It had reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled as he began to think about the truth... the current stage he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me... I just reached the highest stage of the[Mana Core Realm], the[Completion Stage].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back slightly, rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the usual path is Condenstaion, Stabilizaiton, Awakening, Integration, and Completion... then I’ve basically skipped most of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, cultivator had to fuse mana into their mana seed, then temper it to a mana core, then fuse it with their bodies and finally temper both of them to reach perfection or the completion stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion was already a body cultivator, so that he could skip the integration stage, and to reach completion, he just needed one month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were known to other cultivators of Mana Core Realm, Garion would be directly called a Monster... no, a Heretic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess my[God Physique Cultivation Art]really does make everything better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, something unexpected happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he focused on the mana core heart cell, he noticed faint movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It began to consume mana on its own, surprising Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can this be? It’s eating mana passively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to watch closely. After a few hours of this natural absorption, it began to split into two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the new one began to consume the ordinary mana pool cell nearby, replacing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process repeated again and again. One became two, two became four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The perfect mana core cells multiplied, slowly consuming the weaker mana pool cells and replacing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed quietly, eyes bright with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it works. It multiples on its own. Each one is self-replicating and perfecting the rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, I don’t need to force my way to perfection. I just have to let it grow on its own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then closed his eyes, focusing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I know what to do, let’s keep it going. Let’s see if I can transform my mana pool heart into a mana core heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was back cultivating again. He breathed in mana and channelled it into his mana core cells to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day passed. Then two. Then ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weeks turned into another months, and Garion never left his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana core cells multiplied relentlessly. One became hundreds, hundreds became thousands, thousands became millions, and finally...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the third month, the transformation was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was now composed entirely of mana core cells. Every beat radiated strength, and the flow of mana through his body was smoother than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and clenched it, feeling the surge of power’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is what it means to step fully into the Second Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Garion enjoyed the feeling, but then he suddenly realised something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... where’s my trait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused inward again, scanning every part of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, the moment a cutlaitor stepped into Mana Core Realm, they awakened a mana trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion felt nothing: no new sensation, no new element, or natural affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mana was just strong and denser, but empty of any particular nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn’t make sense. Reaching the Mana Core Realm should’ve awakened a trait automatically. Did I mess up the process?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought back ot everyhing he had done, and it all followed the cultivation logic perfectly. There was no mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it because of my unique cultivation method? Is that the reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell silent for a while, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If every cell is its own mana core, then maybe the trait doesn’t appear in just one place. Maybe it’s still forming, trying to balance through my whole body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his chin, trying to make sense of his current condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it should be it. I have too many traits, so it needed to be balanced before appearing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stood up slowly, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s just see what happened when all of my cells had reached perfection and also when all the traits were balanced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his clenched fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This will be really interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from Demon Gate Island, on the closest nearby Island, several big ships floated by the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the deck of the biggest ship stood the grey-robed elder who had once brought Garion there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly as he looked down, watching the hundreds of young cultivators gathered below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought there would be this many... all eager to join that strange sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned toward the direction of the Demon Gate Island in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder... how many of them will be able to join that strange sect of yours, Garion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","6a084cc3763d3a537c27822ec788ce5cb0eccbc972c62a466f44ccb3ca671a3a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-409","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-408",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
