Sounds like a new, interesting war is coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cracked his neck to the side. \"Hehe... time to show my strength again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say more, Mersha suddenly popped up from behind him, holding a small glass vial between her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, yeah, it’ll be interesting,\" she said, her eyes gleaming. \"So many new subjects... so many chances to test my potions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned closer to Valtor and tilted the vial toward him. \"How about you try this one? It’ll make you stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor immediately took a step back, raising a hand in refusal. \"No thanks. I’ll pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned slightly. \"I’d rather get stronger through training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, it wasn’t just pride. The effects were really impressive, sure, but the taste... he grimaced just thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tilted her head, her grin widening as she stepped closer again. \"Oh, come on, just one drop...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor narrowed his eyes and leaned away, keeping his distance. \"No. Give it to someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t stop. Instead, she followed him, still holding the vial up, her voice turning more insistent as she continued to nag him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden let out a quiet sigh, glancing briefly in their direction before looking back out at the sea. He chose not to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later, the flying ship began to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel carefully held Giselle in her arms as they walked down the ramp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She adjusted her grip slightly, making sure Giselle was comfortable before stepping onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they arrived, Rachel and the others stopped in place, visibly amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire place was bright, almost dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the buildings had open roofs, allowing sunlight to pour in freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm light spread across the stone paths and walls, making everything feel alive and radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked, her eyes widening as she looked around. \"It’s... really bright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded, a faint smile on her face. \"Of course it is. The Solmira Clan draws power from the sun. That’s why most of their buildings have open roofs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gestured upward as a beam of sunlight streamed through one of the structures. \"Around midday, it gets even brighter than this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others exchanged glances and nodded, taking in the explanation while still looking around in quiet awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the rest of them, Dahlia seemed completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former true heir of a grand faction, she was already familiar with places like this. Nothing here surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back to the group and gave a small wave, snapping them out of their daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. Let’s head to the meeting,\" she said casually. \"No need to stand here staring. Our God Gym is much better anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a soft breath and adjusted Giselle again before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others followed, still stealing a few curious glances at their surroundings as they walked inside after Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel and the others went inside and soon found Sorien. He had also seen them and walked toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment his eyes landed on Rachel, he froze. His gaze dropped to the baby in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute...\" he said, frowning slightly. \"Whose baby is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled, adjusting her hold on the child. \"She’s my daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien blinked once, then again, clearly thrown off. \"Your daughter? What the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed the back of his neck, still staring. \"Didn’t you just get married? It hasn’t even been a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added, more thoughtfully, \"And isn’t it supposed to be harder for people like us, with higher realms, to have children?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel met his gaze, her smile calm but a little playful. \"Let’s just say... things are a bit different. No need to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien studied her for a second longer, as if trying to piece it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he let out a quiet sigh and raised his hands slightly in surrender. \"Alright, alright. I won’t ask more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he stepped aside and gestured toward the hall. \"Come in. Everyone’s already inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded. \"Okay then, excuse us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she and the others walked past him and entered the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they stepped inside, they realized they didn’t recognize many of the people present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes moved quietly across the room, taking in unfamiliar faces one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like this meeting is more serious than we thought,\" she murmured under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others exchanged brief glances, their expressions tightening slightly as the weight of the situation began to settle in.\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","27b5b4631519c67748676ffe36d6ada80c1407be22dfd3373d50213257842d7c","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-518","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-516",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
