Technically, you’re not allowed back in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s jaw tightened. \"That was different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe,\" Sianor replied, exhaling slowly. \"But the rule is still the rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clicked her tongue, irritation flashing across her face. \"Dammit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the situation, Rachel let out a quiet sigh. \"...Then I’ll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Sianor and Floren turned to her in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor frowned. \"No, you can’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren, half-hidden behind his fan, tilted his head slightly. \"Rachel... even if you want to, you’re not allowed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned sharply. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer, her eyes locking onto Rachel’s. \"You can’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing her arms tightly, Dahlia added, \"You’re not even stronger than me, and he’s in the Fourth Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel met her gaze and smirked. \"Are you sure about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s expression hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s smile deepened. \"I’ve been watching the fight this whole time. I think I can beat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added softly, \"And... do you really think I’m weak? I’ve never shown my true power, have I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dahlia could respond, Rachel gently placed the baby into her arms. \"Hold Giselle for a moment. I’ll finish this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked, startled, but carefully took the child. \"...Just make sure you come back alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gave a faint smile, then turned and walked toward the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me show you,\" she said, her voice steady, \"the power of Garion’s wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel strode into the arena without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel narrowed his eyes as he watched her approach. \"You’re serious about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stopped a few steps away and flashed a confident grin. \"I am. And don’t you dare underestimate me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed a hand over her chest. \"I’m Garion’s wife and the Divine Trainer of the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel’s expression barely shifted. \"I see. But understand this... I don’t hold back. Not even against a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel laughed softly. \"Good. Then show me what you can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised one hand slightly and clenched her fist. In the next instant, the space around her blossomed with radiant energy as her domain unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Radiant Love Domain]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel frowned as a strange sensation coursed through him. His body felt... off. Weaker. Unstable. \"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned sharply toward her. \"How is this possible? How can your domain affect me? I’m a perfect chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel tilted her head, her smile widening. \"Of course it can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, calm and assured. \"This is my unique domain. It’s not like the ones ordinary cultivators use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel’s frown deepened. \"Impossible. All domains function the same; the effects are the only difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel shook her head. \"Not mine. This isn’t just a domain... it’s a living domain, unique to members of the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grin sharpened. \"You’ve never experienced one before, have you? Then let me show you just how powerful we are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel paused and then laughed, low and eager. \"I see. That makes this far more interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, energy surging around him. \"Come, Rachel. Let’s fight with everything we have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled. \"Gladly, Heinkel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel exhaled slowly, flexing his fingers as black-and-white energy pulsed around him in steady waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel, on the other hand, stepped forward with a confident grin. \"Are you ready for this, Heinkel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel narrowed his eyes. \"Let’s just get this over with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blur of black-and-white energy sliced through the air, coiling tightly around his hand, then, in the next instant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel closed the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fist rose, glowing with a vivid pink light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Love Punch]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It struck Heinkel square in the chest, sending him crashing backward onto the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath hitched. His aura flickered violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then something surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something he had forgotten even existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is this?!\" he gasped. \"How can you damage me? Why does it hurt this much?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could recover, Rachel was already there again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pivoted smoothly and snapped her leg forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Love Kick]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her strike connected cleanly with his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GHK!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strangled sound tore from his throat before he could suppress it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered back, one hand clutching his side as if trying to hold himself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just what the hell did you do?!\" he demanded. \"My body’s fine, but this pain... what the hell is it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel tilted her head, watching him with clear amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it is,\" she said lightly. \"That’s my Love Punch and Love Kick. They don’t physically damage you, but in exchange...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They make it hurt far more than it should.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel frowned and tried to straighten, but the moment he moved, another wave of pain pulsed through him, forcing his breath to hitch again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s... really not fair,\" he muttered. \"How is that even possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know,\" she said with a shrug. \"That’s just my power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her stance, readying herself again. \"Now, let’s continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel didn’t answer right away. When he finally lifted his head, something in his eyes had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Rachel, frowning. \"How dare you...? How dare you play with me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the black-and-white energy surrounding him didn’t flare outward. Instead, it compressed, condensing tightly around his body like a coiled force ready to snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened. \"How dare you mock me, the perfect chimera... the leader of the Black Chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel only smirked, unfazed. \"So, you’re finally getting serious, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel’s gaze hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... I am. And congratulations...\" his voice dropped, colder now, \"...you’re the first one to make me do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes narrowed slightly. \"Do what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel didn’t answer. Instead, his energy erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Perfect Demonic Holy Dragon Form]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power surged outward in a violent pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muscles tightened beneath shifting, emerging scales as his body expanded, taller, broader, and heavier with presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-and-white patterns across his skin deepened, spreading further and sharpening into intricate, defined markings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spine straightened, posture rising as something ancient and draconic forced its way to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horns curved outward from his head, longer now, sharper, more refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms lengthened, claws extending into larger, deadlier points that gleamed with unnatural precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, his wings burst open once more, vast, imposing, far larger than before, casting a looming shadow over the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel rolled his shoulders slightly, settling into the weight of his new form, as if reacquainting himself with something long restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Rachel again. \"Let’s try this again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2c9d3d46c06a05a7f7d9ad1b5d344978719dacbbbf06a32bb7725f20434298a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-544","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-542",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
