What kind of tournament?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira shook her head lightly. \"It’s not really a tournament. It’s more like a monthly sparring event held across our territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, the same information appeared on the hologram screen in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And most of the participants are people who recently entered cosmic civilization,\" she continued. \"So for them, it’s a chance to look for strong backers... or advertise their businesses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard that, Garion immediately understood what she meant. A grin spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help asking, \"The backing here... is it actually good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Alira nodded. \"This event... well, what we call the Newbie Tournament is one of the biggest shows in the territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled up a ranking list similar to the entertainment broadcast’s ranking list Garion used to watch back on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? It’s always near the top whenever it airs. That alone should tell you how many viewers it gets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his chin thoughtfully. \"Now that you mention it... my gym is aimed at people without connections or background support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his grin widened. \"So basically, this tournament is one giant advertisement for me. And the more viewers, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira stared at him for a moment before reluctantly nodding. \"You could say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion suddenly burst into laughter. \"Hahaha! This universe really understands business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira could only sigh quietly in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion suddenly remembered something and turned to Alira. \"Wait a second... you know I came from an unknown lower world, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira nodded. \"Yeah. From what you told me, you got caught in a cosmic storm and ended up sleeping for five years before drifting to our cosmic station.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded back. \"That’s right. But, well... I already used God Gym back in my world. So if people hear the name of my gym...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grin slowly spread across his face. \"Some of them might recognize me and probably come looking for my place. You get what I mean, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira immediately understood. \"I see. Don’t worry about it. If that happens, just call me and I’ll handle their registration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at her for a moment before breaking into a bright smile. \"Good. Thanks, Alira.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira simply nodded once. \"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later, the ship continued drifting silently through outer space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cabin was quiet, and when Garion noticed Alira didn’t have anything else to say, he decided to relax for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard Alira groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately opened his eyes and turned toward her. \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira quickly worked the control panel as several warning screens appeared in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, she still answered calmly. \"Space pirates. A few pirate ships are blocking our route.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow in surprise. \"Pirates? So even the Cosmic Universe has pirates, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira glanced at him briefly before focusing back on the controls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. The Cosmic Universe isn’t as peaceful or civilized as you think. Outside the major territories, there are plenty of dangerous groups.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded and looked out the window. In the distance, several massive black ships were rapidly approaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of panicking, a grin slowly spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they’re blocking our way, huh?\" he muttered. \"This is actually perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira turned to him with a confused look. \"Perfect? Are you crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Garion laughed. \"I’m not crazy. I’m just excited. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to loosen up a little. They’re perfect targets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira stared at him for a moment and could tell he was completely serious. In the end, she could only sigh and shake her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, Garion. You’re my guest, and Manager Paren specifically told me to keep you safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her attention back to the pirate ships appearing on the radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll handle them. At the same time, I’ll show you what a real space battle looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned before leaning back into his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then I’ll sit back and enjoy the show, Miss Alira.\" He smirked. \"Just make it exciting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the warning screens inside the ship flickered brightly as a signal from a pirate ship appeared on her display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira’s eyes narrowed, and she quickly accepted it. She wanted to see exactly who was stupid enough to dare block her route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the connection stabilized, a rough-looking man with a massive scar stretching across his face appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, several large men wearing dark armor laughed loudly while clutching booze bottles and weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside of the pirate ship looked chaotic and filthy compared to Alira’s spotless private vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the scarred man saw Alira, his grin widened. \"Well, well... what do we have here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes slowly wandered around the luxurious interior of her ship. \"A private ship? Smooth design... high-grade materials... and only one woman inside too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said that, the pirates behind him immediately burst into loud cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them whistled sharply. \"Boss, looks like we hit a rich target this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another laughed crudely. \"Probably some spoiled young lady from a wealthy family sneaking around alone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion quietly watched from the side while resting his chin on one hand. It seemed the pirates hadn’t noticed him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he said nothing and simply continued watching. Alira had already told him this would be a show for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Alira’s expression remained completely calm as she waited for the pirate captain to continue talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen carefully, little miss. We’re the Black Fang Pirates. Hand over your valuables, your ship, and everything inside peacefully...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin slowly turned darker. \"And maybe... we’ll let you leave... if you’re entertaining enough. Hehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates behind him erupted into even louder laughter, already imagining all kinds of disgusting things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira, on the other hand, only sighed softly while wondering how to turn this into a proper show for Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T11:12:31.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","f02a744ee243ce590f92c4cbccca0dc1e5b4f3918e6694441483954fe12f18e1","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-578","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-576",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
