The fact that Aiden knew Felix's true identity was not surprising. Though he had been too young to remember Cordelia's face and status when Victor was alive, Meredith had known everything. Expecting panic from Felix, Aiden instead heard a calm telepathic response. "Really? Then, go tell the royal family. I'm right here in Imperial City. Let them come for me." Watching Felix enter the restaurant, Aiden clenched his fists before leaving."Did he think I'd be afraid?" Felix was not concerned. If Aiden meant to talk, he would have done so long before this encounter.It was obvious that Kevin had taken the Dragonspine from the Skeletal Demon for Aiden's sake. After all, Aiden had been searching for it in the capital. He must have missed Felix during that time when Felix was not around.Now, Aiden surely knew Felix had several Dragonspine pieces. He wouldn't tell the royal family about him. Because if Felix died, the Dragonspine would be lost forever.After eating, Felix entered th

As the moment approached, Felix signaled Shepherd, who sighed while stroking the steering wheel. "Ah, you've been with me for years. This time you probably won't even be fixable. Goodbye." His sudden betrayal would definitely destroy the car. He seemed to have a genuine attachment to it."Don't worry, I'll get you another one."Behind the Mercedes-Benz, four masters of Transcendent Realm followed. They were maintaining the maximum distance where they could see the G63 without being detected by its occupants. "Stay alert. We're far enough from Imperial City. They could act at any moment." The leader had barely finished speaking when a companion complained, "We should have thought to turn Shepherd earlier. We would have succeeded already.""Shut up! Focus on the task at hand."Suddenly, at the edge of their vision, the G63 exploded. They heard Andre's furious roar. "Shepherd! How dare you attack me?"The four immediately accelerated toward the scene."Felix! Run! Shepherd has

Felix was stunned. His casual conversation with Dickson had proven true. The person emerging from Corpse Town was none other than Dean.Back then, Dickson had joked that with such a high bounty and no trace of the Maximus family, there were only two possibilities. Either they had gone to the capital, or they had hidden in one of the Three Forbidden Lands.But how likely was the latter? Everyone in Martial City knew the Three Forbidden Lands were places of no return. Why would the entire Maximus family hide there?Yet, here was proof. Their elder—and only master of the Transcendence Realm—had appeared. What more evidence was needed?Seeing his enemy made Dean's blood boil. Once, he, the Grand Elder, and two masters of Transcendent Realm had worked together. But not only had they failed to capture Felix, but they also watched him survive the Echo Cavern—a place that should have meant certain death.Though hiding in Corpse Town, Dean occasionally ventured out in disguise. That was wh

Felix stroked his chin and began walking slowly in one direction. As he observed from this street, Corpse Town was clearly vast. He could not even see where it ended."What exactly are the dangers here?" Ophelia had only mentioned the correct order to enter the Three Forbidden Lands, saying nothing about what lay within. Perhaps she didn't know herself or believed following the sequence would keep Felix safe.But that didn't matter now. He was already inside.As he walked, a young waiter emerged from a building with a tavern sign, greeting Felix by asking, "Sir, would you like a room or a meal?"Felix studied him carefully with a frown before answering, "A meal."An ordinary person would have been terrified. That was because the waiter's feet hovered slightly off the ground, which was barely noticeable unless one looked closely. "Right this way, sir." Inside, the tavern buzzed with activity. Every table except one was filled with people laughing, drinking, and chatting merrily
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1061
As they lunged at him, Felix pulled out his harmonica and began to play. When he first saw the waiter, he suspected the waiter was one of the wraiths Billy had mentioned. Normal martial arts wouldn't work against them, so the harmonica was his best option. But to Felix's surprise, the harmonica's sound only briefly slowed these creatures before they resumed their attack. They were neither human nor ghost. Just as he was about to retreat and burn the memorial coins, a white flash exploded through the tavern, followed by waves of agonized screams. "Lumen?"Felix froze in amazement. The mysterious dagger he had absorbed into his soul in Echo Cavern, which he'd never managed to control, was now protecting him automatically. Its power was incredible. While the harmonica couldn't hold them back for moments, Lumen cleared the entire tavern in less than a breath.When Lumen returned to his soul, Felix felt a pull. He left the tavern and immediately drew in a sharp breath. The previ

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

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

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

A day passed, and as Felix stepped out of the courtyard, he was immediately taken aback.The base of Trirock Mountain now had a sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even more late-stage Transcendent Realm experts had arrived."Nala, here are seven Ascension Pills. Keep them safe," he said.Nala accepted the box and, without hesitation, opened it in front of everyone. The seven pills inside gleamed in the light—genuine, without a doubt.For a moment, the gathered crowd was ablaze with excitement. This was unexpected—there should have only been six pills. This confirmed beyond a doubt that Felix's pill success rate was incredibly high.Dickson had already arranged everything with Laura, ensuring that the distribution process was orderly. There was no chance of chaos or disputes breaking out.Among the crowd, Barry was given a shove. "Go on, Barry! Just one Ascension Pill, and our Lufter family will rise again!"Barry's expression was dark with frustration. His fa

In truth, Zayn was lying. The wooden craving indeed blocked sound, but if someone held its paired counterpart, they could eavesdrop on the conversation. And that counterpart was in the hands of Josiah, the elderly man accompanying him."The fact that His Majesty values my talents is a great honor," Felix said with a polite smile. "However, I've always lived freely, and it was Harmony Clinic that nurtured me. I'm afraid I cannot accept the offer."Zayn was inwardly pleased—this wasn't even something he had to lead Felix into saying."You don't have to worry about Harmony Clinic," Zayn continued smoothly. "We can persuade Mr. Whitwell. As long as you're willing, it's not an obstacle."Felix, let me be honest with you—no matter how much you've seen or heard about the power of the royal family, it's just the tip of the iceberg. If you join us, you'll receive the highest level of treatment—even above us princes."And surely, you've heard of the Empress? The strongest force in Martial C

Everyone remained on high alert, but within a minute, eight late-stage Transcendent Realm experts appeared, arriving from different directions and in no particular order."Relax, I'm not here to cause trouble," one of them said with a smirk. "I heard that Mr. Zeller welcomes all late-stage Transcendent Realm experts and offers an Ascension Pill every two months. Is that true?"The others immediately chimed in with agreement. It turned out they had all come to be bodyguards, almost leading to an unnecessary misunderstanding. The timing was just too coincidental—eight experts arriving simultaneously was bound to raise suspicion.Hearing this, Felix chuckled. "Of course. If you place your trust in me, my promise stands."Whether some secretly worked for the royal family didn't matter. Felix was no longer someone who could be easily crushed. If anyone tried anything, he could kill them without hesitation. Besides, the first ten experts he had recruited were mostly people he already k

"Sorry, Nerissa. I keep breaking my promises to you, again and again," Felix said.Inside the courtyard, Nerissa sat beside Felix, gently shaking her head. "Don't say that. The royal family is watching from the shadows. Until this crisis is resolved, we won't have a moment of peace.Felix knew how understanding she was. He reached out and brushed her cheek, his gaze full of warmth."By the way, still no news from Westley?""Yeah. He's probably dead by now."Her words were blunt, but after nearly two years without any news, death was the most likely reality.Fortunately, Felix had emerged as her husband, or Westley, the patriarch of the Xavier family, would have been unable to hold his position any longer. However, with the royal family problem still unresolved, there was still an uneasy sense of impending disaster."Felix, your first guest has arrived."From outside, Deborah's voice came through.Felix rose, bringing Nerissa along. Since he was now in open conflict with the ro
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1071
If Felix had continued with his previous approach, the royal family would have only resorted to assassination—such matters were best handled discreetly.But now, things were different. Felix had openly begun pill cultivation, and soon, all of Martial City would know about it. Once people experienced it, they wouldn't be able to resist. If that happened, the royal family would lose control over the Ascension Pill—something they would never allow.That was why the Empress, Cordelia Palmer, called it an open provocation against the royal family's authority.She hadn't mentioned it before because she never believed Felix would dare go this far.All the princes had gathered inside the grand hall. The Emperor sat at the head, and when the Empress arrived, everyone—including the Emperor—rose to greet her. Her seat was beside his."Speak your minds."At the Emperor's command, Zayn immediately stood up. He already had personal grudges against Felix, and he wasn't willing to wait another s

"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

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
