Although Rean said that, it wasn't as if there was no good news. The battles were helping everyone improve their foundations. Breakthroughs during fights were frequent, something that sparring with other sect members couldn't achieve. As Roan always said, life and death situations were what brought someone's greatest potential out. Even Glennia's group was already showing signs of advancing to a higher level.
Poor Malo would probably feel quite sad about that since he had to stay in the sect to 'lead' it. All he could do was go around and battle Stage Four Demon Beasts alone. Well, Poliana stayed back with him, so it wasn't as if he was the only one in that situation.
Rean then passed by everyone and healed the sect members who needed help. He also took some time to clear up their doubts about cultivation since Roan was busy. Rean wasn't bad at it, though. After all, he had been following Roan's instructions for a long time.
