He looked up toward the floating ship in the sky and called for the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Rendric. Who is that? The ship above the arena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That, Patriarch, belongs to the God Gym Sect, the newly rising sect everyone’s been talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently famous, you say? I haven’t been keeping track of the world affairs these days. Tell me, what are they famous for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded quickly, folding his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re actually quite a new sect and only appeared a year ago, but they shocked everyone by winning the Once-a-Decade Youth Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other elders whispered quietly, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of their disciples, Dahlia, I think, crushed every competitor in the finals single-handedly. Even the young elites from some high-tier sects couldn’t last against her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel tapped the armrest of his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia... interesting. What kind of cultivation path do they follow? I felt that their energy was a bit different from the usual cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric scratched his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the strange part. They don’t cultivate the regular path like us, but they followed a path that seemed to enhance their body with some kind of weird training routines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few elders exchanged doubtful looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, a physical path, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How primitive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe so, but it works, as you can see from their fame, as well as their sect leader, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stroked his beard again, frowning a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is rather famous for offending many people. He’s... blunt to the point of madness. I’ve heard he even shouted vulgar insults at others during their disciples’ match in the arena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of the surrounding elders stirred uncomfortably, some scoffing, others amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s lip twitched upward. \"Blunt, hmm? A man who doesn’t flatter others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric gave a short nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Patriarch, and thanks for that... After the tournament, even with the official protection decree, several sects sent mercenaries and assassins to kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised an eyebrow. \"Protection decree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Rendric continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Dahlia won the tournament, she made a special request as her reward. She wants to claim a new island for their sect and receive ten years of immunity from outside interference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel hummed softly. \"Ah... so that was the recent ban I heard about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Yet even under that protection decree, many couldn’t stand him. They still tried to get rid of him, but none of those who went after him ever came back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Patriarch’s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint glimmer of amusement showing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the assassins disappear, and the man lives on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed,\" Rendric said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And from what the reports say, his sect hasn’t weakened, and it’s grown stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel leaned back in his seat slightly, his voice thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting. So he’s not just another loud fool. There are many who are strong and blunt, but few who survive making that many enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the sky again, where the flying ship hovered above the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But tell me... what made this God Gym truly famous? There must be more to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric hesitated, glancing toward the other elders before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their sect location, Patriarch... it’s on Demon Gate Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s expression didn’t change at first. Then his eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Gate Island? That cursed place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Patriarch. They built their sect there and somehow survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one knows how or why. Some say the man is fearless... Others think he’s insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel only chuckled, hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fearless or insane... perhaps both, but still he was quite a daring one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But soon enough, he’ll learn the truth of that island. The time is drawing near... and when it awakens, even courage will not save him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric’s expression darkened. \"You mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded slowly. \"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I saw two people descend from that ship earlier. Who were they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric pointed toward the two figures standing proudly in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, those two are Rynar and Rynor, sub-branch descendants. They left the clan a year ago and, it seems, joined his sect. And now, Garion brought them back to compete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised an eyebrow, grinning a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those two? the troublemakers who couldn’t go a week without starting a fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded, a faint smile forming. \"The same ones, Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel chuckled under his breath. \"Then this will be worth watching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rested his hands on his knees, eyes gleaming with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see if this God Gym of his can truly turn those weak little troublemakers into cultivators worth remembering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back once more, the smirk returning to his face as the drums of the competition thundered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd roared as the announcer raised his voice, trying to be heard over the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well! It seems we have new competitors joining this year’s Revalis Clan competition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the center of the arena, where the twins stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, please welcome... Rynar and Rynor Revalis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience broke into a mix of cheers, whispers, and laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, did he say Rynar and Rynor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The trouble twins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They actually came back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar smirked. \"Heh. Seems we’re still famous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor folded his arms. \"More like infamous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer gestured grandly toward the Power Testing Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s not waste time! Step forward and show the clan what you’ve got!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders. \"Let me go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor smirked. \"Don’t embarrass yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please,\" Rynar said, stepping toward the pillar. \"Watch and learn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t take a stance or even use his mana. He simply clenched his fist and threw one clean punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar flared instantly with pale blue light, shocking the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"P-Pale blue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, that’s near the Second Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he didn’t even use his mana!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer’s eyes went wide before he shouted into the voice amplifier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pale blue! Passed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned and stepped back. \"That easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor whistled. \"Huh, not bad. Guess I’ll match that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked up casually, hands in his pockets, then kicked the pillar with one smooth motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes pulsed pale blue once again, making the announcer almost drop his mic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pale blue again! Two back-to-back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in shock and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They barely moved!:\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can they hit that high with a casual strike?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last year they couldn’t even light it white!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some elders leaned forward, whispering to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric, who stood behind the Patriarch, crossed his arms and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems they truly have changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","dbb29d36f35cccfc1679e53cc2f9ad89046939c2e37376a5171c436f23518569","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-121","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-119",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
