I already checked him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He folded his hands behind his back. \"He’s injured, but nothing serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a quiet sigh. \"That’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back toward the arena, then shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That last exchange was dangerous,\" Garion said. \"Fortunately, Dahlia still held back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien stopped walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...She held back?\" he asked, clearly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced toward where Dahlia was standing with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She didn’t fully use her dragon power. And she didn’t release everything she had.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien’s eyes narrowed slightly. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled. \"No wonder. I felt something strange during the fight. Like there was more pressure she never released.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"That’s normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added, \"Still, Sindral did well. He managed to push her far enough to make her that angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion paused, then frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to be honest,\" he said, \"what was that skill of his?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Sorien directly. \"It actually injured Dahlia. You know... her body is currently the strongest in God Gym after me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien chuckled softly. \"It’s nothing special, Sir Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up toward the sky. \"The sunlight on this island is almost as good as the sunlight within our clan’s territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued calmly, \"The stronger the sunlight, the stronger that skill becomes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly. \"I see. No wonder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this were a normal island,\" Sorien added, \"he would’ve lost much earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded again. \"Still, he’s quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Sorien could reply, footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia and Mersha walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stopped in front of Sorien and spoke calmly. \"Sir Sorien, please give this to Sindral.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded toward Mersha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha held out a small bottle filled with thick green liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s injured,\" Dahlia added. \"This will help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien looked down at the potion. \"...What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha smiled brightly. \"A healing potion made specifically for solar-element cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien blinked. \"...You have that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Mersha more closely. \"Are you an alchemist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha nodded proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Sindral is a Third Realm cultivator,\" Sorien said carefully. \"Will this really work on him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Mersha replied without hesitation. \"I’m really good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"It works for me too. Just give it to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien stared at the potion, frowning slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Sorien had noticed something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the small girl mentioned potions, several God Gym disciples had reacted with clear fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone made him hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the green potion in Mersha’s hands again. The liquid inside was thick, almost unnaturally so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still... judging by God Gym’s overall personality and strength, poisoning someone here made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reason for them to do something so petty after already winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen Dahlia drink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought tipped the scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Is this safe?\" Sorien asked carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia looked at him like he had just asked something obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" she said. \"You saw me drink it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added with a frown, \"It’s just the taste that’s bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pieces clicked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Gym was a new faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their methods were different. Their training was extreme. Their recovery methods were probably the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t afraid of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were afraid offlavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Grand Factions like Solmira drank potions regularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some tasted bitter, some metallic, some unpleasant, but nothing truly shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien nodded slowly. \"I see. So it’s just the taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that settled, Sorien turned and called over one of his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give this to Sindral,\" he said. \"Tell him to drink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Solmira member accepted the bottle and hurried off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia watched him go, a mischievous smile slowly spreading across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sindral, still leaning against two of his companions, accepted the potion with a confused look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What is this?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Solmira member replied honestly, \"The God Gym gave it to you. They say it’s a healing potion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sindral frowned. \"A healing potion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rarely relied on potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed discipline and light purification were enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after today’s fight, reality had hit hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Is it safe?\" Sindral asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The member nodded. \"Sir Sorien said it should be fine. He only warned that it might taste bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sindral hesitated, then sighed. \"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He uncorked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And drank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sindral’s face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia burst out laughing. \"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien stiffened. \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Garion immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled calmly. \"Don’t worry. It’s just the taste. How could we poison him when you’re standing right here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien didn’t answer right away. His eyes narrowed, and he rushed back to Sindral’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\" he asked, placing a hand on Sindral’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sindral tried to respond, but his mouth opened and closed uselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Bitter,\" he croaked at last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien blinked. \"That’s it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned deeply. \"How can taste alone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped mid-sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity won over caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien dipped a finger into the bottle and tasted a single drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face went stiff. His brows twitched. His shoulders tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What the hell,\" Sorien muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened slowly, his complexion noticeably paler than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of potion is this...?\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward Garion, disbelief clear in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This is worse than ours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Dahlia covered her mouth, shoulders shaking as she tried not to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha looked proud. \"I improved it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien stared at her. \"...Improved?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Mersha said cheerfully. \"More efficient. Faster absorption. Better regeneration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head. \"Taste wasn’t a priority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"Effectiveness first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sindral finally managed to breathe properly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat ran down his temple, but the burns on his body were already fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His posture straightened little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Annoying sect,\" he muttered weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned. \"You’re welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien let out a long breath and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","1440beaf66435096b7c388c3a74a927f3a19ae89668404db973833daa62ad468","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-380","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-378",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
