How can it be this hot and still taste tangy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, watching him from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s one of the side effects. It works great, but the flavor... well, still a work in progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel squinted at him. \"Wait... One of the side effects? What do you mean by one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, looking completely unbothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. The drink might make your body overheat for a bit, maybe shake your body a bit, and you’ll probably see a few sparks jumping off your skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then remembered another side effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and also don’t forget to drink some water later, as dehydration could be a possible side effect too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"What the hell, Garion! You could’ve said that before I drank it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"You didn’t ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks began to crackle faintly around Raviel’s shoulders, his skin giving off a faint red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at his arms in disbelief. \"You’ve got to be kidding me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Relax. That means it’s working. Feel that heat? That’s your mana circulation hitting overdrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped Raviel’s shoulder. \"It boosts your strength and mana flow efficiency. It’s the perfect state for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel exhaled slowly, feeling the heat spread through his chest. His aura flickered between red and yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch... no wonder your disciples are scared of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head. \"Scared? They should be grateful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel gave him a flat look. \"Grateful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed. \"You’ve got insane training routines, and now you’re feeding them insane drinks like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Exactly. Builds character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed, shaking his head while sparks danced around his arms. \"You’re not a trainer, you’re a demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled and started walking toward the squat rack. \"Good. Then let’s begin your infernal training, Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned. \"If I survive this, I’m going to make you drink one of my clan’s worst potions next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked back with a grin. \"Deal. But make sure you can still walk by the end of today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then began loading weights one by one, and when he finished, the bar stood heavy with a full 100 kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s eyes widened. \"Wait a minute. Outside, I only used fifty! Why are you doubling it already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Because you already drank that supplement. Your strength’s boosted right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stared at the bar, then at Garion. \"You’re insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"And you agreed to this. Now stop talking and squat. Ten reps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel exhaled, stepping forward under the bar. The moment he lifted it off the rack, the floor vibrated slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles tensed, and faint sparks ran across his arms and neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered himself slowly. \"One...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth. \"Two...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood behind him, nodding. \"Good. Keep your back straight. Don’t let your knees cave in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then shouted, cheering for him. \"Feel that pressure! That’s your limit being tested!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned. \"I feel it’s all right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Now do it nine more times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel shot him a glare, but kept going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath grew heavy, heat rising from his skin as each rep made the sparks grow brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the tenth squat, small flickers of flame appeared around his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He racked the bar and let out a deep breath, sweat dripping down his face. \"Ten reps. Done. Satisfied?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Not yet. Three sets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Three sets?! Are you trying to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Don’t exaggerate. You’re a Patriarch, not a rookie. You said you wanted to train seriously, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. \"I didn’t think ’seriously’ meant suicide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored him and pointed at the bar. \"Come on. You’ve got one month. Don’t expect me to go easy on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed and grabbed the bar again. \"One month with you feels like a punishment from the heavens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Then consider it divine training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel shot him a tired look. \"You’re enjoying this way too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Of course I am. You’re the one who said you wanted to impress Aveline. So squat like a man who’s going to win his bride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze for a second, then gritted his teeth. \"You didn’t have to put it like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned against a nearby bench. \"Motivation works best when it stings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel took a deep breath and returned to position. \"Fine. But when I collapse, you’re carrying me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"If you can’t walk, I’ll just drag you to the next set.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned. \"I hate this already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms. \"You’ll thank me when she looks at you differently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel snorted. \"She’d better, or I’m throwing this barbell at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Now that’s the spirit. Three sets, Patriarch. Let’s see if you can survive this infernal routine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel muttered, \"If I die, tell the clan I went out training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned wider. \"Don’t worry. You’ll live. But walking tomorrow? That’s a different story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back at the Revalis Clan, Rendric had already returned to handle the affairs left behind by the Patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked through the main hall, reading through a stack of reports while several elders followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them asked. \"Elder Rendric, will the Patriarch really be gone for an entire month?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded. \"Yes. He’s doing... special training with Sect Leader Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders exchanged nervous glances. \"Special training? With that monster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Which means for the next month, we all need to handle things properly, and no one is allowed to bother him. Not even if the heavens fall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded quickly and scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the hall was quiet again, Rendric leaned back in the Patriarch’s chair and rubbed his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One month without Raviel... may the gods help this clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the clan map spread across the table. \"Now then... there’s still one more problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes moved to the northern area marked with green vines, known as the territory of the Avenora Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","12dffa5785cc847249817321f9742e876ebe5d79b86cdc0cf1eb9f7728e1e967","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-466","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-465",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
