The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 187 Zu Kou, capable of standing alone

His current position is very awkward.

Azura's Fire Nation and Elo's White Lotus Cult—he had his lover on one side and his family on the other, and he couldn't bear to part with either of them.

Fortunately, Ai Luo understood his predicament and did not stop him or make him make any choice. She just hoped that he could stay a few more days.

Because Zu Kou is coming back soon.

Kahn readily accepted. He also wanted to see Zuko, not only because of their relationship, but also because Zuko was facing the same problem as him, and he wanted to ask Zuko how he solved it.

The next day, Airo and the others continued their meeting, but they didn't invite Kahn, leaving him aside.

Although Ai Luo didn't say it, he knew what it meant. His attitude was currently ambiguous, and he definitely couldn't attend the White Lotus Sect elders' meetings until he was sure he would stand on the White Lotus Sect's side.

This was fine too. Kahn himself was happy to have some free time. He was even too lazy to go to the White Lotus Sect's headquarters. He just stayed in the back mountain to discuss spirit control techniques with Gurupask and play with the four little guys from the east, west, south, and north. He was very content.

However, Kahn's absence in the meeting room struck An Ang and the others as odd.

An Ang asked:

"Where's Kahn? Isn't he coming?"

Airo smiled and said:

Whether Kahn will come depends on his personal wishes. Before that, please do not disclose the contents of the meeting to Kahn.

Anang and the others were a little confused by what he said, but Ai Luo did not explain further and began the meeting.

Firstly, to explain and continue discussing their counter-offensive plan with An Ang and others.

Secondly, it was to arrange for An Ang to learn the art of horsemanship.

With internal divisions and political instability plaguing the Fire Kingdom, coupled with constant external harassment and dispersed forces, they unanimously believe this is a good opportunity to counterattack and have set their sights on Yonggu City.

Yonggu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is self-contained and has abundant logistical supplies. As long as Yonggu City can be liberated, they can use it as a base to organize a counterattack.

They are already making active preparations. Zhengzheng and Zukou have been working tirelessly for this operation, gathering as much combat power as possible to strive for a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

The arrival of An Ang and his group was a timely help, adding a glimmer of hope for the successful implementation of their plan.

As for Kahn, that variable, let's leave that aside for now.

As for the training of An Ang in martial arts, it was naturally to improve An Ang's combat ability as much as possible before the operation.

Now, all of An'ang's magic teachers have gathered here: water magic teacher Kupa, earth magic teacher Tofu, spirit magic teacher Gurupask, and even more fire magic teachers, including Ailo, as well as Zhengzheng and Zuko who are on their way.

Although it's not expected that he can learn everything and evolve into his complete form in such a short time, it's easy to imagine that An Ang will definitely not have an easy time during this period.

Among the Superpower Squad, only Tofu, the Earth Manipulation teacher, had an easier time. Katara had to learn Water Manipulation, and Soka somehow became a disciple of Master Piandao, focusing on learning swordsmanship.

"What about Kahn? Isn't he a fire master too? Can't he teach me?"

Anang asked Ai Luo with a puzzled look.

The next moment, he felt something was amiss and quickly added:

"I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that Kahn said before that he could teach me fire control."

"It's alright, Kahn is also my student."

Airo waved his hand dismissively and laughed:

"It would be best if he were willing to teach you, after all, his magical abilities probably far surpass mine."

"But if you want to learn from him, you'd better hurry, because I don't know how much longer he'll stay here."

A disciple of Airo? His strength far surpasses Airo's? I wonder how long he'll stay here?

Anang and the others exchanged bewildered glances, and Kahn seemed to be growing increasingly mysterious in their eyes.

Soka couldn't help but ask:

"So, can someone explain to us who Kahn really is? We don't even know why he's wanted!"

Upon hearing this, Airo gave a wry smile and said:

"That's a long story."

-

Kahn was unaware of what was happening in the meeting room. He had just parted ways with Gurupask and was heading towards the White Lotus Cult's headquarters when he sensed the presence of two familiar [spirits].

Upon entering the White Lotus Sect's territory, no one stopped him along the way, but he was still met with many stares. Kahn ignored them and continued walking forward. Sure enough, he saw two familiar figures, Zhengzheng and Zukou, who had just returned.

A year has passed, and Zu Kou is much taller than he remembered, and much more composed.

He laughed and exclaimed:

"You traitor!"

"Kahn?!"

Hearing someone call his name, Zu Kou turned to look at the source of the sound, then instantly broke down, his eyes widening in surprise as he exclaimed:

"Kahn, is it really you?!"

"Who else could it be but me?"

Kahn walked over with a smile, then nodded to Master Zhengzheng beside Zuko and greeted him:

"Master Zhengzheng, it's been a long time."

"have not seen you for a long time."

Zhengzheng was also somewhat surprised to see Kahn, but Zuko was more excited.

"Where have you been all year? Not a single word from you!?"

"It's a long story."

Kahn smiled, not immediately explaining, and Zuko quickly calmed down, saying:

"Wait for me a moment. I need to go and explain the situation to Uncle Airo and the elders first. We can have a proper talk after I finish what I'm doing."

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

Kahn, Zuko, and Zhengzheng arrived at the conference room, then stood outside the room without going in.

This action startled Zu Kou for a moment, and Zheng Zheng also glanced at him. Zu Kou opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and entered the conference room with Zheng Zheng.

After waiting for a while, a commotion suddenly broke out in the meeting room, and everyone gradually came out, indicating that the meeting had ended.

However, after An Ang and the others came out, they looked at him strangely for some reason.

That look in his eyes seems familiar.

But before he could think further, he saw Cooper walk out of the meeting room and head towards him, saying:

"Speaking of which, you left something with me, didn't you? I almost forgot."

"What is it?"

Kahn was taken aback when he heard this. How come he didn't remember such a thing?

However, when Cooper took a pendant-like object out of his pocket and handed it to him, he suddenly realized what it was, and then exclaimed with delight:

"The sacred waters of the Arctic Oasis!"

Cooper raised an eyebrow and said:

"You have good taste. It seems I don't need to explain its uses to you."

"No need, thank you!"

When he went to pick up Cooper, he asked Cooper about the spiritual water. Cooper didn't say anything at the time, but instead mocked him.

He didn't know why the spiritual water was suddenly given to him, but in any case, he should thank Cooper properly.

"What happened?"

Zuko had just come out when he heard Kahn's words of thanks, and asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing."

Kahn swung the pendant containing the spiritual water in his hand and smiled at him:

"As a belated birthday gift, how about I give you a flawless face?"

"Um?"

After a while, Zuko finally understood the whole story. He learned that Kahn had been keeping the injury on his face in mind and had been looking for a solution. When he finally got the bottle of spiritual water from Cooper, Zuko was deeply moved.

"Kahn, thank you."

He wasn't very good with words, and in the end he could only offer a simple thank you, but Kahn could sense it.

Kahn chuckled and playfully punched Zuko in the chest, saying:

"What are you thanking me for? Aren't we friends anymore?"

Then he turned to Katara beside him and said:

"Katara, I remember you can use hydrotherapy, right? Can you help me?"

"Oh, um, of course, no problem."

Katara was somewhat puzzled as to why Kahn knew she could use hydrotherapy, but she didn't refuse his request. The brotherhood between Kahn and Zuko also touched her deeply.

But at that moment, Zu Kou suddenly spoke:

"Thank you, Kahn, but it's alright."

".?"

Kahn immediately looked at him, and Zuko touched the scar on his face and smiled:

"I used to loathe it, seeing it as a stain on my life that I wanted to erase. But now, I prefer to see it as a wake-up call for myself."

"Whenever I see it, it reminds me not to become like Ao-jae. If I remove this scar, I worry that one day I will forget my original intentions."

"So, thank you, Kahn, but it's alright."

"."

Looking at Zuko's smile, Kahn saw his relief and understanding of his past, as well as the frankness in his tone.

You've truly become capable of standing on your own, Zu Kou.

Kahn then smiled with satisfaction, shook his head, and put away the pendant containing the spiritual water, saying:

"Okay, then I'll keep it for now. You can change your mind anytime."

"Absolutely not, I promise."
