Felix fell silent before standing up. "If that's your decision, then I have nothing more to say."To his surprise, Lionel chuckled. "I was just joking. How could I possibly risk my life for that bone? Go ahead with the treatment."It was all a test to see if Felix truly understood the nature of the bone. Felix hadn't given away anything, so the Warlord felt reassured.Felix felt a little helpless. Dealing with these experienced veterans was truly nerve-wracking. Even a minor reaction could have complicated things. Gerald had been right. Only those who practiced the Dragons Destroyer technique could safely refine an ancient dragon's spine. Anyone else, like Lionel with his unorthodox approach, was bound to face problems sooner or later.Outside, Nala sat on a small bench in the courtyard, lost in thought.To be honest, she had always had men wrapped around her finger, but Felix was different. Not only did he seem unaffected by her charm, but he had also, strangely, become an enig

As days passed, Nala never left. She would only enter the wooden house after Felix had finished his treatments. Over time, Felix also discovered the presence of an elderly person living somewhere nearby. This person only appeared during mealtimes, bringing them food. Felix figured he was likely there to protect Lionel.On the fourth day, after finishing his treatment, Felix stepped outside and saw someone approaching."Zara?" he called out.Felix was surprised. He hadn't expected to see Zara here at such a time and place. Her face, as always, could only be described as unattractive."Felix!" Clearly, Zara was equally stunned to run into him here. But the next moment, she quickly looked away. "My… my mentor told me not to speak to you."If it hadn't been for this reminder, Felix would've forgotten about the conversation with Silas and the promise he had made.At that moment, Nala appeared, and Zara hurriedly spoke up. "Lady Nala, this is a new medicine my mentor developed. It ca

On the seventh day, after Felix withdrew the silver needles from Lionel's body, he wiped the sweat from his forehead."Kindly check your body. Your issue's all resolved," Felix said.In truth, the silver needles were just a diversion. Without the Dragons Destroyer technique, he would have been powerless against the ancient dragon's spine fragment within Lionel's body.After getting off the bed and stretching his limbs, Lionel's eyes gradually grew brighter. He struck out with a palm, and the door to the wooden house shattered into pieces."Not bad. I can feel my old vigor returning! Finally, I don't have to lie in bed like a sickly person waiting for death!" Lionel exclaimed.As his voice echoed, the elderly man who had been bringing them meals appeared at the door, his face also showing a smile."Congratulations on your rebirth, My Lord."Nearby, Nala also smiled. Her grandfather's recovery made her genuinely happy. Felix was now a secondary matter."Felix, how would you like

In a karaoke center in Canraville, Felix sat alone in the private room, surprised that Jack hadn't arrived yet. He thought to himself, "What a flaky guy."He took a moment to assess himself, and a smile spread across his face. His strength had once again increased since he had two pieces of Dragonspine in his body. Honestly, Felix felt like he was dreaming. Because of this, his fascination with the Dragonspine deepened, but he also had one lingering concern in his mind.After thinking it through, and since Jack and Vanessa hadn't shown up yet, Felix got up and walked to the lounge area in the center's main hall. He then dialed the strange number from before.Perhaps because of Lionel, Gerald answered his call after a few rings. "Did you succeed?""Yes, Mr. Hoffman. You might not believe it, but I found out the true cause of Lionel's condition."Gerald scolded him immediately, "Drop the suspense, you little brat. Tell me right now!"Felix couldn't help but chuckle. So Gerald was

Inside the envelope was a single sheet of paper with one huge word written on it, "Death"."Don't worry. It's probably just someone pulling a prank. I'll go check it out," Felix said.Knowing Felix's abilities, Jack didn't try to stop him. "Alright, but come back quickly. Let me know if it's something serious so I can tell Nessa."Felix headed to Room V03. Pushing the door open, he saw a young man sitting alone on the couch. The table was lined with unopened bottles of alcohol, and the TV was paused. It was clear he wasn't here to have fun."I don't believe we've met before," Felix said as he casually took a seat.To Felix's surprise, the young man rose to his feet and approached him. Then, he suddenly dropped to his knees in front of him. "Please! I beg you to save my grandfather!"Felix blinked in confusion. This wasn't what he expected at all. He had thought it might be an enemy coming to pick a fight. "Please stand up first. Who is your grandfather?" Felix asked.The young

Felix smiled and replied, "She's alright."Vanessa beamed at that. "I told Jack there'd be no problem! I'm the best person for finding you a girlfriend. Nancy is my best friend from college. She's now a university lecturer at Shunnington University in Canraville. "She's beautiful, has a great figure, a good personality, and lots of guys are chasing her. You have to seize this opportunity!"Felix scratched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Vanessa, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I'm not really considering anything like that for now."Vanessa glared at Felix, clearly unwilling to give up."Hey! At least spare me the embarrassment, alright? Even when her family sets her up on blind dates, she refuses to meet them. However, she came as soon as I called. If you act like this, what am I supposed to do? Plus, she's a woman—it's not easy for her to do this either."That left Felix speechless. He hadn't thought that far ahead."You know what? I'll get her number later, and w

Felix had no idea how to get to Shunnington University, which was why he hadn't realized anything. However, the driver soon withdrew a hand from the steering wheel. Reaching toward his abdomen, he pulled out a handgun, pointing it directly at Felix."Don't even think about moving an inch. I've killed more than just one person."In the back seat, Nancy was terrified, even though she couldn't see the gun. With the car speeding along, jumping out wasn't an option."So, you're a killer. I'm guessing this cab isn't yours either?" Felix remarked calmly.The driver smirked. "You're pretty sharp. The real driver is in the trunk. He's dead as a doornail. I was planning to grab some random passenger, but then you flagged me down."As he spoke, the driver glanced at Nancy in the rearview mirror, licking his lips. "Damn, this chick is a knockout. Way better than the ones I've paid for. I'm going to take my time with her."Felix's expression turned odd. Of all the people to run into, he had

Xena continued, "You can deny it if you want, but the truth speaks for itself. An S-rank fugitive is at least near the level of a Martial King. Even most martial artists wouldn't stand a chance. Yet you took him down effortlessly. Do I need to keep going?"The S-rank fugitive wasn't weak. You're just too strong."She wasn't wrong. Felix hadn't given it much thought as everything had happened too quickly."My strength has indeed recovered," he admitted.Hearing that, Xena broke into a bright smile. It was a genuine smile that came straight from the heart."All that effort finally paid off. Back then, you gave everything to save those kids. It seems heaven has finally smiled on you."Standing up, Xena prepared to leave. "Now that your strength is back, your medical skills must be as well. I have nothing to worry about anymore."Felix hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward and grabbed her hand. "Xena, let's be together!"Xena looked into his eyes, then slowly pulled her hand

The bodies and limbs of the mall staff were trembling violently on the floor. When the two of them looked over again, the staff had all regrouped, rushing over once again.Were they indestructible like cockroaches? Felix and Esme began punching and kicking helplessly. Fortunately, they were both on solid ground. Otherwise, they would've tripped and fallen to their deaths.It took a bit of effort to finally disperse them all again. Having learned their lessons, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore and rushed up the stairs madly. Sure enough, the mall staff collected themselves and started moving much faster!It was coincidentally similar to the characteristics of Malevolent Phantoms. Was it just a coincidence or intentional? Felix pondered in his mind as they rushed through the emergency exit to the second floor with Esme. Finally, they reached the second floor of Orchard Square. The door behind them slammed shut—and there was pure silence. It was as if they were completely isolate
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1368
After closing the emergency door, the two finally stopped. "Are we safe?" Esme panted.After a moment of thought, Felix replied, "I think so. Then, I'll head back to grab our clothes."Esme immediately grabbed his arm. "Hey! You said you would listen to me. If you go back, can you guarantee to come back? I'm a woman, and even I don't care yet you're the one who can't let it go?"Anyone who saw them would've thought they were having an intense argument. But in fact, they were simply left with no choice."Besides, the second floor sells clothes. Why should we risk going back?"Felix rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "You're right. Okay, let's go." All of a sudden, the emergency door slammed open with a bang. A dozen of the mall staff rushed in. "Intruders! Intruders!"Without hesitation, the two of them ran upstairs. Esme stopped again after a few steps, confusion spread across her face."Do… Do they think they can catch us at that speed? I wonder what the guy controllin

Felix knew these were all illusions, but he still reacted because it looked too real. After speaking, the middle-aged man went downstairs. Esme glanced at Felix and motioned to follow him. She didn't want to alert the enemy and wanted to see what was happening first. They followed the middle-aged man down to the basement and pushed open the emergency door. They entered the basement of Orchard Square. It was a standard mall layout, after all. Felix saw two queues not too far away, but he didn't know what they were lining up for."Get in line. It'll be your turn soon." With that, the middle-aged man left. He clearly wasn't worried about Felix and Esme running away. The two of them looked at each other and Esme gave him a slight nod, intending to stay put. Felix immediately understood that there were too many people around.If a slight expression crossed his face, everyone would stare at him and he would be regarded as a foreign entity, let alone if he ran. Besides, if he moved, w

Just as Felix felt lost, a woman smiling at him from a jewelry shop nearby caught his eye. Her smile was faint, but in such an odd mall, it stood out even more. Otherwise, why would it catch Felix's eye?Her smile was fleeting, disappearing in mere seconds. If it lasted any longer, the people in the mall would probably turn to glare at him again. After seeing the woman turn around and walk away almost robotically, Felix quickly followed her at the same mechanical pace.She led him to an emergency stairwell and as Felix pushed through the door, she stood there waiting for him. "You've got the guts! Most people would've freaked out when they walked into this mall, but you seem quite calm," she said.Felix didn't know what the Black Soul Scout wanted with such an illusion, however, he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid of scaring them away. Besides, he could guess that the scout wasn't in the mall, otherwise, Donna would've sensed it."Who are you? What happened to Orchard Squ
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1365
According to Donna, there were three soul barriers in Orchard Square.The first one was a detection barrier, likely set up by the Black Soul Scout to avoid unnecessary trouble. It ensured that only ordinary people or martial artists could enter. Anyone who had cultivated their soul would disrupt the rules of this private paradise.The second barrier was an illusion-based one, directly affecting a person's soul to blur the line between reality and illusion.The third barrier was the most intriguing. It gathered some kind of energy from souls. Donna wasn't sure what exactly it was. The only way to find out was to step into the mall and investigate.Based on Felix's assessment, the third soul barrier was likely the true objective of Black Soul Scout. To uncover the truth and find the scout, he had no choice but to put himself at risk. There was no alternative.He was well aware that Hall of Souls knew everything about him. Even the lowest-ranked Blue Soul Envoys recognized his name.

"The soul barrier is in place. Let's get this over with. If you two see me, it'll just make things even more awkward, so it's better to start right away," Billy muttered.Inside the villa, an invisible force swept over them. Felix felt something new within his soul. It was something subtle yet impossible to pinpoint. It stirred a strange restlessness deep inside him.Just as he was about to focus on figuring out what was happening, his body reacted. Before he could process it, Xena had already thrown herself into his arms."What's going on? I suddenly feel like I need to be close to you."She clung tightly to him, yet neither of them moved beyond that embrace. Under normal circumstances, things between a man and a woman wouldn't stop here. They would probably undo their clothes."Damn it! That bastard tricked me," Felix muttered.The moment Xena got close, Felix's restless energy reached its peak, making it clear that this was definitely Billy's doing.Time passed. He had no ide
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1363
The moment the topic came up, Felix's gaze flickered, avoiding direct eye contact. No matter how you put it, even though Xena would also benefit from it, it still felt somewhat unfair. It felt that way, especially since they weren't in a relationship. If they were married or at least dating, it wouldn't be an issue at all."I'm exhausted. I need another two days to rest," he said.Billy scoffed. "I know your soul energy is depleted, but trust me. Your fatigue will disappear instantly once your souls merge. The feeling is beyond words. I'm sure you've heard from the Malevolent Phantom how irresistible Soul Binding is, even for those who've already experienced love and passion."Wait, what? Felix was speechless. It seemed that there was really no way out of it."Oh, one last thing. After you and Xena… you know, your soul energy will be completely absorbed and stored away. That means you won't have any left to wield a soul-bound weapon or use any soul attacks. Are you sure you still
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1362
There was only one explanation—Felix really could heal soul damage."Of course, I healed him. Let me rest for a bit. Wake me up when the sun comes up."Felix was utterly exhausted. Even if an S-tier Malevolent Phantom appeared beside him, he couldn't be bothered to care. If Donna had truly wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no reason for her to wait until now.As Donna watched Felix slip into a deep sleep almost instantly, her expression grew more complex.What kind of ridiculous joke was that? Even though Leonardo was a crossbreed, his soul had already inherited the traits of a Malevolent Phantom. While it wasn't exactly the same as a true Malevolent Phantom, the essence of his soul had changed.And yet, Felix had still managed to heal him. If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Malevolent Phantom world to its core.It was like finding out that some miracle doctor could cure any disease in the human world. People would go absolutely crazy.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1361
Leonardo's body suddenly started convulsing, and with foam spilling from his mouth, even a fool could tell something had gone wrong.Damage to the soul was entirely different from physical injuries. If one got a cut, even without treatment, their body would eventually heal on its own. However, the soul wasn't like that. Any damage was permanent and had widespread consequences. Even if just a fraction of an inch of the soul was harmed, the physical reaction could be extreme.Felix let out a long breath. "Finally got it out. It sounds easy, but doing it was incredibly difficult. Even with my soul energy, I nearly couldn't hold on."The level of precision required to make such an impossibly fine cut was beyond imagination. To do it without causing any collateral damage would require soul energy beyond comprehension.Of course, Leonardo's soul had been damaged. There was no avoiding it."At least he's alive. You've done all you could," Donna said.However, Felix just smiled. "That'
