Good. Today, we’re doing a more real training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few groans came from the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, we just finished breakfast...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My stomach still hurts...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we rest for five more minutes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia slammed her fist to her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! You think strength waits for you? Move your lazy bodies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples quickly stood straighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion walked in from the side, carrying a familiar crate, making every single disciple’s face go pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like usual, one bottle each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set the crate down in front of them and began handing out the bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples took them reluctantly, already recalling the painful spicy memories of yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no... not again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My tongue still burns from the last one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, every disciple had a bottle of Demonic Creatine in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, when Dahlia checked the crate, there was still one left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned, turning back to the disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who didn’t get one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples looked around quickly and shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all got ours, Senior Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why is there...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped mid-sentence. Her eyes slowly turned toward Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... Don’t tell me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smirk widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, Dahlia. With both Demonic Creatine and Demonic Protein, these disciples grew stronger in a very short time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the last bottle and gave it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I think it’s time you start taking it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way. I’m fine. I don’t need that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said that about the training suits, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s different!\" she protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing nearly made me breathe fire just from smelling it yesterday!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? Scared? Never.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged, presenting the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then drink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples began whispering among themselves, watching the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister’s going to drink it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is going to be good...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope she doesn’t explode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed, grabbing the bottle from Garion’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine! But if I die, I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the bottle. Steam rose immediately, and the spicy smell hit her nose, enough to sting her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smells like... burning peppers mixed with pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accurate description,\" Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples leaned closer, holding their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glared at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you all looking at? Never seen courage before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she tilted the bottle back and drank it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was instant. Her face turned red, her eyes widened, and she started fanning her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hot! HOT! Why is it so spicy?! It’s worse than the other supplements I drink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples burst out laughing. Some even clapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister finally knows our pain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s horrible! My tongue’s on fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you feel stronger, don’t you?\" Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia paused, flexing her arms a bit. A faint red glow began to form around her skin, lighting her veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I indeed do feel stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? Pain is temporary, but the power is there. No pain, no gain, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed, still fanning her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah... next time, warn me if it tastes like lava.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples continued laughing, but then Garion raised his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, enough. Everyone, finish your bottles. We will start in five minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groans filled the air as they all reluctantly lifted their bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked through her burning tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, you heard Master! If I can drink it, so can you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple whispered weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but we didn’t challenge him to prove our courage...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, one by one, they drank, faces twisting and eyes watering from the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion and Dahlia watched the chaos unfold, both smiling on their own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Let’s start the day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, another morning of pain began once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the Demonic Creatine was hitting everyone hard, especially Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t just fired up, but she was practically blazing with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clapped her hands loudly, startling the disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Enough resting! Since I’m all fired up, we’re going harder today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples groaned in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, please... have mercy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My arms still hurt from yesterday’s bench press...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think my legs are still squatting even when I sleep...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked, cracking her knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That means it’s working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started pacing back and forth in front of them, steam rising from her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already taught you push-ups, planks, sit-ups, bench presses, squats, bicep curls, and overhead tricep extensions. But guess what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped and looked around, eyes glowing faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not even half of what I can teach you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of despair went through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s... more of these torture exercises?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, there’s much more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed toward the rack of weights and bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, we’re going to learn the rest. Pay attention, and remember everything. Because if you forget...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll be doing double sets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples nodded quickly, straightening their backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlai smirked, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Let’s start with lunges. This one’s for your legs, glutes and balance. Watch me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up two heavy dumbbells, stepped forward deeply, and lowered herself with perfect form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your chest up, step straight, and don’t wobble! If you fall, I’ll make you crawl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples tried to copy her. One stumbled, another lost balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too slow! Focus! This is not a dance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dropped the dumbbells and clapped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next! Shoulder press! Grab the barbells!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted the barbell easily over her head, her arms steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one builds your shoulder and upper back! Keep your back straight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples followed, struggling to lift their bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, this is too heavy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia walked over, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too heavy? The only heavy thing here is your laziness!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple could only frown and tried his best to lift it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Dahlia cracked her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, we’re doing pull-ups. And you’re all doing twenty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples groaned again, but Dahlia was already showing them the form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped the bar, pulling herself up with ease, moving her body like a machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what real training looks like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples forced themselves to follow, arms shaking and faces red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia landed back on the ground, clapped once more, and pointed to the next set of equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re not done yet! We still have deadlifts and rows! You wanted strength... Then earn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched from afar, smiling as the hall filled with the sound of metal clanking, grunts, and Dahlia’s shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>",1138,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","0469923c95b4a280ab52072a066b70a2e955b5e2726f57ac724e72262e19e2b8","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-435","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-434",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
