It’s time for me to reward you with something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples perked up instantly. Whispers spread among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, something good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"They were rewards for defeating those mercenaries who dared to invade this island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples straightened proudly, and the twins, Rynar and Rynor, grinned at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gario then retrieved two small vials from the system’s storage. One was glowing faint blue, and the other red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the twins and threw the vials to them. \"These are your rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins caught them, looking down at the strange liquids swirling inside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor frowned. \"Uh... Master, are you sure these are the rewards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar squinted suspiciously. \"They looked quite a bit dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples began whispering behind them as they somehow realised the same scene from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, isn’t that the same scene when he gave us the Demonic Creatine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no... not again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor’s face paled. \"Master, this isn’t like that shake again, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after a short pause, he grinned widely. \"Worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hall went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\" Rynar said weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled brightly. \"Don’t worry. It’ll be good for you. Now, drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins looked at each other helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor narrowed his eyes. \"If we die, I’m haunting you, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar nodded, thinking the same. \"Better be ready, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smiled and nodded after hearing this. \"No problem... now, drink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, the twins opened the vials. A foul, sour smell instantly filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples nearby stepped back, covering their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor gagged. \"It smells like rotten lemons mixed with metal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar winced. \"Why is it fizzing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved his hand off, urging them. \"Less talking. More drinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both twins sighed and raised the vials. \"Bottoms up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They drank, and the reaction was instant. Their faces twisted in horror as they choked and coughed violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gah...! What the hell is this!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s salty! And sour! It burns!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fell to their knees, clutching their throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tongues cramped, eyes watered, and every breath came out as a wheeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. \"Oh wow, that looks painful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara wince. \"Painful? It sounds illegal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, unfazed. \"Good. That means it’s working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar managed to look up, his face red and sweaty. \"Master! You’re insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor groaned beside him. \"I think my body and soul are melting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crouched beside them, smiling proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t talk too much now! Just feel it. You can sense the change inside you now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins blinked through the tears, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, all they could focus on was the terrible taste, but then they felt something stirring deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their muscles tensed, mana veins glowing faintly under their skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was strange, like every part of their body was being pulled, stretched, and reshaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor’s eyes widened. \"It feels... weird. Like my blood’s boiling, but also... excited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Exactly. That’s your body rejoicing. Your mana cells are being forced to evolve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, both twins collapsed completely on the floor with a thud. Their bodies twitched slightly, heat radiating from their skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\" Dahlia rushed forward. \"What’s happening to them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stopped her with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. This is just a side effect of it. Their perfect mana pool cells are forcibly splitting and transforming the rest of their cells at high speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s eyes widened. \"Wait... so it’s like... mana injection to accelerate their realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, nodded. \"Precisely. The Limit Break Serum directly triggers cell transformation. It’s painful, yes, but the results are worth it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara frowned. \"So they’ll be fine... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Probably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably?\" several disciples shouted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned wider, clearly enjoying their panic. \"Relax. My drinks have never failed before, have they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar and Rynor, both trembling and drenched in sweat, somehow managed to glare at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor groaned weakly. \"Master... you can call this not failing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"If you’re still talking, you’re still fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other disciples stepped back nervously as the twins groaned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smirk faded slightly as he turned toward the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’System. What stage will they reach after drinking those serums?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Notification]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Both Limit Break Serums have been remixed and re-optimized for compatibility with subjects: Rynar and Rynor.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Estimated Result: Advancement to Completion Stage of the Mana Cells Refinement Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked, eyebrows raising slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait... straight to Completion Stage? You mean they’re skipping everything in between?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System didn’t reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his chin, thinking seriously, knowing what the system meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So you’re saying the serums in my storage weren’t fully completed versions... and you just modified them on the spot for them?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, silence, making him grin faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So you can adjust the formula automatically. Mixing, balancing, optimising, depending on who drinks it, huh? Interesting.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor groaned again. \"Master, I think I’m dying...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar coughed beside him. \"If this is the reward, I shouldn’t have taken it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a brow. \"You’re not dying. Your bodies are just adapting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adapting?!\" Rynor shouted weakly. \"It feels like my insides are trying to start a rebellion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"All good progress comes with a little pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor wheezed. \"A little?! Master, I can’t feel my legs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry,\" Garion said. \"When you wake up, you’ll feel better than ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples still looked doubtful. Dahlia folded her arms. \"You sure they’re not gonna die before that happens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened. \"If they die, I’ll be impressed. It means the serum worked too well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\" several disciples shouted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could say more, the twins’ glowing veins suddenly flared brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful surge of energy burst out of them, forcing everyone to step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes gleamed. \"There it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins groaned one last time before their bodies went completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow faded slowly, replaced by a faint pulsing light beneath their skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Rynar suddenly gasped and sat up, his eyes glowing faint red for a second before returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor followed right after, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor blinked. \"What... just happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar clenched his fists. \"I feel... strong. Really strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled proudly. \"Congratulations. You two just broke through to the Completion Stage of the first realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hall went silent. \"What!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1076,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a8125bb594dc4847ac0440d71d85d684712403027573a78c1ca86224a03d51a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-111","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-109",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
