Just think of it as a rite of passage. If you can survive, you’ll gain tremendous strength like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group went quiet for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar rubbed his arm again, still looking uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So basically, we have to nearly die to become strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won’t die. Probably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I didn’t die, did I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples stared at him blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. Once you awaken it, you’ll understand why it’s worth it. Look at me. After my awakening, I could stand toe-to-toe with Raviel. That’s proof enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded, slowly starting to smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded, beginning to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes sense. If each awakening changes the body at the cellular level, it would explain the massive jump in strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia crossed her arms, still frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still... the pain sounds like something I’ll never forget.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry too much about it, and also to cheer you up more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like mana traits, every unique physique is different. Each of you will awaken something based on your own talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s not something we can copy or predict.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, turning to Arden\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, it’s completely personal. That’s what makes it exciting. Don’t you want to know what kind of unique physique you’ll awaken?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar and Rynor both grinned. Dahlia smirked slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Eliza, who had been quiet, nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m curious. If the physique represents the body’s perfection, then discovering it might show who we really are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the setting sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight reflected off the deck as the ship hovered steadily in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his shoulders once and spoke casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. Enough talk for now. We have a dinner to attend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dinner? Wait... What dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at him with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the Revalis Clan, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor’s jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, we’re eating there? \"Are we eating there with the Patriarch and all the elders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. Patriarch Raviel invited us personally. He said he wanted to talk about what’s next for us, as he sees me as an equal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar leaned closer to Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Equals? I think he just wants to see what kind of people we are before we destroy his kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t embarrass us this time. Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor raised his hand dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll try my best, but no promises if the food smells too good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s exactly what I was worried about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden chuckled from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll make sure they behave, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gave him a grateful nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Arden. You’re my only reliable one sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, that’s unfair! We’re reliable too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You? Back at dinnertime on Demon Gate Island, you were always the first one who went straight to eat and the one who started the dinner chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar scratched his cheek awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... right. But I was really hungry after a really heavy workout at that time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, and you got hit by Master’s towel for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember that. You looked like you were about to cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up,\" Rynar muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled softly, watching them bicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all have such a funny dynamic. It’s like a family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at her with a small grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what I’ve been trying to build. A proper sect that feels like a home, not just a training hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded, her eyes warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you’ve succeeded, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned back toward the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, enough chatter. Go wash up and get ready. I don’t want us showing up looking like we just crawled out of a battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor looked at himself, noticing the dirt and soot on his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. Yeah, I think we should.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia crossed her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden straightened his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll prepare something clean for each of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good idea. We represent the God Gym now. Remember, this isn’t just dinner but the first time we’ll sit as guests in another clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very,\" Garion said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We make a good impression tonight. Understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples nodded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I join as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. You’re part of us now, Miss Rachel. You’ll come as one of our elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder? I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve already earned that title. Just being who you are is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel lowered her gaze, touched by the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward the ship’s interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone, move. Wash your faces, change your clothes, and make sure Rynor doesn’t eat anything before we arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor looked offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? I wasn’t even planning to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re literally holding a sandwich right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor froze, then hid it behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... this doesn’t count.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion exhaled. \"Rynor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor sighed, handing it to Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. I’ll save it for later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" Garion said, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go make a good impression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group started preparing, laughter and chatter echoing across the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun dipped below the horizon, the ship slowly turned toward the glowing Revalis Clan below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were ready for the dinner that would mark the start of something bigger for all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel landed back inside the Revalis Clan courtyard, his clothes still slightly torn from the fight but his mood surprisingly bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Rendric, who had been waiting nearby, quickly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch! Are you alright? What happened out there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel waved his hand casually. \"Nothing serious. Just a good match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly. \"Now, prepare a huge dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric blinked. \"Dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel nodded. \"Yes, I’ve invited Garion and his disciples to join us tonight. Make sure the cooks prepare plenty. They all look like big eaters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric hesitated. \"Garion... and his disciples?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked. \"Exactly. Now stop asking and start working. I’m going to clean up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Rendric could even reply, Raviel turned and started walking toward his quarters, humming quietly to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder stood there in silence for a long moment, completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab51a6fe7de39d58b9b8bad3ff288fb78d0563385644c9b52203125693280cd1","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-147","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-145",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
