A year's time is enough for many things to happen.
For instance, the thirty little beastmen from the Owl Clan who studied with Shengyin can now successfully wield the witch power within their bodies and cast some minor spells.
Having a systematic approach to learning, as opposed to self-discovery, is entirely different. Nowadays, these little beastmen, in terms of witch power accumulation alone, are likely no weaker than the typical priests within their tribes.
Keep in mind, the oldest among them is but eleven years old.
The male beasts of the Owl Clan have also greatly improved their overall strength. The longer the time passed, the more they could feel the changes in their bodies and power.
Now, they could hunt enough food for the entire clan in just one day, and beastmen who had tasted the benefits of strength devoted more time to practicing their cultivation techniques.
This was a virtuous cycle.
