Kahn hadn't expected the spirit to issue an expulsion order the moment he appeared, but he still responded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant:
"You must be Wanshi Tong, the Spirit of Knowledge. I am a Spirit Bender, and standing beside me is the Avatar. We've come here in pursuit of knowledge. Why do you bar us from entry?"
"The Avatar and a Spirit Bender."
Hearing those two titles, Wanshi Tong's attitude softened slightly.
But after listening to Kahn's explanation, he spoke again—this time with unmistakable sarcasm:
"Why do I bar you from entry? Because you humans are never truly in pursuit of knowledge."
"You seek knowledge so you can surpass other humans… eliminate other humans… just like a Fire Nation man who came here years ago. All he wanted was a method to destroy his enemies."
"So tell me—who do you intend to eliminate now?"
As he spoke, Wanshi Tong suddenly stretched his long neck forward, staring directly into their eyes.
His deep, midnight-black gaze felt like it could rip their souls out and see straight into their hearts.
Sokka instantly looked away. His original goal was to find something that could help them stop the Fire Nation.
He fit Wanshi Tong's accusation a little too well.
Meanwhile, when the spirit mentioned the Fire Nation intruder, Kahn caught something—an emotional spike.
Anger.
Hatred.
From what he had learned in ancient texts, Wanshi Tong was not a human-hating spirit by nature.
He built his library in the human world and welcomed knowledge from the human world.
People were allowed to come here to learn—until that Fire Nation bastard ruined everything.
Which meant the spirit's current hostility was connected to that intruder.
So Kahn bowed slightly and said.
"I am ashamed and apologize for the actions of my compatriots. But we did not come here to eliminate anyone."
"Modern Firebending has been artificially altered. We are here to find the original Firebending that remains untouched. We hope you will allow us to pursue this knowledge."
Seeing Kahn bow and formally request entry, Aang and the others immediately followed suit.
Wanshi Tong stared at them silently for a long moment. Then his attitude shifted.
"...Very well. Perhaps Spirit Benders and the Avatar are not as despicable as other humans. I will allow you to browse my collection."
"I hope you do not disappoint me."
Wanshi Tong's eyes lingered on Sokka, sending a chill down his spine. He felt completely exposed.
"But before that, you must contribute knowledge."
"Thank you for your generosity."
Their contributions were… uneven. Kahn's cultivation notes and Katara's Waterbending scroll were normal enough.
Aang, embarrassingly, offered a wanted poster of himself. And Sokka—good grief—tied a knot in a rope on the spot and held it up like it was profound wisdom.
Naturally, Wanshi Tong mocked him.
"Your mind doesn't seem particularly bright, does it?"
But despite the ridicule, he still accepted the knot.
Kahn silently watched. The spirit was far easier to talk to than he'd expected.
Among everything they offered, Wanshi Tong valued Kahn's cultivation notes the most.
His notes contained insights into cultivation, bending comprehension, self-created techniques, half-formed ideas—rare knowledge with high value.
But he wrote them in the most chaotic way imaginable.
Random thoughts, scattered concepts, abrupt jumps—like giving a Firebender a copy of the Nine Yin Manual.
If a Firebender actually trained with it, they would either become Guo Jing… or Ouyang Feng.
Either they'd become a genius—or go completely insane.
Even Wanshi Tong paused several times while reading, as if his mind had overheated.
Seeing the spirit starting to spiral into that "deep-immersion coma," Kahn had to gently remind him to come back to reality.
When Wanshi Tong regained clarity, his attitude toward Kahn flipped instantly. A full 180.
"You are not only a Spirit Bender—you are a Firebending Master who truly pursues knowledge. Your notes contain many novel ideas."
"You seek the original Firebending, yes? Come with me. I want to personally place these notes on my collection shelf."
"..."
Aang and the others exchanged looks, then stared at Kahn, wondering what on earth he had given the spirit.
Kahn shrugged.
"This is how the strongest Firebender is treated."
Damn—he definitely showed off.
They continued deeper into the library, marveling at its size. Vast shelves, scrolls stacked like mountains, knowledge arranged with divine precision.
Compared to this place, the Fire Nation Royal Library looked like a toy.
But when they passed the Fire Nation section, they stopped dead.
Unlike the other regions filled with books, the Fire Nation shelves held nothing but scorched earth—burned clean, nothing but ashes and soot.
"You should be grateful I categorized Earthbending separately," Wanshi Tong said softly. But beneath that softness was rage.
Aang whispered.
"Did a Fire Nation person burn all this so no one else could find information about them?"
"It's those Fire Nation lunatics again! Uh—Kahn, sorry. Not you."
Katara's anger faded when she realized what she said.
"It's fine. There are plenty of lunatics in the Fire Nation."
Kahn wasn't offended. The sight filled him with disgust too.
His education in his previous life taught him to respect books and despise book-burning.
He sighed.
"Books are the carriers of civilization."
Aang and the others grew quiet, sharing the same heaviness.
Wanshi Tong watched them silently, eyes flickering with unspoken thoughts.
Sighing wouldn't fix anything. They continued on until they reached the Firebending section.
Kahn searched carefully—and finally found it: an ancient Firebending scroll titled Fire Dragon Dance.
The earliest Firebenders learned directly from dragons, mimicking their movements. This must have been one of those original forms.
After collecting what they came for, they prepared to leave.
Kahn bowed again. "Thank you for your generosity."
Just then, Wanshi Tong suddenly spoke and stated a date.
"This is the date of the next solar eclipse."
"The Day of Black Sun?!"
Kahn couldn't hide his shock. As a Firebender, he knew exactly what that meant—on that day, every Firebender would lose their bending.
But why tell them?
"I am not interested in your human wars," Wanshi Tong continued. "However, I want to ask you for a favor."
He spread his massive wings, lightly brushing Kahn's and Aang's foreheads.
A vision appeared.
A Fire Nation officer reading in the library—then burning anything related to the Fire Nation before leaving.
The culprit.
"I want him punished," Wanshi Tong said, voice thick with hatred.
Suddenly Aang gasped.
"It's him!"
"You know this person?!"
Kahn and Wanshi Tong turned sharply toward Aang, who stammered:
"His name is General Zhao. He chased us for a long time."
Before Kahn joined them, Zhao had pursued them all the way to the Northern Water Tribe—he even killed La, the Moon Spirit.
Though they revived La and repelled the Fire Nation, Zhao was last seen being dragged away by the Ocean Spirit.
"Taken away by the Ocean Spirit? Hahahahahahahaha!"
Wanshi Tong burst into laughter, soaring upward and circling joyfully before vanishing into the depths of the library, his laughter echoing.
The group stood frozen.
"So… our mission is complete?" Aang asked.
Kahn smiled and nodded, spirit lightened.
"Let's go."
