How do you usually fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor smirked confidently. \"Simple. I use my body. Punch, kick, grab, and throw. I’ll use whatever works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded, writing something. \"So... full-body training for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor cracked his knuckles proudly. \"Finally something normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden moved to Seira. \"How about you, Junior Sister Seira?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira stood straight, arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Shivera Clan, we use ranged weapons. Bows, mostly. Precision and distance are our strengths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Makes sense. But for your physique path, you’ll still need full-body training. However, we’ll focus a bit more on your legs, back, core, and shoulders since those support bow usage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira dipped her chin slightly. \"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Arden looked at Mersha. \"And you, Junior Sister Mersha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha held her backpack in front of her, speaking shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... in my clan, we use poison. So... we don’t focus on hitting hard. We focus on speed. And getting close enough to poison the enemy as fast as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor took a half-step back. \"Close enough to poison?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira moved her chair an inch away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha blinked innocently. \"Is... something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden smiled politely to calm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So for you too, full-body training. But with extra focus on leg strength and flexibility. You’ll need explosive movement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clapped once loudly. \"So basically, no matter what you three say, it’s all full-body, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded without hesitation. \"Of course. The God Physique Path requires every part of your body to be strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia laughed. \"Alright, Arden! Time to introduce you three juniors to the God Gym’s machines!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She marched toward a massive metal structure with bars, pulleys, and weights stacked neatly at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor’s eyes sparkled. \"Whoa... what is THAT?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden chuckled. \"This is the multi-function strength rack. You can do hundreds of exercises with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor slapped the side of the machine. \"Hundreds? I like this already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed upward. \"Alright! This is the pull-up bar. We use it to train your back and arms. Watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hopped up and pulled herself effortlessly, her muscles tightening smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One... two... three...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dropped down gracefully. \"Your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor stepped forward. \"Easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the bar and pulled, but his body trembled already, barely lifting it halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira raised an eyebrow. \"You said that was easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor dropped down. \"Shut up. My body is adjusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Dahlia led them to a row of strange rotating platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha poked one carefully. \"What... does this do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden explained, \"These are balance trainers. Stand on them, and your whole body will shake. Perfect for leg, core, and joint stability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia jumped onto one. It wobbled under her, but she stayed steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? Fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor stepped up confidently and instantly wobbled like a newborn deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira covered her mouth. \"Don’t fall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor shouted, \"I know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tried stepping on hers. She wobbled, flailed, and grabbed Arden’s sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-sorry! It moved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden steadied her gently. \"It’s supposed to. Take it slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia took them next to a reclining bench with a heavy bar above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this,\" she said proudly, \"is the bench press. Chest training. Very important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor lay down immediately. \"Let me try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the bar... slowly... shaking...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I CAN DO IT...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden casually grabbed the bar with one finger. \"Don’t drop it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor groaned. \"I wasn’t going to drop it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira observed the machine carefully. \"Upper body strength training... this is logical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took her turn, lifting the bar with controlled movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded approvingly. \"Good form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tried next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lay down, grabbed the bar... and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s heavy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia patted her head. \"It’s okay. Start with no weight. Form first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Dahlia led them toward the squat rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor grinned. \"I know this one. Squats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded. \"Yes. Legs, hips, core... very important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira tightened her gloves. \"Show me the proper form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia demonstrated with perfect technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feet shoulder-width... chest up... lower slowly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor copied confidently. \"Simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor frowned. \"My knees made a sound. Was that normal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden smiled, waving him off. \"Yes. It’s just your body adjusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha lowered herself carefully. \"It feels... strange. But good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped back, hands on hips. \"See? You’re getting it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded, flipping his notebook shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Since you’ve already understood the basics of these machines... it’s time for the next part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor raised an eyebrow. \"Next part?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira adjusted her gloves. \"More training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden shook his head and reached into a nearby crate. \"No. Supplements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out three black bottles, each filled with a glowing red liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held them out calmly. \"These are for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor stared at the bottle suspiciously. \"What the hell is this? It looks like lava in a cup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira frowned, crossing her arms. \"The smell alone feels dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha leaned closer, eyes sparkling. \"It looks like poison...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor and Seira both shot her a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden smiled gently. \"Don’t worry. It’s not poison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the bottle lightly. \"This is the[Demonic Creatine]. A special workout supplement Master Garion created.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned proudly. \"Trust me. It works wonders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira frowned. \"What does it do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden explained, \"It boosts your power and mana absorption to be even better during training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor tilted his head. \"And the side effects?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden replied calmly, \"Overheating. Red glowing veins. Maybe a bit of aggression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor smirked. \"Sounds perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira sighed softly. \"Of course you’d say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden held the bottles closer. \"Just drink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three stared at the bottles like they were bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor sniffed his. \"Smells like... spicy water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira lifted her bottle slightly. \"It’s... intimidating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha smiled faintly. \"It really does look like poison...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden clapped once. \"Drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia added, \"Don’t be babies. We all drank this when we started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged nervous looks.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa7009b31b3d856c1819cdf4896e49fd155a7b3b621658f98f187620fc74b0cc","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-238","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-236",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
