The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 119 Kahn vs. Booby: A Battle Without Holding Back

After falling for a short while, the pitch-black surroundings suddenly became bright, the space suddenly opened up, and the ground was finally visible again.

Kahn spewed flames downwards from his body, slowing his descent. He landed gently and then scanned his surroundings, discovering that it appeared to be a training room. The walls were inlaid with some kind of luminous crystal, giving it a somewhat mysterious feel.

Then, the old man arrived, emerging from the ground just like before, appearing as if he had used earth magic.

Kahn had witnessed the art of earth manipulation before. Both Kori and her mother were earth manipulators, and he often sought their advice when they were still in the capital, learning a great deal about earth manipulation. Therefore, he understood just how outrageous the old man's earth manipulation technique was.

Earth manipulation is clearly just a control technique, but the old man in front of him used it to achieve an effect similar to earth-escape magic. This level of control ability is simply superhuman.

He couldn't think of anyone else in Omarshu City besides Bumi who could wield earth manipulation to such an extent.

However, although the old man in front of me had a head of bald, gray hair and obvious age spots on his face, looking at his muscular body, which was just like that of a centenarian, was this really the physique a centenarian should have?

Kahn thought to himself that this was outrageous; the man's muscles were much bigger than his own.

So he could only greet them with slight hesitation:

"You must be Senior Boonmee? I'm Kahn, Uncle Airo sent me to pick you up."

"Good eye and sharp mind, not bad at all!"

Booby marveled at Kahn's performance and tacitly agreed with his assessment, but he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He chuckled and continued:

"We'll talk about serious matters later, let's play together for now!"

After saying that, he started to attack without further ado.

Although he didn't know why things had turned out this way, Boonie's actions were exactly what Kahn wanted, so he smiled and went to meet her.

"good!"

And so, fire and rock collided.

Compared to the incredible skills that Boonmee displayed when they first met, his attacks in the first few rounds of their confrontation were rather conventional, such as throwing stones or creating earth spikes on the ground, making him seem as ordinary as the most unremarkable earth master.

That might be how it appears to outsiders, but Kahn, who was under attack, would never think that way.

Solid and precise—that was his first impression.

Every rock thrown at him, every spike rising from the ground, was incredibly precise in angle, path, and speed. They could even work together to block his escape routes or form an impenetrable net of attacks, leaving him nowhere to hide or escape.

In comparison, the attacks from Kori and even her mother back then were like a child waving a toy around.

Although these are just the basics of Earth Manipulation, such solid basic skills alone are enough to make one surpass most Earth Manipulators.

Truly a master!

While inwardly praising him, Kahn either dodged or used flames to defend himself, completely neutralizing Boomi's relentless attacks. He remained completely at ease, with occasional streaks of flame flying out like shooting stars to interrupt Boomi's offensive. He appeared to be fighting Boomi on equal terms, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.

The fusion of souls made his [spirit] powerful enough to perfectly utilize the functions of his body. The Spirit Control Technique gave him unparalleled perception, while the Fire Control Technique provided him with superb mobility. The combination of the three allowed him to bring the word [flexibility] to its extreme.

If he gets serious now, even the swift and agile Azura would have a hard time getting close to him, let alone the somewhat clumsy Earth Master.

On the other side, Boonie watched in amazement as Kahn tumbled and leaped among the rocks, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, but he muttered to himself:

"You little brat, how come you're even more slippery than a Qi Master? I'll see just how good you are at dodging!"

As he spoke, Bumi stomped his right foot on the ground, and the entire training room seemed to come alive. Countless stones flew out from all directions, like a black swarm of locusts, engulfing Kahn. Such a dense attack was no longer a problem that could be solved by dodging.

Kahn's expression changed instantly, not because these stones were at most enough to give someone a big bag of bullets, but because the dense barrage of attacks reminded him of the rain of arrows that almost killed him that night, giving him a bit of PTSD.

But compared to the haste and disarray of that night, this time it was undoubtedly much more composed.

"Flame - Resurrection!"

Flames erupted, spinning rapidly to form a fireball barrier that covered Kahn's body and deflected all the stones.

Kahn didn't deactivate the Resurrection skill until the barrage of attacks ended, but before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a soft ground beneath his feet. The once solid ground had turned into quicksand and quickly swallowed his calves, leaving him unable to move.

It turned out that the previous barrage attack was just a smokescreen; the real killing move was hidden here. Seeing that Boomi had already pried a huge rock several meters long and wide from the wall, Kahn said helplessly:

"Hey, senior Bumi, I'm just a junior. Is it really necessary to take this so seriously when you're fighting me?"

"I'm just a frail old man. Besides, I've never seen such a formidable youngster as you. Enough talk, take this!"

Boobi lied through his teeth, chuckled, and without a word, threw the boulder at Kahn. If it hit him hard, he would really be turned into mincemeat.

However, while they were talking, Kahn had already been secretly accumulating energy. The highly compressed flame in Kahn's palm transformed into a ball of light, and the constantly changing sphere silently spoke of the danger it contained.

"Bang—!"

As Bumi threw the boulder at him, he also threw out the light orb he was about to unleash. The two collided and instantly produced a huge explosion, causing the entire training room to vibrate and groan, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The rocks were blasted into fragments that flew in all directions, turning into deadly bullets. However, the prepared Kahn immediately used Flame Return to defend against the flying fragments and used the impact of the explosion to escape the quicksand and regain his freedom.

After the explosion, Bumi emerged unharmed from underground, cursing and swearing:

"You crazy brat, you dare talk back to me? You really went too far, you almost scared the soul out of me!"

Hearing Boonmee's words, Kahn gradually calmed down from the excitement of the battle. Looking at the horrific scene before him, he scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly:

"Um, well, actually this is the first time I've fought so unrestrainedly, I'm a little excited, haha."

Unfortunately, after mastering the Heat Control Technique, he essentially gained the attribute of being able to specialize in attacking fire masters. Since the magic masters he usually faced were mostly fire masters, his battles were exceptionally easy, and he rarely had to go all out.

This battle with Bumi finally gave him a sense of freedom to fight, which made him a little impulsive.

However, recalling that extremely risky decision he had just made, Kahn felt a sense of déjà vu, and then, in a moment, he suddenly realized something, and his whole body froze—

Isn't this Azura's fighting style?!

Oh no, am I being led astray?
