Chapter 135: FED Up
Since the spirit beasts were currently located far enough from the village to not even register with Benton’s spiritual sense, his sect members were not in imminent danger, meaning he did not need to keep a close watch on them. Instead of spending his time at the village plaza or in the Wood, he decided he much preferred his own land, the sect grounds.
No longer being on full time guard duty and having finished his major preparatory tasks didn’t mean that he was taking it easy, however. He spent another day creating spirit coins and imbuing arrows, adding two hundred fifty of the former and one hundred twenty-five of the latter. Shortly before the sun sank below the horizon, a notification popped up.
Host’s Disciple, Wan Ai, has reached Qi Gathering: Minor Realm Nine.
Host is awarded one Sect Point.
Host has 786 Sect Points Available.
Go, Wan Ai. Not that he thought she’d have any trouble absorbing the pill, but he was glad to see the confirmation all the same. It was nice to have another sect member nearing Foundation Establishment. After her, Xun Wu was actually the closest to advancing, and he hadn’t quite reached the seventh minor realm yet.
There was no need to go congratulate her again. He’d leave that task to Zou Tian. Wouldn’t want to interrupt them again.
Or maybe disrupting those congratulations was exactly what he should do. Even if society considered them adults, they were still only teenagers. Which made the fact that the two of them basically lived together really awkward now that he thought about it.
Benton frowned. Should he deal with that situation? He had no idea. Maybe Zhong Wen could give him advice on the subject. Having a talk with her about the subject was a priority as soon as all the beast tide related projects were complete.
Dismissing the potentially unpleasant consequences of teenage love from his mind, he returned to considering his next steps for protecting the village when another horrible thought occurred to him—the arrows he’d made certainly were powerful enough to kill a rank six, but what about beasts who were so fast or agile that they could just dodge them?
Shoot.
He should have considered that possibility earlier. It was, after all, a driving factor behind one of his attack skills.
