring into the clouds with a whoosh. The father and son were left absolutely terrified and stunned.

"Flight Technique?" Korin had been keeping an eye on the situation at the base of the tower, and seeing this, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.

In this way, Korin Tower no longer held any significance for Li Shu's training.

Within just a few minutes, Li Shu successfully reached the top of the tower.

Side quest check-in: Check-in at the top of Korin Tower completed. Reward obtained: [Beginner Senzu Bean Can].

Achievement unlocked: 'First System Item Obtained'. Congratulations, you have received [Dimensional Storage Space], Achievement Points +1.

Hearing the two consecutive system prompts, a hint of surprise appeared on Li Shu's face. He hadn't expected an unexpected bonus on top of the [Beginner Senzu Bean Can].

Li Shu focused his mind and sensed the existence of the [Dimensional Storage Space]. It wasn't very large, likely only about one cubic meter.

A brownish-earth-colored kimchi jar sat quietly inside.

Just then, Korin appeared. His eyes were always squinted into slits, hiding his pupils, but as everyone knows about cats, even squinty eyes are incredibly cute.

He said seriously, "Li Shu, I didn't expect you to have mastered the Flight Technique. Who taught you?"

"What Flight Technique? Does this need to be taught?" Li Shu feigned confusion as he looked at Korin.

Self-taught? The young man before him left Korin feeling amazed. Being the descendant of an old acquaintance, he was a promising talent worth cultivating.

It was a pity he had flown up, missing out on the physical training.

Thinking of this, Korin tempted him: "Have you heard of the Super Holy Water?"

At that moment, the system's voice rang out in Li Shu's mind again.

Achievement task triggered: [The Taste of Super Holy Water]. Obtain the Super Holy Water from Korin and taste it to receive a chance at a Dojutsu-type lottery.

Dojutsu?

Li Shu's imagination ran wild. In his mind, he pictured himself years later, transforming into a Super Saiyan and using the Mangekyo Sharingan to battle Frieza. Just thinking about it was exhilarating.

However, there was also a chance he could draw the Byakugan, a needle-eye, or even being cross-eyed. Everyone knows how these lotteries go.

If this was a troll system and he ended up cross-eyed, he wouldn't even need to fight enemies in the future—he could just make them laugh themselves to death, winning without a fight.

"Do you find the Super Holy Water laughable?" Korin asked, looking at the young man who was suddenly giggling to himself, feeling a bit annoyed.

Li Shu snapped back to reality and hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I just suddenly thought of something happy."

"What happy thing?"

"My wife is giving birth." Brainwashed by the short-video trends of his past life, Li Shu blurted it out instinctively. He regretted it the moment he said it; whether in his past life or this one, he didn't have a wife—he had no wife at all! He suddenly felt a bit sad.

"You are already married?" Korin was very surprised, feeling a tiny bit envious. He had lived for 800 years and never had a wife.

"No, no, I just suddenly imagined the scene of my future wife giving birth," Li Shu explained, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"So, have you heard of the Super Holy Water?" Korin didn't want to continue that topic.

Li Shu nodded repeatedly and repeated what Bora had said at the base of the tower.

Korin nodded in satisfaction, then took out an exquisite water jug and said, "This is the Super Holy Water."

Fake. That's clearly just tap water inside. You can't fool me.

Li Shu kept his true thoughts to himself, giving Korin plenty of face by feigning an expression of wild joy: "Are you willing to give it to me?"

"Of course. As long as you can take it, it's yours." A smirk curled the corners of Korin's mouth.

"Very well, then pardon my offense." A plan formed in Li Shu's mind—the 'Wait-by-the-Cat' strategy was officially underway!

He first pretended to lunge for it a few times, only to be toyed with by Korin. Once he had satisfied the cat's peculiar hobby, Li Shu intentionally fell for a trap and leaped off Korin Tower.

"You aren't allowed to use the Flight Technique while trying to snatch the Sacred Water, you know," Korin shouted triumphantly.

"Understood! I will definitely get it."

Li Shu slid down the pillar to the base of the tower. Instead of heading back up immediately, he went to Bora's place to enjoy a hearty meal.

"That was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Bora."

At that moment, Korin stood before a large water jar, the surface of which was currently reflecting the scene of Li Shu.

"Not a bad little guy. Calm and collected, knowing he needs to fill his stomach first."

However, the scene that unfolded next left a trace of confusion on Korin's face.
