The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 68 The Spirit Master's Dilemma: Azura's Less-than-Wonderful Daily Life

Gurupas is the world's strongest and only master of spirit manipulation. Airo studied under this master for a period of time when he was young, so he can be considered his half-disciple.

According to Airo, this master is humorous, easygoing, and open-minded. If Kahn is willing to further his studies in spirit manipulation, he can go and learn from him.

Since the Fire Kingdom wiped out the Qihe Clan, the Qihe Temples in various places quickly became forbidden places that people avoided, and now they have almost all been turned into desolate ruins.

Because of his past connection with the Kiwa clan and his desire to avoid worldly conflicts, Gurupask has remained at the Higashi Kiwa Temple ever since. Kahn can go there to find him.

Kahn was slightly shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously began to wonder how old this grandmaster was.

He had dealings with the Qihe Clan when he was young, so he must be over a hundred years old now, right?

Good heavens, he's lived to a ripe old age!

"Of course, that's assuming they're willing to see you. If they're unwilling to show themselves, you could search for them your whole life and never find a trace of them."

Ai Luo chuckled and teased.

When you reach that level, you can "see" every corner of the world, perceive all things, and communicate with all things without leaving your home. As long as the other person is willing, there is no secret in the world that can escape his "eyes".

A psychic? Professor X?

Kahn felt a chill run down his spine. The thought of an invisible gaze that could see right through him made him feel like he was always naked and extremely insecure.

And you should know, he's carrying a huge secret—

His identity as a time traveler!

Although he didn't know what impact this secret would have on him if it were exposed, he certainly didn't want it to be exposed if he could avoid it.

But that person was his only choice for learning spirit control techniques.

Kahn looked conflicted.

Seeing Kahn's conflicted expression, Airo could roughly guess the reason and chuckled:

"People with such high moral character wouldn't go around spying on others for no reason; otherwise, they wouldn't go to such remote places to hide away and live in seclusion."

Kahn nodded, but the struggle on his face remained; he didn't like to place his hopes and choices on others.

Thus, amidst these conflicted emotions, the two ended their long-awaited meeting and agreed on a time to meet again.

He wasn't in a hurry about the Spirit Control Technique, since besides it, he also needed to continue researching Fire Control Technique, learn Lightning Control Technique from Azura, and master the application of Reverse Lightning Fire.

Therefore, he still has time to weigh and think about this issue.

Of course, it would be even better if he could develop something like Occlumency or a mental shield.

Kahn had a wild idea.

Since returning to the capital after his last mission, Kahn has been idle once again. It seems that Aozai has no intention of exploiting him, which surprised him somewhat.

Of course, there may also be another reason, which is that Azura has started teaching again.

He has completed his basic education courses and graduated from school smoothly, but Azura, who is not yet twelve years old, has not yet. After returning, she did not relax for long before starting to continue her studies.

As for why Kahn wasn't assigned to tasks alone, it's probably because he was Azura's subordinate, not Aozara's.

Although Ao Zai, as the emperor of the Fire Blaze Kingdom, had the power to order him around, it seemed rather low for someone to snatch his own daughter in such a manner. Perhaps it was for these reasons that he was able to rest.

周末

After a training session, Kahn and Azura sat down on the ground and chatted casually, with Azura complaining about her recent miserable life with a look of utter despair.

When Zu Kou was still alive, the teacher would allocate time according to their different learning progress.

Because Azura learns faster than Zuko, the teacher usually lets Azura finish class early and then spends more time on Zuko.

This is why, even though both of them were studying, Azura always seemed to be doing nothing, while Zuko was always very busy.

Oh, the ancestor, oh, the tragedy.

Then Kahn asked:

"It's so troublesome, couldn't we just hire another teacher?"

"You don't think just anyone is qualified to teach us, do you?"

Azura chuckled, slightly smug, and said:

"The teachers who teach us each subject are the best scholars in that field, and since they are the best, there can only be one."

Okay, that's pretty impressive.

But as the saying goes, there is no first place in literature but there is a second in martial arts, and Kahn was very curious about how these scholars selected the so-called "best".

Azura's reply was quite blunt:

"Of course, the more loyal one is to the Emperor, the more outstanding one will be."

Ah this

Kahn was speechless, and it seemed there was nothing wrong with him.

That being said, since it's already within the range of those eligible to be selected as the best, even if it's a little off, it's not that bad, so it's not a big deal.

Furthermore, whether the teacher is excellent or not is not important to Azura; what is important is—

Her happy times are gone forever!

Since Zuko left, he is now receiving thorough one-on-one instruction and can no longer slack off.

If she learns slowly, the other person teaches slowly; if she learns quickly, the other person teaches quickly. In short, every minute and second of every class is fully utilized, without the slightest waste.

Especially after her heroic deeds were widely publicized and reported, the teachers taught her even more diligently.

Azura commented on this:

This is fucking torture!

No matter how ruthless, cunning, or powerful she was, facing a group of old scholars' incantations every day made her feel dizzy and overwhelmed.

"I can't believe it, I actually miss my great-grandmother one day! God, please have mercy on me."

"Those pedantic old men are even more annoying than my two old maids! They're always watching me and nagging; I just want to burn them all alive!"

It's rare to see Azura so disheveled and out of sorts; it looks quite novel and interesting.

Instead of comforting her, Kahn laughed unkindly and teased her:

"What bad intentions could the teachers possibly have? They just want to teach a student well."

"Pooh!"

Azura spat in annoyance and said fiercely:

"They're just a bunch of sycophantic lackeys. If they really wanted to teach and nurture people, I'd rather send them to the countryside to teach for the rest of their lives!"

Although it was said in anger, Azura's insight made Kahn take notice.

As they were talking, Kahn suddenly mentioned Aojae.

"What has he been up to lately?"
