After a few days of flying, both Garion and Raviel had arrived at the Avenora Clan territory.

Garion stood at the edge of his flying ship and smirked. "Looks like I got here first."

Raviel rolled his eyes. "Damn it."

Garion only chuckled as he looked below at the amazing city that was filled with many kinds of plants.

The two ships then began to land slowly side by side. A warm breeze carrying the scent of flowers swept past them as the Avenora Clan members gathered around them.

Then, a group of women walked forward. Each one was really beautiful and graceful.

Leading them was a woman wearing a white and green robe with golden embroidery.

Garion's grin widened. "So that must be her, huh?"

Raviel smirked slightly, his tone calm but proud. "Yeah. Aveline, the matriarch of the Avenora clan. Beautiful, isn't she?"

Garion nodded slowly, still watching her. "I'll admit, she's beautiful. No wonder you can survive my infernal training."

Raviel chuckled. "Of course. If it wasn't for her, do you really think I'd willingly go through that madness you call training? I'm not that crazy."

Garion laughed, crossing his arms. "Fair point. But now I'm curious. You said she beat you before, right? I want to see just how strong she really is."

Raviel frowned slightly, glancing at him. "I lost once. Just once."

He paused, his expression turning serious as he looked back at Aveline.

"Don't underestimate her, Garion. She's not just beautiful but also one of the strongest cultivators in the world. Her control over nature is terrifying."

Garion smirked, amused by his tone. "Oh? Then this battle of yours is going to be very interesting."

Raviel nodded, his eyes locked on Aveline as she approached them. "Yeah. This time, I won't lose."

Garion's smirk deepened. "Good. I didn't train you to lose twice."

By now, the two flying ships had landed side by side in the open courtyard of the Avenora Clan.

Aveline was already standing at the front, surrounded by her attendants.

Garion and Raviel walked down the ramp of their ship together.

Aveline smiled faintly, her voice steady and elegant.

"Welcome to the Avenora Clan, Patriarch Raviel of the Revalis Clan, and Sect Leader Garion of the God Gym."

Garion blinked in surprise. "You know me?"

Aveline's smile deepened slightly. "Of course. The name God Gym has spread quickly since the Revalis Annual Youth Tournament."

"Your disciples, Rynar and Rynor, had managed to win it just after a year of training under you."

Garion raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Word travels fast."

Aveline nodded. "Not only that... There is other news that said you're just as strong as Patriarch Raviel when you're still in the second realm."

Raviel turned to Garion with a grin. "Told you. Just being associated with me, your fame would spread like wildfire."

Garion chuckled. "Seems like Elder Rendric has been doing his job a little too well."

Rendric, standing just behind Raviel, smiled politely. "Well, spreading good news about the clan and its allies is part of my duty."

Garion gave him a playful look. "Remind me to give you a good present later."

Rendric laughed awkwardly. "I'll settle for not being dragged into another of your training sessions."

Garion laughed loudly, clearly enjoying the jab. "Fair enough."

As the laughter died down, Aveline's eyes turned back to Raviel.

She studied him quietly for a moment, as Raviel had changed so much from the last time she had seen him.

For some reason, his face was even more attractive than before, and his body was the ideal balance of muscle and leanness.

Aveline smirked slightly. "It seems you've changed quite a bit, Raviel. You look even better than before."

Raviel grinned proudly. "Of course I have. I went through hell just for today, Aveline."

Aveline turned her attention to Garion, her tone curious. "And I suppose I have you to thank for that, Sect Leader Garion?"

Garion crossed his arms and smirked. "Naturally. Let's just say that Raviel has survived the Infernal Training just for today."

Raviel groaned. "You make it sound like I volunteered for torture."

Garion grinned. "You basically did."

Aveline chuckled softly, glancing back at Raviel.

"So that's what you've been up to. I see… if that's the case, this fight might be a little more interesting than last time."

She smiled confidently, her green eyes glinting with challenge.

"But don't overestimate yourself, Raviel. You may have trained hard, but I've defeated you once before. And that result might not change."

Raviel smirked, stepping closer. "Then why don't we find out right now?"

Aveline raised an eyebrow, amused by his eagerness. "Impatient as always."

She turned toward her attendants and waved her hand. "Elders, prepare the arena."

Several Avenora elders bowed and immediately moved to make preparations.

The ground trembled faintly as mana began to gather in the distance, forming a vast circular arena surrounded by trees glowing faintly with green light.

Garion whistled. "Impressive. You all even have instant arenas ready?"

Aveline smiled faintly. "We're used to visitors challenging our matriarch. It saves time."

Garion chuckled. "Efficient. I like that."

Raviel rolled his shoulders, eyes locked on Aveline. "Let's make it quick. I've been waiting a whole month for this."

Aveline smiled calmly, her tone playful yet firm. "Then don't hold back this time. I'd hate to see you lose too fast again."

Raviel smirked. "We'll see who's laughing by the end."

Just as the air around them began to thicken with mana, Garion suddenly stepped forward, raising a hand.

"Hold it! Before you two start getting down on each other, I have something to say."

Both leaders turned toward him. Aveline tilted her head slightly. "What is it, Sect Leader Garion?"

Garion grinned. "You see, I have a disciple who also happens to be from the Avenora Clan."

Aveline blinked, surprised. "A member of my clan… in your God Gym?"

Garion nodded. "Yep. And he's been wanting to prove himself for a while now. I figured this might be the perfect chance."

Raviel raised an eyebrow. "Wait, are you saying..."

Garion smirked, cutting him off. "Exactly. Before the main event between you two, why don't we start with a warm-up match? My disciple versus one of yours, Matriarch."

Aveline crossed her arms thoughtfully. "A member of our clan, you say? Hm… that could be interesting."

Garion grinned wider. "Just like the Revalis Tournament, right? Let the next generation show their strength first. Then we'll let the masters fight."

Aveline's lips curved slightly, a glint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Very well. I accept. It's been a while since our younger members had a proper challenge."

Raviel smirked. "Looks like we're making this a full show."

Garion chuckled. "Of course. The God Gym doesn't do anything halfway."
