Tens of thousands of people? The weight of that number was staggering. In Dragonia, where large-scale incidents had been avoided for years, even a disaster involving a few hundred people would be considered catastrophic—something no one could afford to be held accountable for.It was precisely this fear of collateral damage that had Xena and the Warlord of Thunder so concerned earlier.Felix, on the other hand, didn't seem particularly moved. After all, there was no guarantee that what Candace was saying was true.For all he knew, she could just be spewing nonsense in a desperate attempt to avoid death.But the expression on the Warlord of Thunder and Xena's faces had completely changed. If Candace had shared this information privately with only the two of them present, they might have dismissed it as a lie.However, with so many people in the clinic, including civilians like Felix and Melissa, they couldn't take that risk. If they ignored her and a tragedy of this magnitude actua

Candace noticed that the three of them remained silent, their faces somber.She continued, "I am aware that your headquarters houses powerful masters who may be able to defeat Skybound Revenant. However, by the time they arrive at the scene, many innocent lives may have already been lost."The Warlord of Thunder and Xena's expressions darkened, knowing that Candace was speaking the truth. While the headquarters may have strong individuals who can handle dangerous situations, it takes time for them to reach their destination. At that time, how many more people would fall victim was something unknown.Plus, modern weapons like missiles were not effective against a single target, and no one knew for certain how fast Skybound Revenant could move. The fact that he could fly only added to the problem at hand."Do you have proof? We can't just take your word for it," the Warlord said.Suddenly, Candace pulled out a small, round glass container from inside her arm."My husband gave thi

"Mr. Zeller, she can't die! Hurry up and do something!" the Warlord of Thunder shouted.At this moment, no one cared about anything else. The Warlord of Thunder immediately became anxious. If Candace died, the whereabouts of Skybound Revenant would never be known again.Even if they searched sect by sect, there would be too many unexpected situations that could occur. Moreover, who could guarantee that what Candace said about the sect was the truth? What if she had held something back?Felix shook his head in response."The impact of the martial energy on her body is currently taking its toll. Any external interference will only worsen the damage instead of promoting healing."After a few minutes, Candace's body stopped convulsing, and there was no more blood coming from her nose and mouth."Is she okay now?"Xena also turned to Felix, knowing how skilled he was in medicine."It stopped, but she's gotten even weaker. When I first saw her, I thought she had about a week left, bu

"Happy now?" Xena asked, her expression displeased."Very," Felix replied with a smile and a nod. Dealing with someone like Xena required a different approach. In fact, he wasn't trying to take advantage of her—it was just a way to keep their dynamic intact. After all, chances to outmaneuver Xena didn't come often.As the sun set, the people from headquarters finally arrived—a gray-haired elder and a middle-aged man."Greetings, Marine Asura and Dr. Dixon," Xena said politely.She had already given Felix a heads-up about the two visitors. The middle-aged man was Marine Asura, a Hellbringer from headquarters, whose strength was so formidable that even the Warlord of Thunder was no match for him.The elder was Craig Dixon, the most skilled physician in the headquarters."Who is he? Why is he allowed to be here?" Craig asked, glancing at Felix with a frown. His curt tone hinted at his bad temper. "Dr. Dixon, this is Felix Zeller, the owner of this clinic. He's a reclusive expert,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 709
Craig responded with great confidence, "Based on your physical condition, I'd say you have at least two months to live. But it's hard to say if we factor in the backlash from your martial energy."Candace sneered. "Ha! I knew you were a joke. Dr. Zeller could tell with just one look that I only had a few days to live. You can't compare to him! Hurry up and bring Dr. Zeller to treat me!"Craig, who had been crouching, stood up in fury."Fine! Let's see how capable this Dr. Zeller of yours really is. You said he's better than me? Warlord of Thunder, go bring him back this instance."In fact, Craig had already thought it through. He didn't have much confidence in treating Candace. If her martial energy activated during treatment, he would be the one responsible for her death, destroying his hard-earned reputation.But with Felix as a scapegoat, he could easily shift the blame onto him.The Warlord of Thunder was astonished.Craig was one of the best physicians in Dragonia. Aside fr

Xena wanted to speak up for Felix, but she realized it would be futile, considering even the Warlord of Thunder didn't dare to say a word. Not only would her efforts be meaningless, but she might also end up offending Craig.Suddenly, Felix turned to Craig and said, "Fine! I'll treat her in front of all of you. But if I succeed, you must bow and apologize to me."Craig gritted his teeth. "What did you just say? Even your mentor has to show respect to me. How dare a young brat like you try to humiliate me?"Felix sneered. "If you don't agree to it, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber, as a master healer, will have no trouble curing Caden. Why would I make a fool of myself?" "If you won't agree, I'll take my leave now. I'm sure someone of your caliber—a master healer—can handle curing Candace without any problem. Why should I embarrass myself?"Seeing Felix actually turning to leave, Xena chose to let him be. She knew it would be uself to try to make him stay. On
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 711
At this moment, Xena and the Warlord of Thunder knew the symptoms all too well. After all, they had witnessed it happening before when Candace's martial energy went haywire. Did this mean that not only had Felix failed, but Candace was also going to die? If the situation weren't so dire, Craig would have burst out laughing. "You fool! When Candace's martial energy starts activating like this, not even the gods can save her. Those seven needles weren't meant to heal; they would just accelerate her condition. You clearly have bad intentions!" Beside him, Marine Asura's expression darkened too. Everyone knew how important Candace was, and he felt partially responsible for this situation. "Who said I failed?" Felix remained calm as he threw the question back at Craig. "How dare you argue with me? I've examined Candace's condition myself. Another surge of martial energy will kill her! Don't think you can dodge responsibility with empty words!" As he spoke, Craig thrust an accusi
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 712
Craig chose to ignore those comments. Until Candace revealed her information, no one could touch her. "Well, well, are you trying to weasel your way out of this?" Candace questioned."Weasel my way out?" Craig glanced at Felix with coldness and disdain. "I was practicing medicine before you were even born. If it weren't for your dumb luck today, you wouldn't even deserve to speak to me. Let's go, and bring Candace along!" Xena could only shake her head apologetically at Felix as she followed Craig toward the exit. But then Felix's voice rang out, "This is the Seven Points of Transcendence! It harnesses the essence of all things. While I won't claim it can raise the dead, it comes pretty close. "The final step requires all seven needles to merge into one before injecting the extracted essence back into the patient. Only then is the technique complete. Are you trying to take my patient away before I've even finished the treatment?" Everyone froze in their tracks. Candace was t

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 976
It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 974
"You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn't get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that's for you youngins to decide. We won't care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real. "I've lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let's allow Felix to try." The smile on Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore. Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

"Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor
