Have you no shame? Look at the mess you’ve made!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder pointed at the twins, his voice sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you two. How dare you act so arrogantly after winning the tournament? Do you think one little victory makes you special?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar looked up from his plate, chewing slowly. \"We didn’t do anything wrong. We’re just eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor grinned. \"Yeah, can’t fight on an empty stomach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders’ faces turned red. \"Don’t you dare talk back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then one of them glared at Rachel, his tone turning cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you! You dare come back here after being exiled? You should’ve stayed hidden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel froze for a moment, her hands tightening slightly in her lap. She lowered her gaze, not saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could respond, a sharp voice cut through the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to see Dahlia standing up from her seat, her eyes burning with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, resting both hands on the table. \"You talk too much for people who weren’t even there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders frowned, clearly offended. \"Watch your tone, girl! You’re speaking to your seniors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t flinch. \"Then act like seniors. Miss Rachel isn’t your punching bag, and the twins didn’t do anything wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at them, narrowing her eyes. \"You’re angry because they’re stronger now, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few elders looked away, clearly uncomfortable. Others glared harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\" one elder started, but Dahlia cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. You listen,\" she said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While you were sitting here eating and talking about rules, we were bleeding, training, and fighting for our lives under Master Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spread her arms wide. \"Every single one of us earned our strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar smirked and crossed his arms. \"She’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor leaned back in his chair. \"You can scold us later if you can beat us first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders were speechless for a moment, unsure whether to shout or stay silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel finally stood up, placing a gentle hand on Dahlia’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough, Dahlia. You’ve said what needed to be said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia took a slow breath, glaring at the elders one last time before nodding. \"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel turned to the elders and spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to accept me back. But don’t insult my brother’s guests. The Patriarch himself invited them here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single sentence made every elder freeze. The realization hit them hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Patriarch himself invited them here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of the older ones looked away awkwardly, pretending to sip from their cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others muttered under their breath but didn’t dare speak loudly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rachel, though she stood confidently, still looked a little unsure inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only known Garion and his group for a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d seen their strange ways, their rough training, their chaotic eating, and their jokes, but she still didn’t truly understand them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned slightly toward the twins, planning to calm everyone down further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not cause any more trouble, alright? Just sit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Rynar suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table, grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack like Senior Sister said! Let’s show them our strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders jumped slightly at his sudden shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor stood up too, cracking his neck. \"Yeah, I’ve been itching to stretch a bit anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes widened. \"Wait! No, that’s not what I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stood up next, her fiery energy already flaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve been looking down on us since we got here. Let’s teach them some respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s face turned pale. \"Dahlia, please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dahlia ignored her and pointed at the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re all cultivators, right? Then you understand this better than anyone. Strength earns respect. So, come on, stop barking and pick one of us to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room fell dead silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One elder slammed his hand on the table. \"How dare you challenge us in the Patriarch’s hall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned. \"Oh, so you can talk loud when you’re scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder stood up, clearly offended. \"You insolent brat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor crossed his arms, his tone playful. \"You sound brave, but your aura doesn’t match your words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked. \"I’ll handle this. They’re not even Third Realm cultivators anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel sighed heavily, rubbing her forehead. \"This is getting out of hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders stood up one by one, anger filling their faces. \"You think we’ll be bullied by children?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar cracked his knuckles. \"No, not bullied... just educated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor grinned at his brother. \"Let’s not hit too hard. We don’t want to break the furniture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia gave a small smirk. \"I won’t promise that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel took a deep breath and muttered under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion, wherever you are, please hurry back before this turns into a disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by then, it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins and Dahlia had already stepped into the center of the hall, the air around them flaring with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders, though angry, couldn’t back down now, not in front of the clan members who had gathered to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them finally shouted. \"Fine then! Let’s see if the so-called God Gym can back up its arrogance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smiled confidently. \"Gladly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples stood ready, and the hall that once echoed with laughter and chatter now vibrated with mana pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel could only sigh, whispering softly to herself. \"They’re just like him... reckless to the core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, outside, in the city below, the night was peaceful until...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flashes of red flame and streaks of golden lightning suddenly lit up the sky above the Revalis Clan’s main estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All people around were shocked, looking above to see just what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that... fire?\" one guard muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" another said, pointing at the arcs of electricity dancing through the air. \"There’s thunder too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few citizens gathered in the streets, watching the spectacle with growing unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the clan under attack?\" someone whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky rumbled again, louder this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could tell what was really happening inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every flash of light and thunderous sound made one thing clear: Something big was happening at the Revalis Clan tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4e1229e9e9a93392a3549ffd6d3bfceb8f20776a6a2936b46710bae27a998e4","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-454","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-453",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
