The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

"Kahn!"

The dinner had just ended when Cora called out to Kahn, who was standing beside her. She introduced him:

"This is my uncle, Wu Nak, the chieftain of the Arctic Water Goodness Clan. He is also a Spirit Master, so he would like to get to know you."

Wu Nak smiled kindly and said:

"People with the same aptitude for spirit control as us are quite rare. This is the first time I've seen a spirit master other than myself, so I was thinking of exchanging ideas with them."

"certainly,"

Kahn laughed upon hearing this:

"As you said, there are very few spirit masters in the world. It's not easy to meet a like-minded person, so we should definitely have a good exchange."

"That's exactly right."

Wu Nak smiled and echoed, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

"It's pointless to just talk about things I don't understand."

Feeling bored, Azura, standing next to Kahn, said to Korra:

"Let's go for a walk together, and ignore them."

"OK!"

Cora readily agreed; she actually really wanted to join the Ice Spirit Festival festivities rather than listen to some boring academic discussions.

So the two left directly, and Kahn said apologetically to Wu Nak:

"Sorry, my fiancée doesn't have much patience, so..."

"It's nothing."

Wu Nak didn't pay attention to this little incident.

His initiative to speak with Kahn, ostensibly for communication, was actually to gather information about Kahn. Some things were simply not suitable to be discussed in front of Cora, and now that they had left, it was for the best.

The two walked slowly down the street, continuing their conversation.

During the conversation, Wu Nak learned that Kahn was not the nobody he thought he was, but a member of the royal family of the Fire Kingdom, which surprised him again.

Because he did not remember having such a name in the royal family of the Fire Kingdom.

However, Kahn seemed reluctant to discuss this, leaving Wu Nak with some speculation.

Was he an illegitimate child?

Returning to the topic of spirit control techniques, Kahn said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Perhaps the Fire Clan and Spirit Masters are not very compatible. There are not many records of Spirit Mastery techniques in the clan. I have only a superficial understanding of many things after piecing them together on my own."

"Fortunately, Cora's spirit control skills are only at the beginner level. If she were to go any deeper, I really wouldn't know how to teach her."

Speaking of this, Kahn's expression was a mixture of relief and worry. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Wu Nak:

"Chief Wunak, since you are also a Spirit Master, could you help me train Kora?"

Kahn's suggestion surprised Wu Nak, but what he wanted was not to teach together.

He smiled and nodded in agreement, saying:

"It would be my pleasure to teach Avatar. However, to ensure that the teaching content is not repetitive and to determine the next teaching plan, may I ask a few questions first?"

"Of course, please feel free to ask."

Upon hearing this, Wu Nak's smile widened. He then proceeded to check Kahn's magical control level and found that, just as Kahn himself had said, his magical control level was indeed only slightly higher than that of a beginner.

However, for his plan, strength was secondary; the most crucial factor was how much the other party actually knew about the situation in the realm of gods and the human world.

However, in any case, a spirit master of this level would not pose a great threat to him, so Wu Nak relaxed a bit.

Then, he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Speaking of which, Lord Kahn, how much do you know about the holy sites at the North and South Poles?"

"Holy Land?"

Kahn looked somewhat bewildered and hesitated before saying:

"I don't know much about it. I only know that these two places exist, but I don't know why they are revered as holy sites. Is there a problem?"

While Kahn was speaking, Wu Nak carefully observed the changes in his expression. Only after confirming that Kahn was not lying did he truly relax.

His skill in controlling spirits was not high, and he knew very little about the secrets of the spirit world, so he posed no threat to his plans.

After reaching this conclusion, he had an even further idea—

To make the other party work for him.

This wasn't about bringing the other party under their wing, but about getting Kahn on their side so that he would be more persuasive when trying to influence Cora.

However, as he just said, Spirit Masters are extremely rare in any era.

After thinking about this for a while, Wu Nak sighed:

"It's truly regrettable; even the Fire Nation has become less documented in this regard?"

"Lord Kahn, although I have no right to criticize the actions of the Fire Kingdom, as fellow Spirit Masters, I cannot bear to see the connection between humans and gods gradually weaken. Therefore, I would like to inform you of some of the responsibilities that Spirit Masters should shoulder."

Upon hearing this, Kahn instinctively straightened his posture, adopting a serious listening posture, and said:

"Please speak."

Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Wu Nak's eyes, and he slowly said:

"The sacred sites at the North and South Poles are actually two passages connecting the human world and the divine world. In ancient times, both passages were unobstructed, and gods and humans lived together in harmony. The Ice Spirit Festival was originally a festival set up for the gods."

"But now, the passage has been sealed by the Avatar, causing an imbalance between the realm of gods and the human world, which has led to the emergence of evil spirits."

"This is one of the few mistakes Avatar has made, and it is our responsibility as Spirit Masters to help Avatar rectify the mistakes she has made and restore balance between the spirit world and the human world."

"I see."

Kahn finally realized what was happening, a smile spreading across his face, but his eyes gradually turned cold as he said:

"After Kora opens the passage between the North and South Poles, and then waits for the day the harmonics converge, the Dark God Vatu will be able to break free of his seal, right?"

"That's right."

Wu Nak nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong. "Wait, how did you know?!"

"No, wait."

After realizing something was wrong, Wu Nak immediately felt a strong sense of unease.

Why did I think it was better for Cora to leave? Why did I so easily believe everything Kahn said? Why did I want to use him further? Why did I so easily let my guard down?

Why did he suddenly become like a different person?

Seemingly seeing through Wu Nak's doubts, Kahn chuckled.

"Acting skills, verbal manipulation, plus a little psychological suggestion—it's a very simple trick."

Although he is far inferior to Azura in terms of acting skills and verbal manipulation, achieving this level of skill is effortless for him under the influence of mind control techniques.

This is only because Wu Nak is also a spirit master, which is why he uses such a cautious method. Otherwise, if he wanted to, ordinary people would have no secrets from him.

This is the terrifying aspect of spirit control techniques.

Wu Nak's face was extremely ugly at this moment. He realized that he had been tricked. The guy in front of him was just pretending to be weak to get information out of him.

He lost, and he lost completely.

but

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"What exactly is your purpose?"
