The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 95 Half a Year, Actions, and the Mother of Face

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Kahn's main task was to learn the art of spirit control, hoping to gain enough power as soon as possible to find the Mother of Faces and then find Ershu's whereabouts.

Even so, because he had to carry out Aozai's missions from time to time, it still took him half a year to learn the skills on and off.

After determining their strategy to deal with Aozai, they had to pay more attention to things when carrying out their missions. Not only did they try to expand their own power, but they also occasionally selected some "talents" for Aozai, just like Yudan, whom Azura had chosen.

As for those who cannot be used by them and are certain to become their enemies in the future, they will naturally be suppressed with all their might and nipped in the bud.

In addition, after May and Terry joined their mission team, the mission became easier and easier. Kahn was even able to slack off during the mission and take some time to continue practicing his spirit control techniques.

Now that the four cardinal directions have grown accustomed to the vibrant life in the human world, they have expressed their willingness to stay by Kahn's side, declaring that they have completely become his Pokémon!

There's not much to say about Aurora and Zuko's quest for the Avatar; they've found nothing so far and are still wandering around.

However, according to Zu Kou, he has gained a lot over the years and has also had more to think about. Only then did he realize that his previous ideas were somewhat naive.

Moreover, seemingly influenced by Airo, he also became an anti-war advocate, believing that the Fire Nation's current actions were extremely dangerous and that many of Aozai's decisions were undoubtedly wrong.

Kahn neither confirmed nor denied this, but remarked that he hadn't expected Zuko to have changed so much, and that traveling abroad was indeed very necessary.

He also wants to travel around!

Getting back to the main point, after half a year of training, Kahn has made great progress in the application of spirit control techniques.

As a means for humans to communicate with gods, spirit control techniques do not have many complicated abilities, but each one is extremely powerful.

For example, talking to animals.

Although most animals lack the intelligence to think and communicate rationally, they are more sensitive to signs of impending danger than humans. Therefore, we can learn from their words where disaster is about to strike and avoid it in time.

Of course, this was just the original intention of our ancestors in developing this ability; how to use it ultimately depends on the individual.

For example, the telepathic brain-penetrating technique that Gurupask used on him.

Unfortunately, the range of this ability is not very large, otherwise Kahn would have asked Gurupask to use this ability to teach him remotely, which would have been quite convenient.

As for the ability to see through people's hearts that Kahn covets, that's a high-level application that can only be mastered after opening the seven chakra points, and he can't count on it for now.

The mental training was proceeding steadily, but he still encountered many problems in the process. For example, the search for Ershu's whereabouts inexplicably became an obsession and an obstacle for him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He's been doing this all these years, and now that things have reached a critical juncture, it's hard not to care.

According to his own speculation, once Ershu's whereabouts are found and the truth of what happened back then is revealed, he might be able to try to challenge the test of opening the seven acupoints.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kahn has finally learned how to find the Mother of Faces, which means that the search for Ershu can finally be restarted!

No need for further words, let's set off immediately.

Sitting on Sifang's back on their journey to Wuyou Valley, Kahn recalled how it had taken him five or six days to travel there before, but now it had only taken him less than a day. This contrast filled him with a sense of感慨 (gan kai - mixed feelings of emotion and reflection).

As he flew over Lach, Kahn recalled the Norren and Norrico couple who had warmly welcomed him, as well as the little girl Gii, who was arguably his half-disciple—a very happy family.

He originally planned to stay a while to visit them, but after thinking it over, he decided that completing this mission was more important.

It's not too late to visit them after everything is over.

Upon arriving at Forget-Worry Valley, he found it as peaceful as ever. However, compared to when he was a novice in spirit manipulation, he could now see more of the unusual aspects of this forest.

The three lakes surrounding the Mother of Face are filled with abundant spiritual energy, which permeates the entire forest, giving it a quality similar to that of the spirit world.

He followed Elo's teachings and entered with reverence and kindness, feeling only peace along the way and encountering nothing unusual.

But if someone enters this forest with malicious intent, all the plants and animals in the forest will immediately become frantic and aggressive until they kill or drive the intruder out of the forest.

Kahn never harbored any ill intentions, but that didn't stop him from gloating and guessing that perhaps Aozai had also sent people to investigate this place back then, only to be left in a sorry state and find nothing.

After entering the forest, he unexpectedly encountered Misu and her brother Rafa again. Rafa's injuries had not yet healed, and he was still wearing a mask.

Kahn said with some surprise:

"Haven't you met the Mother of Face yet?"

Misu shook her head and smiled wryly:

"We've never had much luck, I'm used to it. But Kahn, it's been a long time."

"Hmm, Misu, Rafa, long time no see."

The two smiled at each other, rekindling their small friendship.

Misu invited Kahn to their camp again, this time they moved to another lake, and Misu told them about what had happened to them after Kahn left.

Just as Misu herself said, they were really unlucky.

Since they arrived here, and now, for the second time, they have witnessed the Mother of Face descend five times, but each time they chose the wrong lake to wait in.

The Mother of Face then appeared on one of the three lakes, which is a one-in-three chance. It's not high, but it's not too low either. I made the wrong choice five times out of three. I have to say that my luck is really not good.

Now they are waiting for their sixth chance.

"Kahn, you've come at the right time. The Mother of Face hasn't arrived yet this quarter. You can wait with us, and eventually one of us will meet her."

Misu was relieved that Kahn hadn't missed the opportunity, and she was also happy that she would have a friend to keep her company for the next period of time.

Although she had grown accustomed to relying on her younger brother for support, it didn't mean she didn't yearn for friendship.

Kahn shook his head and smiled mysteriously:

"I still don't have much time to wait this time, but I have other methods prepared."

It seems that this operation will not only help Ershu find out her whereabouts, but also provide some assistance to the siblings. It's killing two birds with one stone, which is not bad.

So, under Misu's puzzled yet curious gaze, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the lake, entered a meditative state, and connected his spirit with the spirit in the lake water.

The lake, as the place where the Mother of Faces descended, still retains traces of her spirit. We will use this as a clue to find the whereabouts of the Mother of Faces.

Just then, Kahn suddenly heard a voice—

"A Spirit Master? It's been so long since I've seen one."
