Chapter 965

Author: Dreamy Fire
Felix would never forget the scene he had watched in the video before. Cordelia, unwilling but resigned, had left him to protect him. Later, he learned some details from Nala, which led to this question.

No matter what happened, he still wanted to know more.

"Why would you ask that?" Delilah shot back.

Looking at the intriguing smile on Delilah's face, Felix felt a bit nervous. This new mentor of his was no ordinary person. She was really good at noticing things.

"Since coming to Martial City, all the powerful people I've encountered have been women, so I started wondering if it's true that women here are more talented?"

Delilah laughed at his comment. "Well, you're not entirely wrong. Let me answer your question directly. The most powerful woman in Martial City is known as the Empress. She is the strongest member of the royal family, and you could say she is the most powerful person known in Martial City."

Could the Empress be Cordelia?

"Thank you, Madam Goddard."

Indeed, Mart

    Jared gritted his teeth. Even with Delilah there, he couldn't accept what happened. However, he didn't dare to provoke Felix again. He wasn't brave enough to."Hahaha! Just because I'm unable to doesn't mean no one else can't," Jared muttered. His eyes followed Natalie's retreating figure as she left Tranquil Clinic. He slowly picked up his phone. "Mr. Windson, are you planning to use Natalie and her suitors in North City to deal with Felix? But based on what we know, they don't seem to have anything together," the middle-aged man in the front seat said.Glowering at him, Jared sneered. "You know jack shit! Let's not talk about them, but Atlas will definitely come. That man truly inherited the arrogance of the Maximus family. It won't allow him to tolerate any obstacle in his way!" With that, Jared dialed a number—fury in his eyes. It was as though he could already see Felix's terrible end.…Just as the sun was about to set, Felix had finished treating six patients. The cit

    Although Nala had advised him not to wear the Shadow Mask in Martial City, Felix couldn't care less at this critical moment. He wasn't impulsive, acting cautiously. He knew that Martial City was full of powerful people. Who knew whether the guy with the Dragonspine was strong or weak? That was why Felix decided to follow the man—to at least have an idea of who he was. With that, Felix quickly headed out. He moved rather quickly, reaching his top speed, which was barely faster than that of the other man.He could tell that the man was definitely not weak. As they arrived at an alley, Felix stopped. On the other hand, the man didn't move either. However, they both stood where they stopped."You've been chasing me for so long, yet you don't dare to come over?" The voice coming from the alley was sinister. It was a voice that would send chills down anyone's back. Felix remained calm and composed—continuing to hide in the shadows."Hmph! You're hiding in the shadows? Let's see wh

    "Lone Paragon!" Although Felix could clearly see that the old man was injured, he activated this technique immediately. This was a battle between life and death!His opponent was strong, so Felix couldn't afford to have a slip-up. The two of them fought, trading blow after blow. The battle was so intense that there was nothing left intact. A few minutes later, the old man felt terrified. Could this young man have a secret technique to increase combat power? He was much stronger than before—could he actually defeat the old man? The old man panicked a little, but he wasn't afraid of losing to Felix. However, because of such a big commotion, although they were far from North City, it would inevitably attract other martial arts masters!"Boy! You've earned my respect! As you've asked before, we should go our separate ways now. How about that?"Felix was annoyed—the old man was injured, and Felix was sure he could wear the old man down quickly. "When did I say that? Old man, you st

    After some thought, Felix finally let up the thought. It was best for him to be cautious when it came to the true Dragonspine. In fact, it was because he was no match for Dickson, and he wouldn't be able to take control of the situation.Despite working at Harmony Clinic together, it meant nothing. Even biological brothers would turn against each other in the face of interests—let alone relationships. Even if Felix mentioned Delilah, he couldn't entirely rely on that fact. As he pondered the thought, the energy of the true Dragonspine soon faded away and he couldn't feel it anymore. All his thoughts were completely dispelled."Don't worry, I won't question you. Go back to the clinic. Even though you're in the Physical Refinement Realm, it's best not to leave the city unless absolutely necessary. "It is even dangerous for me, do you understand?"No questions? Felix felt relieved. Dickson really didn't seem that bad. "Thank you, Mr. Marlow. I'll head back to the clinic first."

    As long as Harmony Clinic was open, Natalie would always come by—rain or shine. Although she always left quickly after getting insulted, she would still come."Are you stupid? You don't want to get close to me, yet you still come by. What's wrong with you?" Felix snapped.However, Natalie didn't get angry this time. Instead, she turned and closed the shutter door—surprising Felix."Hah! I can see that you're all bark but no bite. Now that the door is closed, we're alone. You can do whatever you want to me. Come on." A sly look flashed in Natalie's eyes.Felix was so annoyed he wanted to teach her a lesson and tell her to never come again. "You said it yourself. How lucky I am to have one of the Top Ten Menaces—Natalie Earnheart, the beautiful alchemist. I didn't expect I would get to have a taste," Felix said as he walked over to her slowly. His movement made Natalie feel a little unsure. Could the elder's analysis be wrong? Was this man really a pervert?"There are surveillan

    Felix sat back down in his chair. Once the initial surprise had passed, he composed himself. Since there was no way to avoid this, he had to face it.Fortunately, he wasn't the newbie who knew nothing when he first came to Martial City. He was strong enough, and Delilah supported him. So what about Atlas? There wasn't a need for Felix to be scared."Are you telling me that the most dangerous place is the safest? Interesting, I never thought about it like that before." Atlas closed the door behind him, walked over, and sat down. He looked like he had won. The issue with Natalie had been long forgotten since the true Dragonspine was far more important. "Where is that powerful woman? I'm guessing she didn't come with you." Atlas didn't attack immediately because of the rules in Martial City, and he was afraid that Karina was hiding in the shadows.When he was in the capital, he experienced how strong Karina was. If it weren't for the magical weapon his elder had given him, he would

    "Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor

    In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor-mentees, they still respected each other.She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore. Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

    Barry rushed to the Xavier residence at top speed, only to be stopped at the gate. "Please let me in. I'm Barry Lufter. My father's inside!" No matter how humbly he begged, the guards wouldn't budge. Annoyed, they threatened him, "You little punk! We're already being nice by warning you. Here, then. We'll step aside. Try breaking in and see what happens."When the two guards moved away, Barry backed down instead. One step across that gate would mean instant death."Well, well! If it isn't Barry Lufter! I heard you became an Intermediate-grade alchemist at Harmony Clinic. Have you come to show off at our house?"A young man emerged, and Barry quickly greeted him with respect, "Mr. Jace." The newcomer was Jace Xavier. He was from the main family line and was also Nerissa's cousin."Please, Mr. Jace, let me in. There must be some misunderstanding about my father trespassing."Jace looked down at Barry with contempt. "If there's a misunderstanding, are you suggesting we Xaviers

    After chatting a while longer and getting Felix's number, Janet left. A few minutes later, Barry appeared. He entered cautiously. "Wow, this is one of Westville's high-end restaurants! A meal here costs at least 500 emeralds. You really know how to pick a place." Felix laughed and said, "Come on! You're an Intermediate-grade alchemist now. Can't you afford this much?" Barry gave a bitter smile. "Felix, I may have succeeded, but my pill-forming rate is low. So, I'm barely hanging on at Harmony Clinic. Do you think all Intermediate grades are doing well?"Those of us with average talent spend most of our time making basic pills just to meet requirements, or we'd be kicked out." Felix understood this well. As an Intermediate-grade alchemist, if he could not deliver the required monthly quota of intermediate pills, he had to make up for it with basic ones. If he failed a few times, he would be expelled from Harmony Clinic.This created a vicious cycle. With low pill-forming rates

    Felix froze in surprise. He never expected to run into Janet so soon after arriving in Westville. That's the very same woman who would soon be the center of the upcoming Battle of the Bride. Her lively presence reminded him of their first meeting in the capital, which felt like only yesterday. "Someone get him out of here! He's an eyesore!" Janet instructedColin's followers had been furious at first. But upon recognizing Janet, they fled without a word while carrying Colin away."Fighting isn't allowed in the city," Felix stated. Hearing Felix's words, Janet's smile grew sweeter. "That was self-defense! He struck first, and everyone saw it. So, it's fine." Good grief. Colin was nearly knocked out cold, and she called that self-defense? Janet giggled. "When did you get here? It must have taken you a while to find Westville, right?" With that casual conversation, she had confirmed Felix's identity. "Let's find somewhere more private to talk." They then entered a restau

    "Well, how could I not take a gamble after a pitch like that?" Shepherd said.Soon after, Shepherd sent Felix a private message about finding the Skeletal Demon. He was so cautious that he would not even let Deborah hear it. "Now you know. It's up to you whenever you want to tell Dickson about this." "Thank you, Mr. Ghost." Deborah did not think much of it. After spending over a month with Felix, she knew he was an upright person. If he said he wanted to repay Dickson's kindness, he meant it. She would not mention anything to Dickson since this was Felix's decision. In Martial City, every car leaving town carried two gas cans in the trunk. Fuel was only available within city limits, and running out on long trips would be disastrous.Especially with gas-guzzlers like the Brabus. By the time they reached Westville the next day, they had already stopped twice to refuel. Westville had its own Harmony Clinic branch, where they were staying. Felix made his request as soon as th

    "Mr. Ghost, do you know about the Skeletal Demon?" Felix asked suddenly during the drive, remembering how he had asked Deborah before without learning much. Shepherd laughed and said, "Why are you asking about that one?" "A friend mentioned him once and said he was ruthless and terrifying. It just made me curious." Shepherd glanced at Deborah with an odd expression. "Your mentor really does focus solely on alchemy, doesn't she? The Skeletal Demon has been Harmony Clinic's target for years. Obviously, you haven't heard much from Madam Goddard, have you?" he teased.Deborah frowned. "Teaching him alchemy is enough. Should I keep up with every bit of gossip? Out with it, you old man! You're getting more insufferable with age." Shepherd chuckled before continuing, "The Skeletal Demon is at the late stage of Transcendent Realm. His combat ability is mediocre at best—he'd lose to any serious fighter at his level. But his cultivation technique is strange."He's terrifyingly good at

    An elderly man with flowing white hair rolled down the driver's window and looked at Felix. "Get in the car already, will you?"Felix replied respectfully, "One moment, Mr. Ghost." When he turned back around, the fat man had collapsed to the ground in fear. "Apologize to her!" Instantly, the man scrambled up and started kneeling before Laura, apologizing as if his life depended on it."If I ever catch you disrespecting Laura again, you know what'll happen," Felix warned. Laura's vision blurred with tears, feeling that warm sensation of being protected once again. Only after the Brabus SUV left did the fat man dare to stand, his legs still shaking. "Dear God, I just had a brush with death! Damn, I've only been away from North City for a few months!"Who the hell is that guy? How'd he get a ride in Mr. Ghost's car?" That vehicle was recognized throughout not just North City but all of Martial City as Shepherd Ghost's ride. He was an undisputed master of the Transcendent Re

    Felix never imagined he would one day be so close to Cordelia or even meet her. Truthfully, he was not mentally prepared for this. From that video, it was clear the royal family despised him. If discovered, they would likely try every means to eliminate him. No wonder Nala had said that if he revealed his identity, he would need to stay by the Empress' side—otherwise, he'd be in danger. "What's wrong?" As an experienced elder, Deborah immediately noticed Felix's unease. "Nothing's wrong. Please go ahead, Madam Goddard. I'm focusing on alchemy right now and would rather avoid any contact with the royal family." Hearing this, Deborah did not question further. Felix had only recently arrived in Martial City and already faced trouble from both Jared and the Maximus family. Who knew whether dealing with the royal family would be a bad thing? "Very well. We'll discuss this another time." Sitting in his chair, Felix felt bitter. Learning that his parents had abandoned him to save

    Westville? Felix thought about what Barry had mentioned. The Xavier family's Battle for the Bride was happening in a few days."Are you going to Westville for the Xavier family's tournament, Madam Goddard?"Deborah's expression turned strange. "So, you do have romantic interests! Here I thought your mind was filled with nothing but martial arts and alchemy. I didn't think you'd know about the tournament. You're not going to try your luck, are you?"Felix rubbed his head, slightly embarrassed. "Stop teasing me." Deborah laughed. "Janet Xavier isn't quite good enough for you, though her sister Nerissa is remarkable. Too bad she's already engaged, or I might have played the matchmaker." Taking advantage of the opening, Felix quickly asked, "Really? Do you think highly of Nerissa as well, Madam Goddard?"Deborah nodded. "Of course! That woman has strong principles and excellent character. Among the Top Ten Menaces, she's one of the few who meet my standards. Whoever that mysterious

    At the Maximus residence in Bedford, the usual liveliness had given way to a heavy atmosphere. Even the housekeepers worked in silence with their heads down instead of chattering cheerfully. This change, of course, stemmed from the loss of their three elders. Such news couldn't be hidden. "Dean Maximus!" A voice shattered the silence, echoing throughout the vast residence for all to hear. Soon, several people rushed to the front courtyard, including Jonah and Herbert. They were the ones who had ambushed Dickson and Felix earlier."Mr. Whitwell, this is unexpected. Forgive us for not greeting you sooner."Indeed, it was Ezra who had called out. Though he stood alone without exuding any energy, his presence made both elders uncomfortable. Such was the terrifying nature of someone who had achieved the mastery of Transcendent Realm.Another elder appeared in a flash, smiling at Ezra. He asked, "Ezra, what brings you to our place?"Ezra snorted coldly. "Spare me the pretense, Dean
