"You little brat! Have you finally remembered your mentor?" Deborah asked.When he heard her voice, Felix felt his nose sting with emotion. Unlike his other mentor, who showed love in a more reserved manner, Deborah was completely open about her affection. While the result was the same, the feeling was undeniably different."I'm sorry, Madam Goddard. I was planning to come see you right away," Felix said.Deborah's condition worried him, especially after his perilous journey to the Echo Cavern, one of the Three Forbidden Lands. Surviving such a place was a miracle in itself, and asking him to recount the experience seemed unnecessary. After all, no one would willingly venture there unless driven by insatiable curiosity or the lure of treasure."I'm doing much better now, so there's no rush. If you really care, though, why don't you focus on fulfilling the promise you made instead?""Promise?" Felix frowned. "I'm not sure I understand, Madam Goddard."The next moment, Deborah's

Seven figures emerged, striding confidently in their direction.The six trailing behind all wore black attire, exuding an oppressive aura. The young man leading the group, however, was even more striking. Dressed in a long golden robe, he radiated authority with every step.Even an ordinary person, seeing such clothing, would immediately recognize him as a member of the royal family. After all, in the entire Martial City, only the royal family dared to don such golden robes. Their royal guards, in contrast, wore imposing black uniforms.Caught off guard by their unannounced arrival, Wilson quickly stepped forward with a wide, welcoming smile."What an honor to have you visit our humble Xavier family, Your Highness. I apologize for not greeting you sooner."Though royalty commanded respect, it was more of a title than actual governance. Kneeling or performing grand ceremonial gestures wasn't customary in such interactions. So, Wilson merely clasped his hands together as a polite gr

Zayn looked visibly displeased. He had never seen Felix before, but he trusted the reports from his subordinates. Felix had definitely entered Echo Cavern, so what was going on now?After separating from Nerissa, Felix turned to Wilson, clasping his hands in respect. "Mr. Xavier, I greet you. I've come today to formally propose marriage and to select the best date to marry Nerissa."Wilson was momentarily stunned, struggling to process what was happening. He even began to wonder if all the talk about Echo Cavern was a joke. Otherwise, how could Felix still be alive? "So, you're the Felix mentioned in the marriage contract?"Felix nodded with a smile. "That's correct. I've come to honor that prenuptial agreement."Before anyone could respond, Zayn's voice cut through. "Westley Xavier, who arranged that prenuptial agreement, hasn't been seen in quite some time. Do you really think that agreement still holds? Even if you miraculously survived Echo Cavern, do you think you're worthy
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1031
The royal family was truly extravagant. They had given generous gifts merely as a meeting present. With just these gifts, anyone in Martial City wouldn't have to worry about food and necessities for the rest of their lives!Wilson's smile indicated that he was satisfied. His gaze was fixed on Felix, ready to say something."Boy, since you foolishly came to propose empty-handed, don't blame me for making an issue out of it!" Wilson thought.On the side, Janet rolled her eyes. Although Felix truly fulfilled his promise like a real man, he lacked emotional intelligence—he had come to propose a marriage empty-handed!However, Nerissa didn't care. She knew what kind of person Felix was, and that was enough."Of course, I didn't come empty-handed, Mr. Xavier. This is my gift." As Felix pulled out a small wooden box, Zayn almost burst out laughing. "Hahaha! You really have no respect for the Xaviers! These types of boxes can only hold three pills at most! Even if it's a high-grade pi

"Felix! I was just testing you, why are you leaving?" Wilson cried out, sweating profusely. There were murderous glares from the elders all around him. Besides, how could he not know how precious the Ascencion Pills were? Now, whatever gifts Zayn had brought were nothing in comparison. If just one pill was auctioned, it would surpass every other treasure! However, only a fool would put it up for auction. "So, you were joking? You really scared me, Mr. Xavier! Is the gift I prepared worthy of your attention, then?" Felix asked in mock concern.Wilson quickly smiled and nodded. "Of course, of course! The three Ascension Pills are absolutely great! It proves that you think highly of my daughter and the Xaviers! Please, take a seat."Just as Felix stepped up, Zayn said bitterly, "Only Harmony Clinic can refine three Ascension Pills in the whole of Martial City. Who are you?"Felix replied casually, "I'm nothing but a humble disciple. Deborah of Harmony Clinic is my mentor!"Every

In the end, Felix explained himself anyway—hoping that Nerissa could understand. Unexpectedly, after hearing it, Nerissa agreed without hesitation."Of course! I'm glad that you even told me about this! There was actually no need for that at all. As expected, men from the capital respect women more. Besides, if you can really cure Nala, you can also take her in."Felix smiled bitterly. Was that something that could be casually said? "Nala is also a gifted girl. I would be very proud of you as your wife if you married her."Fearing that Nerissa would continue saying such obscene things, he quickly went back to the Denverville branch of Harmony Clinic."So, nothing much happened?" Deborah asked.Felix shook his head. "No, just a guy called Zayn Palmer came. He seemed to be the sixth prince from the royal family."When Deborah heard this, she frowned. "The sixth prince? That man is incredibly vengeful, but he is royalty, after all. Without a public conflict, he wouldn't dare act t
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1034
"But even so, I don't dare to give you a definite answer because, besides the capital, there are still several other places that are possible," Dickson said.Felix immediately looked over eagerly. "Several other places?""Yes, the Three Forbidden Lands in Martial City. You were in Echo Cavern at the time, so that can be ruled out. The remaining places are Corpse Town and Misty Ridge." Felix was shocked. "Wouldn't those who enter the Three Forbidden Lands most likely die? Why would they go there?"Dickson stared at him strangely and replied, "Didn't 'you' come out alive? The Three Forbidden Lands just have an outrageous amount of deaths. But it doesn't mean that anyone who enters will die! You must understand that the Maximus family once produced a martial artist with one of the highest combat skills."All in all, it's more or less possible for them to go there."Really? Felix clenched his fists. He could take them on himself if they were truly hiding in the other two Forbidden L

The faces of the Hughmans, which were previously smiling, began to twitch crazily. Fuck, they had asked Nala to come and apologize. Yet, she had turned even more aggressive? Had she gone mad, or was she giving up?"Don't be mad, Joanna. Her mind hasn't been right ever since she came back.""Ms. Yorker, we've been trying to stop her from coming here. Please don't take it to heart."Some apologized, and some wanted to pull Nala away. If she said anything else, there would be no room for redemption, and the follow-up would be violent revenge. The Hughman family would be shakier than ever.If the Yorkers were decisive, it would truly be over for the Hughmans."Settling the past grudges with me? Are you even qualified to now?" Joanna ignored their comments and smiled non-stop as if she was hearing a joke."What? You said it back then, and now you're regretting it?" Nala sneered.When Joanna heard this, she remembered something and laughed even more exaggeratedly. "I almost forgot a

Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate

Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An

"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t

With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual

The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc
