Each curl tightened his forearm into another level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, Dahlia was bent over with her hands on her knees, breathing slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stretched her hamstring, rolled her shoulders, and moved her neck in small circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was still in pain, but she kept training, letting the pain turn into focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While strengthening, she also cultivated, breathing mana in, giving it all to her bone marrow to produce mana-blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s cultivation art is to let all cells in the body absorb mana from blood, resulting in mini pools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this unique cultivation art would be even faster if paired with gym workouts, which is why Dahlia kept training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion soon grunted, setting the dumbbell down with a thud, and stretched his neck before grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked and looked at him, noticing his weird grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned to Dahlia, telling her what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They came, but I don’t know how many of them or even who the one who came was?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s body stiffened slightly. She wiped her palms on her legs and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever they are, you don’t care, right, Master? Then what should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s voice was easy, but his eyes had a hard edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep cultivating. Try to fill those mana cell pools to the brim. I’ll handle those people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was quite surprised to hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you mean, you wanted me to stay here while you fight them alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shfurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. You think I’ll let those people bully my disciple? And also, you had already had your fill earlier this day. Tonight, it will be my turn to have my fill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched him for a second, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master. Good luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia then bent over again, closed her eyes, and resumed cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood, rolled his shoulders, and picked up his robe. He tied it at his waist with a quick, simple knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he stepped out roguht the courtyard gate and into the night air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planted his feet on the dirt path, arms loose at his sides, waiting for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how you’ll taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron and the others were now going straight to the God Gym, wanting to catch Garion off guard and kill him in one simple strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they arrived, they were shocked ot see that Garion was already waiting at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well. Look who showed up. The mighty Second Realm Cultivators, all heartbroken just because my disciple smacked your kids around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled, shaking his head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lot came all the way here just for that? You’re really a bunch of wussy girls. I can’t help but worry about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them couldn’t help but frown after hearing what Garion said about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron stepped forward first, taking out his curved long sword and narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion of the so-called God Gym. You humiliated my disciples in front of thousands. Did you think there would be no price?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only chuckled, scratching the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Price? What are you talking about? They fought and lost. Simple. Are you really dumb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s jaw tightened, but before he could speak, Dario, the crooked-nose one, stepped beside him, flexing his clawed gauntlets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t that simple. What your disciple does is basically mocking all of us, and especially you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth as he pointed his clawed finger at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only, you laugh arrogantly, thinking you’re above us, but you also mocked that our disciples were weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed his clawed gauntlet once again, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tonight, we will make sure that you pay that arrogance with your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only laughed hearing that. This was indeed the same reason he had read in his past life, and he never thought he would receive one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others behind Dario frowned, seeing that not only Garion felt scared but also laughed, ignoring their threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bria, the woman who was wearing a grey robe, stepped forward, staring at Garion with her cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You make a mockery of rules and order. If God Gym spreads, many will follow your crude ways. I cannot let that happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alonzo grunted behind her as he leaned down on his axe, spitting at the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talk is cheap. Let’s stop the noise and get started. Let’s kill him now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron’s hand tightened on his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Let’s stop talking and get started. Let’s cut the root before it grows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged, folding his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the root? Cute words. You act like you’re saving the world from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then leaned in, grinning ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see if the ones who died are me or the four of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feron moved first, and red mana began to cover his curved longsword as he stared back at Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re only a First Realm cultivator. I’ll cut you down in one strike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the blade in a downward arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Severing Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword moved faster than Garion expected, forcing him to raise one hand to block the strike, injuring his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though Garion was cut, Feron wasn’t smiling at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can this be? That cut should have severed your hand, hence the name Severing Slash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly took a step back, watching the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that we really underestimated you, Garion. And fortunately, we act tonight, as you really are a great threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smiled a little before suddenly frowning as something was weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wound on his hand should have healed as all of his cells were mana pool, but now, it healed so slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression tightened as he turned back to the four elders, especially the red mana on Feron’s sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that I also have underestimated you. You’re all at least Stabilisation Stage and already able to use traits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four of them smirked as it seemed that Garion was not as strong as they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even underestimated them, meaning that they have a chance to win this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","cdc8896aa00bf229072fde5b95b517977eba35b3f307f8b5caeebf70ddc3c77e","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-55","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-53",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
