She ran her fingers along the wooden edge, inspecting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks small. Are you sure it won’t fall apart midair? We’re going to the dangerous Demon Gate Island, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smirked, his beard twitching as he held back a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These flying ships have carried numerous elders far stronger than you before you were even born, girl. It will surely hold unless...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless something beyond the Second Realm attacks us. But that is beyond rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled and stepped onto the ship, stretching his arms wide, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, Dahlia. The chance of something above the second realm showing up is low. Besides...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stomped on the deck of the ship, trying to show her how steady it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? It was not that weak. Even my stomp couldn’t make it creak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let out a breath and followed him up the short steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay. I hope what you said is true, Elder. If this thing breaks, I’m blaming you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man only smiled faintly and climbed aboard last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the bow, placing his wrinkled palm on one of the glowing runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lines lit up brighter, and in an instant, the ship shook once before slowly lifting itself from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grabbed the edge right away, his eyes wide as the city below grew smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa... It’s really flying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smirked, seeing Garion’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’d better get used to it, as I’m about to speed up. It’s quite far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stood near the railing, clutching it rightly with both hands before glancing at Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, don’t fall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion threw his head back and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fall? Are you kidding me? This is the best ride I’ve ever had! And make sure you’re not the one who fell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms wide as if he were flying himself, the wind whipping the robe behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re such a child, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just grinned, ignoring what Dahlia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man just chuckled at their bickering and adjusted his stance at the bow, keeping one hand to steady the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Save both of your energy. The flight to the Demon Gate Island is not short. Enjoy the view while you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned over the edge, watching the horizon stretch out before them, and just kept smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dahlia kept her grip firm but allowed herself a small smile as she was also amazed by the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another part of the world, inside a vast hall, numerous elders from various sects had gathered, sitting around a huge table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were tight. Eyes didn’t leave the centre where a thin elder spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can this be? He was just a First Realm cultivator, and four Second Realm cultivators had come for his life? How can he still be alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder pushed his cup away and leaned forward, rubbing his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know how he managed to do that, but still, the most important thing is that I lost contact with the four Second Realm Cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then set his hand on his chin, trying to speculate what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only thing I can think of is that all four of them had died, and this had really turned into bad news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder frowned, slamming down his hand on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can that be possible? Are you saying that Garion... a first realm cultivator managed to kill four second realm cultivators?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder nodded, eyes narrowing grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. That’s what I thought as Garion is indeed a bit weird. And now, thanks to him, the balance has shifted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at one another. Worry made their voices low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another elder with a broad shoulder tapped the table slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If what you said is true, then it’s indeed bad news. This isn’t about the mockery of our sects anymore, but our future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone else snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, he was going to the Demon Gate Island. You know how dangerous that place is, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then shook his head, shivering, thinking about that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That place is not only soaked with dangerous demonic mana, but the demonic beasts there were also so strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A younger-looking elder in dark blue then smiled, reassuring him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not worry about that. If we can’t survive in that place, how do you expect him to survive there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few elders whispered to each other about the possibility of Garion dying in that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, one elder leaned back, folding his arms, thinking differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But still, what if there is a slight chance that he managed to survive in that place? What will we do after that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This quickly made the other elders frown again, even though the chance was relatively small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger-looking elder then became serious as he replied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what can we do? Remember... we are told not to disturb him. So how do you plan to get around it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder only smiled as he shared his thoughts with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The decree only limits sects. It didn’t bar independent groups, such as... some assassin group or mercenaries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small, keen-eyed elder at the far end smiled thinly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. What you’re saying is right. We can just use others to eliminate him and, fortunately...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a small wooden emblem with a unique pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a contact with one of the famous assassin groups. They also owe me some favours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the elders’ eyes lit up the moment they heard what the keen-eyed elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin elder stood slowly and began to announce to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We cannot let one man change everything. Our sects didn’t rise by chance. We hold the world steady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the keen-eyed elder, ordering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell your assassin group to send their best assassin for this mission. This is a top priority target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The keen-eyed elder nodded as he began to leave to contact the assassin group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin elder then turned to the remaining elder, reminding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If any of you have contacts, either assassins or mercenaries, send them. Tell them to go and kill Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, letting the words sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first to do it will get the huge reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders nodded as they began to think which one they should contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin elder just smiled as he watched the others leave one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion... blame yourself for being too arrogant... And now the hunt had begun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c7e84d4f2def9d7a382c9515940a27bcdab1a124ef7084b85edc5afecff6d6a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-61","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-59",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
