The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 80 New Missions and Unexpected Changes

Kahn continued to rest for the rest of the time.

Occasionally, I would have a small get-together with Terri and Mei, and then continue my research on magic at home.

As a high-level royal secret technique, the Thunder Control Technique is extremely powerful, difficult to learn, and dangerous. Even he and Azura did not learn it smoothly. Their progress was not slow, but it was definitely not fast either.

Because derivative techniques such as Lightning Control, Heat Control, Water Healing, and Plant Control (manipulating plants) are not, strictly speaking, complete techniques.

The four complete techniques of self-control are systematic, with complete learning methods and application moves. In this respect, derivative techniques are far inferior. To call them learning techniques is more like self-exploration.

Furthermore, for certain derivative techniques, the existence of specific moves is indeed unnecessary.

For example, the Lightning Control Technique, which is inherently dangerous, only becomes more dangerous with its complicated moves. It would be better to simply use a seemingly ordinary but unstoppable and ferocious lightning strike.

For example, his thermal energy manipulation technique—granting, altering, and extracting—can unleash endless wonders; anything more would just be flashy and unnecessary.

anyway

Although his progress in learning the Lightning Control Technique was average, he and Azura's mastery of Reverse Lightning Fire became increasingly proficient. They could even pass the lightning back and forth between each other, just like playing a passing game.

At this point, although Kahn wouldn't dare call himself the strongest, he should have no problem earning the title of a civil war god.

During this time, he and Azura consulted some documents, hoping to find more information about the Mother of Faces, and the final result was quite unexpected—

According to one document, the Mother of Faces seems to have some special connection with the evil deity who stole the face of his magical wife.

The authors of the document suspect that they may be related, because their abilities have many similarities: the Face Thief can steal a person's face, while the Mother of Faces can give a person a new face.

However, judging from the legends and records of the Mother of Faces, she is clearly a benevolent goddess who is friendly to humans, while the Face Thief is an out-and-out evil deity. It is hard to imagine that they have any relationship; they are more likely to be enemies.

However, when Kahn recalled the various myths and legends from his hometown, he found that it didn't seem so strange.

What puzzled the authors of the document and themselves was whether these ancient and mysterious eternal beings, such as gods, also possessed the same reproductive ability as living beings, and how they managed to do so.

Getting back to the main point, although they didn't know what use this information was, they still noted it down for now and would act accordingly when the time came.

On the other hand, although the previous self-destruction seemed unnecessary, after saying it, Kahn also realized that it didn't seem like a big deal, so he made up his mind to go to Gurupask to learn the art of spirit control.

This was not only to help Azura find Ershu, but also for his own sake.

As a true human art of spirit control, he had a feeling that it might be the most important art for him.

This time, however, he did not set off immediately because it was not a good time.

Ao-jae's level of trust in him is not yet sufficient to support him staying away from his control for an extended period of time; he needs to settle down for a while longer.

So during this time, he seemed to have returned to his peaceful life. He practiced magic control during the day, played with Azura and the others for a while, and practiced spirit control at night, or went to the spirit world to chat with Airo for a while to relax.

Ailo and his group had already left Hokukiwaji and were heading to Higashikiwaji, which was the location of Gurupask.

The current incarnation of the Avatar is from the Air Clan, and they intend to search all the ruins of the Air Clan Temple to see if they can find any clues. Although they have been doing this work for nearly a hundred years, they have never found anything.

However, this time Ailo and his men came with an army, so they probably won't be able to see Master Gurupask.

As for Zuko, in addition to learning fire control techniques from Airo, he has also started reading books and documents related to the Qi and the tribe. He plans to learn about the local situation in each place he passes through, so that at least these years of travel will not be wasted.

Kahn nodded; it seemed Zuko was recovering quite well.

Besides chatting and discussing with Airo in the spirit world, he also started to try to wander around and see if he could have any adventures.

For example, what if you encounter a powerful and handsome god who is willing to follow you?

However, peaceful days always pass quickly, and suddenly, Ao Zai assigned them another task.

Azura and Kahn exchanged a glance, then stood up and stretched simultaneously, both understanding the meaning behind it.

"It's time to start the activity."

This mission is also aimed at the defected former members of Airo's faction.

For Aozura, sending Azura and Karn would not only ensure the mission's success, but also boost Azura's reputation and force Karn down a dead-end path—killing multiple birds with one stone. There was no reason not to do it.

Kahn had been mentally prepared for this for a long time, and it could even be said that he had been waiting for it. Only by successfully completing the task given by Aozai could he gain more freedom and proceed with the next step of the plan.

However, the objective of this mission is slightly different from the previous ones; the order against Aiolos's former followers has changed from elimination to capture.

It seems their self-inflicted injury scheme has worked its magic on Aojae, which is a good sign for Kahn.

"Although I don't really want to interrupt your innocent smile, aren't you being a bit too optimistic?"

However, Azura immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Why don't you use your little brain to think carefully about what the problem is?"

Now that Aozai has tasted the benefits, it means that Lytton and the others were indeed sent to various mining areas according to the 'plan,' and are still working or have died on the job.

If they were intercepted and rescued on the way or escaped on their own, Aozai would definitely not have issued such an order this time.

Kahn was startled upon hearing this, and immediately began to consider it.

"Indeed. But where exactly did things go wrong?"

Azura shrugged:

"Who knows? You'd have to ask that organization called the Lotus Society. Aren't they in charge of rescuing people?"

Then, she maliciously speculated:

"They couldn't even complete such a simple task as saving lives. It's hard to say what they've been doing all this time. Could they actually be Father's men?"

"If that were the case, we would both be dead by now."

Kahn rolled his eyes at her upon hearing this:

"Also, they're called the White Lotus Sect, thank you."

However, just as Azura said, he should indeed ask the White Lotus Cult what they were doing.
