So where are they hiding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he didn’t dwell on it too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Realm beasts had provided enough resources for his plans to create his favourite supplement, the[Limit Break Serum – Mana Pool Cells Version].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of each week, Garion smiled as he gathered all of them and handed some to a few of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them flinched the moment they saw it, but like always, no one could refuse and only drank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the disgusting taste that burned their tongues and throats, they pushed through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the second month, every disciple had reached the Completion Stage of the Mana Cells Refinement Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength rose so quickly that even Dahlia was impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also busy, leading a separate group and teaching them how to advance to the Mana Core Cells Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden had joined her sessions often, helping her keep track of progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised at how simple the process was in theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s basically the same as the first realm. We need to gather, refine, and temper until one of them becomes perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded, smirking. \"Exactly. And although it was a bit harder, when it was done, you’ll step into the second realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden smiled awkwardly. \"Easier said than done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia chuckled. \"Then stop saying it and start doing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the third month, most of the disciples had succeeded in creating their first perfect Mana Core Cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Garion looked pleased as he observed them from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. They’re adapting faster than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Dahlia, she had long since stabilised at the Propagation Stage of the Mana Core Cells Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aura alone was enough to make most disciples freeze when she entered the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the fourth month arrived, the atmosphere across the God Gym was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every disciple trained with burning focus, because at the end of the year, Garion had made an announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be leaving the Demon Gate Island, taking twelve people with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two were already decided, which were the direct disciples, Dahlia and Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other ten would be chosen based on strength, discipline, and potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the announcement spread, the training doubled overnight. No one slacked or even complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wanted to be among the chosen twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor shouted louder during drills, Rynar lifted heavier weights, and Clara and Eliza pushed their limits in sparring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the quietest disciples joined the competition with fire in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched them from the side, grinning widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. Push harder. Fight for it. Only the ones who endure can follow me later to the outside world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s voice also echoed through the hall, sharp and commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten more sets! If you can’t move... crawl! You want to be chosen, don’t you? Then move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples nodded as they trained harder and lifted heavier than before, knowing this was their chance to be quite famous later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end of the year came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every disciple stood in formation outside the main hall, their expressions a mix of excitement and nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion walked into the hall as usual, quickly scanning them and smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... this is it, huh? The end of our first year? And also the time when I’ll choose which ones to go with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples straightened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at them for a moment before turning toward the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system had already highlighted the people by giving some glowing golden arrows above their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good. This make it even easier.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he began to call out the names of the chosen ones out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master!\" she stepped forward proudly, her eyes shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliza.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here!\" she smiled faintly, trying to hide her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rynar. Rynor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins stepped forward in unison, grinning. \"Of course, Master. You can’t leave us behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"You two are hard to ignore, that’s for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued down the list, calling name after name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some disciples nearly burst into tears when they heard theirs, and the rest could only smile weakly, trying to hide their disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, twelve people stood before him, including Dahlia and Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he scanned them, he suddenly realized something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a second...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the system again to verify that the names and arrows were indeed accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four men? And the rest are all women? Seriously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AS always, no answer came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled deeply, muttering. \"Fine. Guess fate has its own preferences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned back, Dahlia was smirking knowingly beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, Master? Don’t tell me you’re scared of being outnumbered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"I’m not scared. I’m just wondering if the world’s ready for this much chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head and raised his voice again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, you all are the ten who’ll be coming with me... and with Dahlia and Arden, that makes twelve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then motioned toward another group of disciples, about forty of them, toward the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And for the forty of you... All of you with those ten will now become inner disciples. You’ll move into the inner dormitories starting today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forty disciples froze for a second, processing his words, then erupted into cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even jumped, laughing and hugging each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let them have their moment, smiling faintly. \"You’ve earned it. All of you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand, quickly silencing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the rest of you... Don’t be discouraged. Your time will come soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone softened slightly. \"When I return, I’ll bring more disciples to this island. And when they arrive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, smirking again. \"I expect you to show them what real God Gym training looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud, unified shout filled the air.\"YES, MASTER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded once, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7c84289ef3a75de6f8116bd6c50edb309b8dd908b3020cf54fcf2b2a862f665","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-114","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-112",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
