The ground beneath their feet was tinted red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trees lining the road carried faint crimson leaves, and even the clothes worn by the people passing by shared the same color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked calmly, some carrying equipment, others stretching or talking as they moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their outfits were practical, almost uniform-like, and unmistakably red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona frowned slightly. \"Why is everything red?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric glanced back at them and smiled. \"Because this is the[Flame God Island].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan let out a low chuckle. \"That explains a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric gestured around them as they continued walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The God Archipelago is made up of many islands, but there are three main ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a finger. \"[Flame God Island].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another finger. \"[Thunder God Island].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third. \"[Nature God Island].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona listened closely, eyes sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The difference,\" Rendric continued, \"is the type of mana each island is saturated with. Each one favors a different path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the ground lightly with his foot. \"As for the colors, they’re intentional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan raised an eyebrow. \"Intentional?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Rendric replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To make each island distinct. One glance is enough to know where you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan laughed loudly and stretched his arms. \"No wonder I feel so energized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist, flames flickering faintly around his knuckles. \"This place suits me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona, on the other hand, slowed her breathing. Her shoulders stiffened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That explains it,\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric looked at her. \"Something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona shook her head once. \"Ice and fire don’t mix.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled slowly. \"No wonder my stamina is draining faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan glanced at her and grinned. \"Hah! Guess this island isn’t welcoming everyone equally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona shot him a cold look. \"Don’t get smug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric smiled faintly as he led them onward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed through several wide corridors before finally stopping in front of the largest building on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stood taller than the rest, solid and simple, with thick walls and broad doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan tilted his head up, eyes gleaming. \"So this is where the two of them are, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded. \"Yes. Please, follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped inside, and the doors closed behind him with a quiet thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the floor beneath their feet began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona’s eyes narrowed. She shifted her stance slightly. \"We’re moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan looked down, then laughed. \"Hah! What kind of magic item is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric didn’t answer right away. He only smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space continued upward smoothly, without shaking or noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona watched carefully. \"...This isn’t a teleportation array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Rendric said calmly. \"It’s just an elevator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan blinked. \"Just?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either of them could question further, the movement stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors slid open to reveal a massive hallway and a single large door at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric walked up and placed a hand on it. When the door opened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heat rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Raviel Revalis and Aveline Avenora were training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel was shirtless, sweat dripping down his body as flames rolled across his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline stood across from him, calm and steady, green mana flowing smoothly around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stopped first. He glanced toward the door and laughed. \"Oh? Rendric?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline lowered her hands and turned. \"What brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric stepped aside. \"We have two rather important guests today. I’ll leave them to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without waiting for a reply, he turned and left, the door closing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stared at the door for a moment. \"...He ran away fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline sighed softly. \"He has a lot to handle. Let him be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel rolled his shoulders, then looked at the two figures standing there. \"Alright. Who are you two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan stepped forward, grin wide. \"Patriarch Raviel Revalis. Nice to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thumped a fist lightly against his chest. \"I’m Vargan, patriarch of the Vulkran Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Vulkran?\" Raviel said. \"The top flame berserker clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan nodded proudly. \"That’s the one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the surprise could fade, Sarona stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I am Sarona,\" she said calmly. \"Matriarch of the Shivera Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, both of them went still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Shivera,\" Aveline said quietly. \"The top matriarch clan of ice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel stared at them, then laughed once, sharp and disbelieving. \"You’ve got to be kidding me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock wasn’t just who they were...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the fact that the patriarch of the Vulkran Clan and the matriarch of the Shivera Clan were standing side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For decades, their clans had clashed again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battles that ended in blood, grudges that never faded, and hatred passed down through generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, here they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel slowly exhaled, trying to steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer to Aveline and lowered his voice. \"Do you know why they’re here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline didn’t even look at him. \"If you don’t know,\" she replied quietly, \"how should I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at him. \"We’re now one clan, not a separate clan like before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel blinked, then let out a small laugh. \"Oh. Right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened his posture and faced the two guests properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" he said, clearing his throat, \"standing around like this isn’t very comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward the inner room. \"Please, follow us inside. It’ll be easier to talk there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarona gave a brief nod, her expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vargan shrugged and grinned. \"Sure. Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline turned and began walking, her steps calm and unhurried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel followed beside her, still stealing quick glances back at the two figures behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the doors closed and the group moved deeper inside, one thing was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meeting was no coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whatever reason had brought fire and ice together...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was going to change something.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","94828909bb9af3409d44d930e897e12b7704d0c98c005fe108fc91cc1d90ef4a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-33","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-32",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
