The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 490
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 burly man had never heard his employer sound so irritated before, but it was understandable given the circumstances.Taking revenge on someone as insignificant as Ryland should have been a walk in the park. It should have been an effortless task. However, an unexpected hiccup arose.The unexpected involvement of the Meadowspring village chief wasn't a big deal as their plan could still proceed. However, just as the second phase of their plan was about to begin, someone appeared. That person issued a warning to his employer to leave Michelle and Ryland alone.His employer had no choice but to swallow his pride and comply. The reason? That person was the legendary Silver Flute. Refusing such a figure could easily cost them their life.Naturally, all the pent-up frustration and resentment had to be directed somewhere. Since Felix was also involved, he became the perfect target. However, Karina had left Felix out of the loop entirely. …Meanwhile, Jack had just finished washing

While on the road to Meadowspring, with only about three miles left to reach his destination, Felix suddenly slammed on the brakes. A BMW X6 had abruptly swerved in front of him, its brake lights flashing. A collision would've been inevitable if not for Felix's quick reflexes.The road was already narrow to begin with, with only two lanes for traffic. While the BMW's aggressive maneuver was extremely frustrating for any driver, Felix was in a hurry. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it. With a swift turn of the steering wheel, he aimed to overtake the car. To his surprise, the BMW had also veered into the opposite lane, clearly intending to block him.Felix took a moment to assess the situation. The BMW had been driving at a crawl just ten minutes earlier, and Felix had honked a few times, but the driver had ignored him. It seemed like the driver was seeking revenge just because of those few honks.A wry smile crossed Felix's face as he pressed the gas pedal, feinting a
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 497
The small square of Meadowspring was packed with people. The women were crying, and the men were no better, their faces full of sorrow.The cause of this collective sadness was Calum, the old village chief, whose contributions to the village were well-known to all. His downfall was a tragic event for everyone. Despite the grief, no one dared to speak out because of the power of the Saphira family. The Saphira family was the law, and no one could change that. Strictly speaking, Calum had indeed broken the rules, which was a fact, so the villagers could only send him off in this manner.At that moment, Calum appeared, flanked by two men dressed in traditional blue suits, symbolizing their direct Saphira lineage. If someone from the collateral branches of the family dared to wear those clothes, they would be executed on the spot.Among the crowd, a large man frowned. He was Pearly's lackey."Could it be that Pearly's prediction was wrong? It's about to start, but Felix still hasn't

"The reason that creature suddenly lashed out so violently was because of the formation covering Martial City," Xena explained. "Based on my observations, this formation prevents Malevolent Phantoms from entering. That old man only got in because someone deliberately used a token to bring him inside. Even though he made it through, the formation still affected him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed so openly like you described."Malevolent Phantoms were already difficult to deal with, and intelligent Malevolent Phantoms were even worse. But that raised a bigger question. How were they created?"Since you've already taken care of it, I can at least report that much," Xena continued. "Felix, I really hope you can finish your mission soon. The capital desperately needs the warriors of Martial City to step in."With that, the call ended. Felix hadn't gained much new information, so all he could do was continue following his plan.After arriving at Misty Ridge, Felix immediately sens
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1089
For martial artists who reached the Transcendent Realm, the first three years were crucial for growth. After that period, their strength would be practically set. Hence, that phase determined the gap between those at the same level.Cordelia, for example, had attained her current level of power three years after reaching the Transcendent Realm. Given how things are unfolding, Felix only needed six months after activating Lone Paragon to reach his current strength. It was highly likely that he could reach her level as well.However, before he could dwell on these thoughts, a phone call from Xena completely disrupted his focus.To be honest, Felix was caught off guard. This was a phone exclusively used in Martial City. If Xena hadn't saved her number on his phone before he entered Martial City and mentioned that she might contact him one day, he would have never believed it."You entered Martial City?" Felix asked, puzzled. Xena wasn't someone who could just waltz into Martial City f

"This guy's cultivation technique is just a little strange, nothing special," Laura said.After relaying Felix's telepathy message, she stepped back. Her words had the intended effect. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. If more of those kinds of monsters started appearing, who could possibly stand against them?Though the situation had finally settled down, Felix wasn't the least bit happy. While his own troubles had just ended, the ordeal was completely unexpected. Logically, he still believed in the Phaeron Codex. After all, he had been practicing it himself and understood its power. If what was written in it was true, then there was no way for any of the wraiths to leave Corpse Town. So how did that old man get out?He decided not to dwell on it for now, as he had his own path to walk first.A few days later, in Imperial City, the Emperor and his sons sat in gloomy silence, staring at the three Celestial Royals standing at the forefront."You all saw what happened at the foot
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1087
"Make way!""Mr. Zeller is here!""Yeah, step aside!"The open space where Felix had previously confronted the three Celestial Royals remained empty. However, panic filled the air. Two bodies lay motionless on the ground. Although there were no visible wounds, the bodies were utterly still."Mom! What happened?"Cordelia pointed toward the only man still standing in the middle of the clearing. His lower body had been blasted apart. However, fresh flesh was already regenerating at an eerily incredible speed. At this rate, he'd be fully healed in less than five seconds."We're not sure. He suddenly attacked the two people lying on the ground. No one saw exactly how it happened, and then it turned into this mess."From what Cordelia explained, the man had erupted in violence without warning. The relatives of the deceased had immediately retaliated, unleashing a furious assault. They managed to destroy most of his body. However, he wouldn't die. His flesh kept regrowing, which was a

Felix was taken aback. "You can sense when I'm in danger?""Yes," Zara nodded. "Ever since we did the deed, there's been this indescribable bond between us. If you're ever in real danger, no matter where you are, I can feel it. Like last time, and this time too."Felix finally understood. Although there had been many dangerous situations, Zara had only appeared in these two, meaning the threat must have been severe.If he had really used Lumen to kill the three Celestial Royals, would he have fallen into darkness? If not, why else would Zara have shown up at that critical moment?"Why couldn't you kill those three?" he asked.Zara explained, "I've only just gained the upper hand. Right now, the Twinshade Body still controls 40% of me, while I hold 60% percent. If I were to use a stronger power, the Twinshade Body would immediately seize the opportunity to counterattack. "All my efforts so far would be wasted, and I can't say for sure if I'd be able to regain control again. But i

"Felix! If you have the guts, let's settle this another day. One final battle!" Aiden cried.Upon seeing Felix close in, Aiden panicked. He wasn't a match for Felix to begin with. Now, with Zara watching like a predator, he knew that if he got caught, death was inevitable.Felix replied, "Funny. You came here to kill me, and now you're asking for a rain check? You think I have all the time in the world for this?"He knew this feud had to end today."You spared the royals because they share the same bloodline as your mother. I, Aiden, am your father's nephew. Why can't you spare me too?" Aiden asked.Felix only responded with a cold laugh. Did he look like someone who spared enemies out of kindness? The only reason he let those three old bastards go was because he had no choice.When Zara had walked up to him slowly, she had been transmitting messages to him via telepathy the whole time.According to her, she only had enough strength left for one attack. And even then, she couldn

"Zara," Felix called out.Upon hearing Felix call her name, Zara turned to him with a sweet smile."What is it, honey?"Felix gestured toward Cordelia. "This is my mother."Any other daughter-in-law would have been nervous, perhaps even overwhelmed with anxiety at this moment. But Zara? She simply looked at Felix with the same cheerful expression and responded with a single word, "Oh."Her reaction confirmed what Gerald had once told Felix. Once Zara had fully suppressed the Twinshade Body, she would only recognize Felix. Nothing and no one else would matter to her.Seeing that Zara had stopped her attack, the three Celestial Royals let out a breath of relief, knowing they had just barely escaped death's grasp. While they were still shaken up, the Grand Elder and Aiden were petrified. Zara's sudden arrival had completely upended their expectations. It was an unforeseen twist that caught them completely off guard."Mom, what's wrong?"With a complicated expression, Cordelia gl

No one knew when the woman had arrived, but there she was. She appeared gracefully, her steps light as air. Dressed simply in a flowing white gown, she outshone everything around her.Everyone—young and old, men and women alike—was captivated. Their gazes locked onto her, unable to look away. She was breathtaking, beyond the reach of words. No description, no matter how poetic, could do her beauty justice."Zara?"Felix was stunned with joy. He hadn't expected Zara to appear at this moment. However, it wasn't just her presence. It was the look in her eyes, the expression on her face. It was her. The Zara he knew, not the dark force of the Twinshade Body.Which could only mean one thing—she had conquered it.His voice snapped the others out of their daze. Many men suddenly realized they had been standing there, slack-jawed, with drool dripping from their chins.For the first time, Nerissa felt truly outshined in terms of beauty. Yet, instead of jealousy, she felt a deep sense of j

Seeing Felix step forward on his own, a deep sense of pride swelled in Cordelia's heart as a mother."You forced me into this. I wanted to keep things peaceful, but you drove me to embrace the demon within."Felix's words made it clear. He was ready to use his dagger, Lumen. At death's door, why should he still care about the impact on his soul? That would be laughable."You little brat! How dare you pull a bluff before us?""You have no idea how vast the world is! So what if you embrace the demon within you? If power could be changed with mere words, wouldn't Martial City have fallen into chaos long ago?""If you can withstand three of my attacks, I'd already consider you quite capable."Aiden smirked. He knew it was over—his long-standing grudge against Felix would finally be settled.At the same time, the Grand Elder clenched his teeth, barely able to contain his anticipation. The moment Felix was slaughtered, he'd have his head severed and tossed into the capital just to let
