The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 4 Azura

"drink!"

"ha!"

On the training platform, Kahn was learning martial arts, or more precisely, practicing fire control techniques.

Fire control, as the name suggests, is the technique of manipulating fire. It is a complete set of movements, and apart from the function of controlling fire, the movements of fire control are also a complete set of martial arts moves.

Whether in magical combat or close-quarters battle, fire control is the foundation of a fire master's life.

This design is brilliant! A single set of movements allows for both physical and magical cultivation, saving time and being highly efficient. The person who designed the fire control technique is definitely a genius!

Kahn is also a fire master, so in addition to his regular academic studies, he also has special fire-manipulation courses. He is currently reviewing what his teacher taught him today.

After reviewing, he practiced the fire manipulation technique in its entirety. Flames danced with his movements, sometimes erupting forth, sometimes flashing by in an instant, displaying both power and agility, making it a truly pleasing sight.

If someone who doesn't understand fire control techniques saw this, they would probably make this comment.

In reality, Kahn's current level is only average. After these days of continuous practice, he has only recovered to the level of his original self in his memories.

The original owner's skill level was only considered above average among her peers.

"It's still a stretch, as expected."

After completing the set of movements, Kahn was slightly out of breath.

In addition to the fire control techniques that the original owner possessed, Kahn also tried to learn more advanced techniques that the school had not yet taught, but he struggled to execute them.

There happened to be a complete set of Fire Control scrolls at home, which was one of the few pleasant surprises Kahn found in his own home.

However, learning fire control is not like doing calisthenics where you just need to get the movements right. When using fire control, spiritual energy flows through the body with the movements. Subtle changes in force, and different timing of releasing and withdrawing force, will all cause different effects.

If you don't grasp the key points, then no matter how much you practice, it will be a waste of effort.

However, without the teacher's hands-on guidance, it is difficult to measure the differences in these subtle changes and to discover one's own mistakes.

In the days since Kahn transmigrated, he has not only recovered to his original level, but has also mastered the fire control technique he taught himself to such an extent that he can be considered a genius.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Kahn, are you home?"

Along with the knocking, Zu Kou's voice also came from the door.

Hearing Zuko's voice, Kahn dusted himself off and went over. "Coming!"

Since their first meeting, Ailo has always brought Zuko to visit him over the next few days.

Kahn had a good first impression of the child; he was a polite and sensible boy, and polite and sensible children are always well-liked. Kahn treated him like a younger brother.

Zuko had a very happy few days because Kahn was his first true friend, and a very good one at that.

Kahn was very calm and loved to learn—unlike Azura, who was crazy all the time—and he gave off a very mature vibe, like an adult, and you could even tell him stories.

Everything was great. Even his mother, after learning about Kahn, praised him highly and said she felt very comfortable letting him play with Kahn.

He is not allowed to go out normally, but in the past few days, because his father is busy and has no time to take care of him, and because Elo is with him, he has been able to come out and play for a while. So every time he comes out, he comes to find Kahn in high spirits.

Kahn pushed open the door, and there stood an old man and a young man: "Uncle Airo, Zuko."

Zuko responded, "Kahn!"

"Practicing fire control techniques, huh? How diligent."

Ailo chuckled and said that Kahn had a burnt smell about him, which was obvious at a glance.

"It's alright, it's just homework assigned by the teacher."

"Please come in. Oh, Uncle Airo, I bought some new tea leaves. If you want some, please brew them yourself. My tea isn't very good. There are also some snacks. I'll go wash them first."

When Airo came to his house last time, he casually brewed some tea to entertain him, but Airo nagged him for a long time, saying things like "wasting tea leaves" and "barbarian brewing method," and that's when Kahn realized that Airo was a person who loved drinking tea and was also good at brewing tea.

However, Airo stopped him, saying, "There's no need for that. I actually have some things to do today, and I'll be heading back to the palace soon."

"Um?"

Kahn asked in surprise, "Then why did you bring Zuko to play with me?"

Without Elo by his side, Zuko would never be allowed to stay outside alone.

Airo stroked his beard with an air of profound mystery:

"Well, because..."

"I'd like you to come to my house. My mother also wants to meet you!"

But before Aero could finish his suspense, Zuko revealed his purpose in coming to find Kahn.

Zuko looked at Kahn expectantly: "Are you coming?"

Well, looking at his expectant little eyes, Kahn felt that he really had no choice:

"Okay, but can I go in?"

Zu Kou's home is the imperial palace. Is it really appropriate to just bring in any random person?

"Of course, no problem. I'll take you in, just don't wander around."

As the current crown prince, Ai Luo confidently assured him.

"Once you've finished washing up and changed into clean clothes, we'll set off."

After saying that, he chuckled and said, "But while I'm at it, I can try the taste of the new tea."

Kahn glanced at him, thinking, "Why are you making such a fuss about having tea like you're cheating?"

"Alright."

After a while, Kahn finished washing up and changing into clean clothes. Elo also finished his tea, and Kahn followed the two of them toward the palace.

Kahn was actually a little worried. After all, the palace represented the center of power, complicated etiquette, and the struggle for the throne, which were not good things. Even though he was a transmigrator, he was still weak and frail and probably couldn't withstand being messed with.

So he asked Zu Kou, who was standing nearby:

"Are there any important rules in the palace? Like what you can't do or where you can't go?"

"Um"

Zu Kou thought about it seriously for a while and replied, "There are many."

Of course, I know there are plenty!

Kahn stared speechlessly at Zuko. Airo, walking behind them, overheard their conversation and burst into laughter, saying:

"Don't worry, you're just visiting Zu Kou's house. Just act like you normally do. There's nothing special about it."

"Really?"

Kahn was skeptical.

For some reason, he always felt that this crown prince seemed unreliable. Was it really okay to entrust the future of the country to him?

He even suspected that Airo's first policy after taking office would be to promote teahouses.

In any case, he eventually managed to enter the palace.

After that, he and Elo parted ways because someone came to pick up Elo, and he said he would come back to pick up Kahn and take him home after he finished his business.

So Kahn and Zuko walked to his house together, and on the way, Kahn suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, is your father home?"

During his conversation with Zuko, Kahn felt that his father, Aozai, had always been very strict with Zuko, even harsh, and that he was not easy to get along with.

Zuko shook his head and replied, "No, Father and Uncle Ailo are both busy with their own affairs."

If that weren't the case, he probably wouldn't have brought Kahn to his home as a guest, since his father didn't seem to like Kahn much when he talked about him last time.

You could even simply remove "seems like" and "too".

Fortunately, my mother liked Kahn very much and even asked me to bring him to our home as a guest.

After walking for a while, a gap finally appeared in the seemingly endless wall around them. Zu Kou said, "We've arrived."

Before the two could even enter the palace, a mocking female voice came from above:

"Is this your 'long-cherished' good friend, Grandma?"

The two looked up and saw a little girl sitting on the wall, swinging her toes and grinning at them.

Zu Kou called out the girl's name with a wary and displeased tone:

"Azura!"
