In the middle of a tournament fight?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shameless! He deserves worse than a broken arm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some shook their heads in disgust, others jeered loudly, and a few laughed bitterly at the boy’s disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion, however, only sighed as he rubbed his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, Dahlia? Letting go at the least second because of that? Tch. You should have broken his arm first, then kicked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, his eyes softened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least you didn’t freeze completely. You reacted and attacked. That’s already good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from him, the red-robed elder’s face had turned stone-cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers tightened on his chair’s armrest until the wood cracked faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His disciple was not only humiliated in front of a thousand by a girl, but he also tarnished his sect’s reputation with a single act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That little girl... just from which sect she is from? To dare humiliate my disciple like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion could feel the pressure from a distance and smirked faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like that elder didn’t take that well. Good. Let them fume. This is only round one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside the forest, Dhalia stomped hard, again and again. Her fists hit the rough bark and left white marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You pervert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She punched the tree one more time, harder, then sank down on a root, knees pulled to her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hugged herself for a long time before the anger cooled down, letting her think about another problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I get points from defeating him? Do I need to kill him like other beasts? But isn’t that too much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers curled around the jade token as she suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed the token closer to her forehead, trying to sense the mana inside, and it quickly made her understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see it now. These tokens were directly tied to the owner. If I break his token, he will be the one who is forced out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small smile appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... just maybe the half points he lost would be transferred to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pulse quickened at the idea. This must be the rule of getting points from defeating the other competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hugged the token again, hoping to meet the boy again, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will look for his friend and search for me, and at that time, it will be my greatest harvest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy already ran through the forest, breath ragged, heart pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you wait, little girl. When I find my friends, I’ll make you pay, I’ll...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fists so tight his nail dugs into his palms. The thought of being humiliated by a little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the memory of her calm and cold face, the way she’d kicked him. It already made him so infuriated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn her. She’ll regret this. I’ll find my group and counter. We’ll trap her, smash her, and crush her token. Then we’ll be the ones laughing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia moved through the forest, wanting to hunt everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She soon found a huge wolf with red eyes. It snarled and leapt, but it didn’t make her back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let her body flow as she punched it from the side, then another, and finally one to the throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf staggered, fell, and went still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knelt, pressed her hand to its flank to be sure, then wiped her palms on her robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy peasy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later, someone else appeared. It was a boy with a sword in his hand, eyes wide when he saw Dahlia standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Dahlia could say anything, the boy started his attack directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already saw the wolf corpse, so this girl must be strong. That’s why he needed to attack first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let his mana run along his blade before doing some flashy sword strikes on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body didn’t have any real form. He only uses his brute strength and mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia only needed to watch his shoulders and hips to see his swing’s path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped aside and struck her palm at his ribs, soft at first, before hard, in a double strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stumbled, but Dahlia wasn’t finished yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She twisted and caught his wrist, forcing him to drop teh sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy yelled and tried to swing with his other hand, but Dahlua backed up, turned, and with a smile took the jade token on his belt, crushing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes went wide, quickly shouting at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia only watched as the light around him flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a heartbeat, he was gone, teleported out, leaving half of his points to Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia felt a tiny rush, like a bell ringing in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her guess was indeed true. Each token was tied to a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break it, and the person left, leaving half the points for the crusher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept moving and soon found a group of people fighting a giant boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia quickly slid between the fight, diving under a swing and driving an elbow into the boar’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast staggered, then collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three looked at her with surprise, gratitude, and a hint of fear simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could say anything, she rushed directly to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them frowned and quickly spread out. They forget that this was a competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they trapped her and began attacking her, but their skills were not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She easily read the lines of their strike, guessing the path, and closed the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly used palm strikes to subdue one of them and then a quick leg sweep to topple the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately after that, she took their tokens and crushed them, forcing them to be teleported out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, she could hear the beasts calling again, and the clash of distant fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was just a lot of prey in this forest that made her hungrier to collect all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the best. I don’t know why, but I felt so hungry. Time to hunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e1370e0ef95e08339d4a7ee041fddf538261d6cd7b7cdc50c1ada6dc21527d6","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-274","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-273",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
