Master Karin glared at John, his face filled with disbelief, and said, "Who told you about the Super Divine Water? Was it your unreliable Master Wutian again? Who said that obtaining the Super Divine Water requires an adventure?"
John quickly shook his head and said, "No one told me. I just assumed that if I defeated you, I would easily obtain the Super Divine Water. But if it's that easy, wouldn't there be too many people trying to take it?"
As soon as John finished speaking, Master Karin became furious.
"Do you think I'm weak? What do you mean by saying that defeating me will easily get you the Super Divine Water?" he said, still fuming as he picked up his staff and started tapping it on John's forehead.
John knew he had said something wrong, so he didn't dare to dodge the tapping. He only slightly raised his hand to block it.
Master Karin took a deep breath to calm himself down and continued, "You can drink the Super Divine Water if you gain my approval. If someone takes it from me by force, I don't really care."
"Do you think the fourteen people in history who drank the Super Divine Water all got it from me honestly?"
"It's easy to obtain the Super Divine Water, but it's difficult to improve your strength by drinking it. That's why I say that no one in history has ever improved their strength by drinking it."
"There have been many people in history who were stronger than me, and even stronger than you. Some of them were even stronger than the gods. But without exception, they all died from poisoning after drinking the Super Divine Water. Are you sure you still want it?"
After saying this, Master Karin took out a teacup and poured the Super Divine Water from the teapot into it. He then pushed the cup towards John.
John looked at the red Super Divine Water in the teacup, which seemed highly toxic. He swallowed hard as he recalled the stories Master Karin had just told him about those who had died from drinking it. He suddenly hesitated about drinking it.
Master Karin seemed to notice John's hesitation and continued to persuade him, "Actually, your martial arts talent is very high. You are the most talented young man I've seen in the past few hundred years. If you diligently train, you can definitely become the strongest in the world."
"I really think you don't need to take this risk. After inheriting the will of the previous Karin Sage, I also tried to drink the Super Divine Water, but in the end, I vomited it out because I was afraid. So, I think it's okay if you're afraid to drink it."
John thought to himself that his arrival had already started to change the plot. If he didn't transform into a Super Saiyan in the future and Goku didn't either, then everyone would be wiped out by Frieza.
He wondered why he had collected the Dragon Balls to turn himself into a Saiyan if he didn't have the courage to drink the Super Divine Water. How could he transform into a Super Saiyan without that courage?
If it were Goku or Vegeta, they would have drunk the Super Divine Water without hesitation.
With this in mind, John ignored Master Karin, who was talking on the side, and raised the cup filled with Super Divine Water in front of him. He drank it all in one go.
"Bitter, too bitter!" John exclaimed as he drank the Super Divine Water, feeling like he had just consumed the most bitter substance in the world. He almost vomited it all out.
However, John managed to hold back the bitter taste and swallowed it all into his stomach.
Soon, John felt every cell in his body screaming in pain, as if millions of knives were piercing his body.
John thought he was going to die and let out a heart-wrenching howl.
Master Karin was still trying to persuade John to give up the idea of drinking the Super Divine Water, but to his surprise, John suddenly drank it all in one go.
Seeing John in pain, Master Karin was startled. Unfortunately, he had no way to help John at that moment and could only watch as John let out a piercing scream of agony.
John was in so much pain that he wished he could pass out immediately. However, he couldn't, and the intense pain kept stimulating his nerves. John's screams gradually became hoarse, and his voice grew weaker.
Despite this, John didn't die. It seemed like something was keeping him alive. The Super Divine Water couldn't kill him.
As the Super Divine Water continued to transform John's body, a golden image suddenly appeared in his mind. A golden-haired warrior with golden flames emanating from his body stood before John.
John immediately recognized the warrior as a Super Saiyan. The warrior seemed to be fighting a monster, but John couldn't make out what the monster was.
After the Super Saiyan defeated the monster, he turned to look at John. His eyes were filled with anger, but there was not a trace of madness. Instead, he appeared incredibly lucid.
The warrior seemed to be saying something, but John couldn't hear him clearly. So, John calmed his mind to listen to what the ancient Super Saiyan warrior wanted to say.
Gradually, John was able to hear the warrior's voice. He spoke in a deep tone, "The key to becoming a Super Saiyan is rational anger. When your strength reaches a certain level, control the anger and pain in your heart, accumulate it, and then release it. That's how you transform into a Super Saiyan."
After the warrior finished speaking, the golden figure in John's mind slowly disappeared.
When the warrior vanished, John also woke up from his dream. He discovered that the intense pain he had been feeling had disappeared like a receding tide, and he had survived.
John got up from the ground and faced Master Karin, who was looking at him with astonishment. John asked, "Master Karin, how long was I unconscious?"
Master Karin replied, "More than five hours. But that's not important. Tell me, what did you feel during those five hours?"
John said, "Besides pain, it was all pain. The pain came from every cell in my body."
John didn't want to mention the dream he had about the Super Saiyan, as it was likely just a dream because he was currently a Saiyan. It didn't seem to have any universal applicability.
Master Karin was a bit disappointed. As the only person who had drunk the Super Divine Water and survived, he wanted to gather some information to find out what kind of person could drink it without dying. However, all he heard from John was the word "pain."
Of course, Master Karin knew that drinking the Super Divine Water would be painful. He had witnessed the fourteen people who had drunk it in the past, screaming in agony until they died. No one knew better than him how painful it was.
"Well, if there were no other feelings, then that's it," Master Karin said. "But now that you've drunk the Super Divine Water, what are your plans for the future?"
