Felix nearly choked on his own spit. He quickly cleared his throat and blurted out, "You sure you called the right person?"For a second, he panicked. If anyone else had overheard that, they would have thought Xena was announcing his child's birth.Xena replied, "No mistake. I was just too shocked. This is huge."Felix frowned and asked, "Alright… Then, why are you telling me about this?"Xena's tone turned serious. "Felix, we've been monitoring a Malevolent Phantom for a while. We finally took it down. But here's the thing—its wife was already pregnant, and just now… she gave birth."Felix's expression darkened as he thought, "Its wife? No—more accurately, the wife of the human the Malevolent Phantom has replaced."He mumbled aloud, "Are you saying…""You guessed it," Xena confirmed grimly. "To be sure, we called in Dr. Morris. He made a small incision on the newborn's arm, and the wound healed instantly."Felix gasped, wondering what the hell was going on. The idea of a Malev

Donna explained, "I call them hybrids because they aren't real Malevolent Phantoms. They just inherit certain traits, which aren't always the same! "For example, some might have regenerative abilities purely on a physical level—this doesn't require soul energy. Their bodies just heal on their own. Others might inherit aspects related to soul energy, but overall, there's no fixed rule."However, one thing is certain. At least from what I know, Malevolent Phantoms cannot truly reproduce by merging with other species. No matter what, they won't give birth to a real Malevolent Phantom."Felix latched onto that last sentence, his grip tightening as he quickly asked, "Then, if they aren't real Malevolent Phantoms, does that mean whoever's controlling you guys can't reclaim them?"Donna replied, "Exactly! A hybrid is just that—a hybrid. Think of it like ligers, the lion-tiger hybrids humans breed. They're entirely new species. How could the ones controlling us possibly reclaim them?"Fe

Chloe stepped into the treatment room and found herself face-to-face with a middle-aged doctor, Stewart. He looked like he was in his 40s and was wearing a surgical mask.He said, "Hello! Lie down.""Alright," Chloe mumbled. She followed the instructions given by the person on the street—pay the fee, stay silent, and go through with a routine cleaning. Coincidentally, she had actually gotten her teeth cleaned before, so the entire procedure felt exactly the same. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, she could not help but wonder if this could actually cure her body odor. Just then, Stewart said, "You're all set. You can leave now."Chloe wanted to ask more questions but held herself back. She stepped out of the dental clinic and walked a block in the agreed-upon direction before Felix appeared."Open your mouth," Felix said. Then, he swirled a cotton swab inside her mouth and examined it closely in the light.Just like that, he already knew what was going on.Chloe as

"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa

By the time Felix stepped out of his room, everyone was already gone. With his departure, his fellow apprentices likely wouldn't stay in Eden Village either.Thinking about it made Felix fume. Three years ago, Gerald had brought him here and then disappeared without a trace. It was utterly irresponsible of him.The sounds of knocking pulled Felix from his thoughts.He looked up to see several unfamiliar faces standing at the courtyard gate. Even though the gate was open, they hadn't entered, showing some degree of politeness.Felix walked over and noticed a few Mercedes G-Wagons parked outside the clinic. Evidently, these were wealthy individuals."Excuse me. Is the miracle doctor here?" asked a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. His name was Vincent Kinsley."The miracle doctor left this place almost three years ago."Vincent's face fell. The miracle doctor was a legend in Dragonia's medical world. He was their last hope, and now, he was gone.Besi

While Xena loved Curtis dearly and had tried every means to cure him, a troubling thought crept into her mind: she hoped he wouldn't wake up at this moment.That was because Felix was insufferable. Not only was he useless, but he also dared to act superior in front of a goddess of war like her. He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with.Felix didn't respond to her condescending remarks. Instead, he rushed over to check Curtis' pulse, his expression growing serious. "It's the Phantom Poison. No wonder."Xena frowned. "Are you saying Grandpa's been poisoned?""That's right. It's the most potent Phantom Poison there is. If it had been detected earlier, I could have neutralized it immediately. But it's been over a year, and it has become more complicated."We need some rare herbs to treat it. Thankfully, the master healers you contacted did a decent job. Though they couldn't remove the poison, they managed to keep him alive."Xena's expression twisted with a mix of emotions. "Lo

"Please, Dr. Fielding! Save my father. I'll give anything!" Vincent pleaded desperately.Bernard's life was crucial for the family, and as his son, Vincent was willing to do whatever it took.Xander sighed. "Your father will not make it through the night. But since I'm here, you have another option. I can extend his life by a month. Decide quickly."Before Vincent could respond, Bernard croaked out with great struggle, "D-Do it."Vincent quickly agreed. Prolonging Bernard's life for a month was better than losing him now.Meanwhile, Wendy had slipped out of the room, looking visibly torn as she held her phone. She remembered the phone number Felix had given them earlier that day due to her sharp memory."Grandpa, I'll do anything for you," she murmured, her face set with determination.…At a certain residential area in Avesburgh, Felix stood in front of a three-story villa, feeling a mix of emotions. It had been three years since he last saw Warren Quinton.Warren had been hi
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 5
The Quintons turned to Felix, each with different emotions. Warren felt an inexplicable excitement, whereas Nattie's and Sasha's faces were full of contempt."Felix, you've really learned a thing or two in the past three years," Nattie remarked, her tone dripping with sarcasm despite the seemingly complimentary words."A Rolls-Royce? Felix, you're amazing. I bet a helicopter will come pick you up the next time," Sasha chimed in with blatant mockery."Uncle Warren, I'll visit you again," Felix said, ignoring their words. He had more pressing matters, as the person with the Miracle Card required immediate aid.As Warren saw Felix out, Nattie and Sasha reluctantly followed. Their expressions shifted slightly upon seeing the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the gate, but they remained unimpressed."Are you Mr. Felix Zeller?" asked a man in a tailored suit and white gloves. He was Marco Jensen, the Kinsley family's chauffeur.Upon Felix's confirmation, Marco opened the car door for him a

Felix remarked, "You sure know a lot."He sighed. At this point, he had given up on being surprised—Billy seemed to know everything.Billy replied, "I was just thinking out loud, really. But Mr. Hoffman didn't tell you, and he didn't warn you not to listen to me, either… which probably means he's already given his silent approval!"He added, "When you reach peak Grandmaster, the nine Dragonspine fragments will completely dissolve. Normally, they would merge into your body, unleashing an indescribable energy that continuously strengthens your physique. "Now imagine that—combined with Dragon Punches—how powerful you'd be."Dragon Punches was a technique that had only appeared after Felix had gathered the final Dragonspine fragment and ascended to Grandmaster. Yet, somehow, Billy knew about it, too.All the techniques recorded in Dragons Destroyer had vanished, leaving behind only Dragon Punches—a purely physical combat technique. He had never used it before because he had not enco
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1211
As the Malevolent Phantom spoke, his legs fully regenerated. He stood tall, looking at Felix with unwavering confidence. Just then, the roar of an approaching car filled the air.The vehicle screeched to a stop, and the doors flung open. A boy and a girl, no older than eight years old, jumped out and ran straight toward the Malevolent Phantom.They shouted, "Daddy!"The Malevolent Phantom knelt down, wrapping his arms tightly around the two children. His eyes were filled with nothing but warmth and love as he asked, "My little ones, what are you doing here?"They replied excitedly, "We missed you! Mr. Dunphy brought us. It's so late, and you still haven't come home! You promised to tell us a bedtime story tonight!"Felix's raised hand trembled. He finally understood why the Malevolent Phantom was so certain he would not be killed. To these two children, the Malevolent Phantom was their father. His body and voice were identical—the only difference was the soul inside."This is D
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1210
No matter how much a Malevolent Phantom knew, the only thing that was ultimately recovered from them was the extent of humanity's mastery over the soul—nothing else.According to Donna, when a Malevolent Phantom was killed, only a tiny fragment of their remaining soul was retrieved. It was not enough to record everything they had learned—only the most critical information was preserved.So, in the end, whatever intelligence a Malevolent Phantom gathered during its time on Earth did not matter.Felix narrowed his eyes and said, "You're pretty smart. No, actually, a lot of you Malevolent Phantoms seem to have figured this out. Is that why so many of you beg for your lives?"A flicker of hope flashed in the Malevolent Phantom's eyes, and he replied in a serious tone, "I know martial artists like you are bound by your oaths. If you swear on the heavens that you won't kill me, I'll give you some valuable information."Felix did not hesitate. Raising his hand, he declared, "I swear on t

Felix was a Grandmaster. From this close, he could tell immediately whether Malevolent Phantom had used a technique to heal his broken arm or if it had simply regenerated on its own. That was why he made that remark.The Malevolent Phantom frowned. He replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."Then, as if deciding it was not worth the trouble, he muttered, "Whatever. You're strong. I'll give you that. But this isn't that big of a deal, so I'll let you walk away unharmed."Felix's mouth twitched. This was the second Malevolent Phantom he had encountered—after Karina's incident—that actually knew when to back down.It seemed that just like humans, Malevolent Phantoms changed depending on their environment and way of life. The weaker ones, in particular, were more likely to adapt, which was probably why they only killed when they absolutely needed to feed."I'm just a martial artist," Felix said, smirking. "Are you really that afraid of dying?"The Malevolent Phantom

If Felix had not come, no one would have noticed the distinct scent on the victims' bodies. Without that clue, the culprits could have continued their crimes without restraint.He muttered, "Was this all planned by the A-tier Malevolent Phantom? I have a really bad feeling about this."The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became. Could something this organized and meticulously executed really be the work of just one Malevolent Phantom? If humans were involved, that would be far more terrifying.When it came to outside threats, no matter how horrifying, the people of Dragonia had always been willing to fight to the bitter end. However, history had a way of repeating itself—if traitors had existed in the past, who was to say they did not exist now?Eventually, Felix said, "Chloe, here's the plan. Tomorrow, you'll go to this dental clinic. You won't see me, but I'll be watching from the shadows. I promise you won't be in any danger."Then, he pulled out a check. He ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1207
Felix had not expected Gerald to bring up the Ancient Sage and the Eight Guardians on his own.Gerald replied, "Quit worrying about me and my brother. Karina already told me everything, and since you've already clashed with the Eight Guardians, you might as well see it through to the end."With that, the call ended. Felix felt a rush of excitement. At least now, he had something solid to report to Eloise.Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think this would be easy. If Gerald had set this as his goal, it meant the Eight Guardians were not just some random pushovers.Now that he had already crossed paths with Ashton, he did not need to look for trouble—the rest of them would definitely come after him sooner or later. There was no way they would just sit back and do nothing if one of their own was taken out.But so far, Felix had only encountered two of them—Ashton and Bonnie. The other six remained a mystery, and that was the real problem.By the time the sun was setting, his
