He’s even pushing me back...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the Revalis Clan’s arena, elders and other members watching through the floating screen were in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image flickered as the pressure reached even the recording crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening down there!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can the Patriarch be pushed back?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the flying ship above, Rachel frowned as she stared at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening to him? His body... it’s glowing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden was already smiling, his eyes shining with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be his unique physique awakening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel turned to him, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unique physique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ma’am. It’s our path’s specialty. It’s different from the mana trait everyone else awakens from the mana path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel tilted her head. \"Different how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden leaned on the railing, explaining carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For most cultivators, when they reach the Mana Core Realm, they awaken a mana trait, something that changes how their mana behaves. But our path is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How different?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the name itself, it’s clear. A unique physique means the whole body transforms through mana. It’s basically an evolution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes widened a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s even stronger than a mana trait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. But it’s also much harder to awaken. You have to reach the Completion Stage of the Second Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you know, even reaching that point is already something very few can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel slowly nodded, watching the glowing figure on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... but if it’s really that powerful, then it’s worth it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s smile grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Master spent months perfecting the process. And now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the screen, where the light around Garion grew so bright it nearly covered his figure completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re finally going to see the result.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced at the glowing blue screen hovering in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Transformed Mana Core Cells: 100%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unique Physique Awakening: In Progress]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small grin spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.

His eyes widened, and he dropped to one knee, clutching his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like his entire body was being stabbed by trillions of needles from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his fist to the ground, roaring out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell, system! How can it be so painful!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system beeped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unique Physique Awakening: Body Reconstruction Initiated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Body Reconstruction: All cells transforming simultaneously]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: Minor Pain Expected]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s head snapped up, veins bulging on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minor pain!? This isn’t minor at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around him trembled as he roared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames and lightning from Raviel’s domain didn’t even seem to bother him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real battle was now inside his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel floated above, watching with a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s aura was rising fast, denser and more powerful by the second, but his screams echoed through the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... is happening to him?

He is a different cultivator than us after all. He is just built different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up on the flying ship, Rachel’s face was pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned closer to the screen, gripping the edge of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure this is part of awakening a unique physique? He looks like he’s in unbearable pain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden frowned deeply, his arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sure. Master is the first one among us to awaken it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked at him anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what’s exactly happening to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden didn’t answer immediately.
