Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method-Chapter 471: Sky Fight Turned Shooting Practice

Garion stood at the front of the flying ship, his hands resting lightly behind his back as the wind brushed past him.

Behind him, Dahlia rolled her shoulders once, her expression steady.

Clara leaned against the side rail with her arms crossed, watching the horizon.

Eliza stood quietly near the edge, her presence almost unnoticeable.

The twins stood a bit further back, stretching their arms and checking their weapons.

Garion spoke without turning. "Get ready."

Dahlia smirked. "Already am."

Clara cracked her knuckles. "Took you long enough."

Eliza didn’t speak, but she shifted her stance slightly, her eyes narrowing just a little.

The others straightened. The atmosphere on the ship changed immediately.

Then... numerous enemies began to appear in the sky ahead.

They moved fast, surrounding the ship from multiple directions.

Dahlia’s smirk widened. "There they are."

Garion didn’t react.

"They’ve already fused," Clara muttered, her eyes narrowing.

The enemies were no longer fully human.

Their bodies were twisted with beast features like scales, claws, and wings.

Most of them resembled lizard-like forms; their movements were sharp and unnatural.

Without warning, all of them opened their domains. Thanks to their similar fused beasts...

Their domains began to connect with each other, forming an even larger domain.

The pressure increased in an instant.

But Garion didn’t stay silent.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he took a single step forward.

[Graviton]

The space around him shifted instantly as a heavy, invisible force spread outward.

The pressure that had been weighing down on the ship was pushed back completely.

Meanwhile, behind him, Arden was already preparing weapons for the others.

He had taken out several bows and a set of blank Corems from his spatial ring.

He tossed them to the disciples.

Clara caught one easily but frowned as she tried to recall how to use it. "...Do we have to do some pose and dance, Arden?"

Arden paused and gave her a flat look. "No. These bows are just weapons, not transformation devices."

Clara tilted her head, still suspicious. "...So no dramatic entrance song or anything?"

Dahlia snorted quietly from the side, crossing her arms. "You watch too much nonsense."

Clara glanced at her. "I’m just making sure."

Arden let out a small breath and moved on. "Just charge the Corem and attach it to the bow."

He stepped forward slightly and raised his hand, holding a Corem between his fingers. "Watch."

He activated his physique and poured mana into the Corem. It reacted immediately, turning green.

He brought the Corem to the bow and inserted it into the slot at the center.

The bow responded instantly as a faint line of energy formed along its frame.

Arden lifted the bow and aimed forward without hesitation.

An enemy rushed in from the side, but Arden had already locked onto him.

He spun the Corem once with his thumb while his other hand pulled back.

There was no string, but the moment he pulled, a green energy arrow formed.

He released it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The arrow shot forward in a straight line, cutting through the air and striking the enemy cleanly.

The impact hit mid-air, and the energy burst straight through the enemy’s body.

The enemy dropped immediately, crashing toward the ground.

Clara stared at the result for a second, then looked at her own bow. "...Okay, that’s actually good."

She rolled her wrist once, adjusting her grip, then lifted the Corem. Her expression shifted from playful to focused. "Alright."

A faint pulse of energy spread from her body as she activated her physique.

The Corem reacted instantly, its color shifting as it synced with her power.

Clara narrowed her eyes. "Let’s see."

She pressed the Corem into the center of the bow. The moment it locked in place, the bow gave off a faint glow.

She raised it without hesitation and aimed at a group of incoming enemies. "They’re getting closer."

She pulled back on the invisible string in one smooth motion.

An arrow formed lighter than Arden’s but was unstable in a different way.

Clara’s lips curved slightly. "Let’s try this properly."

She released it.

When it struck one of the enemies in mid-air, something strange happened.

Instead of falling, the enemy twitched and suddenly changed direction.

He flew straight into another enemy, crashing into him. Both of them dropped together.

Clara blinked once, then smirked. "Oh... interesting. My arrow does that?"

She fired again.

More enemies got caught in the effect.

Their movements turned chaotic as they collided with each other, quickly reducing their numbers.

Clara lowered her bow slightly, clearly satisfied. "Excellent. The illusion effect is really good."

Arden nodded once, already preparing another shot. "Of course it is. I made it."

He glanced at the battlefield. "So use it. Keep shooting. There are plenty of targets for today’s exercise."

Clara grinned. "Say less."

Behind them, Dahlia stepped forward, already holding her own bow. She glanced at Clara’s results, then back at the incoming enemies.

A faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at her blank Corem.

"Heh... I wonder what kind of power my arrows will have with my Sky Dragon power."

She raised her hand and let her energy flow into the corem, and it quickly turned into an azure-colored one.

She attached it to her bow and aimed forward.

An enemy rushed in from above, claws extended.

Dahlia smiled.

She pulled and released.

The arrow shot out faster than any before. It vanished almost instantly.

In the next second... the enemy’s body was torn apart mid-air.

Dahlia blinked once, then her smile widened. "Wow... is that my arrow?"

She pulled again.

The same result.

The enemy didn’t even realize what hit him before he was gone.

Dahlia lowered the bow slightly, clearly pleased. "So Sky Dragon increases speed and power..."

She tilted her head slightly. "...I like it."

Clara grinned. "Of course you do."

Arden didn’t look away from the battlefield. "Good. Keep firing."

Dahlia lifted her bow again, her eyes steady now. "Alright..."

She pulled once more. "...let’s push through."
