Zara lowered her head, not wanting Felix to notice her disappointment. She replied, "Yes, I understand. It won't happen again."When they reached the entrance of Mourning Village, the eerie atmosphere hit them both. Felix felt a shiver creep down his spine as he stared at the darkened village ahead. It loomed like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, swallowing anyone who dared step inside and leaving no hope of return.Even standing outside, the oppressive darkness was suffocating. Felix could only imagine how it would feel to walk into the heart of it."Felix, let's put on the protective items," Zara urged.They quickly covered themselves with the various charms purchased from Sixview Peak. Felix was unsure if he was doing it to humor Zara or to settle his unease, but he did not mind the slight comfort it brought.Even as a powerful martial artist, Felix understood that the human fear of ghosts and the unknown could not simply be dismissed with brave words. With everything in pl

When they reached the corner, both black and white figures had vanished. However, Felix's lips curled into a slight smile as he muttered, "Well, I'm not going to be the one regretting this."Still carrying Zara, Felix raised his right hand slightly and then brought it down decisively. A thunderous crash echoed through the village, and a deep crater appeared about 300 feet away.Felix walked to the edge of the crater, gently set Zara down, and turned on his phone's flashlight. Zara gasped and covered her mouth in horror. Inside the crater lay two men, bloodied and severely injured."I knew there were no ghosts—just people playing tricks," Felix said as he crouched down. He continued, "Tell me. What makes two Martial Emperors play ghosts in some abandoned village? And how did you create those ghostly voices?"The two men paled with fear and stared at Felix as if he were a monster. The fact that a single strike from him had left them in this state spoke volumes about his strength.

Xena and Alistair were already at the scene with numerous Wolfie troops members, having arrived in multiple helicopters. "Mr. Zeller, we'll take them in for questioning. Thank you for your help," Alistair said."Are you feeling suspicious about this incident?" Xena asked. When Felix nodded, she continued, "Dragonia is vast. Despite Mourning Village's supernatural reputation, there were never any casualties, so previous investigations were merely for show—they found nothing and left."That made sense. With no death, it would surely not get much attention. Felix had to admit that Polaris' strategy was clever. They scared people, but they never crossed the line into actual harm."Will the Martial Alliance handle this?" Felix inquired. Xena shook her head firmly and explained, "No. Given the severity of the situation, I've received authorization from headquarters to handle this personally. Anyone from Polaris involved will face the consequences."She added, "We can't let people s

"Why would Medic's Haven's enforcement team want anything with me?" Felix asked, puzzled. He had never interfered with their affairs."I'm not sure of the details, but they claim you've insulted them and want to investigate," Silas explained.Felix immediately thought of Ethan and believed this had to be his doing. He smirked—Malcolm had already retreated, yet Ethan still dared to act out. "Got it. Thanks for the heads-up," Felix replied casually.Silas sensed Felix's underlying mood and added, "Just be careful. You know how Medic's Haven operates. "While most members are reasonable, their enforcement team is notoriously aggressive. Try to be diplomatic. If the investigation goes smoothly, this might blow over. Don't antagonize them." Felix knew Silas meant well, so he gave a polite response. Still, Felix was not the kind to bow his head over something he did not do. If they wanted trouble, they would get exactly what they asked for."Everything really was under Mr. Grayson'

Hansel was completely enraged to be touched. "Son of a bitch! Idiots show up every day, but today's count is off the charts! Do you have a death wish?"He spun around and threw a punch, only to stop midway."Excuse me? You didn't park your car properly. How could you blame others instead of owning up to it?"Hansel froze. When he got a good look at Felix, he nearly passed out from fright. "Mr. Z-Zeller!"Releasing his grip, Felix frowned. "Who are you?"Gulping, Hansel retreated, his face pale with fear. "I-I'm one of Mr. Luis' guys. I've seen you before."He began to slap himself repeatedly as he spoke. The smacks echoed loudly as he hit himself with all his strength."Mr. Zeller, please give me another chance! I'm begging you!"Felix felt a little frustrated. "Just move your car away. I'll let Luis decide your punishment.""Thank you, Mr. Zeller!"Only then did Felix notice Nancy standing nearby. "Nancy, are you heading out of town?"Nancy hadn't expected Felix to swoop in

Yvonne's wrists bore deep gashes. Blood seeped from her wounds, pooling across the floor. A knife lay nearby. Its presence made it glaringly obvious that Yvonne had slit her wrists.After what felt like an eternity, Yvonne slowly opened her eyes."Is this… hell?"As her faint words trailed off, a voice answered her, "Do you want to go to hell that badly?"Turning around, she saw Felix standing nearby, his face noticeably paler than usual."Felix? Did… Did you save me?"Felix's expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on her. "What else could I have done? Do you think I would've let you die? Yvonne, what were you thinking? Why did you try to kill yourself?"The room showed no signs of a struggle. While Yvonne would've been helpless facing a highly skilled fighter, things wouldn't be so messy if that were the case. The most likely explanation was that Yvonne truly intended to end her own life.Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned away."Lady Nala ordered me to die. How coul

"Alright. I'll talk to him about him when he wakes up," Xena replied.As they headed downstairs, they ran into Aimee, who had just entered the house."Felix? Who let you in here?"Before Felix could respond, Xena frowned and interjected, "Aimee, don't talk to Felix with that tone again, understood?"Aimee thought she had misheard. Her anger toward Felix flared up again. She had assumed that with the Greene family's involvement, Felix's fate would have been miserable. After all, families of that caliber rarely showed mercy to the people they had discarded. Yet here he was, still thriving.She had even sought answers from Nala, but there was no response. Seeing Felix standing in her own home was the last straw."Does he even deserve my respect? Have you forgotten the evil things this coward did to Grandpa?"Xena's expression turned icy. "That's not your concern. Just don't treat Felix like an enemy anymore."Feeling utterly betrayed by her own family, Aimee clenched her teeth. Le

Apart from Ethan, there were three other men dressed in white suits. They were led by a middle-aged man holding a badge in his right hand."I am Hezekiah Samson of the Law Enforcement Team from Medic's Haven. Come with us."Felix smirked coldly. "Ethan, have you picked out your grave yet? I never considered you worth my attention, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate an ant pestering me endlessly."Hezekiah frowned. "How dare you threaten someone in the presence of the Law Enforcement Team? Take him away!"At that moment, Alistair stepped in front of Felix. "What evidence do you have for taking him away?"Hezekiah glared at Alistair in annoyance and asked, "And who might you be? Do you understand the consequences of obstructing the operations of Medic's Haven?""Alistair Hill, Commander of the Wolfie troops!"Hearing the name Wolfie troops, Hezekiah's expression softened considerably. "Ah, Captain Hill! Given your position, you should know that Medic's Haven has the authority to

Chloe stepped into the treatment room and found herself face-to-face with a middle-aged doctor, Stewart. He looked like he was in his 40s and was wearing a surgical mask.He said, "Hello! Lie down.""Alright," Chloe mumbled. She followed the instructions given by the person on the street—pay the fee, stay silent, and go through with a routine cleaning. Coincidentally, she had actually gotten her teeth cleaned before, so the entire procedure felt exactly the same. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, she could not help but wonder if this could actually cure her body odor. Just then, Stewart said, "You're all set. You can leave now."Chloe wanted to ask more questions but held herself back. She stepped out of the dental clinic and walked a block in the agreed-upon direction before Felix appeared."Open your mouth," Felix said. Then, he swirled a cotton swab inside her mouth and examined it closely in the light.Just like that, he already knew what was going on.Chloe as

Donna explained, "I call them hybrids because they aren't real Malevolent Phantoms. They just inherit certain traits, which aren't always the same! "For example, some might have regenerative abilities purely on a physical level—this doesn't require soul energy. Their bodies just heal on their own. Others might inherit aspects related to soul energy, but overall, there's no fixed rule."However, one thing is certain. At least from what I know, Malevolent Phantoms cannot truly reproduce by merging with other species. No matter what, they won't give birth to a real Malevolent Phantom."Felix latched onto that last sentence, his grip tightening as he quickly asked, "Then, if they aren't real Malevolent Phantoms, does that mean whoever's controlling you guys can't reclaim them?"Donna replied, "Exactly! A hybrid is just that—a hybrid. Think of it like ligers, the lion-tiger hybrids humans breed. They're entirely new species. How could the ones controlling us possibly reclaim them?"Fe

Felix nearly choked on his own spit. He quickly cleared his throat and blurted out, "You sure you called the right person?"For a second, he panicked. If anyone else had overheard that, they would have thought Xena was announcing his child's birth.Xena replied, "No mistake. I was just too shocked. This is huge."Felix frowned and asked, "Alright… Then, why are you telling me about this?"Xena's tone turned serious. "Felix, we've been monitoring a Malevolent Phantom for a while. We finally took it down. But here's the thing—its wife was already pregnant, and just now… she gave birth."Felix's expression darkened as he thought, "Its wife? No—more accurately, the wife of the human the Malevolent Phantom has replaced."He mumbled aloud, "Are you saying…""You guessed it," Xena confirmed grimly. "To be sure, we called in Dr. Morris. He made a small incision on the newborn's arm, and the wound healed instantly."Felix gasped, wondering what the hell was going on. The idea of a Malev

Felix remarked, "You sure know a lot."He sighed. At this point, he had given up on being surprised—Billy seemed to know everything.Billy replied, "I was just thinking out loud, really. But Mr. Hoffman didn't tell you, and he didn't warn you not to listen to me, either… which probably means he's already given his silent approval!"He added, "When you reach peak Grandmaster, the nine Dragonspine fragments will completely dissolve. Normally, they would merge into your body, unleashing an indescribable energy that continuously strengthens your physique. "Now imagine that—combined with Dragon Punches—how powerful you'd be."Dragon Punches was a technique that had only appeared after Felix had gathered the final Dragonspine fragment and ascended to Grandmaster. Yet, somehow, Billy knew about it, too.All the techniques recorded in Dragons Destroyer had vanished, leaving behind only Dragon Punches—a purely physical combat technique. He had never used it before because he had not enco

As the Malevolent Phantom spoke, his legs fully regenerated. He stood tall, looking at Felix with unwavering confidence. Just then, the roar of an approaching car filled the air.The vehicle screeched to a stop, and the doors flung open. A boy and a girl, no older than eight years old, jumped out and ran straight toward the Malevolent Phantom.They shouted, "Daddy!"The Malevolent Phantom knelt down, wrapping his arms tightly around the two children. His eyes were filled with nothing but warmth and love as he asked, "My little ones, what are you doing here?"They replied excitedly, "We missed you! Mr. Dunphy brought us. It's so late, and you still haven't come home! You promised to tell us a bedtime story tonight!"Felix's raised hand trembled. He finally understood why the Malevolent Phantom was so certain he would not be killed. To these two children, the Malevolent Phantom was their father. His body and voice were identical—the only difference was the soul inside."This is D
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1210
No matter how much a Malevolent Phantom knew, the only thing that was ultimately recovered from them was the extent of humanity's mastery over the soul—nothing else.According to Donna, when a Malevolent Phantom was killed, only a tiny fragment of their remaining soul was retrieved. It was not enough to record everything they had learned—only the most critical information was preserved.So, in the end, whatever intelligence a Malevolent Phantom gathered during its time on Earth did not matter.Felix narrowed his eyes and said, "You're pretty smart. No, actually, a lot of you Malevolent Phantoms seem to have figured this out. Is that why so many of you beg for your lives?"A flicker of hope flashed in the Malevolent Phantom's eyes, and he replied in a serious tone, "I know martial artists like you are bound by your oaths. If you swear on the heavens that you won't kill me, I'll give you some valuable information."Felix did not hesitate. Raising his hand, he declared, "I swear on t

Felix was a Grandmaster. From this close, he could tell immediately whether Malevolent Phantom had used a technique to heal his broken arm or if it had simply regenerated on its own. That was why he made that remark.The Malevolent Phantom frowned. He replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."Then, as if deciding it was not worth the trouble, he muttered, "Whatever. You're strong. I'll give you that. But this isn't that big of a deal, so I'll let you walk away unharmed."Felix's mouth twitched. This was the second Malevolent Phantom he had encountered—after Karina's incident—that actually knew when to back down.It seemed that just like humans, Malevolent Phantoms changed depending on their environment and way of life. The weaker ones, in particular, were more likely to adapt, which was probably why they only killed when they absolutely needed to feed."I'm just a martial artist," Felix said, smirking. "Are you really that afraid of dying?"The Malevolent Phantom

If Felix had not come, no one would have noticed the distinct scent on the victims' bodies. Without that clue, the culprits could have continued their crimes without restraint.He muttered, "Was this all planned by the A-tier Malevolent Phantom? I have a really bad feeling about this."The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became. Could something this organized and meticulously executed really be the work of just one Malevolent Phantom? If humans were involved, that would be far more terrifying.When it came to outside threats, no matter how horrifying, the people of Dragonia had always been willing to fight to the bitter end. However, history had a way of repeating itself—if traitors had existed in the past, who was to say they did not exist now?Eventually, Felix said, "Chloe, here's the plan. Tomorrow, you'll go to this dental clinic. You won't see me, but I'll be watching from the shadows. I promise you won't be in any danger."Then, he pulled out a check. He ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1207
Felix had not expected Gerald to bring up the Ancient Sage and the Eight Guardians on his own.Gerald replied, "Quit worrying about me and my brother. Karina already told me everything, and since you've already clashed with the Eight Guardians, you might as well see it through to the end."With that, the call ended. Felix felt a rush of excitement. At least now, he had something solid to report to Eloise.Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think this would be easy. If Gerald had set this as his goal, it meant the Eight Guardians were not just some random pushovers.Now that he had already crossed paths with Ashton, he did not need to look for trouble—the rest of them would definitely come after him sooner or later. There was no way they would just sit back and do nothing if one of their own was taken out.But so far, Felix had only encountered two of them—Ashton and Bonnie. The other six remained a mystery, and that was the real problem.By the time the sun was setting, his
