"Thank you, God of Earth," Vegeta said.
"You're welcome. As long as you don't cause trouble on Earth, everything is negotiable," the Kami smiled.
"Then, goodbye." Vegeta waved and leaped down from the lookout.
Watching Vegeta's retreating figure, the Kami breathed a sigh of relief.
He hoped he wouldn't cause any trouble.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta plummeted down from the sky, quickly appearing above Korin Tower.
With his hands in his pockets, Vegeta walked directly into Korin Tower.
Master Korin eyed Vegeta with suspicion, wondering what his intentions were.
Master Korin also knew that Vegeta had summoned Shenron earlier.
"Master Korin, is it?" Vegeta asked, looking at the immortal cat.
"Y-yes... I am Master Korin. May I ask what brings you here?" Master Korin inquired.
"I've heard you have Super Holy Water here, which can awaken a person's latent energy. Give me some," Vegeta stated his purpose directly.
"Are you sure?" Master Korin was taken aback and asked.
"Of course," Vegeta smiled.
"You want to awaken your latent energy?" Master Korin wiped sweat from his brow.
You're already so powerful that you claim your power level exceeds 10,000.
The strongest god on our planet only has a power level of over 200.
How much stronger do you want to be?
"Yes, I definitely want to awaken my latent energy," Vegeta nodded.
"Alright, I can give you the Super Holy Water." Master Korin stepped forward, hooked the Super Holy Water with his staff, and explained, "However, this stuff is highly poisonous. Drinking it is a gamble with life and death. Many have drunk Super Holy Water, but all have unfortunately died."
"You can rest assured about that, because I just wished for immortality from Shenron. This minor issue won't kill me," Vegeta said with a smile.
Master Korin: "..."
Master Korin silently wiped his sweat and immediately poured a cup of Super Holy Water for Vegeta.
So, that old fellow in the sky... actually granted this brat such a wish.
Vegeta held the cup of Super Holy Water, gathered his courage, and drank it down in one gulp.
I'm already immortal.
It's ridiculous to think I'd die from the poison of Super Holy Water.
As for the fan-fiction settings where Son Goku contracted a viral heart condition from drinking Super Holy Water, Vegeta didn't care at all.
I'm immortal...
What fear do I have of heart disease?
If I truly contracted heart disease.
Couldn't I just sever everything below my neck and regenerate it?
Would the regenerated body also have heart disease?
Even if it did.
Wouldn't there still be Vados?
Angels are omnipotent.
Asking Vados to cure my viral heart condition would be incredibly easy for her.
Therefore, Vegeta had nothing to worry about.
After drinking the Super Holy Water, Vegeta distinctly felt as if countless blades were dancing in his throat.
After these blades sliced through his throat, they entered his body.
The blades raged back and forth within his body.
This sensation... was truly an agonizing bliss.
Vegeta endured the immense pain silently, not letting out a single cry of agony.
"Does it hurt?" Master Korin asked with concern.
"It doesn't hurt..." Vegeta's face was beaded with sweat.
Master Korin: "..."
You call this not hurting?
You're sweating profusely from the pain.
"Heh!"
Vegeta decided to unleash all his energy, using his own power to resist the stimulation of the pain.
Vegeta discovered that using this method indeed reduced the pain significantly.
An hour later.
Vegeta's pain had completely vanished.
Vegeta took a deep breath and silently felt the changes in his body.
My energy...
I feel my energy rapidly increasing.
What is my power level now?
Vegeta immediately pulled out a scouter, attached it to his ear, and pressed the button.
Power Level: 32,000!
That's right!
Vegeta's power level had reached a staggering 32,000.
This far surpassed Vegeta's power level in the original work 20 years later.
After all, the Vegeta in the original work, when he arrived on Earth 20 years later, only had a power level of 18,000.
After drinking a cup of Super Holy Water, his power level had doubled to 32,000.
I wonder if drinking more... would it continue to increase?
"You're truly remarkable, little fellow!" Master Korin exclaimed. "You're the first person to drink Super Holy Water and not die. I can also clearly sense your energy wildly increasing."
"Another cup. That last one wasn't exciting enough," Vegeta said to Master Korin.
Master Korin: "..."
Master Korin was speechless at that moment.
"This... drinking more of this probably won't have much of an effect anymore... it'll just be you suffering for nothing," Master Korin advised.
"Stop babbling and hurry up," Vegeta urged.
"Alright, if you want to drink... there's plenty..." Master Korin said with a wry smile, and poured another cup of Super Holy Water for Vegeta.
Vegeta held the cup of Super Holy Water and was about to drink it.
"Drinking it straight?" Vegeta asked.
Master Korin: "?????"
"Go, prepare me a plate of peanuts. I want to drink it with them," Vegeta said.
Master Korin silently wiped his sweat.
Are you treating Super Holy Water like alcohol?
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly," Vegeta said. "Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy myself."
Master Korin: "..."
Master Korin quickly prepared the peanuts.
A plate of fried peanuts.
Vegeta took a sip of Super Holy Water, then a peanut.
He was having a grand time.
Master Korin was stunned.
Is that really Super Holy Water?
Why don't you seem to be in pain at all now?
"Does it taste good?" Master Korin curiously leaned closer.
"How about you try a cup too?" Vegeta smiled.
"No, no... I wouldn't dare drink it. I might die after just one sip," Master Korin shook his head vigorously.
The cup of Super Holy Water was quickly finished by Vegeta.
Yes... he drank it with peanuts.
It tasted quite good.
It just left a slight burning sensation in his stomach afterward.
Vegeta took a deep breath and quickly checked his power level.
Damn it!
It really did increase!
Vegeta's power level had now risen to 39,000.
No need to train, drinking Super Holy Water also increases power level.
Vegeta was overjoyed and poured himself another cup of Super Holy Water.
"You... you're still drinking?" Master Korin said with a mix of laughter and tears.
Are you really treating Super Holy Water like wine?
