The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 983
"As the deputy chief of Harmony Clinic, I, Dickson Marlow, will not walk back on my promise," Dickson swore.The Maximus family members chortled at his reply.They knew for a fact that Atlas was an early-stage Transcendent Realm martial artist. On the other hand, Felix was just a martial artist in the Physical Refinement Realm. The outcome was already obvious.The Maximus family would prefer to bring Felix with them without laying a finger on him. After all, it wasn't their intention to offend those from Harmony Clinic, as that would mean insulting most alchemists in the industry. That might impede the growth of the Maximus family members in martial arts.Dickson's prior analysis was on point—even if he got into a fight with the Maximus family, they wouldn't kill him. The most they would do was to paralyze him so they could take Felix.If they killed Dickson, they would get into huge trouble with Harmony Clinic."Do you agree with that, Felix?" Dickson seemed exasperated after

Inside the black smog was a perilous situation. The black mist seemed alive, stretching out countless tentacles that charged at Felix."Dancing Dragon!" Felix let out another command.The battle raged inside the smog. But outside, Atlas stood with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his lips."Mr. Marlow, don't worry. I have it under control. I won't kill him."Although he didn't receive a response from Dickson, it didn't dampen Atlas' confidence in winning the battle.This was his most powerful technique. When Obsidian Sky was unleashed, even an early-stage Transcendent Realm practitioner of the same level would suffer defeat on the spot. Middle-stage Transcendent practitioners would struggle to defend against it. As for Felix, so what if he had trained in the Dragon Destroyer technique? The Maximus family was a formidable force among martial artists.Suddenly, they heard a soft sound as a gap appeared in the black smog. Something surged out from inside.Atlas' expression c

The battle was raging on the other side, but Felix was not having it easy either.Five elders from the Maximus family had arrived after him. Two of them, at the late-stage of the Transcendent Realm, teamed up to fight Dickson, while the other three, at the middle-stage of the Transcendent Realm, launched an attack on Felix."You guys really have no shame. You're two realms above me, and still, you gang up on me three-to-one!" Felix had launched his Lone Paragon technique and was struggling to keep up."Just shut up. Your fate is sealed," one of them sneered.They didn't even acknowledge Felix's victory from the earlier fight, so why would they care about the ethics of ganging up on him?A few minutes later, Dickson was injured from the fight, while Felix was still desperately holding on. The fact that Felix was still in the fight alarmed the three middle-stage Transcendent Realm elders from the Maximus family.They thought, "Damn it, what's going on with this kid? Even if he laun

"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 2
By the time Felix stepped out of his room, everyone was already gone. With his departure, his fellow apprentices likely wouldn't stay in Eden Village either.Thinking about it made Felix fume. Three years ago, Gerald had brought him here and then disappeared without a trace. It was utterly irresponsible of him.The sounds of knocking pulled Felix from his thoughts.He looked up to see several unfamiliar faces standing at the courtyard gate. Even though the gate was open, they hadn't entered, showing some degree of politeness.Felix walked over and noticed a few Mercedes G-Wagons parked outside the clinic. Evidently, these were wealthy individuals."Excuse me. Is the miracle doctor here?" asked a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. His name was Vincent Kinsley."The miracle doctor left this place almost three years ago."Vincent's face fell. The miracle doctor was a legend in Dragonia's medical world. He was their last hope, and now, he was gone.Besi

While Xena loved Curtis dearly and had tried every means to cure him, a troubling thought crept into her mind: she hoped he wouldn't wake up at this moment.That was because Felix was insufferable. Not only was he useless, but he also dared to act superior in front of a goddess of war like her. He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with.Felix didn't respond to her condescending remarks. Instead, he rushed over to check Curtis' pulse, his expression growing serious. "It's the Phantom Poison. No wonder."Xena frowned. "Are you saying Grandpa's been poisoned?""That's right. It's the most potent Phantom Poison there is. If it had been detected earlier, I could have neutralized it immediately. But it's been over a year, and it has become more complicated."We need some rare herbs to treat it. Thankfully, the master healers you contacted did a decent job. Though they couldn't remove the poison, they managed to keep him alive."Xena's expression twisted with a mix of emotions. "Lo

"Please, Dr. Fielding! Save my father. I'll give anything!" Vincent pleaded desperately.Bernard's life was crucial for the family, and as his son, Vincent was willing to do whatever it took.Xander sighed. "Your father will not make it through the night. But since I'm here, you have another option. I can extend his life by a month. Decide quickly."Before Vincent could respond, Bernard croaked out with great struggle, "D-Do it."Vincent quickly agreed. Prolonging Bernard's life for a month was better than losing him now.Meanwhile, Wendy had slipped out of the room, looking visibly torn as she held her phone. She remembered the phone number Felix had given them earlier that day due to her sharp memory."Grandpa, I'll do anything for you," she murmured, her face set with determination.…At a certain residential area in Avesburgh, Felix stood in front of a three-story villa, feeling a mix of emotions. It had been three years since he last saw Warren Quinton.Warren had been hi
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 5
The Quintons turned to Felix, each with different emotions. Warren felt an inexplicable excitement, whereas Nattie's and Sasha's faces were full of contempt."Felix, you've really learned a thing or two in the past three years," Nattie remarked, her tone dripping with sarcasm despite the seemingly complimentary words."A Rolls-Royce? Felix, you're amazing. I bet a helicopter will come pick you up the next time," Sasha chimed in with blatant mockery."Uncle Warren, I'll visit you again," Felix said, ignoring their words. He had more pressing matters, as the person with the Miracle Card required immediate aid.As Warren saw Felix out, Nattie and Sasha reluctantly followed. Their expressions shifted slightly upon seeing the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the gate, but they remained unimpressed."Are you Mr. Felix Zeller?" asked a man in a tailored suit and white gloves. He was Marco Jensen, the Kinsley family's chauffeur.Upon Felix's confirmation, Marco opened the car door for him a

Dickson nodded and started to pick his nose. "Oh, this feels great. Well, an alchemist can help, but we have a problem. There are ten alchemists who can cultivate pills for the early-stage and middle-stage Transcendent Realm martial artists. It'll get harder from middle-stage to late-stage—only five alchemists are qualified. "For now, only Bern and Delilah have the ability to cultivate pills needed for mastering the Transcendent Realm. Even then, their success rates are dismally low—out of ten attempts, they're lucky if they manage to produce two pills."Huh? That sounded really incredulous."As an alchemist, you need to understand that the rarer the pills, the more precious the herbs required. Gathering the ingredients for one attempt at cultivation takes a lot of time, effort, and emeralds. Factor in the slim success rate, and you might walk away empty-handed. That's why so many have failed in their quest to conquer the Transcendent Realm."Felix sank deep into his thoughts. T

"Mr. Marlow, do you not like to drive or sit in cars?" Felix asked with curiosity while he and Dickson ran."I don't like that stuff. It's too high-profile. I prefer traveling by foot, unless I'm traveling in a group. And you should call me Dicky or Dickson instead. 'Mr. Marlow' sounds a little odd."Felix replied, "Sure. How about just 'Marlow' then?"Dickson gave Felix a funny look. "Interesting. Usually, those who are close to me call me Dicky or Dickson. But you're going for Marlow. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me."In reality, Felix felt rather awkward calling someone Dicky, due to its association with the modern slang."By the way, Marlow, where's the headquarters of Harmony Clinic?""It's at the top of Sumera Mountain—rich in herbs. We've gotten the green light from the royalty to build our clinic on that mountain. In fact, we have the right to the entire mountain!"Felix was surprised to learn that Harmony Clinic's headquarters was not set in Martial City. Still, if Harm

Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 978
At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 977
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
