Then let’s see if you can survive this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head, looking at the huge purple sword. He was a bit unimpressed by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A huge poison sword, huh. Let me guess... a poison version of Raviel’s huge greatsword, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Copied?! This is nothing like his! My domain is bigger, so my sword is deadlier and stronger than his!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s a knockoff but worse. Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s eye twitched violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep talking... I’ll cut you in half!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked as he spread his arms a little and kept walking forward... slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cracked his knuckles calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try piercing me with that thing. I wonder if that big toy of yours can pierce me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s aura flared in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you filthy-tongued brute! No one has ever mocked me like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Then today must be a special day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor shouted in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DON’T UNDERESTIMATE ME!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the massive poison sword high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t flinch. He just kept approaching, rolling his shoulders lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on then. Hit me with everything you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his stance slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because if you can’t bring me down before I reach you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers curled into a tight fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going to learn exactly what one fist means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor trembled with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I’m weak, don’t you?! A weakling?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin turned sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor roared, slamming his hand downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant poison sword dropped like a guillotine, hissing through the air straight toward Garion’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion didn’t dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only clenched his fist hard, shifting his shoulders as his muscles tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sword descendfast and when it just an inch from Garion... it stuttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive blade trembled mid-fall, its edge struggling to push downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What?! Why is it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion kept walking, step by slow step, the space around him warping from sheer pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Kalzor. Show me more. Show me just how strong your spell really is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor gritted his teeth as he forced more mana into the sword to push it downward harder than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GO DOWN! GO DOWN, YOU BASTARD!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous blade shuddered violently, then finally but barely managed to slip past Garion’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s tip had managed to touch Garion’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YES! I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But different from what he expected, the sword stopped, unable to pierce Garion’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked and raised his head slightly, pushing the blade upward with nothing but the strength of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. You managed to pierce my pressure, but can you pierce me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What the hell...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then finally realized Garion was standing right in front of him, close enough to touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the pressure rolling off Garion’s body pressed him straight to the ground, crushing his knees into the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor trembled, his breath shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-How... How can a person release this kind of pressure? What kind of monster are you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head casually, cracking his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monster? No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a hand on his hip, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just a gym rat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s face twisted in confusion and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rolled his neck, shoulders rising as his aura grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And unfortunately... you managed to piss me off today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile faded into something colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I won’t destroy you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What do you mean... won’t destroy me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion lifted one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll turn you into a cadaver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... What is a cadaver...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dead corpse. For study.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s expression shifted from confusion to pure horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-Hey, wait... We can talk...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t let him finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, the pressure pinning Kalzor completely, unable to even lift his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his hand and tapped Kalzor’s ear lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right about... here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his finger thrust forward in a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s fingertip pierced through Kalzor’s ear and into his skull, clean and precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor’s eyes rolled back instantly, his body going limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion caught the corpse before it hit the ground and lifted it like a bag of potatoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect. Third-realm cadaver for research. Haven’t had one yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slung the corpse over his shoulder as if it were gym equipment he just finished using.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Raviel and Aveline finally arrived after leaving the arena to check the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze first, eyes wide. Aveline, who was in Raviel’s hand, was also surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both stared at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalzor, someone who was slightly stronger than either of them, died with a single finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood there shirtless, relaxed, and smiling like he just finished warm-up stretches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s brows twitched in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Just how in the hell can he be that strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel swallowed, rubbing the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile looked both nervous and defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly? I don’t even know anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Garion, who was now adjusting Kalzor’s corpse to carry it more comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Garion and I fought... I thought he was giving his all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You thought?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed, shoulders sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems he wasn’t even serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward them, waving casually with his free hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you two done chatting? Good timing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline pointed at the corpse hanging on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You killed him with one finger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Yup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stepped forward, squinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How strong are you exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Strong enough to skip warm-ups.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Aveline and Raviel stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were speechless, confused, and just a little afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled at their silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, don’t worry about it. We still have one idiot left to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the arena where Agram waited, vines thrashing in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel let out a slow breath. \"Right... that bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","a71d216860167ee888e94e5b7cea8d47bfeb19fb282950324fd7c9d290ccd55c","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-191","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-189",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
