Don’t let him break the formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up in the air, the tiger man twisted his body as he pulled his claws back and then slashed toward the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple black claw waves came out of it and tore through the air, slicing upward toward the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drakenfel warriors below felt the pressure even from the distance, but Mailen didn’t falter at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept his eyes on those waves and shouted. \"Focus! Don’t let him take down the dragon projection! Counter them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded as they focused back again. They control the dragon projection to use another one of its skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana began to gather on the dragon’s claws, and as Mailen pointed forward, the skill activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon Claw Rend]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s protection swung its claws and... BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both attacks collided mid-air as the black claws waved, clashing against the dragon’s claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact shook the sky, shocking the Drakenfel warriors. They never thought that the tiger man could be this strong\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mailen looked back at them and warned them. \"Hold the formation! Don’t lose the connection with the dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them gritted their teeth as they tried to let the dragon projection destroy the rest of the black claw waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon projection pressed forward, its claws glowing as it crushed the remaining black claw waves one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger man, upon seeing the last of his attack get destroyed, wasn’t sad at all. Instantly, he was smirking wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his shoulder once, loosening up his claws. \"Interesting to think you can break all of my black waves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed his claws once again and roared. \"Let’s see if you can handle the real thing then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bent down way lower than before and then jumped higher than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he wasn’t going to use the black waves, but he was going to use his own claws to attack the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mailen frowned, seeing him jump. He looked back and ordered. \"Men use the defensive skill! Activate[Dragon Scale Guard]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drakenfel warriors nodded and began to activate another skill of the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s body began to shift as its body hardened. Its scales began to glow, showing that the hardness had been increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger man showed that the dragon had become harder, but he didn’t care. \"You think this can stop me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his claws up and landed his claws’ strike right on the dragon’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, he didn’t inflict any damage to it. \"It held?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to push harder, using more dark aman than usual on his claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed another claws strike toward the dragon, but to his surprise, the effects were still the same. \"Damn...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue and dropped back down to the ground. \"I didn’t think that it would be this hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mailen let out a short laugh. \"Not so easy, right? Don’t underestimate us so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger man looked at them and laughed. \"You’re right, but don’t you underestimate me too much either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his finger toward the Drakenfel warriors behind Mailen. \"Just looked at your precious warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mailen looked back at his warriors and frowned before turning back to the tiger man\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger man snickered. \"All of your warriors were already this tired after a few minutes of fighting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms slightly. \"So tell me this... what if we make the fight even longer than this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"Are you really sure that you’re winning in the end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mood quickly shifted as Mailen knew what he said was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip on his weapon tightened. \"Just shut up, you demon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his weapon again. \"We didn’t come here to doubt ourselves but to defeat all of you demonic beings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and joined the formation. \"Men... use[Dragon Ascension Strike]. I’ll be here to help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors immediately reacted and nodded. With their leader here, their burdens were slightly lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their formation tightened for one last time, and they poured their last mana toward the dragon to use its ultimate move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, the dragon began to rise higher into the sky and gathered the mana to its massive body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment its body glows and the pressure it emits is strong... it’s time to unleash it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It roared for one last time before diving straight down toward the tiger man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger man below looked up and smiled. It didn’t care what kind of ultimate move the dragon was using.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he cared about was to survive this and land a heavy blow on them. \"You want to insight his... huh? Well, I’m in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a heavy roar and coated his whole body with demonic mana, getting ready to intercept the dragon’s final skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above him, the dragon dropped even faster as the Drakenfel warriors gritted their teeth, forcing everything they had left into the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mailen’s eyes stayed locked on the tiger man. \"Don’t stop! Push it down! This is the final strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them nodded and focused even more. Fortunately, the tiger man didn’t even dodge, so they just need to focus on increasing the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger man opened his arms wider and roared. \"Let’s see which one of us breaks first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he said that, the dragon’s projection was just an inch away from him, and even he wanted to dodge it, it was too late\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just let the dragon swallow him, and in the next moment, the area around him exploded thanks to the impact of the dragon’s protection.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","8d3c95701989039c39eb42d27d703d346de946558d2f4dc4c43ffe59530f098b","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-159","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-460",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
