You’re confident, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his body slightly, claws flexing as the scales on his arms tightened. \"Then let’s see if you can take this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting any longer, he pushed off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked under his feet as he rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he was already in front of Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people watching widened their eyes. \"So quick...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric swung his claw straight toward Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp tearing sound cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden didn’t panic. He raised his arm just in time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw hit his forearm. The impact echoed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s feet slid back a short distance, leaving marks on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric grinned. \"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Arden could fully stabilize himself, Fenric stepped in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Arden’s arm tightly. \"Got you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp twist of his body, Fenric lifted him and threw him across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s body hit the ground and slid several meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the surrounding warriors nodded. \"Already over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor frowned slightly from the side. \"...That guy hits hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor crossed his arms. \"Yeah, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar smirked. \"...he grabbed the wrong person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the field, Fenric cracked his neck once. \"That’s it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked forward slowly. \"I expected more from your confidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s figure became visible again. He was lying on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly he sat back up and brushed the dust off his sleeve like nothing happened. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric stopped walking. \"...You’re still fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stood up slowly. \"I just wanted to confirm something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric frowned. \"Confirm what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden adjusted his posture slightly. \"That your strength is real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Fenric again. \"And not just for show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people around them blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric’s expression hardened. \"...You’re talking too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward again. \"Let’s see how long you can stay calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden raised his hand slightly, ready this time. \"Alright... Now it’s my turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked as Arden suddenly rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric’s eyes widened. \"...Fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden closed the distance in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Fenric could fully react...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s fist drove straight into his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric’s body jerked slightly. \"...What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath hitched. His eyes widened in shock. \"How can...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at Arden. \"My body... I’m in dragon state...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact didn’t feel like a normal punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the force ignored the outer defense and struck inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden didn’t stop. He stepped in closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric instinctively tried to swing his claw down...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Arden moved first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his body quickly and slipped under Fenric’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one smooth motion, Arden’s head went between Fenric’s legs. \"What are you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Fenric could finish...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden grabbed both of his legs. Then he stood up. \"Up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric’s massive body lifted off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people watching froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden didn’t hesitate. He twisted his body and slammed Fenric straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shattered on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave pushed air across the plateau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nearby warriors took a step back. \"...That was heavy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor’s eyes lit up. \"Haha! That’s more like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor grinned. \"Told you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar crossed his arms. \"He picked the wrong opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the center, Fenric lay in the crater for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... He coughed. \"...Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed himself up slightly, clearly shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scales were still intact. But his expression had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stepped back calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric slowly stood up again, his breathing heavier now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Arden. \"...You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his neck once, then clenched his fists tightly. \"...congratulations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow grin spread across his face. \"You’ve made me mad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around him grew heavier. \"Now... I’ll show you my strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His claws began to glow faintly. Energy gathered around them, sharp and dense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Rending Dragon Claw].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people around the battlefield stiffened. \"That’s his main attack! Now it’s serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric kicked off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed forward again, faster than before, claws cutting through the air with a sharp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden watched him calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he let out a small sigh. \"Still the same style, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand slightly. \"Alright. Let’s finish this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric was already close. Then suddenly... He stopped. His body jerked slightly. \"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His claw froze mid-swing. \"...Why can’t I move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened. He looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick green vines had wrapped tightly around both of his legs, locking him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had grown out of the ground without anyone noticing. \"What the...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to pull his leg, but he couldn’t break it. Even when he used all his force...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the ground beneath him split slightly from the force, but the vines didn’t break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to move his upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he moved, more vines crawled upward, tightening around his legs like chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stood a few steps away. His expression didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just looked at Fenric and let vines wrap around his hands and forearms, layering over each other until they formed a massive fist around his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath him cracked slightly as the weight increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric raised his head and glared at Arden. \"You think this can stop me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared and tried to force his body forward, but it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden looked at him calmly. \"Struggling won’t help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric’s eyes burned with anger. \"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced his arm to move again, trying to swing his glowing claw. But it was too slow now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden raised his vine-covered fist. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked straight at Fenric. \"Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive vine fist drove straight into Fenric’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep shockwave exploded outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shattered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vines snapped from the impact as Fenric’s body was blasted backward, crashing across the plateau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled several times before finally stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell over the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stood where he was, lowering his arm. The vines slowly faded away from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his sleeve again like nothing happened. \"...Done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien exhaled slowly. \"...I told you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s eyes stayed on Arden. \"...Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b3d6a91fccf9751126ea917da021b1074fb04a435dccf2e7d85e31c532bffa3","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-155","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-154",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
