Damn you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion braced under it as his arms locked against the blade of the weapon, grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, stone man. You’ve got some power, but I have wrestled with people a lot heavier than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alonzo snarled, leaning in harder, sweat rolling down his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s see how long you can hold me down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his head to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feron! Bria! Attack now! I’ve pinned him down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Let’s end this now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt into the air, coating his curved sword with his red mana, shouting his skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crimson Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slashed downward, aiming straight for Garion’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Bria moved fast, her blade shining once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lunged from behind Garion, thrusting his spine, aiming to pin him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iron Thrust!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the three Second Realm cultivators attacked as one, but Garion only smirked, flashing his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think that I’m truly trapped? That I’m just a simple First Realm cultivator? Did you forget it already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s sword crashed down on Garion’s head, and yet when it connected, only a thin cut appeared across Garion’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! How?! That should have split you in two! I have used more mana than before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Bria’s sword pierced into Garion’s back and... stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only teh tip entered about a finger’s length deep before stopping as though stabbing a solid iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bria’s eyes widened in shock as this had never happened before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this can’t be! My mana trait should have made my strike stronger, so.... how can this be?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you already, didn’t I? I’m already in a super form. What you’re stabbing is not my body, but my super body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly twisted his body and arm in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SNAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone-covered axe was snapped in two, shocking Alonzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Axe! Impossible! That was forged from blackstone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion staredighen slowly, grinning even wider. He didn’t waste any time and quickly grabbed Alonzo by the collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that your axe is broken, it’s time for the owner to follow suit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alonzo struggled, punching Garion in the face with his stone-covered hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go! You fucking bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all those hits didn’t affect Garion at all. It even made him grinner even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then grabbed Alonzo by the waist and lifted him clean off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alonzo flailed, punching Garion again and again, although it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put me down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I’ll put you down. Don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one swift movement, he flipped the stock man upside down, holding him by the legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see if that stone skin of yours can save you now from this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alonzo frowned, panic rising in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WAIT!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion jumped slightly, then dropped down hard, driving Alonzo’s head straight into the dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s piledriver cracked the ground, and Alonzo’s head was embedded inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body went limp as the stone skins on his hands began to crumble into sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just stood up, brushing the dirt off his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned around, staring toward the only two who were left, Feron and Bria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s two down...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cracked his neck, grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s jaw tightened, his grip on his curved sword trembling a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bria’s face was tense, her lips pressed into a thin line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dario... Alonzo... Both gone. Just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a glance. Both were thinking the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can one man be this strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron forced himself to be steady and shouted at Bria without turning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bria! We need to use our strongest attack and do it together. Otherwise, we’ll die here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no reply came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron turned his head sharply and was shocked upon noticing that Bria was not there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bria?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shout then came from within the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s too strong, Feron! I’m sorry, but I still want to live!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bria also began to reassure Feron about his sect when he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll make sure that your sacrifice will be remembered when I take over your Red Fang Sect and fuse it with mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s eyes went wide, grinding his teeth together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard woman traitor! How could you do this to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked, slapping his thigh and shaking his head before bursting out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! Didn’t think one of you would run that fast. I barely saw her go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cupped his hand to his mouth and called after her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Bria! At least stretch before you run, or you’ll get a cramp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard no response, he just ignored it and turned back to Feron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like it’s just you and me now, Feron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s nostrils flared, coating his curved sword with more red mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I remember in the tournament, your disciples were the first ones my girl mocked, right? So that means...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed, grin never fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be the one who told the other to come here to kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s voice was low, venom dripping from each word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You humiliated both my sect and me. And now you’ve killed the other elders. Do you think I’d let you live after that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rolled his shoulders, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Funny. Shouldn’t you be the one begging for mercy? I already killed the other two with ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s curved sword trembled, the red mana burning brighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not them. I am Sect Leader Feron of the Red Fang Sect! And I will carve your name into dust!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head, then cracked his knuckles one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That’s the spirit. Show me everything you got, Red Fang. Let’s see if you can even leave another scratch on me before I break you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew heavy as both of them stood facing each other in this final showdown.\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a113557120d8abebf48f9484b6a9db4f8610e1a9ed9c9a164ba2448493f381f","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-57","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-55",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
