His aura was calm but powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’d like to have some conversation with you, if you’re free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled and nodded. \"Of course. Come aboard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two entered the ship, Garion’s eyes glanced toward the robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who might you be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Raviel Revalis, patriarch of the Revalis Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the famous clan head himself. Nice to meet you, Patriarch Raviel. Please, have a seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric quickly brought out a small table and a few cups of strong, fragrant alcohol from his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion picked up his cup, sniffed once, and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strong stuff. I like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a sip, letting out a hum of approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smooth. Not bad at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Glad you enjoy it. We brew it only for our honored guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion set the cup down and leaned back slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So then... What do you want to talk about, Patriarch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised a hand calmly. \"Nothing too formal. Just... curiosity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced toward the distant arena lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your sect, the God Gym. It’s made quite a name for itself in such a short time. Even I, who tend to avoid outside matters, have heard of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion only smirked without answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric just chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rare, you know. For a new sect to rise so quickly and even win the once-a-decade Youth Grand Tournament. Only a handful have done that in the last thousand years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet, your disciples didn’t use the typical mana arts. They fought with pure body strength and control. That’s... very different from the paths we know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes glinted faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Different doesn’t mean wrong. It just means we’re ahead of our time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smiled at that, clearly amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You speak with confidence, Sect Leader. I respect that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confidence is what gets results. And results are what make history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric took a slow sip of his drink, his eyes studying Garion quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, I must admit, your methods are... unconventional. You’ve offended many sects, haven’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard that too. Let’s just say, those who picked a fight with me didn’t exactly make it back to complain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That earned a small laugh from Raviel. \"I can see why the other sects are cautious about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his cup slightly in mock salute. \"Let them be cautious. Fear’s a good motivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three shared a quiet moment as the night breeze brushed past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s tone softened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, I didn’t come just to talk about fame. I wanted to see the man who dared to train without relying on mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly, setting his cup down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I hope what you’ve seen so far didn’t disappoint... but I’ll still need to correct you a little, Patriarch Raviel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed his right arm lightly and tapped his bicep with two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We do rely on mana... maybe even more than you think. But the way we use it is... different from the normal cultivation path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel leaned forward slightly, curious. \"Different how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Of course... I can’t tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric blinked. \"You can’t?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"It’s our sect’s secret. If I start explaining it to everyone, it won’t be a unique path anymore, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel chuckled quietly, his sharp eyes glinting. \"That’s fair. A secret should stay a secret. But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, folding his hands. \"What if I gave you something in return for it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head slightly, pretending to think. \"Oh? A trade, then? Interesting. What are you offering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked. \"No, no. It’s the other way around. I’ll ask instead. What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back against his chair, smiling calmly in a way that always seemed to make people nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then. Let’s make it simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one finger. \"I want a cultivation art for the Third Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze for a second, his calm expression flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric, however, looked completely taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Leader Garion... do you even realize what you’re asking for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged casually. \"Of course. A cultivation method for the Third Realm. What else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s one of the highest secrets in the clan! Even some elders don’t have access to it. That’s not something we can just hand out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the air could get too heavy, Raviel lifted his hand, signaling Rendric to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice stayed calm. \"It’s alright. Let him finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do understand, don’t you, that the Revalis Clan’s Third Realm cultivation art isn’t something shared lightly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then gestured his hand toward Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like yours, it’s a secret, and even if I wanted to, giving it away would be making some problems for me and other elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly and took another sip of the strong alcohol in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Patriarch. I knew that the moment I said it. But I’m not asking for your personal clan art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised an eyebrow. \"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t be able to cultivate it. Our path is completely different. What I need is just information. A reference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel seemed to consider this for a moment, his fingers tapping the table lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I want is a book. If I remember right, it’s called[Cultivation Secret].The first volume covers the Mana Refinement Realm. The second, the Mana Core Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up three fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So naturally, what I’m looking for is the third volume for the Third Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","c756ae30da11aeba07cf3f07919232ee82eaa2ca8e14bfe6a33ac78637edec17","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-127","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-125",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
