The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 885
Upon seeing Billy's astonished expression, Felix was stunned. He hadn't expected Billy to notice something unusual.Ever since getting to know Billy, Felix had come to trust him despite his air of mystery. With all the skills Billy possessed, if he wanted to harm Felix, he could have done so long ago. There was no need to wait.After some pondering, Felix decided to let Billy take a look while framing it as a joke. If Billy noticed something, they could discuss it. If not, it would just be a fleeting joke."What's wrong? Is there something different about my soul?" Felix pressed.Billy widened his eyes and rubbed his chin. "What the heck did you get into this time? I don't know exactly what's in your soul, but as far as souls go, it's..."After a long pause, Billy still hadn't said another word. Felix grew impatient. "Well? Is it good or bad?""Good! It's a blessing! Whatever this thing is, it nourishes the soul, enhances the power, and has countless benefits." Billy rubbed his

Felix chuckled. "You're a grown man, yet you're still hung up on things like this! Not just anyone can be my follower. Sure, some might see you as cowardly or disloyal, but I've always believed people can change. So stop worrying about how others see you, and even more so about how I do."Felix tossed a pill over. "This is a new formula I developed. It's designed to boost the strength of those who mastered Blood Realm. Give it a try.""What?" Selmer quickly caught the pill. It turned out Felix hadn't forgotten about him after all. "Thank you, Mr. Zeller! Thank you!"In truth, Felix had created this pill a while ago. However, he wasn't sure of its effects or whether it might even be harmful. So he hadn't dared to let Selmer use it. However, after the success of the Windseeker Pill during his mission in Guneria, Felix was confident that the medical text's descriptions were accurate.Even the most basic pills from the text could enhance the strength of warriors who were already consid

Felix was taken aback by the question. "Decide what?"Nala was nervous and didn't know how Felix would respond. While terrified of hearing the answer, she couldn't help but hope for clarity.Xena also felt conflicted. For the first time, she felt uncertain and doubted her charm, which was rare for her. It was a moment of vulnerability, a decision every woman dreads."You can choose to stay here at the clinic or come with me. I have something important to discuss with you," Xena said, surprising herself with how much her tone had shifted.She intended to confront Felix, but her tone softened, catching her off guard. Why was she suddenly uncertain about her feelings for a man who had fought hard to win her back?"I'll come with you," Felix replied without hesitation.If Xena was asking, it was likely related to a mission, so Felix didn't dwell on what Nala might think. He followed Xena without a second thought.Once they had left, Melissa asked, "Nala, why are you smiling?"Nala

Felix nodded—that was precisely what he was thinking."It's because headquarters got approval to offer the ultimate prize to the champion," Xena said mysteriously.She leaned forward and whispered, "It's Lone Paragon."Xena thought Felix would react wildly. But to her shock, he seemed unimpressed. "Have you never heard of Lone Paragon?""Should I have?" Felix asked flatly.Xena sighed. "Fine. I only learned about it myself after this tournament was finalized. Lone Paragon is an ancient secret technique passed down through the ages. It's been safeguarded by the country for centuries and has never leaked out."An ancient technique that was valued by the country? It had to be extraordinary, then."If it's truly that remarkable, wouldn't the champion become a target for everyone? I doubt this tournament allows contestants to use fake identities or disguise themselves, right?" Felix asked.It was an important question. If he became the focus of countless ambitious warriors, his life

A moment ago, Felix's mind was preoccupied with Helena, so he hadn't asked Xena any questions. But since Gerald called, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, especially not with someone as close to him as he was.Gerald began, "Lone Paragon! Do you realize how precious it must be for the country to safeguard it for so many years without letting anyone learn it? There's even a rumor that it's not from Earth. That might be an exaggeration, but it still speaks to its mystique."He continued, "To get to the point, what makes Lone Paragon so irresistible to martial artists is its power. Once mastered, it allows you to triple your combat strength for one whole hour with zero side effects. And you can use it again after 24 hours.""What?" Felix shot to his feet. It was almost too good to be true.A chance to triple one's combat strength! Anyone who obtained the ability would become invincible among their peers, and defeating stronger opponents would be effortless. The fact that it las

"You brat! Why do you always have to bring that? I'm hanging up." Gerald scoffed."Wait, Mr. Hoffman!" Felix shouted. There was something even more critical he hadn't yet addressed. "My soul… it has a problem."Gerald grew serious. "Don't scare me. Soul-related issues are no small matter.""Here's what happened. Headquarters initially sent me to Seapoint for a mission, and I encountered..." Felix recounted everything in full detail. This was Gerald, his mentor, after all. There was nothing he couldn't share."Vigilantes? And no one remembers them? Destiny Crystals? Honestly, I've never heard of these things," Gerald admitted. "But what you're describing is beyond bizarre! Especially the ability to erase all memory of their existence. There are only a handful of individuals in the entire Dragonia capable of that."Felix was stunned. "What? Can people actually do that? How many more unbelievable things are hidden in Dragonia?""Did you show it to Fatso?""Fatso? Who's that?" Fel

At the Greene family estate, Aiden sat frowning. He held the same expression for quite some time. Meanwhile, Asher was in great turmoil and could not calm down.Aiden had sent a True Blood martial artist to kill Felix, yet the mission had failed. The assassin had gone missing, while Felix returned alive. He was completely unscathed, according to the reports."Aiden, should we strike again?" Asher asked cautiously.Aiden waved his hand dismissively."There's no time to waste on him for now. The Dragonia Martial Arts Competition is just around the corner, and the championship prize is the Lone Paragon ancient secret technique. That should be our priority."Standing up, Aiden smiled confidently."Only I am worthy of Lone Paragon. Anyone else who dares to covet it is nothing more than a fool."After a moment of hesitation, Asher asked carefully, "What if Felix decides to participate?"There were two possibilities regarding Felix. The first was that he had reached the True Blood R

Terry waved his hand decisively."This isn't something for you to worry about! When it comes to Lone Paragon, even those old recluses will send their prized disciples or family members. If Zack doesn't go, who else will stand a chance? Now leave."…As a new day dawned, Felix made his usual round at the clinic before heading over to Floral Wreath Boutique."Billy, are you signing up for the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition?"Unexpectedly, Billy shook his head, saying, "I'm not a martial artist, so why the hell would I join?"Hearing that, Felix's expression turned strange, wondering why he claimed not to be a martial artist. Then again, Billy had always been hard to figure out."Well, it's a relief that you're not joining," Felix said. He had confidence in taking on anyone, except for Billy. This guy was too mysterious, and his methods were downright bizarre."Felix, are you serious about what you mentioned last night?"Felix nodded. "Yeah, I already got Melissa's co

The bodies and limbs of the mall staff were trembling violently on the floor. When the two of them looked over again, the staff had all regrouped, rushing over once again.Were they indestructible like cockroaches? Felix and Esme began punching and kicking helplessly. Fortunately, they were both on solid ground. Otherwise, they would've tripped and fallen to their deaths.It took a bit of effort to finally disperse them all again. Having learned their lessons, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore and rushed up the stairs madly. Sure enough, the mall staff collected themselves and started moving much faster!It was coincidentally similar to the characteristics of Malevolent Phantoms. Was it just a coincidence or intentional? Felix pondered in his mind as they rushed through the emergency exit to the second floor with Esme. Finally, they reached the second floor of Orchard Square. The door behind them slammed shut—and there was pure silence. It was as if they were completely isolate
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1368
After closing the emergency door, the two finally stopped. "Are we safe?" Esme panted.After a moment of thought, Felix replied, "I think so. Then, I'll head back to grab our clothes."Esme immediately grabbed his arm. "Hey! You said you would listen to me. If you go back, can you guarantee to come back? I'm a woman, and even I don't care yet you're the one who can't let it go?"Anyone who saw them would've thought they were having an intense argument. But in fact, they were simply left with no choice."Besides, the second floor sells clothes. Why should we risk going back?"Felix rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "You're right. Okay, let's go." All of a sudden, the emergency door slammed open with a bang. A dozen of the mall staff rushed in. "Intruders! Intruders!"Without hesitation, the two of them ran upstairs. Esme stopped again after a few steps, confusion spread across her face."Do… Do they think they can catch us at that speed? I wonder what the guy controllin

Felix knew these were all illusions, but he still reacted because it looked too real. After speaking, the middle-aged man went downstairs. Esme glanced at Felix and motioned to follow him. She didn't want to alert the enemy and wanted to see what was happening first. They followed the middle-aged man down to the basement and pushed open the emergency door. They entered the basement of Orchard Square. It was a standard mall layout, after all. Felix saw two queues not too far away, but he didn't know what they were lining up for."Get in line. It'll be your turn soon." With that, the middle-aged man left. He clearly wasn't worried about Felix and Esme running away. The two of them looked at each other and Esme gave him a slight nod, intending to stay put. Felix immediately understood that there were too many people around.If a slight expression crossed his face, everyone would stare at him and he would be regarded as a foreign entity, let alone if he ran. Besides, if he moved, w

Just as Felix felt lost, a woman smiling at him from a jewelry shop nearby caught his eye. Her smile was faint, but in such an odd mall, it stood out even more. Otherwise, why would it catch Felix's eye?Her smile was fleeting, disappearing in mere seconds. If it lasted any longer, the people in the mall would probably turn to glare at him again. After seeing the woman turn around and walk away almost robotically, Felix quickly followed her at the same mechanical pace.She led him to an emergency stairwell and as Felix pushed through the door, she stood there waiting for him. "You've got the guts! Most people would've freaked out when they walked into this mall, but you seem quite calm," she said.Felix didn't know what the Black Soul Scout wanted with such an illusion, however, he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid of scaring them away. Besides, he could guess that the scout wasn't in the mall, otherwise, Donna would've sensed it."Who are you? What happened to Orchard Squ
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1365
According to Donna, there were three soul barriers in Orchard Square.The first one was a detection barrier, likely set up by the Black Soul Scout to avoid unnecessary trouble. It ensured that only ordinary people or martial artists could enter. Anyone who had cultivated their soul would disrupt the rules of this private paradise.The second barrier was an illusion-based one, directly affecting a person's soul to blur the line between reality and illusion.The third barrier was the most intriguing. It gathered some kind of energy from souls. Donna wasn't sure what exactly it was. The only way to find out was to step into the mall and investigate.Based on Felix's assessment, the third soul barrier was likely the true objective of Black Soul Scout. To uncover the truth and find the scout, he had no choice but to put himself at risk. There was no alternative.He was well aware that Hall of Souls knew everything about him. Even the lowest-ranked Blue Soul Envoys recognized his name.

"The soul barrier is in place. Let's get this over with. If you two see me, it'll just make things even more awkward, so it's better to start right away," Billy muttered.Inside the villa, an invisible force swept over them. Felix felt something new within his soul. It was something subtle yet impossible to pinpoint. It stirred a strange restlessness deep inside him.Just as he was about to focus on figuring out what was happening, his body reacted. Before he could process it, Xena had already thrown herself into his arms."What's going on? I suddenly feel like I need to be close to you."She clung tightly to him, yet neither of them moved beyond that embrace. Under normal circumstances, things between a man and a woman wouldn't stop here. They would probably undo their clothes."Damn it! That bastard tricked me," Felix muttered.The moment Xena got close, Felix's restless energy reached its peak, making it clear that this was definitely Billy's doing.Time passed. He had no ide
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1363
The moment the topic came up, Felix's gaze flickered, avoiding direct eye contact. No matter how you put it, even though Xena would also benefit from it, it still felt somewhat unfair. It felt that way, especially since they weren't in a relationship. If they were married or at least dating, it wouldn't be an issue at all."I'm exhausted. I need another two days to rest," he said.Billy scoffed. "I know your soul energy is depleted, but trust me. Your fatigue will disappear instantly once your souls merge. The feeling is beyond words. I'm sure you've heard from the Malevolent Phantom how irresistible Soul Binding is, even for those who've already experienced love and passion."Wait, what? Felix was speechless. It seemed that there was really no way out of it."Oh, one last thing. After you and Xena… you know, your soul energy will be completely absorbed and stored away. That means you won't have any left to wield a soul-bound weapon or use any soul attacks. Are you sure you still
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1362
There was only one explanation—Felix really could heal soul damage."Of course, I healed him. Let me rest for a bit. Wake me up when the sun comes up."Felix was utterly exhausted. Even if an S-tier Malevolent Phantom appeared beside him, he couldn't be bothered to care. If Donna had truly wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no reason for her to wait until now.As Donna watched Felix slip into a deep sleep almost instantly, her expression grew more complex.What kind of ridiculous joke was that? Even though Leonardo was a crossbreed, his soul had already inherited the traits of a Malevolent Phantom. While it wasn't exactly the same as a true Malevolent Phantom, the essence of his soul had changed.And yet, Felix had still managed to heal him. If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Malevolent Phantom world to its core.It was like finding out that some miracle doctor could cure any disease in the human world. People would go absolutely crazy.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1361
Leonardo's body suddenly started convulsing, and with foam spilling from his mouth, even a fool could tell something had gone wrong.Damage to the soul was entirely different from physical injuries. If one got a cut, even without treatment, their body would eventually heal on its own. However, the soul wasn't like that. Any damage was permanent and had widespread consequences. Even if just a fraction of an inch of the soul was harmed, the physical reaction could be extreme.Felix let out a long breath. "Finally got it out. It sounds easy, but doing it was incredibly difficult. Even with my soul energy, I nearly couldn't hold on."The level of precision required to make such an impossibly fine cut was beyond imagination. To do it without causing any collateral damage would require soul energy beyond comprehension.Of course, Leonardo's soul had been damaged. There was no avoiding it."At least he's alive. You've done all you could," Donna said.However, Felix just smiled. "That'
