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
Right after the masked figure spoke, he disappeared. A stone was left in his seat. Besides Deborah, the rest of the group panicked.Ezra shouted, "That's Lloyd Lionheart's Pandora's Box. Hurry! Felix is in danger!"Andre and Shepherd quickly recognized it as well. Lloyd Lionheart was also a master of Transcendent Realm. Despite his average combat skills, he was incredibly good at escaping and trapping people. For instance, what just happened was one of his techniques in his arsenal. He could swap positions with anyone or any object within 300 feet. Although it was seemingly useless since the range was incredibly small, sometimes, it still worked wonders. Lloyd's signature skill, the Pandora's Box, was extremely extraordinary. From the outside, the entire Mercedes-Benz seemed to be covered by a black box. Meanwhile, Felix's eyes adjusted to the darkness. Before he could think, his Lone Paragon activated as he felt danger arriving."Dragon's Dance!" he shouted.Just then, all
Lloyd could only give his all. Otherwise, if they broke out of the box, his companions might die.However, his five companions were still attacking the paper figure, all completely defenseless. After a few minutes, Lloyd was about to lose it, for there were no changes. He couldn't hold on any longer.At this point, he had already used the blood-stained tokens. They were his trump cards for reinforcing his Pandora's Box. Initially, he had planned to use them at the critical moment. He didn't expect that all of them would have been used up by now.If Lloyd didn't man the Pandora's Box himself, the effect would be weak. Under normal circumstances, he would've run away right after trapping them.It was similar to how the Skeletal Demon sealed Felix last time—but this was much more powerful than the Bone Prison. Initially, the three Transcendent Realm masters could only be trapped for ten seconds at most.However, it was definitely enough time to kill Felix. But who would've thought th
On the other hand, Felix was still running. However, his skills were far from the two Transcendent Realm masters. If it was a one-on-one situation, there might still be a chance, but one-on-two? The result was clear.As he felt his pursuers were approaching, Felix suddenly stopped. He knew that it was useless to continue running. It would waste the remaining time of his Lone Paragon. Besides, the two forbidden lands, Corpse Town and Misty Ridge, were too far from here. He couldn't reuse the same method to survive. Thus, it was best for him to make his final stand. Additionally, it would test the difference between himself and the Transcendent Realm masters.Besides, Felix only dared to act like this because he had the token given by the Protector with him. It gave him some sense of security."Oh? You're not running anymore, boy?" the two masked men mocked as they caught up. Although they looked contemptuous, they were still on high alert. After all, they had never encountered some
The only Transcendent Realm master the masked man had killed was with the Blazing Fist. With just one punch, his opponent was burned to ashes, with no traces left. Therefore, for Felix to withstand such an attack proved how terrifying he was."Drop the act. Just kill me already!" As soon as the two masked men launched a palm strike, Felix wasn't afraid. He immediately crushed the token given by the Protector. There was a red light that opened up and instantly enveloped him.There were two loud bangs as the strikes collided with the light. The two masked men were dumbfounded. "How many trump cards do you have? Isn't this way too much?" They were already driven crazy. After that weird paper figure, what was this red shield now? A minute later, the masked men had their mouths agape in shock. No matter how much they attacked, the shield didn't budge. It took absolutely no damage and didn't move. "Hey, you two, you'll die if you don't leave now!" Felix's voice came from the
In their terror, the two masked figures could only watch as their opponent raised a finger. At that moment, it seemed as if the air itself had stopped moving.They clutched their throats, their expressions twisted in agony as if all the oxygen around them had vanished. Within seconds, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.Felix drew in a sharp breath as he witnessed the scene. Staring at the woman's back and her pale gold dress flowing around her, his mind went blank.Was she a Grandmaster? Or perhaps another master who had achieved the mastery of Transcendent Realm? If she was the latter, her power was terrifying. They both belonged in the same realm, yet she could instantly kill others.Coming to his senses, Felix straightened his back and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for saving me." The figure remained silent, her back still turned. It left Felix feeling awkward and uncertain of what to do next. He wished she would say something.After ten seconds of silence, her voice ra
Cordelia asked, "You must have known my identity for a while. Now that we've met, is there anything you need me to do for you?" Felix smiled softly. "No need. I'll seek justice with my own hands. If you could have helped earlier, you would have, right?" Felix was truly brilliant, and Cordelia was delighted at such a realization. He was indeed her and Victor's son."The attack on you was ordered by the King, carried out by the fourth and sixth princes. Felix, your presence threatens the balance the royal family has maintained for years." Felix's brow furrowed as realization dawned. "Are you talking about alchemy?" "Exactly. Specifically, the Ascension Pill that creates masters of the Transcendent Realm. The royal alchemists' success rate may not be the highest, but it far exceeds both Bern and Madam Goddard. That's why there are so many masters in the royal family. "Your emergence means more powerful warriors outside royal control. What if they rebel one day? The royal family
Ginny's face was full of disbelief. Just then, everything clicked. She finally understood how Felix came back alive.He had simply hidden his strength. Were there people who practiced both medicine and martial arts? Of course, there were, but there were only a few. And most of them could only excel in one aspect, yet Felix was great in both.The Transcendent Realm martial artists were killed without even reaching Felix. This meant that Felix was at least in Grandmaster Realm. Now, the possibility of Caesar being dead grew much higher.Joaquin, who had been writhing on the ground, almost forgot his pain. He never thought that a mere doctor could be a terrifying martial artist. Why did the Goldsteins mess with someone like this?"Dr. Zeller, you've already killed my son… Please spare the Goldsteins…" Joaquin lowered his head in reverence. There was no other way. He still had his wife and children. He couldn't sacrifice everything."Do you feel the pain now? Caesar slaughtered over
Gras's and Ryker's expressions were full of confusion. It looked as if they had seen a ghost. After all, Felix should've died against Caesar, yet he was here, standing by them, and alive!The half-dead messenger really wanted to thank Felix right now. He didn't lie!As Joaquin came back to reality, his panic dissipated. He turned to Felix unwillingly and said, "Humph! What kind of trick did you play on Caesar for him to let you come back alive?"Felix just looked at Joaquin. "Oh? That's what you think?"Joaquin snorted coldly, his eyes full of pride. "Nonsense! Of course! Did my son ask you to apologize to me first before deciding how to deal with you? If that's the case, then I support him as his father."Kneel. Kneel and apologize. Then, you can think about how to appease me."Felix burst out laughing, shaking his head. "You truly have an indescribable confidence in your son, Joaquin. Let me tell you the truth. Caesar has committed great crimes, and I've sent him on his way. I
Joaquin slapped the messenger to the ground while shouting, "Bullshit! Felix is a dead man. How could he come back on horseback? If you dare spew nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue!"The messenger was terrified, quickly covering his face in fear. However, he still muttered, "But several people saw him. It was Felix…"Joaquin was so angry that he went straight up to the messenger and beat him up. Gras, Ginny, and Ryker turned to look at one another. To be honest, they couldn't believe it, either. Even if what the messenger said was true, it was still odd.After all, Felix went against Caesar, who was a martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm. How could he survive that? At the same time, in the Green King Manor, Dave came rushing into the yard, where the Green King was admiring the flowers."Your Excellency, I just got the report that Felix has entered the city."The Green King held a beautiful flower, admiring it without a care. His expression didn't change much despite the
"No matter what I do, I'll never make up something that isn't true! This is truly my ambition, and I only had a little bit of Felix's help. I'll admit it. So I came here sincerely this time, and you can punish me however you wish!" Gras said.Joaquin smiled. "You want me to forgive you and stop going after the Longstones? Sure, as long as you say that Felix planned all of this and had nothing to do with you."Ginny opened her mouth to say something, but she quickly held back. She was raised not to insult the dead. On the side, Ryker also had a bitter look in his eyes. He had come by to surrender, but he had no choice.Otherwise, when Caesar came back, he would definitely throw a tantrum, and by then, no one could help."Mr. Goldstein, those conditions are what I want to negotiate. They have nothing to do with Felix."Seeing Gras' stubbornness, Joaquin was unhappy. "What a stubborn man! You'd rather suffer losses than defile a dead person? Okay, you want to atone for your sins, r
Caesar kept his eyes on Felix the whole time, but the latter was already standing across from him when he heard the voice. It was as if his attack was nothing but a gentle breeze, and all it did was tousle Felix's sleeves feebly. As Felix boomed, commanding him to kneel, it felt like his very soul was struck, and he couldn't control himself but fell to his knees. "Give up your arms in respect of the dead!"Two loud bursts echoed in the air. Caesar didn't even realize it until after an intense pain shot forth from his hands. To his shock, his arms were blown to pieces. All that was left of them were the stubs at his shoulders. The blood flowing like an opened faucet at both mangled ends of the stubs was the only thing hinting at the terrible situation that had happened. "It can't be. This shouldn't have been possible!"Caesar flew into madness. The Flame Monarch approved of him, and he was one of the Royal Guards. As a Grandmaster Realm fighter, he couldn't believe he couldn
Felix's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse. He didn't need his domain to tell him that no one in Innswood Village survived the massacre. Every last one of them was in the corpse pile in the decimated house, unjustly granted an undignified death. Caesar remained unaffected, and his eyes grew more frigid as the seconds passed by. "Obviously, it's because they were involved with you. Needless to say, they deserved to die. It's baffling how you actually feel sad for these pieces of trash." Caesar laughed throatily when he was done speaking. It was as if he loved the idea of provoking Felix. But at the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly. Felix was gone. Caesar searched for Felix frantically, only to find that the latter appeared next to the corpse pile without him knowing. That was some frightening speed. Caesar's gaze froze. He finally understood that Felix wasn't just a doctor. No, the latter was also a martial artist. This explained why Felix had the courage
Naturally, Felix saw Dave as well. He immediately stopped his horse. The fact was that he didn't overthink the situation. "Mr. Abbott." Dave's heart was also filled with emotions as he looked at Felix. After all, the latter also cured his family of a complicated condition. "Dr. Zeller, there's nothing I can do for you except to see you off." Be that as it may, Dave knew that Felix's chances of survival were slim at best. This would be the last time he saw him in person. The Green King was actually quite pissed off at Felix. He had made it clear about what was at stake here, and yet Felix still foolishly threw his life away for a bunch of villagers. It was stupidity—plain and simple. "I appreciate it, Mr. Abbott. I'll be taking my leave now," Felix said.Joaquin, who hid in the dark, let out a sigh of relief after Dave saw Felix off. At first, he thought the Green King was actually going to intervene in this matter.Eira was also standing nearby the city gates. If Felix ha
Leandre?Felix chuckled bitterly. "Does he want me to stay away from the village as well?"Eira nodded. "That's right. Mr. Campbell has been through a lot of stuff in his life. Naturally, he could tell that Caesar didn't intend to let anyone survive. Your presence wouldn't make a difference. They're all dying."Felix had something different to say about this. "Their death is certain if I don't show up, but they will stand a chance to survive if I do."Eira sized him up solemnly. At that moment, it dawned on her that he was unexpectedly noble and heroic. People on Aquamarinus were constantly running schemes and setting each other up. Most of them cared only about themselves. Even so, someone as altruistic as Felix still existed. To drive the point home, he wasn't even doing this for his own family. "I've passed his message on. It's up to you what you want to do with it." Eira was about to leave, but something popped into her mind, and she added, "Does The Recovery Association se
A dozen villagers had been killed?Felix's face darkened. He made a careless mistake and underestimated just how far Caesar would go to avenge Justus. "Felix, the man said he'd slaughter everyone in Innswood Village if you didn't get back there!"Felix rubbed Lincoln's head and said in a comforting tone, "I'll return to the village first thing in the morning. Don't worry. I won't let anyone die."He was about to get up, but Lincoln didn't let him go. The latter lowered his head and said, "Actually, I know that the man deliberately let me out to tell you about what happened, Felix. "Eventually, I made my way here, but I did it for a selfish reason. The man is terrifyingly powerful, and I know you're not a match for him, but I truly have no other options left."Felix forced a faint smile. "You did the right thing. I'll handle it. After all, it is my responsibility to begin with."When he walked out of his room, Gras and the others were already waiting for him. "Dr. Zeller, this
