Some quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly. Then something crossed his mind. \"...Did Sianor send it already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached to the side, picked up his grand phone, and checked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new notification was already there. \"...Right on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened it. It was a copy of a Fourth Realm cultivation manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes widened slightly as he skimmed through it. \"...Damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He read a few lines, then nodded to himself. \"Not bad at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting time, he opened the chat and sent a message. \"Thanks. I got the file.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short pause. \"Sorry for the late reply. I had something to deal with this past week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise... A reply came almost immediately. \"Don’t worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at the screen for a second. \"...That was fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He typed again. \"No, I still owe you one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another short pause. \"Come to Muscle God Island this Sunday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added, \"Rachel and I are getting married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Sianor paused for a moment. \"...You’re getting married this Sunday? What the hell? Didn’t we just finish a war?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reply came quickly after. \"Isn’t that a bit rushed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a short laugh as he read it. \"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back slightly, typing as he spoke under his breath. \"That war was barely a warm-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued typing. \"It didn’t matter. And Rachel wanted it to happen as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Sianor replied again. \"I see. Then congratulations, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a short pause before the next line appeared. \"To think you managed to marry her... She’s quite beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed and typed back. \"Haha, thanks, Sianor. She’d be happy to hear that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a second, then added another line. \"By the way, can you call the others too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Sianor raised a brow. \"The others? You mean the other Grand factions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded to himself as he replied. \"Yeah. The Supreme Root Sect, the Night Pleasure Sect, and the Drakenfel Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued. \"They helped in the war, so of course I’m inviting them too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added one more line. \"Let’s make the wedding more proper. A bit more festive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor read the message, then nodded slightly. \"Alright. Don’t worry about it. I’ll inform them to attend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back a little, satisfied. \"Good. Thanks for that, Sianor. I’ll see you this Sunday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor replied shortly after. \"Okay. See you then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another line appeared. \"Make sure to prepare enough food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"You got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sat at his desk, staring at the copy of the Fourth Realm cultivation manual on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he read it carefully, slowly, and seriously. He wasn’t skimming anymore. He was studying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he tapped his finger lightly against the table. \"...Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back slightly and started organizing his thoughts. \"Let’s break this down from the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at the screen. \"The first realm... Mana Refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke quietly to himself. \"That’s where a person builds a mana pool and a mana vessel to store mana inside the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he continued. \"The second realm... Mana Core. That’s where the mana pool is compressed and hardened into a core, resulting in a mana trait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the table again. \"Then the third realm... Domain Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the ceiling for a second. \"That’s where they expand outward... using mana to affect the surroundings and turn it into their own domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused. Then his expression shifted. \"...And then comes the problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze returned to the screen. \"The Fourth Realm. The so-called... Perfection Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a short laugh. \"To think it’s not about improving the domain or the mana...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone turned dry. \"...but strengthening the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back further. \"No wonder lower factions never reach it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head. \"Their entire understanding is off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the manual again and sighed. \"...But even this... This isn’t real body refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scrolled slightly, reviewing the method again. \"To even begin, you need a perfect domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered. \"A thousand meters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers tapped lightly again. \"Then you start consuming your own domain... bit by bit... Absorbing it into your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused. \"The domain gets smaller. Eventually, it disappears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly. \"And in return... the body gets stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another pause. \"...Sounds good on paper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he frowned slightly. \"But that’s the problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward a bit. \"They call this body refinement... but the body is only getting the leftovers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the table once. \"To put it simply... The domain’s mana is first used to refine the mana vessel and the core. Only what remains is used for the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head. \"That’s not body refinement. That’s mana refinement with a side effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back again. \"...So even if they call it the Perfection Realm... It’s only perfect in terms of mana. Not the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes. \"...Still... The body ends up strong enough to handle a fully developed core and vessel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms. \"Strong enough to survive extreme environments... even outer space or other worlds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a quiet breath. \"...But it’s still a glass cannon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence settled in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion closed the file on his phone. Then he stared at the screen for a moment. \"...So what about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the desk, the other tapping lightly against the armrest. \"My cultivation is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke quietly, thinking it through step by step. \"The God Physique Path is built around the body from the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, choosing his words more carefully. \"Even though our third realm is a domain, it’s not really a domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened slightly. \"It’s not an external field we expand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his chest. \"It’s internal strength leaking outward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small pause. \"Our body becomes so strong that it naturally suppresses the surroundings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled. \"That’s why we can interfere with other domains so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers drummed slowly against the table. \"But because of that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"...The range is limited. About a hundred meters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward now, elbows on the desk. \"If I follow their method...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the phone. \"It won’t change anything... I need to think about it more carefully now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","2635e2d5e9216ecf23dfe287ef60c8d0395b50c2ac213682d21a95b163cbd415","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-495","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-181",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
