These are the final eight competitors who have survived the first two rounds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer smiled, nodding toward the competitors around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow, the next round will begin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish, Dahlia stepped forward and walked straight toward the announcer without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise of the crowd dimmed, not knowing what was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other competitors frowned, including the announcer himself, not knowing what Dahlia wanted now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira quickly narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is she doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris also turned to his eyes to Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that she was about to do something reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer just tilted his head, forcing a smile in front of Dahlia\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Dahlia, can you tell me what you need? I still need to announce something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia just stared at him with her sharp eyes and coldly opened her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to announce it anymore. There will be no more battle tomorrow as I want it to end today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps spread through the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned slowly to the other seven competitors, pointing her finger at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you... Come at me now. I have already seen your fights, and all of you are weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s fingers then curled into a fist as she kept staring at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to waste any more of my precious time on you, so let’s just get this over with today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena quickly fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, one of the boys in green robes snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant! Do you think you can beat all of us at once?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another competitor, a tall girl with a long staff, shook her head and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be losing your mind. Two victories and you think you are already strong enough to beat all of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs and laughter quickly spread to the remaining fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Elira raised a brow, smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re quite bold. I’ll give you that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris only grunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the crowd was going wild, shouting like madmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were cheering for Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Let’s finish it today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She already crushed Adriel! She can crush the rest, too! Easy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God Gym! God Gym!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the others were not impressed by Dahlia’s words, they immediately scoffed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s just reckless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant brat. Beating one favorite doesn’t mean you can take them all at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’ll get smashed the moment they work together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the premium seats, the elders were frozen in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes widened as they saw Dahlia standing alone, calmly challenging the other seven at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion, on the other hand, threw his head back and laughed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped the railing so hard the wood rattled a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia! What you said is true! Better to finish it now than waste another day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders turned to glare at him, their faces twisted with disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One in red robes leaned forward, voice sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion, do you realize what you are allowing? This is the once-a-decade tournament, the pride of every sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his finger at Dahlia angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your disciple dares to mock it by trying to change the rule without any confirmation or even respect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder in green robes shook his head, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just wrong. She should respect the rules. To spit on tradition like this... it is too disgraceful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only grinned, staring back at the group of elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disgraceful? Of course not. It’s just efficient. While your disciple dances around wasting time, mine’s ready to crush them all and move on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his finger, pointing it to the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t the whole point of this tournament to find the strongest one? If she can end it now, why keep dragging things out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed elder’s jaw tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is not how it’s done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then maybe it’s time things were done differently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other elders shifted, whispering. You could feel the rules of the old order pressing down on everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the gray-robed elder who had stood for order earlier rose from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved slowly, facing the crowd of elders like a calm tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let us all calm down. Garion’s disciple, Dahlia, wants to finish it today because she believes that she is stronger than the rest, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders all nodded in small, uneasy motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder just smiled as he folded his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, we can allow it, but still... to change, we need an appropriate price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder then turned to Garion, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t just talk and change it without a price, don’t we, Garion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only stayed silent as his ears perked up, ready to hear this price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder smiled as he leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your disciple loses this mass challenge, then... the God Gym will be banned from entering this tournament for the next few decades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sentence quickly made all the elders silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just tilted his head, rolling his shoulders, and a faint smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Banned, huh? Interesting. Big reward also needs a big risk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed elder scowled. \"You’re reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored him and just looked at Dahlia momentarily before turning back to the elder, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, I accept. Win or lose, I’ll take the chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the elders were quickly shocked to hear what Garion had said and to think that he had accepted this price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think he accepted it so easily...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is really a reckless one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madness. Pure madness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder only watched Garion carefully before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. The rule is set. If Dahlia loses, the God Gym will be banned from this tournament... for five decades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the elders were shocked when they heard the price Garion would pay if Dahlia lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five decades... that would erase his ect from the stage for a really long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s too bold. No one would gamble so much on one child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will regret this. You’ll see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just leaned back in his seat, grin never fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Bold is the only way worth living.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder turned back toward the stage after telling an officer about the rule change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s see if Dahlia can really win this challenge or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the elders began to sit back down as the rule had been set. None of them could argue with Garion anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","a311545f77a8101fc7b864ab66ff1ad9f25d27896b83a5f6ebded9f6118624f3","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-286","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-285",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
