Did you think I was only this strong? You fool. Did you think I’d fight without a trump card?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at his bloodied arm, narrowing his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’ve been hiding something this whole time, huh? No wonder you’re so confident to face me alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron laughed as his aura flared even more, covering his sword with blood colored mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, Garion. I am not a stabilization stage cultivator, but rather, I am an Awakening Stage cultivator. I just reached it, so I wanted to hide...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his blade forward toward Garion, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’re just more troublesome than I thought. And I need to use this power just to end this humiliation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s frown deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awakening Stage...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to recall some stages of the Second Mana Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stabilization stage meant the cultivator could already use their trait, but their mana core was still just a seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Awakening stage was different, as the core had already transformed into a proper mana core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mana also transformed into a thicker one, and their traits became even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that meant one thing. Trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron slashed his sword again, and Garion raised his arm to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Feron’s strikes didn’t injure him badly, the effects of his trait were just too troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small cuts on his body were not only stop healing, but the throbbing pain from them seemed to be stronger and longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron grinned wide, seeing Garion’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you feel it? Your healing is stopped. Your body grows heavier with each strike. And the pain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron frinned even wider, licking his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pain will never leave your body until I say so. My trait isn’t just about power, but about making my opponent suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed again, swinging his sword wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, bleed and suffer more for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned, thinking about what to do about this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cut his body took was not serious, but the effect it brought was just too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without healing, his body began to weaken, and with the pain constantly on his body, it was hard to keep his focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn... this is really troublesome. I never thought that I would be in this very situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s laugh echoed in the clearing when he heard what he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think the mighty Garion that so arrogant, admit that he was in trouble. Good... really good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron raised his word again, pouring even more mana than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you’re already like this, I’ll take my time to cut you apart piece by piece, letting you feel every moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s mouth twitched into a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re really a lunatic and sadistic one, Feron. But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spat his bitter blood to the ground and pushed himself up, even though he was very weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened his back and planted his feet to steady himself before staring back at Feron, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t think I gave up, already. There are no such words in my dictionary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can you do now? You’re already this weak and can barely stand. All that’s left is for you to laugh one last time... and then die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged forward, swinging his blades numerous times, without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first slashed strike Garion’s chest, then his side, then his shoulder. One after another painted Garion’s body red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion didn’t move. He just stood there, taking every strike head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron laughed harder with each strike, his face twisting into a cruel smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong? Did you give up? Where’s all that arrogance now, huh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that Garion had already given up, there was no more fun in keeping this up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then finally, Feron jumped back, gathering his mana one last time into his curved longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you’ve given up... It’s time for you to die! Crimson Beheader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron roared, swinging his sword straight at Garion’s neck, and it landed... but couldn’t go deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade sank partway into Garion’s thick neck muscles but went no further, shocking Feron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron tried to press harder, veins bulding in his arms. The sword was already shaking, but Garion’s head stayed on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how can this be?! That was my full power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s face suddenly changed into a bloody grin, staring back at Feron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feron. You’re indeed right that I’m weak now... but did you forget what kind of cultivator I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron stayed silent, still not understanding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only laughed and explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feron, I’m a body cultivator. Even if I don’t heal... even if I don’t move... my body is still stronger than your sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at his hand, clenching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your trait was indeed troublesome, but it just slows me down and affects my focus. And that’s why...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his arms, wrapping them around Feron’s torso and tightening them across his back before he could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not able to kill me with your pathetic strength and can only torture me. And now, it’s my time to break you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron gasped, quickly panicking, knowing just how strong Garion’s body was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also cannot move, as his body and arms were pinned down completely by Garion’s tight hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you, Garion! Release me this instant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smirked as he got his face closer to him, grinning savagely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already had so much fun time with me, so now, it’s time for me to give you some fun time with my gym special... The Bearhug!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately tightened his grip and squeezed Feron, forcing him to scream loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAAAGGGHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only laughed, hearing his scream before leaning in close to his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feron, you are indeed strong with that blood trait of yours... but you forgot one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tightened his grip, and the sound of bones cracking filled the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s ribs buckled first, then his arms, then his legs twisted unnaturally as the pressure crushed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strength is everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s scream turned into a gurgle, then silence. His body went limp in Garion’s hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Fang Sect’s leader was no more.\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","6822886911152364efe1d9a299379ffe4908b0430eaf018a5cd7711a1956eb27","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-58","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-56",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
