George keenly noticed the change in Felix's expression. He patted Felix's shoulder sympathetically and said, "Tough luck, Felix. Take my advice—you can't outbid Lady Nala." Felix furrowed his brow and asked, "Is it always about money at the Golden Prime Auction?"If it came down to cash, Nala might have the upper hand; someone with her status in Yartford would surely not be short on funds. Unless Gerald's assets were unfrozen for him, Felix was unsure if Leslie's Concord Bank's Supreme Black Card would suffice. George explained, "Not always. Most items go for cash, but some have weird requirements. You never know until the moment arrives." With concern evident in his voice, he added, "Felix, you're not seriously thinking of competing with Lady Nala, are you?" Felix could not help but chuckle. "What's wrong? Worried that I'll drag you into this?"To his surprise, George shook his head. "That's not it. It's all fair game in auctions. Besides, Lady Nala isn't petty enough to hold
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 268
George had murmured under his breath, which piqued Felix's interest. Indeed, for the first time, no one in the entire hall placed a counterbid, proving that George had not been exaggerating."30 million dollars," the electronically-altered voice from earlier announced. It was done to protect the identity of those in the private boxes. Knowing the drill, the auctioneer did not wait for another bid and immediately brought the hammer down. He declared, "Sold for 30 million dollars! Congratulations!" Even though Nala could have easily won with a casual bid of a few hundred thousand, she chose to pay a respectable amount. It spoke volumes about her wealth and integrity."Still think you have a shot at Item 18?" George persisted, trying to dissuade Felix from challenging Nala as he was unaware of just how crucial Moon's Tear was to him."We'll see. I think I know what Lady Nala is up to," Felix replied.George could not help but be curious and asked, "Oh? Care to share?"Felix expl

Felix's bold move caught the attention of everyone in the room. The crowd whispered among themselves, wondering who this newcomer was. They could not believe that he actually dared to challenge Nala as he would surely not stand a chance.Even the auctioneer, who had hosted the Golden Prime Auction for years, was taken aback by this unprecedented turn of events. It was his first time seeing someone competing against Nala.Yvonne reported, "Miss, Felix raised his hand."She was stunned by his action and could not understand what Felix was trying to achieve. It would have been understandable if he had been at the event alone. However, he was with George, who would have undoubtedly warned him beforehand.Nala's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she watched the scene unfold below. "Let's see what kind of connection he can pull out," she mused. There were only a few true master healers in Dragonia, and the top three were so highly regarded that even many so-called important figures would

The moment the auctioneer confirmed the Miracle Card's authenticity, the room erupted. The once-quiet auction hall was buzzing with discussion. After all, the power and value of a Miracle Card were impossible to ignore."F-Felix actually traded a Miracle Card for Moon's Tear?" Yvonne stuttered, dumbfounded by Felix's decision. As Nala said before, Yvonne also thought it was simply short-sighted of Felix to do so. With the right strategy, a Miracle Card could yield an unimaginable return. For instance, the Kinsley family from Avesburgh had been wise. They made a spectacle of auctioning off a Miracle Card, which caught the attention of Moonshadow Alliance. Consequently, they had gone from being a small local name to a recognized force in Yartford, gaining a foothold in record time. Hence, Yvonne regarded Felix's move as a waste.Nala's disappointment was palpable. "If you don't have anything worth keeping in Avesburgh, don't bother going back," she told Yvonne coldly.Yvonne cou

When Felix landed in Avesburgh at midnight, his phone buzzed with missed calls and messages as he turned it on. Among the callers were people from Tabiner Bay, Ernest, and even Xena.Felix was puzzled, wondering why so many people tried to reach him even at this late hour. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to call Ernest back. The man had tried several times, so it had to be something urgent. "Mr. Holt Senior, I just landed. Is everything okay?""You need to come back quickly. Your villa caught fire. It's just been put out, but there's nothing much left."Felix's mind immediately flashed to Harold, and he made a silent decision as he rushed to Tabiner Bay. When he arrived, Xena was waiting at the entrance, and the villa was nothing more than a charred shell behind her. "Do you need the Phoenix Legion to help with the investigation?" Xena asked, her expression neutral.She knew a regular fire would unlikely harm a skilled martial artist like Felix unless he had
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 272
Xena scoffed at the idea that Felix had stayed all day. She thought it was a pathetic attempt to impress her, doubting that his presence could actually wake Curtis. Nonetheless, she did not dwell on the matter and stepped out into the courtyard, her gaze fixed in the distance as if waiting for someone. About half an hour later, a car pulled up, and Jaden stepped out. "Xena, I've brought Dr. Quinn," he announced proudly. Xena had rushed back to Avesburgh because Jaden had managed to secure Brandon's services. Despite being only one rank above Seth, Brandon's medical skills were vastly superior. Among master healers, the top three were the true legends. Even Xena herself did not have the influence to summon him, so Jaden's success was impressive. She believed if anyone could heal Curtis, it would be Brandon. As Jaden finished speaking, he opened the car door, and a man in his 50s stepped out—it was none other than Brandon himself. Unlike the usual elderly doctors with graying h

"Dr. Quinn, how did it go?" Jaden asked on Xena's behalf as he sensed her tension.Brandon's scowl deepened, and he scoffed. "Did you really call me all the way here for this? He's fine. He'll be up and about in a few days." The renowned doctor was clearly annoyed at being summoned for what he considered a trivial matter. After all, Curtis only had some blocked circulation—nothing that required a master healer. Any decent hospital or regular traditional medical practitioner could have handled it. "He's... cured?" Xena stood frozen in disbelief while Jaden rushed to see Brandon off.When Jaden returned, he saw Xena still standing at the same spot. He urged, "You should go check on Mr. Summers Senior!"They went inside the room together. Although neither were doctors, they were impressive martial artists and could roughly assess someone's physical condition. Since Xena visited Curtis daily, she immediately noticed the dramatic difference. His complexion was rosy, and his breathi

"Is that so? Well, I wish you safe travels," Felix responded.Yvonne tried to hide her disappointment behind a smile. She asked, "I wasn't going to mention this, but… why didn't you maximize the benefit of having a Miracle Card?" She had spent enough time around Felix to know he was not foolish, and her curiosity about his choices was natural.Felix chuckled. "You were also at the Golden Prime Auction? I did maximize my benefit. Moon's Tear was exactly what I needed most." Realizing further discussion was pointless, Yvonne turned to leave. "Good luck with everything. Bye, Felix." As she turned to leave, Felix suddenly stood up. He wanted to say something, but the words would not come out. For some reason, Yvonne was walking really slowly too.Just as she reached the threshold, Felix asked, "Can you stay?" Yvonne froze on the spot, tears streaming down her face. She did not dare turn back, fearing she would give in and stay for good. While she did not care what would h

Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 978
At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here

The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 976
It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,

"You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn't get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that's for you youngins to decide. We won't care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real. "I've lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let's allow Felix to try." The smile on Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore. Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

"Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor
