The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 67 The Situation on Both Sides, Further Development of Spirit Control Technique

After hearing about Kahn's experiences, Airo's expression became complex, but ultimately, with a sigh, he condensed all his emotions into just four words:

"Thanks a lot."

At his age, Kahn shouldn't have to bear these things, and if Kahn hadn't gotten involved with him, he might have had a brighter future thanks to his magical talent, instead of being stuck in this quagmire.

Ai Luo felt a pang of self-reproach.

But who could have known things would turn out this way? It just goes to show how unpredictable life is.

"That was indeed too much work! You know I'm not really good at these kinds of schemes and plots, and besides, Ao Zai isn't just ruthless, he seems to have some mental issues too."

Kahn didn't deny it, and went on to complain and rant about it, taking the opportunity to criticize Aozai repeatedly, finally sighing:

"You could say people are forced into things!"

Although he complained, his attitude was much more optimistic and positive than Ai Luo's. He never doubted whether meeting Ai Luo was the right thing to do; such a question was simply brainless.

With a player like Airo at that level, most people would rather die than be able to get close to him, so why would anyone complain?!

Even facing the same situation as before, he felt it was still worthwhile.

Even if he could do it all over again a million times, he would still hug Ai Luo's leg tightly and shout countless times:

Airo is forever a god!

"It was tough, but thankfully the plan was completed smoothly. Looking back now, it wasn't so bad."

"And it will only get better from now on."

He chuckled as he spoke, then his expression immediately changed, and he said to Airo in a serious tone:

"I've thought about it carefully. As a team, we can't rely on individual heroism when doing things. The most important thing is to ensure a clear division of labor and mutual cooperation."

"Uncle Ailu, since you can't provide any real help right now, you'll be in charge of planning from now on, and I'll be in charge of execution."

"Yes, it's perfect."

Kahn gave himself a thumbs up for his perfect allocation plan, while Airo couldn't help but flick him on the forehead, laughing and scolding:

You've said everything you wanted to say!

However, seeing him like this, Airo felt much more at ease.

Since Kahn can still look back on this matter with such a relaxed attitude, it seems that he was not particularly affected.

As for the task allocation he proposed, he eventually agreed, because he himself was not too comfortable letting Kahn handle it alone.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Kahn, but rather that Kahn's opponent was his younger brother, the current Emperor of the Fire Kingdom, Ao Zai!

"We owe a lot to Azura's help this time. I never thought you two could work together to fool Aozai."

When Azura was mentioned, Elo's face lit up with a smile, and he teased her.

"Speaking of which, Azura was also involved in the planning, right? She actually came up with a strategy like the self-inflicted injury, but it does fit her style."

"Huh? Ah, um."

Kahn hesitated, his expression conflicted, but finally gave a vague reply, then abruptly changed the subject:

"By the way, Uncle Airo, how is Zuko doing now?"

"He's doing pretty well right now."

As expected, Ailo's attention was diverted, and the conversation turned to Zuko's recent situation.

Compared to his initial dejected and depressed state, although Zu Kou's personality is now more somber than before, he has improved considerably.

For a period of time, Zu Kou wanted to take this opportunity to search for Er Shu's whereabouts, but this was an unwise decision, and he was persuaded to stop.

They appear to be wandering the world without any supervision, but they need to return periodically to replenish their supplies and report their movements during that time.

Moreover, besides them, there were many other soldiers following them, making it impossible for them to fake it.

After Zu Kou finally cheered up a bit, he began to learn fire control techniques from him. He planned to take this opportunity to temper Zu Kou's impulsive nature and hopefully make him more composed.

The calamity that Zu Kou suffered this time was partly due to this, and in order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, this matter is now urgent.

Kahn wholeheartedly agreed with this.

After listening to Ai Luo's story, he was relieved.

With Aiolos by Zuko's side, this exile journey, which has no end in sight, may be a form of training for Zuko. Hopefully, he can make the most of this opportunity.

"Oh, by the way, he asked me to pass on a message to you."

Airo said:

"I still don't know what I really want, but I won't let myself get depressed anymore. I'll take this opportunity to continue learning about this world and this country. Also, please take good care of Azura for me."

That's what he said.

His words were simple and unadorned, lacking any air of a prince, but the sincerity behind them still made Kahn nod in satisfaction and smile:

"I understand. I'll tell him I will."

"But I didn't expect him to take the initiative to care about Azura. It seems he has improved quite a bit."

Airo glanced at Kahn with a smile, but didn't say anything more.

Then the two chatted about some trivial things that had happened around them recently.

Ailo and Zuko had been wandering around the Xiqihe Temple ruins of the Qihe tribe for some time. The area is now isolated from the world and has returned to its primitive state. Only the unattended corpses tell the tragic story of that past. There's not much to say about it.

Kahn mentioned that Aozora seems to be preparing to groom Azura as his successor and has already started to promote her through this incident.

Airo wasn't surprised by this and instead asked him what his opinion was.

Kahn shrugged indifferently and repeated his previous answer.

"I think you should be the emperor of the Fire Kingdom. Zuko or Azura would be fine, as long as it's not Aozai."

"It's been good for you, hasn't it?"

Airo couldn't help but give him another sharp rap on the head, saying irritably.

For some reason, Kahn had a very weak sense of identity and responsibility towards the Fire Nation, and it had been like this since he was a child. This was the only thing that made Kahn feel troubled and helpless.

Leaving that topic aside, Kahn suddenly remembered something and asked Airo:

"By the way, now that my Spirit Control Technique can traverse between two realms, what should I do next in my training?"

Airo replied calmly:

"have no idea."

"I don't know. Huh?"

Kahn was stunned and looked at Airo in disbelief. This was the first time he had ever heard Airo say the words "I don't know".

"You don't even know Uncle Airo?!"

Airo said, both amused and annoyed:

"You really think I know everything?"

Human talent and energy are limited. My skill in spirit manipulation isn't as high as you imagine, and I haven't devoted myself to its study.

He stroked his beard with a contented air and said:

"Being able to travel between the two worlds is enough for me."

But that's not enough for me!

Kahn was on the verge of tears. "You spent so much money on this, and now you say you don't even know how to do it? You're just making things difficult for me!"

Seeing Kahn's expression, Airo burst into laughter, no longer keeping him in suspense, and said with a smile:

"I can't, but someone else can."

If you wish to pursue further studies, I can introduce you to someone who is a master of spirit manipulation; I myself studied under him for a period of time.
