Then, with a powerful yell, he lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement was smoother than Rynar’s but still trembling under the weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion cheered him from the side. \"Up! Good! Now hold! Drop it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor slammed the bar down, his arms shaking uncontrollably. \"I did it... Master, please don’t ask for a second rep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Relax, I’m not a monster. One perfect rep is all we need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins both lay flat on the ground again, groaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stared at the barbell, then at Garion. \"Don’t even think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"What? You don’t even know how much yours is yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked from the side. \"Let me guess... more than five hundred?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion winked. \"Of course. Dahlia’s the strongest, remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened. \"Master, no! Don’t you dare...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion was already adding plates. The metal clanged again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six hundred kilograms. Let’s see if my first disciple can lift this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia buried her face in her hands. \"I hate this gym...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar and Rynor both raised their fists weakly from the floor. \"We believe in you, senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel leaned toward Rendric and whispered. \"She’s actually going to do it, isn’t she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded, eyes wide. \"I... think she might.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, stepping aside. \"Alright, Dahlia. Show them why you’re number one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia took a deep breath, rolled her shoulders, and stepped to the bar. \"Fine. But if I can’t walk tomorrow, it’s your fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped the bar, tightened her stance, and let out a deep breath. Then... she lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire bar rose from the floor, shaking violently, but she kept her form solid until she stood fully upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the gym froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she dropped the bar with a loud thud and shouted. \"Done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned widely. \"Perfect. That’s all three of the Big Three completed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins cheered weakly. Raviel clapped. Even Rendric looked impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded proudly. \"Good job, all of you. You’ve earned a rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia fell to her knees, exhausted. \"A rest? Master, we’ve earned a week off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Fine. Half a day then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples groaned in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward Raviel and the elders, who were all still sitting stiffly on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you all understand, right? You’ve seen how powerful my disciples are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then tapped his temple, indicating that he was calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, logically, you should be able to handle something at least one-tenth of what they just did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders stiffened. Raviel tilted his head. \"One-tenth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Exactly. Look at the twins. A year ago, they were the weakest members of your clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People laughed at them. But now? Even your elders can’t keep up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders exchanged looks, clearly irritated. One of them clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s unfair, Sect Leader Garion. If we were fighting with mana, it would be a different story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"Mana battle, huh? That’s your excuse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin then widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been cultivating for decades, and they’ve trained for just a single year and still surpassed you in strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room grew quiet. The elders looked down, avoiding his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric coughed softly, breaking the silence. \"It’s... hard to argue with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued, his tone calm but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a year of training could turn those two into warriors strong enough to humble elders like you, what does that say? You’ve been too comfortable for too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words hit harder than any punch. Several elders frowned deeply, and a few clenched their jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stayed quiet, watching his disciples and elders with a conflicted expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shifted toward the twins, still sprawled on the floor but grinning proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a quiet sigh. \"A year... only a year...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin, frowning slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trained for decades to reach my realm, but those two... they’ve grown this much just through physical training. It’s absurd.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded slowly. \"Perhaps that’s why his path is so strange and terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed weakly, his voice filled with disbelief. \"To think I used to call myself a genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the twins again. \"Compared to them, I feel like I’ve wasted half my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent for a moment. Even the twins didn’t dare joke this time. Dahlia and the others just looked at each other quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched the back of his head, realizing how heavy the air had gotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it!I crushed them too much.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and clapped his hands lightly. \"Alright, alright. Don’t overthink it. This isn’t about who’s better or worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about improvement. If my disciples can do it in a year, imagine how far all of you could go if you trained properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel looked up, a small smirk forming. \"So, what you’re saying is... even old men like us can still change?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Exactly. It’s never too late to get stronger. Just don’t expect me to go easy on you when you start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed, the heaviness lifting a little. \"You sound like you’re trying to recruit me into your sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"If you ever get tired of being Patriarch, I’ll gladly make room for you at the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric chuckled under his breath. \"Oh no, that’s all we need, two maniacs in one place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward Raviel, smiling confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Patriarch Raviel, what do you think? Will you take my special training course?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed, still wiping sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. After seeing all this, how could I refuse? I’ll take your special course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned wider. \"Good. Then let’s move to the private training room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Wait, there’s a private training room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded proudly. \"Of course. Every real gym has a VIP section.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel chuckled. \"VIP? That sounds suspiciously like something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, think of it like a brothel with different room quality. You’ve got the common rooms, then the elite ones for the special guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel laughed, shaking his head. \"I see. If that’s the case, then I’ll gladly take the elite room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Of course you will. Right this way, Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","09c0545e21b9a76f9ef4a54b7c01aea9f244012aafa1a5a8d5b2f3069c9addc0","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-464","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-463",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
