The clinic fell completely silent. No one expected Ronan to make such a move, and judging by his expression, it seemed like he was deadly serious.Billy started clapping, laughing out loud. "Good news! This is great news!"Melissa smacked him on his back immediately. "Are you out of your mind, fatso?"With an annoyed glance at Ronan, Melissa turned and ran off as she was genuinely startled."Wait, my wife! Don't leave! You're supposed to come home and have kids with me!"Ronan started to chase after her, but Felix stopped him. Wearing an ugly expression, he asked, "Is this how you pursue a woman?"Ronan, looking dumbfounded, didn't know what to say."Where did you find this kid?" Nala asked.Hearing that, Felix's expression darkened even more."I didn't actively search for him, alright? I had no idea he was going to pull something like this. Go check on Melissa."A few minutes later, only Felix and Ronan were left in the clinic."That's my sister Melissa. I didn't have the
There was suddenly silence on the other end of the line. Felix thought it was because of a bad signal and was about to speak when a much fiercer voice came through, "What? You're the apprentice of the respected elder? Wow, that's an honor! "Don't worry, my future in-law. I guarantee my grandson will pursue your sister with all his heart. I swear, I won't lie to you. If this rascal isn't worthy, he wouldn't dare to force it."Respected elder? This was the first time Felix had heard someone refer to Gerald like that, so it felt a little strange."Are you sure?""Absolutely. Please pass the phone to my grandson, I need to give him a serious talking-to."Before handing over the phone, Felix asked who the old man was. The only answer he got was "Warlock", which he had never heard of.…Four days passed quickly. Despite the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition, Felix was not affected at all. He still went to the clinic every day, though he still hadn't had a single patient.
Felix and his friends gathered in a luxurious private room at an upscale restaurant in Yartford that night."Everybody, please try the pasta. I hired professional chefs to cook it for all of you."Madeline called a group of waiters over. Her pasta was renowned for being delicious. After tasting it, Melissa, who loved eating pasta and fondue, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It tastes great, Maddy. When are you going to open a franchise in Gray City? I'll miss this terribly."Madeline smiled. "Since you said that, I'll open one soon."Though Ronan looked like a simple and honest person, he was actually pretty quick-witted. So, he swiftly said, "Can you teach me how to cook it, Maddy? If Melissa craves it in the future, I can cook that for her."Hearing that, Felix replied, "Shut up! That is Maddy's secret recipe. How could she give it to you? Let's drink instead."Realizing that Jack was drinking juice, Felix asked, "Are you a woman, Jack? Do you have that 'time of the month' when y
At 11:00 pm, they finished their dinner. Jack drove Ronan and Felix to the banquet hall. "Rest well, Felix. Leave everything to me!"Ronan had been dragged into the car by Melissa. The latter threatened to break up with him if he made Felix fight this time. "Okay," Felix replied. To be honest, he was a little drunk. The liquor was bought by Ryan and was made using a secret technique, so it was very valuable. Apparently, even powerful martial artists would be a little drunk after drinking it, so its authenticity was confirmed. Once they arrived at the place, they saw a large restaurant on Yartford's outskirts.It wasn't a coincidence that Ocean Whit chose this place. Since many experts were arriving there, they would be fighting a lot, and fighting wasn't allowed in the central area of Yartford. When the three men got out of the car, a muscular man at the entrance said, "If you can make me retreat without getting me injured, you can enter the banquet."That was probably the
Milo's gaze turned indifferent. Raising her scabbard, she warned, "I told you to leave!"Hearing that, Ronan anxiously asked, "What are you doing, Milo? They are my friends."Sneering, Milo looked at Felix and Jack disdainfully. "Are you really his friends? Ronan may be naive, but I know what you two are thinking. You probably want him to do something bad for you. Had we not met, it would've been fine. But since we did, I have to care about him."Are you leaving or not?"Meanwhile, Felix frowned. He couldn't even take a small nap. It was frustrating. "Can you tell her to shut up, Ronan?"Hearing that, Ronan was scared senseless. He pulled Milo over and said, "Stop meddling in my affairs, Milo. I know I'm naive, and you probably said that because you care for me. But they won't trick me."He had known Milo since they were young. So, he realized that the latter was looking at him distrustfully and hurriedly whispered, "His younger sister is going to be my wife soon. Do you understa
Both Ocean and Aiden were powerful and from influential families. After realizing that the Martial Arts Competition would take place, they privately won over the favor of a few young martial arts masters. They wanted to eliminate the useless martial artists during the competition and make them withdraw once they saw both of them. This was to save time. So, a while later, a muscular man approached Felix and crossed his arms. He said coldly, "Do you dare to fight with me? I don't think you're qualified to sit here."Hearing that, everyone looked over. They knew that something dramatic was about to happen. Fights were common in the banquet, so long as no one died in the process. However, Felix continued snoring. When they noticed that, a few people didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They wondered who Felix was and why he was sleeping there.As expected, the muscular man was infuriated. Just when he was about to attack, Ronan stopped him. "How can you disturb Felix's sleep? L
No one took this guy, who dared not show his face, seriously. Some people present were even laughing at him.However, when his intimidating presence blanketed the entire yard, their expressions shifted, and fear started growing in their hearts. "He's in the Boneforging Realm!" someone yelled in shock, fear finally consuming him. What did being in Boneforging Realm imply? This was a major realm after True Blood Realm. Few in the older generation of cultivators had reached this stage. This was a Realm that could only be reached by a martial artist who had progressed onto forging his bones after having purified every single drop of blood in his body. It was certain that he would be extremely powerful. Everyone present was still young. Even if they were gifted, there was no way they could battle against a powerful cultivator in Boneforging Realm. Aiden remained calm, though. He said with a laugh, "I think you've probably lived in some cave for too long, old man. We're in Yartfor
Just as Ocean's reassuring efforts started to work, Jack vomited blood. Not just him, but so did the regular citizens here, such as all the waiting staff in the yard. "Crap!" Felix stopped quickly. Only then did he remember that regular folks were also present. The martial artists could still resist the effects of the poison somewhat, but the ordinary citizens not versed in the martial arts didn't have a chance. Based on his brief resistance against the poison, he could confirm that an ordinary citizen would die within one minute. How could he watch his best friend die just like that?"Anyone with silver needles on hand? Take them out!"With a flick of Felix's hand, all his needles flew toward all directions. Even so, only half of the regular people present were rescued. The others collapsed onto the floor in agony. "Am I going to die, Felix?" Jack stared at his blood on the ground, his face frozen in disbelief."Shut up! As if I'd let you die!"Milo rushed over to ask Felix,
Donna nodded. Honestly, she herself felt tempted. Devouring such a soul would bring immeasurable growth, so no S-tier Malevolent Phantom could possibly pass up such an opportunity. Donna said, "But Felix, remember this. If that so-called soul fragment wins, it's your problem to deal with. But if Malachar wins, you must finish it off within one minute! "We S-tier Malevolent Phantoms can fully absorb a soul within a minute. You should know exactly how much stronger Malachar would become afterward." Felix gave a cold laugh, not bothering to respond. The moment the battle was decided, Malachar would attack relentlessly in the very next second—Felix would have less than one minute to react. Regardless of who won or lost, this was definitely going to happen no matter what. "By the way, can the Mystical Explosive Orb only capture a Malevolent Phantom's soul essence?" Donna smiled bitterly. "That's how the orb was designed. Thanks for your concern. I know what you're thinking. If the
Throughout Dragonia's history, there had been countless super geniuses whose existence was simply beyond description. What made the Malevolent Phantoms so special? Just because someone was from out of town didn't mean they know better, right? Felix had no idea why he felt so confident about his current plan. "Let's give it a try first." Clearly, no matter how much he tried to convince Donna, she still believed S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were stronger. She was so confident of this because she knew too well what Malevolent Phantoms were like. Before they began, Donna warned him again, "Are you sure he can handle the pressure when I unleash all my soul energy? One wrong move, and his soul will completely collapse." Felix was about to respond, but Benjamin had already answered, "It's fine. Go ahead. If I die from this, then it's what fate intended." Seeing the new look on Benjamin's face, Felix couldn't help but gulp. He felt as if an army of thousands was charging toward him, an
Similarly, after reaching Superior Soul Realm, Felix could use another secret technique from the Phaeron Codex called the Soulweave technique. It wasn't an attack. It resembled something like the Spirit Eye, which was reserved only for support.The Soulweave technique was to merge different soul-bound weapons and turn them into a different weapon. There was a high chance the new soul-bound weapons would surpass the original weapon by at least a level. Of course, there was also the probability of failure and getting nothing from it. The chance of success or failure was never predictable. It was all up to fate.Back when Felix infiltrated Rebirth Sect, he was excited. However, after seeing what the technique did, he almost burst a blood vessel from how frustrated he was. Soul-bound weapons only recognized their owner, let alone anything else.If the owner didn't take the bound away, the weapon would also disappear after its owner's death. So, didn't that mean Felix's new technique w
Felix felt a little confused now, looking directly at Benjamin. He didn't need to explain anymore to show what he meant."You have the Scholar's Arsenal in your body, and the calling will grow stronger. If you can resist it until the end, the Scholar's Arsenal will definitely attack you. You won't be able to take back the soul consciousness anymore."Benjamin quickly added, "Of course, don't try to do that. If you do, it will sense it as well!"After hearing that, Felix felt a little silly. If one could easily escape from the trap, it wouldn't be Francis' trap."Since you're here, there should be a way, right?" Fortunately, Benjamin nodded. "Yes. After all, I've been with Francis for so many years. I know bits and pieces. I can self-destruct my soul and cause serious damage to Francis' soul. Once his core is exposed, you can kill his soul."What? Self-destructing his soul? Felix was really surprised. "No, that won't work! I can't accept sacrificing you to save me! There must be
"That's right! Did you think that only King Aurelius wanted immortality? Francis did, too! Otherwise, why would he help King Aurelius find the elixir of eternal life? He just relied on the resources King Aurelius supplied him to fulfill his dream."Unfortunately, there was no elixir of eternal life. That was why Francis disappeared. However, he truly is a genius and found ways to immortality through other means."At this point, Felix became curious. Of course, anyone would be curious if they were hearing something that hadn't been mentioned in history books."Benjamin, if Francis is so powerful, why did he escape? Could King Aurelius really have killed him?"Benjamin's expression looked strange. It seemed like he wanted to say something but didn't know how. In the end, he still said, "That's King Aurelius! The one who united the six kingdoms, a true king! The dragon energy that emitted from him couldn't compare to anyone!"King Aurelius is also a martial artist himself! Once he fi
"You little rascal! Benjamin finally recovered temporarily. Considering I have some things that need to be dealt with, I told him to go with you. Send him back as soon as possible after dealing with them," the note said.Despite not fighting Benjamin from the start, Felix could only imagine how terrifying he was. No matter how Benjamin survived to this day, he must've been a monster that had lived for thousands of years.Especially now, with someone like Malachar pursuing him, it was like getting sent 100 million dollars when he was in debt. "Benjamin, are you really okay now?" Felix asked cautiously.Benjamin smiled reluctantly. "I can at least be considered a human. Although I haven't fully recovered, I'm already quite satisfied. But the doctor said he can fully heal me."As he spoke, awe flashed in Benjamin's eyes. "You truly exude the energy of my liege… Some things really cannot be said. If I hadn't met you back then, who knows what I would be now?"Of course, the energy he
So, that was why… Felix couldn't mistrust Donna, either. The Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed a lot of soul essence and helped his soul strength grow. Donna wasn't a fool, and of course, she could sense the growth.So, how could she give it up so easily? Yet, she still said such helpless words. Felix wondered if Dahlia and Karina could help him kill Malachar. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly dismissed the idea.He had seen the horrors of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms with his own eyes. He couldn't involve his fellow apprentices because of this… After all, this was related to life, and it wasn't a small fight."Take the Mystical Explosive Orb back. I won't have any use for it anymore. If I meet Malachar again, it'll just end up being snatched away by him."Donna could barely hold back her conflicted emotions. She was so excited as the orb had recently absorbed a powerful soul just a week ago, and it proved that her choice was right.However, she had to give it all up now. Ho
Malachar's body trembled slightly. A precious soul essence was actually given to a human by an S-tier Malevolent Phantom? What a waste!Besides, how could an S-tier Malevolent Phantom protect a human like this? This was completely incomprehensible to Malachar!"Once I find out who it is, I'll make sure they'll never stand among other S-tier Malevolent Phantoms! How dare you protect humans!" he spat out angrily, walking toward Anson.He gave Anson a look of contempt before leaving. By this point, Felix was already beyond Malachar's sensing range. Malachar didn't even know where to start if he wanted to chase after Felix. Naturally, he could only wait for his next chance.…As night fell, Felix opened the door to a hotel suite to welcome Donna, who had just arrived. "The S-tier Malevolent Phantom claims to be Malachar, and I figured out that he and Hall of Souls are working together. Maybe because they lost several Black Soul Scouts and the entire laboratory recently, he's despe
Malachar's face showed a hint of mockery. "No way I've mistaken you. I'm being guided to you, after all."Anson stood at a distance, obviously the so-called guide. No one else was around, after all."You've ruined so many Hall of Souls' good plans. So, you deserve to die!" Hall of Souls? Felix's expression turned ugly. He didn't expect Hall of Souls was actually working with S-tier Malevolent Phantoms. Yet, he had seen it with his own eyes this time."I didn't expect an S-tier Malevolent Phantom to act like a pawn for us humans. How admirable!" However, Malachar wasn't offended at all. "You humans are really good with words, but do you really think I'm fooled? Besides, Hall of Souls is 'my' pawn. This relationship will never change—not now and not ever."He moved, just a little. "Alright. I think I've said enough. I'll send you off now."Anson, who stood a little bit away, had no expression on. For him, it was best for Felix to die like this. Otherwise, Anson was sure to be th
