Garion suddenly turned toward them and narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no! We’re not creating or even using those kinds of spells!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of his disciples, who were just laughing now, froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stepped forward, confused as to why Garion said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, aren’t you the one who mentioned it first? Why did you change your mind so fast?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked and tapped his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because it’s just too flashy. Didn’t I tell you before that we don’t need flashy mana spells to be strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed at the massive golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how do we fight something like that? We can’t just punch it and expect it to fall over, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes narrowed. \"Master... don’t tell me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, we punch or kick it just like breaking a big boulder. It was the same principle with a different target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara raised a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Master... isn’t a giant aura attack basically the same thing? We make a huge mana shape to hit it harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And become a glowing huge target? No thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden frowned, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... the big thing is the aura projection, not our body...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. But imagine fighting someone like Elder Asro. His mana trait absorbs mana. Your giant aura attack will just become food for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we attack before he can even think to absorb it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That works on one enemy. But what if there is more than one? What if there’s a whole group that can do the same thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples fell silent, expressions tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued, waving a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And besides, those flashy attacks drain too much mana. Too wasteful. Not efficient at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at Aveline and Raviel, who were still fighting inside their own domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They follow the mana path. They can afford to throw out big spells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And even though Raviel has basically followed the body path, he still has a mana core. That makes it easier for him to create huge constructs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Garion tapped his chest again, harder this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we’re different. Our mana sits inside our cells. Not in a core, not in meridians. So our strength...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his hand into a fist, tightening it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...is in our body. Not in big spells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re saying we can break things like that golem with... just a punch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. If your body is strong enough, you don’t need a giant aura sword. A fist is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don’t forget... You all will someday awaken your own[Unique Physiques]. If you want a spell, make one connected to your physique later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed at Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like him. His[Nature]physique connects him to forests and plants. So if he really wants to create something, he could form a giant vine fist and punch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But isn’t that still a big target? Like the flashy stuff you just banned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. It’s different. It’s not a mana construct. It’s just vines. Even if there’s mana in it, it’s tiny. Nature spells can’t absorb it like they absorb pure mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And because our mana is inside our cells, we can’t pull big chunks of it outside our body easily. That’s why we rely on body-strengthening spells instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden then raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what about your[Cannon Fist], Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion groaned and rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a different story. And it’s... ugh... really hard to use, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia leaned in, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard even for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up. I said it’s hard, not impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So basically, if Master can barely handle it, we shouldn’t even try yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza nodded softly. \"Agreed. Let’s not explode our arms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed at her. \"Exactly. Listen to Eliza.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples all sighed at the same time, but smiles slowly formed on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at them, expression turning firm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Listen up. This is the last reminder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples straightened unconsciously, backs stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tapped his chest once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all trained on this path, the God Physique Path, for one reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at each of them slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To make your body into your body into the body of the god. We don’t need flashy spells, mana, or anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chest harder this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So remember this... our body is our ultimate offense and defense. Just ignore the other things. Burn that into your brain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All disciples nodded at the same time, their eyes sharp and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We understand, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Good. Now, let’s get back to the main show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their eyes toward the arena again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle between Raviel and Aveline had grown even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s[Forest Guardian]stood split clean in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both halves hit the ground with a heavy quake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline frowned for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel hovered in the air, still wrapped in the remnants of his earlier attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his greatsword downward, grinning with full confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t think this is the same as before, Aveline!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel continued, voice loud and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My flames before could be absorbed by your vines, but now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked, opening his arms wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the[Flaming Storm]. A storm doesn’t stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the sword higher, flames and lightning whipping around him like wild wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It burns everything in its path! Even if your guardian absorbs some...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the broken golem pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The storm just keeps raging!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline clicked her tongue softly, her vines curling around her feet as she prepared to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you learned persistence, Raviel...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel smirked. \"No. I mastered it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around them crackled again as their mana clashed, the stage trembling from the force.\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","60f1d7fbcf53710fb1f0922dd3f8f2e023b5d28e7b3d73a921d8fa5a615ee9e7","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-187","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-500",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
