At first, she thought the floor was steaming from heat, but no...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their veins began to glow a deep red, pulsing like burning lines beneath their skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lips looked dry, their faces flushed, and faint heat waves shimmered in the air around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the?! Master! Their bodies are smoking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smiled calmly, arms folded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Normal?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a side effect of the Demonic Creatine,\" he said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It causes overheating, glowing veins, and sometimes extreme focus or mild aggression. A bit of dehydration, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit of dehydration? They look like they’re about to catch fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around again, also noticing that they indeed didn’t seem to notice their own condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were sharp, movements steady, and every one of them looked completely focused on their sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? They’re so focused they don’t even feel it. That’s the beauty of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned, placing her hands on her hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You always say things like that before something explodes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed louder this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. This isn’t bad. The effects are worth it, though. Rapid muscle growth, boosted power, and better endurance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed at some of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It even helped them absorb mana faster while they train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed, glancing again at the glowing disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still... they look like walking furnaces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think of it as a body forging. Their mana veins are adapting to the demonic energy. It’s actually good conditioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and your weird training logic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the one who volunteered to teach them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but I didn’t think I’d be teaching a bunch of human torches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled again, clearly enjoying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry too much. Just help them with their form. When they’re in this state, their bodies will remember every correction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion flicked his fingers, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the perfect time to build proper form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. You owe me if one of them passes out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked among them again, tapping hteir shoulders, adjustnig grips, correcting theior posture,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straighten your back. Don’t rush the reips. And you... Breathe properly. You’re not fighting for your life, just lift the damn weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched from behind, nodding approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Their limits are expanding. This is how a real God Gym starts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned her head slightly, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re enjoying this too much, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Pain builds character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and your quotes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few hours, the training finally ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Dahlia said, \"Alright, that’s enough for today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples didn’t even cheer. They just dropped their weights and slumped to the floor, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked over them calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. You all lasted longer than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded, wiping sweat from her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, they didn’t pass out this time. That’s already an improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Garion could reply, a loud noise echoed through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GRRRRRRRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze. It wasn’t one stomach. It was dozens of them. Then came another, and another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah. Looks like another side effect I don’t know about is kicking in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked. \"Side effect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled. \"Extreme hunger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples clutched their stomachs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister! I’m starving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like I could eat a whole horse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Already?! We just finished training!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their bodies used too much energy from the Demonic Creatine. They’re still burning their energy, so now they need fuel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia aighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could’ve warned me earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did say they’d need the restaurant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine. Everyone, move! Let’s go eat before someone tries to bite the dumbbells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall instantly came alive again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most exhausted disciples suddenly stood up and rushed toward the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they ented, the smell of cooked meat and broth filled hte air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Platters of steaming food appeared one after another through the system’s auto-serving function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting, the disciples dove in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t fight over the plates!\" Dahlia shouted, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already devouring everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One boy tore into a roasted beast’s leg like a wild animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another girl was eating rice straight from the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, I think I could eat ten more bowls!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of chewing, slurping, and satisfied groaning filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia just stood there, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re like starving wolves...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sat calmly at the nearby table, eating his own roast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Told you. They train, they burn energy, they eat. It’s the perfect cycle to build muscle and discipline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More like building a kitchen destroyer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one table, a disciple raised his hand weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister... can we get more food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stared at the pile of empty dishes beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already ate six plates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m still hungry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them eat. Their bodies need it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia shook her head, watching them stuff their faces like beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they keep this up, we’ll need to build a second restaurant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine. As long as they’re growing stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple burped loudly and immediately shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seconds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed again, rubbing her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. Definitely need a second restaurant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed quietly, then turned to the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, I almost forgot. After this... I’ll be giving you all another gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went silent. Every disciple froze mid-bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time Garion said those words, they’d ended up drinking the fiery Demonic Creatine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, their eyes widened in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... another gift?\" someone whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it this time? Demon soup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smiled mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll find out soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A visible shiver went through the entire group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned, crossing her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. It will be really good for you guys...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples groaned in dread, and just like that, dinner ended with fear instead of dessert.\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b044db97eb360a9eec969cd085455fb131244460863d4078d9ae6835d0a46aa","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-432","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-431",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
