Even if they did, they ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only focus was to grab as many fragments as possible before running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon his presence drew the attention of someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center stood a big man with a massive sword strapped to his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of his aura was also heavy, making the others keep their distance. None dared to fight him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman narrowed his eyes at Garion, clearly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? How dare you come here and stand in front of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, meeting his gaze without fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who am I? And for what reasons? Of course, I’m here for the Titan Ore. The same things everyone is here for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another fool. You’ll regret stepping in front of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled the massive sword off his back with both hands and pointed it at Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better scram now... or else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled and spread his arms wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or what? Do you think that you can kill me with that toy? Let’s see if you have the ability to do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This quickly shocked the other. A newcomer mocking the strongest person here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he was insane or frighteningly confident to say all of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman frowned. He roared and swung the massive sword high above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your choice then! Rock Breaker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt forward, bringing the blade down in a brutal overhead strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion had already sidestepped, dodging it, and in an instant, he countered and attacked with a clean punch to the big swordman’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman staggered back, blinking in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... hit me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, shaking his hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, surprising, right? You’re just a big man with a big sword, and all there is to you. It’s really easy to dodge your attack and punch you in the face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some cultivators gasped in surprise. They then waited for the swordman’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman’s face reddened in anger. He tightened his grip on his sword and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll pay for that! Heavy Mountain Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his sword sideways this time, pouring more mana into the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just like Garion said, the sword man was just a man with a sword without a good martial art basic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion easily ducked under the swing and quickly moved behind the swordman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly wrapped his arms around the swordman’s thick neck, locking him in a chokehold submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordman frowned. He never thought he would be embarrassed like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to thrash violently, swinging his free arms and kicking against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, he coated his fist with mana and desperately punched to the side, aiming for Garion’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion saw the incoming strike, frowning. He released the chokehold and leapt backward just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordman gasped for air momentarily before turning back to Garion with a newfound rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head, sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think that you’re going to kill me just because of that. You really are just a man with a sword. Nothing more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordman ignored him and roared louder. He raised his weapon again, pouring more mana than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked once more, rolling his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. Let’s make this into a training. I knew how to cultivate, but I don’t know how to use mana. Let’s experiment a little this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fists, stepping forward, locking his eyes on the enraged swordman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman gritted his teeth, raising his sword high and roaring once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock Breaker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt forward to deliver another brutal overhead strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head in confusion before sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Same move again? Don’t you have any other variety?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was shocked once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This newcomer was really insane, daring to mock the swordman multiple times casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordman ignored Garion’s words, pouring more mana into his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was determined to split Garion in half for his mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rolled his shoulders, loosening his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then. If you’re gonna use the same move again, I might as well try something new.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see. Martial artists usually visualize channeling the mana into their martial techniques from their mana pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of my cells were basically mini mana pools, so let’s experiment a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inhaled deeply and visualized the mana inside his cells flowing outward, gathering in his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he could see a faint glow around his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, nice. It really works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing his experiment works, he began to change to another stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slid one foot forward, planting the other firmly behind. His knees were bent slightly, and his torso was steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also visualized channeling the mana from the cells inside his hands, body, and both legs to steady his posture even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big swordman then came crashing down from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only narrowed his eyes, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, big guy. Let me show you what a real punch should look like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped when Garion didn’t dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were shocked even more when Garion dodged the blade the instant it fell and countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body twisted, hips snapping forward, shoulder following, driving his fist upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He punched the swordman’s gut directly before the sword even landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordman’s eyes bulged, grunting painfully as his body folded around Garion’s fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body quickly flew backward, crashing into he rocky wall of teh cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive sword in his hand quickly slipped away, clattering to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire cavern froze the moment they watched the entire scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared back at Garion in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only shook his fist lightly, flexing his knuckles, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what happens when you put brains into your brain. Mana isn’t just for flashy names and moves, boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion cracked his neck, turning to the other cultivators in the cave and smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then... who’s next? Who will become my next prey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1022,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","4a49b55a1e4250ba9f0b2175c8568ff6a092653136f969a7e79d6e035654d634","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-251","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-10",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
