Chapter 128: Strong Enough?
It took the entirety of Benton’s self-control not to burst out laughing at Yang Xiu’s expression when he told her that Yang Ru had passed her. Nothing like good old sibling rivalry to spur his disciples to greater heights.
The boy had really impressed him, though. It took a lot of effort to advance two techniques at the same time so quickly, and killing a rank six beast at Foundation Establishment minor realm one was quite an accomplishment, one that Benton doubted many could make.
He scanned the boy.

Just when he thought he couldn’t be any more impressed by his disciple, the boy exceeded expectations again.
“Kang Lin,” Yang Ru said, “will you go on a walk with me?”
It had been a long, long time since Benton had been in a position to ask a girl on a date, but he remembered how much courage it took to ask a question like that one. The way things were going, great grandkids might be in his future.
He mentally pumped on the brakes. Hopefully, his far future, several years at least. There was no hurry for such a thing.
After taking Yang Xiu back to the Wood with the first trip and the two potential lovebirds with the second, Benton turned his attention to his gains over the last several days.
Techniques had been a loser as no one besides Yang Ru had a significant advancement.
Likewise, cultivation advancements had slowed down quite a bit with most of his sect members getting into the higher minor realms, meaning that each took longer and longer, and the newest villagers not quite hitting the second minor realm yet. Of course, the time between advancements sped a little by so many taking advantage of the Wood’s higher qi density.
The six harvesters, at least, advanced from minor realm four to five.
