Chapter 400: Ripening the Spirit Tree (3rd Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Flowers)

"Who… who are you?" Dales stared at Jiang Hao in shock.

"You're Dales, right? You're a disgrace to the Saiyan people."

"Could it be… could it be you…" Dales hadn't finished speaking when his entire body was instantly disintegrated.

Dealing with a minor player like Dales, Jiang Hao didn't even need to lift a finger.

Below, Dales's five subordinates—Amondo, the Rez Lakase twin brothers, Kakaao, and Daze—realized something was wrong.

They prepared to flee.

But before Jiang Hao, they had no chance to escape.

The moment they moved, they were disintegrated just like Dales—completely erased, dead beyond any possibility of revival.

After eliminating Dales and his crew, Jiang Hao waved his hand again.

A cluster of tiny green particles fell into Jiang Hao's palm.

These were the seeds of the Spirit Tree.

The seeds and fruits of the Spirit Tree are separate.

There were over fifty seeds.

Enough for Jiang Hao to plant on fifty planets.

Meanwhile, more seeds flew in from nearby.

Over forty of them—these were Dales's stored inventory.

Many had already been planted by Dales.

Once planted, Spirit Tree seeds will not die unless forcibly destroyed by human intervention.

But if the planet is unsuitable, the Spirit Tree will stop growing once it reaches a certain stage and will not bear Spirit Fruit.

Because of this, Dales had already wasted several seeds.

This time, he had finally found a planet suitable for the Spirit Tree's growth—Kanaba Star.

For this, he and his men had guarded Kanaba Star for two months.

But unfortunately, their luck ran out.

Jiang Hao and his group happened to pass by and discovered them.

And Dales's actions ended up serving Jiang Hao as a gift.

Meanwhile, Spirit Tree 05, after Jiang Hao harvested its seeds, began to wither and die.

After all, this planet had no energy left.

But Jiang Hao did not rush to leave.

Instead, he planned to conduct an experiment.

Without relying on the Sunlight Ability to draw stellar energy,

Jiang Hao directly activated one of the Four Fundamental Forces—the Strong Force.

He manually forged nuclear energy.

In an instant,

a miniature sun appeared between Jiang Hao's palms.

Though tiny, its energy base was by no means insignificant.

Using Hong Meng to locate the root where the Spirit Tree absorbed energy,

Jiang Hao directly inserted the miniature sun into it.

Then he controlled the flow of energy from the miniature sun into the Spirit Tree.

Of course, to prevent overloading and killing the Spirit Tree outright,

Jiang Hao regulated the energy output.

As vast amounts of energy poured in,

the Spirit Tree, which had been on the verge of death, revived once more.

Its volume began to swell violently, showing signs of further growth.

Soon, the Spirit Tree had grown more than twice its original size.

But Jiang Hao saw no new fruit forming on the tree.

Clearly, this thing bears fruit only once.
