Her body had been transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arms were firm, her shoulders sharp, and even faint lines of abs traced her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion circles her slowly, nodding in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. A few days ago, you would’ve collapsed after ten squats. But now... You look like you could destroy Boulder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Master. You didn’t even let me sleep properly without training drills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. At least you’re not whining anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few days, he had also taught her simple but effective moves to finish the fight fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then stopped in front of her, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Dahlia. Are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her fists and nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Master. I’m ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s lips curled into a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Then I have something for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A... gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You will represent God Gym now. You can’t just walk in dressed like a beggar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lit up, sparkling with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A uniform?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, seeing her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took out a folded set of black and gray clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Dahlia saw it, she practically snatched it with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly, show me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion unfolded the outfit, revealing a sleek and simple combat suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: God Gym Simple Combat Suit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A standard combat set consisting of a sleeveless top, long trousers, fingerless gloves, and lightweight shoes. Built for flexibility, durability, and ease of movement during training or battle.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: Improves mobility and comfort in combat. Provides basic protection without limiting speed or flexibility.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia took and held the sleeveless top up to her chest and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Master. Isn’t this too... revealing? My stomach and arms will be fully exposed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, crossing his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not revealing. It’s a practical combat suit that lets you move freely. No loose sleeves, nor heavy cloth. Just flexibility and speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at her toned stomach and flexed arms, embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still... It feels... strange to show this much skin in front of people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange? That’s pride. You worked hard for those muscles. Why hide them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This uniform isn’t just for fighting, but to showcase your strength and body. When people see you, they’ll know immediately just how good you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia, but her lip, looking at her body again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t deny it. Her body indeed looked stronger and better, far from the frail little girl she had been months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Then wear a robe over it until the fight starts. Once you’re on stage, just take it off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relieved, Dahlia sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then wore the suit, and to her surprise, it was indeed easy to move in and didn’t feel heavy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could twist her arms, stretch her legs, and even throw a quick punch more easily than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s lighter and also quite flexible, letting me move more easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See... You’ll thank me later when you win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still embarrassed, she threw a robe over herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better. At least people won’t stare too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. Once you’re on stage, all eyes will be on you anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pouted, tightening the robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... That doesn’t help, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clapped his hands, ending the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talk. It’s time. The tournament won’t wait for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia inhaled deeply, steadying her nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion, on the other hand, just smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go. Time to show this world what the God Gym can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia followed, her steps firm despite the nerves swirling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, she wasn’t just a disciple but a representative of God Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion and Dahlia arrived at the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets outside were packed with people, merchants selling snacks, and banners waving with great sects’ names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tugged her robe tighter around herself, staring up at the huge gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many people... Master, are they here for the tournament?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned, hands on his hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. A once-in-ten-years event draws every eye. This is the perfect stage for the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s heart beat faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of hundreds, or maybe thousands of people watching her fight made her shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance, an officer stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Name and affiliation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia handed him the parchment slip, and when the officer unrolled it, his brows twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia, age fourteen... Affiliation: God Gym?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a bit surprised, never having heard it, but still he stamped it and returned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirmed. Competitor, please enter the waiting room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia bowed politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer then turned to Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"Her Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer quickly blocked him, explaining the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only competitors may enter the waiting area. Master and family must stay in the stands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may sit in the commoner section. If your disciple advances to later stages, you’ll be moved to higher seats reserved for important people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a brow, amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Common seats, huh? Fine. I don’t mind. A seat is a seat, and I’ll still see her smash the competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer gave him a strange look but didn’t comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dahlia entered the waiting room, she glanced back nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... you’re not coming with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion flexed his bicep with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. Just remember what I taught you. You’ll smash them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s lips twitched, and she couldn’t help but laugh softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, waving her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now, go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded as she entered the corridor toward the waiting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched her disappear into the waiting room before turning toward the spectator entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with commoners and also other masters like him, whose disciples were going to compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them recognised him, and that suited him just fine. He just smirked to himself, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t matter where I sit. As long as she wins, everyone will learn the name of God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","9dcff264cc18ef211b69392c947378658dc3714ab62e9e70fb9a7b886dfcc2b2","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-270","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-269",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
