We’re next, aren’t we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden crossed his arms, looking calm but uneasy. \"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those three are always the troublemakers. We’re the disciplined ones... supposedly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza nodded in quiet agreement. \"True. But still...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned toward Clara with a raised eyebrow. \"For you, Clara, I wouldn’t be too sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara blinked, pointing at herself. \"What? Why me? I’ve been behaving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden gave her a flat look. \"You tried to race the twins during warm-ups.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara frowned. \"That was training motivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza sighed softly. \"You yelled, ’Last one to finish owes me dinner,’ and nearly tripped three people in the process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara scratched her cheek awkwardly. \"...Okay, maybe that was a little too much enthusiasm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden looked toward Garion, who was still lecturing the elders. \"Just stay quiet. Maybe he’ll forget about us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara grinned mischievously. \"Forget about us? Master? Never.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza gave her a side glance. \"Don’t jinx it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion already knew they were there. He heard every whisper and chuckle, yet ignored them for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden wasn’t wrong. The real culprits for yesterday were clearly Dahlia and the twins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned back toward the main squat rack and clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Time for the second of the Big Three... the squats!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins froze immediately. Dahlia tilted her head with a skeptical frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion started loading plates onto the bar, one after another, until the total hit 400 kilograms. \"Rynar, you’re first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar’s jaw dropped. \"What?! Four hundred?! Master, are you trying to kill me? Earlier it was three hundred!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Come on, it’s just a squat. If it doesn’t crush you, it’ll make you stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar groaned, rubbing his neck. \"Yeah, and if it does crush me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Then I’ll rebuild you stronger. Now get under it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar muttered something under his breath but stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got under the bar, adjusted his footing, and took a deep breath. \"Alright... let’s do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crouched beside him. \"Good stance. Keep your chest up and your back straight. Now go down... slowly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal creaked under the weight as Rynar bent his knees, his face twisting from the effort. \"Ghhhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s voice cut through his grunts. \"Don’t stop! Lower! Now up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar roared and pushed upward, shaking but managing to lock out his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded with a grin. \"Good. One perfect rep. That’s enough for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar stumbled forward and immediately collapsed onto the floor, breathing hard. \"Never again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"You said that last time too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Rynor. \"Your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor frowned, glaring at the weights. \"Master, are you sure you didn’t miscount the plates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor sighed and took position. His form was smoother, but the strain still showed across his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grunted, pushed through, and somehow finished his rep before falling backward beside his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh... everything hurts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Good. That means it’s working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned toward Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face darkened. \"Don’t even think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked and began adding more plates. \"Of course not. Yours will be 450.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eye twitched. \"Four hundred and... Master, that’s fifty more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"You’re the strongest of my disciples, aren’t you? You said it yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins started laughing weakly from the floor. \"Yeah, senior sister! Show us who’s boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia shot them both a death glare before stepping forward. \"Fine. But if I break my legs... I’ll break yours later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned, stepping back. \"That’s the spirit. Now show the Revalis Clan what real strength looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took her stance, breathing in deep. The bar shook as she squatted, her arms trembling but refusing to give in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shouted at her, cheering. \"Down...! Now up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let out a sharp yell and pushed with all her strength, the barbell rising slowly before locking at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dropped it back into the rack and fell to her knees, panting hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled proudly. \"Perfect. You’ve all completed your second of the Big Three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar lay flat on the ground, gasping for air. \"Master... I think my soul left my body halfway down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor groaned beside him. \"Mine left before we even started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sat nearby, still catching her breath, her hair sticking to her sweaty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... please tell me that’s all for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, shaking his head. \"Of course not. We still have one more left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins froze. Dahlia stared at him in disbelief. \"You’re kidding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Do I look like I’m joking? Now... it’s time for the third of the Big Three... the deadlift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar raised a weak hand. \"Master, can’t we just... imagine lifting it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"No imagination training in my gym. We lift for real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and began loading the plates onto the barbell until the total weight reached five hundred kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor sat up slowly, his eyes wide. \"Master... that’s five hundred. As in five hundred kilograms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Correct. You’re both using your legs and backs this time, so it should balance out nicely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar stood up and frowned. \"Should balance out? Master, this isn’t a math problem. It’s a murder attempt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Come on, where’s that fighting spirit? You both faced six people in the arena and won, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins exchanged looks. \"Yeah, but we didn’t lift six people at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel, who was watching from the side with Rendric, burst out laughing. \"This is more entertaining than a tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed toward the barbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rynar, you’re first. Remember the form I taught you. Keep your back straight and chest up, then pull with your legs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar walked over like he was heading to his execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squatted, gripped the bar, and gritted his teeth. \"Alright... I’ll give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Good. Now lift!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar roared and pulled with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bar slowly rose from the floor, shaking slightly as his veins bulged. \"Ghhhhaaah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shouted encouragement. \"Don’t stop! Lock your knees! There! Hold it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar managed to stand tall for a moment before slamming the bar back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly collapsed to the ground, coughing out air and muttering weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five hundred kilos... done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor gave him a thumbs-up from the floor. \"Good job, bro. You look half-dead, but you did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar glanced at him for a while and just smiled a little before cheering Rynor too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor frowned as he knew that he was next.\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","dee1d6f47f7e424f85ee7e4e44dc45c9edba8b75cf03d344ac689509205f36ba","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-463","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-462",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
