The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 136 Explanation of Spirit Control Techniques and Northern Tuofu

"What do you mean, 'look at her'? Where are we going?"

The group followed Kahn, looking completely bewildered, down a road that led nowhere. Kahn led the way, offering a brief explanation:

"This is a technique of spirit control, which allows one to perceive the location of spirits directly without regard to the existence of matter. Only those with the talent of spirit control can learn and master it."

Takara exclaimed in surprise:

"Spirit control techniques? Besides the four major spirit control techniques, there are other spirit control techniques?"

Kahn laughed:

"In fact, spirit control is the oldest control technique that belongs to humankind itself. It existed long before the Lion Turtle bestowed the four great control techniques upon humankind."

"In short, it's just more of this mystical stuff. I've had enough. Can't they leave us ordinary people a way to survive?"

Soka, an outsider to the mysteries, expressed complete indifference to these things, and muttered a speechless complaint.

Kahn continued:

"Those with the talent of spirit control can see deities, have their souls leave their bodies, and travel through the spirit world. This is the most basic application of spirit control techniques. Speaking of which, you should know about the spirit world, right?"

Upon hearing this, An Ang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said:

"I know! I've had out-of-body experiences several times, including seeing my past lives and even visiting the spirit world once. It turns out I have a talent for controlling spirits!"

"The Avatar is a bridge connecting humans and gods; it would be strange if someone didn't have the talent to control spirits, right?"

Kahn laughed, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.

Master Gurubask once told him that he was waiting for the Avatar to return and that he would guide the Avatar to learn spirit control.

Is Avatar about to appear right before him?

So Kahn said to Anang:

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something about you."

"The person who taught me the art of spirit control is Master Gurupask. When he was young, he was a good friend of one of the masters of your Kiwa clan. He was entrusted by the Kiwa clan to teach you the art of spirit control and has been waiting for your birth at the East Kiwa Temple. I guess he is still there now."

"If you have the chance after this, go to Tokiwaji Temple."

"I will definitely go."

Upon being suddenly informed of this, An Ang's expression became somewhat complicated, as it involuntarily reminded him of how many people had been anticipating his arrival for the past hundred years, yet he had been a full hundred years late.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become somewhat heavy, Katara immediately said:

"I remember that Dongqi Temple is located in the eastern part of the Tuqiang Kingdom's continent, which fits our itinerary perfectly. We can go and take a look after we arrive at Yonggu City."

Besides having An Ang learn the four types of magic as soon as possible, the purpose of their journey was also to go to Yonggu City, the capital of Tuqiang Kingdom, to discuss with the emperor of Tuqiang Kingdom the matter of jointly attacking Huolie Kingdom.

Kahn also said:

"That's true, and I can start teaching you some basic spirit control techniques now, so you can learn faster when you study under Master Gurupask later."

Katara laughed upon hearing this:

"But that means An Ang will be very busy from now on. He's almost found a teacher for Earth Manipulation, so it's time to start learning Fire Manipulation as well."

Suddenly overwhelmed by such a huge pile of courses, An Ang instantly forgot his sadness and said with a bitter face:

"There's so much to learn! Can you really manage all that?"

Kahn smiled and uttered a classic quote from his former school teacher:

"The hardship will only last for these few months. Just grit your teeth and get through this period. Things will be better soon after we defeat Aozai."

An Ang thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

"Alright, we've arrived."

As they spoke, the group finally arrived at their destination, a super luxurious manor covering thousands of square meters, with two guards standing watch at the main gate.

Soka was somewhat skeptical, because the blind bandit didn't seem to fit into the manor, but Anang, looking at the winged flying pig emblem on the gate, confirmed:

"I've seen that flying pig in my imagination; this must be it."

"Let's sneak in and take a look anyway!"

"Let's go."

Just as Anang and Kahn were about to sneak in from the side, Soka suddenly said:

"Wait, why do we have to sneak in? An Ang, you're an Avatar, can't you just visit directly?"

"Uh," ×2

Anang and Kahn were both taken aback, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

That seems to make a lot of sense.

Because he was frequently pursued by the Fire Nation's army, An Ang almost forgot that he had a considerable reputation in other places. Meanwhile, Kahn mainly lived in the Fire Nation's capital, and the Avatar existed only as a legendary wanted figure, so he was completely unaware of his reputation.

So the group visited through the main entrance and were warmly received by the host, who prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

Only then did the group realize that the family they had visited was a northern family, the wealthiest family in the city and even in the entire country.

At the dining table, Blind Bandit, or rather Northern Tove, sat quietly in her seat, looking like a dignified lady, a stark contrast to her arrogant demeanor during the competition.

"Shentong Anang, thank you for your visit, which brings honor to our Northern family."

The hostess, Poppy, held An Ang in high regard and treated him with great enthusiasm. The head of the northern family, Lau, also had a friendly demeanor and asked An Ang:

"In your opinion, how long will this war last?"

An Ang replied:

"I want to defeat the Fire King before the end of summer, but before that, I need to find a master of Earth Manipulation."

Upon hearing this, Tofu frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lao recommended an acquaintance sitting on An Ang's left:

"Master Yu is the best earth manipulation teacher here, and my daughter Tuofu has been learning earth manipulation from him since she was a child."

This Master Yu was the same Master Yu who had been handing out flyers everywhere promoting his martial arts school. An Ang was clearly not interested in him, but instead looked at Tuo Fu with great interest and said:

"Then she must be a very good Earth Master; perhaps she'd be good enough to teach others!"

Suddenly, An Ang cried out in pain, which was a bit puzzling, but An Ang, who had been keeping a close eye on Tuofu, was certain that she was the one causing the trouble.

Although somewhat confused, Lao still answered:

"I'm sorry, she's just a beginner."

"And as you can see, my poor daughter is blind, thin, and fragile. To protect her from harm, we have no choice but to keep her hidden at home; no one else knows she exists. So please don't tell anyone after you leave."

Hearing her father say this about her, Tof's face darkened, and she silently lowered her head. Meanwhile, Kahn, who had been listening quietly, finally raised an eyebrow, realizing that things were not so simple.

An Ang, still unwilling to give up, wanted to say something, but at that moment, Kahn suddenly spoke up and asked:

"You said you hid your daughter's existence from the world to protect her, but did you consult her opinion on this decision?"

The moment this question was raised, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed instantly.

Tofu suddenly looked up at him, not understanding why he would ask such a question.
