But before they could react... a loud and angry shout appeared from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arden! How dare you do this to my son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful burst of green mana exploded in the air as a tall and large man appeared from the sky and landed beside Avro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s hair was also the same style as Avro’s, the ridiculous green afro hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making sure that Avro’s still alive, he stood back up and glared back at Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arden! You’ve gone too far! How could you injure him so seriously in front of the entire clan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden glared back at him and only smiled while keeping his hands in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, if it isn’t Elder Asro. It’s been a while, and also... This is a fight, Elder Asor, so there will be some injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro’s eyes narrowed as he gestured toward his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not like this. You seriously injure him, and also you cut his hair and humiliate him in front of the whole clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden shrugged while laughing out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Elder Asro. I don’t hit him that hard. If he’s knocked out, then he’s just weak. And also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the chunk of green Afro hair that he had cut earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fixed his ridiculous hair so he looks better. You should have thanked me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insult infuriated Asro so much that his jaw and fists tightened hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really have grown arrogant, Arden. If I had known... I would have stopped you the moment you returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden laughed without any fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Then stop me now. Show me what the elder of Avenora can do. I want to see how strong you really are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro frowned as he stomped the ground and flared his mana around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then, Arden. I’ll make you regret ever challenging me and put you into your place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s grin widened as he shifted back to his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. The younger ones bored me, and I need a real test from the older ones like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, gesturing him to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on then, Elder Asro. Make this fight worth my time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro stomped the ground hard, and soon the ground split open as countless thorn-covered roots erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Thorny Roots Burst]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roots shot out in all directions, moving like living snakes that were faster than arrows with thorns sharper than blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience gasped, looking at Asro’s spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile Arden’s eyes narrowed as she saw the roots going toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly boosted his legs’ power with mana and dashed sideways, avoiding the first few strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roots missed him by a hair and smashed the ground behind him, cracking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden frowned as he realized just how fast the roots were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! I never thought that the roots could be this fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then rolled to the side again and flopped away from another volley just to dodge the incoming roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were just too fast and kept tracking him relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden then decided to fight back as he twisted his body and kicked one root to snap it in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if one was destroyed, two more emerged from the ground to take its place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden clicked his tongue. \"Persistent old man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro smirked as he controlled the whole arena with his thorny roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, Arden? Getting tired already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s eyes turned to him for a second, and he just smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet. This is still nothing compared to the master’s training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dashed forward again, ducking and weaving, but the roots suddenly changed direction midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to that change, the attacks were coming from all directions, so he couldn’t dodge them all, but finally...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One managed to reach and graze his arm, tearing his skin, and in an instant Arden froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that his body suddenly became slightly tired and his mana flow had been weakened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden frowned as he stumbled slightly, gripping his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. To think that not only are they powerful and fast, but they can also absorb my stamina and mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro laughed loudly as he saw Arden’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, boy! Don’t underestimate me just because I’m old!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms wide, his mana flaring green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My trait is[Nature Absorption],so basically every nature spell I use will weaken my enemies and at the same time strengthen me even more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his finger at Arden, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should feel honored to face it, boy, as I rarely fought or even showed off my trait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden glared, sweat running down his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it... No wonder you’re an elder. Guess your strength wasn’t just talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro smirked, his tone mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You finally realize that, huh? That’s what separates an elder from a reckless brat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden clenched his fists and steadied his breathing while his eyes were locked on Asro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You talk too much, old man. If your roots feed on me, then I’ll just destroy them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro raised an eyebrow, amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destroy them? Are you kidding me? You’re barely even standing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his hand high, and the ground began to rumble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More cracks appeared across the arena as more thorny roots burst upward, twisting and writhing like a forest coming to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asro smirked, his eyes burning with pride. \"Let’s end this, boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his palm down, and all the roots reacted instantly, lunging from every direction toward Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now disappear, Arden![Thorny Roots Burst - Full Bloom]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire arena trembled under the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of that storm, Arden stood perfectly still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair and clothes whipped violently from the wind, his expression calm but focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t move recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t like Rynar or Rynor, who would have charged through without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t like Dahlia, who would have burned everything around her with sheer will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a thinker, someone who measured, analyzed, and waited for the perfect moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the roots converged on him, his eyes scanned every movement or anything that could help him in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1adc6403d183762f79b7e2b0ef09b8e291a46d13a41973be09cca5b8f81c1fb","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-180","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-178",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
