Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method

For a brief moment, the void became completely silent as the other dragons stared in complete shock.

Even Nyxvar Voidscale, the one most familiar with void laws among them, stared at Garion with clear interest.

At this moment, all of them finally realized something.

Garion was not as simple as he seemed.

He was not merely an arrogant Celestial Realm brat who had somehow gained enough courage to sit at the same table as Dragon Gods.

Varkhor Volcanion finally spoke from the side. "Don’t judge him by the normal Celestial Realm standard."

The other Dragon Gods turned toward him.

Aurelion frowned. "What do you mean?"

Varkhor’s molten eyes remained fixed on Garion. "Garion is walking another path toward godhood."

The atmosphere shifted.

Selkhara’s cold voice sounded. "Another path?"

Varkhor nodded slowly. "From what I understand, it is not the traditional route we use."

His gaze moved across the Dragon Gods. "We cultivate our [Inner Worlds], perfect divine laws, gather faith, refine Divine Energy, and step upward through Low-Rank God, Intermediate-Rank God, High-Rank God, and beyond."

Abyron’s eyes deepened. "And him?"

Varkhor looked toward Garion. "His path seems to strengthen the body itself to an extreme level first."

Garion grinned. "That’s called working out."

Atlas immediately muttered,

[Please don’t simplify your entire path into gym slang in front of Dragon Gods.]

Varkhor ignored Garion and continued, "His body is not simply flesh. It behaves like a foundation, a weapon, a domain, and perhaps even a world embryo at the same time."

Nyxvar’s eyes narrowed. "A physical path?"

Verdroth rubbed his chin. "Even if it is a physical path, how can it be this strong?"

Selkhara added coldly, "And how can a body alone produce abilities like black holes and white holes?"

Aurelion’s expression turned ugly. "A physical cultivator should still have limits."

Volkrath, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke. "I don’t know."

The Dragon Gods looked toward him.

Volkrath’s expression was serious. "I fought him. I saw his [Black Hole] swallow my divine ability, my domain, and an entire planet."

His golden-red eyes moved toward Rachel for a moment. "And his wife is also abnormal."

Rachel calmly met his gaze without speaking.

Volkrath continued, "This does not seem like an ordinary physical path. It is one of a kind."

He paused briefly. "Perhaps only Garion and his people can walk it."

The words caused the Dragon Gods to fall silent again.

Varkhor’s voice became heavier. "So it is better not to think of him as a Celestial Realm cultivator."

Garion raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

Varkhor looked directly at him. "Think of him as a Demigod."

The void became even quieter.

---

Garion waited for a moment before grinning, casually waving one hand toward Aurelion. "Come on, now. Are you done?"

Aurelion frowned the moment he heard that. His pride as a Golden Dragon instantly flared, and he shouted, "You arrogant little bastard...!"

"Enough."

Varkhor’s voice cut through the void before Aurelion could attack again.

The Volcanion Dragon Elder looked at him calmly. "You already saw how strong he is. There is no need to test him further."

Aurelion’s expression remained ugly, but he did not immediately continue.

After all, even though his pride was wounded, he was not stupid.

Garion had swallowed his [Auricrown Imperial Dragon Claw] in this empty void. That alone was already enough to prove something was wrong with him.

The void remained quiet for a moment before Nyxvar suddenly spoke. "Wait a moment."

Everyone turned toward him.

Nyxvar’s black-purple eyes were fixed on Garion. "Let me test him one last time."

Varkhor frowned slightly. "Nyxvar."

Nyxvar raised one hand calmly. "His power involves black holes, white holes, and perhaps gravity."

His gaze deepened. "Mine is space, void, distance, and collapse. I want to try him once."

Garion’s eyes immediately brightened.

Atlas’s expression collapsed.

[Of course you do.]

Rachel looked at Garion. "Be careful."

Garion grinned. "I know."

[You absolutely do not.]

Garion ignored Atlas and looked toward Nyxvar. "Good then. Come show me."

Nyxvar nodded faintly. "Fine."

The space around him darkened, and unlike Aurelion’s overwhelming golden royal pressure, Nyxvar’s power was completely silent.

Yet Garion could still feel it.

The void between Nyxvar and Garion suddenly seemed to stretch endlessly before folding inward at the exact same time.

Nyxvar calmly raised two fingers.

[Absolute Distance Collapse]

The moment his voice fell, Garion’s surroundings vanished.

It wasn’t that everything had disappeared. Rather, the distance between Garion and his aura had been completely erased.

Black-purple cracks opened around him from every direction, each one slicing directly through space itself.

There was no path to dodge, nor even a clear direction from which to block.

The attack came from everywhere at once because the very concept of "far" had been removed.

For the first time, Garion’s grin disappeared.

Rachel noticed it immediately, and her aura flared violently.

Seeing this, Garion simply raised one hand. "Don’t, Rachel. I can still handle this."

The moment those words left his mouth, a tiny black sphere appeared above his palm.

Then, in an instant, it expanded into a genuine [Black Hole].

All the collapsing spatial cracks twisted toward it, only to be devoured alive by the [Black Hole].

But Nyxvar’s void attack did not vanish instantly like Aurelion’s claw.

Instead, it fought back, trying to annihilate the black hole from the inside.

Space itself screamed as the black-purple laws of collapse collided against Garion’s terrifying devouring force.

Garion stared at the collision for another second, but the longer he watched, the more he felt that something was wrong. "Goddammit."

In the next instant, he raised his hand and unleashed his power, forcibly tearing space apart.

A spatial crack opened behind him.

Garion immediately grabbed Rachel’s hand and jumped through it without hesitation.

At nearly the same moment, Nyxvar’s eyes narrowed as he realized that Garion had discovered it as well.

Without hesitation, he sliced open space and stepped through the rift.

The other Dragon Lords quickly followed after finally realizing the same thing.

The moment they escaped...

KABOOOOOOOM!

The place where Garion and Nyxvar had stood exploded into a silent void storm.

Space folded, collapsed, stretched, and shattered all at once.

Garion reappeared inside the meeting hall, still holding Rachel’s hand. "Damn. That one was freaking dangerous."
