It then brought its head twice more to test Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slipped between strikes, moving wildly to avoid, as his opponent was a snake, not a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, it was quite hard to fight it as this snake was not only heavier but also smarter than any normal human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then coiled and wrapped Garion’s left leg, squeezing it, making Garion grunt in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, cultivators began to shout in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crush him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, squeeze him until his bones snap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One overeager fool lunged in with a spear, trying to stab Garion while he was held down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the snake’s tail suddenly whipped wildly, and the man nearly impaled himself instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion quickly took the chance, forcing himself free from the coils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hopped back a few steps away, breathing slowly, letting the mana flow into his leg, healing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! This snake isn’t just heavy, but also smart. It fights better than the clowns here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then an outrageous idea struck him, returning his grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. Let’s do it the fun way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sprinted toward the beast’s tail, confusing the snake with this sudden move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion bent his knees, drew mana from every cell in his body, and channeled it into his legs, back, hips, and shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone’s shock, including the snake’s, Garion roared and lifted it from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He picked it up?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened, turning back to those cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time for a little teamwork, my little friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final twist, he hurled the snake’s big body straight into the group of cultivators who had been cursing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They screamed in pain as the snake slammed into them, crushing them under its weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake trashed in rage, but Garion didn’t wait at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had little time left before his weakness set in, so he quickly rushed forward, his eyes locked on the glowing flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short time, he reached it. He crouched low and picked the Dragon Tooth Flower before putting it into his space storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators finally realized what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t let him get away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of them surged toward him, but Garion wasn’t scared at all. Instead, he smirked, standing tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a glow appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Objective Complete: Dragon Tooth Flower Secured]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Second System Function Unlocked]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Auto-Exit: Activating...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised one middle finger with a smirk, mocking them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye, little friends. Thank you for the gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Garion was swallowed by light and vanished instantly from the realm, leaving the furious snake and countless furious cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving back at his own room, he collapsed face-first onto the bed. His body felt like it had been wrung dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing a giant snake across a crowd was indeed cool and mighty, but still, it had drained everything out of him to do that once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, he was knocked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By morning, Garion sat up, hair sticking out in every direction. He rubbed his eyes for a moment before grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally did it. Time to unlock that second function. System, show me what it is. I’m so excited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glowing screen appeared immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[First Effect: Every workout performed inside the God Gym will directly strengthen the owner.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Second Effect: Every material in the storage space can be used to create God Gym’s equipment or supplements]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked, checking if it was true. After a while, he closed his eyes briefly before bursting out laughing in triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is perfect! I can finally build my own gym equipment! Barbells, dumbbells, squat racks, anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paced the room, thinking of numerous designs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have just too many things I wanted to make, but still, the system gives me another surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at the other words at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think that I can even make my own supplements. Protein milk, pre-workout, creatine... There are just too many things I want to create. This is just the best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s laughter was so loud that it woke Dahlia up, and she marched straight into his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master! How are you already here? I didn’t even hear or see you even once after you left!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion realized that he was actually directly teleported here by the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stopped his laugh and quickly made up something to hide his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I slipped last night while you were still drooling on your pillow. Just forget about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s cheeks reddened, quickly looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t drool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only laughed hard, changing the topic instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way? How’s your cultivation process? Did you manage to turn it into a passive one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes quickly gleamed proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Master. The mana circulates on its own now. It’s slow, but it works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tapped his chin, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. You already have the foundation, and now it’s time for you to move on toward the real training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was surprised to hear that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Real training? Isn’t cultivation the training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only snorted, waving her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wish. That’s just a warm-up. A prerequisite for what’s to come later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned instantly, not knowing what these real training were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... what is the real training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin only widened as he walked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be too worried. You’ll see soon enough, and this is just training. It won’t kill you, but it will strengthen you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That last part didn’t sound comforting at all. Dahlia could only sigh as she followed him out the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a group of shady-looking men snooped around the area not that far from the God Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I heard, their last work was around here. Think they’re dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe. Plenty of cultivators roam around this area. If they crossed the wrong one, they’re probably dead now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another one scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it’s strange. They went missing months ago, but the roaming cultivators only started about a month ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first man shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t matter. Let’s look around first. At least, we need to get what they got from their robbing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","a8df958081bb3b92e553bd960bdba0b1f0ac181d44ae24d52f834e7240213815","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-255","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-254",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
