“Mr. Whis, Lord Beerus, please take your time. If you want to enjoy some delicious food, come back and visit Earth again.”
In the backyard.
Jiang Nan smiled and waved to the two.
“Farewell.”
Whis smiled and nodded to Jiang Nan, then lightly tapped the ground with his Angel Staff.
Whoosh!
In an instant.
The two soared into the sky, transforming into a beam of light that disappeared from Jiang Nan's sight in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Nan remained in place, staring blankly for a moment before leaving the backyard.
Meanwhile.
In the universe outside Earth.
Inside a beam of light.
Whis chuckled, "Lord Beerus, why are you still pretending to sleep?"
Beerus was still snoring loudly, with a snot bubble forming under his nose, giving the impression of being deeply asleep.
Pop!
Hearing Whis's words, Beerus's snot bubble suddenly burst, and he immediately woke up. He glanced at Whis, frowning, and said, "Whis! That kid named Jiang Nan, something about him feels different!”
“Oh?”
Whis's eyebrows twitched in surprise, "Lord Beerus, what makes that little guy feel different to you?"
“I don't know, it's just… I can't sense any ki from him! Logically, shouldn't he have already stepped into the realm of gods?”
Beerus was quite puzzled.
He hadn't even sensed Jiang Nan when passing by Earth. If not for Whis, he wouldn't even know that a Saiyan like Jiang Nan was hiding on this planet!
“Lord Beerus, that kid named Jiang Nan, should have already stepped into the realm of gods. However, he may only have just stepped in and hasn't progressed very far. As for you being unable to detect his ki…”
Whis’s eyes flickered, delivering a shocking piece of news, “That’s because he has mastered Ultra Instinct!”
“Ultra Instinct…”
Beerus didn't react immediately, calmly repeating the words "Ultra Instinct." But soon, he realized what was said, his pupils constricted and dilated, and a look of shock appeared on his face. He exclaimed, "Whis, what did you say?! This… this guy, has mastered Ultra Instinct?!”
“Yes, Lord Beerus! However, he should not yet have mastered perfect Ultra Instinct. Currently, he only has mastered Ultra Instinct - Sign! But even so, he surpasses countless God of Destructions in this realm!”
Whis smiled and nodded.
“Damn it! How can a Saiyan be so strong?!”
Beerus's frown deepened. He couldn't feel any pressure from Jiang Nan, but a race he disliked deeply was able to master a realm he himself hadn't mastered, which made him extremely annoyed.
“After all, someone who can be chosen by Lady Bardock, it’s impossible for them not to have any talent or growth potential.”
Whis’s eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Lord Beerus, while you are sleeping, can I visit Earth often?"
“What? You’ve got your eyes set on him too?”
Beerus immediately caught the meaning in Whis’s words and looked at him, saying indifferently, "This guy's strength is also pretty good. Coupled with his mastery of Ultra Instinct - Sign, it's uncertain if he could truly become a powerful God of Destruction within a thousand years!”
“Lord Beerus, I just want to find more delicious food for you.”
Whis refused to admit it and said with a smile.
“Suit yourself.”
Beerus yawned and waved his hand casually. He didn’t care about this. After eating his fill, he was genuinely sleepy.
...
Jiang Nan had no idea what was happening in outer space. At this moment, he had entered the Tree Chopping Space and started chopping trees.
Spring comes and goes.
A year passes.
It quickly passed.
On this day in June, Age 743.
It had been a full eight years since Jiang Nan had traveled to this world.
In these eight years, Jiang Nan had grown from a small fry with a power level of only one or two hundred to a level of power that reached eight-tenths of Beerus’s strength. This was not only because of the cheat he had, but also because he was working hard to train!
“Awesome!”
The reward for accumulating eight years of chopping trees was given to him just now.
At this moment, Jiang Nan walked out of the Tree Chopping Space with a radiant smile on his face.
This eighth-year reward was still quite good in Jiang Nan's eyes:
Power increased to eight-tenths of Beerus’s strength, plus beginner-level Time Law.
These were the two major rewards. The other minor rewards were just small things like Super Senzu beans.
For Jiang Nan, this was enough to satisfy him.
It is worth mentioning that half a year ago, Jiang Nan tried to transform into Super Saiyan 4, but for some unknown reason, he failed.
However, he did successfully transform into Super Saiyan Red using his own abilities, and then in the next six months, he mastered the transformation form of Super Saiyan Blue.
Everything went so smoothly. There were no bottlenecks at all.
Jiang Nan thought this was perfectly normal. After all, his power level had already reached eight-tenths of Beerus’s strength. If he couldn't master these transformations, it would be too weak.
“Super Saiyan 4…”
This white moonlight transformation form in the eyes of most Dragon Ball fans was something Jiang Nan envied. Not to mention, he had a bigger vision, which was to combine the bloodline transformation with the realm of gods, giving birth to a powerful transformation like Limit Breaker Super Saiyan 4!
“My next goal is to master the Super Saiyan 4 transformation. I think this world is still based on the Dragon Ball Super world view. Super Saiyan 4 is not as easy as people imagine!”
Jiang Nan took a deep breath. He wasn’t discouraged. The harder it was, the greater the value.
Maybe, when he can successfully transform into Super Saiyan 4, he might be able to directly combine Super Saiyan 4 with the realm of gods, and achieve a major feat unprecedented in history, without waiting too long!
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan felt an unexplainable excitement, wishing to complete his envisioned super transformation immediately!
“By then, I think even if I don’t get the rewards from the Tree Chopping Space, once I complete this transformation I've envisioned, I might be able to reach Beerus’s level!”
Jiang Nan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Speaking of which, his current strength, eight-tenths of Beerus, is also considered to be at the God of Destruction level.
Even compared to someone like Toppo, he wasn't much weaker.
“Things are looking up!”
Jiang Nan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After eight years of crossing over to the Dragon Ball world, the slight pressure he had felt over the years had almost completely disappeared!
