Although Kahn's remarks left Aang and the others somewhat confused, knowing that they already had the strength to defeat Ozai allowed them to ease their previously hurried schedule, letting Aang learn bending as he made his way toward Omashu at an unhurried pace.
Aang, however, hardly felt relaxed. Not only did he have to study three kinds of bending at once, but he also had to undergo extra training in the basics of spiritbending under Kahn. His days were simply too full.
Whenever Aang studied bending, Kahn would sit in as well. Besides learning a great deal, he could not help marveling at how Team Avatar brimmed with talent.
Aang was not only the Avatar but also an airbending prodigy, having invented his own airbending move and become an Airbending Master at the age of twelve;
Katara, currently the Southern Water Tribe's only Waterbender, had never encountered waterbending before setting out on her journey with Aang. After just a few days of instruction from Master Kupa in the Northern Water Tribe, she had mastered waterbending to a level that earned her the title of master from Kupa himself;
Toph's talent was even more astonishing. Her earthbending had not come from anyone's instruction. Instead, she had gotten lost as a child and encountered Badgermoles, grasped the true essence of earthbending from them, and created a style of earthbending all her own.
They could only be called monstrous talents.
Kahn was extremely interested in the earthbending Toph had created. Not only did he never miss a single lesson she gave Aang, but he even took the initiative to discuss bending with her. His diligent eagerness to learn put so much pressure on Aang that his scalp tingled.
