Curtis stood up and stretched before saying, "I've only recently recovered, and some of my friends keep inviting me out, so I'm heading out. Xena personally made lunch today, so stay and eat, Felix.""Alright," Felix agreed.The moment Curtis left, Xena shot an annoyed glare at Felix."Don't think that just because my grandfather said we're in a relationship, you can ask me to do anything," she spat out.Felix spread his hands nonchalantly. "Relax. I'm not interested in you. I just need to get through this month.""You!"Xena's body trembled with anger. She was the dream girl of countless men, and yet here Felix was, saying he had no interest. It felt like an insult."Are you eating or not? If not, you can leave," Xena said.With a wave of his hand, Felix turned to leave. He wasn't about to waste his energy interacting with Xena. Since they both disliked each other, he figured that for the next month, he would just put up with it for Curtis' sake.Although the engagement wasn'

"I'm going to die?" the young man asked, stunned. He knew how healthy his body was. How could he be about to die?"You don't believe me? Let me show you some proof," Felix said calmly.With that, he extended his other hand toward one side of the alley, releasing a powerful suction force from his palm. This was an advanced use of Primordial Energy, something only those at the Martial Emperor level could control with such ease.The next moment, as the young man watched in disbelief, a figure was pulled through the air toward them. Judging by the expression on the man's face, it was clear he hadn't expected to be pulled out from his hiding spot."You weren't just recording for fun, right?" Felix asked.The middle-aged man who hurtled toward them was shocked, but his eyes kept darting back and forth as if calculating his next move."W-what do you want? What did you do to me? Let me go!" the man shouted.Felix gave a cold chuckle and released him. Initially, he thought the man had si

"What happened?" Xena asked.After thinking it over, Felix had decided to call Xena to handle the situation. He couldn't be bothered, and he didn't bother to treat Lennox either."Your cousin showed up out of nowhere and attacked me. I had no choice but to knock him out," Felix explained.Xena clearly didn't believe him and said, "Impossible! He's the only son of my third uncle. Just like my uncle, he is honest and straightforward. He would never attack someone without reason."Damn it! Felix was displeased that Xena didn't believe him."Oh really? Honest and straightforward, is he? I don't know about that, but he seems to be a martial arts fanatic. Am I wrong?" Felix retorted.Xena went silent. Indeed, Lennox had dreamed of practicing martial arts ever since he was young, but her uncle never allowed it. Otherwise, she would have asked him to join Phoenix Legion long ago."What about him?" Xena asked."From the moment Lennox arrived, he had been hiding behind the alley and taki

Xena stood frozen in place. Xander's words repeated in her mind. It was exactly the same as what Felix had warned her earlier."What's wrong?" Xander asked.It wasn't until Xander spoke again that she snapped back to reality, realizing now wasn't the time to dwell on those thoughts."So… Can you cure my cousin?" Xena asked hesitantly.Xander nodded. "Yes! The poison in his body is strong. It will only be triggered by physical impact. But once it is identified, treating it is quite straightforward."Suddenly, a thought struck Xena. "Wait a second. You said his body can't handle any impact, but he was knocked unconscious by someone!"A strange look crossed Xander's face. He sighed helplessly. "You're a skilled martial artist yourself. Do you really think it always takes force to knock out an ordinary person? Just a touch to the right pressure point would have been enough."Xena fell silent as she watched Xander begin the treatment, but her mind drifted back to Felix. Why had he sa

Brandon answered right away, "How could that be possible? Xander, are you out of your mind? It was Phantom Poison, and you say they've been bedridden for how long? You're overestimating me. I bet only two people in the world could cure it. "If you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame me for blacklisting you."The sound of the call ending left Xena utterly stunned."Now, do you believe me?" Xander asked.Xander's expression was grave. The situation was too strange. Curtis had been cured, but they had no clue who did it. His curiosity was piqued to the extreme. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that call in the first place.After a long moment, Xena anxiously asked, "Then who could it be? I didn't call any famous doctor. I know my own abilities. I couldn't even afford to hire Dr. Quinn, let alone a miracle doctor."Xander cautiously said, "Think carefully. As the goddess of war, you must have arranged for someone to secretly guard the villa and protect your grandfather. It wo

When Felix arrived at the restaurant, he pushed open the private room door, but Xena wasn't there. Instead, there was only Xander, who stood up, looking shocked."You… it's you!" Xander exclaimed.With a casual smile, Felix raised his hand and was about to leave. "Sorry. Wrong room."However, Xander hastily called after him. "No! You're not in the wrong room. This is the one Xena booked."Felix hesitated for a moment, but then he walked back inside. He asked, "What's going on? Did Xena invite you too?"Xander's emotions were a tangled mess. He never would have imagined that the mysterious doctor who cured Curtis turned out to be the young man he had once met at the gathering. Fate really had a strange way of playing tricks."I asked Xena to bring you here because I suspected that someone other than Dr. Quinn cured Curtis. Now, my biggest doubt has been cleared."After hearing Xander's explanation, Felix couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected such a misunderstanding. It must

For instance, the God of Death was an excellent assassin skilled at hiding. Even if the Phoenix Legion managed to find him, keeping him captured would be a whole other challenge."Though my superior and yours don't exactly get along, we're still friends. Since we're in Avesburgh, I had to notify you. If we really take down the God of Death, naturally, you'll get a share of the credit," Timothy said.Xena was genuinely touched. Any one of the Thirteen Aces on the Super S-rank wanted list didn't need to be put on trial. If found, they could be killed right away. That kind of honor was unparalleled.It could be said that whoever earned such a credit would have no trouble getting promoted."Bring a few capable fighters with you; the others shouldn't join. They're just cannon fodder for the God of Death. Your job is only to locate him. When the time comes, I'll make my move with a few Asuras."Xena nodded and headed out. She was the strongest in the Phoenix Legion, yet even she wasn't
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 311
The God of Death was in no state to listen to Felix's chatter and immediately fled. Now that he was terribly injured, finding the master healer would be his only chance at survival. Felix decided not to go after him. There was no point since the Inferno Clan would not dare cross him again. Besides, it would practically be impossible for the God of Death to escape with so many martial arts masters rushing over here. This actually worked in Felix's favor. At least he could wash his hands of the whole affair and avoid all the troubles that would follow. In the nearest alley, Xena arrived at the scene. Though the thunder had died down, she could sense where it came from with her skills. While she could not confirm it was the God of Death, the sudden thunderclap was definitely suspicious. A figure suddenly darted into the opposite end of the alley. Their eyes met for a split second before the figure charged straight at her. Xena's expression fell as she recognized the old man as the

Felix felt like crying. After everything he had been through, his feelings for Gerald were beyond words. "Mr. Hoffman, I took another mentor in Martial City. Her name is Deborah Goddard, and she taught me pill cultivation. You won't mind, will you?" Gerald laughed and said, "Why would I? Pill cultivation will be extremely useful to you. If you hadn't taken up on her offer, I'd be the one punishing you." Then, Felix thought of something. "Mr. Hoffman, do you have any photos from when you were young?" "Why?""I want to see how handsome you were back then.""Hah! I'm enjoying the flattery. I was quite the charmer in my youth. My smile would make any girl swoon. But no, I don't have any photos, so don't bother asking." Felix had hoped to confirm if Gerald was the Ancient Sage Cordelia had mentioned, but that seemed unlikely now. Finally, he went on to the main topic. "I met Eloise."Gerald had been humming cheerfully on the other end, but the tune stopped at Felix's words."I

Felix knew about this. All of his nine fellow apprentices indeed practiced different techniques, and Gerald had said those exact words. "Five years ago, I discovered a technique perfectly suited for me by chance, far more powerful than what I practiced then. Eventually, I couldn't resist trying it. I thought I could seek Mr. Hoffman's help if anything went wrong, but nothing happened."Felix felt utterly helpless. "So, you took such extreme measures over this?" Perhaps Gerald had his reasons for lying about other martial arts techniques, but surely this reaction was excessive. "Felix, do you think I'm that petty? If it were just that, of course not. My progress with that technique was remarkable."Over two years ago, I reached its highest level. That's when I discovered a seal on my body." Felix froze. He recalled Kevin's words during their battle in Martial City about what would happen if his nine fellow apprentices broke their seals. Could it be true?"I confronted Mr. Hof

On the television sat a woman, her face devoid of expression. Anyone who saw her would be struck first by her royal bearing. Words like beautiful or gorgeous fell short. She commanded a presence like a queen, which would make anyone feel inadequate in comparison.But Felix did not feel that way. His jaw dropped, eyes filled with utter disbelief. The woman on the screen was none other than his fellow apprentice, Eloise. Felix knew no one could impersonate Eloise. Few had ever met her, let alone possessed the ability to mimic her demeanor. "Eloise?" His question betrayed his inner turmoil. "Felix." When the woman on screen responded, Felix lost all composure. He wished desperately that this was just a dream rather than reality. Eloise was the Grand Cardinal of the Westerio Order? Did that mean she had founded the organization? But why? No wonder they knew everything about him—it all made sense now."Leave us," she commanded.The Scarlet Cardinal bowed and left the room,

Since the prison had no ties to Guneria, Felix did not mind causing a scene there. Luna added, "I've managed to bribe someone inside the prison who can provide intelligence at any time."Felix felt moved. "Thank you for doing all this, Luna." He remembered seeing her text messages when checking his phone earlier, asking him to reach out upon his return. It seemed this was the reason why. "I'd do anything for you."Though the timing felt wrong, Felix spoke up, "I'm married now. Her name is Nerissa."To his surprise, Luna smiled. "Thank you for telling me. I never dreamed we could be together. What we have is already precious enough. It left the deepest mark on my life." Felix sighed to himself. Matters of the heart were the most troublesome, yet sometimes circumstances left no choice."When the time comes to rescue Elliott, I'll let you know," Felix told her as the plane began its landing approach. He needed to find Melissa and Ronan first. "Okay. Please be careful," Luna
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1111
After three years, Felix sat on a plane again, though his mind wandered elsewhere. As long as Melissa and Ronan were alive, there would be no issue. With him personally stepping in, their rescue was almost certain.His thoughts lingered more on Malevolent Phantoms. Until now, they had not encountered any A-tier Phantoms, so their true strength remained unknown. Felix was not arrogant enough to believe he was invincible.With so many martial artists around, no one could guarantee control over all of them. If they began a wholesale slaughter of the Phantoms, all their plans would crumble. They would not even risk telling Felix."Felix?"A sudden voice startled Felix. He never expected to meet Luna on a plane after all these years. "Luna? What a coincidence!"Luna burst into tears. Despite her usual composure, three years of separation had taken their toll. She threw herself into Felix's arms. "You're back! You're finally back safely." Felix patted her back awkwardly, aware of the

Felix couldn't kill them? Felix almost thought Xena was joking. He now had almost perfected the Ethereal Constitution. Besides, he had Lumen and the Infinite Shield.He came back to show his skills. Yet now, they were telling him not to kill?"Although Dragonia doesn't have that much soul mastery, there are some for now. Additionally, after three years, several of our martial artists and top experts have the ability to kill the Malevolent Phantoms."At least there wouldn't be a problem dealing with the C-tier and B-tier Malevolent Phantoms. As for Billy, you're familiar with him. He can definitely kill the A-tier Malevolent Phantoms. But again, killing isn't allowed."Felix looked at her seriously. "Then, you'd better convince me."Xena was prepared for this answer. "The order is issued by the headquarters. The Malevolent Phantoms had been sent to gather intelligence. If you kill them—however you kill them—information about their death would be sent somewhere."As for where it'

Felix was silent after hearing the news. After a long pause, he asked, "Are they dead?"Xena knew that despite seeming calm, Felix was like a ticking time bomb—one that was about to blow."No, no! Not long after you left, they were captured by the Westerio Order."The Westerio Order! Felix clenched his fists. He didn't expect that the loose ends he left behind would hurt Melissa. However, it was too urgent of a mission, and he wasn't strong then. Of course, he didn't want to go after the Westerio Order, but he truly didn't expect they would act upon his absence."I'm sorry," Xena said.Felix waved his hand dismissively. "It has nothing to do with you. Melissa and Ronan must've been traveling around the world at the time. They weren't under your protection then."He thought Ronan was strong enough to deal with sneak attacks. Besides, the Westerio Order wouldn't have sent a particularly strong person for the first time. After the first attack, Melissa and Ronan would've definit

Felix felt like Cordelia was just going to say more and more outrageous things, so he hurried away. All of a sudden, he noticed Xena in an armored vehicle."Long time no see."Three years felt like it was yesterday. However, the difference was Felix wasn't conflicted anymore. Meanwhile, Xena's eyes were full of complex emotions. "I heard you got married in Martial City." She had seen and heard the news but didn't want to ask. Yet, she still brought it up now."Yes, I'm married now," Felix replied.There was a pause after his reply before she asked again, "Did you get married to complete the mission, or—"Felix didn't avoid her gaze and said seriously, "I really wanted to get married. Nerissa is truly a good woman, and she's worthy of my time."With that answer, Xena turned away, looking around outside before composing herself. As for what she was thinking, even she wasn't clear on what she wanted. "The Malevolent Phantom I met in Martial City… I didn't notice it before. Is
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1107
Xena immediately shook her head. "I dare not say that I know him best, but he is a man who values loyalty and righteousness. If we hide it from him and he finds out through other people, I don't think we can bear the consequences later."A thick silence fell. After a few minutes, Lionel spoke up, "Just… Just do as is. Why don't you tell Felix about those two people?"An hour later, the great mountain in front of them disappeared. Instead, an endless field replaced it. The Warlords were unfazed, but the soldiers from headquarters were stunned.After all, this was like a scene out of a movie. It was incredible. When they got out of their shock, they realized a lot of people stood in the field—so many that they couldn't count.The leader was naturally Felix."Hello, everyone. Long time no see." Felix's face was full of emotion as he saw those familiar faces again. After three years, he had finally come home. No matter how much he felt like he belonged in Martial City, there was n
