All three of them had the same expression. Serious and tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not what he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned slightly. \"...Why do all of you look like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced between them. \"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor let out a low breath and rubbed his forehead once before lowering his hand. \"...It’s not as simple as you think, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked directly at him. \"The fourth realm... is one of the highest-level secrets among Grand Factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clark nodded slightly. \"Not even all Grand Factions know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone stayed calm. \"Only the stronger ones are aware of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"Draconia was one of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren’s usual smile faded a little. \"And yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms loosely. \"A demonic faction like Black Chimera already knows about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced to the side. \"Not just knows... They even have members who have reached that level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s gaze hardened. \"...That’s the real problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back to Garion. \"Do you understand what that means now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t answer immediately. But his expression showed that he already understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor continued. \"You’ve already seen it. The power of something close to the fourth realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"For example... Darius. From what you said, he stepped into that threshold. Although only the entrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Garion steadily. \"And even then... he became strong enough that Dahlia had to rely on multiple high-grade potions... and a bit of luck to defeat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a short pause. \"And that’s with him lowering his guard. He’s not even dead. Just unconscious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s tone lowered slightly. \"And even that... was not even a fraction of what a true fourth realm cultivator can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clark nodded again. \"That’s why it’s considered a major secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Garion. \"Once you know about it... you start to understand how large the gap really is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stayed silent for a moment. Then he nodded slowly. \"...I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled once. \"Now I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at them again. \"So from your perspective... The Black Chimera isn’t something you can take lightly anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone sharpened slightly. \"They’re no longer just a lower Grand Faction. They’re already operating at a higher level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor nodded. \"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression remained firm. \"It’s been a long time since a demonic or corrupted faction reached this level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"...And this changes things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren let out a quiet breath, his usual relaxed attitude gone for the moment. \"...Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the empty battlefield in the distance. \"It won’t be peaceful anytime soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded once. \"Yeah, yeah. I get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a small breath. \"I understand how dangerous it is now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand slightly toward Sianor. \"Can you give me a fourth realm cultivation method or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor stayed silent for a moment, clearly thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sighed. \"I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Garion directly. \"But it won’t be anything special. It’ll just be the most standard one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"The kind Pelion mentioned. The glass cannon type.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked and shrugged. \"That’s fine. I’m not planning to use it anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his hand. \"I just want to study it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at all of them. \"You know how I work. I build my own cultivation paths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly. \"I just want to see what’s different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor nodded slowly. \"...Alright. I’ll send you a copy later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added calmly, \"A digital version. I’ll transfer it to your Grand Phone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled slightly. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms again. \"Then we’re done here, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor nodded. \"Yes. You can leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gave a short nod. \"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned without hesitation. \"Alright. Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back onto his flying ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others followed him without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the ship lifted into the air and began heading back toward God Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the flying ship, Garion and Rachel stood on the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind moved past them, steady and quiet after the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked at him, her expression softer than before. \"...Good job rejecting Floren’s invitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion snorted lightly. \"Of course. I’m not a pervert like him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added with a small smirk, \"...But I’m still a man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked, not expecting that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned his head and looked at her directly. \"...So.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step closer. \"Why don’t we make it official?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel froze. \"...What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled slightly, more serious this time. \"Come on. I’ve been sweet-talking you for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look away. \"But this time... I’m serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke clearly. \"Be my girlfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a second. \"... No. Better yet be my wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes widened. She didn’t move or speak and then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door behind them slammed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia, Clara, the twins, and the others stood there. All smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel turned quickly, her face already turning red. \"...What are you all doing here?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia waved casually. \"Just passing by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned. \"...Passing by doesn’t break the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara shrugged. \"It was already weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins nodded like it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at them for a second, then shook his head and turned back to Rachel. \"...Ignore them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped a little closer again. \"So. What’s your answer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel glanced at the others, still flustered. \"...They’re all here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t care. \"They’ll know sooner or later. Just answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel went quiet again. She looked at him. Then at the others. Still unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak, the twins walked forward. \"Just accept it, Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked. \"...Rynar? Rynor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar crossed his arms. \"You’ve taken care of us for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor nodded. \"You’re already like our mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar continued, \"So it’s time you think about yourself too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Garion. \"Master is strong. And reliable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor added, \"There’s no better choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked at them, clearly caught off guard. \"...You two...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Rynor tilted his head. \"But if you marry Master... does that make him our father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion snorted. \"Of course not. All of my disciples are my kids already. Marriage doesn’t change that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins looked at each other. \"...Oh. I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored them and looked back at Rachel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was calm. \"...So?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a small breath. Her shoulders relaxed slightly. \"...Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him properly this time. \"...Garion. I accept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara grinned immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel added softly, \"You even rejected Floren. That’s enough proof for me. You’re a good man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"Of course I am. I won’t make you regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clapped once. \"Finally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara laughed. \"That took long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins nodded in agreement. \"Congratulations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked down for a moment, still a bit shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stayed beside her, relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the ship continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce05083fe22018a71a8a854cb5f35485afdd22c76160c2a6844f905d65326b0a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-171","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-485",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
