This was the first time Melissa knew about Felix's fighting prowess. For a moment, she had no idea what she could say about the situation. She was even so pleasantly surprised that she was shedding tears of joy. Meanwhile, Nala was also grinning from ear to ear. She made a wise choice to fall for Felix. Billy was the only person who pursed his lips. Although he didn't say anything, his expression said everything. "I appreciate your respect for me." Milo was stunned for a while before she moved her hand away from the hilt of her sword. "But I'm yielding." It was Felix's turn to feel puzzled. As far as he was concerned, Milo wasn't the kind of lady who would give up this easily. In fact, she would've chosen to duke it out with him. "There's no reason to feel strange about it. I'm not powerful enough to take on a Boneforging Realm martial artist right now. I know that about myself. So, why do I have to fight you at all?"More to the point, we don't really know each other. Ronan

After Aiden lowered his hand, a black mark appeared between his eyebrows. Naturally, the others didn't know the meaning behind the mark, nor would they really care about it. After all, this was nothing worth getting shocked over. If it were, then Wally's earlier moves would've been downright earth-shattering. With that said, those who were in the know were anything but calm, and Lionel was one of them. "It's hard to believe that there's something you don't know about, Lord Lionel," Mira said teasingly.Lionel responded solemnly, "Do you know about it already?""I don't. I was merely a little surprised. It looked like Mr. Hoffman shouldn't have spared that old coot's life all those years ago."The Shadowdragon Warlord was stunned for a moment before something shifted in his gaze. "It sounds like Dr. Hoffman knew about it. I'll wager that was why he sent you here to oversee the competition."Mira giggled. "That's where you're wrong. I'm no match for that old coot. My fellow app

The diamond-shaped black mark on Aiden's forehead flickered with a dark glow before fading away. As this happened, his attacks changed dramatically, and his speed nearly doubled.He shouted, "Shadow Assault!" Felix began to retreat while defending against the attacks, which only fueled Aiden's confidence. He mocked, "You think you're worthy of fighting me? Die!" As Felix approached the edge of the arena, he suddenly smiled, causing Aiden's heart to skip a beat. Felix said, "Since you're finally going all out, I don't need to play around anymore."I hate to break it to you, but for someone from the Greene family who's supposed to be a prodigy, you're pretty disappointing.""Dragon Fist!" Felix roared. He had been fighting Aiden with basic moves this whole time without using any special techniques.Felix was a master of the Dragons Destroyer style, known for defeating opponents above his level. At the same level, he was practically invincible. So, there was no way Aiden could

Someone had actually come to Aiden's rescue. Felix's expression darkened as he recalled how he had planned to defeat Aiden fairly in the Martial Arts Competition from the moment he learned of his participation.Everything had gone according to plan until this unexpected intervention. Even with the Protector present, no one should have been able to interfere. No matter who Aiden's mentor was, pulling something like this off should have been impossible. Yet, it happened anyway.With Felix's sharp mind, he immediately suspected there was more to this situation than met the eye. However, no one would dare question the Protector, especially since no one else had been hurt in the process."I hereby declare Felix Zeller the champion of this Martial Arts Competition," the Protector announced.The scattered applause that followed reflected how the sudden appearance of the powerful fighter had affected everyone's mood. Felix shook his head and descended from the arena, deciding that dwelli

George and the others threw a celebration party for Felix's victory that night, and everyone was in high spirits. Even Milo, who usually avoided such gatherings, joined in the festivities.Despite drinking quite a bit, Felix cleared his mind when he got home and began studying the Lone Paragon technique. He could not resist exploring something that so many people had been seeking.When Felix opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that dawn had already broken—time had passed even faster than during pill cultivation. "The Lone Paragon is just a fragment? How incredible must the complete version be?" he wondered aloud. Indeed, the Lone Paragon technique he received could triple his combat power without any side effects, but it was only a portion of the whole. He murmured, "Where is the rest of the Lone Paragon?"According to the text, the Lone Paragon techniques had to be learned sequentially, and Felix had only received the most basic part. Without this foundation, one woul

If not for Xena's serious expression, Felix would have thought he had misheard. He asked in disbelief, "An enemy invasion? How is that possible when our nation is so powerful?" Xena gave a bitter smile and explained, "I wish I knew the answer too, but as a warlord, my rank isn't high enough. I can only follow orders and tell you what's relevant to the mission. As a proper Dragon Knight, your duty is simply to obey." Since even Xena did not know the details, Felix knew pursuing that line of questioning would be pointless. He said, "Tell me about 'that side' then." Xena sighed with relief, grateful that Felix had not pressed further. "That place is where a large portion of our most powerful martial artists migrated from the capital years ago. They've thrived there, building families and communities, and their combat abilities far surpass what we have here."Felix had to agree with this assessment. He thought of Cynthia, his supposed fiancée's sister, and her incredible strength. T
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 930
Felix rolled his eyes at the notion of becoming the strongest in Martial City. He was not even bothered to respond to such an outlandish idea."Don't underestimate yourself, Felix," Xena insisted. "Look how young you are and already at the Boneforging Realm—that alone is remarkable. Don't you think it's possible with the Lone Paragon's power boost?"Xena felt mixed emotions, knowing Felix had hidden his true strength from her. He had already reached the Boneforging Realm, which meant he must have been incredibly powerful before, yet she had no idea."Whatever. I've accepted the mission, and I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee the outcome—no one can," Felix said.Their conversation continued until sunset before Felix left. While headquarters had shared extensive information about Martial City, Felix realized he would only truly understand it once he got there himself.Watching Felix's retreating figure, Xena opened her mouth several times but could not bring herself to speak. Sh

Selmer immediately stepped in and said, "Ms. Emmerson, Mr. Zeller instructed us to keep him alive. Please don't act impulsively."However, Louise was more direct. He stepped in front of Shane without hesitation. He had just arrived and was not that familiar with Melissa or the others, so he only followed Felix's orders. "Alive? No way!" Melissa shot back, her voice filled with fury. "Felix knows exactly what's going on here. Don't try to fool me!"Blinded by hatred, Melissa could not think rationally. The sight of Shane brought back horrifying memories of being treated like livestock at the auction, and it made her seethe with rage.She commanded, "Ronan, kill him for me!"Ronan did not hesitate. Although he had great respect for Felix, his heart belonged to Melissa. He warned Selmer and Louise, "Get out of my way, or I might just use force on you too."Though Ronan was only at the Blood Realm major mastery stage while Selmer and Louise were True Blood Realm fighters, as a memb

No matter how much a Malevolent Phantom knew, the only thing that was ultimately recovered from them was the extent of humanity's mastery over the soul—nothing else.According to Donna, when a Malevolent Phantom was killed, only a tiny fragment of their remaining soul was retrieved. It was not enough to record everything they had learned—only the most critical information was preserved.So, in the end, whatever intelligence a Malevolent Phantom gathered during its time on Earth did not matter.Felix narrowed his eyes and said, "You're pretty smart. No, actually, a lot of you Malevolent Phantoms seem to have figured this out. Is that why so many of you beg for your lives?"A flicker of hope flashed in the Malevolent Phantom's eyes, and he replied in a serious tone, "I know martial artists like you are bound by your oaths. If you swear on the heavens that you won't kill me, I'll give you some valuable information."Felix did not hesitate. Raising his hand, he declared, "I swear on t

Felix was a Grandmaster. From this close, he could tell immediately whether Malevolent Phantom had used a technique to heal his broken arm or if it had simply regenerated on its own. That was why he made that remark.The Malevolent Phantom frowned. He replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."Then, as if deciding it was not worth the trouble, he muttered, "Whatever. You're strong. I'll give you that. But this isn't that big of a deal, so I'll let you walk away unharmed."Felix's mouth twitched. This was the second Malevolent Phantom he had encountered—after Karina's incident—that actually knew when to back down.It seemed that just like humans, Malevolent Phantoms changed depending on their environment and way of life. The weaker ones, in particular, were more likely to adapt, which was probably why they only killed when they absolutely needed to feed."I'm just a martial artist," Felix said, smirking. "Are you really that afraid of dying?"The Malevolent Phantom

If Felix had not come, no one would have noticed the distinct scent on the victims' bodies. Without that clue, the culprits could have continued their crimes without restraint.He muttered, "Was this all planned by the A-tier Malevolent Phantom? I have a really bad feeling about this."The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became. Could something this organized and meticulously executed really be the work of just one Malevolent Phantom? If humans were involved, that would be far more terrifying.When it came to outside threats, no matter how horrifying, the people of Dragonia had always been willing to fight to the bitter end. However, history had a way of repeating itself—if traitors had existed in the past, who was to say they did not exist now?Eventually, Felix said, "Chloe, here's the plan. Tomorrow, you'll go to this dental clinic. You won't see me, but I'll be watching from the shadows. I promise you won't be in any danger."Then, he pulled out a check. He ha

Felix had not expected Gerald to bring up the Ancient Sage and the Eight Guardians on his own.Gerald replied, "Quit worrying about me and my brother. Karina already told me everything, and since you've already clashed with the Eight Guardians, you might as well see it through to the end."With that, the call ended. Felix felt a rush of excitement. At least now, he had something solid to report to Eloise.Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think this would be easy. If Gerald had set this as his goal, it meant the Eight Guardians were not just some random pushovers.Now that he had already crossed paths with Ashton, he did not need to look for trouble—the rest of them would definitely come after him sooner or later. There was no way they would just sit back and do nothing if one of their own was taken out.But so far, Felix had only encountered two of them—Ashton and Bonnie. The other six remained a mystery, and that was the real problem.By the time the sun was setting, his

Ian finally understood why Angie respected Felix so much. After all, he could even take time off whenever he wanted. Angie's gaze was filled with mixed emotions as she stared at Felix, saying, "Felix, to be honest, I don't even know how to talk to you anymore. "Even Wendy, the head of Kinsley Corporation, listens to you without question, yet you're seriously working here as a front desk manager?"She had already been shocked to learn that Felix's cousin was Dreamscape, but what she had just witnessed was on a whole other level—it was like a bolt of lightning striking her. In fact, she was starting to question if that whole "cousin" thing was even real.Her words were spoken casually, but they hit like a sledgehammer. Bob, who was already sweating bullets, felt his legs go weak and collapsed to his knees.He quickly shouted, "I was wrong! I never should've set you up—please, just think of me as nothing and let me go!"He never expected Wendy to be the very person everyone in Kas

Bob did not say much. He kept wondering if Felix and Wendy were just being polite. He was absolutely certain he would not be exposed. The waiter would never admit to intentionally causing trouble, and no investigation could possibly reveal anything. He might as well keep things as messy as possible. Less than ten minutes passed before Angie arrived. She did not even greet Felix, immediately rushing to the Azure VIP Room with Ian. Felix remained in the main hall. It was past the lunch rush, so the restaurant was almost empty and quiet. Suddenly, Bob heard Felix's voice say, "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you really didn't need to use these tactics." "Mr. Zeller, were you speaking to me?" "You know exactly what I mean. Don't do this again." Felix was not naive. He could tell from how Bob had been helpful in the main hall but went silent in the private room. Something was definitely fishy. But Felix was totally focused on the Malevolent Phantoms now, and he

Just as Felix turned, the bathroom door opened, and a woman walked out. Seeing how the hem of her dress was wet, it was clearly from washing off spilled wine. "Mr. Zeller?" With just a glance, Felix was instantly wordless. Of all people, it was actually Wendy. "Oh, Wendy. What a coincidence!" Seeing Felix in his professional attire, Wendy was stunned. "What are you doing?" "I'm working as a front desk manager at this restaurant." Hearing this, Wendy remembered Felix was currently running important tasks nationwide. So, this made perfect sense. "Since we know each other, let's just drop this. The waiter didn't mean to cause trouble. There's no need to make such a big deal." Franz had already walked over at that moment. But he was shocked to see Wendy knew the front desk manager and was even addressing him so respectfully. "Got it, Mr. Zeller. Sorry for the trouble." Felix nodded and left. Bob followed, but a bad feeling crept into his mind. How did Felix know Franz's

Sally heard the intercom call, too, and her admiration for Bob reached new heights. Everyone in the restaurant knew that for VIP rooms like the Azure Room, customer complaints could not be handled by a front desk manager. Only the general manager—like Ian—could deal with it—and if he couldn't, Angie herself would have to step in.This was clearly Bob's setup. If not, Felix would not have had to go over. Bob had taken advantage of Felix being new and clueless about the rules.But his guts were something else. He was actually sacrificing one or two waiters just to go up against the boss' daughter. Was this really just about a front desk manager position anymore? In the Azure VIP Room, there were only two people by the massive table. A waiter knelt on the floor, body shaking uncontrollably. Just this scene told Felix the guests were definitely high-profile. "Who are you?"The young man with a powerful presence immediately frowned when he saw Felix."Hello, sir. I'm the front des
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1202
In the morning, Felix visited the dental clinic where the two women had their teeth cleaned. He found nobody suspicious there. He had already reviewed the relevant videos. They only had a routine teeth cleaning with barely any interaction. Any hope of finding a lead this way was completely crushed. After leaving, he received a call from Angie and rushed to an incredibly luxurious restaurant. "Felix, how about working as a front desk manager here?" she asked.What should have been a simple job offer now felt like she was tentatively seeking his permission. "Sure. But Ms. Sinclair, I have one condition."Angie smiled and said, "Go ahead.""I have some personal matters to deal with here. So, when I need to leave to handle something, I hope I can get time off normally." Angie thought that was nothing. She glanced at the middle-aged man beside her. "No problem. This is the restaurant's general manager, Ian Goodwin. Just give him a call when you want to leave." Ian immediately
