Feng Jun watched Little White chop trees for a while and felt a little discouraged. With the same axe, Little White was far more efficient than he was.
Cultivation really was an uncompromising benchmark. No matter how many cheats he had, he was still far inferior to a Golden Core Peak cultivator in a direct contest of absolute strength.
