Super God Water

"Since Master Karin has allowed it, Gohan, you stay here. I'm going to visit some old friends."

When Son Goku heard that Karin was willing to guide Gohan, he displayed the defining trait of a hopelessly straightforward man and left his own son here all by himself.

"It's fine. Go on," Karin said calmly.

Soon, Son Goku left on the Flying Nimbus. Now only Son Gohan, the Cat Hermit, and Yajirobe—who was already lying off to the side with his eyes closed, sleeping—remained.

"Little fellow, just who are you?" Karin asked, once again saying something shocking.

"Master Karin, I..."

Son Gohan had just been about to say something when Karin cut him off directly. "If you think that lie just now, fake beyond belief, could fool me, then you really underestimate me far too much."

"It isn't impossible for a three-year-old child to be very mature, but it's impossible for you to have what's in those eyes of yours. That is something settled through survival. It's not something someone your age could possess."

"You may be able to fool the simple-minded Goku, but don't even think about fooling me."

Hearing this, Son Gohan took back what he had been about to say, because he knew Karin had definitely already seen through him.

Seeing Gohan fall silent, Karin took two steps forward, looked at Gohan, who was about the same height as him, and questioned him. "Speak. Just who are you, and what do you want to do?"

After taking a deep breath, Son Gohan said, "I am Son Gohan from the future world, Master Karin."

Hearing this, Karin's eyes, which had almost always looked as if they were closed, suddenly opened.

"In the near future, evil aliens will descend upon Earth and carry out inhuman slaughter against humanity."

"The emperor of the universe, Frieza, will also turn his gaze toward our planet, and this planet is also hiding even more terrifying artificial life-forms. All of them are extremely dreadful calamities."

"The only ones capable of resolving these calamities are my father, Son Goku, and the future me."

"I came to find you now so that I can improve my strength as soon as possible and make more sufficient preparations to face those crises that are about to arrive." Gohan spoke to Karin slowly, his tone unhurried yet extremely grave.

Karin could see the lingering worry contained in Son Gohan's eyes, but there was a trace of confidence on his face?

"How can I know whether what you're saying is true or false?" Karin questioned him.

"The truth will be verified very soon," Gohan replied calmly.

After a moment of silence, Karin finally said, "In that case, can you tell me what your current plans are?"

"I want to drink the Super God Water here, and after I receive your martial arts guidance, I'll go meet Kami above." There was no need to hide it, so Son Gohan stated his plans.

"The Super God Water? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Karin's whisker-like brows trembled a few times.

Son Gohan naturally knew that among the fifteen people who had drunk the Super God Water, only Son Goku had survived.

But he was not afraid. The black shadow in that pool was very likely something arranged by Kami; it was nothing more than one arrangement after another.

"I'm not afraid. If I can't increase my strength as soon as possible, then in front of those evil beings, I'll be dead all the same," Son Gohan said calmly.

Hearing the meaning in the other party's tone, Karin sighed, then pointed at a water jar behind him and said, "That is the ice-cavern passage leading to the Super God Water. You can go try."

"Thank you, Master Karin." Gohan thanked Karin sincerely.

"Go. If what you said is true, then you and Goku need to become stronger as soon as possible. The faster, the better," Karin said helplessly.

Son Gohan nodded. Without wasting words, he went straight to the side of the water jar and leaped down, without the slightest hesitation.

His decisiveness made even Karin, who had come to the edge of the water jar, secretly admire him. He said to Son Gohan, who had already entered the ice cavern below, "Little fellow, remember to come here and call me after you obtain the Super God Water. I'll bring you back."

"Okay!"

After Son Gohan replied, he turned and resolutely walked forward.

Familiar with the plot, he quickly experienced all kinds of twists and turns. He did not deliberately tangle with that giant ice man, but instead advanced along the route in his memory.

But no matter how Son Gohan searched, he could not find the path into that black pool.

Narrowing his eyes, Gohan turned to look at the ice man that had caught up again. With a low roar, he leaped up and charged straight at the ice man.

At this time, Son Gohan had actually already sensed the ki inside his body. Though it was not obvious, he had truly sensed it.

Since he had no way to control his ki, he naturally had no way to use any energy attacks, so he could not blast the ice man with a Kamehameha like Son Goku had in the original work.

However, Gohan began fighting the ice man at close range, because he had already deduced that if he did not fight this ice man, it would be impossible to obtain the Super God Water.

Relying on the advantage of his smaller body, Gohan punched the ice man again and again, but he could only leave a few cracked marks.

Yet these marks soon returned to normal under the cover of frost, leaving him completely unable to inflict effective damage on the ice man.

Still, Son Gohan continued fighting without stopping, even if he suffered some injuries in the process.

Because this battle was entirely being performed for the watcher behind the scenes.

After some time, Sun Chao felt that his battle with the ice man was already enough to prove his resolve. So, pretending to be careless, he was knocked back by the ice man, then immediately turned and ran.

This ice man possessed the ability to constantly repair itself. With Son Gohan's current strength, it was impossible for him to defeat the other party, so there was nothing wrong with retreating.

And it was just as he was retreating that he accidentally discovered a cave that had not been there before. After thinking for two seconds, he entered it directly.

After advancing several dozen meters, Son Gohan suddenly discovered that he had already appeared inside a dark cave.

Just then, the surface of the pitch-black pool in the center of the cave suddenly began to churn. Then, an enormous black head suddenly emerged from the water.

"What have you come here for?"

Gohan was not frightened, but answered, "For the Super God Water!"

The black head said in a low, sinister voice, "The Super God Water is right in front of you."

Gohan looked closely, and sure enough, just like in the original, a wooden table had appeared before him. On it sat a teapot with the character "god" pasted on it, and a teacup.

Without hesitation or wasted words, Gohan poured the Super God Water straight into the cup, then grabbed it and was about to drink.

"You... aren't afraid of dying?"

Perhaps because Sun Chao had not asked a single thing about the Super God Water, the entire mysterious being felt as if something was a little off.

"If I were afraid of dying, I wouldn't have come here."

Son Gohan was too lazy to waste words with this guy. He raised the cup to his lips and began pouring it into his mouth.

It tasted a lot like the bitter Chinese medicine from his previous life. After forcing it down with difficulty, he set the cup back on the table.

The next moment, an incomparably intense pain suddenly appeared, spreading through Son Gohan's entire body without the slightest warning!
