The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1295
When Felix woke up, he sighed. Just as he had expected, the night had been eerily quiet. Nothing had happened.The people at Laurel Resort had clearly been through the trials before. The voices he had heard must have belonged to those trapped here. Their only thought now was to keep living in this place until death took them.The disappearance of the head chef was enough to confirm that people had already died at Laurel Resort. The exact number was unknown, but it was imperative to put a stop to it before more unexpected incidents occurred. After all, the S-tier Malevolent Phantom was acting purely on instinct. What if, one day, its soul core completely collapsed? Could the humans trapped here still be considered safe?At the designated meeting spot, Felix met with the personnel sent by headquarters."Sir, the three individuals you requested successfully checked in before sunset yesterday."Felix nodded. "Good."Then, a thought crossed his mind. "Do you have any countermeasures

Since the trial had begun, it had to be the three people he had arranged through headquarters.Before long, a man appeared. He had only one ear but was incredibly muscular."Donovan Williamson, welcome to House of Wrath. I am the gatekeeper of this trial," Felix said. "You failed the first challenge, so you should know the rules by now. Before you can truly challenge me, you have to complete a test first."The familiar screen appeared again, displaying the same words—anger and damage.Donovan didn't say a single word. Instead, he simply looked around the grand hall, studying his surroundings with curiosity."Alright. Let's begin," Felix continued.The same little girl from before appeared, selling her roses with the same pure, innocent smile.Donovan slowly bent down and gave her an eerie grin. "Alright. I will buy a rose from you. However, in exchange, you have to give me a gift," he said.The girl blinked. "What gift do you want?""Your eyes."The moment he spoke, Donovan g

As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Felix felt a surge of excitement."Finally."He followed the attendant down a secluded path to the most remote building in Laurel Resort.Felix had been here before, but the last time he tried to enter, the attendant stopped him. He could also sense a terrifying spiritual force lingering in the area, making it clear that forcing his way in was impossible.He hadn't forgotten what Donna had told him. Going head-to-head with an S-tier Malevolent Phantom was no different from seeking death.However, he had no trouble entering when he entered with the attendant. That only confirmed his suspicions that a gatekeeper wouldn't be discarded so easily. He was certain the Malevolent Phantom wanted to devour him."The boss is inside. Just go straight ahead." The attendant opened the door and stepped aside, clearly unwilling to enter."Thank you."As soon as Felix walked in, the door shut behind him.The hallway wasn't long, but even with the lig

With a buzz, the crimson sphere trembled violently, releasing a thick red mist that quickly spread toward Felix.He didn't know exactly what it was, but he wasn't stupid. If it touched him, his chances of survival would plummet.With a thought, the Inkspire Quill appeared in his hand. He casually sketched a few strokes in the air. At first glance, it seemed useless, but Felix knew better. This was one of his trump cards.If the Inkspire Quill didn't work, he'd have to resort to one of the techniques from the Phaeron Codex."Ahh! What did you do? What kind of soul-bounded weapon is that?"A pained voice echoed through the room, filled with agony, as if something was corroding its very soul.The red shield that had been clashing evenly with Lumen, as well as the crimson threads attacking Infinite Shield, all faltered, their movements becoming erratic. Even the mist, which had been expanding relentlessly, began to retract.Felix wasn't about to waste this opportunity. Lumen shot fo

Inside a suite at Laurel Resort, a middle-aged man with a face full of pockmarks suddenly furrowed his brows. "Why am I still staying here? Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it."Muttering to himself, he got up and hurried toward the door. He moved so quickly that when he reached the lobby, he didn't even bother checking out. He just walked straight outside.However, he hadn't gone far before he suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Why are there so many people from headquarters here?"Sensing something was wrong, the middle-aged man's figure flickered and disappeared in an instant. Then, he reappeared by a mountain stream some distance away from the resort.He muttered, "That was close. I almost got surrounded. But why is headquarters deploying so many people to encircle Laurel Resort?"A voice suddenly answered him, saying, "Because there's a Malevolent Phantom inside. That's why."Before he could react, he realized his body was no longer under his control."F

There was no doubt that the Phaeron Codex was truly powerful. Just the Spirit Eye technique alone proved its worth. Not only did it work without physical contact, but as one's strength grew, its range extended as well. Most importantly, unlike Soul Manifestation, using Spirit Eye didn't cut off one's awareness of the outside world."I've erased the ties Hall of Souls left on your soul," Felix said.The middle-aged man was utterly stunned. No wonder the organization had warned them to avoid any confrontation with Felix for now. Felix had already reached a terrifying level that he could even remove the soul-binding constraints."You're one of Hall of Souls' Green Soul Scouts, aren't you?"At this point, his fate was no longer in his own hands. What reason was there to deny it?"Yes, I am."A bitter smile crept onto his face. "But honestly, you won't get much valuable information from me. While we rank above Blue Soul Scouts and can access some hidden details, it's not much. "

Felix quickly turned his head to see a man rushing toward him about 30 feet away. The man's arms were unnaturally long, completely beyond a human's reach. If they hung naturally, his fingertips would've easily touched his ankles.His speed was terrifying. Using his arms to propel himself forward, he crossed the long distance in almost a blink of an eye. On the other hand, Felix stood still—not even raising his fists.An invisible force immediately hit the strange man. There was a bang as the man's whole body exploded, his head flying into the air. As the head fell to the ground, a body seemed to sprout from the base of the neck. Felix had only seen such regeneration in Malevolent Phantoms before, and it could only happen after getting destroyed multiple times. A slight frown formed on his face. Felix slowly raised his right hand, stretching out his index finger before tapping lightly.There was another bang, though much quieter than before. The man who just regrew his body stood s

Since even the man—a Green Soul Scout—confirmed Felix's thoughts, this was most likely the latest experiment. Despite using his domain, he couldn't sense the Malevolent Phantom in the man. This could only mean one thing—the range of control over these things had exceeded his domain."The soul ties on you. Hall of Souls can always track where you are, right?" "Yes."With that answer, Felix finally understood how Hall of Souls found him. However, the only thing he couldn't figure out was why they were using experiments against him, knowing that it was useless."Alright. Let's get back to the Black Soul Scout you mentioned."…More than ten minutes later, Xena and Hector arrived with a group of people. Felix handed the Green Soul Scout over to them and pointed at the headless corpse. "That should be the latest experiment developed by Hall of Souls. We seem to have quite some trouble on our hands."After listening to his explanation, the two of them frowned. "I didn't expect Ha

After returning to Newtown, Felix's life gradually settled into a steady rhythm. Naturally, he informed his family about his upcoming departure.Thankfully, both Cordelia and Nerissa were understanding people. They didn't question him. Instead, they offered their full support and encouragement.Jack, Madeline, and the others also made a trip to Newtown at Felix's invitation. He didn't tell them anything specific, treating the meetup as a casual reunion.Days passed, and with only half a month remaining, the inevitable finally came.Felix was out shopping with Nerissa that day when an SUV suddenly pulled over beside the street. The window rolled down, revealing an ordinary-looking old man behind the wheel, staring directly at Felix."Nerissa, you should head back first," Felix said.Sensing something was up, Nerissa clutched his arm tightly. "Honey, I'm going to call Eloise and the others."They all knew about the existence of the Ancient Sage, so the moment she saw the man, she

Xena didn't look the least bit afraid. Instead, she simply turned her head and smiled."You must be Donna, the S-tier Malevolent Phantom Specter mentioned. You're the one who can peacefully coexist with Felix, right?"That's right. The newcomer was Donna. In fact, when she called Felix earlier, she was already in the city."Yes." Donna nodded.Without hesitation, Xena tossed the Mystical Explosive Orb over."I'm not interested in this thing. It's yours now. Just... don't kill me."Donna's eyes held a curious glint, but she still reached out and caught the orb."It seems like you've really changed a lot, and your instincts are sharp. How'd you know I came to kill you?"Xena stayed silent.Donna turned and walked away. "Whether I kill you or not doesn't make much difference to me. I'll spare you this time. Who knows, maybe someday, you and Felix will clash again."…Later that day, Donna sat across from Felix in a small restaurant."This is where our partnership ends," he sai

Was Felix actually qualified to learn the Phaeron Codex? Why? How was that even possible?As someone who practiced the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem, the Scarlet Lord had faced all kinds of enemies. Even when he couldn't win, he could usually survive. There was one exception—someone who could cultivate the Phaeron Codex. That was a threat he couldn't possibly contend with.However, the Phaeron Codex was nearly impossible to find, let alone master. On top of that, its cultivation requirements were absurdly high. In all these years, no one had managed to learn it until now. And that someone was Felix?The Scarlet Lord knew then that he wasn't getting out of this alive. Running into Felix was like a rat running into a tiger. No—it was worse.Now suppressed by the Phaeron Projection, he couldn't unleash a single technique. This was the fatal weakness of the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem. And who would've thought the second person to master the Phaeron Codex would appear at just this
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1485
When Felix first discovered a scout of the Hall of Souls, he noticed red threads inside the man's soul.He'd discussed it with Billy at the time and learned about the existence of the Scarlet Lord and the twisted cultivation method known as the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem.He just never imagined that the Scarlet Lord would still be alive. Even Gerald had said that anyone who could maintain consciousness while cultivating the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem was incredibly dangerous and a nightmare to deal with.In other words, the Scarlet Lord might actually be more terrifying than Francis. After all, he'd lived for countless years, too."Haha! What's the matter, Felix the Invincible? Afraid to make the first move?"Specter burst into laughter when he saw Felix just standing there, expressionless and not even trying to fight.To be honest, if it weren't for the Scarlet Lord being here to wipe Felix out personally, Specter wouldn't have had the courage even to try setting a trap.

When the car came to a stop, Felix saw what looked like a rural guesthouse-style building. Judging by how desolate the surrounding area was, it had been abandoned for a long time."Specter is inside, just ahead. He can sense me, but he won't run," the Phantom said.Felix extended his senses. Inside the compound, he sensed three people. They were all currently in the courtyard.In the blink of an eye, Felix grabbed the man who had led him there and vanished. When he reappeared, they were already inside the guesthouse.Felix sneered. "Xena, you've really fallen far.One of the three people present was Xena.It had only been a month since he'd last seen her, but she had changed so much that he barely recognized her. And it wasn't just her gaze—her outfit alone was enough to make him do a double take.A tiny miniskirt, an extremely revealing top, and a flirtatious expression. If it weren't for the aura confirming her identity, Felix would've thought she was just someone with a simil

Felix could tell the four figures were moving fast. However, their speed didn't impress him at his current level.He even had time to pick up his phone when Donna called."Felix, bad news! I just got solid intel. The others are panicking since you've already killed three S-tier Malevolent Phantoms. Somehow, word got out that you're the one behind it, and now the S-tiers are teaming up to take you down!"Who else leaked it? There was no doubt that it was Specter. Who else would do that?"Oh yeah? Well, you're a little late. I've already run into four of them working together. But this explains a lot. I was wondering why they'd suddenly join forces.""What? You've already run into them?" Donna was stunned. "What will you do? Can you get away?"Felix let out a cold chuckle. "Why run? This is a golden opportunity. Just wait for the good news. Soon, you can get the Mystical Explosive Orb back."According to Donna, once the Mystical Explosive Orb overflowed, it couldn't rebound any mo

"Hmm. Not bad," Francis sneered, lifting his hands again. His face suddenly began to tear apart. In the blink of an eye, another face emerged, twisting grotesquely as it rapidly expanded and launched itself toward Felix.Felix didn't flinch. With the added power of the Phaeron Projection, he finally unleashed his ultimate move."Six Word Mantra—Astral Bloom!"The grotesque face instantly shattered, obliterated into pieces, and redirected toward Francis.A flicker of seriousness passed through Francis's eyes. He clearly recognized how powerful that move was.After all, this technique from the Phaeron Codex was unleashed under the full amplification of Lone Paragon. Its power was nothing to scoff at.When the smoke cleared, Francis's figure looked noticeably dimmer."This isn't over, kid!"Francis retreated, and Felix didn't chase him. He had already thrown out every card he had. Who knew what else that old monster was hiding? It was better to leave it at that.At the very lea

Malachar was dead.Felix's eyelids twitched slightly. Although he and Specter had previously clashed in a fierce and breathtaking battle, there had ultimately been no clear outcome.However, he'd done it on his own this time—he had truly taken down an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. While he didn't think this guy was as strong as Specter, he was still undoubtedly S-tier.After spending a full day and night healing over 20 people and their souls, Felix met up with Donna at the hotel."Next one," he said.Donna let out a wry smile. Even she felt a trace of fear now toward Felix."We're still tracking it down. We should be able to find it soon."Felix closed his eyes. "Let me know when you've found it."…Just like that, a month passed, and Felix had eliminated three Malevolent Phanttal. The terrifying power of the Phaeron Codex and the soul-refining feedback from the Mystical Explosive Orb elevated his soul cultivation once again. He reached the Quantacore Realm, and his overall st

After hanging up, Donna stared off into the distance. She murmured, "Felix, just how far can you really go?"...Late at night, inside a luxury estate, Malachar lounged on a velvet couch in the living room, chain-smoking in silence. He could not shake the restlessness gnawing at him—something felt off, which was strange because he had never experienced anything like this before.Suddenly, Malachar frowned as a blinding silver light burst from his body, flinging away something that had just tried to strike him. He snapped, "Who's there?"He was stunned—someone actually had the guts to try and assassinate an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like him. However, there was no answer, only a terrifying wave of soul-based energy rushing in, instantly alerting him to the situation's severity.His body flared up again, even brighter than before, and he let out a furious roar. "I've got over 20 lives in my hands—if you keep attacking, they'll all die!"That threat seemed to work. Before the attac
