Chapter 401 Learning to Make Bubbles
"Yes, that's it. The bubble isn't just filled with air; it's mainly made of energy to build that membrane, so that it won't be easily broken by prey."
This morning, Lezhi and the others officially bid farewell to the Lingquan Clan and embarked on their journey to the Hanhai Clan with Ji Lin and Miaoyin, who insisted on traveling with them. Although the underwater scenery was quite beautiful, the constant travel was rather boring, so Lezhi simply pulled Cang Jin aside and asked him to teach him how to make bubbles.
He had seen the Lingquan Clan use it before and really wanted to learn how, and now he finally had the chance.
If it were Lei Xiu who made this request, Cang Jin might have advised him not to waste his energy. But Le Zhi is different. He is not an ordinary terrestrial species. With his second form, Le Zhi can theoretically utilize all the energy of the aquatic race, as long as he can learn it.
Especially after Lezhi completely eliminated the danger of the Shadow Disease from the tribe in just three days, everyone in the Water Tribe already considered Lezhi one of their own. It was just a matter of wanting to learn how to use water bubbles; it wasn't a big deal, so Cang Jin readily agreed.
Even when he was teaching Lezhi, he was more meticulous and patient than when he was teaching the younger members of the clan. He wanted to break down every step and explain it to Lezhi in detail, for fear that Lezhi would be discouraged if he couldn't learn it.
However, his worries were clearly unnecessary. After understanding the principle of energy flow, Lezhi successfully created qualified water bubbles on his first attempt. After verifying that the data of the water bubbles in his hand were good in all aspects, Cang Jin was surprised but also felt it was only natural. Lezhi was so outstanding, of course he could learn anything quickly.
"That's right, that's it. This is the most basic version of the water bubble. Keep practicing and you can try to increase its toughness. When facing different prey, you also need to adjust the intensity of the water bubble you create. But don't rush, you need to explore these things slowly in battle. With your comprehension, you will master it soon."
Having a studious and intelligent student is the happiest thing for any teacher. Even though the teacher only said a few words, the student grasped the concepts perfectly, and the teaching process was incredibly fast.
Hearing Cang Jin's opinion, Le Zhi nodded. He was currently engrossed in learning, and although Cang Jin told him to take it slow, he was the kind of person who wanted to do things as quickly as possible to achieve the best results. Therefore, he did not completely follow Cang Jin's advice, but instead repeatedly pondered how to improve the data of the water bubble.
At the front of the group, Ji Lin and Miao Yin, who were in charge of leading the way, saw everything that was happening behind them. They were not surprised to see that Le Zhi had mastered the Lingquan Clan's signature skill so quickly, but they valued Le Zhi even more in their hearts.
"Miaoyin, what did Lechu say when you contacted him before?"
"What else can I say? That old fox just wouldn't listen to me." Miaoyin spoke with the most beautiful voice in the world, yet her words were quite down-to-earth.
"No, didn't you use your trick?" Ji Lin was a little anxious. He had originally placed high hopes on Miao Yin, hoping that she could persuade Le Zhi to stay in the Water Tribe through Le Chu. No matter which tribe she stayed in, staying in the Water Tribe was better than letting Le Zhi return to the land.
Miao Yin rolled her eyes upon hearing this, her amorous phoenix eyes now like the sharpest daggers, making Ji Lin stammer and dare not say anything more. "Of course we used it. We didn't hold back from the beginning, but who do you think that is? You've dealt with Le Chu before. Don't you know how difficult he is to deal with? The probability of him falling for our trick was already very small. Besides, that guy probably expected us to do this. He was on guard against me from the beginning. How could we possibly succeed?"
For some reason, Miaoyin even felt that Le Chu had improved considerably in this remote exchange compared to the last clan gathering. It was truly astonishing that he had made such great progress in just a few years.
The Phantom Sound Clan's innate ability, Sonic Attack, is the only skill that allows them to attack without face-to-face contact, solely through sound. Of course, he had no intention of attacking allies; besides inflicting damage, Sonic Attack has another crucial function: confusion.
What he discussed with Ji Lin was that he would contact Le Chu and use his innate energy to bewitch her, subtly persuading her to convince Le Zhi to stay with the Water Tribe and not leave. After all, the news coming from their birthplace at the time indicated that while the Mother Tree suggested Le Zhi travel, she also added that everything should be based on Le Zhi's own wishes.
This means that as long as Lezhi is willing, he can leave if he wants to leave, and stay if he wants to stay, and no one can interfere with his decision.
Unfortunately, their dreams were grand, but reality dealt them a harsh blow. Their plan failed miserably from the very first step, completely submerged in the turmoil.
"Alright, let's just give up on Le Chu. Don't even think about trying to persuade Le Zhi through him. We'd be better off saving our energy and working on Le Zhi directly." Miao Yin glanced back suggestively.
Ji Lin turned to look at Le Zhi, who was still trying to release bubbles, and nodded cautiously. "That's right. In the end, it still depends on Le Zhi's own ideas. Our Han Hai Clan is not at an advantage in this regard. We may have to rely on the Huan Yin Clan to support us."
Having a clear understanding of themselves, Ji Lin knew very well that their competitiveness was not strong. If there were a ranking of the three water-type races most popular among terrestrial species, then without a doubt, the Huanyin race would be number one, followed by the Lingquan race.
It's not that the Han Hai tribe is bad; they are undoubtedly the kings of battle among the water tribes. But their problem lies in their excessive belligerence, which sometimes makes them arrogant. Coupled with their naturally fiery temper, to put it bluntly, they have low emotional intelligence.
Unlike the Illusionary Sound Clan, whose unparalleled sonic attacks and mysterious location farthest from the mainland garnered them the most attention from other land-dwelling races, and unlike the Spirit Spring Clan, who bordered the mainland, interacted most frequently with other land-dwelling races, and were known for their generosity and hospitality, the Vast Ocean Clan indeed lacked competitiveness compared to them.
From Ji Lin's expression and his few words, Miao Yin knew what he meant. Looking at the fiery beauty beside him with her long, bright red hair—a striking contrast to the lighter hair of everyone else—she was somewhat speechless.
This guy doesn't actually think that the Rikuo-Yu tribe doesn't like them, does he?
They truly live up to their reputation as the "idiot beauties." Do these Han Hai tribesmen have nothing on their minds but fighting? Every year at the clan's annual gathering, so many land-dwelling species try to befriend them, but they always think it's a provocation. As a result, their reputation as "idiot beauties" has become increasingly distorted and bizarre among the fifteen tree spirit tribes.
He used to think this statement was biased, after all, the Hanhai Clan was very cunning when they fought, and they were not stupid at all, but now, Miaoyin was not so sure.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Miao Yin's eyes... could it be that she was upset that he was putting all the pressure on the Huan Yin Clan? Ji Lin's heart skipped a beat. His mind raced, trying to think of something to make amends, but he couldn't come up with anything for a long time.
Miaoyin couldn't bear to watch his clumsy appearance any longer, so she could only shake her head helplessly. "No, you didn't say anything wrong. I was just thinking about something." Sigh, she didn't know if his slowness was a good thing or a bad thing. Oh well, why bother arguing with a fool?
Their conversation was unknown to outsiders. Lezhi was unaware that these clan leaders, whom he had only known for a few days, were already trying to figure out how to keep him around. Right now, Lezhi was only focused on how high his proficiency with the Water Bubble skill had improved.
Bubbles of all sizes kept being pushed out of Lezhi's palms, quickly spreading around them. The aquatic inhabitants watched as the group came and went in a whoosh, followed by a string of bubbles.
