Chapter 668: God Gym Accepts All
Garion nodded, still looking pleased with the deal. "You can just have Paren send the five people to me later."
Bruno nodded once. "That will be arranged."
Garion’s expression became slightly more serious. "But let me tell you something first, Supervisor Bruno."
Bruno looked at him calmly. "Go ahead."
"Just like Rovak said, not everyone can join the hidden ultimate training." Garion raised one finger. "They must already be at the true peak of the Awakening Realm."
He raised a second finger. "More importantly, they need an iron will and must be prepared to die."
Bruno’s expression did not change.
Garion continued, "I’m serious. This training is not some comfortable breakthrough method. If their will is weak, or if they hesitate when death is right in front of them, they might not make it."
His grin slowly returned. "Of course, the reward is worth it. If they succeed, they’ll enter the Star Realm with a perfect foundation from the very beginning."
Bruno nodded calmly. "You don’t need to worry about that, Garion. I already heard the requirements from Rovak."
He paused for a moment, and his expression became slightly heavier. "However, I should also warn you about something."
Garion raised an eyebrow. "Hm? What is it?"
Bruno looked directly at him. "I am not an easy person to fool, Mister Garion."
Paren’s expression immediately became awkward.
Bruno continued, "So make sure this is not some elaborate scam. I am not nearly as generous as you seem to think."
Garion stared at him for a second before bursting out laughing. "Hahaha! Don’t worry too much, Supervisor Bruno."
His grin turned savage. "If I dared to livestream the result to the entire Astral Cosmic Civilization and even involve Paren directly, how the hell could this be a scam?"
Paren quietly looked away.
Bruno stared at Garion for a few moments before a faint smile appeared on his face. "Good."
He nodded once. "I’ll have the five candidates sent to you later through Paren."
Garion waved casually. "Alright, but remember what I said. I want the best of the best, not some weak-ass cowards."
Bruno’s projection began to fade. "Don’t worry, Mister Garion. After all, I am a Supervisor. Just make sure you train them well. Goodbye for now."
Garion grinned and waved back. "For sure, Supervisor Bruno. Bye-bye. See you later."
Paren remained silent for several seconds after listening to Garion casually talk back to Supervisor Bruno as if the man were just another customer.
His mouth twitched, but eventually, he sighed. "Alright. I’ll register both locations under your faction."
Paren continued, "Your current planet and Floating Hell Island. Do you want to keep their original names, or change them?"
Garion immediately rubbed his chin.
Naming both the planet and the new island with "God Gym" at the front sounded a little too ordinary, and it would probably become annoying trying to tell them apart later.
"Let’s change them."
Paren already looked tired. "Of course."
Garion pointed toward the storm-covered world around him. "For this planet, let’s call it Divine Star Gym World."
Paren’s expression stiffened slightly.
Garion continued without noticing. "It’s dangerous even for Star Realm beings, so the name fits."
Paren slowly nodded. "Fine. And Floating Hell Island?"
Garion’s grin widened. "That place is dangerous even for Celestial Realm beings, right? Let’s call it Divine Celestial Gym World."
Paren stared at him.
Garion smiled proudly. "Good names, right?"
Paren’s mouth twitched. "If anyone heard those names without context, they would probably imagine some kind of paradise built specifically for powerful cultivators."
His expression became strange. "In reality, both places are basically hell."
Garion suddenly laughed. "Hahaha! Even better. More people will come."
Paren rubbed his forehead. "That is exactly what worries me."
Garion completely ignored him.
Paren sighed and changed the subject. "I’ll arrange the teleportation connection later. Do you want a platform model or a portal model?"
Garion thought for a moment. "Platform style."
Paren raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Garion rubbed his chin. "I heard platform-style teleportation takes slightly longer and carries fewer people at once, but it’s more stable."
Paren nodded. "That’s correct."
Garion grinned. "Then platform style."
Paren entered the information into his system. "Fine. I’ll arrange it."
A few moments later, the call finally ended.
---
Once the call ended, Garion looked back at Mirena. "By the way, what happened to the auction? Who’s winning the training slots?"
Mirena glanced at the floating screens beside her. "The bidding is still ongoing."
Garion raised an eyebrow. "Still?"
She nodded and quickly checked the current rankings. "The top three bidders right now are the Malachor Family, the Ignis Dragon Clan, and the Azure Battle Palace."
Garion blinked. "The Ignis Dragon Clan?"
Mirena looked at him. "Yes."
Garion leaned back with a genuinely surprised expression. "Didn’t Dahlia just defeat their genius?"
He still remembered Kaelvar Ignis clearly.
The guy had transformed into his true dragon form during the Newbie Tournament, only to be defeated by Dahlia in front of everyone.
Yet now, the Ignis Dragon Clan actually wanted one of God Gym’s hidden ultimate training slots.
Garion rubbed his chin for a moment before a grin slowly appeared on his face. "Well, whatever."
Mirena raised an eyebrow.
Garion shrugged casually. "I don’t care who they are. If they want to train, I’ll train them."
His grin widened slightly. "Enemies, rivals, arrogant young masters, dragon clans... doesn’t matter."
Mirena stared at him for a moment.
Garion leaned back comfortably. "As long as they pay and survive the training, they’re customers."
Mirena’s expression became slightly strange. "You really don’t care?"
Garion laughed. "Why would I?"
He glanced toward the auction screen. "If the Ignis Dragon Clan wants to send someone, good. I’ll train them properly."
His smile became more shameless. "Maybe they’ll even thank Dahlia later for beating Kaelvar badly enough to make them notice God Gym."
Mirena silently stared at him, slightly stunned by how casually he said it.
Most factions would never willingly strengthen someone they considered a rival or possible enemy.
They would hide their training methods, guard their secrets, and do everything possible to prevent outsiders from benefiting.
Garion, however, seemed perfectly willing to train anyone as long as they paid and survived.
Mirena looked back at the auction screen.
She had a feeling that dealing with Garion for too long was slowly damaging her common sense.
