Unlike an ordinary Earthling's body.
Tien Shinhan, who had broken his Human Limiter, had endless potential within him.
The first portion of potential to be unleashed was the trained potential he had accumulated during his battle with King Piccolo and these three months of training.
Once all this already partially trained potential had been unleashed, Tien Shinhan smoothly awoke from his unconscious state.
Opening his eyes and sensing his current physical condition, Tien Shinhan felt power several times greater than before he lost consciousness surging throughout his body.
If Tien Shinhan's power level before losing consciousness had been around 1,100, then at this moment, it should have broken through to 3,000!
His power level had almost tripled outright. Was this the effect of drinking two and a half cups of Ultra Divine Water in one go?
Not only that, apart from the potential directly unleashed, Tien Shinhan could feel the Ultra Divine Water's medicinal effects continuing to work inside him.
This medicinal effect, which continuously unleashed his potential, multiplied the effectiveness of the automatic power level growth he had gained after breaking his limiter.
Even without training, the rate at which his power level automatically grew at every moment had doubled.
And despite this effect, Tien Shinhan could still sense that the medicinal effects of the Ultra Divine Water he had drunk seemingly had not been fully activated.
If he could fully activate and absorb those medicinal effects, then the automatic power level growth of his Limit Breakthrough should grow considerably stronger!
"Huh? Did I pass out and wake up again?"
Just as Tien Shinhan was considering how to fully activate the Ultra Divine Water's medicinal effects inside him as quickly as possible, Goku's surprised voice came from beside him.
Clearly, Kid Goku had also successfully overcome the Ultra Divine Water's trial and finished unleashing his potential.
Unlike Tien Shinhan, however, his Saiyan constitution had also taken effect.
Thanks to his trait of growing stronger after recovering from near death, Goku, who had drunk two cups of Ultra Divine Water, had gained an even greater increase in power level than Tien Shinhan had this time.
Before challenging the Ultra Divine Water, Goku's power level had been around 500.
Now, after that trial and recovery, Tien Shinhan could sense that the Ki within Goku was not much weaker than his own.
His own current power level was 3,000, so Kid Goku might already have reached 2,500.
The Ultra Divine Water's potential-unleashing effect, combined with his Saiyan constitution, had actually increased Goku's power level to five times what it had been!
That result was considerably better than Tien Shinhan's mere threefold increase.
If Tien Shinhan had still been his former self, he might once again have faced the predicament of being surpassed by Goku and then left farther and farther behind.
But the current Tien Shinhan was not worried about that.
Having broken his limiter, his potential was endless.
Although his power level had not increased as much as Kid Goku's during this period of unconsciousness, didn't he still have residual Ultra Divine Water inside him that had yet to be absorbed?
With his Limit Breakthrough trait after absorbing the medicinal effects, the automatic power level growth at every moment had doubled. There was no need to envy Goku's ability to grow stronger from near death.
"Haha, Tien Shinhan, I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger. Want to have a match right now?"
Whoosh, whoosh-
Swish, swish-
Kid Goku excitedly stretched his limbs, each punch and kick producing a sharp whistle through the air.
Feeling the immense power filling his body, he felt that the gap between himself and Tien Shinhan had narrowed considerably, and he should be qualified to challenge Tien Shinhan again.
"Haha, I was thinking the same thing!"
Tien Shinhan readily agreed.
There was nothing bad about sparring as far as Tien Shinhan was concerned.
On the contrary, with the gap between Goku's strength and his own narrowing, he could get an even more thorough workout in battle.
The more thoroughly he trained, the stronger the effects of his Limit Breakthrough trait became, and the faster his power level rose.
He could grow stronger without fighting, and the more he fought, the faster he grew stronger. This was Tien Shinhan after breaking his Human Limiter!
The next moment, Tien Shinhan and Goku locked eyes, the fighting spirit bursting from their gazes seeming to form two bolts of lightning clashing in the air.
However, they did not immediately begin fighting. Instead, they waited a while, until Chiaotzu, who had been rolling around on the floor, also successfully overcame the Ultra Divine Water's trial and grew somewhat stronger, before finally beginning their match.
Whoosh-
A rush of wind sounded. Krillin's vision blurred, and Tien Shinhan and Goku both vanished from his sight at the same time.
"They're so fast! Just how strong have they gotten now?"
Krillin clenched his fists. While marveling at their current formidable strength, he also resolved to train diligently at Kami's Lookout, then challenge the Ultra Divine Water and catch up with them!
Bam, bam, bam!
Because the two moved so quickly, Blue-haired Launch, standing nearby, could no longer see them at all.
She could only hear the sounds of their fists striking flesh and clashing against each other, seemingly ringing out everywhere throughout Korin Tower's great hall.
Master Korin's usually narrowed eyes opened at this moment as he strained to make out their movements.
"The younger generation really is formidable. Tien Shinhan and Goku have already completely surpassed the bounds of normal Earth martial artists.
Even Kami might not necessarily be a match for these two boys now, would he?"
Although Master Korin knew the relationship between Kami and King Piccolo, he still held Kami in reverence.
So even though Tien Shinhan's and Goku's actual power levels had long since surpassed Kami's, he had never thought along those lines before.
Only now, as he watched the two fiercely battling after the Ultra Divine Water had unleashed their potential, did that thought instinctively occur to him.
With strength like this, even if several young King Piccolos had appeared back then, these two could probably defeat them effortlessly now, couldn't they?
Korin thought to himself, and could not help raising his head with a sigh.
Chiaotzu, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded.
He had also drunk the Ultra Divine Water and gained considerable benefits from it.
In fact, when he had just climbed up from the floor, he had been feeling pleased about his strength doubling and had wanted to show off to Tien Shinhan and Goku.
But now, compared with the enormous improvements Tien Shinhan and Goku had gained, how could he have the nerve to show off his mere doubling in power level?
"Brother Tien really is amazing. His strength increased so much.
And Goku is amazing too. He can actually trade blows evenly with Brother Tien."
Bam!
In the end, Tien Shinhan's 500-point power level advantage was not just for show. With both sides evenly matched in combat experience, Tien Shinhan ultimately defeated Goku as he was now and won.
"I'm still just a little behind you, Tien Shinhan. But don't worry, we should be able to start training next.
After another three months, I'll definitely be the winner!"
Kid Goku took defeat well. Although he was still slightly inferior to Tien Shinhan, he immediately climbed back up from the floor after losing and declared that he would overtake him after the next three-month stage of training.
"Haha, Goku, you really are a strong opponent, but do you think I'll give you a chance to overtake me?"
Hearing this, Tien Shinhan looked utterly confident.
This confidence was not blind, because he had already thought of a method that might allow him to quickly absorb the medicinal effects inside him.
It was just that this method also carried considerable risk.
But if he wanted to pursue becoming the strongest, how could he seize opportunities without taking some risks?
Training step by step might be the proper path, but Tien Shinhan understood that if he wanted to pursue becoming the strongest, he had no choice but to take the extreme path!
The extreme path meant the utmost commitment and focus. What did a little risk matter?
