Don’t rush it. Just lift it slowly first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked, gripping the bar tightly. \"Relax, I’m not some beginner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he tried to lift the bar off the rack, his face instantly changed. His arms trembled. The bar didn’t even budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Raviel gritted his teeth, pouring more mana into his arms. \"Move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried again, straining hard, but the bar remained still. Not even a twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned slightly. \"Seems like it’s still too heavy for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel growled between breaths. \"No, I can... lift this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave it one more push and finally managed to raise it a few inches... only for his legs to shake violently a second later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His knees buckled, and the bar dropped fast... but before it could hit him, Garion stepped forward and caught it with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal bar stopped instantly in mid-air, Garion holding it steady before calmly racking it back into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel straightened his posture, forcing a cough to hide his embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My... my foot slipped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion could only sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch Raviel, in the gym, pride is your enemy. You have to lift what your body can handle, not what your ego wants to prove.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel rubbed his shoulder with a small grin. \"Right, right. Guess I got ahead of myself. At least my recovery’s fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric stood there speechless, staring at Garion’s hand. \"Wait a moment... how heavy was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned to him. \"That was four hundred kilograms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric blinked, looking between them. \"Four... hundred? You caught that thing barehanded?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged lightly. \"What, you expected me to let it crush your Patriarch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed weakly. \"Heh... Fair enough. You’re full of surprises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how can you lift it so easily while Patriarch can’t even move it an inch? He’s a goddamn third realm cultivator!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I focus on body cultivation. Every bit of strength comes from my own muscles and the mana within them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded slowly, still trying to process it. \"Body cultivators really are on another level...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stepped forward, removing a few plates from each side of the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s start lighter... maybe a quarter of that. About a hundred kilos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric’s eyes widened. \"A hundred? You’re calling that light?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Trust me, for a cultivator like Patriarch Raviel, this should be perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel squinted at the smaller setup. \"So you’re saying this time I can actually lift it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"You’ll manage. And remember... this number here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the small markings on the side of the plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shows how heavy each one is. Always check that before loading the bar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Wait... so that’s what those tiny marks mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smacked his forehead lightly. \"I keep forgetting that this world doesn’t exactly use numbers for weights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric crossed his arms, muttering. \"No wonder Patriarch almost crushed himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel glared at him. \"You’re enjoying this too much, Rendric.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Alright, Patriarch, your turn again. A hundred kilos this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Focus on your stance, spread your legs apart, and keep your back straight. No mana. Just your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel took his position again, gripping the bar tightly. This time, the bar rose off the rack with a low grunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms trembled a little, but he managed to step back and hold it steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\" Garion said loudly, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it! Keep your chest up. Now squat down slowly, not too low!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s face tightened as he lowered himself halfway, then pushed back up with a shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bar wobbled slightly, but he held it until Garion helped guide it back onto the rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal clanging back in place echoed, followed by Garion’s approving grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? That’s what I’m talking about. It is steady, and there will be no injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel panted, wiping sweat from his forehead. \"Hah... that’s... harder than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Told you. Strength isn’t about power bursts. It’s about control and endurance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked. \"So this is how you trained those monsters of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Exactly. The same way I train everyone. Step by step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded, clearly impressed. \"I’ll admit, it’s... oddly fascinating. Maybe I should try one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned at him. \"You? Sure, Elder Rendric. I’ll even give you a beginner’s routine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric immediately shook his head. \"I’ll... pass for now. Maybe after I’ve eaten more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed loudly. \"Scared already, Rendric?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric muttered. \"I’m not scared... I’m cautious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled at both of them, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, consider this the first lesson of the God Gym: ’Never underestimate simple things.’ They’ll break you before you even notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel wiped his arms again, nodding with a tired smile. \"Heh... lesson learned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Good. Then tomorrow, we’ll test your endurance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Endurance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened. \"Oh yes. Today was only the warm-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned. \"I’m already regretting this partnership.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Too late. You’re already a member of the God Gym now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed, shaking his head. \"Next time, I’m bringing the elders with me. If I suffer, they’re suffering too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion patted his shoulder. \"That’s the spirit, Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric groaned quietly to himself. \"I have a bad feeling about tomorrow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back in the main hall of the Revalis Clan, the elders were still gathered around the long tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the food was already gone, and in the middle of it all, Garion’s disciples were still eating like beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia, Rynar, Rynor, and the others laughed loudly, competing over who could eat the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel just smiled helplessly beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders, however, frowned deeply, whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just look at them... such manners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncivilized brutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they complained, a sudden pressure filled the air, making their bodies shake uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t know why, but they felt that a bad thing was going to happen for them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","bbcf1a054150f63e645c2d5122d8c553f18dceafe0518b110df53fa019586967","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-452","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-451",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
