The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 123 Casual Conversations on the Road, Gains and New Goals

Having successfully met up with these three grandmasters, Kahn's mission was complete. The next step was to travel to the Fire Kingdom to meet up with Elo.

Ailo, on the other hand, had already arrived at their agreed meeting place—a small town separated from the capital of the Fire Blaze Kingdom by only one mountain, a secret stronghold of the White Lotus Sect.

Not only them, but Ershu and Zukou's group will also gather here, and the plan will officially begin when everyone is assembled.

Despite the existence of the four directions, it still takes several days to travel from the North Pole to the Fire Kingdom. Apart from the initial novelty of flying, the rest of the time is rather boring, so the masters began to chat.

What do the three masters of magic talk about when they chat?

They talked about everything, but the most frequent topic was naturally the discussion of magic control, which Kahn found invaluable.

Kahn considered himself exceptionally talented, but which of the three grandmasters who had already reached the pinnacle of their respective fields of magic control wasn't a peerless genius? Not only were they exceptionally talented, but they had also devoted themselves to the study of magic control for decades. Their understanding of magic control and the knowledge they had accumulated could be said to have reached another level.

Although this wasn't a formal lesson for Kahn, he benefited greatly from simply listening to snippets of conversation between the three.

Among these, his greatest gain was Zhengzheng's explanation of fire control techniques, and he also broadened his horizons regarding earth and water control techniques.

For example, Cooper mentioned that besides the mainstream water manipulation technique, there is another school of thought that indirectly controls plants by manipulating the water within them. BooMei also discussed a branch of earth manipulation called sand manipulation, primarily mastered by earth manipulators living in the desert.

As for the rest, he was still confused. He didn't fully understand the basic earth and water manipulation techniques, so it was too difficult for him to understand the higher-level knowledge that Bumi and Cooper had described.

Of course, he didn't listen in the whole time. Although his understanding of the art of control was not as good as that of the big shots, he had lived in the information-exploding internet age in his previous life. Although it was hard to say how deep his knowledge was, he believed that in terms of breadth, he was no less than others.

such as--

"Metal is also part of [Earth], so can it also be controlled independently to form a specific branch?"

"If the art of manipulation allows you to control the movement of earth and water in the air, does that mean you can make yourself fly by being supported by earth and water?"

"If water manipulation can control the water in plants, thus indirectly controlling them, can the water in the human body be controlled?"

"If water manipulation can turn water into ice, why can't it turn water into hot water?"

Even the three most knowledgeable masters were astonished by Kahn's series of outlandish questions and wild ideas; it was truly baffling how this guy's head could grow so big.

But this also explains why Kahn's fire manipulation techniques always have some strange moves.

"A mad genius, haha, really great!"

Booby chuckled and hooked his arm around Kahn's neck, looking just like his close friend.

Although Boonmee was the oldest and most senior among them, he was the least pretentious. He still retained a playful childlike heart, liked strange and unusual things, and was the one who admired Kahn the most.

"In my opinion, you should also deserve the title of Grandmaster. That kid Airo is good at everything, except he's a bit timid, haha! But he's pretty good at fooling people."

"That kid Elona"?

Hearing Boobi address Airo, Kahn's eyes twitched slightly, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Isn't it normal for Boobi, who is over a hundred years old, to call Airo, who is in his fifties or sixties, "kid"?

Furthermore, the meaning behind Boonmee's words also intrigued Kahn, who asked:

"Do you think I'm worthy of the title of Grandmaster right now? Why do you say that?"

Bumi chuckled and said:

"There aren't that many mysterious standards to earn the title of 'Grandmaster.' Let me tell you the simplest way: just call yourself a 'Grandmaster,' spread the word, and survive. You've succeeded!"

"How about that? Wasn't it easy?!"

Kahn hesitated before speaking:

"It's simple, but it sounds somewhat dangerous and hasty?"

"Haha, opportunity and danger always go hand in hand!"

Then, Zhengzheng spoke up from the side:

"But Master Airo's requirements are very reasonable. Experience and vision are both essential. The ignorant are arrogant, the learned are humble, and only by maintaining a sense of awe towards the art of manipulating can one go further."

"This is especially important for a fire master, particularly for you, Kahn!"

Zhengzheng said to Kahn in a serious tone:

"Your mind is active and your ideas are imaginative, which is certainly a good thing. But precisely because of this, you must pay more attention to maintaining a restrained mindset. Otherwise, if you're not careful, the flames will unknowingly corrode your soul!"

Kahn nodded and replied earnestly, "I will keep that in mind."

Rumors circulated that Zhengzheng had an eccentric and strict personality, which wasn't entirely unfounded. Although I wasn't exactly strict in front of him, I felt a lot like a strict teacher who had high hopes for me. To be honest, I felt a bit of pressure.

"But in the end, it still comes down to strength."

Cooper said dismissively:

"While Master Boonmee's statement is somewhat brief, it is indeed true."

"The title of 'Grandmaster' is something you can self-proclaim without much problem, but to gain the world's recognition, you still need to rely on your own strength. So-called travel and exchanges are just that."

Although Cooper is very sarcastic, his personality is somewhat similar to Boonie's, with a quirky and mischievous side. As long as the person being sarcastic isn't himself, he's quite an interesting person to talk to.

Through their back-and-forth conversation, Kahn finally understood that the title of "Grandmaster" was not as strict as he had imagined, and the standards varied across different races and even different regions.

The various requirements that Airo listed for him were clearly set at the level of the Grandmasters around him, which in other words, almost the strongest level in the world.

However, although he was fooled by Airo again, he agreed with the standards Airo set out this time, and he understood that they were actually Airo's high expectations for him.

Kahn laughed.

Aiming to be the strongest in the world, not just the strongest fire master, but the ultimate fire master, isn't that interesting?

In conclusion, Kahn gained a great deal from the casual conversations during this trip. He not only broadened his horizons and learned more about various magical arts, but more importantly, he set a new goal for himself—a rather interesting, challenging, yet motivating goal.

After this conversation, Kahn became even more eager to explore the outside world.

As long as we defeat Ao-zai.

With such strong anticipation, after several days of travel, Kahn and his companions finally reached their destination.
