Chapter 115: Letters and Numbers
As soon as the beast was dead, Yang Ru sunk into meditation, going over the fight in his head over and over again. Specifically, he concentrated on his use of Stone Skin to toughen two opposite ends of his body, the part facing the raven and his feet that he dug into the dirt.
He repeated the actions in his mind, feeling it almost click into place. So close. So, so close.
The usage felt off. Good. But not perfect. He’d toughened too much of his foot and started an instant too soon.
In his mind, the little image of Yang Ru corrected his mistake, found others, and corrected those as well.
Finally, finally, finally, it happened.
The image achieved perfection.
He’d done it. Achieved Mastery in Stone Skin.
Yang Xiu would no longer be able to rub that in his face.
He grimaced. No, but he was sure she’d soon find something else, probably reaching Foundation Establishment ahead of him. She had a bit of a lead. Maybe he could sneak in some extra cultivating at night when she was asleep…
Soon after the crisis involving the raven was resolved and everyone either fine or quickly on the mend, Benton received a pop up.
Host’s Disciple, Yang Ru, has reached Mastery in Stone Skin.
Host is awarded two Sect Points.
