The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 248
Finally, Dora made up her mind. "Let's do this! I, Dora, have never gambled once in my life. But this time, I'll go crazy with you!"Just as she finished speaking, three cars suddenly appeared, blocking the road both in front and behind. Dora was forced to slam on the brakes."Are they out of their minds? Who dares block my car?"But the next moment, she saw the license plates and immediately knew she was in trouble."Damn! It's my dad's car."Sure enough, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Right beside him was her brother, Sam."Damn it! It was Sam. He must have ratted me out."Dora turned to Felix with a pitiful expression. "Felix, can you come down with me? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me this time. Please help me explain."Felix sighed. He did owe Dora a favor for helping him earlier, so doing her this small favor was no big deal."Alright."After they stepped out of the car, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly

Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled."Felix? He was just a friend of mine."Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?"How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals. He could easily tell when someone was lying.The room fell silent as everyone turned to watch, especially Benedict. He stood up and sternly said, "Tell your uncle the truth!"A man of his experience could easily sense the seriousness in Bradley's demeanor.Although Zachary was puzzled, he hurriedly told the truth, "Uncle Bradley, it's true. I wanted to find out more about Felix. We had some disagreements, but it's not a big deal. I saw with my own eyes that the Phoenix Legion t

"Felix, I'm Bradley Sutton, colonel of the Phoenix Legion. My grandfather was once comrades-in-arms with Mr. Holt Senior."Felix's attitude naturally shifted when he heard Bradley's introduction. If Ernest was a war hero, how could Bradley's grandfather be any less significant?"Hey, Bradley, what can I do for you?" Felix asked with a friendly tone."Alright. Zachary is my nephew. From what I understand, your disagreement with him isn't too serious. Could you do me a favor and allow him to apologize to you? Honestly, I only just found out about this situation."Felix pulled the car over to the side of the road, smiling. "Since it is you, of course, I'll give you this courtesy."After all, their disagreement hadn't gone too far. If it had, even Bradley's intervention wouldn't have helped."Thank you very much. I'll make sure my cousin keeps an eye on Zachary in the future."With that matter resolved, Felix turned his car around and decided to head home.…Meanwhile, Dora, who w

After Felix arrived at Tabiner Bay, he pulled into the parking lot and handed his keys to the security guard. He then told Dora to send someone over for the car. As he walked past Yvonne's villa, he noticed her sitting in her yard, even though it was already late. "Want to come in for a bit?" she offered after they locked eyes. "It's alright. I'm kind of tired." Curiosity flickered in Yvonne's eyes. Felix actually managed to get back from the Phoenix Legion unscathed. It seemed unlikely that they would arrest someone by mistake. It would be ridiculous if the Phoenix Legion had mobilized their teams without solid evidence, wouldn't it? "What other secrets are you hiding, Felix?" As Yvonne muttered to herself, she steeled herself. This was precisely why she was sent here. But part of her hoped she would not uncover anything. If she did, the chances of him being together with her boss might just become higher. Felix had barely stepped into his yard when Sherlyn dashed over.

Outside, Jaden was approaching slowly with a faint smile on his face. "He can't even sense the killing intent I'm releasing on purpose. This Felix guy is pretty average, isn't he?" He wanted to test the waters. Otherwise, nobody could have noticed his movements with his skills. "Are you Jaden Hault?" A woman suddenly appeared and blocked his path. Jaden squinted as he sized her up. He then smiled. "Well, well, if it isn't Xena Summers! Never thought our first meeting would be at such a place and timing." Jaden had seen Xena's pictures countless times. Even if she had looked hideous, he would still marry her and treat her well. That was because his mentor's divination demanded it. However, what man wouldn't appreciate beauty? He had been struck by her looks in the photos, so he was naturally overjoyed. He had basically already claimed her as his woman. "You're indeed very strong. I can tell just from your killing intent." Xena had mixed feelings about this. She never expecte
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 253
Xena knew Jaden had already achieved the level of Martial King. He was capable of projecting Primordial Energy to kill invisibly. The security cameras had already been destroyed. There would be no evidence even if the murder happened right before her eyes. Martial artists of this caliber were normally handled by the headquarters. Even as the goddess of war, she was not qualified to face someone of his strength. In desperation, Xena blurted out, "If you kill him, I will never be with you!" Frowning, Jaden lowered his hand. "Fine. I'll spare his life since you're the goddess of war and have duties to fulfill. But you'll have to explain this to your mentor. If not, my vow to him would become a joke."Xena sighed in relief. "I'll explain everything." The two of them left.In the yard, Felix had just seen Sherlyn off, too. He merely glanced their way without much concern. He would have confronted Jaden for sure if Xena had not been there. But since she was present, he preferred no

It was just a joke. Ernest continued, "Promise me something. If you give it a shot and still don't have any feelings for Sherlyn, tell her straight. I'm worried she'll fall too hard and end up hurting more later." Felix gave a wry smile. "Do you really think I'm that irresistible?" To his surprise, Ernest nodded firmly. "That's right. Some people are born to be great. So, women would flock to them naturally. My granddaughter is not some untouchable goddess after all—it's only natural she'd fall for you." Such high praise made Felix feel a bit awkward. "If that's how it turns out, I will." This seemed to be just the warm-up. Ernest set down his fishing rod and looked Felix in the eyes. He said, "I've got a favor to ask you." Felix became a bit fidgety. "You're always making me nervous." Ernest waved him off with a grave look. "This is about our national pride. I don't take that lightly. Our Dragonian culture has kept martial arts alive for thousands of years, and the same

Felix stood up. He had never seen Gerald this furious before, so something big must have happened. "I'm listening, Mr. Hoffman." Even Ernest looked over curiously. For someone as young as Felix to have such exceptional medical skills, his mentor could not be an ordinary man, either. "Guneria's gone too far! How dare they look down on our traditional medicine that's been passed down for generations? There's going to be a medical competition with them soon." Felix then realized that Gerald's anger was because of the same thing Ernest had just mentioned. "Mr. Hoffman, another respectable hero had already asked me to participate. Don't worry. I'll make sure those Gunerian jerks leave in tears." Gerald laughed. "Is that so? Then, I won't say much more. If you don't crush them completely, don't bother showing your face to me again." "Mr. Holt Senior, my mentor's call was about the same thing. He's furious, too." Ernest smiled. Having devoted himself to the country, he naturally

"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

Xena turned around, her eyes burning with rage as she glared at Specter. "I told you to stay hidden, didn't I? But no, you just had to be stubborn. Happy now?"She was on the verge of falling apart. From then on, she and Felix were done for good. As for headquarters, she would have no choice but to resign on her own. After all, if Felix reported her for colluding with a Malevolent Phantom, it would not just end with her quitting.Specter gave a bitter smile, unable to say anything. He would have never expected that Felix had grown this fast. The guy was already strong enough in the Ethercore Realm to go head-to-head with an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. If Specter had known that, he definitely would have stayed in hiding. Xena added, "You've got one month. Don't forget what you owe me."Specter nodded before finally speaking. "Don't worry. You saved my life—of course, I'll hold up my end. Just give me a month, and I'll vanish without a trace."Now that he had crossed Felix, pushing

Clearly, Specter sensed the brutal force behind this next attack—every single scale on his body shot up to shield him. Suddenly, a soul-crushing wave of power rippled outward. Though he managed to block the strike, his scales began to dissolve in massive clusters, proving just how devastating the blow had been.At almost the exact same moment, Lumen flanked around and pierced through Specter from behind.Even someone like Specter, an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, could not endure the pain that deep—it struck straight into his soul. Before he could recover, Lumen drove through him twice before his scales intercepted the strikes."Xena!" Specter roared again. His soul had already been damaged—there was no way he could take Felix head-on anymore. With injuries like this, he would need an excruciatingly long recovery. If something did not happen soon, he would actually die right here.Even now, Specter could not wrap his head around how Felix had grown so strong so fast. Killing one or

"Is that so? Funny—I didn't even realize it myself." Felix shot Specter a cold, mocking glare.Specter had humiliated him like this the last two times they had crossed paths, so now, it was time for payback—an eye for an eye.Specter was no longer the calm and collected figure he had been moments ago. As an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, he knew exactly what stepping into Ethercore Realm meant—it was the level where humans could finally go toe-to-toe with beings like him.Then again, it made no sense. It had only been a month since his last ambush on Felix—how could anyone grow this fast? This kind of leap was absurd, even with Donna's Mystical Explosive Orb providing feedback energy. If that Orb could boost someone to this extent, it would have been exposed to the world by now."Things are different now, Specter. Everything you created with your own hands back then—today, I'm returning it all."Suddenly, Specter laughed again. "Come on, Felix, you know how it goes. Sometimes, we hav

Felix's face was completely expressionless. "There's no point in saying all this now. What I want to know is—why are you here?"He did not even care about the reason behind the lie anymore. He was about to walk into a battlefield where life and death were up in the air—he had no time to deal with drama, but seeing Xena here was still a surprise.Xena took a deep breath and looked serious. "Can you let Specter go for now? I'm not defending a Malevolent Phantom—I just mean, maybe you could deal with the others first?"Felix frowned hard, and he stared at her like she had just grown a second head. "I can't believe those words actually came out of your mouth. You're the Phoenix Warlord, and you better give me a damn good reason for that."Xena felt her heart sink—there was no way she could tell him the real reason. "Please, Felix. Just let him go for now. I promise I'll explain everything later."At that point, Felix knew there was no way of getting answers from her, so he stepped for

Felix frowned. It had only been one night since he had asked Xena to look into Specter, so he honestly did not expect any results yet. However, Hector's words threw him off, making him feel uneasy.He asked, "Mr. Downy, are you saying you've already found a lead on Specter, but Xena didn't tell me?"Hector confirmed it without hesitation because Xena was nowhere near his level in terms of both trust and how long they had known each other. He explained, "That's right. I only found out because someone from Skynet happened to report it, and once I realized it was someone you were personally looking for, I told them to prioritize it. "Then, I found out Xena hadn't said a word to you—so yeah, I figured I'd step in. Whatever's going on between you two is your business, but I'll send you the address now."Hector even chuckled a little, clearly thinking Felix and Xena were just having a lover's spat. He had no clue how much that information shook Felix to the core.Meanwhile, Felix quest

Billy said enthusiastically, "You know what, Felix? Other than Mr. Hoffman, you're the only person I truly respect! Seriously, you've got a family, you've reached a level most people can only dream of, you're swimming in money, and yet you're still out there on the front lines. "And now you're about to risk your life again for everyone else. I heard from Mr. Hoffman about those Star Alliance tournaments. The death rates are so high it's basically insane, so you should know what I'm trying to say."Felix gave a bitter smile. "If everyone backs down, then what future is there? Back in the early days of Dragonia, before I was even born, our ancestors gave their blood and lives so we could live the way we do now."If it weren't for them paving the way, I wouldn't even have the chance to risk my life—hell, a single bomb could've dropped on me the moment I was born, and that would've been the end of it." Billy gave him a thumbs up and chuckled. "That's exactly why I admire you, man. Al
