On the other hand, Felix was still running. However, his skills were far from the two Transcendent Realm masters. If it was a one-on-one situation, there might still be a chance, but one-on-two? The result was clear.As he felt his pursuers were approaching, Felix suddenly stopped. He knew that it was useless to continue running. It would waste the remaining time of his Lone Paragon. Besides, the two forbidden lands, Corpse Town and Misty Ridge, were too far from here. He couldn't reuse the same method to survive. Thus, it was best for him to make his final stand. Additionally, it would test the difference between himself and the Transcendent Realm masters.Besides, Felix only dared to act like this because he had the token given by the Protector with him. It gave him some sense of security."Oh? You're not running anymore, boy?" the two masked men mocked as they caught up. Although they looked contemptuous, they were still on high alert. After all, they had never encountered some

The only Transcendent Realm master the masked man had killed was with the Blazing Fist. With just one punch, his opponent was burned to ashes, with no traces left. Therefore, for Felix to withstand such an attack proved how terrifying he was."Drop the act. Just kill me already!" As soon as the two masked men launched a palm strike, Felix wasn't afraid. He immediately crushed the token given by the Protector. There was a red light that opened up and instantly enveloped him.There were two loud bangs as the strikes collided with the light. The two masked men were dumbfounded. "How many trump cards do you have? Isn't this way too much?" They were already driven crazy. After that weird paper figure, what was this red shield now? A minute later, the masked men had their mouths agape in shock. No matter how much they attacked, the shield didn't budge. It took absolutely no damage and didn't move. "Hey, you two, you'll die if you don't leave now!" Felix's voice came from the

In their terror, the two masked figures could only watch as their opponent raised a finger. At that moment, it seemed as if the air itself had stopped moving.They clutched their throats, their expressions twisted in agony as if all the oxygen around them had vanished. Within seconds, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.Felix drew in a sharp breath as he witnessed the scene. Staring at the woman's back and her pale gold dress flowing around her, his mind went blank.Was she a Grandmaster? Or perhaps another master who had achieved the mastery of Transcendent Realm? If she was the latter, her power was terrifying. They both belonged in the same realm, yet she could instantly kill others.Coming to his senses, Felix straightened his back and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for saving me." The figure remained silent, her back still turned. It left Felix feeling awkward and uncertain of what to do next. He wished she would say something.After ten seconds of silence, her voice ra

Cordelia asked, "You must have known my identity for a while. Now that we've met, is there anything you need me to do for you?" Felix smiled softly. "No need. I'll seek justice with my own hands. If you could have helped earlier, you would have, right?" Felix was truly brilliant, and Cordelia was delighted at such a realization. He was indeed her and Victor's son."The attack on you was ordered by the King, carried out by the fourth and sixth princes. Felix, your presence threatens the balance the royal family has maintained for years." Felix's brow furrowed as realization dawned. "Are you talking about alchemy?" "Exactly. Specifically, the Ascension Pill that creates masters of the Transcendent Realm. The royal alchemists' success rate may not be the highest, but it far exceeds both Bern and Madam Goddard. That's why there are so many masters in the royal family. "Your emergence means more powerful warriors outside royal control. What if they rebel one day? The royal family

Only when the voice rang out did everyone notice someone had approached. They were all shocked. After all, their power should have detected any presence. Their amazement doubled when they saw it was Felix who had lifted Lloyd by the throat. "Felix! How are you still alive?" Lloyd was the most dramatic, his eyes filled with disbelief. Then, realizing his situation, he panicked. "Help me! Help me!" Despite consuming several pills, his body was still exhausted from using all his trump cards. He could barely move his fingers and speak more clearly than before. In every other way, he was in an utterly vulnerable situation.Just as the other three were about to move, a crisp snap echoed. Lloyd's neck went limp as Felix casually tossed him to the ground. "What's wrong? You're allowed to try killing me, but I'm not allowed to kill?" Without hesitation, the remaining three masters fled. They were clever enough not to separate, running in the same direction. Otherwise, they might ha

"Felix is right. We should head to Imperial City." Deborah felt helpless. All she could do now was worry about Felix. Even with several masters of Transcendence Realm backing them, challenging the royal family would be futile. As they continued their journey, Felix asked, "Madam Goddard, have you or Mr. Earnhart Senior ever met the royal alchemists?" The question made Deborah frown as she answered, "Yes. We've met them and know who they are, but their pill-forming rate remains a mystery." Her body tensed when she finished speaking."Are you saying the royal family attacked because they feared your presence would affect Martial City's Ascension Pill production?" When Felix nodded, Deborah, Ezra, and the others immediately grasped the implications."That explains how the royal family maintained so many masters of Transcendence Realm over the years. They must have eliminated any alchemist they thought could produce advanced pills at a higher rate." Everyone understood withou
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1055
Though unsure why Felix asked about this, Deborah answered, "We certainly do. Many attempt to steal pills or herbs from Harmony Clinic. Once caught, they fall under our jurisdiction. "So far, we've used them all as test subjects for our pills." This was perfect. Felix's newly formed plan could work. "Madam Goddard, since the royal family is so relentless, they'd kill openly in the city. Thus, nowhere is truly safe for me." He realized he had been naive earlier for wanting to rely on Cordelia's token and his own abilities while staying in the city. Shepherd's words had struck home. What if the royal family sent one of their most terrifying masters of Transcendent Realm to kill him? That would lead to two outcomes: either his death or Cordelia appearing publicly to save him. Their relationship would become known throughout Martial City. Even if others remained clueless, how could the royal family not figure it out?The danger would only escalate then. "So, what do you propose?
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1056
Hearing Andre's words, Felix asked, "And what if I had a way? One that guaranteed the royal family couldn't find me." Andre smiled. "If you really do, Shepherd and I will help you put on a show." Behind the wheel, Shepherd sighed. "Why drag me into this?" "Stop complaining! After this failed attempt, the royal family will contact you. Am I right?" Everyone in Martial City knew Shepherd valued profit above all else—at least to the ones in the car. Andre's words rang true."Fine. We'll put on a show. I'll be the good guy just for once," Shepherd agreed. Deborah smirked. Playing the good guy? He simply saw better odds backing Felix than the overbearing royal family.…In Imperial City, Zayn's face darkened as he hung up the phone. "Ean! Have you heard? The six masters of Transcendent Realm failed. It feels like a nightmare." Ean Palmer remained notably calmer, contemplating before speaking, "It seems Felix has multiple ways to save himself. Or perhaps Deborah arranged a hid

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
