The Heavenly Road: God Hunters
Chapter 008 The Breakthrough of Expert Land (revision)
After eating, Asta Raiken was about to reopen the Dark Fire God Book, but Flares immediately stopped him.
"Not for now, Asta," he said firmly.
"What's wrong? Wasn't it Master who suggested that I train this Dark Fire God Book? Why is Master banning me now?" Asta is confused by Flares' change of attitude.
Ace breathed slowly. "The control over your spirit essence is very low, especially since the Light-Eating Flame is a God Spirit" he explained.
Asta tilted his head. "Then what's the problem? The spirit of God is known for its flexibility. There shouldn't be any meaningful trouble, right?"
"Didn't you hear what I said? Not a PROBLEM of DIFFICULTY, but a CONTROL problem! The God Spirit Essence is indeed flexible in its comprehension and purification, but the biggest obstacle is to control it or control it," Ace insisted as Flares went to the kitchen to brew coffee.
Asta Raiken scratched his head, "so so. Ace, can you help me with this?"
"What did you say? It is your spirit essence. How could you ask someone else for help to control it? The only way is with your own persistence" Ace explained as he took a cup of coffee from Flares' hand and drank it.
Asta tried to ask his Master, but the answer remained the same. Flares provides some important advice and guidance so that Asta Raiken can control his spirit essence well.
As it was a process to be done alone, Asta Raiken tried to do it in the yard, but Flares and Ace both stopped it. According to them, this place is not suitable for doing these exercises.
"Right now all you're supposed to do is raise your body's foundation to level 3. You already have enough understanding and heavenly resources, only your body needs to be strengthened" Flares said.
Asta Raiken was surprised to hear that, "What?! How did this happen?" He really doesn't realize that. But after pondering, perhaps the events of yesterday had made him break through the boundary of the Fighter Realm.
Flares then brought a small bottle of pills. He gave the pill to Asta for consumption.
"This pill can help speed up the process of forging your Body Body Body Body. What are you waiting for, swallow quickly" said Flares.
Despite having a bad premonition, as it was the gift of her teacher, Asta did not refuse.
The three body parts of his body had currently been forged by 25 percent each, staying another 5 percent to reach the level 3 Body Raga.
Asta Raiken knew how painful it was to forge a Body Body Raga. Moreover, his Master had actually exerted great pressure when he first upgraded the Body Raga with him.
"Consentrasilah. This time Master won't whip you or do anything. You just need to survive so as not to faint to achieve satisfactory results," Flares told him.
"Huh? What is the frog-master Aakkhhhh…!!!" Before he could speak, Asta Raiken got a very strong blow. His body felt as if it was thrown into an explosion.
The skeletons within his body felt crushed and then recovered continuously, his blood as if flowing poison then being cleansed again and again, and his muscles felt like they were being pulled and torn, he said, then stitched back. In a short time, Asta Raiken felt his body as if it was being crushed and healed simultaneously. The process lasted for several hours.
"Aakkhhhh....!!!!!!"
His cries were heard throughout the entire settlement. Everyone immediately panicked and moved towards Asta Raiken's house to see what was really going on.
But once they arrived, Ace was already standing upright in front of the yard to block them.
"There's no problem here. Come back!" he said firmly to them.
Helio Utake was about to say something, but Ace immediately cut off his words and told him to shut up.
"Rather than thinking about it, you better prepare for the coming war. This matter is my responsibility. Go!" again, ordered them to leave.
Helio Utake and the disciples finally obeyed Ace's orders and left the place.
Asta Raiken's screams continued throughout the day, but until evening no one dared to visit his house, especially after Ace warned them not to disturb him.
One day. Two days. Then one week later, Asta Raiken finally stopped screaming. His house is quieter than before.
Without food and drink, he continued to fight the pain and persevered so as not to lose consciousness. All that he did with great zeal to get maximum results, as his Master had explained.
"Done everything. You made it, how do you feel? What about the pills I gave you?" flares asked, welcoming him with a smile.
After the pain disappeared, one thing that made Asta Raiken surprised was his stamina that still felt like before or even increased. Even so, it cannot ignore hunger and dehydration.
"Saking great, it almost made me die 9 times," he said limply, feeling his stomach start to rumble.
Flares laughed out loud at his words. Without waiting for long, he immediately prepared food for himself.
Ace was still standing guard in front of the house, when Asta Raiken finally stopped screaming. This incident certainly attracted the attention of people who thought that something was happening to him, so Ace stayed in front of the house.
"I told you not to worry, right? Do you really not trust me?!" remember Ace to Helio Utake and all the students present there.
Helio Utake was about to fight back and continued walking to the terrace, but Ace immediately growled towards him. Helio Utake was forced to bow respectfully to him, his control over his body as if disappearing before him.
"This is not in accordance with the agreement, Utake!" Ace spoke with a slightly growling tone towards him. The disciples instantly prepared with weapons, in case something bad happened.
Taki Garaki along with some of the other Fire Flame Sect Elders were also ready with their weapons. Although they were not sure they could defeat him, the safety of Asta Raiken and Helio Utake was their top priority.
Ace suppressed his emotions as much as possible, to not hurt anyone among them.
"I don't want anything bad to happen here. So, when I say go, I hope you all leave this place in three breaths. Leave Helio Utake here, I'll discuss important matters with him" Ace ordered once again.
Seeing that they were still unmoved in the slightest, Ace snorted in annoyance. "Wait for what else! I told you nothing bad happened, motherfucker!" his screams began to get upset. Then they all sped away, leaving the residence of Asta Raiken.
Helio Utake chuckled, "I have to listen to the real situation" said Helio Utake, who was then replied with an annoyed snort from Ace.

"Hey! Son, it's time to eat. Get up and get over here before your food gets cold!" call Flares.
His eyes opened and he heard the voice of the call. At first he felt lethargic, but immediately stood up with vigor.
"My food is coming!" excited scream.
His eyes were beaming at the dishes on the table. Without wasting a long time, he immediately picked up the plate and started eating.
"Where is Ace? I hadn't heard his voice at all since then," after he was full of food, he only realized Ace's departure.
"Eitherway. Maybe you're looking for a soul mate" Flares replied jokingly. Asta laughed when he heard it.
"Maybe it's good that I should look for him now to go home," Asta Raiken immediately cleaned his plate after finishing eating.
"Rather than worrying about it like that, we better just practice. Aren't you ready to practice now? Now maybe you can control your spirit essence a little bit," Flares stopped him.
"Gee! Teacher, there is a point as well. Then, Teacher can you help me again?" Ask Asta Raiken.
"Do you still need my help? Didn't you ever do it yourself against that Elf?" Flares, reminding.
Asta Raiken began to try to recall the way to perform the spirit release, slowly flames appeared enveloping his hand.
"Teacher, I'm sure now I can control it even for a little while. Although this was only 10 percent of what it should be," Asta Raiken smiled confidently at his teacher.
"good. Now pull back your spirit essence, let's start the most important part now" Flares said.
Asta Raiken complied and retracted his spirit essence quickly. It was really not as difficult as before where Asta Raiken had to use water to pull it back.
"The higher your body level also increases your chances of being able to control it further. We can't stay here much longer,"
Asta Raiken frowned asking about the meaning of his words. Flares also answered him with a few words, namely breaking through the realm or leveling up.
Flares threw a pill bottle at him, "What is this?" Asta Raiken asked with a suspicious look. He could still remember the pain he had experienced during this week due to the pills from his teacher's hand.
"Teacher guarantees it's not like before" Flares lifted her thumb with a smile.
The Medicinal Pill consisted of 7 levels where each level was divided into three classes according to the quality of the pill:
1) Low
2) Medium
3) Height.
"Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Teacher..you lied.." Asta Raiken immediately vomited blood just after he started his spiritual breakthrough after swallowing the pill. The heavenly source throughout his body seemed to be bursting forth in the same horrible pain as before.
"Hold on. In a moment you will feel the effects are very useful for your future," said Flares lightly with a smile.
True as Flares had said before, once every half an hour he could feel the quality of his heavenly resources becoming purer, and the capacity of his body's reservoir even increased. In addition, Asta could also feel a slight healing effect from his blood that had reached 30 percent purity.
With all his might, Asta tried to stay awake while making a realm breakthrough. Increasing the body first is very helpful for the breakthrough process.

A week has passed since Kenshin returned from Asta. A week ago, he was figuring out what was really going on and why Asta Raiken was shouting so loudly during that time. Kenshin entered the room of his father, Helio Utake, who was standing looking at the window.
"Dad, did you manage to figure out Asta's condition a week ago? The last time I saw him was three weeks ago. I'm afraid something happened to him a week ago" asked Kenshin Utake.
"It's fine, or it could be said to be better than anyone. You don't have to worry about it anymore" Helio Utake replied with a faint smile.
Kenshin Utake sighed calmly, "Did Dad see him again during this week?" Ask again.
"No. Mr. Ace is not a negotiable person. If he has said so, then until anytime it will remain so. Rather than that, what about the results of your realm breakthrough?" Ask Helio Utake.
Smiling proudly, Kenshin Utake immediately showed his current level of spirit, "As expected, Father," he replied proudly. Helio Utake smiled proudly at his son.
"Thank God. You really didn't let me down, Kenshin," Helio Utake hugged him tightly.
"Asta might as well be done, go visit him," he suggested.
Kenshin complied and immediately set out, not forgetting to bring a sword of his neatly saddled beside the shelf.
---
Kesha Timber who saw him rush with a neatly sheathed sword certainly felt curious. He called the others to pursue him.
"Kenshin! What was? Why are you in such a hurry?" shouted Shiro Nekoshi who saw him walking in a hurry.
Kenshin Utake was a little surprised and smiled at them, "Ohh you! What about your break through?" kenshin Utake asked.
"Ahh, we all succeeded. How's yours?" ask Kesha Timber.
"I certainly succeeded. What's up, you guys calling me?" Ask Kenshin Utake once again.
The four of them looked at each other before pointing to the sword, "Then, what did you bring the sword for? Do you want to cut someone?" Ask Zaraki Onoki.
"Ehh.. These.. I intend to invite Asta to a match practice, I really have to beat him before he leaves" explained Kenshin Utake with a smile.
The four of them then chuckled together, only Asila Moegi was still silently staring at Kenshin Utake's sword with focus.
"Moegi, what's wrong? Why is your face so?" tanya Kesha noticed the change in Moegi's face.
"Dam. Just be careful if he dares to leave me. I won't hesitate to beat him up anymore" muttered Asila Moegi as she grabbed her sword and ran away from them towards Asta Raiken's house.
"Kenshin, it looks like you said something you shouldn't have said," Shiro said, looking at Moegi, who was seen moving away from them.
"Hey! That's sword! What did I say..? I just said I wanted to take her, ohhh shit! I forgot!" Kenshin thought back to his words and remembered what he should not have said. Kenshin rushed to chase after him.
"Wait for what else..!! Come on..!!" Take another Kesha Timber.
"Moegi..!!! Are you sure he hasn't left since three days ago...!!! I'm sure it should have been a week ago was the day Asta said goodbye to Mr. Helio...!!!" zaraki shouted from behind.
"Shut up, motherfucker..!! Talk one more time I'm beating you up, Zaraki..!!" Moegi replied that Asta had left without him.
"What can I do anyway? Just saying goodbye to Mr. Helio might be the only way to avoid you. So don't expect him to bring a lioness like you, hahaha...!!!" Zaraki exclaimed once again, it seems that he deliberately did it to make Moegi even more angry.
Moegi ignored him and began to accelerate his pace leaving his four behind. They hurriedly caught up with him from behind, but as they were about to arrive at the Asta residence, they felt a surge of energy from the direction of his home. Making Moegi more panicked about the danger that might be lurking Asta.
Shiro and Zaraki also pulled their weapons and darted quickly in that direction. Ignoring Kenshin and Kesha who were screaming from behind.
"Basic stupid! It was a surge of energy that occurred while one was conducting a realm breakthrough! What a killer!" Shouted Kenshin, not heard at all.
"Alright, Ken. Let them go" said Kesha tired of their nature.

Currently, Asta Raiken is still seen in a sitting position please. It seems clear that he is still in the process of his ongoing breakthrough.
Amidst his concentration, suddenly his spirit essence burst out, enveloping his entire body and pushing his breaking process into even more speed.
"Don't panic! Stay focused and master control over your spirit essence! The breakthrough of the Expert Realm was not as easy as before, and the explosion that occurred in your spirit essence was something natural during the process of breaking through!" Flares gave him directions.
"But Teacher! This explosion is too powerful! It's overrated!" Shouted Asta Raiken, trying to withstand the explosion of his powerful spirit essence.
"Of course, it is the effect of the Spirit Formation Pill that you are drinking. That's why you have to survive to succeed! The spirit! The spirit!" Flares said, giving him spirit.
Asta Raiken was surprised to hear that, but because he did not have much time, he concentrated on completing the breakthrough immediately.
With the rest of his strength, Asta Raiken tried his luck by releasing a burst of spirit essence so that his breakthrough could end soon.
In the final seconds of his breakthrough, a ball of fire floated towards him. Flares was wide-eyed due to being too focused on paying attention, until he forgot to protect Asta Raiken from any attacks.
Shortly before the fireball almost touched his face, around Asta Raiken's body suddenly created a blast of energy that destroyed the fireball.
"Who is that!?" Another ball of fire cut through his words.
"They were your playmates as a child!" Flares instantly floated back into his ring.
Asta raised his eyebrows hearing that while brushing away the fireballs that flew towards him.
"Hey! Oi! Oi! Are you guys crazy?! My land is still unstable!"
His house was blown to pieces by the rain of fireballs. Over time, he couldn't hold back his emotions. Asta unleashed his power to welcome any possible attack that would be launched on him.
A shadow of someone was seen behind the dust, swinging a sword. Asta slightly grinned, suspecting it was Kenshin Utake.
"I know you want to avenge your defeat, but this is not the right way" said Asta Raiken.
The figure tried to search for Asta Raiken's whereabouts behind the dust, and as the tip of his sword pointed at him, the shadow prepared to attack.
"Don't tell me I'm cruel. All of this is you asking first" said Asta.
"The Release of Spirit Essence. Low Gold Heavenly Art! Blow the Plumbers of the Haga!"
The figure darted forward thrusting the tip of his sword that met with Asta's fists that had been strengthened.
After the shadowy figure came out of the dusty zone, Asta was finally able to see who the person who was trying to attack him was. Although he had guessed who.
