"Fire Dragon!" Huge flames appeared above Felix out of nowhere. After a spin, the flames headed toward Oliver, who was in midair.The flames collided with the Cross Slayer mid-way. They diminished quickly. As both moves collided, Felix didn't dare to pause at all because the attacks of Luca, Charles, and the others had reached the point where he didn't have the chance to catch his breath."Dancing Dragon!" The Dancing Dragon was deployed again. It cut off the sudden attack. The movement was so smooth that it couldn't be compared to the previous one. When there was an empty spot, Oliver entered through the only ball of flame and hit Felix on the chest. Felix spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled a few steps back."Help me put out the fire! He has already used all his strength. He is no longer a threat!"When Luca and the others were about to kill Felix when the latter was weak, they were summoned by Oliver.Felix stood in the same spot and didn't dare to move because his en
"Who's there?" The sudden scene halted Charles' movements."This sword…" Only Oliver was staring at the sword as his eyes widened. "It's the Duo Moon Sword. Could it be Sword Goddess?"Sword Goddess? Even Charles' expression changed. He took a sharp breath. Sword Goddess was considered a legend. There was a year when Sword Goddess traveled to various parts of Dragonia with her sword. Whenever she encountered injustice, she would take action, resolving it with just one move. To this day, no one had ever been worthy enough to see her second move."We should go!" When Oliver returned to his senses, he quickly reminded everyone to leave. He didn't dare to stay there any longer."Can we really escape?" Luca's legs couldn't move. He was frightened. A martial arts master in the early stage of Blood Realm was frightened to this extent. No one would have believed it if news spread."Calm down! If Sword Goddess wanted to kill us, we would have been dead long ago. She's letting us leave."
Because the gap between the members of the Jacobs family's strength and Felix's was huge, it was impossible for them to escape. They were all beaten up by him, without leaving behind a single corpse. Only by killing these members of the Jacobs family could there no longer be any continuation.When Felix entered the house, he lay on the bed. He didn't think that he was exposed by Vanessa or her family. With the Jacobs family's and Elders' Council's capability of finding information, learning about it was easy. Besides, everyone's gazes and expressions were normal during the wedding. He couldn't be bothered to look into it more.At this time, Felix received a call from Xena. "Xena.""Don't call me like that. I hope you always remember that! Giving you a call means nothing. You just need to listen. After I finish speaking, I'll block you again."Felix's mood wasn't affected much. After experiencing such a difficult battle, he felt neutral. He only needed to try his best to make up f
When Queenie accidentally touched the Hexbloom, Felix had to treat her immediately, leaving her in nothing but underwear due to the unusual circumstances. In that vulnerable state, he could not help but notice every detail of her body, including places he should not have seen. On Queenie's back, near her right shoulder, there was an intriguing tattoo that initially appeared to be a cobra's head but also resembled a skull upon closer inspection. The design was particularly striking with its red-inked edges, and Felix could not help but recall seeing it somewhere before."You've really seen it before?" Felix found himself in an unexpected situation and could only trust Billy's judgment."Yes, I have. What's the connection?" Billy pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's an ancient totem from Southern Xilona that somehow made its way into mainstream tattoo shops, and many customers choose it for themselves."Felix furrowed his brows. "Wouldn't that mean many people would experi
"Don't even mention it. Usually, this amount of alcohol wouldn't be an issue, but I barely slept last night," Jack groaned.Felix found it amusing since people typically slept better when drunk, which was unusual. "Having those kinds of dreams?" he teased, feeling relaxed around Jack, especially since Melissa was helping Vanessa in the kitchen.Jack shot Felix a look before turning serious. "It's strange. Last night felt like a dream but also seemed real. You probably won't believe this, but I kept hearing cries. "Sometimes, it sounded like children, other times like women, leaving me in this dreamlike state all night. Meanwhile, Nessa didn't stir once all night. When I asked her this morning, she said she hadn't heard anything."Felix's expression changed instantly, realizing Billy's warning was already coming true. Given Jack's close connection to him, the karmic tie was probably strongest, making him the first to experience the effects. While it was not surprising, its speed
Yvonne appeared equally surprised to see Felix standing at the gate."Have a safe trip, Ms. Cooper!" Queenie called from behind, her tone and expression revealing more than her words.Felix's instinctive greeting died in his throat as Yvonne maintained her distance, aware that their connection had ended. She had only exchanged pleasantries at the wedding due to the crowd, knowing where to draw the line.After a moment's hesitation, Felix broke the silence. "Yvonne, what brings you here?""Just some business matters to discuss with Queenie," Yvonne replied hastily, clearly caught off guard.Queenie looked between them with surprise. "You two know each other?""She was a former patient of mine," Felix explained with a smile."Oh! What a small world!" Through their brief conversation, Felix learned that Queenie had recently been transferred to be the regional CEO of Stellar Group. After Yvonne left, Felix handed Queenie the local specialties he had brought, having initiated the
"You bitch! How dare you splash me? Do you know who I am?" Edwin snarled.Just in time, Felix grabbed Edwin's wrist and pushed him back, causing him to stumble until his friends caught him. Though Felix had not planned on playing hero, he had never felt more compelled to act."Get lost!" he warned."You're both dead! Neither of you is walking out of here in one piece!" Edwin threatened as he pulled out a switchblade, and his friends quickly surrounded Felix."I'm calling the police!" Queenie warned, frightened as she pulled out her phone.Edwin sneered, "Call them, and I'll slice up that pretty face of yours."Felix calmly guided Queenie back to her seat before calling out to someone behind the thugs. "Handle this.""Mr. Zeller!" Multiple voices rang out in unison, startling Edwin and his men. They spun around to find over a dozen intimidating men standing behind them, far more threatening than any street thugs."M-Mr. Gray!" Edwin stammered, recognizing the leader. He could
Felix instantly recognized the voice—it was Delilah, also known as Dreamscape. After promising Billy, he contacted Seven from Flair to relay a message through Averill, though he had not expected such a quick response.Felix was grateful to Averill for allowing Seven to exist as a connection to his senior apprentices. Perhaps it was also Gerald's way of acknowledging that Felix would not abuse such relationships."Who's that? Felix, i-is someone else in your house?" Queenie asked fearfully, hiding behind him in a natural response to the unexpected voice.Delilah emerged wearing the mask she always wore in public. Felix quickly explained, "Don't be afraid. She's my senior apprentice."Queenie gathered her courage to look and gasped. "A-Aren't you Dreamscape?"Dreamscape was incredibly famous, and almost everyone knew about her. Moreover, her mask was so iconic that no one dared to copy it, knowing her fans would destroy any impostors. Felix shot Delilah an annoyed look before tu
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
