If Zhor could be easily defeated, they knew they would die instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why none of them dared to step forward and face him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced around and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Nobody else wants to play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all make big noise, but the moment someone strong shows up, you become little puppies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the cultivators lowered their heads, gritting their teeth in shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored them and turned back to the deeper part of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed toward it and quickly saw some Titan Ores in the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel teh strange weight of this ore. Mindlessly, he chipped it loose and tossed it into his system storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly filled his storage space with Titan Ore and then thought momentarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard from them that this Titan Ore is heavy, and when you put mana into it, it becomes heavier. Let’s test it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a smaller chunk and channeled his mana into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the stone grew denser, sagging his arms slightly from the sudden weight increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, no wonder all the people who wanted these ores were big guys. For them, this could be forged into a strong, heavy weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked as he tossed it into his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for me, its biggest use is to use them to forge dumbbells, barbells, and weights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion dusted his hands and looked at the remaining Titan Ores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent several minutes, taking out every last fragment, filling his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was now satisfied with the amount he got from this cave and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment he disappeared from their view, the cultivators rushed insdie in frenzy, trying to get the remaing titan ores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion only smirked as he looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad that I already claimed the place out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back to the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... let’s search for other good materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deeper part of the Treasure Realm forest, there was a lot of noise from fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive snake slithered across a clearing. It had dark green scales with black streaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was as thick as a tree trunk, and its eyes were glowing yellow. Every time it hissed, the air seemed to vibrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind it, nestled in a patch of glowing soil, was a single herb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its petals were white and sharp, shaped like the teeth of a beast. This herb was called the Dragon Tooth Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of this special and rare herb quickly made cultivators’ eyes burn with greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Tooth Flower! Don’t let anyone else take it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s mine! With this, I’ll definitely step into the Mana Core Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake snapped forward, opening its jaw wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator barely managed to dodge, rolling across teh dirt before scrambling to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man slashed his sword at the serpent’s scales, but sparks flew as the blade glanced off, leaving only a faint line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Its scales are too tough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep hitting it! Sooner or later, it’ll tire out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as the snake was the main enemy, the cultivators fought each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them shoved another aside, snarling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too weak! Go home before you die here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who got shoved retaliated with a palm strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! If I can grab that flower, I’ll surpass you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fought hard, but the snake was still there. Soon, they were nearly crushed as the snake whipped its tail across teh clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the cultivators were flung like dolls, coughing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, even seeing how strong the snake was, they didn’t back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Tooth Flower’s value was just too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It needs to be known that eating it not only strengthens your body but also fills the mana pool faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also gives the person a small chance to awaken a dragon trait mana when going to the Mana Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, where traits were the cultivator’s path forward, any cultivator was mad to get the best one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Dragon Tooth Flower was just what they needed to get one of the best traits in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More cultivators also soon arrived, pushing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill the snake! Whoever slays it gets first claim!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, we split the flower after the beast is dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy? Do you think I’ll share something like this? Dream on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clearing soon descended into pure chaos. Dozens of cultivators clashed with each other and the snake, risking everything to get what they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the battle was too loud for Garion to notice, and he quickly came to the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow as he looked at the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow. This is even louder and fiercer than the one in the cave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he stepped into the clearing, his eyes widened slightly. He could see a really giant snake that he thought wasn’t even possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hell... what kind of snake is that? That thing should belong in a zoo, not a treasure realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then his gaze moved past it and quickly saw the special herb anyone fighting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a strange flower with sharp and curved fang-shaped petals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a new notice appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New Objective Detected: Secure the Dragon Tooth Flower]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Completion Rewards:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Unlock Second System Function]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Auto-Exit Realm to God Gym upon completion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared, then chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s what it’s called. Dragon Tooth Flower, huh? What a fierce name. It should be really good if the system is fussing about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the flower, stretching his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Let me take it. And since the system will send me back to the God Gym once I succeed, I don’t need to worry about the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion planted one foot forward, eyes gleaming as he watched the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see if you’re worth all this chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","2760d06933f5bdbf708d11b5d6bf04cc90c9a81c16778297da723a2a615693a0","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-253","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-252",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
