It looked so smooth from the moment he jumped and landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like he simply hopped up a few steps instead of leaping from tens of meters below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did... did he just jump all the way up here? How can it be possible? Is he flying? But he’s still at the second realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar whistled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master’s not human anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor crossed his arms, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nah, he’s more like a flying beast at this point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion straightened his coat and brushed some dust off his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also heard their whispers and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not flying, Miss Rachel. I just used my unique physique to make my body lighter. With less weight, one jump is enough to reach this height.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stared at him, her brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make your body lighter? You can do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s part of what my unique physique can do. I can control how heavy or light I am and even control the pressure around me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden, who had been watching quietly, suddenly smiled, feeling excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, so your physique really is related to pressure, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. You noticed fast, Arden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s eyes lit up with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, theoretically, you can control gravity! You can make yourself light or heavy whenever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved as if he were throwing a punch or kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you could also increase the pressure in your punches or kicks, right? Make them hit harder or lighter if you need control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, Arden. That’s correct. You really do think fast. So you already know about gravity, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden scratched the back of his neck, looking a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, right... gravity! That’s what it’s called. I actually forgot the name for a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’ve studied it before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, there’s a book about it in the Learning Hall back on the Demon Gate Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head, thinking back about the book that he read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The book basically talks about natural things in the world, including gravity, and mainly about how things fall and how the world pulls everything down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes rolled, shifting back to Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I never thought that I’d see someone using that power like that, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. I’m glad someone’s paying attention to the books I put there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wait, wait. There’s a book about falling rocks and stuff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I skipped that one. Looked boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course you did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed, rubbing his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all really need to study more. If you ever face something new, like my ability, for example, and you don’t understand it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion widened his eyes and yelled at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you going to win in a fight then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By punching harder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gave him a blank look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That’s why you’re always the one getting kicked first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled softly, still watching Garion with a mix of surprise and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think that even after fighting the Patriarch, you’re still teaching like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, teaching never stops. Besides, they’re hopeless if I don’t remind them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor leaned closer to Rachel, whispering dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He says that every time. And then we end up training for twelve hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel laughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. So he’s that kind of teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned his head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that, Rynor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Uh, I said you’re the best kind of teacher, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly. \"That’s what I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole deck burst into laughter again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Dahlia leaned against the railing and turned to Garion with a curious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Master... how did it actually feel when you awakened your unique physique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others turned toward him too. Even Rachel looked interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled lightly, scratching his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did it feel? Of course, it was painful. Very painful. My body was being rebuilt from the inside out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone went quiet for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlike the mana path, where the energy focuses on rebuilding your mana flow, this one actually rebuilds your body itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... it’s true, then? What Arden said before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What Arden said before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Arden and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead, Arden. Let me hear what you said to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden then spoke carefully, his tone half-serious, half-curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we saw you earlier, I guessed that your entire body was being replaced at once. That’s why it looked so painful. Like every nerve was firing together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, smiling proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good observation. You were right on point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and clenched it slowly, feeling the faint new strength in his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really was like that. Trillions of cells broke and reformed all at the same time. It felt like being stabbed by trillions of tiny needles... all over your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins made faces immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled after seeing their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you’ll go through it eventually. That’s part of the God Gym path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both twins froze. \"Wait, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s expression turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re going to feel that too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded casually, like he was explaining the weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. When your time comes, you’ll all awaken your own unique physiques. It’s painful, but it’s also proof that your body has reached perfection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden crossed his arms, sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So basically, we’ll all have to suffer like you did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty much. But hey, pain means progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor groaned loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I feel like your definition of progress is broken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, can we at least get a heads-up before it happens? Like a warning sign?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. The warning sign is me telling you right now. It’s going to hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone groaned at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel couldn’t help but laugh softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re really cruel sometimes, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe. But at least I tell the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed, rubbing her temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could’ve just said, ’It’ll hurt a bit.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was the short version.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, laughter filled the deck. Even Rachel smiled, shaking her head as she looked at the group.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f30c720e4cf1cd793459e37b313fee2330e3b8b68450efae3f923f2bdbeed7a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-146","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-144",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
