The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 7 is overpowered?

Since Zuko had just mentioned combat practice, Kahn had a sudden idea. He thought that by having the two of them fight during this practice, their conflicts might be resolved and they might become a loving family.

He no longer needs to worry about being caught in the crossfire and getting shot by the two.

As for whether it will succeed, he didn't know; that's how it's portrayed in the comics anyway.

Combat training evolved from duels in the Fire Kingdom. The Fire Kingdom values ​​martial arts and dueling is prevalent, so many people choose to resolve disputes through duels.

Quite hardcore.

The evolved combat practice was used as a way to practice combat and hone combat skills, so both sides were very peaceful and not very angry.

Azura's current appearance makes it seem more like she's looking for a duel.

"Who wants to go first!"

Azura leaped onto the arena, hands on her hips, and scanned Kahn and Zuko, her gaze sweeping over them as if selecting prey.

"Perhaps the two of you could come together; I wouldn't mind."

So arrogant at such a young age?

Kahn turned to Zuko and asked, "Is she strong?"

"She's very strong; I've never beaten her."

Zuko was somewhat frustrated because he and Azura started learning on the same day under the same teacher, but Azura's progress was so much faster than his.

His father scolded him for his poor talent, saying he was not at all like a member of a noble royal family.

This is also why he didn't want Azura involved, because they couldn't possibly beat Azura; they would only get a beating from her.

Moreover, after Azura recently defeated their original fire-controlling teacher, she began learning from their father, the king.

He defeated a fully grown elite fire master?!

"Oh, then it's alright."

Kahn abandoned his intention to teach her a lesson and acted as if nothing had happened.

But he still incited Zu Kou:

"Isn't this a great opportunity? As long as you have a good fight with her, regardless of whether you win or lose, your relationship might change."

"Really?"

Because Kahn's tone was very serious and his expression was very earnest, Zuko began to have some doubts.

Could it be that Kahn really wasn't lying to me?

On the other side, Azura began to taunt:

"What's wrong, Grandma? Are you scared and want to go back to Mother's arms for comfort? Actually, I'm not as strong as you all think. If you just beg me, I might consider giving you one hand. How about that?"

The effect is outstanding!

Zuko was so angry that his face turned red, and he immediately wanted to rush onto the stage, but Kahn quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute."

If you just rush in like that, aren't you just asking for a beating?

Although he was also one of the instigators, he didn't go so far as to harm a child, so he said:

"Agree on the rules before engaging in practice matches."

He looked at Azura:

"Stop when you've made a point; don't go too far. If one side falls out of the ring or voluntarily concedes, they lose. If one side calls a stop, both sides must immediately cease fighting."

"I agree. But isn't this a rule everyone knows?"

Zuko asked in confusion, not understanding why Kahn would specifically bring it up.

Azura sighed, looking at Zukor as if he were an idiot:

"Please don't ask such stupid questions anymore, Grandpa. I'm really ashamed to have a brother like that."

Although Kahn was referring to a rule that everyone tacitly agreed upon, if she hadn't stated it aloud, she could have argued that there were no rules at all. And if there are no rules, then anything is possible.

Therefore, having them confirm the rules in public is naturally to prevent anyone from exploiting such loopholes.

Zuko can't even understand such simple logic; he's truly an idiot.

Ignoring the furious Zukor beside her, Azura glanced at Kahn with her eyes half-open, unaware that a faint smile was playing on her lips.

This guy is definitely different from the others.

Thinking this, that feeling of irritation from before surged back into my heart, but this time it only lasted for a moment.

What exactly is this thing?

She frowned slightly, then smiled easily:

"Don't worry, I'm in a good mood today. I just plan to beat you guys up. I agree to the above rules."

Little girl, you're so arrogant!

Kahn mentally punched her, which made him feel much better, and he ignored her taunts.

The mental victory method, great!

However, Kahn also admitted that the foul-mouthed girl was indeed very smart.

If it's because members of the royal family are cultivated to have this awareness from a young age, then while it's tragic, it's at least reasonable. However, judging from the example of Zu Kou beside him, it's clearly not the case.

This makes Azura's talent even more outstanding, although her talent for being foul-mouthed is hard to describe.

Once the rules were set, the next step was to arrange the teams in pairs, with three matches in total, decided by rock-paper-scissors.

The first match was Kahn vs. Zukor, the second match was Zukor vs. Azura, and the third match was Azura vs. Kahn.

Kahn and Zuko walked onto the stage.

"Or we can fight using only the techniques you've learned."

Zuko said, taking into account Kahn's situation.

"Thank you, but no need."

Kahn smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself once again, "Zuko is really a good kid."

Then he reminded him:

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually think I'm quite capable. In fact, you'd better be careful."

I need to be careful? Careful about what?

A flicker of curiosity crossed Zu Kou's mind.

Shedding their cumbersome coats to reveal crisp inner linings, Kahn and Zuko extended their right hands, making fists as a sign of respect. They then turned their backs to each other, took five steps, and began a countdown.

"3, 2... 1!"

Start!

The two turned around at the same time, and with their right hands, they swung out two fireballs with long tails. This was the simplest and most classic way to start, and the fastest and safest way.

The two flames collided, exploded, merged, and then vanished without a trace between the two.

In the instant the flames collided and obscured his vision, Zuko charged forward at lightning speed.

Before the flames from the explosion had even dissipated, Zuko walked straight through them and unleashed a powerful straight punch—

But it landed in an empty space.

Before he could even locate Kahn properly, he felt a burning sensation coming from below.

not good!

He hurriedly leaned back, narrowly dodging Kahn's upward kick, and performed two backflips to create distance, but almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

It would be a bit funny to lose like that.

Instead of pressing his advantage, Kahn stood still and waited for him to get back into position, then laughed and said, "Just this once."

Zuko blushed, realizing that Kahn had let him win; otherwise, he would probably have been instantly killed.

That would be a bit embarrassing.

Zuko was somewhat surprised by the skill Kahn had displayed earlier, and asked curiously, "Kahn, how did you know I would make that move?"

Kahn acted as if he already knew he would make that move and had been lying in ambush beforehand.

Kahn thought for a moment and said, "Prediction, plus a little intuition."

In fact, in that instant, the moment a thought flashed through his mind, his body reacted, his movements as smooth as if he had rehearsed countless times.

This was a talent he discovered while practicing alone: ​​a very fast reaction speed. And now it seems that this talent is even more powerful than he imagined.

Is this considered my cheat code?

Kahn was eager to try and see what he could do:

"Let's continue!"
