Chapter 196: Not having talent is also a kind of talent
Qingjin and the others naturally wouldn't get involved in the squabbles among the Spirit Feather Clan, but Lezhi growing wings was no small matter. As the first underdeveloped, disabled child in the history of the Tree Spirit Clan, Lezhi's second growth was truly groundbreaking.
This was significant for the entire tree spirit clan, so Qingjin quickly regained her composure after a brief moment of stunned silence.
"Is it because of the mother tree that Lezhi was able to develop a second time?" This question was asked to Lei Xiu. As the only person who accompanied Lezhi inside, and since Lezhi was still unconscious at the time, Lei Xiu was the only one who knew the truth.
"It should be. I wasn't allowed to watch the specific process, but anyway, once it's over, Lezhi can spread its wings."
There was nothing to hide about this, so Lei Xiu told her everything he had seen and heard in the Land of Conception without reservation. Qing Jin nodded thoughtfully.
Because they lacked a god's-eye view, the two were unaware that Lezhi had already grown wings on his own when he was trapped in the eye of the storm, and that the wings he had now were not even the final version.
It's so absurd that even if they saw it with their own eyes, they would probably think they were seeing things.
"Thank you for the protection of the mother tree!" Qingjin whispered her thanks as she closed her eyes devoutly.
They naturally attributed the credit for Lezhi growing wings to the omnipotent mother tree, and even Lezhi, who lacked that memory, thought so, thus forming a harmless misunderstanding.
The omnipresent mother tree blinked in the unknown space, but it couldn't explain such a small misunderstanding to the children, so it could only accept the credit.
In any case, it has put in a lot of effort in Lezhi's case. Lezhi is still young, and it is not a good thing for him to be too conspicuous. As he grows up, they will eventually realize that all of this is due to Lezhi's own talent, and it only lent a hand.
By then, Lezhi will probably have a better understanding of the power he possesses, instead of being as clueless as he is now, with his biggest worry being that he won't be able to learn flying skills well.
Yes, after showing off her wings, Lezhi was encouraged by Qingze, who had regained his senses, to try flying, but he was still wary of his previous failed landing. After hesitating for a while, Lezhi decided to tell the truth.
Rather than embarrassing himself in public, it's better to give everyone a heads-up beforehand. Given his lack of skill, he might need his friends' help in the end.
"...That's how it is. It's okay when flying, but it's not okay when landing. I don't think I've quite mastered the knack of it yet." Hesitantly expressing his worries, Lezhi's wings flapped unconsciously a couple of times, while his whiskers drooped listlessly, reflecting his mood.
"Ah, this..." For the Windwalker Clan, who have extraordinary talent for flying, Lezhi's question is like asking a PhD graduate to explain a problem to a kindergartener. Qingze and Qingping looked at each other and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to start.
It was a century-old problem for them, but Le Man and Le Yun were already used to it. When it came to teaching children, they were very experienced. After all, they had gone through many trials and tribulations to join the guard team.
It must be said that the Spirit Feather Clan may not have outstanding natural talent, so they actually excel in basic training.
Le Yun took the initiative and whispered to Le Zhi for a while, using herself as an example, she roughly explained to Le Zhi the experience she had summarized when she was learning to fly and land.
"...Anyway, you have to remember that it's normal to have trouble flying and fail to land at the beginning. It's already great that you can fly right away. In our year, there was a kid who didn't even know how to take off at first, and some who finally managed to get airborne only knew how to use brute force and didn't know how to build a protective layer. There were all sorts of problems. You're already one of the best among the kids~"
In the Lingyu Clan's educational philosophy, teaching must be strict, but the attitude must be enthusiastic. When the children do well, they must be praised generously, so that the children will have the motivation to continue learning.
Especially for a good kid like Lezhi, who becomes highly motivated when praised, Leyun showers him with compliments without restraint, and Leman skillfully chimes in from the side.
"Exactly, exactly. Skills just need a lot of practice. When you first start learning to fly, don't be afraid of falling. We all went through that, and now we fly very well. This is a good opportunity for us to practice in real life. When we get back to the tribe, you'll definitely be just as good as those who have been learning for years."
With an encouraging pat on the shoulder, Le Man confidently offered to give Le Zhi flight instruction; he was confident he could do it. He was joking, of course. He and Le Yun could keep Le Zhi on his toes and still manage to crash. If the captain found out, they'd probably be sent back for retraining.
Based on their experience, as long as the child is not afraid of falling and is willing to try, and learns from failures, he will soon master the flying skills, after all, he has the genes of the winged race!
And Lok-chi really took this to heart. With Lok-man and Lok-yun backing him up, Lok-chi wasn't as uncertain about flying as he had been at the beginning. At worst, he could choose a good place to land and try not to fall too hard.
"Hmm, Le Man Le Yun, then I'll leave it to you guys~"
Having made arrangements with his tribesmen, Lezhi's beard fluttered, and his wings flapped joyfully, ready to take flight at any moment.
"Oh right, I forgot about this." Just as Lezhi was about to take off, feeling that she was ready, she suddenly looked down and saw the package in front of her chest. Thinking about her unknown landing journey, Lezhi decided to entrust the fur ball and the chick to Lei Xiu for a while.
"Lei Xiu, I'm leaving the fur balls in your care. You can return them to me after I've learned how to land safely." Le Zhi, who never liked to trouble others, would always choose Lei Xiu as her first option when she needed help.
Moreover, because she decided to open her heart and accept her identity, Lezhi felt less awkward and more affectionate when asking Lei Xiu for help this time.
Sensing the change in Lezhi, Lei Xiu gladly took the package from Lezhi's hands. "Okay, don't worry, I believe you'll learn quickly. Maybe when Maoqiu wakes up, you can give it a surprise."
"Hehe, that's what I thought too." The fur ball has been unconscious for so long, I wonder what its reaction will be when it wakes up and sees that he also has wings.
Thinking of this, Lezhi was already quite impatient.
"Are you ready?" Qingjin and the others were already flying in the air waiting. Leyun looked at Lezhi, who was poised to take off, and asked.
“Okay.” Lezhi took a deep breath and answered loudly.
"Okay, then do as I just told you, feel the energy flow in your body. Think of your wings as your hands and feet. Use your wings like you walk with your feet and move with your hands. Have confidence, you were born with this ability. Begin..."
After repeating the key points, Yueyun deliberately turned to the side and slowed down the takeoff maneuver she was used to, demonstrating it completely to Yuezhi so that Yuezhi would know where to start learning.
Lezhi watched as Leyun leaned slightly forward, his wings fluttering from his genitals, then the flapping motion grew larger and larger. The moment Leyun took off, the protective layer was successfully constructed, and Lezhi even felt he could clearly see the trajectory of the energy flow within it.
