I’m finally here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms and frowned, eyes tracing the distance to the water. It was higher than he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how am I supposed to breathe down there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Use mana to cover your body. Or open your domain.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s frown deepened. He shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That defeats the purpose,\" he muttered. \"I didn’t come here to make things easier. I came to evolve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Then the only thing you can do... is endure it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue, irritation flickering across his face. \"...Yeah. Figures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer to the edge, peering down once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drop looked even steeper now. His chest tightened for a moment, but he forced himself to stay still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his shoulders, trying to loosen the tension, then took a slow, deep breath. The air filled his lungs, steadying his nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... no turning back now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, he hesitated just enough to feel the weight of the decision. Then he jumped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion quickly fell deep into the ocean, feeling the pressure build around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at just fifty meters, his body had already begun to tighten. His muscles tensed, and his chest felt heavy, but it still wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let himself sink further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one hundred meters, the pressure became more noticeable. It pressed against his skin and crept inward, testing his limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he wasn’t satisfied. He needed more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to go deeper,\" he muttered to himself, bubbles slipping from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to change his mana into a divine one. He wanted to become a god. A mere hundred meters would never be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he descended again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At five hundred meters, his body nearly gave out. The pressure wrapped around him like an invisible force, squeezing tighter with every second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to lift his arm just a little, but it barely moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body tightened from the inside, his muscles locking as if they were resisting something unseen. Still, he refused to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one kilometer deep, the pressure became overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pushed against his organs, pressing into his chest and abdomen as if trying to crush him from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp ache spread through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gritted his teeth. \"This... still isn’t enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to become a god, how could he fail at something like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he forced himself deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At two kilometers, the pressure turned brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if the ocean itself wanted to crush him into nothing. His bones creaked, and his body trembled under the strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of his mana cells reacted at once, pushing outward, resisting the crushing force that tried to collapse him inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His control wavered for a moment, and he clenched his fists, focusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he truly realize how dangerous this training was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The deepest ocean... is around eleven kilometers,\" he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down into the dark abyss below him. It stretched endlessly, silent and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’m only at two... and it’s already like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of doubt crept into his mind. He could die here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, slowly, he smirked. \"This is exactly what I need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion steadied himself, forcing his body to stabilize at two kilometers deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing had long since become irregular, his chest tight under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite everything, he wasn’t suffocating. \"...Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused, sensing the flow of mana within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With careful control, he began drawing oxygen from the water itself, filtering it through his mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened slightly in realization. \"So I don’t need to worry about breathing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small, relieved exhale escaped him. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all he had to do was endure and go deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the God Island, the training hall was loud again as Rachel joined the session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped inside, glanced at the disciples, and frowned. \"Do it again. What exactly are you doing when I’m not here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara, already sweating and catching her breath, groaned. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come on, Miss Rachel. Wehavebeen training hard, even when you’re gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel raised an eyebrow and folded her arms. \"Is that so? Then why can’t you bench-press four tons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara frowned, straightening up a little. \"Miss, I already lifted it for two sets. That already pushed me past my limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel shook her head. \"That’s not an excuse. Now watch me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting, she walked to the bench and lay down. The metal creaked softly as she adjusted herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached up and gripped the bar. The total weight stacked on it was five tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden crossed his arms, watching closely. \"Miss Rachel, it’s been a week since you last trained. Isn’t that a bit too heavy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled, her expression calm and confident. \"Don’t worry, Arden. I feel good, better than before. This will be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor laughed loudly from the side. \"Hah! As expected of our trainer. Going all out right after recovering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel ignored him and focused. She inhaled slowly, steadying herself, then pushed the bar upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bar rose smoothly. She was not shaking or even hesitating. It was just a clean bench press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered it carefully, paused for a breath, then pushed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly open.What the hell? How is this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar and Rynor exchanged stunned looks. Even they hadn’t expected this. Their mother... was this strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped closer, watching Rachel’s form with sharp focus, ready to assist if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rachel didn’t need help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued pressing, each rep as steady as the last. The rhythm never broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing stayed even. The bar moved like it weighed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara took a step forward without realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifteen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor stopped laughing, his grin fading into quiet disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel lifted the bar one last time, then racked it with a solid clang. She sat up calmly, as if she had just finished a warm-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara stood frozen, staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is happening?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","27cfb5f034e19043dc846f3b8f9452dc622d63da8e50aaa2b81ac6aa52937b1b","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-515","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-513",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
