Merchants were shouting near the docks. Groups of cultivators were sparring in open fields while others lined up outside large training halls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched the side of his head slowly. \"...Wow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around again, clearly surprised. \"It’s so crowded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes scanned the busy island streets. \"I never thought it could get this crowded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia folded her arms and smirked proudly. \"Of course, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gestured toward the training fields where dozens of cultivators were running with heavy weights tied to their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past year, God Gym has shown its strength again and again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched as one group of new recruits struggled through a training drill while older disciples shouted instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia continued. \"Many people saw how strong our disciples became.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grinned. \"And they also saw that your training methods work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly. \"So now everyone wants in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed toward a long line of people standing outside a training hall. \"Exactly. Some of them traveled from very far away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched as a group of newcomers tried to lift massive stone weights while several senior disciples observed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you really made them stronger in just one year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded confidently. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Well... that’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia then shrugged slightly. \"But there’s also a small problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced at her. \"A problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded. \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around at the people on the island. \"Many outsiders find our growth... suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"Suspicious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked again. \"Some people started calling us demonic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked once. \"Demonic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded. \"They say it’s impossible to grow that strong so quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made air quotes with her fingers. \"So they call us... ’heretic trainers.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion repeated the words slowly. \"Heretic trainers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly he laughed. \"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned immediately. \"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion wiped the corner of his eye as he kept laughing. \"That’s actually a pretty good name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stared at him. \"You’re not supposed to like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head, still smiling. \"Come on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the busy training fields. \"Look at them. If this is what a ’heretic trainer’ does...then it sounds pretty cool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed and rubbed her forehead. \"Please don’t encourage them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled one more time before calming down. \"Alright, alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his arms slightly. \"Let’s go meet Rachel first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, she should still be in the main office building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Velion had already stepped a few paces away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body slowly faded from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic energy around him twisted slightly as he activated one of his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few seconds... He became completely invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced toward the spot where Velion had disappeared. \"Still hiding, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion’s voice quietly answered from empty air. \"Well... I am still a demon. If people see me walking around openly, it might cause panic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded. \"Good point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Fair enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he began walking toward the main training complex of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer they got to the main training grounds, the louder the place became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slowed his steps slightly as he looked around. \"...This place really changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked proudly. \"Of course it did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed toward one training field where several recruits were running while carrying metal chains tied around their waists. \"Training never stops here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled quietly. \"I can see that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two of them stepped into the main training yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Garion saw someone familiar standing near the center of the field: Rachel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was watching a group of disciples practicing body conditioning drills while giving calm instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your breathing steady,\" she said gently. \"Don’t rush the movement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple stumbled while lifting a large weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel immediately stepped closer and corrected his posture. \"Your back is bending. Straighten it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Elder Rachel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples quickly adjusted their stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded with a warm smile. \"That’s better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly she looked up and froze. \"...Garion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a hand casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say anything else... Rachel suddenly ran toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked in surprise as Rachel wrapped her arms around him tightly. \"Garion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried clear relief. \"What have you been doing this whole year?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood there awkwardly while being hugged. \"...Uh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Dahlia watched the scene with a small smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nearby disciples had completely stopped training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at the scene with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is Elder Rachel hugging him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he some important guest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slowly raised his hands slightly. \"Rachel...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked up at him. \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion coughed lightly. \"...I think this might not be the best place for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she noticed the dozens of disciples staring at them. \"...Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately stepped back. \"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia chuckled quietly from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel cleared her throat and tried to regain her calm composure. \"Let’s go to my office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Good idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them began walking toward the office building while the disciples whispered excitedly behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve never seen Elder Rachel act like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he one of the founders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia simply smirked as they walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they entered Rachel’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel closed the door behind them and turned toward Garion again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was still a mix of relief and curiosity. \"How are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed her arms. \"Is your work at Demon Gate Island finished?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded calmly. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel relaxed slightly. \"That’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned casually against the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I didn’t expect you to start playing politics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel raised an eyebrow. \"Politics?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"To think you used Velion to make Draconia look like the bad guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked in surprise. \"You know about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Of course I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f66c521b2f39876b17faab2a01e67672effd19a2b7e1bdcb011a14eb87708e2","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-86","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-85",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
