The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 252
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

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

Just then, Yvonne's boss called. "Miss." "That woman in the photo you sent yesterday is Sherlyn, Ernest Holt's granddaughter." What? Ernest Holt? Yvonne was shocked. Having followed her boss for so long, of course she would know such a prominent figure. "My goodness, miss! How could someone of Sherlyn's status be associated with Felix?" Surprisingly, she laughed. "Ernest has settled in Avesburgh, right next door to Felix. Given how low-key Ernest is, some interaction as neighbors should be normal. It's probably just surface-level pleasantries, nothing big."As for why Sherlyn helped Felix, perhaps Ernest just didn't like how the Phoenix Legion was making such a fuss over an ordinary person, so he sent his granddaughter to smooth things over. No need to read too much into it. "But if Felix really did earn Ernest's support, he might just have a shot at climbing the social ladder." The call ended abruptly, leaving Yvonne with a bitter smile. The reason why her boss could be

"Just give me the account number." Logan smiled. Judging from Felix's attitude, things would be easier to deal with. "Not so fast. After paying, this Harold kid has to be a greeter at the restaurant entrance for a week. He'll have to be on his knees and greet every customer who comes in round the clock." Felix, who was about to open his banking app, frowned at Logan. "Is that really necessary?" Harold cheerfully shrugged. "I don't mind. I trashed their stuff, so of course I should apologize properly." Despite Harold's nice words, he would likely kick up a fuss once the money was transferred. This was clearly meant to humiliate him, so there was no way he would actually kneel there as a greeter. "Who owns this place?" At this point, Felix had to address the root of the problem. Logan looked Felix up and down with a disdainful look. "What? Trying to pull strings? Let me tell you something. The owner of this restaurant is way out of your league. Even Avesburgh's richest couldn

Good lord! Terrified, Logan swallowed hard. Felix must have had an insanely powerful background if even Zachary had to speak that way to him. "Y-Yes, Mr. Xanthos. I understand." Felix then said to Zachary, "You don't need to see me anymore. Let's end this here." After Felix hung up, Logan broke out in a cold sweat. He fell to his knees. "Mr. Zeller! I'm sorry for being so blind and offending you. Please spare me. I have parents and children to feed, I..." Felix waved him off. "I won't do anything to you. After all, you gave me a chance earlier. I'm taking him with me." As Harold followed Felix out, his face darkened. He could not believe that even the Xanthos family, the second richest family in Avesburgh, could be so afraid of Felix. How was this possible? "Harold, you can keep trying to annoy me like this, but remember this. Once I find your mom, the price you'll pay will only get steeper." After leaving those words behind, Felix set off. Harold punched the wall in fr

Hearing Vivian say the same thing, Felix thought he must have misheard. After all, Vivian was the deputy chief of the Earthern Hall in Dragon Alliance. How could she not get a ticket to this so-called Golden Prime Auction? "Felix, Golden Prime Auction tickets are never sold. They're distributed based on qualifications, and it's only held once a year. No one who gets a ticket ever resells it. Even among our Dragon Alliance chiefs, only a select few qualify as far as I know." Felix understood now. Though Vivian did not say it outright, it was clear that Kane, who had just become chief of Oasis Clinic, would not make the cut. "I see." On the other end, Vivian felt bad. Felix had only asked for one thing, yet she was powerless to help. The key was that Yale had taken the Dragon Ring now. If not, getting a ticket would have been a breeze. Without the Dragon Ring, only she and Kane would recognize Felix as the Dragon Lord. Others would not see him that way anymore. The Dragon Allia

"I've thought it through! If Abyssal Surge Sect were a decent sect, I wouldn't have had a dispute with you guys. If a patient found me, I wouldn't refuse to treat the patient, either. But for the things you've done, how are you any different from beasts? "You want me to respect you? Abyssal Surge Sect is nothing to me!"Hendrick never expected Felix to say such things. He immediately got up. "Alright, then. I'll let the sect know your attitude when I go back. I hope you can still be so stubborn when we meet next time."Abyssal Surge Sect trained Skybound Revenants and let them kill people once they were skilled. If Felix looked up to Abyssal Surge Sect, he could just die.He was currently under attack from all sides. If he weren't in this situation, he would have already annihilated Abyssal Surge Sect to remove the threat once and for all.…The wedding was carried out successfully. Felix drank quite a lot of alcohol as well. Soon, the wedding was coming to an end. After toastin

Felix's expression changed, but he still smiled and said, "It is a large sect. It's a good thing."Although he said that, he thought, "Fuck! They investigated this so quickly. Are they treating me as an enemy already?"To be honest, he felt as though he was taking the blame for someone else. From the beginning to the end, this matter had nothing to do with him."Why are you glaring at me?" Billy ran his finger through his buzz cut and opened the mirror. "Did I get more handsome?"Felix wanted to cry. Billy was the one who found the Skybound Revenant, so why did Abyssal Surge Sect shift the hatred to Felix?…Around 9:00 am, Felix brought Melissa to a hotel's banquet hall, where weddings in Canraville were held. George, Ryan, Madeline, Luke, Wendy, and the others had arrived. They were all people Felix knew."This is my sister, Melissa."Upon arriving there, Melissa acted quite shy. "Nice to meet everyone."Then, George and Ryan fought to give Melissa a seat."Melissa, sit her

Felix felt speechless. "I said, as long as you're willing to help, in addition to the agreed dojo, you'll also get a chance to dine with Dreamscape."After receiving confirmation, Billy patted his chest and said, "Humph! Don't insult me with these rewards. As a citizen, cooperating is my duty. Just leave it to me!""Damn it, Billy!" Felix thought, trying to suppress his irritation."Time to work my magic and track down that Skybound Revenant," Billy suddenly said. "Everyone, leave! Phoenix Warlord and Felix, you two stay."At Alistair's command, everyone quickly evacuated, leaving only the three of them in the open space.Felix waved his right hand, sending out a wave of energy to ensure there were no living people around and that the village was empty before signaling Billy to begin.He was being cautious, worried that a member of Abyssal Surge Sect might still be nearby. But he was probably overthinking it—after all, even the boldest person wouldn't risk staying here for too lo

"Come out and face me if you dare. Otherwise, stop barking like a dog!" Felix snapped.The voice vanished. Felix quickly asked, "Can you tell me what sect Candace exposed?"Alistair remained silent, unwilling to speak. Xena hesitated for a while before using voice transmission to say, "It's Abyssal Surge Sect. But you must keep this to yourself."She chose to confide in Felix because she had absolute trust in him.Felix thought, "Abyssal Surge Sect—the second of the top super sects. Those bastards really have some nerve."He then asked, "So, with no actual evidence, I take it Abyssal Surge Sect is untouched?"Xena sighed in frustration. "Yes. We can't act on Candace's testimony alone. Even if they were a minor sect, we'd still need evidence before taking any steps."Felix sneered. It made sense now why someone would risk reaching out to him via voice transmission, trying to pressure him into fabricating evidence. They knew there was no proof.Even if he told Xena about the

After hearing Alistair's explanation, an image suddenly flashed in Felix's mind."Hold on. I might know an expert in this field. The question is whether he'll agree to help."When Felix glanced at Xena, she immediately understood and, after a brief hesitation, nodded. With dozens already dead, they couldn't afford to delay any longer—who knew how many more lives might be lost?"Fine. Ask him. If he can genuinely help, there will definitely be a reward," Xena assured him.But before making the call, Felix had another question. "What about those elite experts you mentioned earlier? Haven't they been deployed?"Xena sighed. "They've been deployed to key cities. Each one can monitor multiple locations and immediately detect a Skybound Revenant if it appears. The problem is, these revenants might possess intelligence, allowing them to sense danger."They could deliberately target remote, impoverished areas or deep wilderness regions. But those are still living, breathing citizens of D

Snapping back to his senses, Felix quickly picked up his phone. He was relieved to find it undamaged. Alistair's voice was still on the line."Alistair, I'm here. Go on," Felix said."Mr. Zeller, since you're considered one of the involved parties and also a master healer, Lady Summers has granted you special permission to access the site."Involved party? Special permission? Felix suddenly realized something."Do you suspect it's Skybound Revenant? But that doesn't make sense. Didn't Candace confess? Didn't you handle it?"Alistair's response brought Felix a small measure of relief."When we arrived, there were no signs of Necrobound at the place. Either they got word and relocated beforehand, or the Elder Revenant evolved into a Skybound Revenant earlier than expected.""Understood. I'm heading over now."Whether or not Zara was involved, Felix knew he had to act. If this escalated into a city outbreak, the death toll would be unimaginable.Driving to the village Alistair me

"Three years ago, I finally woke up and quit gambling," Darren said, his tone sincere. "The buyer I mentioned, the one offering a billion dollars, was real. But I didn't dare sell it. I was afraid I'd fall back into gambling if I had that kind of money. "And honestly, I feel like I'd be letting my father down."Felix understood now. That buyer must have been tipped off by Derek, who ensured no one would use force against Darren or spread the word. Otherwise, an ordinary man like Darren would've been in serious trouble long ago.It was clear Isabella was hearing this story for the first time as well."Belle," Darren continued, "this is why I'm willing to entrust this million dollars entirely to you. All I need is a monthly allowance for living expenses. No matter how persuasive I might sound, if my gambling addiction resurfaces, at least you'll be there to keep me in check."Isabella was genuinely moved. After all, there weren't many men like him who would hand over such a fortune

"Felix…" Melissa appeared, her face full of reluctance."Go on. Be good," Felix said.Seeing Billy's smug expression, Melissa huffed and went to make him a cup of coffee. When she returned and handed it to him, Billy brought the cup to his lips, only to pause mid-sip. His lips twitched in disbelief."Girl, does your clinic have an unlimited supply of coffee grounds or something?" he asked, staring at the cup packed so full that it was practically sludge.No sane person would brew coffee like this."Oh, well," Billy said with a shrug, "at least it's made by a pretty lady—still smells nice from her touch."Taking a small sip, Billy finally got to the point. "The highlight of the auction is a very peculiar bone."Felix's eyes flickered for a moment before he smirked. "Are you trying to say that I'm a dog? A bone is supposed to interest me? What a waste of my coffee."Billy chuckled, lowering his voice. "Oh, really? I don't buy it. Someone practicing the Dragons Destroyer technique

Queenie's examination showed she wasn't a martial artist—just an ordinary person. With that confirmed, any lingering doubts were dispelled. After Hexbloom bloomed, it attracted not only ordinary people but also some martial artists, compelling them to touch it subconsciously. It was all so natural that it didn't warrant much suspicion.…The next morning at the clinic, Melissa's mood had visibly brightened, and she was dressed to impress. As long as her attire wasn't overly provocative, Felix had no issue with her choice of clothing."Boss, I had this faint chest pain last night. Shouldn't you take a closer look?" Melissa teased.Without even looking up, Felix replied, "You're fine. Besides, you didn't seem like the kind of woman who would flirt the first time we met."Melissa pouted. "Well, what can I say? You're so amazing. If something goes wrong, I've got no one to rely on. Honestly, I've been thinking of finding myself a solid backing."Felix handed her his mug. "Pour me s
