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

"What's wrong?" Dickson asked.Felix thought for a while before sighing helplessly. "It's nothing. Let's go."Kevin was surely a master of Transcendent Realm. Even if Felix used Lone Paragon, he wouldn't be able to win against him. Besides, Dickson had just entered the late stage of Transcendent Realm. Even if they worked together, it wouldn't do much, and they would likely be killed. It wasn't worth it. Besides, it was clear that they were going opposite ways. After running for a while, the intense feeling disappeared.Despite that, Felix and Dickson returned to North City safely. Laura was the most excited to see Felix again. She was the only one who had believed he wasn't dead. After all, there was a connection between them. If Felix had died, Laura would've died as well. However, since she couldn't tell Deborah about this, she could only pray that Felix would come back soon.In the following days, everything had returned to normal. Felix followed Deborah and completely focu

For the past six months, Felix had almost never left the house, let alone North City. Everyone who knew him could only stare helplessly.All of a sudden, Nellie's phone rang. She frowned after listening to the call. "Felix, the front desk said that the sixth prince, Zayn, wants to see you."The sixth prince? Felix thought about it and then replied, "Alright. I'll come over."Deborah nodded. She knew that the two of them had grudges, but so what? Even if Zayn was a royal, he was also required to follow the rules. Besides, Felix was now in the middle stage of Transcendent Realm. Thus, it wouldn't be easy to kill him, either.Felix arrived at a café in Rosewood. Only Zayn sat on the entire second floor of the establishment."Felix! You're about to take the advanced pill assessment, right? Well, with your skills, there shouldn't be any hiccups. Congratulations!"Felix was confused.What was Zayn up to? While there was only a conflict between them, he knew that Zayn wasn't someone

Two weeks later, at Harmony Clinic's headquarters, Ezra personally held a banquet to congratulate Felix. The results of the assessments had been revealed, and Felix had achieved the title of an advanced alchemist.In Martial City, there were very few who could refine advanced pills. So, during the assessment, only three other alchemists were in the running alongside Felix. One of them had evidently failed."Felix, whether my unworthy grandson can achieve the mastery of Transcendent Realm depends on you," Ezra said.Dickson pouted and said, "Well, well, well, so you've revealed your true colors, Mr. Whitwell."Ezra shot Dickson a glare and said, "How dare you say that? Didn't you promise Felix you wouldn't pick your nose from now on? I don't know who said before that even if you were threatened, you would never let go of that habit."Dickson was helpless. What else could he do? He had also wanted to master Transcendent Realm. Now, Felix was his fastest way.Only Deborah had a warm

"I have an old friend whose mentee is currently in Physical Refinement Realm and has been hoarding Ascension Pills for a while now. Felix, if you're confident in your success rate, I believe that three should be more than enough for him," Ezra said.Initially, Felix thought it was nothing. However, the image of Zayn's face surfaced in his mind. Felix knew that he should be fully prepared for their trip to Imperial City."Mr. Whitwell, please contact your friend." With three Transcendent Realm experts with him, Felix didn't believe his enemies would dare to risk it.…A few days later, a group of five people set off in Shepherd's car. This time, Dickson didn't come with them—there wasn't a need for him to.Ezra's old friend was nicknamed Andre the Bear. He was over six feet five inches tall, and despite his full head of white hair, he was incredibly strong. As he sat in the passenger seat, he seemed to fill the whole car."It feels like the air in Martial City is about to change

"Incredible... you can make six pills per batch?" Even Deborah was astonished. As an alchemist, she knew just how difficult refining Ascension Pills was."Excitement aside, Felix, you should know that now that you're out, the royal family probably already knows. Have you considered how to handle this?" she asked seriously. Ever since Felix had entered Corpse Town, they had been racking their brains for a solution, but nothing concrete had emerged—until now.Felix smiled confidently. "Mr. Whitwell, surely you've heard the saying, 'The law doesn't punish when the crowd's too large,' right?"Ezra and the others froze for a moment before realization dawned on them. "Wait... are you planning to..."Felix nodded. "Exactly. I'm going to publicly refine Ascension Pills for free. As long as people bring the necessary materials, they'll be guaranteed at least two pills."Deborah was stunned as she imagined the crowds this would draw. No influential family could resist such an offer. The c

Two deputy chiefs appeared, which was exactly what Dickson had feared the most. His worst nightmare had come true."Alright," Dickson muttered. Just as he spoke, his eyes widened in shock and joy as he spotted someone standing at the entrance of Corpse Town. "Dickson, it's been forever!" There stood Felix, smiling calmly. He had not expected to run into Dickson right after coming out of the town.Dickson roared with laughter, rushing over to Felix and pulling him into a bear hug. His happiness was so genuine that it could not be hidden.The two deputy chiefs stood frozen in disbelief. They knew exactly who Felix was—Deborah's apprentice, the one who had been forced into Corpse Town over a year ago. Yet here he was, alive and well, as if he had never faced any danger."No way! Is this kid blessed by the gods or something?" one of them muttered.They could not be blamed for thinking that. Felix had already survived Echo Cavern, one of the three forbidden zones, and now he had made

Dean sprinted forward, but the wraiths chased relentlessly, their speed rapidly closing the gap between them. And, to make matters worse, new obstacles emerged ahead. Without hesitation, he grabbed Tyler and threw him toward the danger like a human shield. There was no way Dean could handle all the wraiths on his own, but Tyler's abilities gave them a slim chance. "Don't worry, Elder Dean! I can control a hundred of them—we'll make it out for sure!" Tyler braced himself confidently and rushed out, thinking he had everything under control.However, Tyler did not realize that Felix had anticipated this move. The latter muttered with a smirk, "I knew you'd pull something like this."Just as Tyler was about to use his powers to seize control of the wraiths, Felix appeared out of nowhere. He chuckled coldly and vanished again.In the blink of an eye, Tyler's confidence shattered as he collapsed in a pool of blood. He was not even an Aetherial Realm martial artist, making him no match
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1067
Dean suddenly burst into wild laughter. "You're right! When I said tomorrow, I was just messing with you. This ends now, Felix—right here and right now!"Nearby, Tyler gave a cold smirk and waved his hands. From the dark alley across the way, over 100 wraiths surged forward, blocking Felix's only path of retreat. He mocked, "So, Felix, what will it be? You can either come inside or deal with those monsters behind you."Dean had already made up his mind to use a desperate technique, even if it hurt him in the process. His earlier fight had given him a clear measure of Felix's strength. Though Felix was still technically in the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm, he seemed to have a secret technique that boosted his combat power to frightening levels.Felix could now fight against masters of the Transcendent Realm without losing. To kill someone like him would require Dean to reveal his trump card. And anyone who had reached Dean's level always had a trump card or two hidden u

Dean said, "Alright, wait here. Once I kill Felix, we'll head out."The Maximus family was on the verge of ruling Martial City, and killing Felix was just one step in the process. Now that they knew he was in Corpse Town, there was no way they would let him slip away.Dean grabbed some blue powder and left the courtyard. While Corpse Town was fairly large, it would not take him long to track someone down at his speed. As soon as he stepped out, though, he spotted Felix casually walking out of an alley."Felix!" Dean's eyes gleamed with intensity. He had speculated that Felix might be here, but seeing him in the flesh was an entirely different feeling.Felix chuckled from across the way. "Heh! I didn't expect the Maximus family to be hiding here. Surviving in Corpse Town, huh? Must be thanks to that fancy blue shield of yours."Dean was not about to waste any more time with words. Without warning, he lunged forward, launching a powerful attack.Felix did not back down and retaliat

Even after the old man spoke, the Maximus family remained on guard. This was Corpse Town, not the outside world, after all. He could be a powerful wraith."Stay calm!"Dean, who was already at the mastery of Transcendent Realm, studied the old man carefully before launching an attack through the air.The old man slammed into the courtyard wall with a bang, coughing blood before dropping to his knees in terror. He pleaded repeatedly, "Please don't kill me! I beg you!" Finally, the others relaxed as Dean's expression softened. "You're just worthless Aetherial Realm trash. How dare you try to act mysterious before me?" Aetherial Realm? Atlas realized something. "Elder Dean, it seems the blue crystal can't change Corpse Town's rules. He must have just arrived. Let me question him." With Dean's nod, Atlas approached. "How did you get in here?"The old man was terrified beyond reason and only wanted to survive. To him, these people couldn't be human. How could living people exist

After they left, the hidden observer made a call. "Your Highness! Harmony Clinic threw one of their prisoners into Corpse Town. Nothing else unusual." Such punishment was not uncommon, so the observer paid little attention to the black bags they had put on the prisoner. "Okay. Keep watching!" On the other end, Julian wouldn't ask further questions. As long as Felix didn't appear, nothing else mattered. With time, he must have died inside.…In Corpse Town, the condemned prisoner huddled in an alley, trembling and afraid to move. This was Corpse Town, after all. Soon, a woman approached. "Handsome, do you want some relief?" Seeing her beauty, wearing only a sheer red dress, the prisoner's fear diminished. "When... When did you get here? What dangers are in this place?"Ignoring his questions, she pounced. Her mouth expanded horrifically to engulf half his body. Moments later, she returned to normal. The prisoner's body appeared unharmed, but his eyes were empty and lifeless

Both Dean and Atlas rushed forward excitedly. "Can you demonstrate the power now?" Tyler nodded. "Yes." Without another word, Dean left and returned with his palm open, holding blue powder. They had scraped it from their blue crystal using ancestral tools. The powder provided 30 minutes of protection from the creatures outside. Dean used it for supply runs. Otherwise, they would have starved.He had only brought his direct line and elites here, leaving the rest in Bedford at the family compound. Those people were expendable, so enemies wouldn't waste time killing them.At the entrance, Tyler walked out with the blue powder. Various wraiths wandered about and were easy to spot. The powder kept them from attacking Tyler.Taking a deep breath, he approached the nearest wraith and touched it with his right hand. Immediately, both became motionless.After about ten minutes, Tyler's lips curled into a smile. He withdrew his hand and commanded, "Down!" The wraith actually dropped

As Felix turned to the next page, an overwhelming force emerged. He could not move. Though his body remained intact, he felt something draining away. "No! The book is absorbing my soul energy." Just as everything began to spin, something struck the book and stopped the drain. New text appeared on the second page. "Bearer of the Destiny Crystal, you are worthy to learn my techniques." The Destiny Crystal! Felix was stunned. Was this book alive? How could it detect the crystal in his soul? The pages turned themselves. By the final page, Felix felt his soul trembling, almost unable to process everything. His eyes snapped open to find the book back in the statue's hands. Everything felt dreamlike, but Felix knew it wasn't a dream. The Phaeron Codex was now imprinted in his soul, ready for him to practice at any time.Time passed as Felix sat in the ruined hall, his eyes gleaming with understanding. "So, Lumen belonged to this book's owner, too. Who were they? Why leave their leg
