《Strongest Tree》Chapter 2
Advertisement
On the forest where Kence is located a bright spherical thing can be seen slowly entering a tree. The bright light pass through the tree's bark as if it didn't exist at all. If a human saw it they will certainly be shocked and think that what they are seeing is a ghost. After all what sort of thing can pass through solid objects?
After the bright light entered the big tree it started to glow and soon only a light with the shape of a tree can be seen in the originally normal tree
The glowing tree started to shrink, before, the big tree was 10 meters tall but it slowly shrunk into 5 meters tall
The tree then stopped glowing and it now looks like just an ordinary tree although looking at it will make one feel that this tree has more vitality than any tree in this forest or any tree that they saw before
Argh! What's happening? Why is my head aching this much?
Kence slowly opened his eyes or at least he tried, he didn't feel his eyes or any parts of his body but the thought of opening his eyes made him regain his vision and he can now see his surroundings
But the vision he has now is surely weird, a human's visual field is 120° including their peripheral vision but now he can see everything around him like he has a 360° vision instead of 120
*ding* Host' race was changed because of the World's Blessing effect
Name: Kence Russel
Species: Soul Tree
Rank: Supernatural Rank Creature (Level 1: Warrior)
Innate Skills: Photosynthesis, Absorb
Skill Ticket: 1
What is this? Why am I seeing this window like those in the games? Shit is this those legendary Status Screen but why can't I see numerical value of my strength like those in novels?
Kence frowned at this thought
Wait what's with that species? Soul Tree? What is that?
*ding* Soul Tree as its name implies is a tree with a soul. Normal tree does not have a soul and they can only undergo photosynthesis to survive. But if a tree gained a soul the tree will enter the ranks of [Supernatural Being] and gain sentience and the ability to use supernatural powers. That is what a soul tree is
W-where did that voice come from? Things are becoming creepier and weirder now!
*ding* answering Host, I am part of the Voice of the World. For easier identification humans can call us System that the novels they made has
S-system? Now that I think of it this is really just like the system from the novels but seriously a tree?
Looking at my own body I saw a normal looking tree about 5 meters tall and how should I say it, I look so normal! Anyone can mistake me as any random tree in this forest. I thought that being a Soul Tree and being a Supernatural being whatever that means is will make me look umm supernatural like?

Sigh
How can I avenge my parents from those bastards if I am a tree that can't even move? I should be thankful for that World's Blessing or whatever shit but it can at least make me able to walk! How can I leave this place to have my revenge if I am fucking tree!
Woodcutters might even cut me and make me a firewood or paper. But wait seeing this strange window (system) and me being a 'tree' that has sentience and 'soul' does that mean earth become a fantasy world?
A world with magic, a world with law of the jungle, the weak is prey to the strong. If earth is like this now then this version of earth is the perfect one for me
Kence grinned with that thought. If it is the earth before then what can a single human do? Even if he has all the experience in fighting at most his physique will be 2 or let's say 3 times that of a normal person but will that be enough?
The answer is naturally no, even if he is the best fighter in the world what can he do in face of a hundred or even thousands of fighter not to mention them having modern weaponry
But if this world become those depicted in the novels then absolute strength of a single person to crush a whole army is not impossible to have.
"System does the earth change into a fantasy world? Can humans now have the ability to crush the world?" Praying that the system will answer him Kence asked and thankfully the system did not disappoint him
*ding* Host is right, the world now has energy and the creatures on it can now wield supernatural energy and do things that a normal person can't
Kence grinned with the system's answer, he will make sure to have enough strength that anyone who heard his name will cower in fear. He will make sure that no one will mess with him and hurt those who are precious to him again. The pain and hardships that he experienced, he will make those who harmed him suffer million times more of that he experienced
Unbeknownst to Kence, his mentality is changing. Before he is an assassin but he only targeted those who are vile and evil like corrupted politicians but now...
"System what is the best way to gain strength?" He can't wait to make himself stronger now. Does he need to kill monsters to gain experience and level up? If that is the case then he will surely be in a tough spot. As a tree how is he suppose to kill monsters? Now Kence is feeling that being a tree is not good for him
*ding* Host can cultivate to absorb more energy or use the Host's innate skill "Absorb" to absorb the energy of anything as long as it is not resisting or host is powerful enough to absorb despite the resistance. With host level and knowledge these are the only methods that the Voice of The World can disclose for now.

So there is more way to improve strength but my level and knowledge is insufficient. Does this mean that not only do I need to improve my physical prowess but also gain knowledge? Hmm well they say that knowledge is power but how can I gather knowledge if I am a tree that cannot move or interact with creatures with intellect. Sigh. Being a tree is not really a good thing the only good side of it is that I retain my pitiful life
Now the question is how do I cultivate and absorb energy? Is it like those in novels where I need to sense the energy from the surroundings and store it in my body?
I closed my imaginary eyes and try feeling if I can sense energy from the surroundings like in the novels
As soon as I close my imaginary eyes I started to sense a transparent white like vapor thing in the surrounding. Hmm is this the mythical energy, mana, qi, or chakra? It's actually not hard to sense. I tried to will those energy to enter my tree body and some clusters of it moved and enter inside me. As soon as those vapor like thing entered my body I felt more energized like a tree that experienced rain and absorbing the water. I felt myself being strengthen by this energy albeit slowly and almost negligible but at least it is better than nothing
Hmm cultivating is not hard like I though
What Kence does not know is that a normal human will struggle to even feel the energy in the surroundings what more absorbing it was as hard as trying to win the heart of the school belle when you are a fat ugly nerd. But thanks to Kence being a Soul Tree, a natural born [Supernatural Rank Being] he bypass the process of trying and training to sense and absorb energy he can even use it now! For normal humans they have three stages to enter the supernatural rank
First is the sensing of energy, this is the basic of all basic. It is just trying to sense the energy from the environment but from a normal human who lived their whole life in a planet devoid of any energy this is absolutely hard
Second is the absorption of energy, after sensing energy they need to absorb it in their body doing so will make their body stronger at least 2 times better than a normal human
And lastly the usage of energy, you may have stored the energy in your body but you need to be able to use it. Once you are able to use this energy you will now enter the ranks of [Supernatural Being] that has 9 levels and the lowest level is the Level 1: Warrior where in a creature is now able to use energy that may be to attack, defend and other things
After cultivating for a while Kence noticed that some energy that he did not will to enter his body was being absorbed by his body and those energy entered his leaves and roots. Although the amount is lower than what he absorbed from meditating it is still better than nothing!
Noticing this Kence looked at his status window that he willed to show and in innate skills there showed two skills which are [Photosynthesis] and the [Absorb] which he already has some idea on what is it
"System, can you give me a description to my innate skills?" He kindly asked, who knows maybe if he is polite to the system it will help him more
*ding* Photosynthesis (passive) : the ability to automatically absorb energy from the Sunlight. Rate of absorption can be increase through improving the quality of the leaves
*ding* Absorb (Passive/Active) : Passive: the ability to automatically absorb energy from earth. Active: manually absorb energy from the soil that can increase the rate of absorption but can drain the nutrients on the soil which will have a bad effect on the tree. Can also be used to absorb energy from a body containing energy (dead or not resisting)
I can only say one thing and that is fucking awesome!! I mean I may not be 100% sure but humans are not like plants that has photosynthesis right? Meaning they can only increase their energy by cultivating I bet they don't have a passive ability to absorb energy. Hmm being a tree may not be so bad as I though that is if I can gain an attack skill and that is when I noticed on my status screen the skill ticket and as usual I asked the system about it
*ding* Skill Ticket is also called Gaia's Love but the Voice of the World change it to Skill Ticket to make humans understand it more. With Host's Level and Knowledge only basic description of it is available
Skill Ticket: A ticket to Gaia's collection of skills. Can be use to gain skills that is suited and appropriate to Host's situation. Can only be gain when a creature has significant increase on their Strength or Knowledge
So basically this is like a skill point right? And thankfully it said that I will gain skill that is suited for me and what skill is more suited to me than an attack skill that I lack the most!
"System use the skill ticket now!" I excitedly asked the system
*ding* using Skill Ticket/ Gaia's Love to gain a skill
After using the skill ticket Kence saw a rune like leaf that entered inside his tree body to his what he assume is his soul. It's like a book of knowledge suddenly appeared on his mind and knowledge he does not know before flooded his mind. He felt pain but compare to the pain that he felt before this is nothing
*ding* congratulations host now gained a new skill
*ding* gained the skill [Magical Leaf Manipulation]

Join me in the great adventure of ANT TENSEI! . . Status: [Being Re-written/ Discontinued/On Hiatus] 'Final' Chapter: Chapter 14 . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Official Rewrite Notice: _______________________________________________________________ . . . As of May 18th, 2015, the particular version of Ant Tensei now being titled 'Original' was discontinued in favor 'Redux', the official rewrite of the novel. The reason being that I wasn't actually taking it seriously for more than half of the chapters. All of my Fantasy-Styled works were never originally intended for publication, but after a surprising amount of attention during the initial weeks of release on a different medium, the decision was made to develop my Fantasy-Styled works at my professional level. This decision has thus sparked the decision to Re-Launch Ant Tensei as "Ant Tensei Redux". If there are still a number of those still interested in the old version of the story that was written as a way to relieve myself of excess time, then i'll eventually look into reviving the original intent for Ant Tensei Original and draft off an independant series for it under the title "Ant Tensei Original". For now, however, "Ant Tensei Redux" shall be the only version being progressively developed and released. Please share your thoughts on this early version of my original novel, Ant Tensei. There were 14 chapters of Original released before the development of Redux began, the chapter 7.5 special not included. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Overall Status: (Ongoing)
