From what I sense, its structure is extremely close to that of a beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"Body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head. \"You mean my[Unique Physique]?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Eldrin answered immediately. \"That is exactly it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly. \"Alright. Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin took a breath. \"Beasts are born strong. Mana flows through our bodies naturally, without effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We do not need complex cultivation methods. We grow stronger simply by living long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden listened closely. Dion leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your body,\" Eldrin continued, \"feels the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mana moves through it passively. You are not forcing it. You are not guiding it through fixed channels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned. \"In fact, your body is even more efficient than that of ordinary beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s lips curved upward. \"So my body is better than a beast’s?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin hesitated, then nodded. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly. \"That’s interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin’s gaze sharpened. \"If you are not a beast, then tell me. How did you turn your body into something like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion answered without hesitation. \"Training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin blinked. \"Training... your body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin frowned deeply. \"Explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion walked a few steps forward, then turned back, clearly settling into teacher mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how normal human cultivators work, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They absorb mana. Awaken meridians. Form a mana pool. Condense a mana core. Build a domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct,\" Garion said. \"And that’s where the problem is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked. \"Problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved a hand. \"Too complicated. Too wasteful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin stared. \"Wasteful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Garion replied calmly. \"Humans already have a perfectly good system in their bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his arm. \"Blood vessels. Cells. Muscles. Bones. Organs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion’s eyes widened slightly. \"Oh. That again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued, \"Traditional cultivation builds special channels just to move mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why create something new when the body already has a delivery system everywhere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin slowly straightened. \"So you did not create a mana pool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Garion said. \"I made every cell capable of absorbing mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t guide mana through one place,\" Garion went on. \"You let the whole body absorb it naturally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin stared at him, eyes widening. \"...To think you managed to do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a slow breath. \"At this point... you are no longer humans in the normal sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion stiffened. Arden frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin continued carefully, \"You are closer to beasts in human form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched his chin, then shrugged. \"You could say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly laughed, loud and carefree. \"Or let’s just say we’re gods evolved from humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed through the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden sighed and rubbed his forehead. \"Don’t mind him. He always talks like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced at him. \"Hey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Eldrin, his expression turning sharper. \"So. Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded once. \"Because I acknowledge your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"And?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I need your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned slightly. \"Help? With what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Eldrin could answer, Arden stepped forward. \"Master, let me explain the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion held up a hand. \"Short version.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded. \"There is something like a treasure realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes lit up. \"Treasure realm? Wow. It’s been a long time since I heard that term.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden continued, \"But this one is not normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the distant forest. \"You can’t enter it. And demonic mana keeps leaking out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smile faded. \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded slowly. \"So the demonic mana corrupts beasts and turns them into demonic beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin blinked. \"You understood that immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Same logic. Bad environment creates bad adaptations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded. \"That dragon here,\" he said, gesturing to Eldrin, \"and the others sealed that place a long time ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But recently,\" Arden continued, \"the seal has become unstable. They’re worried it might break completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms. \"And you want help stabilizing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Eldrin said firmly. \"Or destroying it, if necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked thoughtful for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm... demonic treasure realm,\" he muttered. \"Unstable seal. Corrupted ecosystem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled again, this time with interest. \"Yeah. That is really interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden let out a small breath of relief. \"Then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed at him. \"Call the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked. \"The others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"If we’re going to deal with something that messes up an entire island, this isn’t a one-man problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded immediately. \"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and was already preparing to move, but Eldrin spoke again before anyone could leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin’s gaze stayed on Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human,\" Eldrin said slowly, \"you really are different from every human I have ever met.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion paused and looked back. \"Different how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin tilted his head slightly. \"I do not know why. But everything about you feels... out of place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion frowned. \"Out of place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Eldrin continued. \"Your thinking. Your methods. Even the way you treat power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer. \"It feels as if you are not from this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden turned around sharply. \"Wait. What did you just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at Eldrin. \"How do you know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin’s eyes widened slightly. \"So it is true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion looked between them, stunned. \"Master...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin exhaled slowly. \"I see. No wonder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder you can do all of this,\" Eldrin said. \"You are an otherworlder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"You know that term?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked thoughtful. \"I have only encountered one before. A very long time ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms. \"And?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That one also changed the world around them,\" Eldrin replied. \"Not with raw strength, but with ideas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden swallowed. \"Just like Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched his head. \"I didn’t expect ancient beasts to be this sharp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin gave a small smile. \"We live long. We notice patterns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed, looking back at Eldrin.\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","9eb91d3d7804ca804439e449d62d2f4f924420db27f22991f5a95fc1ce787279","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-297","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-295",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
