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

"You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn't get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that's for you youngins to decide. We won't care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real. "I've lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let's allow Felix to try." The smile on Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,

It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical

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
