The moment Rachel stepped into the arena, his aura surged, rising like a tidal wave as he slowly lifted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He locked eyes with her and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Royal Roar]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound tore across the arena, overwhelming and absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every chimera within its reach dropped instantly to their knees, their bodies trembling under the crushing authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it reached Rachel...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron’s grin faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stood still, unmoving, as if the roar hadn’t affected her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence stretched between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell...?\" Haron muttered, his eyes narrowing. \"Why didn’t you kneel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of irritation crossed his face as he raised his claw, gathering power once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Royal Mark]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson sigil shaped like a lion’s head formed in the air, glowing with a sinister light. With a sharp motion, Haron hurled it toward Rachel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark was meant to bind her as his prey. Once marked, he would always know her location, and her strength would be steadily suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes widened. She tried to dodge, but it was too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sigil struck her and sank into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, everything stilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... Both Rachel and Haron tilted their heads in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked, glancing down at herself before looking back at him. \"Is that supposed to do something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell just happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it. The mark had taken hold. He could sense her location clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why aren’t you weakened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened as he focused, scanning her more carefully this time. His eyes sharpened, searching for any clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only reason it would fail...\" he murmured under his breath, \"is if the target has a higher bloodline...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened. \"Could it be that...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel heard him and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HerGod Physiquehad already evolved her body beyond mortal limits. Of course her bloodline surpassed his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t bother saying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aura shifted as her ability activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lovely Aura]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft yet overwhelming presence bloomed around her, pushing back the oppressive, demonic atmosphere radiating from Haron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suffocating pressure in the arena eased, replaced by something warm, yet no less powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel exhaled lightly. \"Finally... that disgusting aura of yours is gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes sharpened. \"Now we can get serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she moved,[Lovely Darling]activated instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability strengthened her body in proportion to the love directed toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was basically the core of her God Physique. It amplified her power to an absurd degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor and the others were watching. Worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she reached Haron, her strength had already surged far beyond its previous limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She twisted her body mid-step and drove her fist forward in a clean, precise strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Love Punch]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow landed squarely against Haron’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact itself wasn’t explosive, but it didn’t need to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infused with her[Lovely Energy], the attack carried a different kind of effect. The physical damage was reduced...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain... The pain was multiplied. And Rachel hated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed that multiplier to its absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief second, Haron didn’t react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his mouth opened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AARGHHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scream tore out of him, raw and uncontrollable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His claw slammed into his own chest, digging in as if he could rip the pain out from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh split under his own strength, his body convulsing under the overwhelming sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironically, the damage on his chest now came more from his own claws than from Rachel’s strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was that intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron had fought in countless wars. He had endured wounds, curses, and torment beyond what most could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never felt anything like it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stepped back slightly, a grin spreading across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s all it takes?\" she said, her tone laced with mockery. \"A Beast Demon Lord... crying over a little pain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, eyes gleaming. \"How laughable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron lifted his head slowly, his breathing ragged. His gaze locked onto her, fury burning through the lingering shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... woman...\" he growled, his voice strained. \"How dare you... do this to me,the Beast Demon Lord...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened as he forced his body to steady itself. Dark energy surged within him as he drew upon his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demon Lord Mana]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike ordinary demons, Haron’s mana as a demon lord was denser, more refined, and far superior. It flooded through his body, accelerating his recovery and suppressing the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torn flesh began to mend. His posture straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly, he regained control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain lingered deep into his mind. It no longer dulled or faded. It burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron’s expression twisted. \"I’ve had enough... of playing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his arm and roared, his voice reverberating across the battlefield. \"All of you... come. Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the demon gate shuddered violently. Its surface rippled like disturbed water before splitting open, releasing a torrent of creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They poured out in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf-like beasts with four glowing red eyes and six legs hit the ground first, their bodies low and predatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them came hulking, turtle-like abominations, their shells cracked and jagged, their limbs replaced with writhing tentacles that dragged and slithered across the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then more followed, dozens upon dozens of grotesque, unnatural forms. Each one was different. Each one monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every single one of them knelt before Haron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide grin spread across his face as he extended his arms, basking in the sight of the gathered horde behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woman,\" he said, his tone laced with dark amusement, \"I applaud you for forcing my hand. Truly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened. \"And for that... I’ll show you the true power of a demon lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, letting the weight of his words settle. \"A demon lord’s strength isn’t measured by personal might alone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arm shot forward. \"But the power to command an entire race. Go! Destroy them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words rang out like a decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled as the demonic army surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claws ripped into the earth, tentacles lashed wildly, and jaws snapped as they rushed Rachel from every direction, an unstoppable tide of chaos and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move!\" Sianor shouted, his voice cutting through the panic. \"This isn’t a tournament anymore. This is war! Go, go, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, members of the grand factions flooded into the battlefield, meeting the advancing horde head-on as the clash erupted into full-scale conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa1a4f325de77060ccefdc1542e7877700af59e86de5aa2d73be61cdf1b3005c","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-550","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-548",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
