She ran forward and stood before Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... I did it. I won this tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion placed his hand on her head and ruffled her hair lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. As expected from my first disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia puffed her cheeks slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to mess up my hair...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Garion could laugh again, the gray-robed elder coughed, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, now. Congratulations on your victory, Miss Dahlia. As the champion of this tournament, it’s time for me to reward you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena went silent again, and Dahlia’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A prize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder nodded, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. There are three types of rewards you may choose from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, materials and resources. Tell me what kind of resources you want, and I will give them as long as I have them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second finger lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, cultivation arts. Battle techniques, cultivation manuals, etc, that you wanted based on your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder also leaned in, reminding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And also, whether you chose the cultivation arts or resources, all of them would be at least second realm quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped in envy at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second realm treasures were things most of them couldn’t even dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head. \"And the third?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder smiled slightly as he raised his third finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third is simple, a request. Whatever you ask, as long as it is within my power, I will fulfill it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked, her mouth parting slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder nodded calmly. \"Anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her chin, thinking. Then her eyes turned toward Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, what should I choose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged casually, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up to me? But I won this for you, didn’t I? Shouldn’t you pick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. I don’t need it. Just choose what you think will make our God Gym better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia crossed her arms, still frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s unfair. You’re just making me do the hard part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned down a little, his grin widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s called training, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was shocked, hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Training?! Even now?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder hid a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well? Have you decided, Champion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tapped her foot against the broken stone floor, her brow furrowed deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Materials could help them build more equipment. Techniques could give her and Garion new ways to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a request... that was wide open, and she may have thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced once more at Garion, who only gave her a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you pick, make it heavy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn’t even mean anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just laughed, while the crowd leaned forward, waiting to hear her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pressed her lips together, still unsure. Her master’s word echoed in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is training too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought back on everything that had led to this moment. Her master’s crazy workouts. The lonely mountain hall they had been using as their base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dream was to spread God Gym across the world, gathering disciples so she wouldn’t be the only one suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it. That’s what Master and I want. That’s what I should ask for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned toward the gray-robed elder, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take the third option.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. And what is your request, Champion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised her chin proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want a huge place for us to build a new God Gym. And I want a promise from you that no sect will disturb us for at least a decade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of treasures or arts, she asked for land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is she crazy?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked, his grin faltered for the first time before laughing hard, slapping his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good girl! That’s... that’s actually a damn good plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted inwardly it was even better than he had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current gym wasn’t even the size of a proper middle sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Dahlia’s request, they could truly plant their roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder chuckled, stroking his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wise request. I can do that. I promise, no sect will disrupt your God Gym for at least ten years, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which place do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned, her mind racing. Garion’s smile tightened too as he thought of another problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mountain hall was already mark as the God Gym... could it even be moved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think about anything, a glowing screen suddenly appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New Mission Unlocked!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Relocate God Gym to a New Site]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Recruit at least 100 new members]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Recommended Location: Demon Gate Island]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Hidden Function Unlocked]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion froze, seeing the new mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relocate? A hundred new members? And what’s with this Demon Gate Island? Sounds like a horror movie set...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then sighed, rubbing his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that this mission just dropped, thanks to Dahlia’s request. It seems that I need to think more about what I do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then stepped forward, placing his hand on Dahlia’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia, let me take it over now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, stepping back, letting him take care of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then faced the gray-robed elder, his grin returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the place, I indeed have one place in mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Which one? As long as it isn’t claimed, I can give it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened, his voice loud enough for the entire arena to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Gate Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena erupted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did he say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Gate Island?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he insane?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the elders who had sat calmly until now jerked forward in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder’s smirk finally slipped, his eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion... do you even understand what you’re asking for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smirked, staring back at the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","7310a935c547e14f0a1136270e0687017e2829626626e13729361e9d8707219b","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-52","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-150",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
