Owner gains 10x the results]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them stacked up like a never-ending stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood with his arms crossed, watching Dahlia finish another rep, sweat dripping down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned as the system screen appeared again. His own body responded instantly as it grew stronger from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed one arm and laughed to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really insane. I’m getting stronger every single time she trains. This is even better than steroids, better than any magic potion, better than anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia dropped to her knees, panting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... I feel like I’m dying every day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crouched beside her, patting her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no. You’re living better. Look at your form. You don’t even wobble on the twelfth rep anymore. That’s progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned, rolling onto her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Progress feels like dying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled back, reminding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dying makes you stronger. Trust me. I have been there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia ignored him and tried to rest, but just as she closed her eyes, an unknown sound suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either of them could react, several shadows jumped over the wall and landed inside the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rough voice quickly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand over everything you have!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was shocked and quickly pushed herself halfway up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it. I’m too tired to even run right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion, however, only burst into laughter seeing the new guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even stand at first, just slapped his knee and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, this is perfect. I was just thinking about something to do for a perfect cooldown exercise, and now some idiots come delivering themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five intruders ignored what Garion said and quickly spread out across teh courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the leader, the one with a scar, stepped forward and sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so funny?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood slowly, stretching his arms and cracking his joints loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really want to know, huh? What’s funny is that you all climbed over that wall just to enter the tiger’s den.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big one in the back frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tiger? You? All you do is lift shiny sticks and yell at your disciple. What can you do, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youngest one also snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. You only do weird postures all day long. You don’t even cultivate. What part of you is tiger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pushed herself into a sitting position before scowling at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up. You don’t understand them at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t accept that the workouts she had painfully done these few days were being ridiculed by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t argue back, then she would feel that she was doing nothing but wasting her time, and she hated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit leader ignored her, focusing on Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand it all over. Your treasure, money, everything you have, and we’ll let you crawl away alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin only widened. He finally stepped forward toward them, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia... don’t move. Just sit and watch. Today, I’ll show you how the real members of the God Gym fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip and couldn’t help but be worried about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved his hand dismissively, turning back to the bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. These guys are just tempering stage cultivators. Nothing special. Just consider this... a live demonstration or a show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits, hearing what Garion said, muttered angrily among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old fool doesn’t know what’s coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clapped his hands together once before grinning widely, showing his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, gentlemen. Before we start, let me ask you something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? What did you want to ask before your death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smirked as he slapped his thigh once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me. Do any of you... skip leg day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits froze for a moment, glancing at each other in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is leg day? A day for leg? A day only to use the leg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dahlia groaned, covering her face with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no... he’s doing it again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion cracked his knuckles one by one and planted his feet firmly on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. It seems that all of you skip it. Because if you don’t, today will be less painful for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits shuffled their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this guy crazy? What the hell is he talking about? Does he think we’re weak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlua peeked out from between her fingers, lips curling into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll pray for you, bandits. If you did train your legs, then maybe Master will let you off lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, her smile turning slyer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you didn’t... then Master will surely force you to do leg day. His style.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia also sighed in relief, enjoying the rare chance to sit out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... at least this time I’m not the one suffering. Let’s see how these idiots handle Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at them and waved his hand casually, mocking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come. Let me see just how strong you really are, that make you dare to rob me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big man cracked his knuckles and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, let me handle him. I’ll teach him a lesson for daring to belittle us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader smirked, nodding once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and crush that stupid bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, the big man charged forward, swinging his arm wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this! Bear Punch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t move his feet as he faced the attack. He just raised one hand and caught the punch in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this it? Are you sure you’re going to kill me with just this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big man’s eyes bulged widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHAT THE HELL!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f03671465e211da2391dc4245d905370eea53c3cd725b5b1279ed146170e005","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-262","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-261",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
