You’ve trained your bodies, eaten like beasts, and studied than most scholars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, letting the words hang in the air.

You joined the God Gym, not a tea club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples exchanged nervous looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d rather lift a mountain than do this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion flicked his fingers, and glowing sheets of paper with quills appeared in front of everyone, shocking them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answer the questions. You have exactly one hour to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone quickly flipped the page, inks scratched hurriedly, filling the room with panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s the part about the stomach again!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was the heart on the left or right!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forgot how many bones a person has!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched and smirked, clearly entertained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I taught you all this every single day. How can you forget already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked between the rows, occasionally glancing at someone’s paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the heart’s not in the middle like a rock.

You’re not writing a fantasy novel here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some disciples gulped, frantically erasing and rewriting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Arden, the timid and quiet boy who stood in the front, was trembling as he wrote his answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, his eyes were calm and focused. His quill also moved quickly, each line neat and sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple beside him peeked over and whispered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already finished that part?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked and nodded, whispering back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I studied every night,\" Arden muttered, almost embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others groaned in disbelief.

Keep it that way. The rest of you should learn from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of frustration went through he class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great. Now the teacher’s pet is the genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t even spell ’esophagus’...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, maybe he’ll share notes later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When time ran out, Garion clapped his hands, and the papers floated toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began checking right there in front of them, flipping through each answer with speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong. Wrong. At least you tried. Not bad. Terrible handwriting. Decent. Wrong again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hell is this?! Is this drawing supposed to be a potato or a heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some disciples buried their faces in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Garion stopped, holding up one paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now this... this is perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned it around for everyone to see the neat writing and well-labelled sketches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden flinched, standing quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rank one. Full score. You’re the top of this batch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHAT!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden scratched his head, face red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I just... read the book a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what happens when you actually use your brain instead of complaining. Learn from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around at the others, his grin sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be disappointed. Most of you did well. You’ve all improved more than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, and everyone’s test scores appeared as glowing numbers above their head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were above average, far higher than what they had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? Even the slowest among you scored a bit higher than average. You’re not just muscles anymore. You’re smart muscles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter rippled through the hall. Even the nervous disciple smiles, the tension easing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded with satisfaction and then turned to Arden again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you kid... Good job. You’ve got a sharp mind. Don’t let fear dull it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden straightened his back, bowing deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll do my best, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’d better be. Because now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for effect, letting the tension rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time for your reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every disciple instantly perked up, eyes widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reward!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it food? Please let it be food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, idiot! It’s probably something better than that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, enjoying their reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down. You’ll like this one more than extra meat at dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let the silence stretch again before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting today, I’ll teach you the foundation of our God Gym’s true cultivation method...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The[God Physique Cultivation Art].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hall buzzed. The disciples looked at each other with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The[God Physique Cultivation Art]?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the real cultivation art of our God Gym?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We finally get to learn it!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned as their excitement grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. This is the true cultivation art that separates us from every other sect in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let his words hang in the air before suddenly saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before we start...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a but?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. You think I’d just hand you something so important without making sure your brains are working?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several disciples groaned in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time, Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should’ve known there’s a catch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t we just train first, then study later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion ignored them, his grin not fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, can anyone tell me how the first realm or the Mana Refinement Realm works in the first place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, one disciple raised his hand hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... we refine mana... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refine it how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... by... breathing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter rippled through the hall. Someone even whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least he tried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breathing helps you live, not refine mana. Anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another disciple stepped forward, looking a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, it’s when we draw mana into our lower abdomen, then gather it together to make a mana pool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You got it.
