Then suddenly he raised his voice. \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward a nearby rock formation. \"You can come out now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked and looked around. \"Come out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded casually. \"Yeah. No need to keep hiding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added loudly, \"Sorien is already gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly the air near the rocks twisted slightly, and dark energy gathered in one spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure slowly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure that stepped out was the exact same demon that had appeared earlier in the Draconia hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had thrown the demonic spear and later killed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon stretched his shoulders casually as if he had just finished a simple task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"You’re pretty good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms while looking at him. \"How did you manage to show up here after dying earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon laughed lightly. \"Simple, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chest with one clawed finger. \"One of my demonic skills. I can create a clone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised an eyebrow. \"A clone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon nodded proudly. \"The one that appeared in Draconia was just a body I created.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"That’s actually a useful ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer and looked at the demon more carefully. \"Velion... you’ve grown a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly while observing him. \"Honestly, I almost didn’t recognize you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon standing before them looked very different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin, which used to be pale and weak, had turned deep red. Large curved horns grew from the sides of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him were a long tail and a pair of demonic wings that folded neatly against his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked satisfied. \"When I first picked you up in the Demon World, you were barely stronger than a regular human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion grinned. \"Those were embarrassing times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped forward and crossed her arms. \"Velion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed slightly. \"Do you know how nervous I was when I saw you ’die’ in the Draconia hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion scratched the back of his head with an awkward laugh. \"Hehe... sorry, Sister Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged. \"I had to make it convincing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded slowly. \"Well... there was no blood when you died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smirked slightly. \"So I figured you probably had some trick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion nodded proudly. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still...\" Dahlia pointed toward the direction of Draconia. \"You really went all out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head slightly. \"With that stunt you pulled, you basically force Draconia to join the Black Chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion spread his hands innocently. \"But isn’t that good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised an eyebrow. \"How exactly is that good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion smiled calmly. \"Think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward the horizon. \"Before today, Draconia was still technically a Grand Faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So if we attacked them, the other factions might question us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then shrugged casually. \"But now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile widened. \"They openly joined a demonic faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"So now they’re the villains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion nodded. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He folded his arms. \"Which means if God Gym attacks them now ...everyone will say we are doing the right thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stared at him for a moment. Then she slowly began to smile. \"You’re really getting smarter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion immediately shook his head and waved his hands. \"Oh no, no... that wasn’t my plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"Then whose plan was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion straightened slightly. \"It was Elder Rachel’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked. \"Elder Rachel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion nodded. \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched the back of his head as he explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After she heard that a demonic dragon had appeared near the archipelago, she suddenly had a good idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion listened quietly while Velion continued. \"She told me to disguise myself as a demon that connected to Draconia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head slightly. \"And then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion shrugged. \"It’s just like you had seen before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured with his hand. \"I appear in front of everyone and say that Draconia worked with demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes narrowed slightly as he followed the logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion continued. \"That way Draconia would look suspicious in front of the other factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed a little. \"But to be honest... I didn’t expect them to actually join the Black Chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded slowly. \"So your plan made them look guilty... but they ended up making it real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion spread his hands. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a small laugh. \"Wow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly. \"To think Elder Rachel came up with something like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. \"I always thought she was just a gentle and innocent woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia immediately snorted. \"Innocent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia shook her head. \"Master, Elder Rachel has changed a lot this past year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion nodded quickly. \"Very true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia continued. Her expression became serious. \"She becomes terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his eyebrows. \"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked slightly. \"She even said she wouldn’t mind going to war if someone tried to hurt the disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion nodded again. \"She’s very protective of everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood there for a moment, clearly surprised. Then he suddenly laughed. \"Wow. To think she changed that much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms and smiled slightly. \"That actually makes her much more interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head. \"You sound like you’re enjoying this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"A little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked toward the direction of the archipelago. \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands once. \"Let’s head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia straightened immediately and looked at him. \"Back to God Island or Muscle God Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved his hand casually. \"Of course to Muscle God Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced toward the direction of the archipelago. \"I want to see what changed in God Gym first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion folded his wings slightly and nodded. \"Good idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked. \"You’ll probably be surprised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"I hope so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer to the edge of the ridge and stretched his shoulders once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" he said. \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grabbed both Dahlia and Velion by their shoulders. A moment later, gravity energy gathered beneath their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them shot into the sky as Garion used his gravity power to pull them forward toward the distant islands.\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","e60bfb2fcb9ebf29e618e7938aa8e54a599b62777d06ca8ca9581787eb5fc39f","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-84","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-83",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
