Even Garion hasn’t stepped into the Fourth Realm yet... so how did she surpass her own master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha let out a bright, self-satisfied laugh, lifting her chin proudly. \"Hehe... it must be my elixir. I really am the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel rolled her eyes, though the tension in her expression didn’t ease. \"Is that seriously your explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha placed a hand on her hip. \"Of course. Don’t forget. I also helped with Giselle’s delivery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel exhaled slowly. \"You did make that part easier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added dryly, \"But it was terrifying having someone known as a maniac assist with the delivery. Never again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha grinned, unfazed. \"Oh, come on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel ignored her and turned back to Sianor. \"Sir Sianor... do you know what’s actually happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor shook his head slowly, his gaze still fixed ahead. \"Not exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms, deep in thought. \"This... has never happened before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Sianor exhaled. \"Without a Perfection Realm manual, a breakthrough like this shouldn’t even be possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shifted, then stilled on Mersha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned abruptly to Sorien. \"Sorien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien glanced back at him, calm as ever. \"What is it, Sovereign?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor met his gaze. \"The demonic dragon you killed, the one you handed over to God Gym. Which one was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien frowned slightly, searching his memory. Then he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not mistaken, it was Navrel, a demonic dragon duke sealed by the Draconia Clan decades ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his stance. \"When the seal broke, he was still weakened. I defeated him before he could fully recover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor fell silent, absorbing the information. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked between them, unease creeping into her expression. \"What does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor spoke slowly, choosing his words with care. \"I don’t think Dahlia was breaking through as a Perfection Realm cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel frowned, confusion deepening. \"Then what’s happening to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s gaze returned to the crater. \"Navrel’s bloodline... I believe it’s fusing with her own dragon bloodline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly before continuing. \"If her bloodline were compatible enough, that fusion could force a breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes widened. \"You’re saying...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor nodded once. \"She didn’t step into the Perfection Realm as a cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low rumble echoed again from within the crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor narrowed his eyes. \"She stepped into it as... a beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s expression tightened, uncertainty flickering across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t tell if this was a blessing or something far worse. \"Is that dangerous? Will she still be herself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t answer right away. His gaze remained fixed on the crater before he finally shook his head. \"I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm, but the uncertainty beneath it was unmistakable. \"This has never happened before. Not even once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced back toward the arena, his eyes narrowing slightly. \"And she absorbed the power of a demonic dragon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sigh escaped him. \"I’m concerned she might become one herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel drew in a slow breath, her fingers curling tightly at her side. \"Let’s just hope that’s not the case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor said nothing. His eyes remained locked on Dahlia, watching, waiting, for what would happen next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far below the surface...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen kilometers down, where light no longer existed, Garion stood alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was constant, crushing in from every direction, forcing his body inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles trembled as he held his stance, feet planted firmly against the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside him, countless cells pulsed with mana, working without rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They repaired, reinforced, and stabilized his organs and muscles, forcing them to adapt to the immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, it was only enough to protect his core; his outer skin had long since collapsed inward under the strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, something changed. For some unknown reason, his body grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin began to regenerate, something it hadn’t done even once since he passed five kilometers deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked, staring at his own body. \"What the...? How is this happening? Did I just get stronger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small smile crept across his face. \"Don’t tell me... did my body finally evolve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hahaha... you wish.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s expression flattened. \"If not that, then what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Come on, host. Did you forget one of my abilities?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned, thinking. \"Which one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Seriously? The first thing you ever got from God Gym. How can you forget?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion narrowed his eyes, trying to recall. \"Is it the one where every workout performed inside the God Gym increases my strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah, that’s the one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms slightly, still bracing against the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That only boosts strength from workouts done inside the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, frowning. \"But that’s negligible now. After reaching the Third Realm, it barely makes a difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It was small... but it never stopped.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s expression shifted. \"You’re saying it kept stacking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Every single time. That’s why your body is approaching the Fourth Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly, absorbing the realization. Then his brow furrowed again. \"Wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up slightly, as if thinking through it. \"If that’s the case... I didn’t need to come all the way here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wrong.That effect only works below the Perfection Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head, confusion flickering across his face. \"Then how am I this much stronger now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Alright, listen carefully.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion exhaled, steadying himself against the crushing pressure. \"Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That talent of yours... it already evolved after multiple system rank-ups.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"Evolved into what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gods’ Trainer.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion fell silent, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The new effect is simple: whatever a member of the God Gym gains... you receive half.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked. \"Half?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One eyebrow rose. \"That sounds worse. It used to multiply my gains ten to twenty times, if I remember correctly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hear me out. Before, it only amplified physical training. Now... it applies to everything.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion went still. \"Everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Everything. Even Ascension.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils shrank. \"...Ascension?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the immense pressure of the deep sea vanished from his awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No... don’t tell me...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve got it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s fist clenched, his body trembling not from the pressure this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how is that possible...? Am I really about to be surpassed by my own disciple... Just because they managed to get a God Physique first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Haha. That expression... priceless.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s face darkened into a scowl. \"...Damn you, Atlas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","997e60356a8529dc5e5624227f37660b697bdc9f160458195926b73b42bf89c6","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-533","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-531",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
