The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

The Ch60 Semi Final

"I have to ask the teacher for help,"

After returning from there Asta asked his teacher to train him again with the Night Demon sword, it felt like tomorrow's fight would be the most difficult he thought if he had to fight Hao Chen.

"You look for Row first, without any Space Scope from him it would be very dangerous if we directly use it,"

"Good teacher,"

Asta was looking for Manager Row at the inn, because usually the moments after watching the game in the tournament he must have watched the commotion Ace and Zaru.

"Manager Row I need your help" Asta said.

"Help..? What help..?" Ask Manager.

"I want to train with the teacher using that sword, you know that tomorrow I will most likely fight someone who can control that sword" he said.

"Well then we find a wider place, not behind the inn,"

Asta and Manager went to find a suitable location to practice, they left Hansu city to go to the forest.

"That's enough. Here the location is very fitting if used to practice," said Manager.

They chose the Sabana Field to practice, Manager Row activated his spirit essence and created a space separate from the outside world. So that the aura from the Night Demon sword could not spread.

"Are you ready..?" Ask Flares.

"Teachers this time will not be like before. Teacher will be very hard on you in this exercise" Flares said.

"I'm ready whenever the teacher will start his training" Asta replied as he pulled out the Night Demon Sword from the scabbard.

Manager Row sat outside watching Asta who was training with Flares. While eating a snack he enjoyed it, not far from behind him he heard the voice of a conversation someone who was arguing.

"Zaru and Ace? Why are they here?" Gumam Manager Row.

In the distance in the dark of the night can be seen the shadow of the figure of the two of them who are heading towards him. The two of them sat noisily while watching Asta's training.

Flares played his sword techniques only with Asta's wooden sword, not to mention that the training was to increase his soul power against the sword's aura.

A few seconds later Asta fell under the pressure of the aura. Without the help of his teacher, the sword aura is so crazy and difficult to control that Asta could not survive.

The aura of the night demon sword was not something Asta could control easily even though he could already control the dark sky sword. The aura of the sword was still far compared to that of a night demon.

"Take out the dark sky and use the sword together with the night demon. It is impossible to master the night demon sword with your current abilities, now it is better to improve the quality of the dark sky sword,"

Asta swung the two swords at once, trying to make some new moves that his teacher taught him.

Not only did his soul power increase his sword ability also became better than before. Using the dark sky beside the night demon sword made the aura of the dark sky become stronger than before.

"Enough with the training today. If you really want to master this sword then we do it after the tournament is over and we continue," flares said the training ended at midnight and Asta needed a break for tomorrow's match at the tournament.

The manager opened his technique and let them out. The aura from the sword had already disappeared since Asta put it back into its sheath.

The morning sun shone brightly starting the day that the martial arts tournament would enter the round of 4. This time the atmosphere of the audience seats was more and more dense than usual.

From above the seat Moegi shouted towards Asta.

"It...!!! Fight on..!!!!"

From the seat of the 7 Great Sect Chief Misaki and Rai from behind his mask smiled looking at Asta's appearance which received a lot of spotlight and support.

The spectators looked impatient for the match to begin. The remaining participants who qualified for the semifinal round included: Asta from the Red Dawn Association, Kenshin from the Dark Wing, Hao Chen from the Lotus Flower Sect, etc, and Cang Hue from the Cloud Palace Sect.

Other than the Red Dawn and Dark Wing Association, the Cloud Palace Sect and the Lotus Flower were a sect that was rarely heard of. It was because the two sects were only small sects so not many people knew about it.

"Well, since the audience is looking forward to this match, let's start this tournament right now..!!!!"

"The first match will be Kenshin from the Dark Wing against Hao Chen from the Lotus Flower Sect then in the second match there is the Asta Dark Red Dawn Association who will fight Cang Hue from the Cloud Palace Sect. Which according to the audience will qualify for the final round...?!!! Let's start the match of the Semi Final Phase of the Martial Arts Tournament...!!!!!!"

Kenshin also climbed to the top of the arena while looking in the other direction where Hao Chen had also climbed to the top of the arena.

"I hope you don't forget about yesterday Kenshin...!!!" Asta shouted at him.

"Ohh of course not," replied Kenshin softly as he removed his mask. The face he covered up during the Martial Arts Tournament began to finally be seen by the eyes of the spectators.

"What..!! He is so young..!!!"

"He took off his mask in this match..!! What happened..!!"

"He was about to reveal himself..!!"

The eyes of the audience focused on him. The opening of the mask caught the attention of everyone. No exception with Rai Ken who also immediately stood in his place.

Kenshin waved his hand while smiling at him, his mouth moving like saying 'Hi, Patriarch Rai'.

Rai Ken sat back in his chair. He was very surprised to see the young man representing the Dark Wing was apparently one of the disciples as well as the son of his Sect Elder who had left the Sect. I should have realized it from the beginning just from the name he thought.

"How now? I've kept my promise and after this it's your turn" Kenshin said, pointing at Asta.

"Who's afraid. Just wait later," Asta replied briefly.

Hao Chen greeted Kenshin for a moment before taking out a sword that had an aura as intense as the Night Devil.

The guards hurriedly put up a barrier to prevent the bloodthirsty aura from spreading from the sword. They don't want it until the audience is contaminated and rampaging about it.

"I know Kenshin's brother's abilities are very strong but I hope you give up now. Just so you know that my Sky Demon Sword apart from having a bloodthirsty aura that can eat away at the soul of a Great God is also very difficult for me to control," said Hao Chen intimidated him with the sword.

Kenshin laughed softly at the remark, "a sword master who cannot control his own sword does not deserve the title of a sword master," Kenshin replied and disappeared attacking him first.

"It is precisely because of that that that I don't actually want to use it just to humiliate me, but what can I do. This is my only sword,"

Hao Chen just stood quietly without any preparation to dodge. Kenshin appeared from behind with his sword slash but then his sword slash was held back by Hao Chen's Sky Demon sword. The sword was not Hao Chen who swung it but rather the sword itself that moved to protect it.

"Don't I tell you to just give up. Honestly, I can't control him not to hurt you if you get hit by him" Hao Chen said, exhaling slowly.

"Your sword seems to be very powerful, the Spirit God Artifact is indeed in accordance with its reputation does not disappoint me at all. But just because this doesn't mean I'm gonna be scared of you,"

"Perfect Transformation, Blue-Eyed Owl"

"Technic Spirit, Nothingness"

Kenshin activates spirit techniques and transformations simultaneously. Makes it disappear from people's eyes.

Although briefly Kenshin showed his wings but everyone knows what animal wings are. None other than the wings of the Blue Eye Owl which is an Ancient Animal Race that has the best support system. In addition to providing the ability to fly also increases the entire attribute of the cultivation base.

"Brother Ken has a lot of surprising secrets. Since you're playing seriously then I won't hesitate either,"

The Sky Devil moved every time Kenshin appeared to attack him making Hao Chen's defense like no gap to attack. A perfect defense that is very profitable.

Hao Chen prepared a Heavenly Blue Lotus of his and created a lotus rain over the arena. The lotus exploded every time it touched the arena floor.

Kenshin coughed to reveal himself, one of the lotuses exploded and hit him.

'Shit! The perfect defense supported with the True Spirit Spirit Essence that possessed powerful attacking power made it extremely difficult to defeat. Although as a fellow true cultivator, my strength is far less than him. Where Asta once knew a figure like him,'

Kenshin steadied his pace to make another attack. But a bad premonition filled his mind when he saw clearly that the Celestial Devil was not around Hao Chen.

"Slashh..!!!!"

"Ukh-h!! Shit..!!! I... off guard...!!" Kenshin was lying with a sword slash wound on his back. Behind him was a Heaven Demon sword covered in blood.

"I'm sorry brother Ken, this is all I can do to beat you. You must have thought that the Celestial Devil would only move to protect me to the point that you were off guard like this,"

Asta and the guards went up to the arena to give him first aid immediately. Seeing the panicked Asta seeing Kenshin get hurt because of it Hao Chen felt a little guilty towards him.

"Young master, I..."

"Don't say it again. This is a martial arts tournament match, something like this is definitely going to happen don't worry about it" Asta said.

Hearing these words Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief as Asta said he would not bother about it. He could also descend from the arena quietly.

The next match is Asta against Cang Hue, after finishing with Kenshin Asta back on the arena to welcome his opponent.

"Brother Cang is happy to meet you," Asta greeted kindly as he removed his mask.

"So do I, Asta," she replied with a friendly smile looking at Asta's smiling face.

On the podium of the sect head Rai Ken and Misaki were simultaneously standing from his seat. Even though they already knew that he was her son but after seeing her sweet smiling face it made her heart full. The two of them were eager to jump on top of the arena following him.

"What do you want to do?! Do you guys want to mess up the tournament and make the Emperor and Manager angry?!!" The whisper of Fujan Daru the Patriarch of the Blue Crescent Sect was holding Rai Ken.

"If you want to find trouble then do it yourself do not take us!" The whisper of Shai Ya Matriarch of the Ancestral Land Sect stopped Misaki.

"But he..."

"What?!! Don't do anything else. Sit down quickly before the manager sees your attitude!" Shai Ya's whisper cuts off Misaki's speech, almost mentioning that Asta is her son.

They both sat back in their seats. While on the podium where Emperor Arkhan and Manager Row were located there was also a little commotion.

Manager Row poked his head against the table when he saw that Asta had not listened to him at all to not take off the mask.

"It's up to him to use his spirit techniques but why did he choose to unmask..!!!" Zaru and Ace laughed at the words coming out of his mouth. They already knew that Asta was not a child that could be easily arranged again. He has his own stance.

Asta pulled out his dark sky sword to prepare to fight with Cang Hue.

"It looks like your sword aura has grown stronger by several times compared to before. Did you cover up the sword's original strength?" Cang Hue asked in astonishment.

Asta thought slowly to answer the question before then nodding innocently.

Cang Hue lunged forward giving the first strike. In that attack he instantly activated the essence of his universe hand.

Asta quickly turned his sword to withstand the blow. Seeing the punch power produced by Cang Hue's spirit essence made Asta eager to pit empty-handed fighting techniques with him.

"Brother Cang can you stop your attack first I want to put my sword and fight empty-handed with you. If I take the opportunity to attack then I will surrender defeat, the arena guards will be the witness,"

The arena guard nodded at him. Soon Cang Hue stopped his attack.

"Are you sure you don't want to use that sword again?"

"Not unwilling anymore but seeing you fight with your bare hands also makes me excited to pit my bare-handed martial arts understanding with you,"

Asta also put his sword into his ring as well as his Thorn Taring Claw. The manager widened his eyes to see Asta who also released his Thorn Taring Claw not only took off his mask.

"Well, now that we're ready, what if we continue the fight, brother Cang..?" Asta said, smiling at him.

"Alright then I'll start the attack again I hope you can withstand my attack well,"

Cang Hue also started the attack again while smiling Asta resisted the attack with just one hand.

Both of them smiled while saying the same word.

"You're very strong. Looks like it's going to be an interesting fight..!"
