Noon.
Warm sun shining.
In the back garden, a large group of Guardian Beasts surrounded Elder Ape.
Elder Ape held a bowl and a spoon, sipping the soup in small sips.
The surrounding Guardian Beasts were all anxious.
When Snowy and Gangzi had their breakthroughs, it was simple, fast, and steady.
Why was it always like this with Elder Ape?
Even Blackie, that guy, wolfed down his food when it was time for his breakthrough.
But Elder Ape acted like a gentleman, sipping one bite at a time...
It's maddening!
Elder Ape felt a bit embarrassed when he saw his little friends staring at him.
But habits formed over years were not so easy to change overnight, were they?
Blackie couldn't help it: "Elder Ape, let me teach you a method... "
Elder Ape raised his head and looked at Blackie standing on the head of the Wilderness Hell Dragon.
Blackie said, "Put the spoon on the ground."
Elder Ape hesitated for a moment before placing the spoon on the leaf next to him.
