How can something like this even exist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it is. You can consider it to be a special training facility designed to bring out the best out of people training here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They slowly walked down the main hallway, their footsteps echoing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their left was a glass room filled with strange equipment. There were metal racks, benches, and heavy bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel tilted his head. \"Are those weapons? Or... training tools?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, those are weights. They are tools used for strengthening your body. You lift them to train your muscles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric stared blankly. \"Lift them? On purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Exactly. The heavier, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel gave a half-smile. \"You’re telling me people come here and pay to suffer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"That’s right. Pain brings growth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked further, passing through another glass wall revealing a bright, steamy room filled with stone benches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric pointed. \"And what’s this one? The plank was written as ’sauna’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded again. \"That’s for recovery. It helps the body relax after intense training. Heat loosens the muscles and makes healing faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel crossed his arms. \"Hmm. I see. So you make them sweat twice. Once during training and once afterward. Smart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Exactly. Efficient use of effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned the corner and found another area filled with wooden partitions, a small indoor pool with mist rising, and crystal tubes on the wall releasing cold vapor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stepped closer. \"And this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked back. \"That’s the recovery zone, the ice baths. It cools down the body and balances internal energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric looked overwhelmed. \"You really built all this... from that small glowing core?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded casually. \"Yeah. Everything’s included. Locker rooms, spas, showers, even a small bar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"A bar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly. \"A healthy bar with protein shakes and energy food. You won’t find alcohol here, Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed dramatically. \"A bar without wine? What a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"You’ll change your mind once you try my special shake, the[Demonic Protein Shake].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised an eyebrow. \"That name doesn’t sound like something safe to drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s safe,\" Garion said. \"Mostly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric, still looking around, couldn’t stop himself from muttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This looks less like a sect and more like a divine temple for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"That’s the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The God Gym is meant to make people feel like they’ve stepped into another world, a place where effort turns into power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel looked around once more, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t deny it... This place feels incredible. It’s nothing like the cultivation halls we have back in our clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, satisfied. \"It’s not about wealth or decoration. It’s about function.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every space here exists for a reason. It’s to make the body and mana stronger together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded slowly, clearly impressed. \"I can see that. Everything feels... precise. Nothing wasted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly. \"Exactly. Now come on. Let’s actually use it. I’ll show you how this place works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s grin widened. \"You mean I get to train here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Of course. It’s a gym, not a museum. Let’s start with something simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led them across the bright training hall toward a metal rack with thick steel bars and stacked weights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric followed behind cautiously, glancing at every strange piece of equipment like it might bite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this one called?\" Raviel asked, studying the barbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion patted the steel bar. \"This is for squats. It strengthens your legs, core, and overall balance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For cultivators like us, it helps the body handle mana circulation better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric frowned slightly. \"So you just... stand up and sit down with that thing on your back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Pretty much, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then grabbed a few plates and began loading them onto the bar until the total weight reached around 400 kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s eyebrows rose. \"That’s quite a lot of weight, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, stepping under the bar and setting it across his shoulders. \"It’s not as bad as it looks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered himself down slowly, his knees bending perfectly. His breath stayed steady, his back straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with one smooth motion, he pushed himself back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric and Raviel both watched quietly as Garion did another rep and another, moving with controlled precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Garion was a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh... this doesn’t feel that heavy anymore. My body feels lighter and stronger since the awakening. Maybe this is the effect of the[Graviton Physique].’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After twelve solid repetitions, he stood tall and carefully re-racked the barbell. His breathing was calm, barely strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"That’s it? Up and down? It looks so simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"It is simple, but it works. Every movement targets a specific muscle. The goal is control and effort, not show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric crossed his arms. \"So this is what you made your disciples do day after day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Exactly. Over and over again. You’d be surprised how much progress comes from repetition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel gave a small laugh. \"No wonder your disciples’ bodies looked so... different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"That’s the essence of a gym. We forge strength the hard way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stretched his arms. \"Alright then, let me try. Can’t let a guest show off without joining in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric’s eyes widened. \"Patriarch, are you sure? You’re not him. This looks... dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel waved his hand dismissively. \"Nonsense. It’s just lifting. How hard could it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, then began removing a few plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel frowned. \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking off some weight,\" Garion said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might be a Third Realm cultivator, but this isn’t the same kind of strength. It’s physical weight, not mana weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel scoffed. \"Please, you don’t need to worry. I can handle it. I’m not that fragile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion paused for a moment, then shrugged. \"Alright then. Your call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put the plates back on and stepped to the side, standing behind Raviel as a spotter, ready to help if things went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stepped under the bar, adjusting his grip confidently. \"So I just bend my knees and stand back up, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Keep your back straight and control your breathing. Don’t rush it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded as he began to start his first barbell squat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1111,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","db20661b2e469c88e2e96f7bd3e854c578217057f262d8cd642de1074b7e3203","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-451","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-350",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
