Every session was harsher than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let’s increase the weight to eight kilos. Now, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped under the barbell, and Garion stood behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She inhaled, bent her knees, and pushed back with trembling legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One rep. Don’t stop until twelve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the seventh, her face was red, sweat dripping down her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost collapsed, but Garion placed two fingers lightly on the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Form first, then control it and fix your breathing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth and finished all twelve. WHen she racked teh bar and starggered back, Garion clapped hsi hadns\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Better than yesterday. Now down to the floor. Let’s do push-ups!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlua groaned but obeyed. Her arms shook as she lowered her chest to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crouched down and corrected her, pressing his finger against her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your back straight! Don’t let your hips sag! And... Push!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forced herself up, gasping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded and casually added more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was shocked. \"Thirty?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to win the tournament, right? Then thirty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned, but could only do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After push-ups came sit-ups. Dahlia clutched her core, groaning as Garion held her ankles down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Dahlia. Every rep strengthens your center. You need a strong core to have strong balance to become strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped her lightly on the stomach when she fell back with a wheeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more set. Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was overhead presses with dumbbells. Dahlia staggered as she lifted them over her head, arms trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lock your elbows at the top! Don’t wobble around!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion quickly corrected her posture by nudging her shoulder back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came bicep curls, her arms burning as she pulled the weights up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t swing them! Use your arms, not your whole body. Control it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grabbed her elbows and locked them at her sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she nearly dropped one dumbbell, he caught it midair and tossed it back to her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No excuses. Finish the set.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tricep overheads came next. Dahlia nearly screamed as she raised the bar behind her head, arms shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good pain! That’s the feeling of growth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally came the deadlines. Garion loaded the bar with more plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strong back, strong foundation. Grip it tight, chest out. Pull!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia struggled to lift it, veins popping at her temples. Her legs shook, but she managed to raise them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, pleased. \"Good. Do it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she collapsed afterward, panting, he ordered the last set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bench press. Lay down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia groaned but obeyed. He placed the barbell in her hands and guided it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t let it crush you. Push through your chest, not your arms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hovered his hands above her bar, ready to catch, in case her grip loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Like that. Keep it up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By night’s fall, Dahlia was drenched in sweat, her whole body shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rolled onto the floor and spread her arms out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... I think I’m dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crouched beside her, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you’re very much alive and stronger than yesterday. And also with your passive mana cultivation, your recovery is faster, that means...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She graoend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means tomorrow you’ll torture me again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Dahlia laid on the floor, catching her breath, Garion’s system chimed in again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Disciple Dahlia completed one perfect squat.

Perfect\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at Dahlia, who was already half asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest well... Tomorrow, we train again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was now training alone in his courtyard at night since the daytime was spent training Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, catching his breath, he wiped his forehead and called up the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Training is good, but I also need supplements. Training and nutrition go hand in hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tournament is also this Sunday. If I don’t push her recovery, Dahlia will collapse before we even get there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last treasure realm, Garion had filled his storage space with numerous strange herbs, all of which he didn’t even know what they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system chimed in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Feature Unlocked: God Gym’s Divine Supplement Creation]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Supplements?
