The demonic flames were still affecting her. \"...Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her forehead, her expression turning more irritated. \"It’s getting worse...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing slowed slightly as she tried to steady herself. \"I can’t focus properly like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes sharpened again, though the pressure in her head didn’t fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, she stayed still. Then she exhaled slowly. \"...Looks like I can’t hold back anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand moved toward her spatial ring. She paused. \"...Do I really have to use it here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers brushed against the ring, hesitating for a second longer than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she clenched her fist. \"...Damn it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice lowered. \"To think I’d have to use this now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting more time, she reached into the ring and took something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small bottle appeared in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with an azure-colored liquid that faintly shimmered even in the chaotic light of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at it for a second. She then tightened her grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Garion noticed it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Dahlia took the bottle out, a faint smile appeared on his face. \"...Looks like this fight isn’t decided yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion, who had been watching the battle closely, turned toward him with a slight frown. \"...What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced back toward Darius. \"Can’t you see it? Darius is dominating the fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t argue. He only smiled faintly. \"I already said what I said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion stared at him for a moment, clearly unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned his attention back to the battlefield. His gaze quickly locked onto Dahlia. And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed the bottle filled with an unfamiliar azure-colored liquid in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed slightly. \"...What is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back to Garion. \"...That potion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone shifted, more serious now. \"Is that what you’re relying on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one hand slightly, as if explaining something obvious. \"You do understand what kind of fight this is, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice remained calm but firm. \"This is a third-realm battle. No potion can change the outcome of something like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded once. \"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone stayed relaxed. \"Potions normally can’t affect a fight at this level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. Then his smile widened just a little. \"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s eyes narrowed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued, almost casually. \"I happen to have a very... unusual alchemist in God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced toward Dahlia again. \"...So what you said doesn’t really apply to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s brows pulled together. \"...No way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly. \"That can’t be true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a quiet laugh. \"No need to ask me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head slightly toward the battlefield. \"Just watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice stayed calm. \"The result will explain everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, Dahlia opened the bottle and immediately frowned when the smell hit her. \"...Damn it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled the bottle slightly away from her face. \"Even though this thing is made from my own dragon parts... why the hell does it smell this bad, Mersha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression turned more irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the liquid for another second, clearly not happy about it. \"...This better be worth it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting more time, she brought the bottle to her mouth. \"...I just hope the taste isn’t worse than the smell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drank it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the liquid went down... Her entire face froze. \"...!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately covered her mouth with both hands, stopping herself from spitting it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body tensed as she forced it down. For a few seconds, she didn’t move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then slowly... She lowered her hands. \"...Damn it, Mersha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice came out strained. \"Why does it taste even worse than it smells?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled sharply. \"...That’s just wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her expression quickly shifted. Her eyes sharpened. \"...Still...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her fists. \"...The effect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of energy rose from within her body. \"...This is insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, her aura exploded outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp burst of power spread in all directions, instantly wiping away the demonic flames that had been clinging to her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her presence changed completely. The energy around her wasn’t just stronger, but it was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her power didn’t just double. It multiplied several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, her dragon form began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body grew larger, her frame becoming more imposing while still maintaining a humanoid structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure around her was basically intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Pelion watched the transformation happen in real time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed immediately. \"...What the hell...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed, clearly trying to understand what he was seeing. \"...What just happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Garion. \"How did her aura increase that much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked slightly. \"...Do you want to know what she just drank?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion glanced back at Dahlia for a moment, then returned his gaze to Garion. \"...Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion spread his arms casually. \"Of course. I’m a generous person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one finger slightly. \"Listen carefully. The potion she just used...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"...is called the[Sky Dragon Transformation Elixir].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s expression tightened. \"...Transformation elixir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned. \"...Don’t tell me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Exactly what you’re thinking. This potion allows someone to temporarily transform into a Sky Dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced toward Dahlia again. \"But here’s the interesting part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile widened slightly. \"What happens if the person who drinks it... can already transform into a Sky Dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s expression hardened. \"...Then it’s not just a transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes. \"...It amplifies her existing power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion stared at Dahlia for a moment, then looked back at Garion. \"...Where did you even get something like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled lightly. \"I told you. We’ve got a really crazy good alchemist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion frowned slightly. \"If you don’t want to tell me, just say so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms. \"No need to make things up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"...Believe whatever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze back toward the battlefield. \"Let’s just keep watching. The result will speak for itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","f49e7b01a242c02841d2065c4be341aee72c7e163a14e2b273d551670d655aff","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-168","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-479",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
