The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Chapter 026 Unexpected (revision)

Kenshin mused over what Helio said in the room, leaving the sect or going against the heavenly law, both of which were heavy choices for him. Kenshin regretted having learned the intangible swordsmanship from his uncle, because that was what brought him to his present state.

However, it is precisely because of this event that Kenshin finally knows who his birth mother that Helio has been hiding from him. There was a feeling of pleasure, there was also a feeling of disappointment in the heart. All feelings are mixed into one.

"Dad, I'm sorry. Maybe it's my destiny, I hope you're not disappointed in me who has to choose to see you. All this time, my father was the most important in my development. But right now, I am forced to leave the sect.." he muttered softly.

Kenshin settles down on the bed, staring at the ceiling in his room. However Helio was one of the Elders of the Training Hall, if he as his son left the sect without the Patriarch's consent, it was likely that Helio would bear the penalty. Helio could have been removed from his position as the Elder of the Training Hall.

Kenshin was still pensive in his room until nightfall, until now he still could not make a decision. Between staying in the sect and becoming an ordinary human, or going to leave the practicing sect under the direction of his uncle.

Every now and then, Helio knocked on the door and asked if his son wanted to eat or something. But Kenshin only replied that he did not want anything.

Kenshin stays awake all night until the sun returns to light. After staying up all night, Kenshin finally made a decision. Kenshin washed his face with water then went to the Hall of the Combat Training Hall, meeting Helio to inform him of his decision.

Kenshin entered the hall looking for his father's whereabouts, "Dad, are you here..?" Call Kenshin to spread his eyes.

The Hall of the Combat Training Hall looked quite quiet, it seemed that no one wanted to do a match training at this moment. Helio was seen taking advantage of this leisure opportunity to practice.

"Have you made a decision, Ken..?"

Kenshin nodded as he threw away his face, unable to see the expression Helio had shown him. Helio frowned looking at his attitude.

"Kenshin, no matter what decisions you make, I will always support you. If something bad happens and you need help, don't hesitate to tell me. Don't worry dad, I hope with you we can establish a relationship with the Dark Elves. Practice diligently during the time in Yue Province, Frozen Moon," Helio put on a fake smile then patted both of his shoulders to calm down.

"Yue Province, Freezing Moon? Isn't the High Cliff Country..?" Ask Kenshin wonder.

"Since the Dark Elves have a branch of power in the Frozen Moon Yue Province, your uncle will definitely take you there. I'm sure with certainty, your uncle will train you in the Frozen Moon Yue Province until the tournament arrives" he explained.

Kenshin nodded in understanding now.

"Anyway, your uncle is not a random person. If you have to fight with him, you're not sure you can beat him even if you give him your full strength. It might end up a draw. The Spirit Shadow of Light was the legacy of their ancestral spirit. Therefore, only by following your uncle can you cultivate your spirit essence to the highest stage. Remember dad's message.."

Kenshin lowered his head, "Indeed it sounds simple, like I just need to get away from the sect. But how will you explain it to Patriarch Rai..? Although I am only an inner disciple, I am the son of my father. Whatever I do will definitely have repercussions on my father" asked Kenshin.

"Don't think about it, let me explain it to the Patriarch. Dad knew him first, besides that the Patriarch was not a difficult person to talk to. The patriarch will definitely understand this. So, don't worry about it.." Helio scrambles Kenshin's hair. He just didn't want to miss this opportunity, before his son actually left. Because Helio knew, once Kenshin left, he might never come back.

Kenshin returns home, preparing to clean up everything he will need, such as clothes or anything else. While waiting for the night and his father home, Kenshin intends to train the third movement of intangible swordsmanship. Because of the two initial moves he had quite mastered it proficiently.

During this time, although Kenshin was born with a god spirit, he never cultivated it. Since there was no suitable heavenly art in the True Fire Flame Sect, Kenshin therefore chose the path of sword as his father taught. Several times Kenshin thought of a method of fighting to unite spirits and swords, but his understanding of the heavenly way was still insufficient, so Kenshin ultimately failed. Because in order to achieve that, Kenshin must first reach the spirit and sword creation phase where he must break through to the Master Realm.

Although the light shadow spirit was very strong, Kenshin could not bring out its potential. Even if training him, without any cultivation techniques relating to his star spirit element, the speed of his spirit essence realm enhancement was extremely slow. It was different when cultivating the sword path with the cultivation technique related to the sword path that was his father's gift.

Kenshin was envious to see Asta born with the Spirit of the Light-Eating Fire God who had a powerful destructive power. But then, Kenshin also realized that he was the same as her, born with a powerful god spirit. The difference is, Asta was born with a powerful god spirit in the right place, whereas Kenshin was not.

Kenshin let out a tired sigh, the day was getting darker which meant just waiting for the time to leave the sect immediately.

Behind the back door of his yard, Helio was standing waiting for him. Kenshin slightly flinched then grimaced awkwardly.

"Your movement is still stiff, it seems you're still not used to it, is it? Before you leave, I'll show you how.." Helio took out a wooden sword and walked towards the backyard.

Helio started swinging the wooden sword, doing a few steps of sword swing movements. Kenshin gawks at her.

"Ehh...?! Did you learn it from my moves earlier..?" Kenshin asked wonder why his father could be so lazy.

"Of course not. Long ago, your mother once taught me the intangible sword movement. Because after all, the intangible sword arts had the core as a sword technique. Even though you weren't born with a shadow spirit, you have a speed that can cover up your shortcomings" he said with a proud smile.

Kenshin put on a flat face, "If you've learned it, then why didn't you teach it to me..?" Angry asked.

"Didn't you always teach this move to you..? Your mother only taught you about her movements, but not the method of inserting shadow spirits into the sword. And for these movements, I often teach you, but you always say your speed is lower than your father's so you can't learn it" he said.

Kenshin grimaced in embarrassment, after Helio said that Kenshin remembered the exercise. If you remember, it turns out that the first to third movement of intangible swordsmanship is something that his father taught him as a child.

But because at that time Kenshin was only a child, he could not follow every movement of his father. In the end Kenshin was given the heavenly art of low-ranking golden soul slashes to train his dexterity and movement speed, until he was able to train the technique. At that time Kenshin still remembered his father named the technique as the Lunar Eclipse Trigger Sword Dance.

"The sword dance that triggered the lunar eclipse is the basic core of intangible swordsmanship that is divided into the first three movements of intangible swordsmanship." he explained.

Kenshin nodded in understanding. He asked his father to repeat his movements.

It was getting dark, and Kenshin was ready to leave whenever he wanted.

"Be careful, take care of your health." Helio's message was brief. He looked at his son's face.

"Yes, Dad. I'll remember it, for sure,"

"Please say hello to my mother. Tell him, dad misses him" he said, grimacing in shame.

Kenshin giggled amusedly hearing that, "Yes, dad. I will definitely tell my mother. I was wondering, what kind of mother would look like so that dad could fall in love with her," she said, still giggling.

After saying goodbye to her, Kenshin jumped out of the window. He did it so as not to attract the attention of people. So, he decided to leave quietly without saying goodbye to the others. He thought, saying goodbye to his comrades will only make everything feel painful.

Behind the window, Helio held his arm watching his son leave his residence. Kenshin jumps from house to house, away from his father's residence.

"I hope that, with him, your training speed will increase greatly. He would be surprised to see you" Helio murmured inwardly.

---

Kenshin speeds up his pace, fearing that his activities would be known to anyone. In the darkness of the night, Kenshin moved with great ease, running towards the city walls. Kenshin knew there was an active arrangement surrounding the city, so he did not act rashly by jumping over the city walls directly.

Kenshin walked to the city gate, some guards standing guard were joking at the time. Kenshin thought through the plan carefully, in order to get through the city gates without any problems. On one of the roofs of the house, Kenshin removed several roof tiles. He inserted a little heavenly source into the tile, to create an explosion upon touching the ground.

Kenshin threw the tile in all directions, far enough from the gate. A few small explosions instantly made the guards alert. They split the group to check each direction of the explosion.

Thus, the city gates were left unattended. Without lingering, Kenshin darted quickly away leaving the city past the gate. After quite a distance, Kenshin took a break for a moment to take a deep breath.

"Goodbye, Dad... Good bye, everybody... I hope, someday we can meet again, also with Asta. So, just wait for our return." said Kenshin softly while looking towards the city.

"Do you intend to leave me too..?" The words of someone who is very Kenshin knows his voice.

Just as Kenshin was about to leave, someone came to stop him. Moegi stood not far behind him.

Kenshin turned his head and found him shedding tears, "Moegi... You, how can you..?"

"I guessed it. Long before you decided to leave. I'm sure that one day you will leave the sect. You and him are the same, both want to reach the top. So, how could you just let him go further than you. This must have something to do with your spirit essence, right..?" Guess Moegi.

Kenshin was speechless, his speech seemed to be stuck in his throat. Kenshin can only nod his head.

"Then, I hope you succeed. Someday I will catch up with you." he said and went to the sect with tears.

Kenshin wants to stop him, but he can't. He has to go now.

"The Third Movement's Intangible Sword Science, the Shapeless Sword Blade,"

That night, Kenshin left the True Fire Flame Sect for an indeterminate time.

What Kenshin feels is true. Not only had Moegi followed him all along, the person was Shiro. Because from the beginning, the one who guessed it was Shiro, and Moegi was only told.

Shiro stood looking at Kenshin who was getting further and further away in the darkness of the night. He decided to return to follow Moegi and report the incident.

"I'm sorry, Ken. But I have to report this to the Patriarch. It's worth it, after leaving with Moegi, you're acting a little weird.."

The morning sun shone on the world, revealing her beautiful and radiant face.

"What happened to me..? Am I unconscious..? Damnit damnit! I could have fallen asleep during the exercise..," Asta grimaced softly as he lifted his body. There was pain and pain in every part of his body.

Asta frowned looking at his surroundings looked unfamiliar, unlike the cave he had used before. Asta tried to get out and it turned out to be true, at this time he was in the cave below.

"What teacher moved me and this pot here." muttered Asta in confusion.

Without thinking about it any further, Asta immediately cleansed the body. After that, he cooked a dish for himself as well as his teacher.

Flares emerged from within the ring while yawning widely, he woke up after smelling the scent of burning flesh.

"Son, you were eating something but didn't wake your teacher. Are you going to eat it alone?"

Asta offered the food he had prepared to his Master. The two then ate with gourmand. Although he had seen his teacher eat several times, Asta was still surprised to see the spirit eating food.

"You again..?" Asta offered him some more food.

"Of course" he said, not refusing.

Flares went back to eating his food. Asta only fell silent to notice the meat that was lost after being bitten by it. For some reason, it felt like he wanted to see the flesh he bit down on the ground through his stomach.

"What is your expression. Do you think the meat that the teacher eats will fall to the ground..?" Tanya Flares saw her disciple so seriously paying attention to her.

"From the beginning I met with the teacher, I always wondered why every meal the teacher ate suddenly disappeared. Though the teacher himself was translucent, I thought the food would just fall,"

Flares gave a small laugh hearing his confusion.

"This meat is still lacking in taste, are you adding enough salt?" Tanya Flares switched the conversation.

"Otherwise, maybe yes. Teacher knows, I'm just cooking something to get her full. I never wasted time learning how to cook. Because I don't think that's important,"

"What did you say..? Doesn't matter...? Do you know any cultivator needs to have high skills when it comes to cooking. You mustn't underestimate this. You're too young to understand" Flares said, a little upset that cooking skills were not important.

"Let's let the teacher give you an interesting gift" he continued.

Asta frowned not understanding, but he still obeyed. Flares pressed the tip of her index finger against her forehead, all the understanding as well as knowledge of how to make a delicious and delicious dish instantly entered her head. Not only that, Flares also shared all his cooking recipes.

Instantly, Asta felt his head filled with various ways and recipes. Asta grimaced the pain of feeling his head almost rupture receiving all the understanding from his teacher.

Asta began to understand why his teacher said that cooking skills are also important. Because not only to eliminate hunger, dishes that have a good aroma and taste delicious can also increase the spirit and other flavors.

"Thank you, teacher," Asta thanked him even while holding his head.

Flares chuckled, "it's only natural that as a teacher I share my understanding with you. It's also for the sake of my stomach, too,"

Asta smiled wryly, it was fitting that his teacher just shared it without making him do something.

"Even if the teacher has died a long time ago, but the teacher is still too calculating. Are teachers not afraid of getting the Heavenly Punishment..?" Said slowly.

Without warning, Flares then touched his eel slowly, but what happened instead made him crash into the cave wall.

"Hey, Son. It is impolite to use such words especially against your own teacher," Flares rebuked him.

Asta tried to stand up and clean his clothes. Asta immediately apologized to him for his disrespectful remarks. But while cleaning his clothes, Asta felt something strange with his body. He did not feel any pain when he hit the cave wall so hard.

"Well, mealtime is over. It's practice time..," Flares said.

"No, wait a minute, teacher. What about my training yesterday..?" Ask Asta curious.

"Why don't you try to check it out yourself?"

Asta was very surprised to find out that his body broke through rank 5, while his basic control broke through to a high stage.

"But, this..."

"No buts," cut Flares and dragged him deeper into the cave. It was unexpected that the cave was a tunnel that led him to the other side of the hell valley.

Not far in front of them, seen a horde of Red Horned Lamb supernatural animals rank 5, was gathering and eating grass.

"The practice is simple, catch all the sheep alive. Without giving internal or external injuries," he explained his current training.

Asta's mouth was gaping wide, rank 4 was already not his range, let alone this rank 5. And his teacher wanted him to catch all the sheep without giving him any injuries. An exercise that is beyond reasonable.

"Teacher, even though they are only a sheep, they are rank 5 supernatural animals. Rank 3 alone I'm not sure I can catch him unharmed, then how can I catch them alive without having to hurt him,"

"Didn't your basic control have reached a high rank? Why don't you use that. Quickly start before they leave," Flares then kicked him forward.

Asta begins to gather his concentration and directs his aura towards the sheep.

"Do you really want to use that way?" Ask Flares.

"I mean teacher? What kind of way is that?" He asked back confused.

"none. Just continue. But remember, catch him alive without getting hurt" he said.

Asta nodded immediately trying to create an aura that he then spread to the surrounding to reach the sheep. At first the sheep were silent, Asta smiled faintly because he thought he had succeeded.

Just as he was stepping, the sheep turned towards him simultaneously. Asta felt a bad premonition coming with him from all directions.

"Teachers, they're harmless, right..?" He spoke slowly while looking back where his teacher was. But unfortunately, Flares had already run away leaving him laughing out loud.

"Teacher...!!!! You fucked me...!!!" Shouted Asta who then ran away from the place.

"Mr...!!!!" The sheep bleated and chased after him. Asta shouted hysterically, looking at those who started running chasing. While in front, Flares was still laughing out loud.
