Up on the flying ship, the scene below was shown clearly through the floating screen.
Rachel stood near the railing, her hands gripping it tightly.
Her eyes were locked on Garion's figure in the middle of the flaming storm.
His body was covered in burns and sparks, yet he was still moving and, even crazier, doing some push-ups.
Rachel's voice trembled a little as she talked.
"Garion... is he okay?"
Besides her, Dahlia was leaning on the railing with her arms crossed. She wasn't even worried at all and just laughed.
"You don't have to worry about Master, Miss Rachel."
She pointed at Garion.
"Just look at him. He didn't even frown at all. Instead, he just grinned, doing some push-ups."
Rynar nodded with a grin.
"Yeah. Even under that crazy pressure, he's still working out."
Rynor added, laughing lightly.
"He even started counting it, Mum. Who trained inside a patriarch's domain like it was nothing?"
Rachel blinked in disbelief, her mouth slightly opened as she looked at Garon again.
"Indeed. After hearing what you said, it seems that he was okay."
Clara chuckled softly.
"That's just how Master is. If he can move even a little, he'll train."
Eliza nodded.
"He must be saying that the Domain is the perfect place to train with the pressure and flaming storm around."
Arden, who was observing the screen more deeply, also added his own comments.
"And also looked closer. Even the patriarch's flames aren't burning him like before."
Rachel leaned forward.
The flames that had wrapped around Garion earlier were now flickering unevenly.
His body, though battered, was glowing faintly as mana began to pulse around his body with each movement.
She slowly relaxed, letting out a relaxed breath.
"I see... so this is what you meant when you said he was monstrous."
Ryna grinned proudly.
"Yeah, even the patriarch, a third realm cultivator, has to use his full power just to keep Master on the ground completely."
Rynor leaned against the railing.
"And even then, he's turning that into a workout routine."
Dahlia smiled, her eyes gleaming with pride.
"That's why you don't need to worry about him and why we follow him. He never stops pushing forward, no matter what."
Rachel watched silently for a while longer.
The storm below still raged, but Garion's figure didn't falter. He was still moving and training.
She smiled softly, the worry in her chest finally easing.
"He really is something else."
Arden nodded slightly.
"He's not like any cultivator I've ever seen. He doesn't just fight… he grows."
Rachel's smile grew warmer.
"Then I guess I'll stop worrying. He's not someone who loses easily, is he?"
Dahlia shook her head.
"No. He doesn't lose. He just learns and does it better later."
Everyone turned back to the screen as another burst of thunder erupted below.
Garion's voice echoed faintly through the storm.
"Twenty-three… twenty-four… twenty-five…"
Rynor raised a fist proudly. "That's our master."
The whole group laughed, the tension melting into quiet admiration as they continued to watch him.

Raviel looked down at Garion, still hovering in the air and smirking faintly.
"I can feel that your body is starting to adapt to my domain. You really are a body cultivator."
Garion, sweating and still in push-up position, lifted his head slightly and smirked.
"Of course. My path is the more I push, the better I become."
Raviel chuckled, shaking his head.
"Then let's see how long that body of yours can keep up."
He raised his hands slowly, and the world around them began to shake again.
"Let's turn it up ahead to another level."
BOOM!
The flames in the domain flared brighter, and the thunder roared even louder, striking the ground near Garion.
The pressure increased several times over, forcing the ground beneath him to cave in even more.
Garion's arm shook under the added weight, but he only smiled, gritting his teeth.
Raviel watched his smile with interest, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"You're still smiling?"
Garion chuckled.
"You call this pressure? You should try my morning warm-up."
Raviel laughed.
"Good, good. Let's see just how good you are."
He continued to maintain the domain's power, causing Garion's movement to slow and briefly stop, yet Garion still forced himself to train.
"Thirty-six... thirty-seven..."
And also unknown to Raviel, Garion turned to the side, smirking as he saw numerous notifications.
[Outer Disciple completed one set of perfect squats. Owner gains 2x the results.]
[Outer Disciple completed one set of perfect bench presses. Owner gains 2x the results.]
[Outer Disciple completed one set of perfect deadlifts. Owner gains 2x the results.]
Garion smirked, as he could feel that his body was becoming stronger and stronger each second, and another message also appeared.
[Transformed Mana Core Cell: 99%]
Garion froze for half a second, eyes narrowing slightly.
"Ninety-nine, huh? Just one more percent…"
He clenched his fists and let out a sharp exhale.
"Perfect timing."
From above, Raviel tilted his head slightly, curious.
"You're smiling even wider now. What are you planning now?"
Garion looked up, smirking.
"Nothing much. Just finishing a set."
Raviel frowned slightly, confused by his tone.
He could sense something strange as Garion's mana, instead of depleting, was growing denser and more stable.
"Just what is happening to him?"
Below him, Garion suddenly stopped moving.
He planted his palms against the cracked ground and pushed with all his strength.
The pressure of the Domain rippled, the air shaking as his body began to rise inch by inch.
Raviel's eyes narrowed. He could sense that Garion's presence was changing into something heavier and rougher.
"What's happening to you? How can your power increase inside my domain? You should be crushed, not standing."
Garion slowly straightened his back, his smirk returning.
"Raviel... I never showed you my trait, did I?"
Raviel's eyes widened, realization flashing across his face.
"Is this… the unique physique you mentioned last night?"
Garion nodded once, faint light starting to flicker around his skin.
"Indeed. Just like I said, it's a different beast compared to mana traits."
He clenched his fists as his aura surged.
"And now let me show you just how different it is."
