Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 711 - 307: The Moving and Flawless Gem
Northern First District, behind Yuanting Academy.
The wind in July gently blew, comfortable and not clingy. Hexia sat by the lake in a white dress, her hands slightly brought together to form a triangular space, with snow-white fragments floating in her palm.
The slightest breeze passed between her palms, and the fragments rotated in the wind, producing a tinkling sound. The girl's eyes were closed, with a faint azure crown feather mark on her forehead.
Time quietly passed, and not far from the lake a few birds with pristine white feathers swam under the lotus leaves occasionally pecking at small fish, or diving into the water to play, and then popping their heads back up. They were similar in size to swans with an elegant stature, and their beautiful crown feathers easily reminded one of divine birds from myths.
As noon approached, the snow-white fragments in the girl's palm gathered and then shattered, continuously rotating, merging and breaking apart as if simulating an extremely complex formula model.
Eventually, the particles changed into light blue Light Sand with a sharp crackling of ice, dissipating into the wind, and the girl also opened her eyes, blinked, and then stood up.
At last, I've learned it, Tilan inwardly sighed with emotion, and then raised her palm into the wind, making an empty grip. A pale blue Ancient Sword appeared in her palm.
Holding the sword, she effortlessly waved it, and a boulder a hundred meters away slowly slid down, revealing an immaculately smooth cut surface with no audible sound or marks in the middle.
With a loosening of her hand, the pale blue Ancient Sword disappeared, and then looking towards the passing clouds in the sky, her other hand made a simple gesture in the air before lowering it. The clouds in the sky looked no different, but a few minutes later, as the air currents mingled, a barely visible rift and displacement appeared in the middle.
Azure Bird's Inheritance: Thousand Transformations and Winds Sword (Legendary)
This was one of the High Rank swordsmanship techniques from Azure Bird's Inheritance that is skewed toward the later stages. It has a high difficulty in practice, often requiring a specific Transcendent Profession related to wind to be combined with it for mastery. Its characteristic was being colorless and shapeless, changing with heart, and extremely sharp.
Even for Tilan, it took two months to gradually master this technique, marking it as the most time-consuming Transcendent skill she had learned to date. Compared to this, it took her only two weeks to learn its peer technique, Azure Bird's Inheritance: Sky-dyeing Verdant Sword (Legendary), and it is said that the equally difficult Azure Bird's Inheritance: Cold Mountain Flying Immortal Sword (Legendary) took her only five days.
Indeed, it's about finding something compatible with one's own disposition, Tilan thought. She wasn't very good at dealing with the ethereal changes of myriad whimsy; however, if she were to learn secret techniques and skills related to extreme calm, absolute stillness, and seals, she could pick them up extremely quickly.
Secret techniques related to space and time typically pose a high difficulty for most people because they involve very abstract concepts and the Transcendent formulas are not fixed, which is why few people can master them. Yet, with respect to such secret techniques, Tilan felt as if she was born to learn them, finding no trouble at all in her studies.
After becoming gradually familiar with this newly learned sword technique by the lakeside, the girl collected her thoughts and then turned her gaze toward the large birds swimming in the lake nearby. She waved her hand, and the pristine white-plumed birds took flight, then flapped their wings and flew to her side, hovering in the air.
Radiant Feather Sequence 5: Azure-Eyed White Kite (Perfect Condensed Bead Level)
An evolved form of Radiant Feather Sequence 4: Light Feather Bird, compared to the latter, which excels in healing and protection, it added mastery over wind and air currents, significantly enhancing flight ability and allowing for faster support on the battlefield and survival in melee combat.
As she stroked the few grown Light Cotton Birds in front of her, the arc of their long necks felt very comfortable to touch. Tilan carefully examined the condition of these five fellows.

Although they were at Sequence 5, these five fellows definitely couldn't match the combat strength of the giant spider and the two snake dragons. Their strengths lay in protection, healing, and support on the battlefield; plus, they had just entered the advanced stage, so it would take some time to consolidate their foundation further.
Speaking of which, Mel's Grey Dust Crystal Cat seems to have advanced to Sequence 5 as well. When there's a chance, it would be good to let these five White Kites spar with the Grey Dust Crystal Cat; without real combat experience, one can't be fully at ease.
Over the past two years, she had been busy with various matters inside and outside the Academy, and although she hadn't neglected her studies, she hadn't had the ample time to take her few companions into real battles.
However, once she gets through these few months and the production of Grey Dust Crystal gradually increases and stabilizes, she should have it much easier.
After playing around with the large White Kites for a while, Tilan got to her feet, let the five of them carry on with their activities, and then she headed towards a valley nearby, where a trail led to the Cold Pool inside.
Come to think of it, she hadn't visited that teacher for a while now, having been really busy lately.
Passing through the mist-enshrouded valley trail, she crossed an invisible barrier, and suddenly the scenery opened up before her.
Although it was summer outside, this place remained cold, with ice flowers floating on the water's surface and a faint mist rising from the pool.
Arriving by the lake, the girl looked at the clear bottom, where that light blue Ice Crystal Coffin still lay. After thinking for a moment, she then jumped into it, accompanied by the bone-chilling water as she swam to the bottom.
The pale blue and white Ghost Princess slowly emerged in the water, looking at the approaching Hexia with an indifferent gaze, somewhat puzzled as to why the student would dive to the bottom.
After Hexia swam to the Ghost Princess's side, she discreetly shifted her gaze, looking towards the sealed Ice Crystal Coffin, only to have her view blocked by the Ghost Princess.
