5 The Tower

After the assailants' incident, I decided it was time to return to my route on the way to Korin's tower.

I spent the next five months exploring, I think this planet is bigger than the one in my original land. It also has a greater fauna and flora. There are hundreds of plants with bright colors, the planet seems to have a great source of natural resources.

I also met with many different types of animals, some were so strange that they seemed like something out of a fantasy movie.

Probably the large number of different animals, is one of the key factors that make the food of the earth so delicious.

Every once in a while, I go home to see my family. I'm really enjoying my time in this world.

I have continued training daily. Currently the amount of ki that I have is increasing rapidly, now I am able to launch several kamehameha in a row. I am sure that I have surpassed Master Roshi in number of ki.

I have also been improving the kamehameha. I have managed to increase the rotation of the energy, increasing the perforation of the technique. Possibly, if my kamehameha were to face Roshi's, I would easily cross it.

Besides my perception of ki has had a tremendous impulse, I can feel a part of the whole planet. I usually use my perception to prove that my family is well.

My absolute strengthening technique is working much better than I thought, every time I have lower consumption of ki, gaining more resistance.

On the other hand, I created my own movement technique, focused on the use of ki in the legs to maximize speed. The technique involves wrapping the legs internally with ki causing it to take the form of a spring, which I use to propel with each step. Also for some reason the technique works even when I'm flying. I guess it's more a property of the ki that allows me to be faster, than some kind of physical propulsion.

The first time I used the technique, it was so uncontrollable that I went through a forest to stop myself.

However, at this moment I am able to control it quite well.

When I use the technique, I am able to triple my speed.

After all this time and training I decided that it is time to climb the tower of Korin.

I've chosen to climb it and not go flying, since I think it's a good warm-up exercise.

Although I went slowly, it took me only several minutes to reach the top.

After climbing, I could see a white cat, holding a wooden staff. This must be Korin.

Korin was watching me closely.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for sacred water, could you tell me where it is?" I said calmly

"The water is here, if you want it you will have to catch it" Korin said calmly and with a mocking tone, he seemed a little annoyed although I do not remember doing anything to upset him.

After that, I tried to catch he. However, before I could touch he, Korin grabs he.

It seems that it will not be as easy as I thought. Not even with all the training I've done, I'm able to overtake Korin. Surely, it's not because of my speed, and agility, but that his technique is more polished than mine.

After not having been able to grab the jar with the water, I stayed a few seconds planning what movements to use.

I try and try, but there was no improvement. I was several hours, until finally I saw that each time was closer. Apparently what made me slower was that I kept some unnecessary muscles contracted when I moved.

A few hours later I was finally able to grab the jar. When I achieves it Korin is left in shock, as if he had seen something impossible, he was really confused, but quickly recovered the calm, I suppose the experience is what gives him that calm, not for nothing is called Korin the immortal.

Then I drank the water, only to see that it was normal water, this was something I had already expected, but it was necessary to improve my agility. I really must be talented with respect to close combat skills, keeping in mind that Master Roshi took 3 years to reach the water.

"This is normal water, can you give me the sacred water?" I ask with an innocent face.

"I'm sorry but no, because, there's no such thing as sacred water, the real test was to see if you could get the bottle, normally it's impossible or extremely difficult for martial artists, but it seems that it's not much for you." Korin said in an explanatory and somewhat proud tone.

"Um, okay, I understand. You have something to eat? I'm really hungry " I said calmly.

"I only have these seeds, but they are able to satisfy hunger for ten days" Korin said in a bored tone.

"Great, can I take a few?" I said innocently.

"Sure, do not worry, lately nobody goes up the tower so there are many accumulated," Korin said without caring.

After that conversation I grabbed all the senzu beans I could. I said goodbye to Korin and prepared to go to Kami's temple.
