The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1381
Inside the pavilion, Felix reached the top floor. He spotted a young man with tan skin lounging on a couch. On the floor beside him was a pitiful-looking woman. The woman did not react to Felix's arrival at all. Her eyes were blank. The young man, however, spoke up. "Check her out. Can you fix her?" Felix did not move. Instead, he asked, "What happens if I can heal her?" This young man was clearly Koros, the Malevolent Phantom. He looked up at Felix with surprise. "Interesting. You're the first person who didn't even bother looking at her before trying to cut a deal." Though Felix stayed silent, his expression made it clear he was waiting for an answer. "It's simple. If you heal her, I'll leave Medic's Haven, and all these people can go on living their lives. Pretty good deal, right? But the real question is—can you actually do it?" Felix remained rooted to his spot. "I thought A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stuck in their territories. How are you moving around freely?"

Felix said, "I can try to save her, but headquarters gave me an order I must follow first." Upon seeing how Koros seemed unhappy but did not lash out, Felix knew he had an opening. "You need to tell me how you're controlling the lives of so many people in Medic's Haven." Koros licked his lips with a mocking smile. "You brat, do you think I'm an idiot? Why would I reveal the very thing that's keeping you in check?" Felix spread his hands. "Then I'm sorry, but I'm sure you know we have to look at the bigger picture here. Yes, we care about these few thousand lives, but compared to them, the billions of people in Dragonia matter more. "If you won't tell me, I'll have to follow headquarters' orders and leave. And I'll fight back if you attack me. Test me if you don't believe it." He refused to be led around by Koros. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the few thousand people in Medic's Haven who would die, but many more in the future. Koros' face went through a series of emotions.

Felix remained perfectly calm as he spoke, "Don't worry. You control hundreds of lives, so how could I not cooperate? But I can't ignore the headquarters' orders—I need to make a quick call to report in." Though impatience flashed in his eyes, Koros waved his hand dismissively. He felt that Felix or anyone else couldn't cause trouble in Medic's Haven. With so many lives under his control, he had nothing to fear. Walking to a corner of the room, Felix created a sound barrier, then turned his back and made a call. It wasn't to headquarters, but to Donna. Now that he had some information, he wanted to see if she could offer constructive advice as an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. Once the woman was healed, the real confrontation would begin. With so many lives at stake, he needed every advantage he could get. The fact that communications in Medic's Haven weren't blocked showed that Koros did not care about such things. He believed he had everything under control and could handle whate
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1384
Before Felix could respond, Donna continued, "Stop hiding your power. There are already extremely powerful soul cultivators among you humans who've fought us. They just wanted to show how strong they are." Felix was shocked that people like that existed. Wouldn't that mean all the efforts of headquarters could be ruined by such individuals in one go? He could not help but think of the Hall of Souls. Only those scumbags would do something so reckless without considering the bigger picture. After all, why would they care about anything else once they became traitors? "When he evolves, he must recall all his insects. This is your only chance. As for what to do, the choice is yours. "You have just two options—either break the cocoon when it forms or run away. Once the cocoon disappears, he'll become an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, and you won't be able to match him at your current level." The call ended just as Koros stood up, clearly having waited long enough. "It can be quite t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1385
With a loud bang, the woman's body crashed heavily to the floor in an instant. It was clear that something wasn't right with Koros. Koros asked, "Are you bowing to me? You stupid brat, did you think that would stop me from killing you?" Upon seeing Felix suddenly bow, Koros laughed even more uncontrollably. "Sorry." Only Felix knew who this bow was really for. It was for the woman, of course. With her mental disability, she likely felt little even as she died. And now that her soul was finally healed, she'd never get to experience what that meant.A soul wave spread throughout Medic's Haven. Then Felix watched as countless insects swarmed toward Koros at speeds that seemed like teleportation. In less than a second, Koros disappeared. In his place was a pure black shell, like an egg about ten feet in diameter. Strange black light danced across its surface. At this moment, Felix did not dare waste a second. This was exactly what he had been waiting for. "Lone Paragon!" He
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1386
Koros opened his eyes with difficulty, and they were filled with utter disbelief. Felix wasn't about to waste time with words. He knew to strike while the iron was hot, so he immediately launched his attack. He could tell that what appeared before him wasn't Koros' physical form, but his soul. With a miserable scream, Koros had no chance to fight back and was crushed on the spot by Felix. When it was all over, Felix was breathing heavily. To prevent any unexpected situations, he had really given his all, draining his soul energy at a frightening rate. "Well, at least the job's done." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Felix managed a faint smile. He had gained a renewed respect for how dangerous S-tier Malevolent Phantoms could be. He had gone all out this time, even using Lone Paragon to enhance his soul combat power for the first time. Meanwhile, the Mystical Explosive Orb began replenishing his energy rapidly. After the pleasant sensation subsided, Felix remained at the H

Felix's face turned ashen. Despite the fact that both Jack and Madeline were secretly protected by martial artists of the Transcendent Realm, his worst fears had come true. "Are the protectors dead?" he asked.To his surprise, Xena shook her head. "No. For whatever reason—maybe caution on their part—the attackers just knocked out the protection team." What frustrated Felix most was not knowing which faction was responsible. The only group he could rule out was the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians. Regardless of everything else, the Ancient Sage had a reputation to maintain and understood the principle of not harming families. If they hadn't played by the rules, the Eight Guardians would have already attacked Felix as a group, not one by one. That left the Hall of Souls and Specter as the most likely culprits. One had no moral boundaries and had already betrayed both country and humanity, so what other ethics would they possibly observe? As for Specter, being an S-tier Malevole
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1388
So, it was Specter! The call had ended, but Felix now understood what was actually going on. The one working with Ashton had to be Specter. Of course, Specter himself probably wouldn't show up. After all, Donna had already informed Felix that Specter wouldn't trouble him anymore, or she would take action against Specter regardless of the consequences. Specter must have sent others to do his dirty work. Besides, Specter had his own concerns—Zara was now his absolute nemesis. He certainly wouldn't appear in person until he had regained enough strength to fight. Felix sighed helplessly and slowly took out his phone. With two lives at stake, he really couldn't handle this situation alone. Elsewhere, Donna was with Specter. "I promised I wouldn't bother Felix anymore, and I'll keep my word. I've already tested your limits, so why are you still watching me like a hawk?" Specter sipped his tea in small gulps, seemingly in a good mood. "Watching you?" Donna scoffed. "Go ahead the

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

Three days came and went, and Felix felt a little helpless. "Do you guys have to do this?"Ever since Caesar returned, Ginny and Ryker had been on his heels. Ryker even guarded the door during nighttime, cutting off any chances of his escape. "My dad did this for your safety. Caesar is only allowed five days in Cloud City. Just bear with it for two more days, and he'll be gone by then."Felix felt helpless. He wasn't a fool. Why would he go beyond the city walls and give Caesar the perfect opportunity to kill him?A guard ran in from the yard. "Ms. Longstone, a beggar is at the entrance, asking to see Dr. Zeller. He said his name is Lincoln."A beggar? Ginny was wondering who the person was when Felix got up and said with a smile, "He is my friend. Bring him in here."From the looks of things, Lincoln was here in Cloud City. It wasn't an impossible feat either, but it was an incredibly troublesome one. Ordinary folks like them had to stay in town and travel for over half a day
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1541
Days went by, and Felix had nearly combed through the entire Cloud City. He spent most of his time at places like restaurants and coffee shops. Regrettably, he was still no closer to finding out the Flame Monarch's fighting prowess. He couldn't get any information about souls as well. Virtually no one had talked about it.Felix was also aware that Gras was setting him up with Ginny, but she had made it clear to him that she was just patronizing Gras. So, she merely asked him to go along with it a little.After all, her dreams had never changed. She still wanted to become a martial artist, and nothing would sway her from going down that path. Things had been so quiet at The Recovery Association that it made Felix wonder if he was actually one of them. Eira had never appeared ever since the last time he saw her. Just like that, two weeks came and went. But then, someone's return to Cloud City disrupted the peace and uneventful life that was meant to go on. That day, Felix was e

The reason Edmond dared to question Felix at all was that he was holding onto that one sliver of arrogance—he assumed Felix had only cured Christopher by pure luck, just because it happened to fall under his area of expertise.Otherwise, would he have even dared speak up? Not a chance.Once the silk threads were tied and tension filled the air, Felix spoke calmly after only a short pause. "Her Grace has a mild seasonal chill. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe her some herbal blends—she'll recover within five days. Or, if she prefers a quicker route, acupuncture will do the trick."The Green King blinked, clearly stunned by the response. "You mean you can heal her without medication?""That's right. No medicine necessary." At the same time, a soft, melodic voice floated from behind the curtain. Sydney Haye said, "My love, that sounds perfect. You know I hate taking medicine. Please, Dr. Zeller, come in and begin the treatment."...15 minutes later, Felix stepped back out in

Joaquin was on the edge of madness. He wanted nothing more than to kill Felix right there, but he didn't dare risk the entire Goldstein family just to satisfy that rage. Disobeying a royal summons meant immediate execution—there was no bluffing around it.After taking a deep breath, Joaquin forced himself to put on a smile. "Dr. Zeller, then tell me—what exactly do you need in order to head to the Green King Manor?"Felix had seen this kind of groveling far too many times before. "Gras is right outside your estate. Go talk to him. The sooner you two reach an agreement, the sooner I'll leave for the manor.""What? Gras is here?" Only now did Joaquin realize just how thoroughly he had been played. Everything had been a setup from the beginning, and he had walked straight into the trap.Time ticked by, and eventually, Gras strolled into the courtyard. He said, "Dr. Zeller, the talk went well. How's the view treating you so far?" From the smile on Gras's face, it was clear he hadn't

Not far away, Wagner silently prayed with all his might. "Come on, Felix, don't back down now. Keep acting like a hothead—because only then will you die."As for any retaliation from the Longstone family, he wasn't the least bit concerned. Things had already gone too far, and Joaquin clearly wasn't about to back down. He would definitely find a reason to escalate the fight, and if that weren't the case, Wagner wouldn't have dared tag along tonight.Maybe his prayer actually worked, because Felix shook his head. "Sorry, I came here just to cooperate with your investigation. Anything beyond that… I won't do."Just as Wagner thought Felix had sealed his fate, someone suddenly rushed in, holding something in his hand. "Mr. Goldstein! We've got trouble—Green King Manor just sent a royal summons!""What?" Joaquin's expression twisted as he snatched the letter. A summons from one of the nine Minor Kings was no small matter—when it was issued, compliance was mandatory. Ignoring it meant

In the past, no one dared provoke a family war so openly as it would've been a blatant slap in the Green King's face. But this time, the Goldsteins had the upper hand. After all, Justus was dead, and the Longstone family was a prime suspect. Hence, even if blood were shed, it could still be justified.Joaquin knew this well. He also understood that Gras would never give up Felix for the sake of the Longstones' reputation, so even forcing the standoff served his purpose.Just as the tension reached its peak and a battle was about to break out, Felix stepped forward on his own. "You're the head of the Goldsteins, right? I'll go with you."Joaquin narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Felix to boldly step forward."Dr. Zeller, please step back," Gras said.Felix glanced at Gras and said, "Thank you for everything, sir. But the truth will speak for itself. Once the investigation is done, I'm sure they'll let me return."Gras stayed silent, but Joaquin chuckled coldly. "Return? Do you
