Then go ahead! Try blocking this one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist, pouring more energy into the massive sword, forcing it down harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the added power, Orel couldn’t hold the sword back anymore. The blade drove him straight into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy shockwave rippled across the field, and for a moment, no one moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as the dust slowly settled, Orel lay in the center of a crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t dead, but he had passed out, his body riddled with serious injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeral stood still, his chest rising slightly as he looked at him. \"Damn... what a strong body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the field, Pelion straightened, clapping slowly with a grin on his face. \"Haha... nice, nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward slightly, raising his voice. \"Congratulations, dear Grand Factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes swept across them, as playful as ever. \"You’ve won the first round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the Grand Faction members exhaled quietly. A few relaxed their shoulders as the tension eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion tilted his head, then looked directly at Jeral. \"So... do you want to continue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jeral could answer, Sianor stepped forward. \"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeral turned his head to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor met his gaze. \"You’ve done your part. Just leave the rest to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeral held his gaze for a moment, then sighed. \"...Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away from the field, walking back without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion looked down at Orel and smiled. \"You really went all out, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back and waved a hand. \"Hey, someone, drag him back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few Chimera soldiers rushed forward without hesitation. They slid down into the crater, lifted Orel, and carried him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion then turned to Heinkel, still smiling. \"So... who’s next? Who should we send out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel smirked. \"They’ve seen the power of our Third Realm chimera. No need to drag this out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Pelion. \"Send in a Perfection Realm chimera, in other words, a perfect chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion chuckled. \"Finally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his arms a little, rolling his shoulders. \"Heh... now we’re talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around, scanning the group before settling on one. \"Camille. It’s time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman leaning against a stone pillar smiled as her name was called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed herself off slowly, straightening up as she met Pelion’s gaze. \"So it’s my turn, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes shifted past him, landing on the Grand Faction side. \"I was getting bored for just watching the fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion watched her and smirked. \"Don’t enjoy the fight too much. There are still more waiting to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille only smiled as she walked past him. \"We’ll see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped into the center of the arena, stopping where Orel had fallen moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned toward the Grand Faction side. \"Let’s see if any of you Grand Faction leaders can excite me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren slowly closed his fan, tilting his head as his eyes scanned Camille from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he waved a hand dismissively. \"A girl, huh... I’ll pass. I don’t really like to fight a beautiful girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clark adjusted his sleeves and stepped forward. \"Then it’s my turn to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice cut in. \"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia walked forward as she rolled her shoulders, locking her eyes on Camille.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go. She’s a woman, and I’m a woman, so it’s quite perfect for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could say anything, Rachel frowned. \"Dahlia... wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t stop, though she slowed just enough to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel sighed and continued, \"She’s a Perfection Realm chimera, and you’re not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let out a small breath through her nose. \"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced back over her shoulder, grinning faintly. \"But I’ve fought one before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s expression didn’t soften. \"Darius doesn’t count. He was just a new one, and he even let his guard down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Dahlia pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor stepped in as well, not wanting Dahlia to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s right, Dahlia. This is a real Perfection Realm chimera, not someone you can trick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clicked her tongue, clearly annoyed, but didn’t argue back immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, a soft chuckle came from behind. \"Well... that’s no fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha stepped out from the back, hands clasped behind her, smiling as if she had been waiting for this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked up beside Dahlia and tilted her head. \"Big sister, you can go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glanced at her, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha pulled out a small bottle filled with black liquid from her spatial ring and held it up. \"Just drink this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stared at it, her face immediately twisting. \"No, I’ll pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha blinked, then tilted her head again. \"But if you drink it, you can fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia still didn’t dare take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel studied the elixir for a moment, then turned to Dahlia. \"If you drink it... you can go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened slightly. \"You’re serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia looked back at the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then at Camille, who was still standing in the arena, waiting. \"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and snatched the bottle from Mersha’s hand, surprising her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mersha wasn’t upset. In fact, she looked pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia popped it open without hesitation and took a big gulp. The moment she swallowed, she froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body stiffened, and she immediately clamped both hands over her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t thought that this elixir could taste worse than the regular one. She almost vomited on the spot if not for her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tilting her head back, she forced herself to swallow the rest of the liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after it was down, the urge to vomit lingered, her eyes watering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Mersha, glaring. \"How do you make something this bad?! Why give it to me right before a fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha clasped her hands together, smiling brightly. \"Of course it tastes bad. The worse it is, the better the effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, still grimacing. \"Damn you... what does it even do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha simply waved a hand. \"You’ll see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave Dahlia a small push forward. \"Go. Don’t waste it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia took a deep breath, straightened up, and slowly walked toward the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","e6bab1990092dedf9f7e321d1196b91ae4702567adfa56b509134cff245ea4e0","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-528","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-526",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
