One of them activated an old historical record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sun Warden. There is a sealed record from several generations ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projection shifted. An old battle scene appeared in faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It states that the first Patriarch of the Draconia Clan defeated and sealed a powerful demonic dragon,\" the steward read carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien narrowed his eyes slightly. \"Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The record says that victory was one of the reasons Draconia was recognized as a Grand Faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went quiet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another steward added, \"The dragon was not killed. Only sealed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien exhaled slowly. \"So it was real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned slightly, looking at the floating image. \"To think they would use a demonic dragon now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One steward hesitated. \"Sun Warden... perhaps they lost control?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien’s voice remained calm. \"Perhaps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment. \"But to release such a being over wounded pride...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened. \"All because their former genius rose in another faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Light Stewards lowered their heads slightly. Everyone knew he was referring to Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien shook his head once. \"Draconia’s own corruption created this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked slowly across the chamber. \"Instead of correcting their internal rot, they choose shortcuts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone remained polite but firm. \"This is reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One steward asked quietly, \"What are your orders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien stopped and faced them. \"Prepare every document we have regarding anything we can use against Draconia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stewards straightened. \"Yes, Sun Warden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien continued. \"If Draconia’s actions threaten stability, we will not ignore it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the distant horizon, sensing faint tremors in the mana flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now is the best time to remove the corroded parts of the Grand Factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stewards exchanged serious looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien’s expression remained calm. \"While you prepare the documents...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his sleeve slightly. \"I will personally observe the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One steward looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are going yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien nodded. \"I want to see this demonic dragon with my own eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the exit. \"And I want to see how the God Gym will deal with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His steps were steady as he left the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Light Stewards moved quickly, gathering records and preparing formal notices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien did not travel by ordinary means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright solar formation opened beneath his feet, and in a flash of golden light, he stepped through space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transport array collapsed behind him silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived above the hidden island, the first thing he saw was the sky split into two colors. \"...That level already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not Garion, but instead it was Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was clashing head-on with the massive demonic dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning exploded from her fists. Wind currents spiraled around her body. The dragon’s corrupted flames met her storm attacks in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien was genuinely surprised. \"To think she can fight that dragon evenly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below them, Navrel roared and swung a massive claw. Dahlia twisted mid-air and countered with a lightning-coated kick, forcing the dragon back several meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien raised his voice. \"Dahlia! Do you need help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia froze for a split second when she heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced sideways while still blocking a burst of black flame. \"Sir Sorien?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened slightly. \"Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien hovered calmly in the air, golden energy surrounding him lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did your master not report that a demonic dragon was attacking God Gym?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked slightly puzzled. \"I thought assistance was required.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s expression shifted from surprise to confusion. \"Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged another claw strike and punched Navrel in the jaw, forcing it back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a year since I saw him! How the hell did he suddenly contact you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien blinked once. \"I do not know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his sleeve calmly. \"But I do not think this is the best time to discuss communication methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navrel’s massive head snapped toward Sorien. \"How dare you speak as if I am not present!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s eyes burned with irritation. \"I am still here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of demonic energy spread outward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia steadied herself mid-air and nodded slightly. \"Yeah. He’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth and smirked. \"Still... even though I’m strong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rolled her shoulder once, her aura flaring brighter. \"I didn’t think this one would be this strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navrel’s wings expanded fully, blocking part of the sky. \"You dare treat me lightly, little dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien observed quietly for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are holding well,\" he said calmly to Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glanced at him briefly while keeping her eyes mostly on Navrel. \"Are you stepping in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien nodded once. \"If you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rolled her shoulder and let out a slow breath. \"Okay then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped the corner of her mouth with her thumb and smirked slightly. \"Let me transfer him to you, Sir Sorien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed her chin toward the dragon. \"You’re from Solmira.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone turned serious. \"You’re better at demon extermination than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien gave a small nod. \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden aura strengthened slightly. \"Then allow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t argue further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dashed forward one last time, launching a quick burst of lightning at Navrel’s face to grab its attention. \"Hey, overgrown lizard. Look here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navrel roared and swung a claw at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged at the last second, then shot upward and away. \"Your new opponent is behind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navrel turned its head sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien was already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward calmly, hands relaxed at his sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navrel narrowed its eyes. \"You think you can beat me? A mere human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien’s expression remained composed. \"Let us find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light gathered faintly around his palm. \"Shall we, demonic dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navrel’s lips curled. \"I will make you regret stepping in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its wings beat once, sending a wave of dark energy outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien did not move back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura expanded in response, steady and bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below them, Dahlia crossed her arms mid-air, watching carefully. \"Don’t lose, Sir Sorien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien didn’t look back. \"I do not intend to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","cbdd024fc5587341a3c7afef31d7e8b021928dc1701cda36fc5cb16b93e5ed2e","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-427","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-425",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
