Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method-Chapter 469: No Losses, Just Saying

Garion looked at Sianor for a moment, then let out a small breath through his nose. "...I didn’t expect you to be this kind."

Sianor turned his head slightly toward him. His expression didn’t change much, but there was a faint calmness in his eyes.

"Of course I am kind," he replied. "I am the patriarch of the Solmira Clan, the one that oversees the other grand factions."

His gaze shifted briefly across the gathering point, passing over the other factions.

"If I don’t do things like this... where would I put my face in the future when the same situation happens again?"

He paused slightly, then added while looking toward Fenric’s departing group, "And in their current state... they would not be of much help on the battlefield. It is better to send them away now."

Garion thought for a moment, then nodded. "I see. What you said makes sense."

He turned toward Dahlia and called her. Dahlia immediately turned her head. "Yeah?"

Garion gestured lightly toward Fenric’s group. "Give Drakenfel three golden dragons."

Dahlia raised an eyebrow. "Three? Are you sure about that? The other factions gave more than that."

Garion nodded calmly. "Golden dragons are more valuable, aren’t they? Three should be enough."

Dahlia thought for a moment, then nodded. "Got it. I’ll arrange it."

Sianor glanced at Garion, and a faint hint of interest appeared on his face. "I didn’t expect you to be this generous."

Garion shrugged slightly. "I can’t be the only one standing here without contributing anything, right?"

A small smile appeared on his face. "Where would I put my face if I didn’t give them something too?"

Clara let out a short laugh. "Yeah, that would be pretty embarrassing."

Garion didn’t respond. He simply glanced at her briefly before turning his attention back to Sianor. "Now that they’re gone... let’s check on the others. I wonder what happened to them."

Sianor looked at him and gave a faint smile. "They are in good condition. Better than you might expect." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He paused briefly before continuing. "They even managed to defeat a Chimera Commander."

Garion raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? Not bad. So I’m not the only one who managed to beat one."

Sianor frowned slightly, his brows pulling together. "That’s not what concerns me."

Garion glanced at him, curious. "Then what is?"

Sianor let out a quiet sigh, his expression turning thoughtful. "Strangely enough... I didn’t encounter one at all."

A brief silence followed.

Dahlia tilted her head. "None? But the other grand factions all faced one."

Sianor nodded slowly. "Exactly. That’s what confuses me. How could I not encounter even one?"

Garion thought for a moment, then smirked faintly. "Maybe they were avoiding you. The Solmira Clan specializes in dealing with demons."

His tone remained calm. "If they sent one to you, they would already be at a disadvantage."

Clara let out a short laugh. "No wonder. If they came to you, the same thing that happened to Drakenfel would happen again, except you wouldn’t end up like them."

Sianor stood silently for a moment before exhaling lightly.

"Even so... couldn’t they send at least one?" he muttered. "I wouldn’t mind a bit of excitement."

Garion smirked. "Don’t worry. You’ll get your chance later. This war isn’t ending anytime soon."

Sianor held his gaze for a moment, then gave a small nod. "I suppose that’s true."

Garion shifted his body slightly, turning his attention back toward the rest of the factions. "For now... let’s meet with the others and discuss the next step."

Sianor nodded, and the two of them walked forward together.

---

At the beginning, there had been five factions. Now, with Drakenfel withdrawing, only four remained.

The remaining factions were the Night Pleasure Sect, the Supreme Root Sect, the Solmira Clan, and God Gym.

Clark stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his posture straight and steady. His expression was calm, as always.

Beside him, Floren leaned slightly to one side. One hand rested on his waist, while the other loosely held a folding fan.

As Garion and Sianor approached, both men shifted their gaze toward them.

Floren spoke first. "So... did you do well in the war, Garion?"

Clark remained silent, but his eyes stayed fixed on Garion, waiting for his answer.

Floren tilted his head slightly. "After all... you brought the fewest members."

There was a faint teasing tone in his voice.

Garion simply smiled. "Of course. We are the elites of the elites."

His expression became slightly sharper. "And we had no losses... unlike the two of you."

His gaze moved between Clark and Floren. "You both lost people, didn’t you?"

A brief silence followed.

Floren’s smile stiffened slightly.

Clark’s expression remained unchanged, but his gaze sharpened.

Floren let out a soft breath and straightened his posture. "Of course we did."

Clark spoke calmly, his voice steady. "We mobilized a large number of members. Losses were expected."

Garion waved his hand lightly. "Yeah, yeah, but still..."

He glanced briefly at his own group. "I came with the fewest members and lost none. And we killed a Chimera Commander."

Floren’s fan stopped mid-motion as he looked at Garion. "We killed one as well. Don’t think you’re the only one."

Garion shrugged slightly. "I know. But I wasn’t the one who defeated it; my disciple was the one."

Floren let out a quiet laugh and shook his head. "Ours too. Don’t think you’re the only one with elites."

Before the conversation could continue, Sianor stepped forward and cut them off.

"That’s enough," he said calmly. "We’re not here to compare achievements."

Floren slowly closed his fan. Clark relaxed his gaze slightly. Garion said nothing, allowing Sianor to continue.

"The war is not over," Sianor said. "And with Drakenfel withdrawing, we need to decide our next course of action."

He looked at each of them in turn. "What do you all think?"

A brief silence followed as the four factions stood facing each other, the tension in the air shifting from competition to strategy.

The next move would decide everything.
