Done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stared at him. \"Done what? You just awakened, and now you’re grabbing a drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion glanced back and smirked. \"Drink this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the bottle out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden hesitated, then took it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the familiar label and frowned. \"Isn’t this the wine you brewed before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted the bottle slightly. \"I’ve drunk this plenty of times already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just drink it,\" Dion said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden raised an eyebrow. \"You’re acting suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he lifted the bottle and took a mouthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the wine touched his tongue, his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze, then took another sip without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, this is wrong,\" Arden muttered. \"How can it taste like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine was smoother. Sweeter, but not heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flavor was deeper and richer, like it had been aged far longer than it should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s better,\" Arden said slowly. \"Not just a little. Way better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered the bottle and stared at it. \"It tastes like it’s been aged for years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his eyes snapped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Don’t tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion nodded once. \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden swallowed. \"Your[Unique Physique]...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is[Wine],\" Dion said plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stood there in silence for a few seconds, processing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he let out a breath. \"I can’t believe there’s a[Unique Physique]like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head. \"Still... I guess it makes sense. Your family is Dulcoria, after all. Famous wine makers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion’s smile faded just a little. \"Don’t lump me in with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re specialists,\" Dion continued. \"Great brewers, sure. But this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chest. \"This isn’t just wine making.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer, voice confident. \"My[Unique Physique]is[Wine]itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden felt it then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body felt... lighter. His breathing is smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soreness from guarding Dion for hours had faded without him noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked and flexed his fingers. \"Wait. My body...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You feel it, right?\" Dion said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded slowly. \"My fatigue’s almost gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion straightened, clearly pleased. \"I can accelerate aging. Improve flavor. Balance the properties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added casually, \"And now my wine has healing effects too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s head snapped up. \"Healing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not instant miracles,\" Dion said. \"But enough to help recovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stared at the bottle like it had turned into a treasure. \"That’s ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Dion replied proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he laughed and waved a hand. \"So do me a favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden looked up. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help me ask Master for better fruits,\" Dion said. \"If I get good ingredients...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then grinned wider. \"I can brew wines that at least lessen the damage after drinking those horrendous supplements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory of[Demonic Protein]flashed through his mind... the bitterness, the nausea, the regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly looked back down at the bottle in his hands, then up at Dion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I’ll talk to him,\" he said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion let out a satisfied chuckle and nodded. \"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his arms and rolled his shoulders. \"I’ll make sure there’s plenty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden shook his head with a helpless smile. \"You really are dangerous in your own way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion smirked. \"Just wait until everyone realizes it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stood there quietly for a moment, the forest calm once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin and Silvar stood facing each other in the quiet depths beneath Demon Gate Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin broke the silence first. \"Why haven’t the other three awakened yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar’s ears twitched slightly. He didn’t look away. \"It’s already been a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin exhaled slowly. \"Bastor and Varyn are the most important link of the seal. They can’t awaken freely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He folded his arms, expression calm but clearly annoyed. \"And Cindor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then shook his head. \"That one always burns everything before sleeping. There’s never anything left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar let out a quiet snort. \"That bird never changes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin clicked his tongue. \"So what do you expect them to do? Wake up faster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar crossed his arms. \"No. I expect patience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin glanced aside. \"Patience is easy to say when nothing is cracking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar’s gaze sharpened. \"The seal is stable. Barely. That’s enough for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin was silent for a moment, then spoke again. \"Then what about the humans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar’s eyes narrowed slightly. \"What about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we go meet them?\" Eldrin asked. \"Or do we just keep waiting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar didn’t answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The humans this time are different,\" Eldrin continued. \"You’ve felt it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar finally nodded. \"I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head slightly, as if watching something far away. \"I’ve been observing them these past days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And?\" Eldrin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t cultivate like normal humans,\" Silvar said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They treat their bodies like weapons. Like tools. Like something meant to be rebuilt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin’s expression darkened. \"Just like I said before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar continued, \"They advance too fast. And they don’t rely on domains the way they should.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin clenched his jaw. \"That makes them dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Silvar agreed. \"And unpredictable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\" Eldrin asked at last. \"Do we approach them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar shook his head. \"Not yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We watch,\" Silvar said. \"We learn. If we act too soon, we reveal ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded slowly. \"Caution, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvar’s voice dropped. \"Because if these humans notice us first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t finish the sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin didn’t need him to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the God Archipelago, two figures had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a man with a massive build and short red hair, his presence alone making the air feel heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his shoulders once, cracking his neck as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood a woman with long white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was cold and unreadable, eyes sharp as she quietly took in the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man let out a low chuckle. \"So this is the famous God Archipelago that recently appeared, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked, gaze sweeping across the distant islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place feels... interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",994,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","684a4f11c0e35810866815ff1e13544c396af702364f7bcac35814af3e275530","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-31","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-30",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
