Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method

On God Gym’s planet, Garion sat comfortably inside his base with one leg crossed over the other.

He looked completely relaxed, waiting for news about the new customers who would come to God Gym after Rovak’s promotional video.

Then suddenly, a sound appeared from above, making him turn his head up.

In the distance, a sleek spaceship slowly descended through the storm clouds.

Its barrier flickered slightly as it resisted the planet’s brutal environment.

Soon after, the ship landed near the base.

The moment the door opened, two people walked out.

One had metallic silver skin, glowing blue energy patterns moving beneath his arms and neck, and lightly glowing eyes.

The other had long white hair, silver eyes, pale skin, and an elegant, calm appearance.

They were Slifera and Elisa.

Rovak’s friends.

And also Garion’s first friends in this vast cosmic civilization.

Garion got up and walked toward them with a wide grin. ”Oh, to think that you two came. Welcome to my God Gym.”

Slifera did not even bother with greetings and went straight to the point. ”What the hell happened to Rovak?”

Elisa stood beside him with a calmer expression, but her silver eyes were serious. ”We watched the livestream.”

Garion blinked. ”Oh, that.”

Slifera’s eye twitched. ”Yes, that! He was throwing around an Early Star Realm pirate captain like a training dummy!”

Garion nodded proudly. ”Pretty good, right?”

Slifera nearly choked. ”Pretty good? That big idiot was still Peak Awakening Realm a few days ago!”

Elisa looked at Garion carefully. ”How did he become Star Realm so quickly?”

Garion grinned. ”He trained. That’s all.”

Both of them froze.

Slifera stared at him. ”He trained?”

Garion nodded. ”Yeah.”

”Just like that?”

”Just like that.”

Slifera’s expression twisted like he wanted to curse but could not find the right words.

Elisa also stayed silent for a moment before saying, ”That answer is too simple.”

Garion laughed. ”Because the truth is simple.”

Then his expression became a little more serious. ”But don’t misunderstand. Rovak didn’t use ordinary God Gym training. He used the hidden ultimate training course, just like he said in the video.”

Slifera frowned. ”Hidden ultimate training?”

Garion nodded. ”That course isn’t something simple people can do.”

Elisa’s eyes narrowed slightly. ”What are the requirements?”

Garion raised one finger. ”First, they need to be at the Peak Awakening Realm.”

Slifera opened his mouth, but Garion continued before he could speak. ”And not just ordinary Peak Awakening. I mean the peak of the peak. Their body, mana, soul, foundation, willpower, and path all need to be strong enough.”

Elisa’s expression became more solemn.

Garion then raised a second finger. ”Second, they need absolute will.”

Slifera frowned. ”Absolute will?”

Garion smiled calmly. ”The will to die.”

Both Elisa and Slifera fell silent.

Garion leaned back in his chair. ”Because the training can result in death.”

For a moment, only the sound of thunder could be heard.

Slifera slowly turned toward Elisa. ”That sounds like something Rovak would do.”

Elisa nodded. ”Yes. He is Drakhor.”

Slifera sighed heavily. ”Of course that crazy race would dare to gamble with death for strength.”

Garion grinned. ”That’s exactly why he succeeded and finally turned into a Star Realm being.”

Slifera rubbed his forehead. ”I don’t know if I should be impressed or terrified.”

Elisa looked at Garion calmly. ”Probably both.”

Garion laughed, then suddenly leaned forward slightly. ”By the way, are you two here only to ask questions?”

Slifera froze.

Elisa’s silver eyes narrowed slightly.

Garion’s grin became brighter. ”Rovak already trained here. How about you two train too?”

Slifera immediately took half a step back. ”No.”

Elisa also calmly shook her head. ”No, thank you.”

Garion blinked innocently. ”Why?”

Slifera pointed at himself. ”Look at me. Do I look like Rovak?”

Garion looked at him from top to bottom. ”No.”

”Exactly!” Slifera said quickly. ”I am Silverian. We are not a race of muscle-brained monsters who punch asteroids for fun.”

Somewhere nearby, Rovak sneezed.

Slifera continued, ”My race specializes in technology, energy control, precision, and synchronization. I fight using tools, weapons, formations, and calculation.”

Elisa nodded. ”And the Moon Elf Race is also not suitable for brutal physical training. We rely on perception, lunar control, mental stability, graceful movement, and refined energy.”

Garion listened quietly.

Then his grin suddenly widened. ”I know.”

Slifera frowned. ”You know?”

Garion nodded. ”Of course. But who said you can’t train just because you’re not physically strong?”

Slifera’s expression stiffened.

Garion stood up slowly. ”God Gym doesn’t only train muscle monsters. We train anyone with a trainable body, mind, energy, and will.”

Elisa’s expression became more cautious. ”That sounds dangerous.”

Garion smiled. ”Only a little.”

Slifera immediately grabbed Elisa’s sleeve. ”We should leave.”

Elisa nodded. ”Agreed.”

The two turned around at the same time.

But before they could take more than three steps, Garion suddenly shouted, ”Dahlia!”

BOOOOM!

A storm of black-blue lightning crashed down in front of the exit.

Dahlia appeared there with her arms crossed and a wide grin on her face. ”Going somewhere?”

Slifera’s face twitched. ”You cannot be serious.”

Elisa stared at Dahlia calmly, but her hand had already moved slightly toward her weapon.

Dahlia’s grin became wilder. ”Relax. If Master wanted to kidnap you, he would have done it more politely.”

Slifera snapped, ”That does not make it better!”

Garion walked forward with a bright smile. ”Oh, come on. You two are my first friends in this vast Cosmic Universe.”

Slifera pointed at him. ”We haven’t even known each other for a year!”

Garion ignored that. ”So, because of our precious friendship, I’ll even train you two for free.”

Slifera and Elisa both froze.

”For free?” Elisa asked.

Garion nodded seriously. ”Yes.”

Slifera narrowed his eyes. ”Why does that sound more dangerous than paying?”

Garion’s grin turned shameless. ”Hehehe.”

Slifera’s expression darkened. ”That laugh is not reassuring.”

Elisa silently looked at the stormy training ground behind Garion.

Then she looked at Dahlia blocking the way.

Then back at Garion.

After a long pause, she sighed softly. ”It seems we cannot refuse easily.”

Garion smiled brightly. ”Smart.”

Slifera clenched his fists. ”Garion, I swear, if this training turns me into another Rovak, I’m blaming you.”

Garion laughed loudly. ”Don’t worry. I’ll make you into the best Silverian version of yourself.”

Then he looked at Elisa. ”And you into the best Moon Elf version of yourself.”

Elisa’s eyes moved slightly.

For a moment, she did not answer.

But in the end, she nodded once. ”Fine. But no hidden ultimate training.”

Garion smiled. ”Not yet.”

Slifera’s face instantly changed. ”What do you mean, not yet?!”

Dahlia laughed from the side.

Garion only turned around and waved his hand.

”Welcome to God Gym training.”
