All of it. Force that mana into your perfected mana-core cell. Stuff it until it starts splitting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Splitting...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Exactly like normal cells divide. But this time, you’re the one controlling it. Make it multiply. Make more perfected cells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel clenched his fists, taking a slow breath as he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... I’ll try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Garion corrected, tapping Raviel’s shoulder, \"you’ll do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel exhaled and sank into silence, focusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then turned to Aveline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline straightened, her expression a mix of caution and determination. \"Tell me what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion lifted a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, imagine the blood circulation in your body. How it flows. How it’s made. Everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline frowned but nodded. \"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued, voice calm but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, guide your mana into your bone marrow. Visualize mana slipping into the newly made blood. Then let that blood travel through your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline closed her eyes, following his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion took a step closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When that mana-infused blood reaches a cell you choose... Direct the mana into that one cell. Picture the process clearly. Turn that cell into a Mana Pool Cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline inhaled deeply, eyebrows tightening as she focused harder and harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few hours... her fingers twitched, her breathing steadied, and she opened her eyes, sweat running down her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I did it,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That’s what I wanted to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline placed a hand on her chest, feeling the difference. \"It’s... warm. Strange, but warm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Now for the real part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up sharply. \"Real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mana Pool isn’t enough. You need to turn it into a mana-core cell. Same process. Think about how the Mana Pool becomes the Mana Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline swallowed but steadied herself again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine... I’ll try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes and pushed mana into that single Mana Pool Cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bit by bit, it swelled, brightened, and condensed. Her fingers twitched. Sweat ran down her temple. Her teeth clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled sharply. \"It changed... It really became a mana-core cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked wider. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he clapped his hands once, startling her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now... time to destroy your old mana core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s head snapped up. \"What?! Already?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged like it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve got a mana-core cell now. There’s no point in keeping the old one. Crush it and use the mana to perfect the new cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glared. \"You say that so casually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because it is casual,\" Garion said, waving his hand lightly. \"Look at Raviel. He took the hit like a champ.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel, still sweating as he split his cell into more, lifted a trembling hand. \"N-Not a champ... That hurt like hell...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored him and tapped Aveline’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? You ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline clicked her tongue. \"Damn it... fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smirk grew sharper. \"Good. Brace yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline steadied her breathing. Her fingers curled into fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her eyes fixed on Garion, as if trying to steel herself through sheer anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion lifted his hand, mana gathering at his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last chance to say no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glared back. \"Do it before I punch you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"That’s the spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm pressed lightly against her lower abdomen, and he unleashed a controlled surge of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s body jolted. Her breath hitched. Her nails dug into her palms as she tried not to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F-Focus!\" Garion barked. \"Use that mana! All of it! Feed your new core cell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline gritted her teeth and forced her mind back into control, channeling the exploding mana into that single perfect cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath grew shaky, but the cell drank everything greedily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s eyes widened. \"It’s... transforming...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stepped back, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That’s how it’s done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel lifted his head, still panting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome... to the club, Aveline... hurts like hell, doesn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline shot him and Garion a murderous glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate both of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were sharp and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion burst out laughing, hands on his hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hate me more. The more you hate me, the stronger you’ll get. That’s how God Gym works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline clicked her tongue and looked away with a deep frown. \"I swear... you’re the worst.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned in with a playful smirk. \"And yet you’re still here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost punched him for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion straightened and pointed at her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, enough complaining. Just like Raviel. Split that cell. Force it to divide and spread. Make every new one perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline inhaled sharply, nodded once, then closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body tensed as she guided the swelling mana in her newly perfected cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel wiped his forehead, watching quietly. \"It’s tough at first... but once it starts splitting, it’ll flow naturally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline gritted her teeth. \"Focus... focus... damn it...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mana surged. A faint glow shimmered around her skin. She exhaled slowly, easing into the rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded with a satisfied smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That’s the right feeling. Keep pushing until it spreads through your whole body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline didn’t answer, fully absorbed in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then clapped his hands once, turning toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. While you two work on that, I need to go tell Dahlia and the others how to convert the elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Wait... you’re going to make the elders do this too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Of course. They’re the elders of God Clans. They’re not staying weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline, who was still struggling, opened one eye to glare at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going to make everyone go through this pain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yes. Every. Single. One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel slumped. \"They’re going to scream...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion walked to the door, waving lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them scream. After all... pain builds champions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline groaned. \"I really hate you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed again, disappearing into the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I love the results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","1cc51b10d02ffd0055190bd4d29cb2d6f1e8d9c707fac2526a37e38414c1619e","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-217","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-215",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
