The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 87: The Difficulty, the Turning Point, Kahn's New Friend

The impact of defeating Zhengzheng on them is far more than it appears on the surface. Even after the initial heated discussions have subsided, it continues to exert its influence behind the scenes.

For Kahn, the biggest benefit was that Aozai continued to relax his guard against him, which gave him more freedom of movement and time, and his plan to go to Dongqihe Temple to learn from a master could be put on the agenda.

But this is not an easy task.

First, although Ao Zai was gradually loosening his control over him, he would never allow him to leave the city alone, so this matter could only be carried out in secret.

Secondly, and most importantly, the first point is how to get there.

As the original home of the Qihe clan, Dongqihe Temple became a forbidden place that people avoided like the plague after the clan was wiped out by the Huolie Kingdom a hundred years ago, and it remains deserted to this day.

Although it is called Dongqihe Temple, it refers to the area located east of the Tuqiang Kingdom and west of the Huolie Kingdom. Its location is closer to the Tuqiang Kingdom's mainland and separated from the Huolie Kingdom by a wide sea.

Traveling by land would require crossing most of the planet, which is obviously impossible; a ship is necessary. Hiring large merchant ships would allow travel between the two sides, but it would be extremely costly and also very easy to be spotted.

More importantly, he wasn't sure how long it would take to learn the Spirit Control Technique, but he figured it couldn't be mastered in just ten or twenty days. At the same time, he couldn't leave Ao Zai's sight for too long.

This means that, just as he wants to learn the art of spirit control, he also needs to ensure that he can travel back and forth between the two places quickly and for extended periods.

This sounds like something that could never be done.

Kahn then realized that in addition to the psychological hurdles, the practical difficulties might be even harder to overcome, and at least for now, he had not found any solutions.

While pondering a solution, Kahn and Azura went on several more missions, all involving arresting rebels. It seemed that Aozai intended to entrust this task specifically to them.

Kahn and Azura were naturally delighted with this arrangement, as it suited their wishes perfectly.

Compared to the first two missions, the subsequent missions were much more uneventful, without any particular twists and turns.

In addition, since Azura would boast to May and Terry every time she returned from a mission, the two girls, who were already bored with their peaceful and dull lives, became increasingly restless.

Some of the rules that must be followed at school and at home can sometimes be quite oppressive and restrictive for them.

At this point, Azura finally revealed her true intentions:

"Actually, as my best friends, I hope the three of us can continue to do some fun things together. I don't think you'd mind helping me out, right?"

After only a brief consideration, the two readily agreed to Azura's invitation.

"certainly!"

"Well, staying at home all the time is indeed quite boring."

If it were the old Azura, the two would have avoided her at all costs, but the current Azura doesn't seem so scary anymore.

As long as Azura doesn't target them.

Thus, Azura's team gained two more formidable warriors.

As childhood friends, May and Terri are well aware of each other's situation and can trust each other in most cases.

Although neither May nor Terry are magic users, their strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. Not only is Terry the one who created the Qi Interception Technique, but May also has a skillful use of hidden weapons. Ordinary magic users are no match for them.

The tacit understanding that the three had developed from growing up together allowed Azura to command the two with ease, and they demonstrated results that satisfied Azura during their first mission.

More importantly, neither May nor Terry are fools, which is commendable.

Although the two women appear to be rebellious, they are still bound by family, class, and other social orders. If you want them to join Azura and Kahn's plan to overthrow Aozara, you must give them a convincing reason.

Therefore, the key point once again revolves around finding Ershu's whereabouts.

To find Ershu, one must first find the Mother of Faces; to find the Mother of Faces, one must master the art of spirit control; and to master the art of spirit control, one must find a way to travel quickly and secretly between the two places. The logic is quite sound.

Faced with the challenge of "how to travel back and forth quickly and covertly," Kahn and Azura discussed it for a long time but couldn't find a relatively effective solution, which was somewhat frustrating.

Kahn considered asking Airo to help request Master Gurupask to come to the Spirit Realm as well, so that he could study directly there, thus saving him countless troubles.

Unfortunately, just as Airo had predicted, they did not find Gurupsk when they searched for the Avatar at Tokiwaji Temple. It seemed that Gurupsk did not want to see them, and Kahn's plan was thus shelved.

Frustrated and confused, Azura decided that if she couldn't think of any other way, she would do as she had said before: burn down the Mother of the Face's residence to force her out, beat her into submission, and then forcefully find out Ershu's whereabouts!

Although he didn't know the true extent of the Mother of Faces' power, Kahn absolutely did not want things to come to this.

However, recently, things have taken a turn for the better.

Here's the thing: Kahn finally made friends with gods in the spirit world, and there were four of them at once.

Perhaps it could also be said that there are five.

"Xiao Dong, Xiao west, Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei!"

Upon arriving in the spirit world, Kahn loudly called out the names of his friends.

The call disregarded terrain and distance, pierced through any boundaries, and reached clearly into the ears of his friends.

In the spirit world, all objective laws and matter of reality become blurred and illusory; only the power of the spirit is the only reality.

The longer he stayed in the spirit world, the more he could feel its mysteries, and unknowingly, he became more and more adept at using the "spirit" in the spirit world.

Unfortunately, this only applies to the spirit world; in the human world, he remains a novice in spirit manipulation techniques, only capable of astral projection and traversing realms.

Ailo is similar.

Upon hearing Kahn's call, four small black dots soon appeared in Kahn's vision. Then, their figures gradually became clearer, transforming into four beautiful, purplish-red birds that looked exactly alike.

To be precise, they are not birds, but deities that look like birds.

The evidence lies in the fact that they have antlers on their heads that ordinary birds do not have (they protest that they are dragon antlers), fish fins on both sides of their cheeks like mermaids, and excessively long tail feathers that seem to serve no purpose other than beauty.

But Kahn was truly impressed by their beauty.

With their petite, sparrow-like bodies, beautiful purplish-red feathers adorned with pale red, fantastical and ethereal cuteness, and intelligent, dark eyes, they were the ultimate killer for anyone who valued appearance. Kahn was instantly captivated the moment he saw them.

So cute!!!

"Kahn, you're here!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Has it been a long time?"

"It hasn't been that long, but it also feels like it has been a really long time."

"Did you see him yesterday?"

"We met yesterday, didn't we? How long ago was yesterday?"

"Yesterday is yesterday."

"Anyway, we've been waiting for you for ages!"

The four gods chattered and gathered around Kahn, expressing their simple joy.

Surrounded by such lively sounds, Kahn couldn't help but relax and a smile appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Friends, I've caught a cold again (covers face).

To be precise, it's not that I've caught another cold; it's that my last cold got better but not completely, and then it got worse again.

The main problem is, who knew the temperature could drop by more than ten degrees overnight?!

Yesterday the temperature was close to 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, but this morning it dropped to 13 degrees! 13 degrees!!!

I don't understand, this summer is just so weird.

However, seeing all my roommates suffer and hearing the constant sniffling sounds, I felt a little comforted.

In short, I wish you all good health, please take care of yourselves, and stay away from colds!

Of course, don't worry about whether I have COVID-19. There haven't been any cases in our city, and none of my roommates have left the school. Thank you.
