The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 50 Spirit Control Technique

Soul out of the body.

This is not an exaggeration, but a straightforward account. Just as the meaning is clear, his soul left his body, and his soul and body separated into two different parts!

Looking at his somewhat transparent soul, and then at the motionless body in front of him, Kahn was completely bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

What does this mean? Did you meditate too much and thus pass on to the afterlife?

That's absolutely outrageous.

Kahn, unable to savor the wonder of moving freely with his soul, frantically searched his mind for any memories that might be of any use, feeling somewhat anxious.

You should know that in the stories he had heard in both his lives, the passive separation of the soul from the body was never a good thing in most of them.

Moreover, he had read in the book that there seemed to be gods in this world. What if he happened to encounter the Black and White Impermanence of this world and they took his life?

He doesn't have the ability to wreak havoc in the underworld!

However, the result of his thinking was not optimistic; he did not find any solution to this situation.

Fortunately, he found some relevant memories:

He had an out-of-body experience due to meditation, and he remembered that a while ago, Airo had said something puzzling during meditation, so maybe Airo knew something.

When in doubt, consult Elo; this was an absolute truth he had come to realize after living in this world for several years.

Airo, forever a god!

At this time, Airo happened to be taking a nap in his room, not having gone out.

So Kahn went straight to Elo's room. When he got to the door, he was about to push it open when his hands went straight through the door, causing him to stumble and almost fall.

Normally, he would probably explore it out of curiosity, but now he has no such inclination.

Despite not knowing that his voice would still be audible to others in his soul form, he still tried his best to shout loudly, attempting to wake Airo up.

"Uncle Airo! Uncle Airo!"

"Can you hear me?!"

"Moshi moshi?!?"

Amidst Kahn's frantic shouts, Airo couldn't help but frown. Still groggily, he propped himself up from the bed, and before even opening his eyes, he began to lecture Kahn:

"Disturbing an elderly person's sleep is a bad thing to do, you know. What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"

Seeing Kahn's expression, Airo smiled.

Ignoring Elo's laughter, Kahn was already somewhat relieved by Elo's reaction alone:

"Can you see me directly?"

"certainly."

At this moment, Ai Luo finally came to her senses. After a moment's thought, she deduced the whole story and calmly smiled:

"Did you overdo it with your meditation practice?"

Airo's calm expression and words finally put his mind at ease. Since Airo knew what the situation was, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But according to Airo...

"Does excessive meditation cause the soul to leave the body?"

Kahn's eye twitched; this was just too outrageous.

"Haha, meditation alone won't work, but it's a different story if it's spirit control."

Ai Luo laughed.

Back when he first speculated that Kahn's soul strength might be extraordinary, he had a premonition that such a situation might occur in the future, and today it has indeed come true.

And his previous speculation was indeed correct; although Kahn's soul was also semi-transparent, it was much more solid than his own.

Kahn followed Airo back to the courtyard, where Airo instructed him to sit cross-legged, his body overlapping the other, and then guided him:

"Calm your mind, return to a meditative state, imagine yourself floating in the air, and then slowly descending onto the earth below, feeling the earth again."

Kahn followed the instructions, and after a short while, he opened his eyes again and successfully returned to his body.

Airo is forever a god!

Kahn felt relieved, but he hadn't forgotten everything he had just seen and heard. He immediately became curious and asked Airo:

"What exactly happened just now? And what is this spirit control technique you mentioned?"

Airo stroked his long beard and said:

"Well, it's a long story."

"It's a long story!"

Kahn understood immediately, quickly prepared fruit and tea, and obediently sat down.

He loved listening to Airo tell some ancient legends, especially when those legends might actually be true historical facts.

"Legend has it that long, long ago, before the world possessed supernatural powers, and before there were the four types of magic—air, water, earth, and fire—and magic masters, spirit manipulation was the only magic mastered by humankind."

"Spirit control technique, meaning the art of commanding spirits, where 'spirit' refers to the mind, soul, and even deities. All things possess the existence of 'spirit'."

When discussing spirit control techniques, one cannot ignore the concept of "spirit" and the strongest among spirits.

God

Everything in the universe possesses a spirit, not only living beings like humans and animals, but also every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every river.

Unlike others, deities are born spirits, without any material form, and do not age. They are the oldest and most powerful group in the world.

Legend has it that in ancient times, before the Avatar powers and the Four Great Arts existed, the world was ruled by gods, and humans could only barely survive by relying on the protection of some benevolent gods.

The art of spirit control was the only means by which humans communicated with the gods at that time.

Later, the gods bestowed upon humanity the Four Powers and withdrew from the stage of history. Under the guidance of the Avatar, humanity relied on the Four Powers to become the masters of the world, while the Spirit Control Techniques gradually faded into obscurity due to their low awakening rate and the gods' secrecy.

"Spirit Control Technique, the oldest and most fundamental control technique."

As the story came to an end, Kahn's thoughts also left that ancient, ignorant era when gods were everywhere and humans were in decline. He had developed a different kind of affection for spirit control techniques.

At the same time, he asked with some anticipation:

"So, what I just experienced was the awakening of a spirit control technique?"

"Haha, not only did I awaken the Spirit Control Technique, but I also successfully performed the Astral Projection Technique right after awakening!"

Airo's teasing made Kahn's smile freeze, but it was not a pleasant experience.

However, judging from the series of events just now, Ai Luo has obviously also awakened the Spirit Control Technique, because ordinary people or Spirit Control Masters cannot see souls, which is an exclusive ability of Spirit Control Masters.

Although the experience of astral projection wasn't pleasant, upon reflection, there were still many admirable aspects worth mentioning. Besides, since the ability had already awakened, not using it would be a waste, so—

"Uncle Airo, that spirit control technique seems really interesting."

Seeing Kahn's expression, Airo chuckled and ruffled his hair, saying with a smile:

"If you want to learn, of course I can teach you."

"Very good!"

In response, Kahn clung to his "big thigh" and once again shouted his classic line:

Airo, forever a god!

Plagiarism checking on my thesis was such a torture!
