The faces of the Hughmans, which were previously smiling, began to twitch crazily. Fuck, they had asked Nala to come and apologize. Yet, she had turned even more aggressive? Had she gone mad, or was she giving up?"Don't be mad, Joanna. Her mind hasn't been right ever since she came back.""Ms. Yorker, we've been trying to stop her from coming here. Please don't take it to heart."Some apologized, and some wanted to pull Nala away. If she said anything else, there would be no room for redemption, and the follow-up would be violent revenge. The Hughman family would be shakier than ever.If the Yorkers were decisive, it would truly be over for the Hughmans."Settling the past grudges with me? Are you even qualified to now?" Joanna ignored their comments and smiled non-stop as if she was hearing a joke."What? You said it back then, and now you're regretting it?" Nala sneered.When Joanna heard this, she remembered something and laughed even more exaggeratedly. "I almost forgot a

Currently, Nala sat on one of the benches on the viewing platforms. She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was far from composed. After all, she had waited so many years for this day, and it finally came.Any woman could understand this. Even if she wasn't born beautiful, no one wanted their face to be covered in scars."Nala, are you really sure?" a beautiful woman asked, placing a hand on Nala's shoulder. It was Nala's mother."Well, I'm confident he'll be able to. But if he can't, then I'm just destined to be like this in this life." As she spoke, an elegant-looking middle-aged man showed up on the other side. He patted Nala's hand—there were no words exchanged between them. But as her parents, they naturally stood firmly on their daughter's side.In fact, Nala was extremely grateful. Without the support of her parents, she might've actually committed suicide a long time ago. Not to mention, they had paid a great price back then to send her to live in the big city.Cro

"Felix, you didn't tell me that the battle was this grand!" Dickson was startled by the crowd at the scene. He turned and saw Felix smiling bitterly. "I didn't know this either. She only said it was in Denverville Arena. I didn't expect it to be so grand."Although Felix had participated in martial arts competitions in the capital, those who attended were famous figures. Unlike now, the arena was packed full of people."You're on your own now. I'll be watching you from the crowd," Dickson said.The two of them had been communicating with each other in whispers. Dickson quickly blended into the crowd. He didn't want to be noticed by anyone.Felix sighed—what else could he do at this point? He could only bite the bullet. When he reached the high platform, Nala came up to meet him. It was only then she realized something. "I'm sorry, Felix. I forgot how much you hate these types of scenes."Felix smiled and waved her off dismissively. "It's okay, I promised you anyway. I'll defi

On the only empty viewing platform, Zayn took a seat with only one other person. Joanna and Howie immediately stood up and saluted. "Oh! The sixth prince came just to see me?" Joanna had always wanted to marry into the royal family, and she liked the sixth prince a lot. Her family had also tried to match them up several times—but there was no clear connection."Don't think about it too much. As far as I know, Zayn has been quite active recently, and he has been going in and out of the four major cities," Howie explained to Joanna. Still, she didn't get angry."It's fine. There's still plenty of time for us to get together. One day, the sixth prince will notice me," she said.Zayn was in a good mood as he sat down. He had initially planned to leave Denverville—but since he heard that the Hughmans and Yorkers were fighting, he came to take a look out of boredom.However, no matter where he turned, Felix caught his eye! "Felix!" Zayn gritted his teeth. The only time he was humil

The sun finally set, but Denverville was lit up, and the arena was as bright as day. Most of the lights were around the arena—covering every corner."Felix, please." Nala turned toward Felix, a tear falling down her cheek.When he saw this, he said solemnly, "You will be Nala Hughman from now on." They took a deep breath, stood up, and walked forward in sync. At this point, everyone standing below could see them clearly.Nala slowly took off her veil, and the black and red scabs on her face were displayed in front of an audience for the first time. There was a hiss as everyone took a sharp breath of air. Some even covered their eyes!It was truly terrifying. No matter how beautiful Nala's eyes were, they couldn't overshadow the scars on her face. Even looking at her for over a few seconds would upset the audience.Nala was suffering from pure humiliation as she stood there. On the other hand, Joanna was laughing so hard she could barely cover her mouth. This had all been agreed

"Hahaha! He's in the early-stage of the Transcendent Realm! Natalie, didn't you say this guy was a good alchemist?" Ezra remarked.Natalie was also dumbfounded. "I don't know—but he's still overestimating himself. Howie is actually in the middle-stage of the Transcendent Realm."The battle continued, and Howie was already feeling much more relaxed. Since Felix was also in the Transcendent Realm, he didn't need to hide his power. In this case, accidentally killing him on the shot would be the best expression."What do you think about what your sister did?" As the two fought, Felix telepathically talked to Howie."What do 'you' think? In Martial City, strength is respected. Nala's only fault was the she was too trusting."Felix sneered. "Then what if this was reversed, and the one in such a state was Joanna?"This was a clear example of Howie's double standards. "Hahaha! That's true—but I would kill Nala, and no one could stop it!"Felix understood what he meant, and no more wor

Joanna was speechless. It wasn't just her—the entire arena was silent. After all, they were all from Denverville. They all knew Howie was in the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm. On the other hand, Felix was unknown and unheard of. However, he still came out victorious. Thus, how could they not be shocked?Nala held back her excitement and stretched out her right hand. She wasn't worried that Joanna would go back on her word. And that was exactly the case. If Joanna refused to hand over the antidote, everyone present would know that she accepted defeat publicly. If she broke her promise now, the reputation of the Yorkers would crash and burn into the ground—her family would never let her go.Fuck! Where and how did Nala find Felix? Her reputation had been dragged through mud, yet she was still so favored by the powerful Felix? God was truly unfair.Joanna gnashed her teeth and tossed a pill at Nala. She sneered. "So what if I gave it to you? Nala, you've fallen far behind

"Felix… I… Am I really not worthy enough to be your wife? Not even as just a lover?"Felix patted Nala's back helplessly. He said, "I've already agreed to marry Nerissa. When it comes to you or Xena, maybe it's best to stay as friends."Nerissa! Nala was shocked, but then a self-deprecating smile formed on her face. "Turns out Nerissa was the woman chosen by your mother… You're right—what's lost is lost. "Whether it was me or Xena, it's our own fault. If we had half of Nerissa's determination and loyalty, maybe we wouldn't have ended up like this."Felix didn't respond. What had happened had happened. No amount of words could change it now. "I'm leaving now." As soon as he took a step, Nala remembered something. "Wait a second, Felix.""Is there something else you want to tell me?" Her expression turned solemn. "Aiden came to see me a month ago."Aiden! This wasn't something Felix expected. How dare Aiden show up so brazenly?"The plan was to set you up in exchange for

"The reason that creature suddenly lashed out so violently was because of the formation covering Martial City," Xena explained. "Based on my observations, this formation prevents Malevolent Phantoms from entering. That old man only got in because someone deliberately used a token to bring him inside. Even though he made it through, the formation still affected him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed so openly like you described."Malevolent Phantoms were already difficult to deal with, and intelligent Malevolent Phantoms were even worse. But that raised a bigger question. How were they created?"Since you've already taken care of it, I can at least report that much," Xena continued. "Felix, I really hope you can finish your mission soon. The capital desperately needs the warriors of Martial City to step in."With that, the call ended. Felix hadn't gained much new information, so all he could do was continue following his plan.After arriving at Misty Ridge, Felix immediately sens
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1089
For martial artists who reached the Transcendent Realm, the first three years were crucial for growth. After that period, their strength would be practically set. Hence, that phase determined the gap between those at the same level.Cordelia, for example, had attained her current level of power three years after reaching the Transcendent Realm. Given how things are unfolding, Felix only needed six months after activating Lone Paragon to reach his current strength. It was highly likely that he could reach her level as well.However, before he could dwell on these thoughts, a phone call from Xena completely disrupted his focus.To be honest, Felix was caught off guard. This was a phone exclusively used in Martial City. If Xena hadn't saved her number on his phone before he entered Martial City and mentioned that she might contact him one day, he would have never believed it."You entered Martial City?" Felix asked, puzzled. Xena wasn't someone who could just waltz into Martial City f

"This guy's cultivation technique is just a little strange, nothing special," Laura said.After relaying Felix's telepathy message, she stepped back. Her words had the intended effect. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. If more of those kinds of monsters started appearing, who could possibly stand against them?Though the situation had finally settled down, Felix wasn't the least bit happy. While his own troubles had just ended, the ordeal was completely unexpected. Logically, he still believed in the Phaeron Codex. After all, he had been practicing it himself and understood its power. If what was written in it was true, then there was no way for any of the wraiths to leave Corpse Town. So how did that old man get out?He decided not to dwell on it for now, as he had his own path to walk first.A few days later, in Imperial City, the Emperor and his sons sat in gloomy silence, staring at the three Celestial Royals standing at the forefront."You all saw what happened at the foot
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1087
"Make way!""Mr. Zeller is here!""Yeah, step aside!"The open space where Felix had previously confronted the three Celestial Royals remained empty. However, panic filled the air. Two bodies lay motionless on the ground. Although there were no visible wounds, the bodies were utterly still."Mom! What happened?"Cordelia pointed toward the only man still standing in the middle of the clearing. His lower body had been blasted apart. However, fresh flesh was already regenerating at an eerily incredible speed. At this rate, he'd be fully healed in less than five seconds."We're not sure. He suddenly attacked the two people lying on the ground. No one saw exactly how it happened, and then it turned into this mess."From what Cordelia explained, the man had erupted in violence without warning. The relatives of the deceased had immediately retaliated, unleashing a furious assault. They managed to destroy most of his body. However, he wouldn't die. His flesh kept regrowing, which was a

Felix was taken aback. "You can sense when I'm in danger?""Yes," Zara nodded. "Ever since we did the deed, there's been this indescribable bond between us. If you're ever in real danger, no matter where you are, I can feel it. Like last time, and this time too."Felix finally understood. Although there had been many dangerous situations, Zara had only appeared in these two, meaning the threat must have been severe.If he had really used Lumen to kill the three Celestial Royals, would he have fallen into darkness? If not, why else would Zara have shown up at that critical moment?"Why couldn't you kill those three?" he asked.Zara explained, "I've only just gained the upper hand. Right now, the Twinshade Body still controls 40% of me, while I hold 60% percent. If I were to use a stronger power, the Twinshade Body would immediately seize the opportunity to counterattack. "All my efforts so far would be wasted, and I can't say for sure if I'd be able to regain control again. But i

"Felix! If you have the guts, let's settle this another day. One final battle!" Aiden cried.Upon seeing Felix close in, Aiden panicked. He wasn't a match for Felix to begin with. Now, with Zara watching like a predator, he knew that if he got caught, death was inevitable.Felix replied, "Funny. You came here to kill me, and now you're asking for a rain check? You think I have all the time in the world for this?"He knew this feud had to end today."You spared the royals because they share the same bloodline as your mother. I, Aiden, am your father's nephew. Why can't you spare me too?" Aiden asked.Felix only responded with a cold laugh. Did he look like someone who spared enemies out of kindness? The only reason he let those three old bastards go was because he had no choice.When Zara had walked up to him slowly, she had been transmitting messages to him via telepathy the whole time.According to her, she only had enough strength left for one attack. And even then, she couldn

"Zara," Felix called out.Upon hearing Felix call her name, Zara turned to him with a sweet smile."What is it, honey?"Felix gestured toward Cordelia. "This is my mother."Any other daughter-in-law would have been nervous, perhaps even overwhelmed with anxiety at this moment. But Zara? She simply looked at Felix with the same cheerful expression and responded with a single word, "Oh."Her reaction confirmed what Gerald had once told Felix. Once Zara had fully suppressed the Twinshade Body, she would only recognize Felix. Nothing and no one else would matter to her.Seeing that Zara had stopped her attack, the three Celestial Royals let out a breath of relief, knowing they had just barely escaped death's grasp. While they were still shaken up, the Grand Elder and Aiden were petrified. Zara's sudden arrival had completely upended their expectations. It was an unforeseen twist that caught them completely off guard."Mom, what's wrong?"With a complicated expression, Cordelia gl

No one knew when the woman had arrived, but there she was. She appeared gracefully, her steps light as air. Dressed simply in a flowing white gown, she outshone everything around her.Everyone—young and old, men and women alike—was captivated. Their gazes locked onto her, unable to look away. She was breathtaking, beyond the reach of words. No description, no matter how poetic, could do her beauty justice."Zara?"Felix was stunned with joy. He hadn't expected Zara to appear at this moment. However, it wasn't just her presence. It was the look in her eyes, the expression on her face. It was her. The Zara he knew, not the dark force of the Twinshade Body.Which could only mean one thing—she had conquered it.His voice snapped the others out of their daze. Many men suddenly realized they had been standing there, slack-jawed, with drool dripping from their chins.For the first time, Nerissa felt truly outshined in terms of beauty. Yet, instead of jealousy, she felt a deep sense of j
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1082
Seeing Felix step forward on his own, a deep sense of pride swelled in Cordelia's heart as a mother."You forced me into this. I wanted to keep things peaceful, but you drove me to embrace the demon within."Felix's words made it clear. He was ready to use his dagger, Lumen. At death's door, why should he still care about the impact on his soul? That would be laughable."You little brat! How dare you pull a bluff before us?""You have no idea how vast the world is! So what if you embrace the demon within you? If power could be changed with mere words, wouldn't Martial City have fallen into chaos long ago?""If you can withstand three of my attacks, I'd already consider you quite capable."Aiden smirked. He knew it was over—his long-standing grudge against Felix would finally be settled.At the same time, the Grand Elder clenched his teeth, barely able to contain his anticipation. The moment Felix was slaughtered, he'd have his head severed and tossed into the capital just to let
