The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 34: The Story Ends and a Creative Idea

Kahn has been in this world for some time now, and the story of Journey to the West that he told Zuko and Azura has finally come to an end.

"Tang Sanzang was bestowed the title of Sandalwood Merit Buddha, and Sun Wukong was bestowed the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha."

Kahn finally finished telling the story of Journey to the West. After listening, the audience members present felt a sense of loneliness and emotion.

"The Victorious Fighting Buddha, that's so cool."

Zu Kou looked on with longing. Although he didn't know what Buddha was, he felt that the name alone was very powerful.

"Is that all?"

Azura, however, expressed some dissatisfaction:

"That's it? Sun Wukong was actually recruited? I thought he would kill Tang Sanzang, then plot to overthrow the Buddha and the Jade Emperor, and then become the strongest god to rule the Three Realms. Wouldn't that be better?"

"That's not even a story anymore!?"

Kahn remained silent.

Do you even know what adaptation means? It's not about making things up randomly, and it's about explaining things in detail, not just making things up! (Leans back tactically)

Azura was still muttering to herself, lost in her own wonderful imagination:

"It should have been Sun Wukong who subdued all the various forces along the way, made a comeback, and incidentally eliminated the troublesome Tang Sanzang!"

Kahn felt a headache coming on and his hair stood on end. Azura's thoughts were really dangerous, in every sense of the word.

The group exchanged glances and, finding that they were all acting normally, tacitly ignored Azura for the time being and continued their conversation.

"Speaking of which, which character in the story is your favorite?"

Terri raised the question, and then actively answered it herself:

"My favorite is the Queen of the Women's Kingdom. She was so affectionate and beautiful. It's such a pity that Tang Sanzang didn't accept her feelings in the end."

Zu Kou said, "If we accept the mission, we will fail."

"Of course I know! Mei, what about you?"

Without hesitation, Mei answered, "Sun Wukong."

Zu Kou's face lit up with surprise:

Do you like Sun Wukong too?!

"But that's to be expected, after all, he's highly skilled, courageous, resourceful, and dedicated to punishing evil and promoting good!"

Zuko was pleased that Mei had made the same choice as him, but Mei said calmly:

"I also want a subordinate like Sun Wukong. I can entrust everything to him, which would save me a lot of trouble and make me feel very at ease."

"Huh?"

Zu Kou's expression froze. Was Mei's focus a little strange?

"What about Kahn?"

"Of course it's Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven is the most handsome."

Kahn answered without hesitation.

Which boy didn't play the role of Sun Wukong and wield a stick when he was a child? The charm of the Monkey King is undeniable.

Zu Kou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; finally, there was someone normal who shared his thoughts.

Kahn truly deserves to be his best friend!

"Ha, what is Sun Wukong? He was manipulated by the Buddha from beginning to end, like a puppet on a string, and was eventually recruited as his subordinate."

Azura finally returned to normal at some point, interjecting with a speech full of admiration for Buddha, but what she admired was the so-called schemes and tactics.

Kahn thought to himself that compared to the conventional version he had given, the conspiracy theory version of "Journey to the West" that netizens had come up with was probably more to Azura's liking.

Perhaps it was the ending of the story that evoked their emotions, and the group started talking about the previous plots. As they talked, Terri asked him to tell the story again.

Kahn was somewhat resistant, disliking this meaningless and time-wasting repetition, but then he had a sudden inspiration:

"Perhaps I can write this story into a book and publish it."

As soon as the idea was proposed, he was eager to try it out. If it weren't for the slightly off-key style, he could have gone down the path of plagiarism, which would be equivalent to exporting culture from another world.

At least in his opinion, publishing a book was quite cool.

The people present naturally offered their support, and even the most sarcastic Azura refrained from uttering any foul words, as they also thought the idea was excellent.

When Kahn told Airo about the plan, Airo was also very curious and immediately gave his support, but on the condition that his fire control training not be neglected.

He had heard some of the story called "Journey to the West" that Kahn told, and it was indeed quite interesting, but he often went to the council hall of the palace and had never heard it all.

As for why Kahn was able to come up with such an interesting story, no one really cared. They just thought Kahn had a talent for it and that it was nothing special.

After all, that's just a minor skill; Kahn's talent in magic control is what deserves more attention.

Speaking of earth manipulation, after fighting with Kori for a long time, Kahn unintentionally learned a few earth manipulation techniques. Then, he suddenly had the idea to try to use earth manipulation techniques to control fire, so he experimented in the yard.

The result is obvious: no.

However, Kahn was discovered by Airo while conducting his experiment, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Earth manipulation techniques? Where did you learn that?"

As a former general of the Fire Kingdom, who fought against the Earth Kingdom for many years, he was certainly familiar with the techniques of Earth Manipulation.

Kahn briefly introduced Collie's situation, then explained his thoughts to him, and finally asked with a puzzled look:

What exactly is the difference between earth manipulation and fire manipulation?

"It's impressive that you thought of this."

Airo first praised Kahn's idea, then chuckled and said:

"The fundamental difference between the two lies not in the techniques of control, but in the origin, something like basic skills."

He conjured a flame in his hand and explained:

"Even without using fire manipulation techniques, we can still control fire, because manipulation techniques are just a way to help us better control flames, and the same goes for earth manipulation techniques. As for why we can't control fire through earth manipulation techniques, it's simply because the methods and principles are different."

"The ability to control fire comes from breathing, so learning to control breathing is a basic skill for every fire master; while the ability to control earth comes from the earth, and earth masters sense the flow of energy by touching the ground with their feet."

The principles behind their respective techniques are completely different, so they cannot be compared.

Airo spoke fluently and effortlessly about these theories, fully demonstrating his profound understanding of magic as a master of magic control. Problems that others found difficult to understand were no challenge for him whatsoever.

It was at this moment that Kahn glimpsed for the first time the tip of the iceberg of the world's top sorcerers.

Most importantly, Aiolos is his mentor.

Seriously, it's a huge money-maker.

Kahn suddenly understood after Elo's explanation, but his attention was not on the question itself, but rather drawn to one particular sentence.

"Mastery techniques are merely one way to help us better control fire."

In other words, the current fire control technique is only one solution to the fire control ability. Are there other solutions, or even the optimal solution?

His thoughts began to wander.
