Looks like all of you had some fun with those two, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then tossed the two corpses forward with a thud, making some disciples flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I also managed to have some fun with these two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar whistled slowly. \"You killed both of them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor blinked. \"Wait... did you do it by yourself, senior sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia shrugged. \"They were loud and flashy, only relying on their mana... other than that... nothing special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden rubbed the back of his neck, glancing at both corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... to think that Sister Dahlia can kill both by yourself? You are just too strong, sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia only grinned, placing her hand on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I could say the same to you, too. You did quite well for someone who doesn’t punch much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden gave a small and shy smile before frowning as he looked around again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we managed to defeat the other two... but we took a lot of damage too. Half the group is poisoned and injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza was kneeling beside a few disciples, feeding them later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara was tearing strips of cloth to wrap wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some disciples were pale, their veins faintly glowing green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s smile softened. \"Don’t worry too much about that, junior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked around and crouched down, checking one of the poisoned disciples’ pulse, then stood up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as they’re still breathing, Master surely can fix them. You know that he has some weird abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made a few disciples feel relieved, knowing that their Master was not an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia then looked around the clearing, her expression turning serious again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still, all of you need to remember this. Although all you won against two second realm cultivators... winning doesn’t mean everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples nodded slowly, knowing that what Dahlia said was the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden looked down at his own hands, then the wounded disciples around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sister Dahlia. We will remember this pain, and we’ll make sure to train harder to get stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smiled faintly. \"You’d better. Next time, I won’t be the one carrying all the fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then turned around and began to walk in the direction of the God Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s move now. We’re done here. Time to go home before the beasts start sniffing around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded. \"Right. Everyone, gather up! We’re heading back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples stood slowly, helping each other up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia led the group as the other disciples dragged the corpse of the fourth realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was going to present these four to her Master and told him to turn them into some good cadavers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was now sitting in the middle of an empty training hall, resting on one of the benches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around at his own creations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbbells and barbells made of Titan Ores, along with other machines he built using the system with whatever resources he has on this island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made a lot. Cable machines, fly machine, leg presses, incline and decline benches, everything that Garion wanted to be the gym he once had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, something felt missing. He rubbed his chin, thinking deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... I already made all the basics, but what else could I add, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and walked slowly around the equipment, observing every detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s strength training, endurance, mobility... Maybe something for balance and coordination?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a while before sighing, thinking something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that... What I really want is some unique equipment. This is another world, so I need to make some unique ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned, thinking hard, pacing back and forth. Ideas came and went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just too complex or too similar to what he already had here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch... nothing feels right. How do you even make a unique machine if I don’t even know the core of the machine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed the back of his neck, frustrated, and began to think about something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could think further, a familiar screen suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Alert]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unauthorized presences detected within Demon Gate Island.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Analysis Complete]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Four hostile cultivators identified: Mana Core Realm Level.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion froze. \"What?! Unauthorized presences?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately stood up. His disciples were only in the first realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were strong, they were not Garion. Four Mana Core Realm Cultivators could kill them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed toward the exit, rushing in the direction that all of them had gone earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why now of all times? If anything happens to them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak further, another notification appeared once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Status: Eliminated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"...Eliminated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the screen for a few seconds, almost thinking it was a glitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, hold on. Did you just say... eliminated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked again for a moment, and nothing changed. It was clear that the four intruders were eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his forehead in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way... Dahlia’s strong, but strong enough to take down four Mana Core Realm Cultivators that easily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, leaning against the wall, thinking it over further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... maybe. She’s reckless, but not stupid. And with Arden there...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, and a smirk appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid’s got a sharp mind. He probably devised a plan to trap them. Then he used the others and Dahlia to finish the job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he began to relax, another notification blinked once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed, yelling out. \"Can’t you just appear all at once? Seriously...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission Unlocked: Be Famous]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Objective: Establish the God Gym as a top-tier faction across the continent.

That’s new. If the system calls it special, it must be something really good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smirk formed on his face. \"Really interesting. It seems that we can’t stay hidden anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","c21a33805376757de48229221b03e5d4092c7858fa2fb50bd49e27affd2d0040","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-103","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-101",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
