Chapter 43 A New Road

Kahn and Azura are sparring.

Although it was supposed to be a sparring match, to onlookers, the two seemed to be fighting a life-or-death duel, with every move deadly and merciless, making the audience tremble with fear.

Unlike their childhood, when they primarily engaged in close-quarters combat, as they grew older and their physical abilities improved, the power of their fire control techniques became increasingly formidable, and their battles evolved from warriors brawling each other to mages exchanging blows.

If an ordinary fire master were to witness their battle, they would probably be dumbfounded with astonishment. The power of fire control techniques in the hands of these two is on a completely different level from that of ordinary fire masters!

The two were about five meters apart, and the raging flames collided and merged, scorching the earth. The temperature of the surrounding environment was also raised by the intense flames, and even the light was slightly distorted.

Azura casually waved her hand, sending a blue arc of fire several meters long straight towards Kahn's face. Kahn remained unfazed, his right palm transforming into a blade as he cleaved the arc of fire in a vertical strike. However, several waves of fire followed closely behind, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and enveloping Kahn from all directions.

Kahn raised his hands above his head, and a massive wall of fire rose up, blocking all the attacks. The yellow and blue flames collided and merged, creating a magnificent spectacle that concealed the endless killing intent beneath, a beauty that was mesmerizing.

Azura's boundless fire came and went quickly; the blue flames soon dissipated, but the wall of fire that Karn had erected remained standing.

Immediately, Kahn changed his movements, and the wall of fire also transformed, falling like a soft waterfall of flames, rushing towards Azura in a mighty torrent.

Azura lowered her center of gravity, clasped her hands together, and pushed forward forcefully. A powerful pillar of fire erupted, like a sharp knife, easily splitting the waterfall of flames in two, and continued its forward momentum, seemingly about to cut Kahn in two.

However, Kahn had disappeared from sight at some point.

Azura was startled, suddenly feeling a gust of wind from behind. She quickly ducked to avoid it and rolled forward to create distance. When she turned around, she saw Kahn maintaining his palm-outing posture without making any movement, just smiling at her.

"Tsk."

Azura withdrew from her fighting stance, spat in annoyance, and swung her arm to throw a fireball at Kahn, which he casually swatted away.

She knew she had lost. If Kahn had really attacked her from behind, the scene would have been very ugly, whether he used fire control or qi interception techniques.

The intense use of fire control techniques had exhausted a great deal of energy. The lingering heat around them caused Azura to sweat profusely, her mouth to dry, and she to gasp for breath.

But she didn't care about any of that, and walked up to Kahn directly, asking, "How did you get behind me?"

Kahn gave the answer:

"I am hiding in the Firefall; you should be able to find me if you look closely."

"Tch, all they know is these underhanded tricks!"

Azura then kicked him again in annoyance, muttering dismissively, as if she herself didn't like using such tricks in battle.

To be honest, Kahn learned these skills from her.

"Hmph, all in all, I won this time!"

Kahn smiled smugly, only to be glared at again by Azura, who said disdainfully:

"You were just lucky; you've lost way more!"

"Ha, you think I believe you? We're about even, and I should be the one winning more."

"fart!"

The two bickered, but Kahn, as the victor of this battle, didn't care about the loser's venting. He walked to the stone steps not far from the training ground, picked up the water bottle, and poured two cups of water.

The water in the kettle, which had already cooled down, was warmed up again by their fire control spell, and the air in the training ground, which served as the battleground, was scorching hot, as if it were being baked by the summer sun.

Turning around, he found that Azura had also come over. Kahn handed her some water and simply sat down on the stone steps to rest. Azura also sat down next to him without any hesitation.

When sparring with Azura, one must go all out, and after a fierce battle, both of them are almost exhausted.

Looking at the training ground ravaged by flames, it is at times like these that one can truly feel one's own progress.

His battle with Azura started as a forced draw achieved through his physical advantage, but as he gradually became more willing to confront her head-on, he lost more often than he won. Now, the battle is evenly matched, and he has truly felt the terrifying power of his own talent.

In terms of combat power, Airo commented that he was already more powerful than most fire masters in the world, firmly ranking at the top of the pyramid, and undoubtedly one of the strongest fire masters of the younger generation.

The other one is Azura.

So he couldn't help but sigh:

"This talent is truly frightening even to myself; it's just like me!"

"Ha, you certainly have a natural talent for shamelessness and narcissism."

Azura chuckled, still unable to let go of her earlier defeat, and declared:

"You can only be smug for now. Once I learn that move, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Upon hearing this, Kahn couldn't resist his curiosity and subconsciously asked:

"That move? Which move?"

Azura immediately smiled slyly, looking as if her wicked scheme had succeeded:

"you guess!"

"whispering sound."

Kahn spat in annoyance, but his curiosity was slowly growing, like a cat scratching at his heart.

He is the kind of person with a strong sense of curiosity, and he dislikes and finds people who only say half the story the most annoying.

So he feigned disdain and said indifferently:

"It doesn't matter, you can't beat me no matter what."

"Heh, say what you will."

Azura remained unmoved, her light smile still on her face, clearly having seen through Kahn's provocation.

Finally, Kahn couldn't help but guess:

"It should be about a hidden advanced application of fire control techniques, right?"

Because of Ai Luo's advice, he has been diligently practicing fire control techniques over the years, laying a solid foundation. Although his mind is full of all sorts of wild ideas, he has always refrained from trying them out easily.

Now his mastery of fire control is becoming more and more refined, and his understanding of fire and fire control is becoming more and more profound. Although he has not tried it, he is certain that fire control is definitely not just as simple as simply manipulating flames!

Upon hearing Azura's words, he suspected that what she had obtained was something other than fire control!

"Who knows? Maybe I'm studying earth manipulation techniques."

Azura remained noncommittal and continued spouting nonsense with her eyes wide open.

"you"

Kahn took a deep breath and decided to use his trump card:

"Azura, don't you really think your personality is terrible?"

As the saying goes, the truth is the most hurtful!

Come on, let's hurt each other!

"Huh?! Are you looking for a beating?!"

"You started this fight!"

"Who cares about you!"

The two started arguing again.

Perhaps Kahn himself didn't realize that after living in this world for two years, his personality hadn't matured over time; instead, he was becoming more and more like a child of his age.

His words and actions were unconsciously influenced by those around him, and he gradually integrated into the world, no longer as out of place as he had been at the beginning.

Of course, this influence is mutual; those around Kahn were also affected by him to varying degrees.

It's worth mentioning that Kahn is now much taller than he was back then. Although he still has a bit of a boyish look, he is still quite dashing and handsome, and has been confessed to by many girls at school.

Kahn, of course, refused. He wasn't a pervert, so of course he wouldn't be interested in children.

In the afternoon, Kahn greeted Elo at the door with anticipation, for he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Now that his magical control level has roughly met Airo's requirements, the path ahead is clearly laid out before him—

That path is called the Fire Master!
