The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 53
As Wendy was about to speak, Bernard regained his composure and shouted, "How dare you!" In the next moment, Bernard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed into Vincent's arms. Wendy was so frightened that she burst into tears and hurried outside. Even Xena's expression changed. Bernard's loyalty was more intense than she had anticipated, to the point of spitting blood over this matter."Joe," she whispered. Jordan nodded in acknowledgment and rushed over to check Bernard's pulse. His assistance helped calm Vincent and Wendy down a bit. "It's nothing serious. It's just a case of stress. A few days of rest will do him good, but during this time, make sure he doesn't face any more pressure." Given the sudden events, if Xena continued to press on the issue, she would no longer deserve the title of goddess of war. She left with Jordan. "Grandpa! I'm so sorry!" Wendy cried like a child. She just didn't want the Kinsleys to be defeated. But it wasn't her inten

Felix's lips curled into a slight smile. It was exactly as he had anticipated. He picked up the bowl he had prepared earlier and placed it by Zane's mouth. Then, he gently patted Zane's back three times with his right hand.On the last pat, Zane surprisingly opened his mouth and expelled something into the bowl. To the astonishment of Gilbert and Jane, Zane laid back down and fell asleep again."All done.""All done?" The couple stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the unbelievable turn of events.It wasn't until Felix approached them with the bowl and pointed to its contents that they understood. "This bug is the reason for your son's condition." Felix showed them the bowl.They looked down to see a white, worm-like creature in the bowl, resembling a dead earthworm, completely still. "This creature is extremely rare. It's called a Snowbug. I won't go into the details, but when it encounters a human, it will actively burrow into their body without leaving any wounds. "

"Milady." Belle grabbed Xena's arm, knowing just how terrifying Nocturno was as a wanted criminal. Unlike criminals who acted in the dark, he often appeared in public, yet he remained elusive due to his extraordinary strength. Even now, no one knew what his limits were."I've already called headquarters. Should we wait for their support before proceeding?" Xena patted Belle's arm, fully aware that she meant well. "It might be too late by then. Regardless of Nocturno's intentions to see me, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to take him down. If we wait for headquarters, Nocturno isn't a fool—he'll have already escaped," Xena said."Don't worry. I'm not that easy to deal with, either," she added.Though she said this, Xena felt uncertain. Every Super S-rank wanted criminal was formidable in their own right.…Meanwhile, Felix had returned to his villa. He didn't intend to turn on the lights. Given the armed guards outside, suddenly illuminating the place would be hi

Xena glanced at Felix with a complex expression. "Please wait in the yard. My people need to search your villa. Don't worry. We won't mess up the place," she said."Okay." Felix nodded.When Belle emerged from the villa with her team, Xena left with just a glance. However, before departing, she said, "Sorry for the trouble." Felix was surprised. It was a miracle that this woman could maintain such a good attitude in front of him.… The child had already been sent to the hospital, and her parents were notified. Xena and Belle then drove toward the Phoenix Legion headquarters. Most of their personnel had been dispatched throughout Avesburgh to search for Nocturno, although they knew the chances of finding him were slim. But one question lingered. Why had Nocturno suddenly abandoned the child and not killed Felix, who was also sleeping in the villa? This was completely out of character for Nocturno. He was known to be brutal, which was why he was classified as a Super S-ran

Felix had already changed into his pajamas and finished washing up. He was now preparing for bed. However, just then, the doorbell rang. He was puzzled. Who could be visiting at this late hour?His expression was strange as he saw Xena on the video monitor."Do you have something else to discuss?" he said.Seeing that Felix was outside but hadn't opened the gate, Xena felt a surge of irritation. However, remembering her inner suspicions, she held back her frustration. "Although it's a bit late and my visit is somewhat inappropriate, is this how you welcome your guests?" she snapped.Felix opened the gate and turned to walk away. "Come in," he said.Xena was even more annoyed by his attitude. After all, she was the first goddess of war in Dragonia—beautiful and talented, the dream woman of countless men. Yet, every time she encountered Felix, it felt as though he had a way of filtering out her extraordinary beauty as if he simply couldn't see it."Get to the point. I'm

At 10:00 am, Sasha entered a café in Avesburgh."Good morning, Mr. Glover," she greeted.The one who had called her out was Ted. His stature was far beyond her reach, and she had heard he had a terrifying background. Even Hugo would respectfully address him as Mr. Glover.When she received the call last night, she was puzzled. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what she had done to warrant a meeting with Ted."Have a seat," Ted said with a smile. "I looked around and found out that you know Felix. Your relationship with him is not ordinary." Instantly, Sasha stood up again, her expression in complete disarray."Mr. Glover, let me explain. While I do know Felix, I dislike him. I would not be in touch with him if it weren't for my dad. So, whatever trouble he's caused has nothing to do with me or my family," she clarified.In her view, Felix, the big fraud, had somehow gotten on Ted's bad side. It took guts to mess with someone of his stature. "Y

"Change?" The sales associate was taken aback by the request. She knew the customer was always right, but she seemed to have a bit of a temper and dared to question him."Why?" Felix frowned even deeper. "Looks like the favors from back then have gone to waste. It's only been three years, and you don't recognize your cousin. Sabrina, you haven't changed at all."Indeed, the woman before him, with her stunning figure, was Felix's cousin, Sabrina Zeller, the daughter of his fifth uncle. When Sabrina heard this, her eyes widened as she took a closer look at Felix, finally recalling something. "Oh, my God! Is that you, Felix? I can't believe you're still alive!" This instinctive reaction revealed the nature of their relationship. "I don't want to waste time talking with you. Get me another sales associate. You wouldn't want me to file a complaint, would you?" Whether from his father's side or his mother's, those relatives were all ungrateful ingrates. When Felix's father

As Nina prepared the sales agreement, Felix waited in the lobby.Milo entered the car dealership and headed straight for Sabrina."Sabrina, let's have lunch together. I was taking care of some business around this area and thought of you, but you didn't answer my calls at all," Milo said.Sabrina sneered. She usually had men interested in her wrapped around her finger, and Milo was one of them. After he bought a Range Rover last time, he had been pestering her relentlessly."Oh, Mr. Quinton, I'm at work. How could I have time to answer the phone?" Sabrina replied.After saying that, Sabrina suddenly thought of something and looked on the verge of tears, which Milo noticed."What's wrong? Who's bullied you?" he asked.Sabrina forced out a tear. "I'm... I'm fine!" she said.This was the perfect opportunity for Milo to impress the woman he loved. "Tell me! Damn it! Who dares to bully you? I'll stand up for you," he bellowed."Mr. Quinton, you're so good. I feel so safe with y

The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1458
If the government was planning to just attack Hall of Souls with missiles, they must have been seriously pissed off this time.But it made sense. After all, countless people had risked their lives fighting Malevolent Phantoms, while Hall of Souls not only failed to resist but actually conspired with them. That was truly despicable. Felix asked, "But how are you sure what the Black Soul Scout said is true? Even with soul memory extraction, wouldn't you need to verify it?"Xena answered, "Of course. Everyone's worried about hurting innocent people. Our national guardian has already checked a few locations personally. He has confirmed they're definitely Hall of Souls laboratories or bases." The guardian? Felix frowned. "Isn't that overkill? Why not just let the guardian eliminate them all directly?" Xena's voice turned colder. "How could that possibly be as intimidating as missiles? We haven't located the leader of Hall of Souls, Scarlet Lord. That's why we need something that sen
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1457
Donna laughed with a teasing look on her face. "What? You only managed to kill one S-tier Malevolent Phantom because you had perfect timing and conditions. Yet, you're acting so confident now." Since Donna was a Malevolent Phantom herself, Felix had to be careful. Felix had no problem with Donna knowing he was at Superior Soul Realm before. But now that he'd jumped up to Ethercore Realm, he had to keep quiet about it since that was something that required soul enhancement. "I know my limits. Or are you saying you don't know the answer, either?" Donna held up one finger before answering, "You're currently at Superior Soul Realm. You'll have to reach Ethercore Realm to be able to fight against an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Felix was genuinely surprised to hear that, but he played it cool. "Really? Looks like I won't have to run from S-tier Malevolent Phantoms much longer." As expected, Donna snickered and replied coldly, "It might seem like just one level away, but don't you
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1456
Though the attack seemed coordinated, everything happened incredibly fast. Felix and Benjamin worked together perfectly, so it took them just over ten seconds to finish off Malachar. Felix felt lucky. Without Francis' soul fragment and Benjamin's help, he would never have killed an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like Malachar. That was a close one. "Benjamin, we got him." Hearing Felix's voice, Benjamin, who had been fighting off exhaustion, smiled before passing out. Just then, the power rebound from the Mystical Explosive Orb surged through him. Felix realized that while Francis' soul fragment was gone, he had sacrificed the valuable Scholar's Arsenal as well. But absorbing the power rebound from an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's soul essence was a pretty sweet deal anyway. As he absorbed it, Felix was completely blown away—though he already knew how powerful S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were. The one he'd run into at Laurel Resort had been falling apart at its soul core, yet its p

Though things had not gone exactly as planned, Felix hadn't grown this far on luck alone. He activated Lone Paragon, which enhanced his soul aspects by unleashing a fourfold boost in combat power. Lumen instantly shot toward Malachar. After exposing his true form, Malachar now had six legs and two antennas on his forehead, though otherwise he didn't look too different."You stupid brat, I can't believe you actually knew I wouldn't spare you!" Malachar grinned like a madman. Having devoured such a powerful soul, he was naturally in high spirits. With a casual wave of his hand, Lumen was knocked back as if hit by a heavy blow, returning instantly to Felix's side. "Benjamin!" This was no time for talk. They needed to take Malachar down before he fully digested Francis' soul fragment. "Having help won't save you. You've underestimated the power of an S-tier Malevolent Phantom." Benjamin had been preparing all along. Right then, he shot his right hand forward in a pointing gest
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1454
As the cracks on the stone sphere grew wider, Felix did not waste another second. He activated Soulweave and directed it to the Scholar's Arsenal inside him. Though Felix wasn't their actual owner, his soul consciousness existed within the Scholar's Arsenal. So when he performed the Soulweave technique from the Phaeron Codex, the four soul-bound weapons of the Scholar's Arsenal recognized Felix as their master. A visible vortex of soul energy formed instantly, pulling in the Scholar's Arsenal. Felix felt the Scholar's Arsenal trying to resist. Too bad for them—the Soulweave was already active in Felix's soul. It left them no room for rebellion as they were sucked straight into the vortex. He thought, "Damn it! I can't believe that it drains half of my soul energy." This technique was too costly, so there was no way he'd use it during battle in the future. The Soulweave process varied based on the quality of the soul-bound weapons—minimum three days, maximum nine. Now, he co
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1453
When Felix heard that Malachar had arrived, he tensed up. This was his first time being hunted by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, and instead of fear, he felt incredibly excited. He sprang into action, vanishing into the barren mountain after a few quick jumps. Malachar was moving fast, so there was no time to waste. Arriving at a spot in the valley, Felix was surprised to see dozens of unmarked graves there. They were just small mounds of earth arranged neatly without headstones. What drew his attention was a large oval tomb in the center that was clearly made of stone. Even without a marker, the green stones alone were enough to show it was something special. The call from the Scholar's Arsenal was coming from inside. As Felix approached, a rumbling sound echoed as the oval stone structure split open down the middle. It revealed a pitch-black entrance leading underground. This soul fragment was hidden so carefully. It might actually remain undiscovered for thousands or even t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1452
Donna nodded. Honestly, she herself felt tempted. Devouring such a soul would bring immeasurable growth, so no S-tier Malevolent Phantom could possibly pass up such an opportunity. Donna said, "But Felix, remember this. If that so-called soul fragment wins, it's your problem to deal with. But if Malachar wins, you must finish it off within one minute! "We S-tier Malevolent Phantoms can fully absorb a soul within a minute. You should know exactly how much stronger Malachar would become afterward." Felix gave a cold laugh, not bothering to respond. The moment the battle was decided, Malachar would attack relentlessly in the very next second—Felix would have less than one minute to react. Regardless of who won or lost, this was definitely going to happen no matter what. "By the way, can the Mystical Explosive Orb only capture a Malevolent Phantom's soul essence?" Donna smiled bitterly. "That's how the orb was designed. Thanks for your concern. I know what you're thinking. If the
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1451
Throughout Dragonia's history, there had been countless super geniuses whose existence was simply beyond description. What made the Malevolent Phantoms so special? Just because someone was from out of town didn't mean they know better, right? Felix had no idea why he felt so confident about his current plan. "Let's give it a try first." Clearly, no matter how much he tried to convince Donna, she still believed S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stronger. She was so confident of this because she knew too well what Malevolent Phantoms were like. Before they began, Donna warned him again, "Are you sure he can handle the pressure when I unleash all my soul energy? One wrong move, and his soul will completely collapse." Felix was about to respond, but Benjamin had already answered, "It's fine. Go ahead. If I die from this, then it's what fate intended." Seeing the new look on Benjamin's face, Felix couldn't help but gulp. He felt as if an army of thousands was charging toward him, an
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1450
Similarly, after reaching Superior Soul Realm, Felix could use another secret technique from the Phaeron Codex called the Soulweave technique. It wasn't an attack. It resembled something like the Spirit Eye, which was reserved only for support.The Soulweave technique was to merge different soul-bound weapons and turn them into a different weapon. There was a high chance the new soul-bound weapons would surpass the original weapon by at least a level. Of course, there was also the probability of failure and getting nothing from it. The chance of success or failure was never predictable. It was all up to fate.Back when Felix infiltrated Rebirth Sect, he was excited. However, after seeing what the technique did, he almost burst a blood vessel from how frustrated he was. Soul-bound weapons only recognized their owner, let alone anything else.If the owner didn't take the bound away, the weapon would also disappear after its owner's death. So, didn't that mean Felix's new technique w
