Lower! If you can talk, you’re not tired enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor added, spinning on his heel. \"And if you’re still standing, you’re cheating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders cried in unison, \"WE’RE NOT CHEATING!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sighed, rubbing her temple as she corrected someone’s push-up form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least try to keep your back straight... you’ll break something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You’re all just doing weight training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned around slowly. \"Master... this is what you told us before, right? To train them with the basics first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion placed a hand on his hip and pointed at her with a tiny smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but that was before they joined the God Gym officially. You think they’re going to grow fast like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked. \"We thought this was already fast...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue. \"Nope. Too slow. What are you all doing? Just pumping iron?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar puffed his chest. \"It works!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor nodded. \"Look at their arms. They’re shaking already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pinched the bridge of his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I meant the real training. The same thing I taught you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... you want us to teach them body knowledge now? Already? Some of them still don’t even know how blood works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One elder in the back raised his hand weakly, still holding a dumbbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Blood circulates... clockwise, right...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder whispered, \"Shut up, you’re embarrassing us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia. If Raviel and Aveline can learn two days’ worth of anatomy without crying, these guys can handle it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden scratched his cheek. \"Master, I think some of them will cry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Crying means they’re learning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia finally let out a long breath. \"Fine... but if any of them pass out, you’re explaining this to Raviel later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal,\" Garion said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now listen. I’ll teach all of you how to convert their cultivation paths to ours. The steps. The flow. What to watch for. Then you spread that to the rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned. \"So we’re making everyone like us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Exactly. Everyone who is part of our God Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor gave a thumbs-up. \"Nice. Can’t wait to see them scream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t spare them a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knelt down, grabbed a stick, and casually drew steps on the ground like he was explaining a cooking recipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, listen. This is how you’ll train them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia, Arden, the twins, and the elders leaned in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tapped the first point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step one: Teach them the body. Not surface-level stuff. Real anatomy. Muscles. Organs. Blood movement. Cells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elder whispered nervously, \"W-We have to learn all that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded seriously. \"Yes. And you’ll use a cadaver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the elders jumped back, not knowing what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned. \"Master’s teaching method never changes. Brutal but effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor leaned in. \"At least the corpse doesn’t fight back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued as if they weren’t talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cadavers make learning faster. One look and the knowledge sticks. Don’t argue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden sighed. \"This is going to break a few minds...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed to the second step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step two: Make them transform one cell into a mana pool cell. Just one. If they fail even that, they’re not ready for our path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several elders gulped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded. \"Basic visualization and mana flow. Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion drew a circle, adding another line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step three: Turn that mana pool cell into a mana-core cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One elder raised a trembling hand. \"S-Should we expect it to hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"That part? No. That’s the easy part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the painful part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the ground hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step four: Destroy their mana core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every elder froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground became silent for a solid five seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHAT?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DESTROY?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OUR MANA CORE?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"IS THIS A JOKE?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion lifted a hand, shutting them up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No joke. You destroy the mana core. And yes, it will hurt. A lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders trembled like leaves in a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smiled sympathetically. \"You’ll survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden added, \"Master broke Raviel’s mana core. He lived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar snickered. \"But he screamed loud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor nodded. \"Very loud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion spoke again, calm and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When their mana core shatters, the mana inside will run wild. Use that wild mana to force it all into the new mana-core cell and transform it into a perfected mana-core cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, you know the rest. Split, spread, and convert the rest of the cells over time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders stared at him with hollow eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clapped his hands once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Dahlia, Arden, the twins, and the others... teach them everything I just said.No cutting corners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia saluted with a grin. \"Understood, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar cracked his knuckles. \"This is going to be fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor laughed. \"We’re making history. And tears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders collectively swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clapped her hands once, sharp and loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Everyone, grab a cadaver!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden dragged a table forward, placing a covered body on top. \"Don’t just stand there. Learning starts now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins each grabbed a cadaver by the shoulders and dropped them in front of two terrified elders with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar smirked. \"Don’t faint yet. We haven’t even opened them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor added, \"Yeah, save your screaming for later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara and Eliza both rolled out their own cadavers, pushing them toward the remaining elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One elder shook so hard he nearly dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-Hold on! Isn’t this... Isn’t this demonic?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder raised a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re cutting open bodies! Human bodies! This is heresy in some sects!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head. \"Do you want to learn fast or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders frowned, but before the panic could spread further, Garion explained it to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. These corpses belonged to villains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued calmly, \"Murderers. Traitors. People who tried to kill children. People who betrayed their own clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not disrespecting heroes. You’re using trash to build something good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders exchanged uneasy looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden lifted the cloth on his cadaver, revealing the body’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one tried poisoning the other elders a few days ago. Remember him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three elders gasped. \"HIM?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded. \"Now he’s finally useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar slapped the back of another corpse. \"This guy? Used to kidnap women outside the city. A real bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor pushed his cadaver closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine tried to steal everything from the clan treasury. So stop whining. They deserve this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders’ expressions softened. They were still disturbed, but no longer panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Clara pointed toward the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And by the way... Patriarch Raviel and Matriarch Aveline learned with this method too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every elder stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...They what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza nodded proudly. \"Yep. Two days of studying with corpses. You can too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly the elders straightened like disciplined soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Patriarch learned this way... then we must endure as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. We cannot fall behind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will study diligently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled from the side. \"Glad to see you’re motivated now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a43ff790f14f23f22b613b0afc3c7f22de117db5c5257f3093625bc553cac12","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-218","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-216",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
