Chapter 2890: Become a Disciple
After experiencing the pain of death and separation, the young Shentong realized that he should indeed take responsibility, otherwise more people would suffer. However, even for Shentong, it is not so easy to learn the four major arts of control. Because each art of control has a corresponding personality, such as the Air and the people are more casual and peaceful.
Shentong An is such an easy-going boy with a good personality, so he is compatible with water control, because the personality of water control is flexible and peaceful. The personality of earth control is unwavering, like a rock. Fire control stimulates negative energy in the body, and the more angry, the stronger it is.
So learning water control is not bad, and it does not make the boy feel uncomfortable. But the other two arts of control can be said to be completely opposite to his personality. The boy is as invisible and uncertain as the wind, not like a stone, and even less like a flame.
In short, learning art of control is also related to personality, and Shentong is now facing a personality problem. When he came to the Earth Power Country, he wanted to find a good friend, but his friend had been captured, so he could only find someone else.
That day, the young Shentong and his three companions came to the city where the Northern Family was located to find a new teacher.
Watching the earthbending fighting competition, hoping to find a powerful teacher in the competition. However, they would not expect that the strongest person in the ring is not a big and strong adult, but a petite blind girl.
On the ring, Beifang Toph will show her true self, confident, strong, and she doesn't care about etiquette at all. She laughs when she wants to laugh and jumps when she wants to jump, and doesn't give anyone face at all. If her father saw his daughter like this, he would probably cry in pain, because this is not his good girl at all.
But this is Toph. Her every move in the ring, every attack is decisive and powerful, and she has 100% confidence in her attacks and judgments. Attacking, dodging, and counterattacking are cool and fast, which is impressive.
Avatar and his two friends were stunned. They didn't expect there would be such a powerful blind girl. She defeated all the adults in a few seconds. This is too amazing.
Avatar has a feeling that this is the teacher he is looking for. So the three of them secretly followed, and finally found that Toph was still living a double life. During the day, she was a rich lady, and at night, she was the defending king of the ring.
An didn't understand why the girl was like this? Why didn't she show herself and become her teacher?
He climbed over the wall and entered the luxurious courtyard. An told the girl his purpose. He came to learn from her. Toph was a little curious about the Avatar, after all, she had only heard of it but never seen it. The story of the Avatar was a bedtime reading. The last Avatar was a hundred years ago.
The last generation of the Avatar was from the Fire Nation. This Avatar had a dragon as a mount. He often traveled around the world to eliminate evil and was upright. He only hesitated once on the issue of the previous Fire King.
Before that, there was the Avatar of the Earth Kingdom. This Avatar stopped the military expansion of the Earth Kingdom and indirectly killed the First Emperor. At the same time, in order to protect her homeland, she used powerful control techniques to turn her hometown into an island country, which is the hometown of the Kyoshi Warriors.
Before that, there was the Avatar of the Water Tribe. Because of his indecisiveness, his lover's face was taken away by the Thousand-Faced God, and he exiled himself in guilt.
These are just the three Avatars in the latest cycle, and their experiences are so complicated, not to mention going back to the first generation of Avatars. There are hundreds of Avatars, and each of them has had a rough experience, and there are even many tragedies.
An gradually came into contact with Avatars, and accepted the teachings of Avatars through psychic dreams and the memories of Avatars in previous lives. Avatars basically told An to make a decision when necessary, and remember not to hesitate, because hesitation will lead to defeat and problems.
Even the goddess of the previous generation of the Air and Tribe told An not to hesitate. Hesitation is the most inappropriate thing, and these are the lessons learned from Avatars.
But An always felt that he could find the best solution, so he could never make up his mind. In fact, this mentality is an immature mentality. There is no way to have the best of both worlds in the world. If you want to get something, you have to lose something.
In fact, in the original book, An was really lucky to defeat the Fire Lord in the end. At that time, his meridians had been interrupted by Azula. In the final battle, the injured part was attacked again. It was completely luck that opened up the meridians and successfully entered the realm of Avatars.
Before An's meridians were injured, an old man taught An another way to quickly enter the realm of the Avatar, which was to forget the worldly affairs. In this way, he could fully master the realm of the Avatar, and he could open it when he wanted to, and close it when he wanted to, but he could no longer talk about love. An refused because he had fallen in love with Katara at that time and didn't want to forget her.
So hesitation would lead to defeat. An was severely injured afterwards and lost the ability of the Avatar realm. It was not until the final battle that he opened it because of luck.
But this kind of luck cannot last forever. Trying to be perfect in everything, he finally became a short-lived Avatar. Avatars can live for a hundred years without any problem, but An died at the age of sixty. Obviously, everything that happened in the future was not favored by luck, and it would not make his wishes come true.
Now An still insists on being perfect in everything. He invites Toph to be his teacher and go on a trip together, so that Toph no longer has to hide her true self, and they can take risks together.
"So your wish is based on the people around you giving up their comfort zone and following you to do the right thing? Why are you right, because you are the Avatar?" Duran appeared and interrupted An's invitation.
Actually, Toph was moved, because she also wanted to leave home and see the world. Twelve-year-old middle school boys don't like their parents to tell them what to do, especially a genius like Toph, who hopes to fly high in the sky.
"Is it you?" An will never forget Duran's face. He appeared in the Arctic forbidden land and resurrected the gods: "A spy from the Fire Nation!"
I haven't heard of this. Toph turned to Duran, as if she was curious whether her teacher was from the Fire Nation?
"Last time we met, I helped you destroy the Fire Nation's fleet, but you said I was a spy from the Fire Nation? Don't you feel guilty?" Duran said he didn't say such slander.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. Although without Duran, the final result would not change, but with Duran, the princess survived, which reduced the sadness of the battle. Although many people died in the Arctic in the end, it is always a good thing that the princess is alive.
"What do you mean by what you said just now?" An asked. Duran's words didn't sound good.
"Literally, if you think your words are right, you should let Toph listen to you. Why? Why do you think you are right? You haven't completed your studies, and you have evaded your responsibilities. Now you are deciding the future for others. You obviously haven't lived a good life yourself." Duran said that Shentong should take care of himself first, and then take care of others.
An had nothing to say. He was indeed not a qualified Shentong. He always escaped when he could, but now he didn't want to escape, so his eyes became more and more determined, and he looked at Duran, wanting to prove that he had changed.
"Toph can't take risks with you, because I want to train her to become a magician who surpasses Shentong." Duran said.
The three of them didn't believe it at all, because it was too exaggerated. Shentong was the pinnacle of all magicians. Surpassing Shentong? That's impossible. I've never heard of it. But thinking of Duran's resurrection of the gods, they were also hesitant to speak.
