The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 49 An Ordinary Research Routine

Is this what you call a Fire Master? Is this all there is to a Fire Master?

Kahn took it as Elo being teasing him.

Airo also saw through Kahn's thoughts and added with a smile:

"From a very basic standard, that's certainly true."

Seriously?

Kahn smirked, dismissing the situation, and said:

"Then this Grandmaster title is worthless. And if that's the case, then most fire masters in this world are idiots, because not many people can even meet such a simple standard."

"It should be said that people like you are extremely rare. Besides, you can't say that."

Airo said slowly:

"Among the vast majority of the fire masters you mentioned, many are also constantly exploring and improving, but their direction is different from ours."

"They study fire control techniques not to explore their essence and possibilities, but to study what angle to attack from to kill quickly, and what combination of moves to use to be more unexpected."

They studied the martial arts of other countries not to apply them to other situations, but to find the enemy's weaknesses and explore how to kill them with a single blow.

"Although they cannot be called masters of fire, perhaps they can be called masters in other aspects."

For example, the master of killing.

After hearing these words, Kahn's excitement cooled down a bit. He suspected that Elo had planted a bug in his mind, precisely cooling him down just as he was starting to get a little cocky.

Indeed, even if he really becomes a master of fire control, it doesn't mean he'll truly stand at the pinnacle of the world.

Thinking about what Airo said about those fire masters who focused on honing their killing skills, every move of theirs was only for taking lives, he even felt a chill run down his spine. Who could guarantee that he could defeat such a group of killing machines?

That was close; I definitely overestimated myself.

After accepting Airo's guidance, Kahn once again focused on studying fire manipulation. Because of his previous success, his confidence increased greatly, and he no longer needed Airo's guidance.

Previously, he had ideas but didn't know where to start. It seemed like Versailles' troubles, but in reality, he also had concerns about his first research and fear of failure. However, he was able to resolve these concerns with a subtle, unseen guidance from Airo.

Kahn had encountered similar problems many times over the years, and each time Airo successfully resolved them, leaving him always marveling at his good fortune.

Despite saying it countless times, he still insists that having a good teacher is really important!

Azura has been mysteriously busy lately, while Zuko has become relatively free recently because he has completed his basic studies and has been given a rare short vacation. After that, he will study some advanced courses specially designed for the Crown Prince.

But Zu Kou often came to him when he had free time. Since Mei and the others were still attending classes and couldn't be disturbed often, they had no choice but to bother him instead.

Harmful!

However, having nothing else to do, Kahn passed on his mastery of thermal energy control techniques to Zuko.

He felt that this kid was a bit simple-minded and didn't seem like he had the makings of a grandmaster. But since they were all good friends, he decided to let him take the opportunity and indirectly experience what it felt like to be a grandmaster.

However, just as Ailo said, in Zuko's hands, thermal energy control was not only not a special skill, but it was also difficult to use for normal attacks. Its function was probably limited to warming up the bed, cooling down, and boiling water, becoming a household ability.

But then he demonstrated the power of thermal manipulation to Zuko, telling him that with effort, he too could be very powerful.

Zu Kou nodded happily in agreement and immediately threw himself into the training of thermal energy control techniques.

This isn't really misleading Zu Kou. With diligent practice, while you might not reach his level, you can certainly unleash considerable power, right?

He went to great lengths to improve his friend's abilities, and everyone would praise him for being "righteous"!

Anyway, he believed it.

However, although he and Zuko are about the same age, he has always regarded Zuko as a trinity of quantum superposition: good friend, silly younger brother, and dog son.

This isn't contempt; in his hometown, every boy wants to be his friend's father, which is perfectly reasonable.

But he later learned that Zu Kou was half a year older than him. He was only twelve years old, but Zu Kou was already thirteen.

Who would believe that if I told them?

Fortunately, the simple-minded Zu Kou always regarded him as his best friend and did not have any of his strange thoughts.

After a period of peaceful days, Zu Kou, who was now completely idle, suddenly became restless and had the awareness of becoming the future ruler of a country. He wanted to take advantage of the holiday to start learning about the country, so he inexplicably became busy again.

Kahn said he didn't understand the Crown Prince's thoughts, but given Zuko's personality, he figured he wouldn't cause any trouble, so he ignored him and continued to immerse himself in the mysteries of fire manipulation.

Recently, he discovered some interesting uses for it. For example, compressing flames and releasing them instantly can create a classic explosion effect. Combined with the control of fire magic, it can also create the feeling of tracking missiles, which is quite interesting.

The disadvantages are also obvious: the compression speed is slow, the target is obvious, and the reaction is slowed down because you have to focus on compressing the flame. When compressing the flame, you are practically a sitting duck.

He also thought of many solutions.

For example, using the Explosion spell while in a meditative state, where concentration is enhanced and compression speed is increased, is indeed a good idea.

It's like turning a moving target into a stationary one, making you look even more like you're courting death.

However, if the timing is right, it can be a good way to show off.

Kahn thought optimistically.

He also tried placing the compression process at the brow, the area closest to the brain, in an attempt to speed up the compression process by reducing the distance the signal is transmitted.

I don't know if it's effective or not, but it looks pretty cool, like Erlang Shen's third eye. It's just that the flame compression is too obvious and doesn't quite match.

So he wondered if it was possible to compress the flame in the form of heat energy before it took shape.

In conclusion, after conducting numerous experiments, he arrived at an important conclusion—

Meditation is indeed effective.

It can calm the mind and body, improve concentration, and help with thinking. Even after a brainstorming session, you won't feel tired. As long as you can stay awake, it's the best assistant for doing this kind of magical research!

No wonder the big shots in the fantasy world love meditation.

Wait

He likes meditation, and the big boss also likes meditation, so doesn't that mean:

He's a big shot?!

Kahn had an epiphany.

In any case, after experiencing the wonderful effects of meditation, he increasingly enjoyed using meditation to think about problems. For some reason, he felt a mysterious sensation while meditating, as if he had grasped the true essence of meditation.

Then, for no apparent reason, his soul left his body.

".?"

Looking at his own body, Kahn was momentarily stunned.
