The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 122 Victory or Defeat, Strength or Serious Matters

After Kahn chose to confront them head-on, the subsequent situation took everyone by surprise.

In the head-on battle, Kahn not only did not fall into a disadvantageous position, but even turned the tables and suppressed Cooper for a time!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dazzling streaks of light pierced the night sky, carrying an unstoppable momentum. Upon colliding with objects, they transformed into awe-inspiring flames, roars, and impacts. Neither flowing water nor solid ice could withstand them, and they were all shattered in the explosions.

Kahn, who had been struggling to hide, suddenly found himself on the offensive, while Cooper retreated to a defensive position. The rapid shift in the situation caught the attention of the two onlookers.

"This kid's got some skills, this is going to be fun! Haha!"

Bumi chuckled, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice; the battle had truly brought him many surprises.

On the other side, Zhengzheng frowned deeply, watching Kahn launch continuous attacks on the field, and slowly said:

"Fireball Technique, this is an extremely dangerous fire control technique. The most skilled in it are a family of assassins from the Fire Kingdom, but their Fireball Technique is quite different from the one Kahn is currently using. This..."

Although the Fireball Technique is extremely powerful, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks with ease, it is also extremely difficult to control. It requires a considerable amount of time to guide the energy during its execution and demands complete concentration. The slightest carelessness can cause the energy to detonate prematurely, resulting in self-harm.

It is powerful, but it has many limitations, is difficult to master, and is also very dangerous to the user. Therefore, very few people can use Fireball, and even fewer are proficient in it.

Even the assassin family that was proficient in this art set up many restrictions in order to conquer the Fireball Technique; it was by no means an easy task.

He can certainly use fireballs, but they are basically useless in battle. He can only use them occasionally to break through roadblocks or to attack strongholds.

However, when Kahn cast the Fireball spell as if he were casting an ordinary fire control spell, Zhengzheng suddenly began to doubt her own understanding.

Is it really possible for someone to cast Fireball so effortlessly?

Or perhaps, Kahn wasn't using Fireball?

How strange!

As he pondered deeply, Zhengzheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Kahn used Fireball, of course, but with some slight differences.

As Zhengzheng said, the orthodox Fireball spell is extremely powerful but has many limitations. Even he cannot avoid it. The charged attack in the last battle with Bumi, which could even shatter boulders into fragments, was the true power of the Fireball spell.

Of course, if Zhengzheng had been there that day and seen how short the channeling time of the Fireball spell cast by Kahn was, she would probably be even more puzzled.

Thanks to his powerful soul and spiritual strength, he was naturally superior in terms of precise control. After learning the Spirit Control Technique, his abilities became even better. Even dangerous control techniques like the Flame Burst Technique were handled with exceptional ease by him.

Even so, the charging time for casting Fireball is still quite long, making it difficult to use in high-intensity battles.

As for the one he's using now, it's a simplified version he's adjusted. By weakening its power, the charging time has also been shortened, finally making it usable in normal combat.

Although the weakened Fireball spell no longer possesses the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, it is an excellent weapon against water and ice at this moment. When used in conjunction with other spells, it can even create a terrifying scene resembling a bombing zone.

On the other side, Cooper, who was at a disadvantage, actually remained calm and composed. The bombs that flew towards him seemed dangerous, but they were all accurately blocked and did not hurt him at all.

However, the current situation has already surprised him enough.

He intended to test Kahn, originally just to see how long he could hold out against him. He never used his full strength, but even so, he never imagined that the battle would turn out the way it did.

This kid is definitely something.

While I may acknowledge it, it wouldn't sound good if word got out that a grandmaster and a mere youth were evenly matched.

Let's leave it at that.

The next second, Cooper's aura suddenly changed, and his movements changed accordingly. He opened his arms wide and pushed outwards with all his might, melting the glacier beneath his feet and instantly creating a huge wave tens of meters high, which crashed down on Kahn like a tidal wave!

"!"

The sudden and drastic change caught Kahn off guard. In his haste, flames erupted from his body as he tried to escape the attack range, but just as he rose into the air, the waves accelerated and reached him, like a giant hand slapping him back to the ground.

Fortunately, in that instant, he transformed the flames into [Flame Return to Heaven], successfully blocking the attack and escaping unharmed.

After the successful strike, the waves dissipated, fell back to the ground, and reformed into glaciers, leaving only Kahn, who had just gotten up from the ground, looking blankly at the now-defunct Cooper.

What does that mean? Suddenly unleashing a powerful attack, then running away?

You old man, you have no martial ethics, you resort to underhanded tactics, don't you?!

But Cooper couldn't hear Kahn's frantic inner turmoil. After stopping, he appeared nonchalant, stroking his long, thin, gray beard as he said:

"Your skills are not bad, hmm, I'll pass you."

Well, although he suffered a loss in silence, getting those words was enough, so Kahn bowed and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

In addition, after these two restrained exchanges, he gained a better understanding of his current strength.

Their combat experience and ability to respond to situations are far from sufficient, and their understanding of other defensive techniques is also very superficial. In other words, they lack experience and accumulation, which has always been a problem.

These problems had not been apparent because the enemies he had faced before were too weak, but now they were exposed when he faced these grandmasters.

No matter what moves he makes, even if he uses some novel tricks he created himself, Cooper and Boonmi can react quickly; but he can't do the same to Cooper, like the one Cooper just gave him.

However, aside from that, his inherent strength may have already reached the very top level.

He knew, of course, that neither Bumi nor Cooper had used their full strength in those two encounters, but hadn't he himself done the same?

Not to mention how many other "self-created" control techniques he possessed, even the lightning control technique, which he had never shown to the world after learning it, was an absolute weapon of mass destruction.

"By the way, Kupa-senpai, there's something I'd like to ask you."

After passing the test, Kahn couldn't wait to ask Cooper about something that had been on his mind.

"I once found a legend recorded in an ancient book, which said that the Arctic Waterfolk seem to possess a magical water that can heal any injury. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Cooper pondered for a moment and then said:

"You're not a little kid anymore, so try to read fewer storybooks in the future."

"I'm looking at ancient books."

Kahn's temple throbbed; this old man's mouth was truly foul. If he weren't so strong, he probably would have been beaten to death long ago.

"Those are just old storybooks, they're all the same."

Cooper turned and walked towards where Bumi and the others were, seemingly uninterested in the topic. He paused after only a couple of steps, then casually remarked:

"Speaking of which, why did you ask this? Just out of curiosity?"

Although disappointed with Cooper's answer, Kahn still replied:

"I want to heal the scar on my friend's face."

"Scars? What's the point of treating them? You'd better find something worthwhile to do."

Cooper shook his head and continued walking.

Kahn didn't want to waste time explaining the reasons, and followed Cooper away, only replying earnestly as he passed by:

"For me, this is the important thing."

"."

Upon hearing this, Cooper stroked his beard and gazed meaningfully at Kahn's retreating figure, as if deep in thought.
