"12 people have already died before, ya know?" Karin sighed after being unable to convince Rayhan. Karin knew that the previous 12 people were not even half as strong as Rayhan. But Karin felt dread for his little friend.

"Don't worry big bro. I won't die. If my life force hits a low just feed me a Senju bean. I should be able to pull through it" Rayhan said. He knew that there was a low chance of him dying but he felt dread thinking about the pain he would have to suffer under the effect of the water.

He took the water pot and drank all of the water there.

The pain slowly came. He slumped to the ground and started writhing in pain. This type of pain was not only inflicted on his mind and body but also his soul. His past life's earliest memory started to come to his mind. His past life slowly played in his mind until the day he had come into this world. Everything stopped after that. There was only darkness. His agony intensified and he felt that he could die at any moment. But at this time, a clear stream of heat entered his being. It stabilized his life. After being in the darkness for a long time, he found a source of light. He struggled his way towards the light and found out there were shining balls of light. They revolved around each other. Slowly they got nearer and gradually fused.

Rayhan's memory of this life slowly started to flash through his mind and finally stopped at the moment he drank the ultra divine water. After that, there was darkness again and he felt that his life was going to end right there but warm energy came and save his life. This happened 8 more times and the pain faded.

When Rayhan woke up, he felt like a different person, his ki sense had improved by a lot. He opened his eyes to see worried Karin pacing back and forth.

"Yo big bro, See I am alive." Rayhan laughed.

"Damn brat. You nearly died many times. Thankfully, Senju beans worked." Karin replied.

Rayhan made a faint guess and asked, "How many Senju beans did you feed me?"

"10" Karin replied.

"Hehe, thanks, big bro. My power has surged massively. I will need to focus on my absolute ki control for a bit from now." He said in a happy tone.

His power level had jumped to 3000 which might have taken him centuries if he were to train on earth without any external assistance.

After that Rayhan adjusted his ki control.

A few months later, news came from Kami that King Kai had accepted to train him.

Kami led him to the other world.

When they arrived there, someone close to Rayhan was already waiting for them.

"Master!" Rayhan exclaimed in surprise and delight.

Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

"Kiddo, it seems you have grown to much higher heights in just a few years." The tiger hermit.

"Haha. A bit I guess. So master what do you do here?" He asked.

"I work in the kitchen. I will work my way up, no worries." his master replied with a wink.

"By the way what's your power level now," Tiger Hermit asked in a whisper.

"It's 3000" Rayhan smirked.

Tiger Master took a long breath.

"Ahem Ahem. Mortals should not stay in this place for long. Tiger, you show your disciple to the snake way." Said the large red giant who was known as King Yemma.

Tiger hermit led his student to the snake way and said, "It is said that this way is millions of kilometer-long but you should be able to cross it. Okay, be on the way, I have to return to my work."

"Okay Master, I will see you when I return after three years," Rayhan said and left through the snake way.

Rayhan sped toward King Kai's place using his super-human transformation.

Two days later, Rayhan was on a small planet with 10 times the gravity of earth but he could easily walk around without any difficulty although there was a strain on his body.

He saw a short guy with blue skin color and an antenna protruding forward and he immediately knew that was the ruler of this galaxy.

"Greeting King Kai," Rayhan said as he bowed.

"Who are you ?" King Kai said asked.

"I came here to train," Rayhan replied.

"Oh, I remember. Let's see if this one tickles your funny bones." He said, stopped, and continued, "Hello! I have got a joke to tell."

He made an exaggerated motion of holding a phone and said "Huh? No one is there.."

After a deliberate stop he spoke, "Guess I better tell - a - phone"

"Hahahahhahahahhahaahahhaha" Rayhan started laughing and rolling on the floor.

"You are too funny King Kai!" Rayhan exclaimed.

King Kai also laughed at his joke.

King Kai immediately became delighted and said, "A person with a sense of humor is worth teaching."

"King Kai. I have brought you this gift." Rayhan passed him the joke book.

King Kai took his book and started reading it. He immediately started to laugh and forgot about Rayhan.

"King Kai! My training?" He brought King Kai out of his stupor.

King Kai sent a beam of light through his antenna towards Rayhan and said, "Since you can already withstand the gravity here, adjust with these weights first."

Rayhan felt like his body was felt with lead and he could barely walk.

One month later, he was comfortable with this weight. He realized that his body would recover 3 to 4 times faster on King Kai's planet. He wanted to know the reason behind it.

King Kai would occasionally supervise his training but other than that he was busy reading the collection.

Whenever Rayhan adjusted to his weighted clothes, King Kai would make his body like lead again. This cycle would continue throughout Rayhan's stay here.

Rayhan would laugh exaggeratedly whenever King Kai told him jokes.

Time went on slowly. Naturally, Rayhan and King Kai also became much closer due to time.

1 year later.

Rahan's power level had reached 9,000 from 3,000.

'A good training environment a good teacher does wonders.' thought Rayhan.

One day, King Kai called Rayfan and said, "Last year, I have not taught you anything special. Today, I will teach you a technique that I created after watching mortals for a long time. It is called Kaio-ken and even I am not able to use it myself. You can give it a try but keep in mind that this technique is really dangerous."

"Thank you, King Kai, I will keep that in mind," Rayhan said in delight.

"It is a technique that multiplies the user's ki for a "heartbeat" - thus increasing their power and speed and enabling them to inflict serious damage to opponents who are considerably stronger than them. However, the downside of the Kaio-ken is that it takes a heavy toll on your body, making them more vulnerable to enemy attacks. This technique requires the use of ki control to handle it properly. I feel that your ki control is exceedingly good. So, you might be able to do it." King Kai explained.
