Don’t lie down! We need space!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall smelled like sweat, panic, and crushed egos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at the far side, the twins stood with stiff backs and awkward faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the person in front of them was Rachel, their mother figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar scratched his cheek nervously. \"Uh... mom... are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor held his hands up like he was approaching a wild animal. \"We’re going to, uh... crush your mana core now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled warmly, the same gentle smile that raised them from chaos to decent human beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright, boys. Do what you need to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar’s expression cramped. \"Mom... don’t say it like you’re sacrificing yourself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor swallowed. \"We can...

Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both twins froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Rynar clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alright. Mom... I’m destroying it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor held her steady, whispering, \"Brace yourself, Mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar pushed his mana into her core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s body jerked violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAAHHHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her scream echoed through the training hall like someone tore the world in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some froze mid-cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor tightened his grip on her shoulders. \"Mom! Quickly! Use it! Pull the mana into the cell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gritted her teeth so hard her jaw shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Damn... that hurts... okay... I’m... I’m doing it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar pressed closer. \"Follow the flow! Push everything into the new cell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s legs trembled. She dropped to one knee but kept her focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath came out in sharp bursts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa... haa...! I can feel it! The cell... it’s eating everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor shouted, \"Good! Force it! Don’t let the mana scatter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s hands slammed onto the floor as she leaned forward, veins standing out along her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s... transforming! I can feel it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar’s eyes widened. \"Mom! Hold it! Just a bit more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy surged through her body, bright and wild, swirling like wind around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glow pulsed under her skin at her abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel clenched her fists, her voice shaking, half-screaming, half-growling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C-COME ON!! FINISH IT!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of soft light spread around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel collapsed onto her hands, breathing hard but with a small grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s done,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins knelt beside her instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grabbed her arm. \"Mom! You okay?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor cupped her back. \"Say something!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel raised a shaky thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m... fine... stronger... but you two... are grounded later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both twins exhaled in relief... then froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...We’re WHAT?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel weakly flicked Rynar’s forehead again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You made your mother scream louder than childbirth. Of course you’re grounded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins groaned at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden snorted from a few steps away, arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what you two get.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza chuckled, adjusting an elder’s posture. \"Yep. Never mess with a mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara grinned wide. \"Especially that mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia walked over with quick steps, holding a small cup filled with something suspiciously thick and oddly colored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Rachel, drink this,\" she said, handing it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel accepted it with a warm smile. \"Thank you, dear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took one sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression instantly twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Ugh... why... Why is it always this horrible...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia laughed, hands on her hips. \"Because if it tasted good, it wouldn’t work. Just finish it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gulped it down with a full-body shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I survived the core destruction, but this... this might actually kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins nodded in agreement, whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. That’s the real torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia shot them a look. They both instantly straightened like soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now...\" Dahlia turned sharply to the elders behind her, clapping her hands once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back to training! You, lift that weight higher. No slacking. And you... push more! Elbows straight! I said straight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders groaned miserably but moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden helped one of them up, steady and calm. \"Keep breathing. Slow and steady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara nudged another elder with her foot. \"Come on, old man! If you can complain, you can lift!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar and Rynor exchanged glances and sighed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor whispered, \"We created monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar nodded. \"Master made them this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed at the twins without even turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two! Stop whispering! Go help the next group!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ma’am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel watched them all with a tired but fond smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...So this is the God Gym...? Loud... exhausting... a little insane...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her trembling hands, then at the glowing mana swirling faintly around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...But it feels alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glanced back at her and softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to the real family, Elder Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happy to be here... even if everything hurts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","32f8a766dcb4e2c7e4605c69e527117f184447d267c6525b94e0fd16a612ac57","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-224","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-222",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
