"Ah!!!"

The entire cavern was filled with Son Gohan's pained roars. He felt as if wounds were splitting open across his body every moment, only to have salt poured into them again and again.

The incomparably intense agony kept stabbing at Sun Chao's nerves, but he had no way to do anything at all. He could only grit his teeth and endure it in silence.

At that moment, Son Gohan felt as if the organs inside his body had been seized tightly by countless hands, twisted and hammered without stop, and all kinds of indescribable pain began to appear.

Unable to bear it, Sun Chao collapsed straight onto the ground, rolling left and right nonstop as he wailed aloud.

Not far away, the black head floating on the surface of the pool watched all this in silence, with no intention whatsoever of helping or harming him.

The unprecedented agony made Son Gohan lose even his sight for a time, and his vision instantly turned into complete darkness.

Then his hearing vanished as well, and under the stimulation of the terrible pain, his skin lost all sense of touch. In that moment, Sun Chao was plunged into absolute darkness.

Thump, thump. Thump, thump. Thump, thump.

At that moment, the only thing Son Gohan could feel in the darkness was the powerful beating of his own heart.

He even felt the blood surging out from his heart with each beat after losing his sight, hearing, and sense of touch.

Super God Water was a deadly poison, but that was for ordinary humans. Even an outstanding human like Master Roshi would not dare to test its toxicity.

After all, the fourteen powerful people who had once been able to reach this place had all died without even their bones remaining.

As a Saiyan, Son Gohan was only mixed-blood, but he still possessed S-cells and had a body and endurance far stronger than an ordinary person's.

That was right. Son Gohan's physical qualities had now completely surpassed those of Earthlings. At the very least, he would not be weaker than the young Son Goku who had drunk the Super God Water back then.

Roar!

Suddenly, Son Gohan opened his mouth and let out an incomparably violent roar that echoed through the entire cavern.

It was as if a prehistoric beast had unleashed a fierce bellow from deep within his body, spreading out in every direction.

Korin's brows and whiskers trembled when he heard that roar, and his feet immediately began to shake slightly.

But in the end, he had experienced Son Goku's scene back then, so something of this level was still not enough to shake his mind.

"Looks like the little guy has already drunk the Super God Water. He's exactly the same as his father back then. I hope he can successfully survive this crisis and become a hero capable of saving Earth."

Korin watched Son Gohan's movements and stroked his cat whiskers as he said, "I just wonder how much potential can be drawn out from inside this little guy's body."

In the end, Son Gohan was tortured by the intense pain until he lost consciousness.

No one knew how much time had passed before Gohan was startled awake by an icy sensation on his face. He abruptly opened his eyes and sat up.

Spreading out his hands, he found that he was still alive and had not been poisoned to death directly by the Super God Water.

Although before drinking this thing, Son Gohan had been quite confident that he could withstand the toxicity in the Super God Water, he ultimately could not guarantee his own life one hundred percent.

But from the looks of it now, this gamble with his life as the stake had been won by Sun Chao.

Closing his eyes, Son Gohan discovered that the ki he had only been able to sense vaguely before had now become much clearer.

The faster he could gain an advantage in the early stages, the smoother the road ahead would be, especially since this Super God Water was also connected to the Saiyans' path from here on.

In his previous life, someone had once studied this. The reason Son Goku, a low-class warrior among Saiyans, could possess potential surpassing the Vegeta royal family was very likely because the Super God Water had served as the beginning.

So the Super God Water was also something Son Gohan absolutely had to obtain in his plan!

Clenching his fist, Son Gohan felt that his physical qualities had undergone a tremendous improvement, whether in strength, speed, or other aspects.

Son Gohan knew this was the Super God Water beginning to draw out the potential within his body, so it was only natural that his strength could suddenly increase.

Rising to his feet, Son Gohan went to the cave wall. After stepping into a horse stance, he punched the cavern wall directly.

Bang~!

After a muffled sound, countless dense cracks began to appear across the surface of the stone wall. Then broken pieces of rock fell from the wall one after another onto the ground.

As a Saiyan with astonishing potential, and as Son Gohan, the mixed-blood Saiyan said to possess unmatched potential in the world of Dragon Ball, Sun Chao was not surprised by this increase in strength.

Withdrawing his fist, Son Gohan was very satisfied. He had already completed the first of his goals this time, so he could return to Karin Tower.

"Little guy."

Suddenly, the mysterious existence in the lake that had remained silent since earlier spoke. "Congratulations on successfully passing the Super God Water's trial. I wonder what you plan to do next?"

Son Gohan stopped in his tracks. He turned to look toward the center of the lake and said, "I only want to protect myself and the people I love. I have no interest in anything else."

After saying that, Son Gohan left the cavern directly, leaving the mysterious black-faced existence behind.

"Interesting. Looks like he really is that guy's descendant. I hope I haven't misjudged him."

Once the words fell, this mysterious black face also disappeared from the center of the lake, and the entire cavern returned once more to its previous dead silence.

With Korin receiving him, Gohan arrived inside Karin Tower.

"How do you feel?" Korin asked with a smile.

"Not bad. Although the feeling after drinking the Super God Water was truly unbearable, its effects were worthy of the suffering just now," Gohan replied with a nod.

"Then what do you want to do next?" Korin asked.

It seemed these high-level existences on Earth all very much wanted to know whether Son Gohan had any desire to do something like rule Earth.

If Son Goku ever changed his way of thinking and became an evil being, he would be something countless times more terrifying than Demon King Piccolo.

"Next, I'd like to learn martial arts from you, Immortal Karin," Sun Chao said.

As the true god of martial arts on Earth, Karin's level in the martial way was beyond even Master Roshi's reach.

At the same time, Sun Gohan also wanted to get used to the sudden increase in strength in his body.

After all, the Room of Spirit and Time had ten times gravity. Even Son Goku, after his battle with Raditz, had dropped straight to the ground the first time he experienced ten times gravity on King Kai's planet, then only gradually adapted with great difficulty.

Sun Gohan did not want to end up unable to move at all when the time came. If that happened, training would be completely meaningless.

Karin only hesitated for a few seconds before saying very generously, "No problem. I can teach you."

"Then thank you very much, Immortal Karin." Sun Gohan cupped his hands toward Karin in thanks.
