Two and a half months passed as Krillin chased after the evasive Korin, by now the dynamic of their chase had completely changed.
Instead of Korin easily dodging every one of Krillins grabs, now the cat had to actively slap away his hand and quickly move his cane before Krillin could grabb the jar.
Every day was a struggle for Korin as every day Krillin became slightly better than before, this inadvertently caused Korin to become better at dodging and the constant work out actually made Korin faster!
Krillins footwork had completely evolved under the constant chasing, his hands became faster and his eyes became much more fine tune to reading Korins movement's.
Krillin hands moved as a blur, he pretended to go for the jar on top of the cane as Korin moved it out of reach. Krillin predicted his movements and slid forward, kicking the bottom of the cane out of Korins hand!
The cat desperately tried to catch it only for the monk to jump onto his shoulder and use him as a springboard to grab the jar of beans.
"I did it!" Krillin sweat covered face broke out in an ear to ear grin as he held the beans in his hand.
"You actually did kid, and you caught me much faster than your master who took three entire years to catch me" Korin said, a slight relief that this challenge was over.
Hearing this Krillin couldn't help but be subconsciously proud of himself.
"I guess it's time for me to move on from my journey, I really appreciate everything you've done for me Grand Sensei Korin." Taking the bean pot, Krillin handed Korin his cane back.
"I actually have a couple things for you, I can't skimp out on helping my Grand disciple after all." Saying this, Korin pulled up a large marble slab and reveal a perfectly prestine tea kettle.
Taking the kettle, he poured a cup of water before placing it back.
"This here is Divine water, It has the ability to unlock one hidden potential but drink it at your own risk! The chances of dying to it are quite high! 14 people before you have already died to the waters affects."
'Ive already drank a nerfed version of this, I aint dumb enough to risk my life for a slightly better affecf.' Krillin thought to himself.
"Thank you Master Korin, do you mind if I save it for later?"
"Of course not, it's yours so you may do with it what you please. As for my second gift... FLYING NIMBUS!!!"
Hearing the cat scream these words out Krillin could help but feel his stomach flutter in recognition. A few seconds passed as suddenly a dark cloud zoomed out of the sky and parked itself Infront of Korin.
"This right here is the Dark flying nimbus, unlike the Golden flying Nimbus who only permits those pure of heart to ride it, the Dark nimbus allows all except those pure of heart to ride it. Now it's yours, just inject your Ki into it and l'll switch ownership to you."
With a giddy smile on his face Krillin followed instructions and injected his ki into it, beforw Korin also injected his ki into it transferring the ownership to him.
Stepping onto the dark cloud, it felt incredibly soothing as he felt his mind link up with it, with a though the cloud move left, right and even did a loopedy loop!
"Thank you so much Korin, this'll be very helpful on my journey!" Krillin found himself actually tear up, this was the most precious gift he was given in both lives.
"Ah it's fine kid, no need for waterworks. Go out into the world and explore it to your hearts content" Turning his back to Krillin, Korin had a bittersweet smile as the boy said goodbye and flew away.

Zooming through the sky's at over 200mph Krillin felt that the nimbus was barely going half it speed but he didn't dare push it, he already felt freezing cold going this fast.
"System show me my status"
[Host:Krillin
Race: Pure human
Powerlevel: 189
Skills: Shaolin monk fighting style(intermediate), Turtle Hermit fighting style (proficient), Ki control (basic), Cat step footwork (basic)]
Krillin was certainly the strongest fighter now but he was just a couple zenkai boost away from getting surpassed by Goku, he didn't dare let up and allow Goku to overtake him.
Thanks to his nimbus, and the knowledge his system had granted him, Krillin arrived at the location of his next goal. Surprisingly it brought him to an old rundown antique shop located at the outskirts of a small town.
With it being night time nobody could see his nimbus so he quietly landed on the ground before scoping out the building. It was a small two story building that had multiple windows and two doors.
Krillin didnt have any ways to silently get in, so he tried his best to be quiet as he can ripping the door off his hinges but still made a considerable amount of noise.
Placing the door back down, Krillin followed the unconscious pull that the system granted him until he arrived at the back of the antique shop. He was looking around in wonder until his eyes finally lande on it, sitting on a wall, the Bansho Fan!
It was a large fan that looked to be made out of a palm leaf but was actually made from a feathwr of a mythical fire eating bird. Picking it up Krillin noticed there was a slight stain in the middle of it that caught Krillins attention.
'Thats right! Didnt master Roshi say he spilt wanton on this and so he threw it out by mistake? His loss is my gain! This thing can supposedly raise a typhoon with a single wave, a thunderstorm with two and a monsoon with three waves! With this I ca-'
"Hand up and don't move!" Hearing the nervous and angry voice behind him, Krillin turned around and spotted a half naked man pointing a shotgun at him.
"I said don't move!" The man's finger nervously touched the trigger as he pointed the gun at Krillin.
"I've already called the cops, you just wait right there and they'll deal with you for trying to rob my shop!" The shop owner yelled out.
"Listen I'm sorry about the door but this was for the overall safety of earth and the universe, I'll be in my way now." Saying this, the Fan in his hand disappeared into his storage and he took a step forward.
*Bang*
Looking at the lead buckshot that seemed to fly at him in slow motion, Krillins hand casually reached into the air and began to catch these lead pellets!
Suddenly Krillin disappeared before reappearing before the man just inches apart
"Looks like you dropped these" Krillin moved his hand to the man's, who subconsciously open it in fear.
Eight lead pellets fell into the man's hand, he stared at them in shock for a second before he felt pellets burn into his hands from how hot they still were. The man was frozen as Krillin patted the man in the shoulders and walked towards the exit.
"When I get the money I promise to come back and pay for the broken door and fan with extra." Saying this Krillin jumped high into the air and the dark nimbus came flying up under to catch him.
'With the Bansho Fan in hand I just need to locate the mountain of five elements!'
