An invincible force suddenly surrounded the guards. They paled as their bodies became immobile, as though bound by invisible chains.Fortunately for them, Selmer didn't want to kill them. Otherwise, they would have died by now.Within seconds, five figures appeared at the gate. Judging by their auras, all five were masters of the Blood Realm, a proof of Skyward Guild's might."What is the meaning of this?" a middle-aged man asked.Selmer smiled. "I've come to deliver a message on behalf of my master. And you are?"The middle-aged man's expression shifted after hearing that. It had been years since anyone dared to address Skyward Guild in this manner."I am Stamford of Skyward Guild," he replied.Selmer nodded. "Mr. Zeller was the one who hurt Thomas. This phone contains evidence of him kidnapping a high school girl and attempting to assault her. If Skyward Guild chooses to shield him, Mr. Zeller will prepare to fight."He tossed the phone to Stamford and left, leaving Skyward G

In Gray City, just as Tranquil Clinic was about to close, a man walked in."Sir, you're not here to see a doctor, are you?" Felix asked, looking at the man as he entered."I'm Stamford Walter, the seventh elder of Skyward Guild. We've received the message you sent."With a slight lift of his right hand, Felix said, "You received it and still sent someone here. It seems like the guild isn't what I thought it was."Stamford got straight to the point. "Thomas died, but he deserved it! However, you've also injured someone of our own—Patrick."The sect leader has ordered that if you heal Patrick, everything will be as if it never happened."In Stamford's eyes, there was no way Felix would refuse. No one wanted to provoke the top guild in Dragonia over this.However, Felix shook his head. "Perhaps you think this is simple—or are you purposefully ignoring the details? Patrick assisted Thomas in his arrogance and recklessness. If he didn't, do you think that many tragedies would've happ

"You—" The middle-aged man was utterly speechless. Felix was so young, yet the middle-aged man—a Pulse Realm martial artist—couldn't even take one of Felix's hits."You're truly a genius. And a quite low-profile one at that!" With that, the middle-aged man held his chest and turned to leave. Felix frowned. "You came all the way here, yet you're leaving already?"Although the middle-aged man knew he was outmatched, he showed no fear."Heh! Why? Are you still trying to kill me? The sun hasn't even set yet, and it's still broad daylight. I'd like to see you try."Felix spread his hands and smiled. "I'm just kidding! Don't get so worked up. I'm a good citizen. How could I kill you?"With a cold snort, the middle-aged man strode away.…Just as Felix returned home, Selmer called. "Mr. Zeller, it's all settled. The Greenes sent that man just to test your strength!"The Greenes? Felix hung up without another word. It seemed like Xena disrupting their plans had really pushed them int

After arriving back in Gray City, Felix received a phone call from Xena, and he left for the hotel suite."Someone from headquarters sent this. He'll evaluate the effectiveness of your disguise," Zena said.She had brought along an old man with her. He seemed to be a smoking addict—besides the clear cigarette in his hand, the whole room had a strong smell of smoke.Felix nodded. "Alright, I'll go get ready." Since Felix was using a Shadow Mask, he couldn't publicly show him using it. When he came out of the room, he had completely transformed into another young man.When the old man finished his cigarette, he circled around Felix several times. A smile grew on his face as he exclaimed, "This is great! This is the only disguise I can't see through!"Xena was also extremely happy. After all, Felix was under her, and this could be considered her achievement."I'll be heading back to headquarters now, and the results will be shown tomorrow," the old man said.After the old man lef

After returning to Dragonia, Felix and Selmer had a long discussion. Although there weren't many secrets about them, Felix learned some insignificant things about the Elders' Council.For example, there were only seven true elders in the Elders' Council. Six of them were normal elders, and one was a Supreme Elder.Selmer had only seen one, and that was Gage Shepherd, who was sitting in front of Felix at this moment. For him to be an elder in the Elders' Council, no one could fathom how terrifying his true strength was.To be honest, Felix hadn't expected Gage to show up like this. Gage smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm Gage Shepherd. But you don't have to worry. I'm just here to see a doctor."Was he really seeking out a doctor? Selmer trembled slightly. He had seen Gage's full strength once. If Gage decided to take action, no one here could survive.However, the key question was why the Elders' Council sent someone like Gage over. Were they not worried that Eloise would retaliate?
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 835
All of a sudden, a small object appeared on the table, as if Gage had suddenly conjured it form nowhere.This little object made Felix's eyes brighten up, and he was extremely excited. "This is it!"Gage nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's an alchemy furnace."It really was an alchemy furnace! Felix started breathing heavily at the sight.. "An alchemy furnace is a magic weapon. After dripping your blood on it, it'll recognize you as its master and unfold into a bigger object. Of course, given our hostile relationship, you wouldn't trust me."You can have it recognize you as its master first and then treat me."The alchemy furnace that Felix had wished for appeared just like this. He felt like he was dreaming. He had read and reread the book Gerald had given him to the point of being obsessed.He wanted to try it out as soon as possible. And since Gage had said so, why was Felix still hesitating?He took it and dripped his blood on it. It merged into his body, and when it came out

The herbs Felix needed for alchemic refining weren't only needed in a high quantity but also extremely rare. If Felix used his connections to source them, it would take a long time.In the end, he consulted Silas, who then introduced him to Qualls Pharmaceutical."I hadn't expected you to come here personally, Ms. Qualls. I'm flattered," Felix said.Yasmin's manners were impeccable, and the way she spoke was pleasant. "Dr. Zeller, it's my honor to be of use to a genius doctor like you."Felix nodded and took out a file before handing it over. "All the herbs I need are listed here. You can take a look first, Ms. Qualls. If you have any issues, you can tell me and we'll work out the kinks together."Yasmin nodded. "Alright, please wait a minute." Half an hour passed before Yasmin finally finished reading them all."Most of the herbs are doable. We have enough reserves to supply you. There are only a dozen of extremely rare ones, but I can also guarantee the delivery within a mont

Felix looked at Xena speechlessly for a moment. Why was she becoming more and more irrational? Why didn't she tell him earlier if she didn't want him to go?Why did she tell him at this moment?"The headquarters had already issued an order. Why are you telling me to back out now?" he questioned.Xena also knew it was a bit too late to say anything, but she couldn't help herself. "Fine, then let's get back to the point. Three months ago, something strange happened in Seapoint. The residents of the town began sleeping during the day and only waking at night."Their sleep cycles were reversed? Felix clicked his tongue inwardly. This was truly the first time he had heard of such a thing."Why does it sound like they're vampires? But isn't that a fictional thing?" Felix remarked.Xena glared at Felix, signaling for him to take this more seriously. She continued, "The point is, the people in town are completely normal. There's nothing strange besides their sleep cycles. "We've sent p

The existence of crossbreeds was classified as top secret by headquarters. If word got out, even if the general public remained unaware, just the knowledge reaching certain members within headquarters would cause mass panic.Would you dare to question whether your partner might be a Malevolent Phantom? Would you risk wondering if your child inherited some of its traits and became a crossbreed? No one wanted to shoulder that responsibility.Take Johann and his team, for example. They had absolutely no knowledge of crossbreeds, and their resistance right now stemmed entirely from their own moral convictions."Sir!"Johann didn't dare stop Felix outright, but he raised his voice to make his stance clear. The others followed suit, not to mention Lina, who was still sobbing uncontrollably, and Steve, whose eyes were red with fury as he glared at Felix without a hint of fear."Mr. Zeller! If you're really going to take my grandson, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"Tears st
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1356
"So what?" Lina asked. "Even if I lied, what does that person's death have to do with my son?"Felix suddenly roared, "Are you telling me that when you opened the door, your son never left your sight for even a second?""I—"Lina opened her mouth but suddenly found herself at a loss for words. That instinctive hesitation was the most telling of all."Get the car ready. Take her with us. We're going to Lina's house.""Yes, sir!"The convoy arrived at a luxurious mansion in Zuera. The moment Felix and his team rushed inside, they saw Steve sitting in the living room, holding a three-year-old boy in his arms."Mr. Zeller, why are all of you here?"Lina, restrained by Felix's men, screamed in a frenzy, "Dad! Save Leonardo! They're trying to take him away!"Then, she turned to Felix, shouting in fury, "You monsters! He's just three years old, and you suspect him of murder? I'll expose you! I'll take you to court!"By the time she finished, she was sobbing uncontrollably."Mr. Zel
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1355
Even though Lina knew Felix held an unimaginably high status—so high that even Steve feared him—his continued questioning and the direction of his suspicions pushed her to the edge. The mere idea that her son might be involved sent her into a silent rage.She was a mother, and when it came to her child, she did not care who the hell the other person was."I'm just asking questions," Felix said flatly. "Just answer them. Don't make me start quoting laws and rights to get you to cooperate."His voice was so calm. For a moment, Lina wondered if she had overreacted, so she took a breath and continued.She explained, "He wasn't in the stall. It's way too small in there. I left the door cracked open so he could see me, and since I had the tether on, plus the nanny and driver waiting outside, I wasn't worried about him wandering off."Felix did not say anything right away. He stood there, clearly deep in thought.Silvercrest Restaurant might have been an upscale dining place, but it was
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1354
"Can you cooperate now?" Felix asked calmly.Lina snapped back to her senses, her face burning with embarrassment. "I'm sorry," she said quickly. "I'll fully cooperate from now on."Sure enough, seeing the richest man's daughter completely fold made the rest of the group abandon any rebellious thoughts. Whatever frustration they had been feeling vanished instantly.Once they were settled, Felix began examining them closely. This was not just a casual observation. He activated his Spirit Eye, a skill from the Phaeron Codex that allowed him to see into a person's soul.After reaching Higher Spirit Realm, Felix had gained access to this ability, but he had never actually used it to inspect a Malevolent Phantom before. Still, he was sure of one thing—their souls would look nothing like normal humans'.So, checking with Spirit Sight was a far more reliable method than looking at whether someone's wounds were healing.When Felix finished scanning all nine people, he froze, completely s

A few minutes later, Felix stepped into the restroom that had been sealed off. It was a fully enclosed space, with no windows—just a single ventilation fan. That meant there was only one entrance and exit.He examined the body sitting upright on the toilet in one of the stalls. The man's head was resting gently against the tiled wall. His pants were already pulled back up and fastened, clearly indicating he had finished using the restroom. More importantly, it was obvious no one had touched or tampered with the body.Felix commented, "No need to call in forensics. There are no external wounds, and his internal organs are completely intact. We can also rule out heart failure or brain hemorrhages. This wasn't caused by any natural condition."With his medical background, it only took Felix a glance to determine the truth.Johann replied, "Yes, sir. But then… what now? Should we interrogate those nine people?"The closer they got to confirming Malevolent Phantoms were involved, the

Felix said, "Go ahead, Delilah. Zara's in your hands now—take care of her on the road.""Don't worry," Delilah replied.Once Zara was gone, Felix stood there for a moment, feeling a weight settle over his chest. She had already been through so much just surviving the ordeal of Twinshade Body, and he had promised himself—without saying a word—that he would make sure she never suffered like that again.However, no one could have predicted the sudden arrival of the Malevolent Phantoms. That was a nightmare nobody could escape, and only by ending it would they have the right to even dream of a peaceful life.…That evening, as the sun dipped low on the horizon, Felix was having dinner with Luna at a quiet restaurant, and Paul had joined them, too."Thank you, Mr. Zeller. Holden is awake and doing surprisingly well," Paul said, raising his glass.He was genuinely grateful. Even the doctors had called it a miracle. Holden had a severed artery and was transported across a long distance

"Mr. Hoffman?" Felix muttered. No wonder Delilah had shown up in person."Why didn't Mr. Hoffman just call me?" he asked.Delilah shrugged, raising both hands. "Because it's not convenient. If you make one choice, I can report back and be done with it, saving everyone the time."Felix nodded, finally curious about this big choice. Then, Delilah asked, "Zara, the one with Twinshade Body, came to see you, didn't she?"That caught Felix off guard. "How do you know about that?"Delilah rolled her eyes with a little smirk. If one of her fans saw her like this, they would probably faint from the shock.She explained, "It's not like I'm psychic. Mr. Hoffman told me. Ever since you left Martial City and came back, he's had Ophelia keeping an eye on Zara the whole time, so of course he knows."Ophelia? That explained why he had not seen her around since coming back. "So, what's the choice Mr. Hoffman wants me to make? Is it really about Zara?"Delilah nodded firmly. "Exactly. Mr. Hoff

Donna said, "Felix, Specter's the kind of guy who'll stop at nothing. I'll hold back and observe for now, but if you really prove you've got what it takes, I'll act like I never even saw that woman."…Later, Zara was resting her chin in both palms with a sweet, innocent smile on her face. She hummed, "Mhm!"Felix let out a groan and rubbed his face. "Don't just say 'mhm'! Did you even understand what I just told you?"After piecing together everything Donna had said, Felix laid it all out for Zara. Since Specter could strike at any time and Zara still did not know what Malevolent Phantoms even were, he figured she needed to hear it all."Of course I understood. Relax, honey. I'm not stupid," Zara replied casually. Since she got it, Felix finally let himself relax, too. A weight lifted off his chest, and for the first time in a while, he really looked at Zara's flawless face. He thought, "Yeah—there's no way I can hold back anymore."He said, "Let's take care of something… imp
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1349
Felix finally snapped out of it. Just moments ago, Donna had looked so grim, claiming something big was about to happen. Yet now, after her whole speech, it was all about the benefits of Zara being a Hollow Soul.Donna said, "Hollow Soul has a unique trait. If consumed, it can greatly boost your chances of success.""Consumed?" That one word made Felix's face darken instantly. "Success in what exactly?"Donna had tried to be vague, but there was no way Felix did not get the implication. To put it bluntly, she was talking about eating Zara's soul."Whether you're stuck at a plateau in your cultivation, your soul is mutating, or you're trying to master powerful soul-based techniques—offensive or defensive—if it's soul-related, Hollow Soul can drastically increase your chances of success."Felix's expression shifted as something came rushing back to him. Billy had once told him that when the Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed enough soul essence to reach capacity, it could be used to re
