Time passed once more, quite a few things happening.
The ducks all broke through one after another –
The first to reach the late stage was Spring Rain, followed closely by Zimu who seemed to have sprinted. Silver Feather broke through her bloodline and reached the peak grade, breaking through to the late stage right after them. Behind her came Soft Breeze whose bloodline was at the high grade, then Wind Claw who broke through and finally Fire Breath who was the youngest of the children.
Mother Duck also reached the late stage after several years of delay behind them, though she wasn't worried at all. She didn't yet give birth to a new duck, but told Fengyu that it could feel there was something growing, it would still take a few years.
It was a bit of a surprise that every duck was able to reach the late stage – he knew his abilities were quite good, but he had guessed they would need at least twenty more years of cultivation to break through their bloodline and reach it.
