Don’t you know you people picked the wrong ship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man burst into laughter the moment he heard her. \"Hahaha! You idiots hear that? The little rich girl’s threatening us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates behind him laughed even louder, feeding off their captain’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alira kept speaking anyway, like she hadn’t heard a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are currently blocking the route of a registered private ship operating under the authority of the Cosmic Terminal Territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed slightly. \"Your actions already qualify as illegal interception, territorial harassment, attempted robbery, and unauthorized targeting of a protected vessel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow from the side. To think she could stay this calm... expected of someone working under the Manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the scarred pirate clicked his tongue impatiently. \"What registered ship? I don’t care. Stop babbling and hand over y-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even finish, Alira cut him off coldly. \"If you retreat now, I can still file this incident as a minor border conflict. But if you continue blocking me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression sharpened as several warning symbols suddenly appeared behind her hologram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will legally classify your fleet as hostile pirates and destroy every ship present.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire private ship crew fell silent briefly. Even Garion looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn... she talks way more aggressively than I expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to finish it off, Alira added one final sentence in an icy tone. \"And trust me... nobody’s gonna care if a few space pirates disappear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man’s expression instantly darkened, and the pirates behind him stopped laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them slammed his weapon against the wall angrily. \"Boss, this bitch is looking down on us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another growled, \"Forget negotiating! Let’s just blow them apart already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man’s face twisted viciously before he pointed directly at Alira through the screen. \"You think one tiny private ship can threaten the Black Fang Pirates?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his fist onto the control panel and shouted loudly, \"Fine then! If that’s what you want, then let’s fight! Attack them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire pirate fleet began to move as massive black ships spread outward through the space surrounding Alira’s vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warning alarms immediately echoed throughout the ship as countless signals appeared across the control panels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[WARNING!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HOSTILE ENERGY SIGNATURES DETECTED]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LOCK-ON DETECTED]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[WEAPON SYSTEMS CHARGING]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned forward slightly in his seat, staring through the massive window ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black pirate ships were already closing in, and glowing cannons had begun appearing from their hulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several smaller assault ships also detached from the main fleet and rushed toward them at terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned excitedly. \"So this is what real cosmic piracy looks like...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Alira remained completely calm despite the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed one hand over the control console while countless holographic screens surrounded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three medium-class pirate ships,\" she muttered calmly. \"One modified heavy ship... and around fourteen assault vessels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"You can tell all that from those screens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira nodded once. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she glanced at him briefly. \"Let me show you how battles in the Cosmic Universe actually work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately sat properly in his chair like an excited kid about to watch a movie. \"Good. I’ve been curious about that too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the ship, several pirate cannons suddenly glowed brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive beams of crimson energy tore across space directly toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding darkness instantly lit up red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks looked more like gigantic laser cannons than cultivation techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the beams could even touch the ship, a massive transparent barrier suddenly appeared around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!! BOOOOM!! BOOOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy blasts exploded violently against the shield, sending enormous shockwaves rippling through space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Alira’s current ship barely moved at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked genuinely surprised. \"That energy shield’s insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira calmly continued operating the controls. \"This is Manager Paren’s private ship. Its defensive systems are naturally far beyond ordinary civilian vessels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another barrage slammed repeatedly into the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!! BOOOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the barrier only flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Hahaha... poor bastards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, inside the pirate fleet, chaos immediately broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our attacks aren’t penetrating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That shield isn’t normal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred pirate captain’s expression darkened. \"That’s no ordinary private ship...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside Alira’s vessel, Garion crossed his arms while watching the battlefield outside with growing interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So most space battles are basically ship technology versus ship technology?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira shook her head lightly. \"That’s only the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several new holograms appeared before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cosmic ships are extremely important. Even though powerful cultivators can travel through the universe themselves, they still need something to support and protect them in deep space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed several commands across the console.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Technology, formations, energy reactors, weapons, shields, navigation systems... all of it matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It actually made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space was more like Earth for cultivators than people usually imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful cultivators could survive there naturally, move through it, even travel across the stars with their own strength alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But surviving wasn’t the same as living comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ships, formations, energy systems, navigation tools... all of it made travel safer, faster, and far less exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without support, crossing the endless universe was still dangerous, inconvenient, and lonely as hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even peak cultivators didn’t casually wander through infinite space with nothing but their own bodies unless they absolutely had to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he finished thinking that, several pirate assault ships suddenly accelerated toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapon blades unfolded while strange energy engines ignited behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re attempting close-range boarding,\" Alira said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately became even more excited. \"Oh? Now we’re talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira glanced at him briefly. \"Sit properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Alira’s mouth lifted slightly for the first time. \"Because this part might shake a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, her fingers pressed down onto the main control panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship instantly roared with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VVVVVVVMMMMMM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic blue energy circle suddenly expanded beneath the vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes widened. \"What the hell is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira’s calm voice echoed through the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cosmic weapon systems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the entire ship suddenly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship shot forward through space at terrifying speed like a silver comet, instantly crashing straight into the middle of the pirate formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates’ shocked screams immediately echoed through the communication channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"IS THIS WOMAN INSANE?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T11:12:31.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","65b1dda960ddabeb3c11c1edc074fc068a276b5638e7280d069f20f113e8337e","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-579","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-577",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
