The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 121 The Unfamiliar Water Master, the Test, the Battle

The last person invited was named Kupa, a master of water control from the Arctic Waterfolk.

This Grandmaster, Kahn, is relatively unfamiliar, as the Water Clan has faded from people's sight for a long time.

The Water People are generally based in the North and South Poles and are divided into two major tribes: the Antarctic Water People and the Arctic Water People. Many years ago, the vast majority of the Antarctic Water People were wiped out by the Fire Kingdom. Now, only a small number of remnants remain, roaming the seas to harass and retaliate, but they are of little use to the Fire Kingdom.

However, after successfully conquering Antarctica, the Fire Nation discovered that the region was extremely resource-poor and had a harsh environment. There were no resources to be acquired, and it could even be said that there was no value in conquering it.

Therefore, after painstakingly conquering Antarctica, the Fire Nation voluntarily abandoned Antarctica, and also abandoned its attempt to attack the Arctic, where the environment is similar to that of Antarctica.

The Arctic Waterfolk are stronger overall than the Antarctic Waterfolk, and the Arctic environment is more conducive to their fighting. For the Fire Kingdom, there is no need to waste manpower and energy on a place that is of no use.

The Arctic Waterfolk seemed to have no intention of avenging their own kind. After the Fire Kingdom abandoned its attack on the Arctic, they were content to live a secluded and peaceful life, gradually fading from people's sight.

Nevertheless, Kahn took this operation very seriously, not only because of the important help of the Water Master, but also because of something he had accidentally found in an ancient book.

The Arctic was quite far from their location, and considering the Arctic environment, they had prepared warm clothing and plenty of dry food. Even traveling at full speed, it still took them nearly two days to arrive.

As a deity, Sifang naturally possessed wondrous qualities. No matter how fast it flew, Kahn and the others on its back only felt a gentle breeze and did not feel cold at all; otherwise, Kahn would not have dared to fly like that.

Upon entering the Arctic, one is greeted by endless glaciers and boundless oceans, which are stunning at first glance, but become somewhat tiresome after a while. However, the cities of the Arctic aquatic people still catch everyone's eye.

This is a city made entirely of ice, backed by glaciers and facing the sea. Looking down, you can see the city's intricate waterways, with small boats coming and going on them, which are the main mode of transportation for the city's residents.

A city like a fairy tale.

However, this time they were unable to enter the city. Instead, they waited at a gap on the right side of the city's coast, as agreed beforehand.

As the moon rose, an old man stood atop the waves, riding them, exuding an air of superiority.

"Master Boonmee, Master Zhengzheng."

"Master Cooper".

The masters exchanged greetings, while Kahn took the opportunity to observe the water master in front of him.

This master also looked quite old, tall and thin, with a bald patch on top and long, gray hair on the other four sides, neatly tied up, looking just like Airo's hairstyle.

However, Elo always had a smiling and amiable appearance, while Cooper in front of him looked serious and didn't seem like an easy person to get along with at first glance.

After the three finished exchanging pleasantries, Cooper looked at Kahn, who then greeted him in return:

"Hello, Senior Cooper, I am Kahn, one of the organizers and initiators of this project."

"I've heard of you."

Cooper looked at Kahn with a slightly stern gaze and said:

"Master Airo praised you highly in his letter, but I doubt whether you truly deserve such a high evaluation. I don't enjoy playing house with children, you understand?"

With an undisguised skepticism and a sarcastic tone, but without any malice in his words, Kahn was fairly certain that this was a stubborn old man who might not be a bad person, but whose words were sharp and sarcastic.

Despite being questioned like this, he was not annoyed and cupped his hands in greeting:

"So, what does that mean, senior?"

Cooper's response was as expected; he simply stroked his beard and said:

"Putting everything else aside for now, let me test your skills first. If you can't even handle the most basic moves, then we should call it a day."

We still have to fight, as expected.

Kahn was already prepared, and Boobi, who was standing to the side, clapped and cheered as if he was enjoying the show.

"Hehehe, that's more like it!"

So the two got into fighting stances. Before the battle, Cooper glanced at the moon high in the night sky and said:

"If you mind, we can play at sunrise, but then we won't be able to choose the location; it's all the same here."

Fire magic originates from the sun, while water magic originates from the moon. Therefore, water magic users experience a significant boost at night, reaching their peak on the night of a full moon. Fire magic users, on the other hand, experience a similar boost during the day, especially at noon.

The Arctic region is surrounded by glaciers and oceans, making it the most suitable environment for naval warfare. Cooper clearly realized this, which is why he said that.

Kahn laughed:

"No need. That's how battles are; no one can always be in a favorable position."

Upon hearing this, Cooper raised an eyebrow and looked at him with surprise, saying:

"That sounds nice, but I hope your abilities match your words."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kupa opened his arms, and the glacier beneath his feet instantly turned into flowing water that surrounded him. With a wave of his hand, a jet of water gushed out.

The battle erupted instantly, but Kahn remained agile and easily dodged. He then instinctively tried to rely on his nimble movements to maneuver, but quickly found that it wouldn't work.

Bumi used his terrifying control to bring the originally somewhat cumbersome earth manipulation technique to a new level. But earth is still earth, and in terms of agility, it can never compare with water, let alone water manipulation performed by a master of water manipulation.

If the earth seemed to come alive under Bumi's control, then the water under Cooper's control truly possessed life, sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent and sometimes surging, like waves rising one after another, making it difficult to resist.

Zhengzheng, who was watching from the sidelines, started talking with Bumi. Seeing Cooper's water manipulation technique, Zhengzheng said:

"Master Cooper's magic seems to have improved again."

"Hehe, after all, it's been so long since we last met, it would be strange if we didn't make any progress."

Bumi chuckled. Those who could be called grandmasters were naturally geniuses among geniuses, and there was no reason for them to stop on this endless path of improvement.

He was more interested in the young people on the other side than Cooper.

He looked at Kahn, who was now at a disadvantage, and asked:

"You're both fire masters, do you think this kid still has any tricks up his sleeve under these circumstances?"

Zhengzheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Water overcomes fire, that's the way of nature, especially in this environment. I probably wouldn't be a match for Master Cooper. But if it's just a temporary struggle..."

"I can't be sure. He's a bit special, perhaps."

Although he was a grandmaster who wasn't well-known, he was still a grandmaster after all!

His previously reliable agile movements had now met with a crushing defeat. The continuous flow of water under Cooper's control truly gave him the feeling that there was nowhere to hide.

Kahn admired him, but it would be too early to admit defeat.

Since there's nowhere to hide, then let's not hide!

Fiery Ring!

"Bang!"

In an instant, a huge wave of fire surged from Kahn's body, colliding violently with the attacking water. While generating massive amounts of steam, the fire, which was originally countered by the water, was even pushed back.

Cooper looked surprised, but remained calm. He turned water into ice, erecting a thick wall of ice to extinguish the flames, then smirked and said:

"Wow, looks like the real show is just beginning."
