She only focused on the two that didn’t leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did the two of them not leave, but they were also the favourites to win this tournament: Larris and Elira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris shifted his stance as he reached behind his back and pulled out a massive battle axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Elira brushed her golden braid over her shoulder as she drew her slender sword from her hip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia lowered into her stance again, ready to fight both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... only the two of you are left. Show me why they call you the favourites. Don’t disappoint me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira smirked a little, hearing her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disappoint? You’ll soon understand why we’re called the favourites. And also, it’s not us that need to prove ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed her finger toward Dahlia, grinning wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the one who needed to prove yourself to us. Don’t disappoint us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes narrowed, ignoring what she said and getting ready to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris said nothing. He simply lifted his axe with both hands and stared Dahlia in the eyes intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them stood in a triangle, and the crowd leaned forward, waiting for the clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira moved first toward Dahlia.

Radiant Veil!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slashed her sword in a clean horizontal arc, and a wave of bright light burst from the swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also so bright that it made the front rows of the crowd cover their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped back quickly, dodging the blade, but she still never expected that the light would be this blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to it, Dahlia had lost her sight, and now she squinted her eyes, trying to recover it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Elira didn’t want to let her recover, so she turned to Larris and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Larris! Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris nodded as he rushed forward and roared, raising his axe high as he leapt into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock Splitter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris swung his axe down like a falling boulder, aiming straight for Dahlia’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned, still blind, not knowing what to do, so she tried to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She soon could feel a surge of mana above her, so she clenched her fist and chose to believe her gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last second, she sidestepped, dodging the attack that she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe smashed into teh ground, shattering the ground into uneven chunks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlai raised her arm to shield herself from the debris, and then she was ready to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could do so, her footing slipped as the broken ground made her balance broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clicked her tongue and quickly leapt backwards, putting some distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly rubbed her eyes, trying to recover her eyes as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from her, Elira and Larris regrouped, standing side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira smirked as she twirled her sword gracefully, mocking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. You managed to dodge it even without seeing it. But let’s see how long you can last.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris rested his axe against his shoulder, staring intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won’t be able to dodge all of my attacks forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s sight finally returned, and a small smirked appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting... I didn’t think a skill like that could blink me for even a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira laughed lightly, her eyes sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Dahlia. That was just the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted, stomping their feet and chanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some shouted for Dahlia, others for Elira and Larris, but everyone could sense that this match was even better than they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rolled her shoulders, smirking as this time she wasn’t underestimating them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then show me more of your power. This time, I’m not holding back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira raised her sword high again, the blade shining even brighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris lifted his axe, coating his body and axe with mana, making him even stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira moved first again, and her sword shone even brighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Radiant Veil!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slashed horizontally, trying to blind Dahlia again for the second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia just smirked, knowing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think it’ll work a second time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she didn’t panic. She closed her eyes and tried to use her senses to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira only laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if you know it? Closing your eyes won’t save you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swung diagonally, trying to cut Dahlia, but Dahlia’s smirk grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already knew what the best probable strike after Radiant Veil was, and her guess was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last moment, she sidestepped and shot her hand to catch Elira’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira’s eyes quickly widened in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew immediately that once Dahlua got hold of her, it was over. She quickly shouted in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Larris! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris quickly moved without hesitation to save her, stomping the ground hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mountain Step!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone floor cracked and shifted beneath Dahlia’s feet, causing her to waver in her stance and balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to it, her grip on Elira’s wrist was lost, giving Elira a chance as she twisted and swung her sword upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dahlia’s reflexes were sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately twisted her hips and delivered a hard kick straight into Elira’s gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira’s body was foiled as she was sent flying backward across the arena, crashing to the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Larris was already on her, raising his axe high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock Splitter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes narrowed. This time, her vision was clear, and she smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped aside, letting the axe hit the floor, and Dahlia countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already knew the floor was uneven, so she bent her knees and launched herself into the air to deliver a high-jump kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her surprise, Larris’s arms managed to block her kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia could feel that his skin was even tougher than normal skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earthen Guard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Larris reached Dahlia’s leg with one big hand and smirked a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grunt, he twisted his body and hurled her across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped again as Dahlia spun in the air, but instead of crashing, she twisted her body, landing safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back at both Elira and Larris, grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two are really interesting and strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1131,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","899e1d3b9a250643b8aa3de5386df996443ae16679b43c2915716c752985dcff","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-287","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-46",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
