"If you're so worried, let's find comfort in bed. Just give in already, Felix." Even at this point, Averill had not given up her real reason for visiting and was still trying every trick in her book. Just then, the doorbell rang. Felix, already looking for an escape from Averill's advances, rushed to answer. Seeing it was his neighbor Queenie, he was beyond relieved. Talk about perfect timing!"Queenie, I'll get the door right away!" He turned to Averill. "It might be something urgent from my neighbor. Let's catch up another time." Averill rolled her eyes and vanished. She knew Felix well enough. She'd almost had him, but the moment was gone now that they had been interrupted. There was no point in staying. When Queenie entered, her face was flushed pink, like a ripe apple. "What's wrong?" Felix had already guessed, but it was not something easy to bring up. "I don't feel well. I think I have a fever. My whole body's burning up. I was going to the hospital, but I saw your li
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 725
For Felix, the treatment itself was not an issue. The question was whether Queenie could accept it. "I can treat you, but you might not agree with the method." Queenie grew anxious. "This is life or death! You're the doctor, and I'm the patient. What's there to disagree about? Just tell me!" Felix had no choice but to explain everything. "When I checked your pulse, I detected 65 infection sites on your body. I can use acupuncture now to stop them from spreading so that no new spots will appear. But those spots need to be treated individually by hand with my needles. "Otherwise, you'll be left with permanent red marks on your skin, and there could be other health impacts." What? Queenie was stunned. There were 65 spots already! Now, she understood Felix's awkwardness. "So you're saying that regardless of where these spots are, you'll need to see them all to treat them one by one, right?"Felix nodded. "Yes. Or I can contain the infection's growth, and you can try the hospital

Queenie's examination showed she wasn't a martial artist—just an ordinary person. With that confirmed, any lingering doubts were dispelled. After Hexbloom bloomed, it attracted not only ordinary people but also some martial artists, compelling them to touch it subconsciously. It was all so natural that it didn't warrant much suspicion.…The next morning at the clinic, Melissa's mood had visibly brightened, and she was dressed to impress. As long as her attire wasn't overly provocative, Felix had no issue with her choice of clothing."Boss, I had this faint chest pain last night. Shouldn't you take a closer look?" Melissa teased.Without even looking up, Felix replied, "You're fine. Besides, you didn't seem like the kind of woman who would flirt the first time we met."Melissa pouted. "Well, what can I say? You're so amazing. If something goes wrong, I've got no one to rely on. Honestly, I've been thinking of finding myself a solid backing."Felix handed her his mug. "Pour me s

"Felix…" Melissa appeared, her face full of reluctance."Go on. Be good," Felix said.Seeing Billy's smug expression, Melissa huffed and went to make him a cup of coffee. When she returned and handed it to him, Billy brought the cup to his lips, only to pause mid-sip. His lips twitched in disbelief."Girl, does your clinic have an unlimited supply of coffee grounds or something?" he asked, staring at the cup packed so full that it was practically sludge.No sane person would brew coffee like this."Oh, well," Billy said with a shrug, "at least it's made by a pretty lady—still smells nice from her touch."Taking a small sip, Billy finally got to the point. "The highlight of the auction is a very peculiar bone."Felix's eyes flickered for a moment before he smirked. "Are you trying to say that I'm a dog? A bone is supposed to interest me? What a waste of my coffee."Billy chuckled, lowering his voice. "Oh, really? I don't buy it. Someone practicing the Dragons Destroyer technique

"Three years ago, I finally woke up and quit gambling," Darren said, his tone sincere. "The buyer I mentioned, the one offering a billion dollars, was real. But I didn't dare sell it. I was afraid I'd fall back into gambling if I had that kind of money. "And honestly, I feel like I'd be letting my father down."Felix understood now. That buyer must have been tipped off by Derek, who ensured no one would use force against Darren or spread the word. Otherwise, an ordinary man like Darren would've been in serious trouble long ago.It was clear Isabella was hearing this story for the first time as well."Belle," Darren continued, "this is why I'm willing to entrust this million dollars entirely to you. All I need is a monthly allowance for living expenses. No matter how persuasive I might sound, if my gambling addiction resurfaces, at least you'll be there to keep me in check."Isabella was genuinely moved. After all, there weren't many men like him who would hand over such a fortune

Snapping back to his senses, Felix quickly picked up his phone. He was relieved to find it undamaged. Alistair's voice was still on the line."Alistair, I'm here. Go on," Felix said."Mr. Zeller, since you're considered one of the involved parties and also a master healer, Lady Summers has granted you special permission to access the site."Involved party? Special permission? Felix suddenly realized something."Do you suspect it's Skybound Revenant? But that doesn't make sense. Didn't Candace confess? Didn't you handle it?"Alistair's response brought Felix a small measure of relief."When we arrived, there were no signs of Necrobound at the place. Either they got word and relocated beforehand, or the Elder Revenant evolved into a Skybound Revenant earlier than expected.""Understood. I'm heading over now."Whether or not Zara was involved, Felix knew he had to act. If this escalated into a city outbreak, the death toll would be unimaginable.Driving to the village Alistair me

After hearing Alistair's explanation, an image suddenly flashed in Felix's mind."Hold on. I might know an expert in this field. The question is whether he'll agree to help."When Felix glanced at Xena, she immediately understood and, after a brief hesitation, nodded. With dozens already dead, they couldn't afford to delay any longer—who knew how many more lives might be lost?"Fine. Ask him. If he can genuinely help, there will definitely be a reward," Xena assured him.But before making the call, Felix had another question. "What about those elite experts you mentioned earlier? Haven't they been deployed?"Xena sighed. "They've been deployed to key cities. Each one can monitor multiple locations and immediately detect a Skybound Revenant if it appears. The problem is, these revenants might possess intelligence, allowing them to sense danger."They could deliberately target remote, impoverished areas or deep wilderness regions. But those are still living, breathing citizens of D

"Come out and face me if you dare. Otherwise, stop barking like a dog!" Felix snapped.The voice vanished. Felix quickly asked, "Can you tell me what sect Candace exposed?"Alistair remained silent, unwilling to speak. Xena hesitated for a while before using voice transmission to say, "It's Abyssal Surge Sect. But you must keep this to yourself."She chose to confide in Felix because she had absolute trust in him.Felix thought, "Abyssal Surge Sect—the second of the top super sects. Those bastards really have some nerve."He then asked, "So, with no actual evidence, I take it Abyssal Surge Sect is untouched?"Xena sighed in frustration. "Yes. We can't act on Candace's testimony alone. Even if they were a minor sect, we'd still need evidence before taking any steps."Felix sneered. It made sense now why someone would risk reaching out to him via voice transmission, trying to pressure him into fabricating evidence. They knew there was no proof.Even if he told Xena about the

Even Laura, who was gravely injured, was stunned. She could not believe what she was hearing—a so-called "ordinary person" was actually bold enough to talk to a martial artist so audaciously. In Martial City, such arrogance could only cause him his death.What baffled her more was that Felix seemed completely unfazed, despite the earlier attack creating a massive crater over 30 feet wide. If even she found it terrifying, Bobby's expression at the moment was beyond strange.Bobby sneered. "You must really have no idea how big the world is. You're the first ordinary person to speak to me this way. Don't worry. I won't let you die too quickly. First, I'll crush every bone in your body, then I'll take your head and use it as a soccer ball. How does that sound?"Felix shook his head and sighed. "Not very appealing, honestly."With a casual gesture, he raised his right hand and pointed a single finger. Bobby froze mid-smirk, his expression locked in place as a bloody hole appeared in t

Felix did not dare to sprint recklessly, knowing that if he caught the attention of a true powerhouse, things could spiral out of control. In Martial City, he had to tread carefully. Xena had warned him that while killing was forbidden within city limits, anything outside was fair game, and no one would care."The spiritual energy here is so dense—it's worth the trip," Felix muttered, marveling at the environment.Back in the capital, his current level left him with no clear path forward unless he obtained a Dragonspine, which was nearly impossible. Absorbing spiritual energy there was futile due to its scarcity—it would take years to make any progress.Although Gerald's medical book mentioned pills as a way to advance, the higher the grade, the rarer the ingredients. For instance, after the martial arts competition, Felix contacted Yasmin to refine a pill, but three key ingredients no longer existed. Despite years of searching, even Qualls Pharmaceutical had not found a trace o

For Felix, someone at the Pulse Realm level was as insignificant as a bug—he could crush them effortlessly. However, since he had just arrived in Martial City and knew very little about the place, acting rashly could lead to unpredictable consequences. If someone stronger lurked in the shadows, failing so soon after arriving would be a disaster. Felix glanced at the corpse of the old woman and quickly came up with a plan.Within a minute, a group of dozens rushed into the cave, their faces shifting to surprise at the sight of so many bodies and all the blood. One of them muttered, "They're all dead?" Leading the group was a young woman who appeared to be in her 20s. She had striking features and a graceful demeanor. She wore a white dress, and her sharp, intelligent eyes scanned the scene."Miss, what's going on here?" one of the subordinates asked cautiously.The woman frowned and examined the area before noticing Felix huddling in a corner. He was crouched with his hands over

According to Billy, one's energy signature would essentially be an extension of their soul's frequency. While he could mask it temporarily, it would only last for about a year—making it permanent was simply impossible."Felix, come with me. I'll make sure to repay you properly. Trust me. I have the means, so don't turn me down," the old man insisted.Feigning hesitation, Felix eventually agreed and got into the Audi A4. As the car moved, the two of them chatted casually, though Felix remained cautious."Where are we headed, sir?" Felix asked when the car began to slow down. He noticed, with some surprise, that they were entering a massive cave."This is my summer retreat. It's normal to be curious if it's your first time seeing it," the old man replied with a smile.Felix simply nodded and said, "Oh."The car came to a stop inside, and Felix followed the old man out. To his surprise, a group of more than a dozen people was waiting there. At the center, an elderly woman sat in a c

Even if the old man did not ask for Felix's help, he would definitely lend a helping hand. After all, Felix was never the type to just stand by and watch, whether it was his nature or what Gerald had taught him. Since he encountered the situation, there was no way he could ignore it. Besides, it was clear the old man was having a heart attack, and the little bottle he clutched likely contained some kind of fast-acting medication. Felix quickly ran over, opened the bottle, and handed it to the old man, who immediately took three pills. In less than a minute, the man looked as if nothing had happened."Thank you so much," he said.Felix smiled and replied, "No need to thank me. It's just the right thing to do."As Felix turned to leave, the old man grabbed his arm urgently. "You're really a good person. Doing something so kind without even leaving your name? But I can't just let you go without repaying your kindness—wait a moment." With that, he pulled out his phone and made a q

"Felix, don't worry! You're on an official mission to Martial City. That scoundrel is an unexpected problem, but I'll ensure your safety," the Protector reassured Felix as he handed Felix two tokens.The Protector explained, "The red token is essential for entering and leaving Martial City. Without it, no one can safely pass through the barriers. Each token only works once before turning to dust, so guard it carefully. They're extremely rare and valuable, even within Martial City." Felix nodded in understanding as he accepted the tokens, but his attention was drawn to the yellow one. It was round and slightly mysterious."The yellow token wasn't something I originally planned to give you," the Protector continued. "It's not ideal for your growth, but given what just happened, I want to ensure your safety above all else.""If that old man from the Elders' Council comes after you again, don't hesitate to crush this token. Someone will come to your aid immediately."Felix was unsure

"Wait over there. They won't dare touch you," Felix told Xena while maintaining a calm expression as he faced the six Council Elders.In the past, he might have been less confident against these formidable opponents. Each of them was strong enough to challenge those above their level, which was precisely why they had earned their positions as Council Elders.Having dealt with Gage before, Felix knew his cunning and temperament were terrifying. All that made him an exceptionally dangerous adversary."Felix, are you sure about this?" Xena asked worriedly, wondering how the Elders' Council dared to act so boldly and who this Grand Elder was that could hold off the Protector."Just go," Felix replied, his tone firm.Gage took a step forward, his expression cold. "I know you're keeping your cool because you have the Lone Paragon on your side, but relying on something like that won't change your fate." Felix smirked. "Skip the speech. You chose this location because you plan to hide i

"Let's go," Xena said.After getting off the plane, Felix got into a car with Xena behind the wheel. She was driving herself, with no one else accompanying them."In the backpack, you'll find everything you need for Martial City. I'll explain each item as you take them out," she said.Felix grabbed the backpack from the back seat and opened it, finding only a few items inside.Xena explained, "This phone only works in Martial City. Due to the barriers, it can't connect to satellites, but it works perfectly within the city. It's unregistered too, so you don't need to worry about being tracked."The device was more of a chunky block than a modern phone. It had an archaic feel and a tiny screen that did not support video calls or other advanced features."What's this card?" Felix asked as he pulled out another item—a card that looked like an emerald-green bank card. The only difference was that it appeared to be made of emerald, with elegant swirls of pale green throughout."That's

Felix felt a chill ran down his spine when Billy said he was haunted."A master practitioner has cursed you," Billy explained between bites. "They're so skilled that I couldn't even sense it when you first walked in."Felix checked himself but felt nothing unusual. "I feel fine, though. What kind of curse are we talking about?"Instead of answering right away, Billy casually continued eating. "There are many types of curses, both in Dragonia and abroad. From what I can tell, this is the work of a foreign expert."He paused to take another bite, then added, "These masters are especially dangerous. All they need is something you keep close to you, and they can attack you remotely. From the looks of it, they've already started." Felix jumped up in alarm. "Stop joking around! I don't feel anything, and the Dragonspine isn't even reacting!"Billy smirked. "That's because your soul is unusually strong. What's strange, though, is how much it's grown in such a short time. I mean, the th
