The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Ch41 Forging

"The thing is I don't know what kind of title he has in this cultivation world, but isn't he a brother-in-law, Manager? He was the one who raised Chen Hao from childhood until now, Chen always called him Uncle Hao. He only once told me his name, Hao Ryun, and Chen Hao's own real name was Hao Ryun" Asta explained.

Of course, the Manager knew that the sword was only owned by his fellow students while training under Flares' guidance, he stood up while pounding the table.

"What's the Manager?" Asta asked surprised at the Manager's attitude like that.

"Where did you see it?!!" Ask Manager.

"There is a small alley located in one of the places on the sidelines of the city," explained Asta.

"We're leaving now," Manager Row asked Asta to show him the way to the location where he had met Hao Ryun before.

They quickly arrived at the location where Asta had previously met Hao Ryun, but unfortunately, they were late when viewed from an inscription on the ground. It seemed that Hao Ryun and Chen Hao had left the rickety hut some time before.

Asta also read the writing on the ground, "Look, I will wait for your development as the heir to the True Spirit Master, the Light-Eating Fire. Me and my son, looking forward to you, Asta..!!!"

Manager Row was sitting in a doldrums, this was the umpteenth time he lost track of his brother, Asta then approached him and asked who exactly Hao Ryun was, why did they not meet each other when they themselves were students of Master Flares.

"Hao Ryun, or the figure usually known as 'Demon Hunter Master', he was one of the geniuses who broke through the boundaries of the Great God and became a Celestial Expert at a relatively young age. He was born with the Spirit Essence of the Universe Type, the Sun Lotus Flower. Under Master's guidance he developed into the fastest among the three of us, the Night Demon Sword you have now is an artifact that Master made specially as a gift for him," obviously Manager Row told me everything he knew about him.

Asta was astonished to hear the story did not expect that the figure he knew as Uncle Hao was such a powerful figure in the cultivation world, even Manager Row alone flattered him so highly.

"What does the manager mean between the three of us? Did the Manager put me among those three?" Ask Asta curious.

"You didn't put me in yourself because you're special, other than Me and Hao there's still one more person under Master's guidance, do you want to know,"

"Of course, after all he is my senior, of course I have to know him," Asta said.

"If I tell you that our Arkhan Emperor is the third brother of the two of us would you believe it?"ask Manager.

"If he is indeed as good as the Manager or Uncle Hao, of course I believe, after all I never know about this Arkhan Emperor whether strong or not I am not looking for his year," Asta replied innocently.

Since there was nothing more to guide in finding Hao Ryun, Manager Row invited Asta to return to the Red Dawn Association.

"The first brother himself is very difficult to meet, if ever met maybe it was just a coincidence caused by an unexpected event. And you Asta, you even got something like the Night Demon Sword from him. That means he believes that you will be able to tread at the same height as it seems, I hope your spirit continues to survive until later," said Manager.

"Of course, if not how can I meet them both. I'm definitely not going to disappoint them" Asta replied.

Arriving back at Association Manager Row told him to go back to rest in his room.

In his room Asta did not really fall asleep, the shadow of the two people's figure was still stored in his mind, he really did not expect to be able to meet a large figure who was also a Disciple of his Master.

"Uncle Hao seems like a very great person, so why should the Human faction still have to fear against the power of the Big 7 Sin Faction. Whether there was some kind of rule that made high-level cultivators unable to interfere, Manager Row also did not take part in the war,"

Asta got up from his bed completely unable to sleep that night, as if there were so many things bothering his head, he decided to read a book containing important information about supernatural animals.

A few hours passed quickly and he did not feel like he had finished reading a few hours, he put the books back in his ring and tried to sleep.

Just as he closed his eyes someone came to disturb his sleep. That person was none other than Flares, his own teacher.

"My dear disciple, get up quickly, Master has a gift for you" he said.

"Teacher.. Is there no time tomorrow morning, it's mid-night, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep," he said slowly still in the closed condition.

"Well," Flares nodded and left, a few moments later he returned with a bucket of water in his hand.

'Byuuurrrrr.' without further ado Flares directly poured the water on him.

"Akhh-h!!!"Asta also woke up, his facial features look upset, his eyes reddened with drowsiness.

"Oh teacher, your student is still sleepy after all, it's still midnight, can't we continue the practice tomorrow," complaining about what his teacher wanted him to do, Asta guessed that he just wanted to give him a workout.

"Your long night! Get up quickly, quickly," said Flares immediately pulled his ear and dragged him out.

The servants smiled in astonishment at her acting strangely, as they could not see Flares pulling Asta's ears and only saw Asta walking alone with his ears interested.

Flares took him out of the Association, the sunlight instantly highlighted his face, "What a glare, what a lamp is this," he muttered then covered his glittering eyes.

"You want to know what lights are? Here you go,"

"Plakk..!!!"

"Ohhh..!! Teacher what are you doing why did you slap me..?!!" His cry was immediately conscious, seeing the origin of the bright light he chuckled with embarrassment when he realized that it was morning.

After that Flares then took him back into the room reserved for Forging Experts.

"Redirect the entire contents of all the rings you get into this storage bracelet. Then give it all to me" Flares said.

"What does the teacher want to do with my ring?" Asta asked curiously, he immediately moved all the contents of the rings into the bracelet that his teacher gave.

"Teacher wants to upgrade it to a storage bracelet or maybe you want to keep it like this?" Ask Flares.

"If so of course I'm interested in making it as a bracelet because each box has an area about 10 times larger than the ring. But teacher, I want the shape to remain a ring but it has the same area as a storage bracelet can it..?" Ask Asta.

"It's not that hard,"

Flares also began the process of changing shape to the Ring Artifact using his Spirit Essence Fire, the entire ring melted and began to fuse into a lump.

Flares then began to shape it into a bracelet and then he reduced the size of the bracelet. In a few moments later the process of changing the shape of the Artifact was completed. Then created a level 5 storage ring with 100 meters³ storage space per box. Flares gave the ring to him.

"Teachers are great, how can teachers shape them using only spirit control and without a furnace..?" Ask Asta curious.

Flares smiled and explained the technique he used in forging the ring and the method to learn it.

"The technique that the teacher used was a high-level forging technique, which made the Spirit Essence a furnace of burning and forming. This technique is very difficult to learn because it requires a strong soul force in maintaining the temperature of the fire," he explained.

Asta nodded in understanding while listening to the teacher's explanation further he decided to move the contents of the bracelet given by his teacher to his own.

"So do you understand now? For this, of course, the teacher will not share the teacher's understanding with you or later you can only rely on the understanding of others to grow stronger, the rest you learn by yourself," said the teacher.

"I understand the teacher" Asta replied.

"In this kind of teacher's condition, it would be very difficult for the teacher to create a Spirit Artifact that's why Master told you to look for a Forger in this city" he explained.

"In performing the purification of artifacts there are several steps that must be taken. That is melting, Forging, Core Forming, Unification, and Cleaning. But the artifacts are ordinary then the process is only Smelting, Forging, and Cleaning only," he explained.

Flares then took a level 1 iron for Asta to practice making artifacts, first he began teaching him how to make artifacts from the most basic of all, he said, although Asta actually already knew it from the book that his teacher had given but he did not mind when his teacher wanted to practice it first to him.

"Try you make a throwing knife like that using this iron" he said, pointing at the throwing knife on the wall.

"Okay teacher, I'll try it," Asta replied and put the iron into the furnace and began the smelting process.

"Furnace needs energy intake as fuel, the more stable the amount of energy given then the better the smelting process, because the amount of energy entered suddenly can cause....."

'Twoaarrr!!!'

Not having time to finish his words, the incident he just wanted to explain had happened first, Flares was looking at him sharply.

"Hehehehe.. I'm sorry, teacher," he said, chuckling softly. Because of the explosion Asta's face turned black and his hair was messy, he immediately cleaned his face again.

"Sorry teacher, I think that by including more spirit it will be faster the process of melting, but it turns out the opposite," said Asta slowly saw the former furnace explosion before.

Flares sighed softly seeing Asta's behavior, after which he took another level 1 iron for him because the iron that had been destroyed had exploded along with the fire furnace that exploded.

"Follow what the teacher said, don't rush like that" he said, giving him the iron.

"Teacher is it alright for us to use the facilities of the Red Dawn Association? It's okay if we are constantly utilizing their resources" Asta asked.

"Heh, would the teacher spend all the resources of the Red Dawn Association even if no one would protest. After all, all the things in this Association are the property of the teacher, of course the teacher has the right to use the Association's resources, the teacher has the right to use the Association's resources, you think Row would dare to speak when his own Master used a facility that should have belonged to his teacher" Flares explained.

Flares then ended the conversation and began to invite Asta to carry out the purification of artifacts again, now Asta no longer acts rashly as before, carefully following the directions given by his teacher.

An hour later after failing several times Asta finally managed to create a throwing knife as his teacher directed.

So happy because he managed to create an Asta artifact was jumping up and down in excitement, Asta then asked some level 1 materials to his teacher to hone his forging ability, Asta then asked his teacher to hone his forging ability, because he himself felt that the materials and medicinal ingredients in his ring were expensive items and not ordinary items, he said, of course it would be very dear if he practiced and ruined it all. Flares was happy to give him level 1 materials for him to practice.

"If you can create a minimum of 10 level 1 artifacts with these materials within 2 days, go and meet Row, ask him for the Book of Soul Compound. It was an intact version of the Heavenly Art that you practiced all along, that low-tier Heavenly Art, the Demolition Sect. The Raga compound you used is even flawed, if you learn the original version maybe you'll know its power" said the teacher.

"Good teacher," Asta replied while nodding.

"Then just continue your training, the teacher wants to rest first," he said and left Asta training alone in the room.

"Eventually the teacher left too, now I can sleep here for a while," he said slowly while yawning.

Asta also walked in the corner of the room looking for the perfect place to enjoy his sleep for a moment, because he had not slept at all.

Half an hour passed after Flares left Asta in the forging room, Flares himself did not really go to sleep as he said but rather he entered another forging room to watch over him.

Half an hour later, Flares remained silent and waited in the room, but she could not feel any fluctuations in strength from Asta's room for that long, he still thinks that maybe Asta is studying a furnace first in the room.

But then he sensed that Zaru was also visiting the Forging Hall of the Association, curious about what the little bear Flares wanted to do.

"What he wants to do here" Flares said softly.

"Actually where the boy is, I'm really tired of staying in this association. The master also seems to be giving training to him, it seems to be quite pleasant to see him who is in distress rather than die of boredom here," Zaru said and then tried to examine each room with his aura, he also found a room where he knew Asta must be in it.

"Was master really telling him to practice, why is the room so quiet as no one, isn't it that every time Forging will definitely bring out an energy fluctuation, it's kind of weird that I have to check it out," muttered Zaru then entered the room where Asta was asleep inside.

"Break..!!"

Flares opened his eyes wide when he heard a strange sound in Asta's room he rushed to check it.

"Zaa..Zaru's... What ya.yang ka.you do here," said Asta stammered confused should give a reason what.

"Basic slackers instead of practicing you fall asleep here" said Zaru and pulled his ear.

"Yeshuduhi...!!!! Zaru stop, it can take it off...!!" Shouted Asta.

"Leave it," Zaru replied.

"I also don't know why I fell asleep, I was practicing before, but I suddenly fell asleep just a few moments ago and now I wake up when you wake me up, I thank you" Asta said.

"What's going on here..?" Flares asked with her eyes sharp.

"Dam!!!! Teacher I can explain, I can explain everything," Asta said trying to stop his teacher who was walking towards him, his premonition so bad.

Zaru removed his hand from Asta's ear and handed it to Flares.

"Based on a bad boy, you really need to be punished for wasting your time,"

"Ohhhhhh...!!! No..!!!! Please don't, please... Ahhh...!!!"
