"Bring it on," Ryan muttered under his breath. He knew Felix would not care much since he was Gerald's apprentice, but he gave an early warning because Malcolm was not someone to be taken lightly. Among Nala's suitors, Malcolm was one of the few who made Ryan wary, especially since Malcolm had the backing of the Crayden family, one of the Eight Great Martial Families. This alone gave him every reason to be arrogant and aggressive.… Early the next morning, Jeffrey from the Saphira family was already waiting at the gates when Felix opened his door. "Have you picked the location?" Felix asked.Jeffrey nodded and replied, "Yes. It's all set." "Then, let's go," Felix said, heading out. He had notified Jeffrey because of what happened last time with Ethan. Since the Saphira family had stepped in to help, any confrontation with Malcolm would inevitably involve the Saphiras."Mr. Zeller, you're right. Malcolm did contact me and suggest that we meet at a specific location," Jeffre

Felix asked, "How much longer?"Jeffrey checked the time before responding, "About an hour and a half.""I'm going to take a walk around. I'll be back in an hour," Felix said as he stood up. The Saphira family had only sent Jeffrey since this was supposed to be a fight between the younger generations. After all, the Crayden family would not dare try anything underhanded against Jeffrey.If that were to happen, it would inevitably lead to an all-out war between the families—something even the Elders' Council could not mediate.When they arrived, Felix detected the distinctive aroma of the rare medicinal herb Shadowroot. He remembered working with a similar herb when trying to cure Curtis, but that one had been harmless with a localized effect.The Shadowroot was different and far more dangerous, and even a minute of exposure could be fatal to an ordinary person. Doctors familiar with its properties would usually remove it from the area, even if they did not need it. It was to pre

Felix stared at Lemuel, wondering if the latter had lost his mind. "Mr. Morris, are you sure you're talking to me?" Lemuel's smile widened as he stepped closer. "Of course, I'm talking to you. And when I say your father, I don't mean the one who passed away. I'm referring to your biological father, Victor Greene."Felix was shocked. He had never met Lemuel before, yet this man seemed to know so much about him. He asked, "How do you know about that?" Lemuel explained, "Victor and I are best friends. Actually, this antidote I'm working on is for him, but it seems we're running out of time."Five years ago, he started falling ill. It's been relentless—as soon as one disease is cured, another takes its place, as if he's been cursed."Felix let out a bitter laugh. "Well, maybe he deserves it." Any parent who abandoned their child deserved such a fate in his mind—there was no excuse for abandonment, especially when they had the choice not to have a child in the first place.Sensin

"What!" Nala jumped to her feet, fully aware that the conflict between Felix and Malcolm had started because of her. "Damn it! Since when did the Crayden family become so aggressive? How dare they plan an assassination when the Saphira family is involved?" she exclaimed. This also puzzled Alfie, as the Eight Great Martial Families typically favored strategy over brute force."Have Yvonne warn Felix to get out of there immediately," Nala ordered."Yes, miss!" Alfie rushed to comply. Even though Felix had advanced significantly in his training, he was no match for a Crayden family elder. If they crossed paths, it would be certain death. This was not what Nala had wanted at all. Her interest in Felix stemmed from his incredible potential—his dual mastery of both medicine and martial arts was extraordinary. She had been banking on his future growth to benefit her plans, but all would be lost if he died now."Felix, you absolutely cannot die," she whispered, clenching her fists.

Jeffrey stepped forward, his energy radiating powerfully. "Go ahead and try! We've both reached the Ultimate Mortal Realm."We've never had the chance to fight, and maybe today's the day we find out who's stronger."Malcolm raised his hand dismissively. "Sorry, but I'm here for Felix, not you, Jeffrey. "He turned to Felix and taunted, "What's wrong, Felix? Are you just going to hide behind others like a coward? You had the guts to mess with the Crayden family, but not the courage to face the consequences?"Before Felix could respond, Jeffrey let out a contemptuous laugh. "You're not even sure you can beat me, yet you want to fight Mr. Zeller? That's the joke of the century!" Felix had already achieved the Innate Realm, far beyond Malcolm's level. He could end this with a single strike. Malcolm stroked his chin, smirking. "Oh? You make a good point. After all, he must be special to catch Lady Nala's eye."He raised his hand again, and Harry hurried over like an eager puppy, li

The power gap was absolute. It was an unbridgeable chasm. The next moment, Omar vanished completely, moving too fast for Jeffrey's eyes to track."Dad, did you anticipate this?" Jeffrey thought helplessly, knowing he could only prepare to collect Felix's body. No one had expected the Craydens to break from the rule so drastically. Suddenly, a muffled boom echoed through the air. Omar's figure reappeared, stumbling backward several steps until he reached Malcolm's side, shockingly coughing up blood."Show yourself!" Malcolm cried out in alarm. As he looked closer, he saw a short, middle-aged man standing expressionlessly about six feet in front of Felix. "Since when did the Craydens earn the right to discipline members of my family?" As the voice rang out, a young man emerged from a nearby building, casually chewing on a toothpick."Asher Greene!" Malcolm, being from Yartford, recognized the young man instantly. While Jeffrey did not know him personally, the name Greene carried e

Felix shook his head firmly. "My home ceased to exist when my parents died."Asher stopped and looked at Felix as if he were an idiot. "Are you fucking dense, Felix? I could've found you at your place, but I chose this location specifically to show you what the Greene family is capable of."You'd be dead if I hadn't intervened just now! Isn't that enough to make you understand?"Felix had to admit Asher had a point, and he seemed surprisingly considerate. "Thanks for your kindness, but my only home now exists in my heart." Asher was exasperated. "Listen. The only reason you have this chance to return to the Greene family is because Uncle Victor is dying! Otherwise, given Grandma's attitude, you wouldn't even be considered! "Are you really going to refuse to see your dying father one last time?"At these words, Felix thought of Lemuel and pulled out the box. "This is Mr. Morris' medicine. It will give him one more week to live. You can deliver it for me."Asher accepted the box

"Felix, this is Zara Morgan. I'm sorry, but Mr. Grayson's watching me closely, so I had to use a new number to contact you," she explained. Even now, Felix could not understand why Silas had made him make that promise."Go ahead. I'm listening," Felix replied calmly."Well... could you accompany me somewhere tonight? I could go alone, but the place is supposedly haunted at night, and I'm really scared," Zara clarified nervously.Felix found her excuse rather strange. "Zara, normally, I'd help you with anything, but I made a promise to Mr. Grayson. I don't want to go back on my word."Besides, Ernest was there at that time. If Silas found out about this and came looking for Felix, it would only bring nothing but trouble. "I know, but you owe me a favor. Surely a man of honor can repay a debt?" Zara countered.Felix had to admit she had a point, which immediately eased his conscience. "Alright. I'll see you tonight.""I can't come out easily. Could you buy some protective charm

The battle was raging on the other side, but Felix was not having it easy either.Five elders from the Maximus family had arrived after him. Two of them, at the late-stage of the Transcendent Realm, teamed up to fight Dickson, while the other three, at the middle-stage of the Transcendent Realm, launched an attack on Felix."You guys really have no shame. You're two realms above me, and still, you gang up on me three-to-one!" Felix had launched his Lone Paragon technique and was struggling to keep up."Just shut up. Your fate is sealed," one of them sneered.They didn't even acknowledge Felix's victory from the earlier fight, so why would they care about the ethics of ganging up on him?A few minutes later, Dickson was injured from the fight, while Felix was still desperately holding on. The fact that Felix was still in the fight alarmed the three middle-stage Transcendent Realm elders from the Maximus family.They thought, "Damn it, what's going on with this kid? Even if he laun

Inside the black smog was a perilous situation. The black mist seemed alive, stretching out countless tentacles that charged at Felix."Dancing Dragon!" Felix let out another command.The battle raged inside the smog. But outside, Atlas stood with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his lips."Mr. Marlow, don't worry. I have it under control. I won't kill him."Although he didn't receive a response from Dickson, it didn't dampen Atlas' confidence in winning the battle.This was his most powerful technique. When Obsidian Sky was unleashed, even an early-stage Transcendent Realm practitioner of the same level would suffer defeat on the spot. Middle-stage Transcendent practitioners would struggle to defend against it. As for Felix, so what if he had trained in the Dragon Destroyer technique? The Maximus family was a formidable force among martial artists.Suddenly, they heard a soft sound as a gap appeared in the black smog. Something surged out from inside.Atlas' expression c

"As the deputy chief of Harmony Clinic, I, Dickson Marlow, will not walk back on my promise," Dickson swore.The Maximus family members chortled at his reply.They knew for a fact that Atlas was an early-stage Transcendent Realm martial artist. On the other hand, Felix was just a martial artist in the Physical Refinement Realm. The outcome was already obvious.The Maximus family would prefer to bring Felix with them without laying a finger on him. After all, it wasn't their intention to offend those from Harmony Clinic, as that would mean insulting most alchemists in the industry. That might impede the growth of the Maximus family members in martial arts.Dickson's prior analysis was on point—even if he got into a fight with the Maximus family, they wouldn't kill him. The most they would do was to paralyze him so they could take Felix.If they killed Dickson, they would get into huge trouble with Harmony Clinic."Do you agree with that, Felix?" Dickson seemed exasperated after

Dickson nodded and started to pick his nose. "Oh, this feels great. Well, an alchemist can help, but we have a problem. There are ten alchemists who can cultivate pills for the early-stage and middle-stage Transcendent Realm martial artists. It'll get harder from middle-stage to late-stage—only five alchemists are qualified. "For now, only Bern and Delilah have the ability to cultivate pills needed for mastering the Transcendent Realm. Even then, their success rates are dismally low—out of ten attempts, they're lucky if they manage to produce two pills."Huh? That sounded really incredulous."As an alchemist, you need to understand that the rarer the pills, the more precious the herbs required. Gathering the ingredients for one attempt at cultivation takes a lot of time, effort, and emeralds. Factor in the slim success rate, and you might walk away empty-handed. That's why so many have failed in their quest to conquer the Transcendent Realm."Felix sank deep into his thoughts. T

"Mr. Marlow, do you not like to drive or sit in cars?" Felix asked with curiosity while he and Dickson ran."I don't like that stuff. It's too high-profile. I prefer traveling by foot, unless I'm traveling in a group. And you should call me Dicky or Dickson instead. 'Mr. Marlow' sounds a little odd."Felix replied, "Sure. How about just 'Marlow' then?"Dickson gave Felix a funny look. "Interesting. Usually, those who are close to me call me Dicky or Dickson. But you're going for Marlow. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me."In reality, Felix felt rather awkward calling someone Dicky, due to its association with the modern slang."By the way, Marlow, where's the headquarters of Harmony Clinic?""It's at the top of Sumera Mountain—rich in herbs. We've gotten the green light from the royalty to build our clinic on that mountain. In fact, we have the right to the entire mountain!"Felix was surprised to learn that Harmony Clinic's headquarters was not set in Martial City. Still, if Harm

Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 978
At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 977
The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical
