Chapter 159 Li Ang's Magic Lesson: One Lesson is Better Than Five!
The course was effective, with Sandra Meyer showing the most significant improvement.
Although she had wind affinity, she was in the potions school and no one taught her the correct spellcasting techniques. She also focused her energy on melee combat and potions, so her use of spells was extremely crude.
However, under Li Ang's meticulous and patient guidance, she began to understand that the wind element is not only about violent and fierce impacts, but also about its agility and speed.
Through repeated practice, she can now condense the [Wind Blade Technique], which originally required a long preparation and whose power was inconsistent, into a single breath.
Although it is far from being as refined and substantial as Li Ang's, it is still enough to have a surprise effect in close combat.
Maya watched as a pale blue wind blade shot out from the tip of her wand, slicing through the edge of a wooden crate used as a target on the deck with a "whoosh." She excitedly waved her fist, her emerald eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.
"Excellent, Li Angqing, I am now even more powerful!"
Li Ang smiled and nodded encouragingly: "Your Highness has great talent, but you haven't found the right path before."
This wasn't Li Ang deliberately flattering Maya; she genuinely possessed some talent.
Helena's progress is equally encouraging.
With her solid foundation from the Elementalist school, and under Li Ang's further guidance, her control over the form of the [Water Bullet Technique] became increasingly refined.
She could even try to break it down into several smaller water bullets for area-of-effect attacks.
Helena felt the water magic that moved with ease in the surrounding space, and her gaze toward Li Ang was filled with gratitude.
Rudik's light-based support spells became increasingly fluid, and the [Holy Light Shield] was formed faster and lasted longer than before.
Even Captain Eric and several members of the Eighth Squad, after listening to Li Ang's techniques on energy compression and the tips on guiding mental power, felt that their understanding of their usual spells had deepened, making casting spells easier and more effective.
Captain Eric couldn't help but sigh to Leon, "You're wasting your talents being a captain. You should really be teaching at the Elemental School."
Besides Li Ang's magic lessons, another person who won everyone's praise in the past few days was Li Ang's attendant, Nelson.
This blond boy displayed a level of intelligence and diligence far beyond his years.
He took good care of Li Ang and his teammates' daily life and meals, always providing them with tea, towels, or snacks during breaks.
Moreover, he seemed to have a strong interest in the structure and navigation of airships, and would ask the old captain for advice whenever he had free time, and he could quickly help with some small tasks within his ability.
Even Celia, who always had very high standards, expressed her envy to Leon when Nelson served her a cup of herbal tea with a sweetness that suited her taste.
"Such a clever follower is hard to come by."
On the afternoon of the eighth day of the voyage, everyone gathered on the foredeck as usual.
Just as Li Ang finished explaining a spellcasting technique and everyone was practicing, the weather suddenly changed.
Almost without warning, large swaths of leaden-gray clouds surged in from the distant horizon.
The dark clouds arrived very quickly, and the previously gentle airflow around the airship suddenly became violent.
The biting wind, like an invisible giant hand, slammed hard against the hull of the "Skylark".
The airship shuddered violently, emitting a tooth-grinding screech of wood scraping together, and its massive hull tilted uncontrollably to one side.
Caught off guard, everyone on the deck swayed.
Helena gasped and stumbled, about to fall, but Elisa quickly reached out and pulled her up, preventing her from falling.
Maya reacted extremely quickly; she instantly lowered her center of gravity, regained her balance, and warned, "Everyone, lie down!"
Olivia was dozing against the ship's railing when the sudden rocking startled her awake. She grumbled and looked up.
At the very moment when this chaos first appeared.
"Disperse."
A clear and steady voice rang out. Li Ang appeared calm, pressing his right hand lightly against the air in front of him.
A gentle cyan force field spread out from him, like an invisible giant umbrella being unfurled amidst a raging storm.
The powerful airflow that was enough to tilt the airship was gently smoothed out by an invisible hand as it touched the edge of the force field, turning into gentle swirling currents that slid past the sides of the airship.
The violently rocking boat quickly stabilized, and everyone on the deck regained their footing, with only the howling wind around them proving how bad the weather was.
After a period of learning and exploration, Li Ang finally mastered the casting principle of [Gentle Breeze Barrier].
At this point, he could directly unleash the Wind Domain without relying on the item of the same name.
Of course, the spell's effect is much weaker than the upgradable [Gentle Breeze Barrier], but its casting speed and portability are top-notch.
At this moment, Captain O'Debbie rushed from the bridge, his face filled with tension and apology: "My esteemed sirs, I am truly sorry, but we are about to enter the outer area of the Thunder Mountains. The weather in this airspace is like this; it changes unpredictably, often with sudden strong winds and turbulence. For your safety, please return to your cabins to rest."
Li Ang withdrew his hand, and the invisible force field around the airship quietly dissipated.
He turned and nodded to O'Dwyer: "We'll go back now, Captain O'Dwyer. Safety first, everything is up to you."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir!" Seeing that the wizard was so easy to talk to, Odebiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
Li Ang turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone heard what the captain said, let's go back to our cabins. Nelson, go and see how dinner is going."
"Yes, sir!" Nelson immediately responded and jogged toward the kitchen.
Everyone followed the instructions and returned to their cabins.
As evening fell, through the porthole, one could clearly see the sky outside rapidly darkening, with leaden clouds growing thicker and thicker, seemingly within reach.
Occasionally, tiny bolts of lightning flashed across the clouds, accompanied by the faint rumble of thunder.
Li Ang knew that the long voyage was coming to an end, and the real challenge lay beyond the mountains shrouded in thunder and storms.
After another day or so of sailing, the airship encountered severe turbulence several times, causing it to rock violently.
However, Li Ang did not intervene again. Captain Odebiao, with his superb skills and familiarity with the airspace, steered the "Skylark" through the wind and unstable air currents time and time again without any major incidents.
Finally, on the evening of the ninth day after their departure, Li Ang and his team arrived at their destination a day ahead of schedule.
The Lark landed smoothly on the flight platform on the eastern outskirts of the Thunder Mountains.
