You could say... he created a grand clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes widened just a little. \"Grand clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion sucked in a breath and quickly turned to Garion. \"Master, let me explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved a hand. \"Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world,\" Dion said, \"powers are divided by rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He counted on his fingers. \"At the very top are grand powers. Grand clans. Grand sects. Things that even top clans don’t dare provoke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head. \"Then top clans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second rank,\" Dion answered immediately. \"Below grand. Then high, middle, and low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a low whistle. \"That big of a gap?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Dion said seriously. \"The difference is not just numbers. Its foundation, history, and monsters disguised as people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked back at Eldrin. \"So this otherworlder built something at the very top?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded slowly. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned. \"And no one talks about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion shook his head. \"Truthfully? Most people don’t even know grand powers exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head. \"For top clans, we only know two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned forward slightly. \"Only two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Dion replied. \"One is a sect. The other is a clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion straightened his back. \"Then tell me their names.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion looked up at the sky for a moment, clearly organizing his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his cheek, then nodded to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the sect... it’s called the[Supreme Root Sect].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion repeated it slowly. \"Supreme Root Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion nodded. \"Yeah. They believe strength is built from the foundation up. Everything starts from the root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured with his hands as he spoke, trying to explain it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone in that sect cultivates slower than almost anyone else in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"Slower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Way slower,\" Dion confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People from other sects break through realms while they’re still stabilizing the same level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned slightly. \"Then why are they considered grand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion smiled weakly. \"Because once they’re at the same level as you... they’re stronger. Much stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly. \"That makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion continued, \"That’s why they’re called Supreme Root. Everything they have is built from the ground up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back. \"Alright. How about the clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion’s expression shifted. \"The clan is called the[Solmira Clan].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head. \"Solmira.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re known as a holy clan,\" Dion explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light-based techniques. Purification. Suppression. Anti-demonic methods. Most people see them as righteous protectors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion narrowed his eyes. \"If they’re a holy clan, then why didn’t they destroy the Demon Gate on this island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dion could answer, Eldrin let out a quiet sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because we were already handling it,\" Eldrin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward him. \"That’s it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded. \"They observed the situation. They judged that the seal was stable enough. So they did nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned deeply. \"So unless people are dying in front of them, they won’t act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin did not argue. He simply nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue. \"That’s annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and crossed his arms. \"So even when there’s clear proof of danger, they choose to wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Eldrin replied. \"That is their way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared toward the forest where the Demon Gate lay hidden. His expression hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Dang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back and looked straight at Eldrin. \"Don’t worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin blinked. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion spoke plainly. \"The God Gym is on this island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms slightly. \"Which means this island is mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion’s eyes widened. \"Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued, voice steady. \"If something threatens my territory, I deal with it. I don’t wait for permission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin studied him closely. \"You speak as if your clan is stronger than a grand power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Not stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then corrected himself. \"Better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion let out a weak laugh. \"That’s... really arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Arrogance is only a problem when you can’t back it up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin stared at him for several seconds, then let out a slow breath. \"Your master truly is... interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly. \"And extremely confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion laughed again, louder this time. \"You get used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked back toward the forest. \"Grand sect. Grand clan. Demon Gate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cracked his knuckles. \"Doesn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The God Gym is here now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could respond, hurried footsteps echoed from the path leading into the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden had already come back, breathing slightly harder than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him were familiar figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia walked at the front with her usual confident stride, the twins followed close behind, and Clara and Eliza moved together, one noisy and one silent as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they stepped into the clearing, everything froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive azure dragon stood nearby, its presence pressing down on the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s jaw dropped. \"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor blinked. \"That’s big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar squinted. \"That’s not a training prop, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara leaned forward, eyes sparkling. \"Oho? A real one? Not an illusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza stopped moving entirely, her gaze fixed on the dragon, her body instinctively fading just a little as if ready to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon slowly turned its head, calm but overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins tensed at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Rynor said carefully, \"why is there a dragon in our yard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar added, \"And why does it look like it can step on us by accident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved a hand casually. \"Calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned. \"Calm down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Yes. Calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara crossed her arms. \"Master, you can’t just say ’calm down’ when there’s a legendary-looking dragon standing right there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion coughed. \"He flew here with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That did not help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia slowly turned her head toward Dion. \"You flew with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion nodded. \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor stared. \"How are you still alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar muttered, \"Unfair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed, stepping forward, and stood between his disciples and the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","e21a28979b5e041e9047d3097e02f03dba7b2bf10aff75eb3d85ef7995919f67","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-298","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-296",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
