Chapter 197 Flight Learning
Chapter 197 Flight Learning
However, the energy released by Yueyun was clearly not enough to manifest externally, so Yuezhi seemed to have entered a very mysterious state. He didn't input any written theories into his mind, but his body subconsciously knew what to do.
With a thought, the moment Yue Zhi clearly saw the energy flow trajectory of Yue Yun's body, the energy within his own body immediately began to act, his wings flapping to propel him into the air, and the protective layer formed in one go.
This was the first time Lezhi had tried to fly with a clear mind from beginning to end. With effective and followable steps and a successful implementation, flying again would not be difficult. This is the meaning of learning.
Seeing that Lezhi successfully took off on her first try, a smile flashed in Leyun's eyes. "Very good, that's the feeling. Lezhi did a great job. Next is flying. In the air, you need to learn to communicate with the wind, stretch your body, and not just fight against it. Go with the flow."
As he spoke, Yue Yun demonstrated a 360-degree spin in the air, allowing Yue Zhi to clearly see how his limbs stretched and moved from various angles.
With good teachers guiding him, Lezhi immediately relaxed. Just as Leyun had said before, the sky is a temple of freedom for the winged race, and he needs to learn to coexist with the space.
With Yueyun's personal demonstration, Lezhi quickly learned to fly quite skillfully in the air and even began to try various postures that made him feel comfortable.
Qingze, who had witnessed everything, clicked his tongue in amazement. He approached Qingping, his tone filled with surprise and admiration, "The Lingyu Clan is really good at teaching children, haha. I don't think we were ever taught like this before. We've learned something new today."
“…Nonsense.” Glancing sideways at Qingze, Qingping had to admit that Qingze’s first sentence was correct. “Although the Lingyu Clan doesn’t seem to have any particularly outstanding talents among the fifteen clans, their combat strength has always been strong. That says a lot, okay? Do you think they’re all as stupid as you?”
In layman's terms, although the Spirit Feather Clan doesn't have the same obvious advantage in terms of potential as other friendly races, they have excellent basic education, solid fundamental skills, and a very stable minimum performance level.
If a large-scale battle were to occur that required cooperation among all races, allies like the Spirit Feather Clan would be the most welcome, because they could hold the line no matter what the situation, which is of utmost importance at any time.
"I only knew that the Lingyu Clan taught their children well, but I didn't expect that even a random guard member could be so outstanding, so I just said a few words of admiration!" Qingze felt a little aggrieved after being rebuked.
During their brief conversation, Yueyun's initial teaching work had come to an end. "Very good, that's it. Yuezhifei is doing very well. Keep it up. Joining the team with us will save you a lot of effort. Come on..."
Seeing that Yueyun was bringing Yuezhi to meet them, Qingjin didn't need any prompting. She turned around and hurried away, and Qingze and Qingping quickly followed.
With Lezhi joining, he naturally took the center position in the group. Leyun and Leixiu were on either side of Lezhi, with Leman at the back. The group was like a sharp sword, cutting through the sky and bringing with it a sharp gust of wind that made the treetops sway slightly.
Flying in a group with your tribe is much less strenuous than flying alone. Another important point is that you don't need to spend your energy figuring out directions; you can just keep following the path ahead and fly with your head down.
Adjusting direction and formation is the captain's job. In their team, anyone could be rotated to the front to be the lead bird, except for Lezhi.
Therefore, the subsequent flight went more smoothly than Qingjin had anticipated. Lezhi's addition did not have a significant impact on the team, except that the speed was slower than when they arrived. This was because Lezhi had only just begun learning, and accelerating required a gradual process.
They set off at dawn, and to avoid tiring Lezhi, Qingjin unusually decided to take an extra rest at noon. Sensing the group's slowing pace, Lezhi looked up at Qingze and Qingping ahead, then at Leyun and Leixiu beside her. She didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that the test was about to begin.
Everyone present could stop abruptly while moving at high speed and land perfectly, but that was a bit too much for Lezhi. So Qingjin deliberately slowed down before landing and chose an open grassy area to land slowly first.
The others also landed one after another. Yueyun flew around Yuezhi once, then stopped in mid-air and began to instruct, "Yuezhi, we are going to learn how to land now. Watch Yueman's movements carefully. You can ignore the others for now."
The main reason for this instruction is to prevent Lezhi from being influenced by others. Landing requires certain skills, and everyone has their own most familiar and comfortable method, but that may not be suitable for beginners. The Spirit Feather Clan has extensive experience in raising offspring and has long since summarized the simplest landing method most suitable for beginners.
Mastering this method greatly increases the chances of a successful landing, helps the cub build confidence, and makes it less likely for them to develop a negative attitude when learning other landing methods.
"Okay, I understand." Although Yue Yun didn't specifically explain this to Yue Zhi, people who have been educated for over a decade all have one advantage: they respect authority. Yue Zhi, being a well-behaved child, especially listens to advice. Yue Yun told him not to look at other people's actions, and he really didn't look, his eyes fixed on the already prepared Yue Man.
"Good girl." Seeing Lezhi clenching her little fists and looking serious, Leyun's desire to teach was greatly satisfied.
No wonder Yue Jing, who had long met the standards to join the guard team, still volunteered to become a teacher in the tribe. She probably genuinely enjoyed the feeling of teaching knowledge to the tribe members little by little.
Upon receiving the signal from Yueyun, Yueman stepped back slightly and demonstrated the entire process of a standard landing to Yuezhi from the start of the flight.
"Pay attention to the timing of his folding of his wings and the technique of choosing his landing point. These are the key points..." While Le Man was demonstrating, Le Yun was also busy, explaining to Le Zhi in sync.
After explaining to Lezhi again how to choose the right landing spot and the appropriate time to fold his wings, Leyun turned to ask, "...Well, did you remember everything?"
There weren't many points to cover, and Lezhi nodded solemnly, "Almost, that's about right!"
“Okay, it’s okay. It’s alright if you can’t remember it. Just practice it once and you’ll know it all. The method is very simple, you’ll definitely be fine.” Smiling, she encouraged, “I’ll demonstrate it for you again. Just follow my method, and we’ll be waiting for you downstairs. Don’t be afraid.”
"it is good."
After speaking, Yue Yun nodded to Lei Xiu. He did not use Yue Man's method, but started from the stationary position and slowly recreated the entire landing process from beginning to end.
These two methods differ only in their preparatory movements; the techniques are the same. Yueyun doesn't want Yuezhi to be confined to a fixed pattern from the very beginning of their learning.
Seeing Yue Yun gracefully finish her move and land steadily, Yue Zhi took a deep breath. It was his turn next.
The embarrassing scene of the last landing flashed before my eyes, and I unconsciously swallowed, my palms sweating nervously.
You absolutely have to succeed, otherwise if you fall again, it will be so embarrassing!
