The Backbender (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Strongest Bending?



"See you later! Bumi!" Fei screamed with a smile as she looked down onto the ground. Bumi chuckled as he waved his hand at the flying Appa. It has been 2 days since the team arrived at Omashu. They spent the time exploring the city and having sno sno.

"See you later, everyone!" Bumi smiled as the team finally flew off into the sky. Kanuk turned his head back, and he instantly started his training montage. 

Boom!

Swoosh!

Choo!

Bang!

The air twisted and twirled as Kanuk's punches, kicks, chops, and grabs caused the air to scream in agony. Kanuk looked at his experience in martial arts and smirked.

"The experience is increasingly good. Though I couldn't train it for 2 days." Kanuk did not want to spend his vacation with the girls training the entire day, so he now has to get to grinding.

An hour later, Kanuk started closing his eyes and trying to remember the moves and skills he gained from level 1 of the martial arts skill. He recalled the way to stand, block, and evade.

Crack!

The air trembled as Kanuk threw an almost perfect punch at full power without the assistance of bending or Chi. Kanuk caused a sonic boom around his fist.

Katara and Fei watched with wide eyes as they paused their training. On Fei's hand was a silver ring, the same as Katara's. They watched as Kanuk struck the air, his fist leaving white clouds around it.

Boom!

Kanuk stopped his punches and kicks as his whole body trembled for a few seconds. Using Current Sense. Kanuk saw his muscles and bones were full of cracks.

'So this is what happens when I don't use anything but my physical power...' Kanuk thought as he stopped his active sense. His bones gained microscopic cracks after a few punches.

The recoil of breaking the speed of sound with his fist caused the shockwave to injure him to such a small degree that he would not notice for years.

DZZZZZZ!

Kanuk sensed his bones, muscles, and everything injured due to the shockwave healing. His body's natural healing is much better and faster than normal humans.

Not to mention, when he uses Chi's healing technique, the speed of his regeneration is increased by dozens of times. Reaching a regeneration similar to Deadpool. Only in speed, not effect. He would die if he was cut in half.

As the time passed, it was now 2 hours since Kanuk started training, and the girls watched while panting as they stopped their training. Kanuk was still not tired.

"Now I see why his stamina is so good," Katara said while wiping her sweat. She smirked as she remembered how good Kanuk's stamina was at night.

"Tell me about it!" Fei sighed as she rested her chin on her hand. She felt the smooth breeze flow across her body, and she shivered in pleasure as she was starting to fall asleep.

Boom!

As Kanuk's fist broke the sound barrier. Kanuk stopped the sound from reaching Fei and Katara as he burned the sound waves into a wave in front of his speed.

The air in front of Kanuk split as a concentrated beam of air, vibrations and force erupted. 

"No wonder Whitebeard was considered the strongest pirate... His punches neg durability." Kanuk smirked as he clenched his fist. He never thought choosing sound bending would be such a good move.

[Ding!]

[Martial Arts Lv.1 -> 3! {0/300}]

[1. Increased melee damage to 30]

[2. Increases Durability to 30%]

[Ding!]

[Air Bending V2 Lv.2 -> 4! {0/4000}]

"Oh, yeah! I feel it now!" Kanuk nodded as he clenched his fists. He could feel the energy rushing in his body. With each level, his Chi reserves increased.

His Chi reserves were ridiculously high. Every time Kanuk levels up a skill related to Chi. His Chi reserves increase slightly.

"Pull up my status," Kanuk asked his system with slight curiosity. It's been a long time since he looked at his status.

[Name: Kanuk]

[Age: 15/200]

[Element: Water V2 Lv 3, Air V2 Lv 4, Fire Lv 1, Earth Lv1.]

[Chi: 35000]

[Strength: 130]

[Speed: 130]

[Durability: 130]

[AP: 10]

[Attributes: Elemental Body, Wind's Champion.]

Kanuk looked at his status page and looked at his Fire Bending with an uncomfortable face. It was only at a mere Level 1. It made him feel that he should change that.

"Looks like it's time for me to start training Fire Bending" Kanuk would not settle for anything less than the strongest. He wants everyone in the world to tremble at hearing his name.

Not out of fear.

Out of knowing that Kanuk is the pinnacle of strength. The very force of strength. That is what he wants to achieve by the end of this journey that he is on.

"If I remember... Fire bending is most powerful when using your emotions to heat the flames and when you can breathe like a pro." Kanuk relaxed his muscles, and he emptied his chest.

Fooooo!

Kanuk took a deep breath, and his blessed body allowed his lungs to draw in an air capacity of 5 normal human lungs. Kanuk can probably hold his breath for hours.

Kanuk felt a heat in his stomach, and with a sharp exhale, he thrust his fist forward in a punch. The sky lit up as a tsunami of flames went forward like a beast pouncing on its prey.

Katara looked at the scene with wide eyes as she felt the heat. Kanuk realised his error and quickly stopped it as he carried the heat in the air away from them.

[Ding!]

[Fire Bending {0-> 40/100}]

"Sorry." Kanuk smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head. Katara narrowed her eyes as she looked annoyed. The heat caused her body to feel like it was in boiling water for a second.

Kanuk looked back to the screen and realised that a single fire bending gave him 40 Experiences, almost allowing him to level his bending.

Sensing Kanuk's surprise, the system explained why he got such an amount of exp.

[Due to the host's superhuman body and lungs. The host body is perfect. Host lung is exceptional for fire bending.]

[Host bloodstream is fused with oxygen five times faster than an elite prodigy. A normal human body is limited as it is still human.]

[With host, that is not a problem as your body is already superhuman. Other benders only have a strong body due to their Chi. You have it because your body is just powerful.]

"So you're saying that I gain exp five times faster due to my body being perfectly suited for fire bending?" Kanuk asked with a weird look on his face.

He was a water bender. Now, he was perfect for fire bending? It sounded strange, but he went with it. Fire is the coolest bending, just behind Earth bending.

"Hmmm... I am about to main my bending to Earth. Then secondary to Fire." Kanuk looked up with a thoughtful look on his face. He thought about which bending was better.

"Which bending is the strongest?..."

Which bending is the strongest?

That's my question to you guys. In my opinion, I think it's fire bending and Earth bending.

No air bender and water bender ever made their elements out of nothing. Firebenders can create their Fire. Earth is goated, in my opinion. I have a slight bias due to Toph making it look so good.

I plan to make Kanuk use Earth as the main now since he is already at a very high level in air and water. The main reason is that I want to evolve Earth towards a more special ability.

Fire is goated as well. It's gonna be the secondary bending since I like Fire bending.

What's your opinion?
