Now reading: Chapter 8. First Level Up! from Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos., a Action novel by Mortrexo.

Aster looked at Clavel and back at Liu Shu, stuttering. "What the hell was that? That attack can probably cripple even if it takes off-guard."

Even Flor was shocked. If she didn't use her Aether Mana to defend herself, that attack could probably damage even her.

At Level 10, she had 18 points for physique, which was not much more than the 13 points Liu Shu had. Still, that was if Flor stood still and received attacks; with her main attribute, Aether, being 55 points, it was quite impossible for Liu Shu to even face her.

With 55 points of Aether, if Flor attacked, our Liu Shu would probably be uprooted even before she knew what happened. Regardless, the fact that she could potentially damage soone at level 10 while she was at level 1 was already an accomplishnt.

While the Rose fairies spoke with each other, curious about the Tree that could slam a Level 6 River Beaver into the ground, Liu Shu was looking at her System page with her mind dancing in happiness.

[Congratulations on defeating . You've gained 14 Experience Points.]

Why did it make her happy?

Liu Shu's gaze moved on her system and landed on the last line of text.

[Accumulated Experience: 161]

Then, she looked at her level.

[Level: 1 (0/150)]

'161 is bigger than 150!' Liu Shu thought confidently. 'That ans that I can increase my Level!'

For the first ti in her life, Liu Shu was going to increase her level. This made the young Tree ecstatic. 'Let's do it!'

With a single thought, the experience points accumulated in her body started to flow around her.

Flor and the others were about to approach, but they suddenly felt a profound aura spread from the little tree before them.

Clavel exclaid. "She is leveling up!?"

Aster mumbled while feeling the profound aura that spread around. "Great branches above. What kind of little monster did you find, Clavel?"

Even Flor's expression was severe. 'I feel… threatened?'

As a Level 10, all beings under Level 10 should feel like small creatures. That Level was the first of many milestones for a creature. So, if a creature going from Level 1 to Level 2 felt threatening even after crossing Level 10, no matter how small that feeling was, it ant that the creature's tier was far above her own.

Flor's red eyes glead with interest and curiosity. 'Why would soone like her appear in our forest? So strange.'

anwhile, Liu Shu felt extrely comfortable as powerful waves of energy nourished her roots and body. Each ti she poured an experience point into her Level, she could feel her insides being filled with all kinds of energies that were previously slumbering.

From the center of her trunk, her released a soothing and refreshing aura, nourishing not only her body but her soul as well.

Below the soul, as the energy waves moved through the roots, they nourished them and pushed them to grow. The feeling of her roots digging deeper and further into the ground made Liu Shu feel liberated as if this was her purpose. 'My roots… I want to spread them everywhere.'

The feeling of piercing into the moist land below, pushing the rocks aside as her reach grew, fed her most primal instincts as a World Tree. If she had a mouth, she would probably be letting out a hot sigh of comfort.

Her own body also grew, from being two ters tall from base to crown to being about three ters tall. Her roots similarly spread for about 25 ters around her.

Then, her trunk thickened, and the silhouette of a woman beca clearer while her canopy widened and the number of branches increased. The bark was also smoother than before, even if it still had a rough surface. Instead of sharp, now caressing her bark would bell bumpy.

The process didn't last longer than a few seconds, but for the Rose Fairies looking, it felt like a few minutes. The sight of a World Tree increasing in level filled those looking with awe, no matter how large or small the World Tree was.

Finally, the events occurring around our Tree ended.

Curious, Liu Shi looked at her system. If she had eyes, they would've widened in surprise.

[Level Up!]

[Aether 7, Physique 9, Anima 8, Willpower 10, Destiny 100.]

[Natural Resistance Formula has been updated!]

[So Skills Have Been Adjusted! System Hint: Those skills and numbers are marked with an "*"]
