Chapter 852: The Immortal's Shock (Second Update)
Chapter 852: The Immortal's Shock (Second Update)
"You're really impressive, managing to climb up here in less than a day. You're the second one to do so. Meow, why did you bring so much food up?"
While Jerry was replenishing his supplies, a white cat with a cane slowly descended from the second floor.
However, when the cat saw the mountain of food and drinks, it was so startled that it immediately jumped back.
As a powerful Immortal, the cat had already sensed someone climbing the Karin Tower. But it hadn't expected the climber to be this fast.
Initially, the cat thought the climber would be exhausted and lying on the ground, but instead, the person was eating. Could he have carried all this food up with him?
"Hey, good morning, Karin Immortal!"
Jerry poked his head out from behind the mountain of food, greeted the cat, and then continued eating.
Karin Immortal, however, fell silent as he looked at Jerry.
He realized that his mind-reading ability, which he possessed as an Immortal, was ineffective on this young human. He couldn't read the boy's thoughts, something he had never encountered before.
"Clean up!"
Ten minutes later, Jerry waved his hand, using Magic to clear away the leftover food and drinks. Then, he approached Karin Immortal and greeted him formally.
"I am Jerry Carmen, a disciple of Master Wu Tian. I have come to visit Karin Immortal."
Karin Immortal sat on a table, stroking his beard.
"Oh, you're Wu Tian's disciple. That guy hasn't visited me in three hundred years. I didn't expect him to have a disciple as promising as you. Was that Magic you just used?"
Magic and Mages do exist in this world, though they are rare and mostly not very powerful. Karin Immortal, having lived for so long, had certainly seen them.
"Almost forgot."
Jerry tapped his chest, sealing his Magic power again, and replied:
"Yes, I've learned some Magic, but I only use it to aid my martial arts training. I don't rely on it much. My goal is to reach the peak of martial arts."
Karin Immortal looked at Jerry, pausing for a moment.
"You climbed the Karin Tower for the Super Holy Water, right? It's on the second floor. I'll take you there."
Unable to read Jerry's mind, Karin Immortal couldn't determine if Jerry was telling the truth or even if he was truly Wu Tian's disciple. A Mage who climbs the Karin Tower to pursue martial arts was indeed bizarre, even to someone who had lived for so long.
Since he couldn't be sure, he decided to follow the rules of the Karin Tower and get this over with as quickly as possible.
Jerry nodded and followed Karin Immortal up to the second floor with a smile.
"Look, that's the Super Holy Water. Drinking it can multiply your strength several times."
Following Karin Immortal's cane, Jerry saw a small, exquisitely crafted and expensive-looking porcelain bottle on a grand pedestal in the center of the second floor.
"Go ahead and take it!"
"Thank you, Karin Immortal."
Jerry's lips curled into a smile, but he didn't reveal his suspicions as he walked toward the central pedestal.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the bottle, Karin Immortal's cane suddenly swung toward the back of his head.
Jerry sidestepped to the right, narrowly avoiding the surprise attack.
"Karin Immortal, what's the meaning of this? Why are you attacking me?"
"Getting the Super Holy Water isn't that easy. Try to take it from me. Your master spent three years to get it."
Karin Immortal stepped forward, using the staff to pick up the small bottle. Rubbing his beard, he chuckled with satisfaction.
Super Holy Water alone cannot enhance one's strength. The real way to grow stronger is by climbing Karin Tower to push your body to its limits and receiving subtle guidance from me during the bottle-snatching process.
Jerry's speed in climbing Karin Tower is clearly much faster than Wu Tian's was three hundred years ago. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to snatch the bottle in no time.
Once everything is over, I can finally get rid of this peculiar fellow.
"I know, Karin Immortal. How about we make a bet? If I can snatch the Super Holy Water from you within a minute, you'll take me to where I can obtain Divine Holy Water, how does that sound?"
Faced with Karin Immortal's deliberate provocation, Jerry merely smiled and then revealed his true intention.
"Divine Holy Water? What Divine Holy Water? There's only Super Holy Water, the one in my hand."
Karin Immortal was taken aback for a moment, feigning ignorance.
Jerry sat down in a chair nearby.
"From what I understand, the Super Holy Water in your bottle is just ordinary water. However, somewhere in the world, there is a sealed Divine Holy Water, created by ancient deities, which can greatly unlock one's potential when consumed."
"I didn't expect you to know so many secrets. These things weren't told to you by Wu Tian, were they? I certainly never told him."
Hearing Jerry speak so clearly, Karin Immortal stopped pretending to be clueless.
Jerry shrugged.
"Indeed, it wasn't Wu Tian who told me. I learned this from the magic books I studied, which also mentioned the Heavenly Deity Hall on Karin Tower."
"Since you know about the Heavenly Deity Hall, you should understand that while Divine Holy Water can unlock human potential, the prerequisite is having a body strong enough to endure it. Otherwise, it will result in a violent death."
"From the time Divine Holy Water appeared until now, countless powerful humans have sought it out. However, only fourteen have managed to navigate the labyrinth and obtain it, and none of them survived after drinking it."
Karin Immortal's expression grew serious.
"I should be fine."
Jerry smiled slightly.
Karin Immortal looked at Jerry, pondering for a long while before responding.
"To be honest, your speed just now isn't enough to handle Super Holy Water. However, if you can snatch this bottle from me within an hour, I'll let you try."
Although Karin Immortal couldn't read minds, he could sense that this young man wasn't evil and indeed had potential, so he didn't outright refuse.
A minute was impossible, but an hour—only if the other party could snatch the bottle within an hour—would they have the basic qualifications to seek out Divine Holy Water.
In reality, Karin Immortal didn't think Jerry could achieve it in an hour. The sooner he gave up, the better.
"Then I won't be shy."
Jerry smiled, adjusted the button on his sleeve, and instantly released the 600-kilogram gravity magic from his body. His internal energy surged, his figure blurred, and in his hand, he now held the small bottle.
"One second, Karin Immortal, I win."
"How is that possible!!!"
Karin Immortal sensed the vast amount of energy within Jerry and looked at the missing bottle on his staff. His cat face was not just surprised but outright shocked.
The speed at which Jerry had snatched the bottle was so fast that even he, an Immortal, hadn't reacted in time.
