He began to visualize that the air was filled with new particles, which were mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also visualized that the moment he inhaled, he would sense the mana in the air, and soon, an unfamiliar tingle appeared on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this mana?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know if it was it, but he could feel that the more he kept visualizing, the stronger this tingle feeling became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he slipped and stopped visualizing, the sensation disappeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... the trick is visualization, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manual told me to go slow. Basically, after sensing mana, I need to collect all the mana in my lower abdomen and create a mana pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I do all that, I need to circulate it through the virtual meridian that will slowly form and finally temper the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion quickly frowned, thinking of the long process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too long. The process was just too much and too inefficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then suddenly smirked, thinking of a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute, this method is this world’s, not mine. I wonder if I can fuse all three stages together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea wasn’t that undoable. The people here used mana pools and meridians because they didn’t really know about the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion was different. He was a body scientist who often dissected bodies for experiments and study. He knew the human body inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also dissected one of the bandits and found that humans in this world had the same composition as humans in his world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s do this. I won’t be putting my mana in some imaginary pool. Instead, I’ll put it directly into every cell of my body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes again and began visualizing his own method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana didn’t go to his lower abdomen. Instead, he directed it into his own bone marrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The function of the bone marrow was to make new blood in the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped that when his bone marrow absorbed the mana, the blood itself would become infused with mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the heart pumps blood full of mana into every cell in his body, whether it’s organ cells or muscle cells. Every cell gets a dose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was basically instant circulation and instant tempering without making a new imaginary pool or meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he tested it, it actually worked. He could feel that the new blood was rich in mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart took that blood and pumped it through the body, instantly making his body feel better than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed hard after the first circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it! This is what I want! While those idiots sit still for months trying to refine their mana pool...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already have mana flowing through every single cell in my body. There is no leak or even waste. It’s just pure efficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused harder on his visualization. Mana went into the bone marrow. The bone marrow produced mana-blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana-blood was then pumped by the heart into every cell. Over and over again into endless cycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body also began to feel even better than before. He felt more energy and even felt that he was ready to train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn. No wonder the people here liked cultivation better than workouts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion flexed his hand, feeling the power in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This mana is basically a top-tier steroid, but without the side effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed and Garion kept the cycle going until he felt that this body was already accustomed with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment he stopped it, he realized he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bone marrow had tested mana, and it wanted more. So it told the brain to order all my skin cells to absorb the mana from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had basically become an auto-cultivation without me supervising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good... really good. With this, I no longer need to sit tight and cultivate. I can just do some workouts and still cultivate my mana. This is really perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Garion came to Dahlia’s room to start training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia was already awake and sat neatly on the bed. The moment she saw him, she quickly stood up and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, crossing his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Dahlia. Are you ready to train today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She straightened her back and answered quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Before we start, let me ask you. Have you learned anything about cultivation before you came here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master. I’ve been cultivating my family before. I am currently in the Accumulation Stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Not bad. Then what kind of manuals have you been using?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia hesitated, biting her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she went to her bag and pulled out two books. She then gave them to Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are the ones I practice, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion took them and glanced at the cover. One was titled[Flowing Stream Breathing]and the other one was[Wave Palm].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the martial arts book first and quickly flipped through a few pages before chuckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book was filled with martial arts that were quite similar to his old world, but the only difference was that this one used mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set it aside and read the cultivation manual. The method was quite similar to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he flipped to the back, he noticed a note scribbled in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When practiced fully, you may awaken a water elemental trait upon reaching the second realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was surprised, raising his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Interesting. This manual basically made someone a water cultivator when reaching the second realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, with this new information, he quickly learned other information about the second realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He concluded that the second realm should be when the mana pool crystallized into a mana core, and this mana core would give the mana traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion closed the manual and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. So you’ve been cultivating these methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded quickly and proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master. These manuals are considered very good. My family was lucky to obtain them before...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dahlia could continue, Garion cut her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now forget them. We’re going to learn a new method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flowing Stream Breathing]was one of the top cultivation manuals because of its water element trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People would fight and kill just to get a copy, and now her master wanted her to throw it away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s expression hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No buts. You’re my disciple now. You’ll train my way. Not this half-bake stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned, hearing it. She looked back at the manuals and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded firmly. He turned toward the door and gestured to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded as she followed him. She wondered just what kind of manual her master would give her that even a good manual was trash in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1185,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c375f00bb72798f10878c81c8696887f8e10c62d9510344c1a6294ef01d9639","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-7","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-5",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
