Is your idea just to directly pick one hundred without even testing them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what? Didn’t you do the same thing earlier? I’m just being more professional about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professional?\" she repeated flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. Just by looking at their bodies, I can already tell who fits our God Gym style.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia squinted at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Because from what I see, all the ones you picked have the best faces, but their bodies... well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia flipped her hand back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s just say I’ve seen better and sturdier bodies from other recruits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion could only smile a little, forcing a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The system chose them... I can’t exactly say that out loud, can I?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed the back of his neck instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can tell that once they train with us, their bodies will develop nicely. Don’t worry too much. Just trust me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust you? Last time I did that, we flew here on a fucking tree log!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, that worked, didn’t it? And besides, did you forget what you said a few months ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did I say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at her teasingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said,’If we ever get new members, make sure they’re young, handsome, or beautiful. It’ll make the view better.’Remember that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s face turned red immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I was joking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I’m just fulfilling your wish. You should thank me for my thoughtfulness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her forehead and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine. Do whatever you want. I just hope you didn’t pick wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I didn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, Garion had finished selecting exactly one hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd began to relax, assuming the process was over, until Garion suddenly walked toward the center of the remaining ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, one young man stood frozen, not knowing why Garion stopped in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at him and just smiled as he looked at the golden arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other recruits began to whisper again, wondering if this one would be chosen too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia, on the other hand, looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master? You said you’re going to choose one hundred outer disciples. Why are you choosing another?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those one hundred are indeed outer disciples. But this one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will be my new personal disciple. The same status as you, Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you serious, Master? Him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the boy again. He was around fifteen, maybe sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slim, not very tall, and honestly a little too handsome for his own good, and his eyes were full of uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks... fragile. His body’s smaller than mine. Are you sure about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Dahlia. I just feel something from him, like the spark I felt when I first met you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned but eventually sighed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. I get it, Master. Your instinct hasn’t failed us yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, satisfied, and turned back to the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy straightened up nervously, voice trembling a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-Arden, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin returned instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. From now on, Arden, you’ll be my second personal disciple. Welcome to the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s eyes widened in shock, then quickly lowered as he bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-thank you, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed at Dahlia beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s your senior sister. Make sure to greet her properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden turned and bowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked, then smiled faintly, a little proud and a little amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, aren’t you polite. You can call me Dahlia. But don’t expect me to go easy on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-yes, Senior Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed softly, watching the exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. You two will get along fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I’ve always wanted a junior to boss around... uh, I mean, train properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just don’t break him too early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No promises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward the elder, who was still watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Elder. That concludes the selection. We’ve got a hundred outer disciples... and one new personal disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder nodded approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. I’ll return and report the results. Good luck with your new recruits, Sect Master Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks. They’ll need the luck more than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked, cracking her knuckles as she turned toward the wide-eyed group of outer disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone. Welcome to the God Gym. Time to see if your pretty faces can survive real training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms and focused his mind, calling out the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Alright, system. I’ve recruited one personal disciple and a hundred outer disciples. Now, give me my reward.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar blue screen appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission: Recruit 100 new members.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Progress: 100\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward Unlocked:100 Outer Disciple Dormitory Rooms constructed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission: Recruit one new personal disciple.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Progress: 1\u002F1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward Unlocked: 1 Personal Disciple Room constructed.

No bonus or items? Not even a special protein shake?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quicklyu opened the main interface and checked the God Gym’s level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[God Gym Level: 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion quickly groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still level one?! Are you kidding me? I just recruited over a hundred people.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for a few seconds, hoping the system would respond. As usual, it stayed completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yeah, of course. Ignored again.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, rubbing his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. I guess just getting the new rooms is already something. But seriously, this lazy system...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the screen for a bit longer, sighing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I’ll have to make Dahlia reach the Second Realm if I want the God Gym to level up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he dismissed the screen and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always making me do the hard work...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe2dcfe6b08a72506dd497f8a35ae87af18100a44e47e098874bc4dd24cc7785","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-419","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-418",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
