Everyone, listen up! Now that your bodies are warmed up from the Demonic Creatine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smirk appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll move directly to the main exercises now. No need to take warm-ups anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few groaned quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t even start. You should be thanking me for not wasting your time today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples exchanged doubtful looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday, I taught you squats,\" Dahlia continued, stretching her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s for your legs. But today, we’re working your whole upper body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then walked to the dumbbell rack and picked up an 80kg dumbbell with one hand, shocking the disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll show you the first one. This one is called Bicep Curl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlua began to curl the weight upward slowly until it touched her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This strengthens your biceps, basically the muscles in your upper arms. It’s what makes your punches faster and stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered it slowly and repeated the movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t swing your arms or cheat with momentum. Control the weight, feel the muscle working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, what if it’s too heavy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia looked at him flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then pick a lighter one. Not everything’s a life or death struggle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then took some light dumbbells and handed one to the nearest disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your turn. Try to do ten reps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy grabbed it, his arm shaking instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-ten...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Count!\" Dahlia ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One...two... three... AARRGH!\" He dropped it on the mat, panting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least you didn’t drop it on your foot. Next!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then grabbed a smaller weight and held it above her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one’s called an overhead tricep extension. It works the back of your arms, the triceps. You’ll need his for stability and power when striking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bent her elbows, lowering the dumbbell behind her head, then raised it back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your elbows close to your ears, not flying out like chicken wings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples tried to copy her and almost hit themselves in the head, forcing Dahlia to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful! It’s not called ’knock yourself out training’!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group nodded as they began to do it more slowly and precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Keep your form clean. This movement looks simple, but deadly when done right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put the dumbbell down and moved toward a long bench with a barbell resting on the rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now we move to the bench press. This will build your chest, shoulders and arms. One of the most important moves in upper body training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia lay down on the bench, gripping the barbell firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You hold the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower it slowly to your chest... then push!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed the weight up smoothly, exhaling sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your back straight, feet planted. Don’t bounce it off your chest, or I’ll make you do double sets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That looks easy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia heard them, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, really? Come try, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One overconfident boy stepped up and took her place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the bar off the rack, lowered it... Then got stuck halfway. His face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlua sighed. \"Need help already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy frowned but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia then helped the boy re-rack the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember. Control over ego. That’s lesson one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then walked toward another station... a heavy barbell resting on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last one for today. The deadlift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She positioned her feet under the bar and squatted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one’s for your back, legs and grip strength. You’ll use it in real fights when you need to lift someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed the bar and pulled it up in one smooth motion until she was standing tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your back straight! Don’t hunch, or you’ll break yourself instead of the weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple watched her form closely. Her posture didn’t waver even with the heavy load.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now lower it gently,\" she said, placing the bar down with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She straightened and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, now pair up again. One lifts, one spots. You’ll all do these four exercises today. Five sets each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went silent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five sets?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Five. You already drink the Demonic Creatine, remember? Show me it’s worth it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groans filled the hall again. Dahlia clapped once, loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No complaints! Let’s move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia began walking between the rows of training disciples, her eyes scanning every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Demonic Creatine, the difference from yesterday was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples looked stronger, more focused, and less shaky. Even their stance were firmer and more stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlua crossed her arms, nodding in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, Yesterday, half of you couldn’t even hold a bar without trembling. Today, you almost look like the real members of God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples smiled proudly, wiping sweat off their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped near one group doing bicep curls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good... Keep your elbows close to your ribs. Don’t swing your arms, or you’ll just look like you’re dancing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two disciples quickly fixed their forms, faces red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia moved to another pair doing overhead tricep extensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One girl lowered the weight too fast and almost hit her head. Dahlia caught the dumbbell midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful! You’re not trying to knock yourself out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Senior Sister!\" the girl stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia placed the dumbbell back in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slow and steady. Control is more important than strength. The stronger you get, the more careful you must be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further down the hall, a group was working on bench presses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple struggles halfway up, shaking. His spotter quickly panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed and walked over, pressing one finger on the bar to help him lift it easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t panic when you spot. You’re there to help, not to scream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-yes, Senior Sister!\" the group quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched from the side, smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re improving fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Demonic Creatine really works. Their bodies are heating up faster, and they recover quicker between sets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what happens when you combine mana and body training. But still... this isn’t over, yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia narrowed her eyes, hearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an unknown reason, Dahlia had a really bad feeling about this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","94744db820b9b134474943f42f5e2e4d7918fba902b40a8c7d7603d92bd828fd","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-430","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-429",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
