She looked around and realized that the room was unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where... where am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then remembered her final memories. It was the moment she was running away from some bandits, and then a strange man appeared and helped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man fought and mercilessly killed the bandits. She watched, and exhaustion and fear had stacked too much, quickly making her pass out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly checked herself. Her clothes were still on. Her hands and her legs also weren’t tied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. I’m not at bandit then... but if I’m not there, then where am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could think further, the door was opened, and from it, Garion entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you have woken up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stared at him for a moment and quickly remembered that this was the one who had saved her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly jumped out of bed and bowed deeply, lowering her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sir, for saving me from those bandits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, waving her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry too much. Killing bandits isn’t so hard, and honestly, they were more like wild animals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl raised her head and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still... you save me from them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smiled and then crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. But tell me, I’m quite curious about why you, a young girl, were alone in the middle of the forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl frowned, clenching her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My family... They are killed by bandits, and I managed to run away before they got me, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I never expected that I would meet another bandit group and, seeing me as a young girl and alone, they thought I was an easy target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smile faded the moment he heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re on your own now. You don’t even have anywhere to stay now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl looked around the room nervously, knowing it didn’t look bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she quickly made up her mind, knelt down, and bowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, sir. Please let me stay here. I don’t have anywhere to go. I’ll do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his chin, thinking hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been planning to recruit disciples anyway, but he never expected that the first one he recruited to be a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, he suddenly thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute... Back in my old world, gyms always used female models for posters and ads, and it worked every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t I use the same strategy here? I can build her into a perfect, beautiful, and fit girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be a lot of men and even women who will come to register right away, wanting to become her or know her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, thinking about how perfect a plan he had made in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl blinked a few times, not knowing what Garion was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just hoped that Garion would accept and let her stay here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then finally turned to her and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. You can stay here, but on one condition. You need to become my disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s eyes widened in surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple? Sir, is this... a sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly. I call this place the God Gym, a training ground for the gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl tilted her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A... gym? For gods? What is a gym?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think of it like a sect. I just like to be a bit different, and that’s why I called it a gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl raised her brows, muttering slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sect... but with a strange name...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Names are important. There were too many sects with long names like ’Burning Sun Sect’ or ’Moon Sword Sect’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll just name mine a bit unique and also replace the word ’sect’ with ’gym’. It is also a bit different, and later you will know it. Just don’t worry too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl thought about it slowly and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Then... I will become your disciple, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned, stretching his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Then welcome to the God Gym...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl quickly bowed, telling him her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Dahlia, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, hands on his hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Welcome, Dahlia. You’re my first disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your... first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. You’re the first. This is a brand new gym after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s shoulders quickly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A... new one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at the floor, biting her lips. There were too many thoughts on her mind right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell did I just agree to? I thought it was joining a strong and old sect... but no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m actually the first disciple in a brand new sect that was called God Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means two things will happen to me sooner. Either I become famous as the sect grows or...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the first one to die when the sect becomes too famous or is attacked by another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes twitched as she pictured both outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great... really great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My head hurts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head, completely clueless about her inner panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just smiled as usual and reassured her while bringing some food he had cooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll be fine. Just eat some food and rest. You have been through a lot. Your body is still in shock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sat down slowly, her stomach growling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a bite, chewing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms and watched her eat before leaving her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion moved into another room, closing the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion kept the bandit corpses and also a messy stack old old martial arts and cultivation books he looted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I have a disciple, I can’t just train her in my old ways. This is a new world after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to make a proper routine for her, something that fits both this world and his style.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat down, picked up the first book, and flipped it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... let me see just how the people in this world cultivate with mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","f8d775754ba3d0734a533e050db3c957e432f903b2645dd04662215b0889e2e5","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-5","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-3",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
