Just before Rachel released her attack, she shifted slightly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened in shock. \"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His[Duality Collapse Strike]was designed to crush everything inward, disrupting any skill it touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Rachel prepared to fire, he had already decided to counter with his ultimate technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise... Rachel seemed to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, his attack surged forward, managing to graze part of Dahlia’s[Love Beam], weakening and disrupting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel had already begun to move, believing it would at least lessen the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Rachel’s attack struck him, it swallowed him whole and hurled his body backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AARRGGHHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet dragged violently across the ground, carving deep grooves into the arena. His arms trembled as he struggled to resist the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t know was that all of Rachel’s attacks now carried the same and enhanced effect: reduced physical damage, but the pain intensified more than twofold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though his body remained largely intact, the agony was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GHHKK!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body shook as he dropped to one knee. \"Why... are all your skills like this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel staggered, one foot slipping as he barely managed to stop himself from collapsing completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing turned ragged, his shoulders trembling as he fought to regain control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Rachel stood across from him, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the aftermath, she realized what would have happened if she had been hit by Heinkel’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Garion’s[Gravity Hole], it devoured everything in its path and crushed it inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a quiet breath.Thank God I dodged that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stood where she was, taking a moment to steady her breathing. Once she calmed down, she turned toward Heinkel and walked over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she reached him, she saw that he was lying on the ground. His face was twisted in agony, and his breathing came out hoarse and uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... his body looked completely unharmed, as if he hadn’t taken any damage at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smirked. \"Wow, Heinkel. As expected of a perfect chimera, you’re still fine after all that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel looked up at her as if he were staring at a devil, his expression tightening into a deep frown. \"So what?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s grin widened. \"Since you’re still fine, let’s go again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel immediately shook his head. \"Hell no. I give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked, stunned. \"W-what? What the hell? Could you repeat that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of one of his underlings, Heinkel struggled to stand. \"I already said it. I give up. I’m not doing this again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stared at him in disbelief. \"But... you’re not even injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel didn’t bother explaining. \"When I say I’m done, I’m done. Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to Rachel, the reason for Heinkel’s sudden surrender lay in his unique ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His \"cheat\" was[Clear Mind]. No matter what he endured, his thoughts remained perfectly stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while cultivating his Demonic Chimera Path, his mind stayed calm and unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, he had rarely experienced true pain. So the moment Rachel used a skill that inflicted absolute, overwhelming pain... he broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of ever feeling that again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel watched him leave and let out a quiet sigh. \"So... I win, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel snorted as he turned back toward her. \"Win?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he tilted his head slightly. \"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s brows furrowed. \"What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a step forward, her voice firm. \"I beat you, the leader of the Black Chimera. That means I win, and the tournament is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel turned fully away from her. \"Indeed, you have defeated me... but don’t think for a second that I am the strongest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes narrowed. \"W-what do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Heinkel straightened and faced the demon gate near the arena. His voice dropped into something almost reverent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please come out... Demon Lord Haron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the demon gate stirred. Dark energy pulsed from within as a figure began to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tall, broad-shouldered, and powerfully built. His body was covered in thick fur, and around his neck was a mane that framed his head like a crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A humanoid lion stood before them, and from the sheer weight and taste of his aura, he was unmistakably a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel frowned. \"So this is your plan? Calling a demon for backup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel ignored her completely. He turned to Haron and dropped to one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Haron... we have failed. We did not anticipate their strength. We ask for your aid so that we may still claim victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron glanced down at him, then grinned. \"I see... If that’s the case, then for the sake of my territory... I’ll help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel smiled. \"Thank you, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron’s gaze shifted to Rachel as he began walking toward her, slow and deliberate. \"So... you’re the one who defeated Heinkel, hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel instinctively straightened, meeting his gaze with a confident grin. \"Yeah. That’s me... Rachel, the one who beat him. So... what do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron’s smile widened. \"Woman...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes roamed over her, assessing, measuring. \"You are strong. So why don’t you become... my concubine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked. \"Excuse me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron tilted his head slightly, as if confused by her reaction. \"Don’t you understand, woman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a hand on his chest. \"I am Haron, the Beast Demon Lord. To be chosen by me is a great privilege.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand toward her. \"You should be honored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stared at him, her expression darkening. \"A privilege...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips twitched before curling into a sharp, dangerous smile. \"Let me get this straight, you stupid cat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron’s expression shifted. \"What did you just call me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel didn’t hesitate. \"I’m Rachel... Garion’s husband. And who the hell do you think you are, asking me to become your concubine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a harsh snort. \"Eat shit, you ugly, delusional furball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, there was silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Haron burst into laughter. \"Hahaha... You’re insane. Just as expected of a lioness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin turned feral as he clenched his fist. \"Then let me show you just how great I am, the Beast Demon Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel cracked her knuckles, her grin just as fierce. \"You don’t know shit, you oversized housecat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stance lowered, ready for battle. \"You’re the one who’s about to get put down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","de79aa0d7b7f5f1b6ca969c73b6f51ef0c94ab6f7ad03bd120e1c76c105ee674","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-548","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-546",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
