The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Ch69 Fixing Failure

Elsewhere, the Fortress of Northern Defense.

“What exactly did the three leaders of the Cursed Valley Country decide to attack us?”

The war had ended in victory at the hands of the Emperor himself, but Manager Row's heart was still uncomfortable with the brief victory.

The Cursed Valley Country only had an area as large as the Frozen Moon Country and possessed considerable strength, but they should have realized that the empire had a power that was many times greater than their army.

“Motif they are really confusing where maybe they want to rule the empire with just one million troops?” Arkhan.

Hao Ryun silently looked towards the east where the Desolate Country Mountains were supposed to be.

“Have come.” Hao Ryun muttered softly.

Sontak Manager and Emperor immediately turned in that direction and sure enough from a distance looks smoke that soared high filled the sky.

About 2 million troops stormed from the east at high speed, within half an hour the troops would reach the site.

“I told you to let them live is like keeping a dangerous snake,” Hao Ryun prepared with his five swords.

Emperor Arkhan raised his spear back while the Manager who was a cultivator with dimensional tube spirit essence prepared to use his ability to give some time for them to prepare.

“Tekhnik Spirit, Fortress Dimensions”

Manager Row activated his spirit essence and created an invisible landscape to protect them, the troops preparing with their weapons to return to battle.

“Tian Wei..!!! Get out you coward....!!!” shouted Hao Ryun leading the troops to deliver the opening attack.

-----

“Grandpa are you okay now?” ask Rosalina.

“Look down, grandfather is even healthier than usual,” replied the demon with the burly body, Tian Wei.

“Today is the day that the glory of Arkhan Empire for so many years collapsed,” Tian Lan smiled sinisterly.

“Of course,” Tian Wei replied with a smile and then a big laugh.

In the midst of the conversation father and son, the loud voice of the battle cry had begun.

“Tian Wei..!!! Get out you coward....!!!”

Tian Wei's laughter instantly fell silent at that very instant, his face becoming even more wrathful than before.

“Keparat..!!!” Tian Wei directly jumped towards the front of the troops.

“Whatever you are I won't hesitate to destroy you..!!!” Tian Wei landed in front of Row's artificial barrier, he clenched his hands and struck the barrier.

His punch shook the barrier but nevertheless Tian Wei also bounced slightly back.

From inside the barrier Hao Ryun jumped out and gave some attacks, “si old Wei you turned out to still not die from injuries at that time,” he said.

Tian Wei slightly gasped at the voice he recognized,“Nak it was you I thought who, you made your other two swords.?” asked Wei with a slight smile.

“Which else? Of course I give it to the promising young generation,” the answer is short not to stop giving attacks.

The clash of energies emitted from Hao Ryun's aura against Tian Wei caused an enormous surge of energy, some people instantly crashed down the instant they started fighting.

“This is your own fault that chose not to kill me decades ago,” he said smilingly,“Your brother is indeed someone very good, I admire his kindness rather than yours,”

“If you talk a lot you will be killed by me,”he replies mocking.

“Your mouth is always sharp as usual, but that's why I'm more interested in killing you here and following your master to the afterlife,” Tian Wei pulled out his machete against Hao Ryun who fought with those 5 swords.

The barrier made by the Manager was very strong and difficult to destroy so it took a long time for enemy troops to attack, while from within the fortress the imperial army could provide outgoing attacks.

“Strong and strong strength I believe this is the technique used by the boy Row,” guess Tian Wei, said, “I don't think you three Dao Master boys who used to work together to defeat me now are the Dao Ancestor boys,”

“Wei you talk too much you think I won't be able to kill you,”remeh Hao Ryun.

“Of course you won't be able to get over with just five swords,”

“Transformation, Blood Devil"

Tian Wei transformed into his animal spirit form which was a Hell Devil, Hao Ryun was knocked back by Tian Wei's suddenly strengthening machete attack.

Tian Wei's previous form and appearance alone was extremely frightening now that he had transformed into a Hell Devil his appearance actually gave even heavenly expert cultivators goosebumps. The Hell Devil was one of the 11 Ancient Animal Races of the Atalist Continent.

Hao Ryun certainly did not constantly hold back his strength, he also activated his 3 transformations at once but unlike most people Hao Ryun activated them on his sword.

A huge figure tens of meters high fell from the sky destroying the fortress created by Manager Row.

“Master Wei is happy to be working with you again after decades have passed,”

Tian Wei smiled at him,“It's time we won this delayed fight,”he told the figure who was none other than his animal spirit, the Devil of Hell.

Hao Ryun certainly would not just let the figure play around with the imperial army, he whistled to summon 3 True Twin Eagle as his animal spirit who was also the same Ancient Animal Spirit.

“It's great to be fighting with you again, sir,” they said simultaneously.

“The three of you help me hold it,” Hao Ryun's orders.

In the midst of the fight, Emperor Arkhan and Manager Row appeared to help, the two of them appeared in a transformed state.

“My friend is counting on you.!!!” the Arkhan Emperor shouted at his animal spirit, the Horned Bear.

“Of course,” The bear turned into a big as the Hell Devil and fought against him along with 3 True Eagle Hao Ryun who was then followed by Row's Red Eye Tiger.

“Prove that you are king....!!!” shouted Row.

“You can trust me,”

That way the Hell Devil was suppressed by the Horned Bear, the Red-Eyed Tiger was also the three True Hawks who continued to attack him nonstop.

Tian Wei instead of fearing he instead smiled calmly full of confidence, “My squad..!!! Call your Animal Spirits...!!!! We level the Arkhan Empire at once..!!! It is time for us to lead this empire....!!!” tian Wei's orders loudly.

The three of them were surprised to hear that.

Back again where Asta was with his teacher, Ace and Zaru.

“Hahahaha...!!! I've never seen a medic blow up his leg a few times like you,” Zaru sneered while laughing, while Ace was endlessly laughing.

“Shut!!” asta shouted annoyed.

After that Asta tried again compounding it and after a while he was successful but the pill he created still did not get a pill with one hundred percent effectiveness, can only get pills with a quarter percent effectiveness from the original.

Ace and Zaru again laughed at his failure, while grunting Asta left and stopped his training.

Asta sat in one of the places there contemplating his failure, he tried to find out what caused him to fail repeatedly when he had actually done what his teacher had directed.

“Actually where is my fault?” asta wondered.

Asta looked at the hollow stone through which the waterfall passed, he thought who put the hollow stone there why the hole fit perfectly with the waterfall discharge.

In his mind he thought of closing the hole with a larger stone, jumping down. Flares did not stop him and just let him reflect on his failure.

“A great Master is one who finds his own failure and fixes it back to be better than before,” muttered Flares quietly.

The next day Flares only told Asta to hunt down some supernatural animals in the river for them to eat, after which he let Asta back do what he wanted to do.

“Zaru don't bother him, this is his chance to learn from his mistakes, you too,” Flares orders on Ace and Zaru, they nod and leave.

Asta looked back at the bottom of the waterfall, the stone he had previously placed slightly changed at the top.

Asta returns to his teacher and survives when they will continue their journey to the Valley of the Stone Country.

“Actually the purpose of the teacher taking you to the Valley of the Stone Country is to get a material that you will use to form the body of the teacher, we do not need to rush there anyways this place also contains abundant medicines. We can use this place for you to practice and explore the Dark Fire God Book and also the Soul Compounding Book perfectly,” Flares explained.

Asta nodded in understanding, “Teacher before that I want to ask for some time..”.

“Teacher understand. Master will let you this time to reflect on what made you fail. Before you know it, the teacher won't tell you anything about compounding, it's for your own progress,” Flares.

“Thank you, Master!”

A few days later after Asta placed the rock under the waterfall he again checked if there was a change in the stone, whether the hole was created by a waterfall or indeed someone put it there intentionally.

And sure enough the big stone he placed on the hollow stone also came hollow after several days of being dropped by a waterfall continuously. From there Asta got enlightenment why he always failed in concocting drugs.

“Revealed so. It is fitting that I always fail to do so,” muttered Asta slowly.

Ace and Zaru were astonished to see Asta suddenly take out the twin dragon fire furnace after a few days just spending time hunting the low-level supernatural beasts in the river.

“Wind to blow up the furnace after a few days of playing around?” ask Zaru.

“What do you want to do are you really capable of concocting a tier two pill now?” ask Ace.

Asta did not answer any of their questions and chose to start the process of compounding the blood vessel pill.

Asta put in the ingredients of the pill and started the smelting process,“If I still did not understand what the process of smelting ingredients was but now I really understand it well, this time I will definitely succeed, this time I will definitely succeed,” inner Asta in a confident heart.

-----

The thing Asta thinks is that he wants to melt the materials one by one or at the same time in the end the material will be melted, he will melt, but the ingredients that are melted first will definitely lose their efficacy by a few percent so that it affects the efficacy of the pill.

But after his experiment piling stones he became understood, the previously hollow stone had lost its strength when Asta placed a stone that was still solid on it. So when the stone on it is also hollow because of the waterfall but the stone below it has almost been destroyed because it withstands the pressure of the water and the stone.

From this incident Asta imagined it as pill ingredients and the process of melting medicinal ingredients.

-----

The process of compounding this time goes quite longer than before, Asta focuses his full attention on the compounding process.

Flares smiled at Asta who had learned from his mistake very quickly, Asta is indeed a smart child Flares sure Asta can get through it.

Entering the medicinal formation process Asta smiled sumringah, he could already see his artificial pill was about to take shape.

“Congratulations! Mulan now you are a tier 2 medicine concocter, my student Asta!” flares praised him.

Asta smiled proudly at the result, he was finally able to overcome the obstacles that blocked him and managed to create a second-rate blood vessel pill with a hundred percent efficacy.

Not only did Flares praise him Ace and Zaru also smiled proudly.

“Hei!! Although this time you have succeeded but your training schedule from tomorrow will be very crowded. In 7 days you will train with me and Ace for 4 days in a row then 3 days you will train with Master,” Zaru reprimanded him for being too happy.

Instantly the cheerful Asta his face turned bland,“Is that true teacher?” Asta made sure of his teacher.

“Heemm. You will train with Ace and Zaru for 4 consecutive days to test each time your training from understanding the Book of Plummeters and also the Book of Dark Fire Gods with them. So two days of studying the Fire God Book two more days of studying the Soul Compound Book. And those three days the teacher will teach you about compounding and forging,” explained Flares.

“That Shape? How long?” ask Asta wondering how long the exercise will take.

“Until you step on the realm of Gods of course,” replied Flares briefly while smiling cheerfully.

Asta rubbed his ears in disbelief with his hearing, “can the teacher say it once again seems like my hearing is problematic,”.

“Until you step on the Great God Realm and you master the Dark Fire God Book as well as the Soul Compound Book well then we will leave this place,” Flares repeated his words once again while smiling kindly.

“If you want to know how long the fastest is 5 years and the longest is decades. It depends whether you are talented enough to be able to train quickly or not,”

“Zaru why did you underestimate me so much? Your old man is a gifted boy by what you said,”

“It takes a few days just to find fault with the failure to concoct a tier 2 medicinal pill and you said you were talented?”

“Ace why do you agree with him?!” yell Asta.

“Of course I agree that because his words are true as they are,”

“Arrrghh..!!!! Alright I will show you that I am a gifted child destined to reach heights in the cultivation world,”

“Teacher wait for your words,”
