Every rep made the cell transformation even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone also chose the heart cell to be the first cell to be transformed, but after that, each disciple chose a different cell of their body to transform next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some focused on their arms for explosive strikes and strong punches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some focused on their legs for speed, and more explosive and stronger kicks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even focused on their lungs to increase their endurance while training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process for the next transformation was also quite simple... at least in theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visualize your perfect mana pool heart cell splitting and imagine the new mana pool cell being carried to the chosen part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then picture it consuming the chosen cell and then transforming into that chosen cell, turning it into that organ’s mana pool cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In practice, though, it was quite painful and difficult. Many fainted during training, and some others screamed during it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion only smiled when it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That means it’s working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, one morning, as the disciples were mid-workout, a familiar voice appeared from the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it sound like a battlefield in here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every head turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stood at the entrance, arms crossed, her hair tied up, and a confident smirk appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Dahlia!\" several disciples shouted, stopping mid-training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced over and grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally awake, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You make it sound like I was sleeping, Master. I was cultivating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same thing, knowing how you snore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glared at him, pretending to be offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples couldn’t help but laugh quietly at the exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been months since they last saw her, and even now, her presence felt sharp and commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she stepped inside, Dahlia looked around and froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Gym had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel the walls were wider, the ceilings higher, and there was a new door with a new plaque:[Learning Hall].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did this appear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s new. The gym upgraded itself when you began closed-door cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don’t look so surprised. You’re not the only one who’s been making progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around again and saw the disciples studying thick anatomy books between sets, reciting numerous systems in their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What in the world... When did they all get so... disciplined?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned on a dumbbell rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve been studying while cultivating. It’s part of the training now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You made them all do that? Even the lazy ones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not me. Someone else did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded toward the far side of the hall. Arden stood there, guiding a few disciples who were meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was calm but focused, completely different from the timid body she remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arden? He’s teaching them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More like... leading them. He found a new path... a simplified way to cultivate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion flexed his hand, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of forcing all cells to transform at once, like we used to do, he focuses on one at a time and uses cell splitting to spread the perfect mana pool cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the same method we used to reach the second realm, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" Garion said, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smart body, isn’t she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She folded her arms and looked at her junior brother, who was now explaining something to a group of disciples using small chalk diagrams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he figured it out himself? Without your help at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did. Said it came to him when he questioned the original method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let out a soft chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh... maybe I should start calling him ’Senior Brother’ instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t flatter him too much. His head might explode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He deserved it, though. For someone who used to hide behind everyone... that’s quite a leap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s sharp and brave enough to think differently. Reminds me of a certain someone who once kicked down my training dummy and called it stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was right, though, wasn’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were. That’s why I didn’t stop you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only sighed, then finally asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’ve reached the Mana Core Realm... should I tell them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. It’s better to be a sheep than a wolf, at least when you want to fool your enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But they’re not my enemies, Master. They’re my fellow disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. But to fool your enemies, you must first fool your friends. That’s how you make it believable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head, half amused, half annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re quite horrible, you know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrygged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet, you still listen to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a small laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... because your horrible ideas always work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Results don’t lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a short silence between them before Dahlia’s expression shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked thoughtful, her brows slightly furrowed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way... I have another question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about my mana trait,\" she said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’m at the Mana Core Realm, it should’ve awakened completely, right? But it feels the same as before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked, rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean your dragon trait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. But that one appeared when I was still at the Mana Refinement Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back at her fist, clenching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’ve broken through, it should have evolved or at least changed. But it hasn’t. It feels... quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion fell silent for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... interesting. That’s the same as me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded as he also didn’t know the reason why their traits didn’t appear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1928ded5e085bc7ecc9510987d6a01ccc8175e4995c5a4119e25b237e4cd8c7","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-449","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-448",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
