Your body’s starting to heal and strengthen from the mana flow. That’s exactly what I wanted to see. You’re ready to train again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel let out a slow breath, still sitting on the ground. \"So this mana cultivation was just to help me recover more quickly so I can train again sooner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Exactly. This is the rhythm. Train, cultivate, train, cultivate. That’s the Infernal Routine I designed just for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel gave him a flat look. \"You mean you’re making me suffer endlessly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, squatting down beside him. \"No suffering, just progress. The more you break your body down, the stronger it grows back. Simple as that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel frowned. \"So basically, I destroy myself every day and then rebuild myself every night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Now you’re getting it. It’s the fastest way to push past your limits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned, wiping sweat from his forehead. \"I’m really regretting making you my trainer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Good! Regret means you’re learning something new.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel glared at him. \"You’re insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Maybe, but I get results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands, standing up straight. \"Alright. Keep that mana flowing for another five minutes before we start the next phase. You’re still not at full recovery yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel raised a brow. \"Next phase? What kind of torture are you planning now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned, pointing toward the training rack. \"Weighted sword swings. One hundred of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s eyes widened. \"One hundred?! I just finished fifty squats and push-ups!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled wider. \"That’s why I said cultivate first. You need that mana flowing through your body so you don’t fall apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned loudly. \"You’re enjoying this too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Of course. A good trainer always enjoys watching progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel muttered under his breath. \"You mean watching people die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head. \"What was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel quickly stood up. \"Nothing. Fine, I’ll do it. But if my arm falls off, you’re paying for a replacement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Deal. Now get up. Keep your mana circulating while you move. That’s the key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed, lifting his greatsword from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bracelets on his wrists clanked, reminding him of the heavy weight still attached to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion also reminded him again. \"Remember. Don’t just swing wildly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did his breathing, becoming focused. \"Breathe, control your center, and let your mana flow through every motion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the greatsword, then on Raviel’s shoulder. \"The sword should feel like part of your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel adjusted his stance and began swinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatsword cut through the air with heavy force, and each swing made his muscles ache, but he pushed through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded approvingly. \"Good. Keep that up. Your body’s already starting to adapt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel gritted his teeth. \"You mean it’s starting to fall apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Same process. Different viewpoint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel kept swinging, his breathing rough but steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat dripped from his face, mixing with the faint glow of mana around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms and watched silently for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. Your body is learning to fuse mana circulation with movement. That’s the first real step toward the new you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel finished his hundredth swing and leaned on his sword, panting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re seriously turning me into one of your disciples, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"You already are. You don’t know it yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel gave him a tired glare. \"You’re lucky I respect your skill, or I’d have thrown this sword at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Good thing your arms are too tired for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel sighed and sat down again, letting his mana flow through his limbs once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Train, cultivate, train, cultivate... you’re insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled and turned toward the clock. And tomorrow, we add endurance runs. You’ll love it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned, slumping forward. \"I hate you already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion patted his shoulder with a grin. \"You’ll thank me when you’re stronger than her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel paused, then muttered quietly. \"For Aveline...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"That’s the spirit. Now keep cultivating before your next set. The Infernal Routine waits for no one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell quiet again, filled only with Raviel’s heavy breathing and the faint hum of mana moving through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the VIP training room, Rendric was watching the chaos inside the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with the sound of weights clanking, elders groaning, and Dahlia barking orders loud enough to make even the boldest disciples flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders, once proud and dignified, were now drenched in sweat, trembling as they lifted barbells and struggled through squats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric sighed and rubbed his temple. \"By the heavens... they’re actually doing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned as Dahlia approached, wiping sweat from her forehead and carrying a clipboard filled with training logs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Rendric... Welcome. Are you checking on their progress?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded slowly. \"Progress? You mean survival?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the row of elders trying to complete their push-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this rate, we’ll have to rename this place Revalis Rehabilitation Center.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia chuckled softly. \"Oh, they’ll be fine. They’re getting stronger. They just don’t know it yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric frowned. \"Fine? They look like they’re about to pass out. I can’t even tell who’s training and who’s fainted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smirked. \"If they faint, that just means they reached their limit. And Master Garion says that’s the best time to grow stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric groaned, shaking his head. \"I swear, your master’s definition of training is closer to torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned. \"That’s why it works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed again, glancing toward the large metal doors leading to the VIP room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few faint, muffled noises could be heard that sounded like someone yelling Garion’s name in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendirc frowned. \"Speaking of your master, what’s going on in there? Are you sure the Patriarch is alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia looked over at the door, her expression calm. \"Don’t worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric raised an eyebrow. \"Don’t worry? That’s the Patriarch of the Revalis Clan in there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia chuckled softly. \"Relax, Elder Rendric. That’s just part of the process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric crossed his arms. \"A process that involves screaming and explosions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked. \"Exactly. That means the training’s working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","582ccce0f029064c2440e5ee46ef386182058bae43020e5d7158445c093c6d2f","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-482","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-481",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
