The sphere cracked with green lightning from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel winced so hard he almost folded in half. \"Yep. There it is. Melody.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another sharp scream echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded approvingly. \"Good projection. Strong lungs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s voice came out strained, shaking with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DAMN IT! THIS...THIS HURTS MORE THAN ANYTHING!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted toward the sphere, his voice cracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t I tell you before?! It’s painful! It’s REALLY DAMN PAINFUL!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s voice shot back instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SHUT UP, RAVIEL!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled under his breath. \"Both of you are very lively. Good sign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new wave of mana pulsed from the sphere as green vines of energy whipping out before snapping back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline screamed again, louder this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel shook his head, sighing dramatically. \"Just scream! It helps! Trust me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline roared in agony from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THAT DOESN’T HELP AT ALL!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched her closely, his smirk widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang in there, Aveline. When the pain hits the peak... that’s when the real awakening starts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel glanced at him. \"You said the same thing to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged like it was nothing. \"Because it’s true. Pain is the doorway. You two are just... kicking it open very loudly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned. \"Loudly? She’s screaming like the sky is falling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the sphere, Aveline’s voice cracked through again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"IF I LIVE THROUGH THIS... GARION... I’M... KILLING... YOU!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly. \"She’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stared at him like he was insane. \"This is what you call fine?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only focused on the sphere, watching how the green energy twisted and folded over itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes dragged into an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s screams gradually weakened... not because the pain stopped, but because she was running out of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel took a hesitant step forward. \"Should we... should we help her? Stabilize her? Something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a hand calmly, stopping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Touch that sphere and you’ll get sent flying. Let her finish it herself. This part... must be done alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel bit his lip but stepped back again, fists tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Come on, Aveline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere suddenly bulged outward, as if something inside was forcing its way through. Green cracks shot across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracks spread rapidly... Thin lines at first, then thick fractures glowing with blinding vitality energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel swallowed hard. \"It’s cracking... This is the same stage I reached before mine exploded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Exactly. The body is rewriting itself. When the sphere can’t contain the transformation anymore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracks widened. Bits of green energy peeled away like shedding skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stepped back. \"Oh-oh, it’s breaking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere shattered completely, bursting into a cloud of bright green motes that scattered across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the center...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline stepped out, gasping for breath, steam rising from her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair had turned a vivid, lively green, glowing faintly at the tips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elegant green tattoos wrapped around her arms and down her sides, pulsing with soft light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked proudly. \"Not bad. Very not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline threw her hands up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FINALLY. I’M DONE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs wobbled, but she stayed upright. Raviel rushed over to steady her, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look... completely different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glared at Garion, cheeks flushed with lingering pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion... THAT WAS TOO DAMN PAINFUL. You didn’t warn me enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged lightly, hands in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did. You just didn’t believe me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline stomped once, then winced because even stomping hurt. \"Still! That was insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Of course it was. Awakening a[Unique Physique]isn’t supposed to feel like a massage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned and rubbed her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh... What even is mine? I felt something inside me click.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded toward her tattoos. \"Go on. Say it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline took a breath, straightening her posture proudly despite the exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It should be the same as Arden’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green light shimmered faintly around her as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Nature Physique].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked. \"Just like Arden? But yours looks... stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline smirked weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I am the Matriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the spirit. Both of you finally awakened your real physiques. Now the fun part starts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel and Aveline exchanged a tired look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned dangerously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion snapped his fingers, and two strange-looking bottles appeared in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Since both of you awakened your[Unique Physiques], it’s time for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel groaned instantly. \"I knew it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But first... drink this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shoved the red-yellow bottle into Raviel’s hands. The liquid inside bubbled like lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline received the green one, gentle-looking... but somehow suspiciously bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion introduced them proudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raviel, that’s a mix of[Flame Creatine Shake]and[Thunder Creatine Shake]. Aveline, yours is the[Nature Creatine Shake].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stared at his bottle like it was poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Garion. Do I really have to drink this again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a brow. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline blinked. \"What’s the problem? It’s just a drink, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted hers casually and took a big sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two seconds...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline suddenly jerked, face twisting, and nearly spat it all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion moved instantly, covering her mouth with his hand. \"Nope. You swallow that. Do not waste my supplements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glared at him with watery eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garion! What the hell is this? How can something taste THIS bitter?! It feels like it’s killing my tongue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled warmly, as if giving her a compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a special potion to restore your energy after awakening. Gets your body ready for training. Totally safe. Probably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline slapped his hand away, coughing. \"You’re insane...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed at Raviel. \"Your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel winced, lifted the bottle, and forced himself to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the liquid touched his tongue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GHHHH!\" His whole body shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s spicy... and sour... WHY BOTH?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion patted his shoulder proudly. \"Good, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! It’s horrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed, stepping back with his hands on his hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. If the taste shocks your system, it means the supplement is strong. Think of it as... flavor-based motivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline massaged her forehead. \"You and your stupid logic...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel coughed again, fanning his burning mouth. \"Is this really necessary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded without an ounce of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, absolutely. You both awakened your physiques, but your bodies are unstable. These shakes force your physique to settle properly. After this, you can finally train at full power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cracked his neck and grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that your bodies are warmed up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Raviel and Aveline froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stretched his arms casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s time to start hell training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline whispered to Raviel, voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I think we made a mistake joining God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel whispered back, \"...We definitely did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","c7572937b0bface5631a3c135d1efb298943b4624065f6a96700597db1a15f5e","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-222","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-220",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
