Chapter 94: Body Recovered, Lightning Talent
Seeing Son Goku's hesitation, the Cat Sage frowned slightly. "If you don't hurry, this kid's body will be completely obliterated by the thunder tribulation inside him."
"But the Ultra Divine Water is highly poisonous. Fifteen people have drunk it before—only I survived. And now Brother Franklin is already in this state. If he drinks it, he'll definitely die."
Noticing the stubbornness in Son Goku's eyes, the Cat Sage quickly explained, "The residual power inside Su is the remnant of thunder tribulation—it's the destructive and yang force of heaven and earth's creation. The Ultra Divine Water is heaven and earth's destructive yin force. They're of the same kind yet opposite in nature. Feed it to him, and he'll be reborn. If you hesitate for even a moment longer, he'll die without a doubt."
Though the explanation made little sense to him, Son Goku recalled what Franklin had told him before—to trust his instincts. Seeing no reason for the Cat Sage to lie, Son Goku stopped hesitating, quickly ran to Franklin's side, and fed him the Ultra Divine Water.
In an instant, the raging thunder tribulation energy shrank back into Franklin's body, and a strange, terrifying aura erupted from within him.
Sensing something was wrong, the Cat Sage tapped his wooden staff cautiously. Franklin's body slowly floated upward, rising toward the top of Karin Tower.
As dark clouds suddenly appeared and spread rapidly across the sky above the tower, the Cat Sage grew increasingly vigilant.
Franklin's aura kept expanding, becoming more and more terrifying. As it surged, the dark clouds above grew more menacing, the oppressive pressure intensifying. Karin Tower, which had stood for countless years, even trembled faintly.
"This kid isn't going to bring Karin Tower down, is he? That would be a bit too much of a loss."
Feeling the frightening aura within Franklin, the Cat Sage no longer hesitated. He gently tapped his staff on the ground, and a large water jar floated up, swiftly enclosing Franklin inside it.
Once his aura was completely sealed off by the jar, the storm clouds that had spread for hundreds of kilometers quickly shrank and slowly dissipated.
Time passed second by second. Cracks had already begun to appear on the jar's surface. Feeling the terrifying power inside, the Cat Sage let out a deep breath.
"The fusion of two heaven-and-earth creation forces… What kind of monster is this going to produce? This cat's getting more and more curious."
No one knew how long had passed before Franklin suddenly opened his eyes. Feeling his body again, he realized his thoughts were clear, his movements smooth, and even his missing right arm had grown back. He felt more energetic than ever.
Recalling everything that had happened, Franklin still found it hard to believe. He had actually climbed to the top of Karin Tower with only one arm and a shattered body, dragging Goku along with him.
Not only that, but he could still vividly remember that explosive speed and strength triggered by the Cat Sage's words at the end. That sensation of unleashing everything had burned into his mind. If he ever had to use it again in a life-or-death moment, he was certain it could kill the enemy in an instant.
To fully grasp his current condition, Franklin calmed himself and summoned the Dimensional Heavenly Tome.

After reviewing his stats, Franklin exhaled deeply. His physical cultivation hadn't advanced, but he could feel that his physical strength was more than ten times what it had been before, and the strength of his cells far surpassed his previous spiritual qi-infused cells.
As for his spiritual qi cultivation, Franklin didn't focus on it—this was what had triggered the tribulation in the first place. He didn't dare to restore his depleted spiritual qi. The improvement in his mental power was expected, but the Yang Thunder and Yin Water were complete mysteries to him, and he wasn't even sure when he'd awakened Lightning Control.
His divine sense instinctively spread out but was met with some resistance on the surface of his body. Franklin ignored it and focused inward. Probing carefully, he saw four items floating in his dantian and qi sea:
A tiny golden core seed, a sword quietly standing guard in a corner, a strange lightning-shaped sigil, and a single drop of strange black liquid.
He was very familiar with the first two, but the lightning sigil and black liquid left him puzzled.
Thinking back, the only time something like this could've happened was during the moment he burned his life away. The Cat Sage must have done something to him then—something that not only saved his life but also caused this strange change inside his qi sea.
Franklin pushed aside his wandering thoughts and lightly tapped the jar's wall. "Cat Sage, I'm fine now. You can put this thing away."
As soon as he spoke, the giant jar covering him was gently moved aside by the Cat Sage.
"Kid Lin, how do you feel?"
Hearing the cat's question, Franklin took a deep breath and bowed slightly. "Thank you for saving my life, Cat Sage."
The white cat waved a paw dismissively. "You completed Karin Tower's trial. I couldn't just let you die here. Helping you was only natural. These ten senzu beans are your reward for successfully climbing. As for the changes in your body—don't ask me. I don't know either. That's your own good fortune. You and Goku should get going. King Piccolo has already gathered all seven Dragon Balls. Taking care of him is your top priority now."
