Felix froze, then gave a wry smile. "Is it fun joking with someone who just recovered from a near-death experience?" But Xena's expression remained serious. "Do I look like I'm joking?" When Felix collapsed bleeding last night, Xena felt her heart shatter. Only then did she realize her true feelings for him. Those were feelings she had been denying all along. "Yes, I am materialistic, but not mindlessly so! Reality has shown us countless examples of why matching social status matters! I have the looks, figure, and status of the goddess of war. Is it wrong of me to want a better partner?" Felix suddenly realized he had no counterargument. He remembered a news story about a man who worked to put his girlfriend through school. After she earned her doctorate, they married, but the marriage lasted barely two years. According to her, they had lost their common ground. Their vast status difference had created an unbridgeable gap in their worldviews. The internet had split opinions

"This is Felix Zeller, who saved all your lives," the orphanage director said.At these words, a dozen children clumsily kneeled. Their voices were full of gratitude as they said, "Thank you, Mr. Zeller!" "You're amazing! The pain is all gone now!" "Hehe! I want to be just like Mr. Zeller when I grow up. I will become a doctor and save lots and lots of people!" "Me too! I don't want to be an astronaut anymore—I want to be a doctor!" With tears blurring his vision, Felix rushed to embrace the children. At this moment, he knew everything had been worth it. …An hour later, at the Wolfie troops' headquarters, Alistair was reporting to Xena, "Lady Summers, Sonny's unusual behavior suggests hidden motives." Xena nodded. According to headquarters' files, Sonny, who was ranked 12th among the Thirteen Aces, typically deployed his Bloom Seeds in remote villages. The limited knowledge and isolation would allow him to vanish before headquarters noticed. This was his first attack o

Surprised by Gerald's question, Felix laughed. "What's there to regret now? At that moment, there wasn't time to think about anything else. My mind was focused on one thing only." Gerald chuckled. "Now that's my disciple! We have our principles. We act when needed, but we don't spend all day playing savior. "Remember what I told you about the Dragons Destroyer technique?" Felix had memorized every word from Gerald as his mentor. "You said Dragons Destroyer is Dragonia's oldest and most unique martial art technique. Legend says only one person ever mastered it, and I would be next. Its uniqueness is beyond description." Gerald responded casually, "Good, you remember. Now, forge your own path. No matter what happens to you, you'll always be my disciple. Nothing and no one can change that." Feeling touched, Felix recalled something. "Oh, Mr. Hoffman. I didn't want to trouble you, but someone from the Elders' Council showed up. In my current state, I'm worried about whether I can

"Interesting. Let's see what happens when I refine this Dragonspine!" Felix muttered.Outside, Vivian maintained her guard silently after Felix jumped and disappeared below. Four hours passed before Felix jumped back up. "Change of plans. We're staying," he instructed.Vivian did not dare question it. Besides, she wanted to spend more time with Felix anyway. After leaving Yardley Dining, Felix called Larry. "Mr. Laird, I apologize, but plans have changed. I'll need your backyard for a month." Without his internal energy, Felix could only refine the Dragonspine for four hours before exhaustion set in. At that rate, it would take about a month. "Mr. Zeller, please, you're too polite! I've moved the graves, and no one uses the backyard. Take a year if you need it." After witnessing Felix's status, Larry was not foolish enough to miss this opportunity to build connections with someone so influential. "Thanks. I appreciate it." Just after hanging up, Luis called again. "Mr. Ze

Xena maintained her composure. "It's not him. How could it be? You think someone in Felix's condition would be worthy of me?" She stood to leave. "I'm sorry, but I've worked too hard to get where I am. When the Warlord of the East gives advice, I have to take it." Xena could not admit Felix was the reason. The first time she met Jaden, he had tried to kill Felix. Before, there might have been obstacles, but now Felix was just an ordinary person without martial arts skills. For Jaden, killing him would be like crushing an ant. She could not assign 24/7 protection to him, could she? Besides, Jaden had nearly achieved the level of Martial Emperor. He could literally kill Felix with a flick of his finger. How could she guard against that? Left alone in the private room, Jaden's expression darkened as he clenched his fists. He felt that he was being toyed with, though Xena had never actually promised him anything. "This must have something to do with Felix. I won't let you live

What a joke. How dare a mere leader of a bunch of car thieves disrespect one of the underworld's major players? Viper forced a nervous smile. "Mr. Luis, I… I wouldn't dare normally. But these are my boss' rules. I'll be in trouble if I don't follow them." Boss? Luis had never heard of Viper having a boss. "Who's your boss? Tell them to come here and repeat that!" Almost immediately, footsteps approached. A young man appeared while casually smoking a cigar. "Sure thing, Mr. Luis. I'm Viper's boss. Any problems with my policies?" Luis' eyes narrowed in surprise. "Pierce Langden?" Felix noticed Luis' wariness and asked, "Do you know him?" Luis nodded, whispering, "Pierce is the illegitimate son of Andrei Hawkins, the richest man in Canraville." The richest man in Canraville? Felix understood now what was happening. "Stand down," Felix instructed.Luis wanted to protest but stayed quiet. Truth was, he could not afford to offend Andrei. Even with his brother's help, they we

"Felix, I'm meeting Nessa's parents soon. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be handing out wedding invitations," Jack revealed.At the bar, Jack was grinning ear to ear. He was not getting any younger. To him, success in life meant both career and family. With his career already set, marriage was the logical next step. "Am I right, Nessa?" Vanessa smiled and replied, "Don't worry. I get to choose whoever I want to marry. My parents can't tell me what to do." Though there would certainly be some resistance, she was being truthful. Besides, everything would surely work out once Felix had given her that book of martial arts techniques. "I'm going to use the bathroom," Felix said. Beer always had a way of sending people to the bathroom. After finishing up and washing his hands, Felix was rounding the corner when someone blocked his path. Felix stepped aside, but the guy matched his movements and kept blocking him. From his swaying body and the heavy stench of alcohol, it was cl

Jack was still uneasy after hanging up. Then Vanessa asked with a grave look, "Are you sure you heard right? Did they say Crimson Sage Sect?" "Yeah! What's wrong? Do you know about them?" Vanessa's eyes showed a mix of emotions. "Crimson Sage Sect is an extremely powerful organization. Felix is in serious trouble this time." What? Jack did not know much about these matters, but his girlfriend was a martial artist, so he had to trust her judgment. "Damn it, let's go! We can't just sit here doing nothing!" The only thing he could do now was contact everyone he knew or tried to find out if Felix had any powerful connections they could reach out to. "Wait, Felix's phone is still on the table. I'll grab it," Vanessa said.When Vanessa came back, Felix's phone suddenly rang. Looking at the screen, she remarked puzzlingly, "Xena? Isn't that Dragonia's goddess of war? How does Felix know someone like that? No, it must be someone else with the same name." Jack did not care about th

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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?"

Magnus was the Supreme Elder of Medic's Haven and had met with Felix not long ago. He was a man of integrity who had devoted himself to advancing traditional medicine. Yet, he was now dead and couldn't even rest in peace. After all, his body had been torn to pieces and hung up as a warning to others. "Screw this! I'll kill that bastard!" Finally, Felix could not contain himself anymore. He was here to kill the Malevolent Phantom anyway. The process didn't matter as long as he could get the job done. Claro and Roger were terrified. They seemed to have anticipated this reaction and rushed to persuade him, "Dr. Zeller, please stay calm!" "You absolutely cannot act rashly. Though we also want to avenge Mr. Grimwald, that Malevolent Phantom holds the lives of thousands of people in Medic's Haven." Felix slowly sat back down, remembering what Xena had told him. If he couldn't figure this out, he could not afford to move. He couldn't bear the responsibility for thousands of deaths

Felix looked at the middle-aged man who had just appeared. The man's gaze was icy cold, and he definitely didn't look like he was joking. Felix asked, "Is that so? Where should I strip?" While pointing with his right hand, the middle-aged man spoke firmly. "Right here." Felix couldn't help but snicker. "What an unreasonable demand." He had never heard that visitors of Medic's Haven were required to strip for a body examination. Not just Medic's Haven—there couldn't be such an unreasonable requirement anywhere else in the world. "Fine then. I wish Medic's Haven continued success." With that, Felix turned to leave but was suddenly called back. "Wait, young man. Don't go yet." Felix turned around to see another middle-aged man who had just emerged. As the man was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened. "Are you Dr. Zeller?" Felix wondered if that man had recognized him. This wasn't surprising, considering the commotion Felix had caused at Medic's Haven back then. After
