In Jiang Nan's memory, the axe in the Tree-Chopping Space had been rusty ever since he crossed over, a veritable tetanus blade.
Now, where was that rust-covered appearance? It was radiating a translucent jade light all over, and Jiang Nan wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but before, holding the axe was completely weightless, like it was real but also unreal.
But now, when he held the axe, he felt a genuine, solid grip on it.
“Interesting, what did the Tree-Chopping Space say just now? Did it level up?”
Jiang Nan was temporarily uninterested in chopping trees, and he looked up towards the chaotic void, unable to resist shouting, "Hey! Is anyone there?"
“Master, the Space Spirit is here to answer you!”
Jiang Nan had just shouted out, not really expecting anyone to respond. After all, in the nine years since he crossed over, he had shouted numerous times in the Tree-Chopping Space, never receiving a response.
However, as he shook his head and prepared to continue chopping trees, a pleasant, ethereal voice filled his ears, causing him to reveal a look of shock on his face.
Space Spirit?!
“Past fantasy novels always said swords had sword spirits, knives had knife spirits, is this Tree-Chopping Space a so-called magic weapon?!”
Jiang Nan's eyes widened, and then he instantly reacted, shouting, "Where are you?”
“Master, I'm in your hand!”
This time, the voice wasn't the ethereal sound echoing through the entire space, but was coming from the jade-glowing axe in Jiang Nan's hand.
“Huh?”
Jiang Nan looked down and his eyes widened again, exclaiming, “You're not the spirit of this space? How could it be this axe?”
“Master, the axe is the core hub of this space!”
The axe's light flickered, as if it was speaking.
A clear and gentle girl's voice arrived, making Jiang Nan even more curious about this Space Spirit.
“Can you manifest yourself?”
Jiang Nan inquired.
“Not yet, Master, you need to raise the Tree-Chopping Space's level to three before I can manifest!”
The Space Spirit replied.
“That's so! What benefits does the Tree-Chopping Space have compared to before after it levels up to two?”
Jiang Nan's eyes flashed with anticipation as he asked.
“The rewards you receive from chopping trees will be doubled!”
The Space Spirit answered.
“Is that the only benefit?”
Hearing this answer, Jiang Nan furrowed his brows slightly.
Honestly, this benefit was alright, but in Jiang Nan's opinion, it was merely alright, barely acceptable.
After all, double rewards were considered pretty good.
But…
If that was the only benefit for leveling up to two, Jiang Nan felt a bit unsatisfied.
“Master can check your panel attributes here in the Space Spirit, and as long as you don't unleash all your aura, then no one will be able to detect your true strength!”
The Space Spirit continued to answer.
“Oh?”
Hearing this reply, Jiang Nan's eyes immediately lit up.
Frankly, in his opinion, this benefit was much greater than the double rewards.
He had been seen through by the Angel Ribekka of the 17th Universe at a glance, and while he didn't feel much about it at the time, the more he thought about it later, the more he felt a little startled.
Because God-level fighters were simply too powerful, and Ribekka, who should be considered weak among God-level fighters, could see through his strength with a single glance.
What if...
He was saying what if, he encountered a Great God, and his Tree-Chopping Space was also scanned?!
The stronger he became, Jiang Nan felt that naturally stronger existences had their own unique methods, and if they saw through his entire foundation, he believed that Great Gods wouldn't necessarily face him peacefully.
With this, Jiang Nan wouldn't fear anyone being able to see through him.
“Are there any more benefits? Just tell me all at once.”
Jiang Nan was quite satisfied with the benefits brought by the level two Tree-Chopping Space.
“Master, the time flow rate within the space compared to the outside world has reached 10 to 1!”
The Space Spirit continued to answer.
“Huh?! 10 to 1?! That means, if I spend a day in the Tree-Chopping Space, then it's ten days outside? And if I spend a year in the Tree-Chopping Space, that's ten years outside?!”
Jiang Nan's eyes widened when he heard this benefit.
Good heavens, this was a huge reward!!!
“Yes!”
The Space Spirit replied.
“Good, very good! In that case, if I stay in here for a year, when I go out, won't I directly have the reward for twenty years of cumulative tree chopping time?”
Jiang Nan's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he was even a little excited to shout out.
This was the real Chosen One's cheat, wasn't it?
“Master, the Tree-Chopping Space's cumulative tree chopping time is calculated from the outside world!”
Just as Jiang Nan was reaching the peak of excitement, the Space Spirit poured cold water on him, instantly stopping his excitement, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch uncontrollably.
However, thinking about it carefully, if it were as he imagined, then it wouldn't take long before he easily dominated this Dragon Ball world.
“No problem, the God of Destruction Exchange Conference is still eleven years away, and in these eleven years, wouldn't I be able to reach Angel-level strength? Don't be silly!”
Jiang Nan was very confident in his growth, believing that eleven years later, he would surely reach the Angel-level strength level.
“Little Spirit, get ready, I'm going to go all out!”
Jiang Nan shook his head, not bothering to think about those irrelevant things, and said to the axe radiating jade light in his hand.
“Master, please!”
The Space Spirit's voice echoed in the space.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
…
Instantly.
The entire Tree-Chopping Space was filled with the sounds of axe colliding with the Divine Tree.
