You want to take me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded without hesitation. \"Of course I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... you know about my condition, right? My body isn’t like everyone else’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly, resting his hand on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I know. In this clan, that weakness is seen as a curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward slightly, his tone firm but warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the God Gym isn’t like this place. We don’t care about bloodlines or talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked, looking up at him. \"Then... what do you care about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effort. That’s all. If you can move, you can improve. That’s the only rule that matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked at him, still uncertain but with a bit of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really believe that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"I built an entire sect on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed softly and a little sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then maybe there’s hope for me after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s tone turned firm, though his smile remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is. I’ll personally guide your training. You won’t be like the others. You’ll be stronger, little by little. You’ll see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel tilted her head slightly, watching him. \"You talk like it’s so easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not easy. But it’s simple. You put in the work, and the results come. The rest is just time and willpower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled faintly, her shoulders relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really do sound like someone who believes in people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t believe in people. I believe in effort. People fail, but effort doesn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel chuckled quietly. \"That sounds exactly like something you’d say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"And I mean every word of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s gaze then wandered toward the open night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s strange. I spent years trapped here, thinking there was nothing left for me. And now... suddenly, someone’s offering me a new path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what I do, Miss Rachel. I find paths where people think there are none.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, neither spoke. The wind brushed through, gentle and cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel broke the silence first. \"Alright, then. I’ll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened. \"Good. Pack your things tomorrow. We leave after the competition ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded once, her face calm but her eyes bright with something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she turned to leave, Garion spoke again. \"Oh, and Rachel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused and looked back. \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you step into the God Gym... don’t expect any special treatment. You’ll sweat, struggle, and curse me at least ten times a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel laughed softly, the first genuine laugh she’d had in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll be sure to start counting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled quietly as she walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door closed, he looked out toward the night sky again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A weak body, huh? We’ll fix that soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms, thinking for a moment, then turned toward the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright system. Rachel had already agreed to join the God Gym... so give me my special reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new system screen appeared, displacing a new notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Notification]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Status: Rachel Revalis. Pending Elder Designation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Condition: Not yet recognized by the God Gym System.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Requirements to Qualify:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[- Path Conversion -> God Physique Path]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[- Cultivation Requirement -> Mana Core Cells Realm: Assimilation Stage or higher]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[- Recognition Requirement -> Officially acknowledged by God Gym disciples]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Note: Once all conditions are fulfilled, new title will unlock: Elder of God Gym.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes twitched. \"What the! Are you fucking kidding me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed the back of his neck, glaring at the system screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Path conversion, assimilation stage, recognition... what is this? A job interview?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system stayed silent just like usual, accepting no complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed and leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear my system loves to make things harder for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then counted off the things he needed to do with his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, first... to convert her to the God Physique Path. That’s quite easy. I can help her to change her path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then paused, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, make her reach the Mana Core Cells realm and be at the Assimilation Stage. Not easy, as her body’s still weak, but still doable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thought about the third one, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And lastly, to gain recognition by disciples. That’s quite easy. The twins already adore her, and for others, as long as she is beautiful and kind... it will be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then folded his hand behind his head, concluding the requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now, I need to make her body stronger and make others love her... all while training a bunch of loud disciples who can’t even sit still.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a quiet laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, sounds like a normal day at the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he changed his thoughts to other matters, such as the next day, which would be significant and when the real competition would start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his chin, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow’s their match. It’ll be harder, and they’ll be facing people who actually know how to use their mana traits properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his finger against the table, his gaze thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The twins also don’t have any fancy weapons, either. They don’t have swords, spears, or even small daggers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled to himself. \"All they’ve got are their fists... and a lot of attitude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood and walked toward his own room. He stretched his arm, cracking his neck lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If other cultivators rely on weapons... maybe it’s time I give my disciples something of their own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smirk returned, sharp and confident. \"Not swords or spears. Something better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his system screen again and chose to activate a system function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Function: Divine Equipment Creation]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Status: Ready.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Input Request: Specify item concept.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Let’s make something special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began typing and speaking at the same time, his mind running fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Combat suits. They are customized to be flexible and lightweight but tough enough to take direct hits. They also boost movement speed and physical output.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen glowed brighter as schematics began forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his hand in excitement as it was time for him to edit it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This will be so much fun and really interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","db9da73c641850d504178035ad8dd256159be11bdb822817449ea78942d48cfe","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-130","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-128",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
