Since the prison had no ties to Guneria, Felix did not mind causing a scene there. Luna added, "I've managed to bribe someone inside the prison who can provide intelligence at any time."Felix felt moved. "Thank you for doing all this, Luna." He remembered seeing her text messages when checking his phone earlier, asking him to reach out upon his return. It seemed this was the reason why. "I'd do anything for you."Though the timing felt wrong, Felix spoke up, "I'm married now. Her name is Nerissa."To his surprise, Luna smiled. "Thank you for telling me. I never dreamed we could be together. What we have is already precious enough. It left the deepest mark on my life." Felix sighed to himself. Matters of the heart were the most troublesome, yet sometimes circumstances left no choice."When the time comes to rescue Elliott, I'll let you know," Felix told her as the plane began its landing approach. He needed to find Melissa and Ronan first. "Okay. Please be careful," Luna

On the television sat a woman, her face devoid of expression. Anyone who saw her would be struck first by her royal bearing. Words like beautiful or gorgeous fell short. She commanded a presence like a queen, which would make anyone feel inadequate in comparison.But Felix did not feel that way. His jaw dropped, eyes filled with utter disbelief. The woman on the screen was none other than his fellow apprentice, Eloise. Felix knew no one could impersonate Eloise. Few had ever met her, let alone possessed the ability to mimic her demeanor. "Eloise?" His question betrayed his inner turmoil. "Felix." When the woman on screen responded, Felix lost all composure. He wished desperately that this was just a dream rather than reality. Eloise was the Grand Cardinal of the Westerio Order? Did that mean she had founded the organization? But why? No wonder they knew everything about him—it all made sense now."Leave us," she commanded.The Scarlet Cardinal bowed and left the room,

Felix knew about this. All of his nine fellow apprentices indeed practiced different techniques, and Gerald had said those exact words. "Five years ago, I discovered a technique perfectly suited for me by chance, far more powerful than what I practiced then. Eventually, I couldn't resist trying it. I thought I could seek Mr. Hoffman's help if anything went wrong, but nothing happened."Felix felt utterly helpless. "So, you took such extreme measures over this?" Perhaps Gerald had his reasons for lying about other martial arts techniques, but surely this reaction was excessive. "Felix, do you think I'm that petty? If it were just that, of course not. My progress with that technique was remarkable."Over two years ago, I reached its highest level. That's when I discovered a seal on my body." Felix froze. He recalled Kevin's words during their battle in Martial City about what would happen if his nine fellow apprentices broke their seals. Could it be true?"I confronted Mr. Hof

Felix felt like crying. After everything he had been through, his feelings for Gerald were beyond words. "Mr. Hoffman, I took another mentor in Martial City. Her name is Deborah Goddard, and she taught me pill cultivation. You won't mind, will you?" Gerald laughed and said, "Why would I? Pill cultivation will be extremely useful to you. If you hadn't taken up on her offer, I'd be the one punishing you." Then, Felix thought of something. "Mr. Hoffman, do you have any photos from when you were young?" "Why?""I want to see how handsome you were back then.""Hah! I'm enjoying the flattery. I was quite the charmer in my youth. My smile would make any girl swoon. But no, I don't have any photos, so don't bother asking." Felix had hoped to confirm if Gerald was the Ancient Sage Cordelia had mentioned, but that seemed unlikely now. Finally, he went on to the main topic. "I met Eloise."Gerald had been humming cheerfully on the other end, but the tune stopped at Felix's words."I

"Hey! Hand over all your money, or we'll shoot you dead." The cab driver snickered, clearly in on it. Felix was exasperated. The saying about not flashing wealth was true indeed, especially in unfamiliar cities. Of course, he was not scared, but this was a waste of time. "Go ahead and shoot me then." His response stunned them all. They had never encountered such a request. In Guneria, incidents like these happened far too often. One couldn't expect the safety of home here—people really would shoot. Sure enough, one of the men pulled the trigger. Almost simultaneously, Felix raised his right hand, catching the bullet between two fingers. The sight turned the three men to stone, stunning them. None of them had ever seen someone catch bullets with bare hands. If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, who would believe it? "My God! It's Havarian martial arts; run!" Two fled immediately, while the driver scrambled away, abandoning his car. This showed just how terrified they w

It was already past eight when Felix left the club, which was long after nightfall. Felix raced through the city streets. Luna's life was in danger, so this was the fastest option. According to Luna, she had accompanied a client to an amusement park. The thrill-seeking client tried everything from roller coasters to other rides before suggesting they enter the park's haunted house. That was where the horror began. Luna described seeing a monster without eyes or a nose, but with three gaping mouths filled with saw-like teeth. Instead of ears, it had two dark brown arms that could extend and contract. She was hiding somewhere in the haunted house. She had not been found yet, but she was terrified and uncertain of her safety. That was why she called Felix for help. Without question, this was a Malevolent Phantom. What puzzled Felix was how Luna could see its true form without knowing the soul-reading forbidden technique. Was it some innate ability? Another possibility was that t

Felix wanted to call Xena and ask if he could kill this type. She had mentioned that A-tier Malevolent Phantoms who killed for pleasure could be eliminated, as letting them live would result in countless deaths. "You're a martial artist from Dragonia!" In less than a second, the Phantom charged again with fully regenerated legs. But it stopped at its previous position without attacking rashly. "Now that you know, why not leave?" Felix retorted.The Phantom's three mouths moved continuously. "Leave? You'll still die. When I came in here, I was shot over a dozen times. After your attack, my recovery rate is at its peak. You won't escape." Felix smiled. "Who said anything about escaping? Why not just kill you?" The Phantom burst into laughter again. "Haha! Kill me? You humans know so little about us, yet you think you can kill me? Come on then, let's see if you have what it takes." Felix took out the small flute Billy had given him and began to play. The A-tier Phantom proved

The purple-haired woman stood still while watching Felix without expressionlessly, as if examining something. Felix grew tense. This woman did not feel alive, yet she wasn't dead either. She was not exuding any essence at all. As a Grandmaster, he could sense everyone's unique essence after a single encounter, but this woman was different. She was totally untraceable. Was this the mysterious S-tier Malevolent Phantom? Incredible. A minute passed with neither moving. Having never encountered one before, Felix felt extreme danger from their first contact. Better to avoid fighting if possible. The woman licked her lips, then retreated behind the clown statue. When Felix rushed over, she had vanished without a trace. Even he could not tell when or how she had disappeared. "Damn, I can't underestimate these Phantoms." Even with his mastery of Ethereal Constitution, Felix had been extremely tense. That showed just how formidable S-tier Malevolent Phantoms were. Given the situat

"Of course, you're right. All the personal assistants of the chiefs always wear the same burgundy clothes. She was most likely sent to create some buzz around Felix. Fortunately, he asked about it just now."Otherwise, when she showed up, we wouldn't have known what was happening," Xenon told Julius.On the other hand, Felix had no idea about all that. He just followed the lady with his head down. However, he noticed how elegant the lady in front of him was, with her burgundy tights and the sway of her hips just at the right rhythm.After arriving in front of a room, the woman stood by the door. "Head right in."Felix entered and found no one inside. Just as he was about to say something, there was a noise and footsteps. Soon, a man wrapped in a towel came out as he dried his hair."Oh, you're here. Come, have a seat."The man appeared to be in his 50s, with well-defined muscles. Felix thought it was someone from Star Alliance and that everyone might be getting private talks like

Julius and Xenon turned to each other, confused. "No, a name is too little to work with. Even just on your planet, there are too many people with the same name, not to mention the entire universe," they said.Felix knew that he was being vague. "That Yusri, he's like me. He's from Earth, and he once won third in the Rank-Ascending Competition."Julius immediately smiled when he heard this. "Well, that's great then. Not only do we know the Yusri you mentioned, but many people know him!"Xenon sighed. "Yes, Yusri is quite a brilliant person. He was against really strong people during the competition. Otherwise, he would've won that year."So they knew of him. Felix thought about it before deciding that asking wouldn't hurt. "Well, Yusri is now the chief of Star Alliance. He has a bright future ahead," Xenon said. When he realized that Felix might not understand, he added, "In Star Alliance, the Leader is the highest rank. After that, we have the deputy leaders, then the elders.

It would be a lie if Felix said he wasn't touched. He was actually one of the crowd favorites in the competition. This wasn't something he would've ever dared to think about before.After a few glasses of wine, he followed Julius to the massage parlor. Felix felt truly enlightened when he saw what was there—there were really beautiful women in the parlor, all from different races.Some had wings on their backs, some had elven ears. There really was everyone here. "Do you want a private room, or are we sharing a room?" Julius's eyes shone mischievously, and Felix sighed helplessly."Let's share a room, or do you want a private room?"Julius pouted. "I've been here for several days and feel a little tired. As I've guessed, you're probably the type who loves only one woman in life. So sure, let's share a room. Let's get a triple room."A triple room? Felix didn't ask any more questions. Two women were assigned to their rooms, and their techniques were indeed great. People with thei

It would be a lie to say that Lachlan wasn't surprised when he saw Felix. As an Orion, of course, he was aware of the entire situation.Felix was sent to Aquamarinus, a planet that was known for its deadliness.Even a genius would most likely die there. However, Felix succeeded in breaking through. Although his strength had been confirmed indirectly, Lachlan didn't take it seriously. He even told his family that there was no need to cheat.As long as he was there, Felix wouldn't be able to pass his level. Felix sneered, but didn't respond. They just met, and they were already mortal enemies. If they had a chance, they would've killed one another. So why should they even attempt to be civil?"Julius, nothing has happened yet, and you're already kissing his ass?" Lachlan laughed mockingly. Felix stayed silent, so Lachlan couldn't be bothered to mock him. Instead, Lachlan turned to Julius, who smiled."I don't need to report everything I do to you, Lachlan. Just worry about yours

This was something Felix hadn't thought of. The Orions had been too arrogant and thought their people could kill him, but they didn't anticipate the special conditions on Aquamarinus at night. If it wasn't due to that, Felix wasn't sure if he would still be alive now."Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked.Julius looked at him oddly. "My family, the Leachs, are on par with the Orions and developing fast. We don't want any conflicts with you or Earth, so tell me, why wouldn't I make friends with a strong man like you?"Since you can break out of Aquamarinus, you have the qualifications to win. At least for now, the champions of the elimination rounds in the Rank-Ascending Competition are extraordinary people."He continued, "I'm just offering help now. Once you succeed in the future, you can help me, right? I have nothing to lose, so why not try?"Felix understood his reasons. In this case, he was completely alone, and making acquaintances with the Leachs was good."How hard

As soon as Julius entered, Felix turned on the soundproof barrier and asked impatiently, "How do you know I'm from Earth?"Everyone here was a stranger, and the distance between each of their hometowns was over hundreds of thousands of miles. How could Julius tell where Felix was from so accurately?Julius looked a little helpless. "Your name is Felix, and your elimination match was on Aquamarinus. Of course, I know you're from Earth."Well, that was quite the redundant answer."No, listen to what I have to say."After motioning for Felix to sit down, Julius continued, "In the Rank-Ascending Competition, some people in power can actually cheat within the rules. Have you heard of the Orion family?"Before Felix could answer, Julius had already guessed the answer based on his gaze. "Heh, seems like Earth isn't as barbaric as everyone thought. Since you're familiar with the Orion family, it will make things easier for me."Well, you got the right information. The Orion family is th

The guide said, "This is where the selected contestants rest. The yard is huge and has everything you need. As long as you don't leave this yard, you're free to move around. I'll bring you to your room now."The yard looked huge, with fixtures of bridges and flowing rivers. Felix even passed by a fake mountain. It was large enough for hundreds of people to climb, standing thousands of feet tall and looked quite majestically.No one on Earth or Aquamarinus could have built such a luxurious residence. Felix could even see a bar and massage parlor, showing how indispensable technology was in the universe. His room was luxurious, around 2000 square feet, and was decorated with traditional but modern touches. "This is your room. I'll take my leave now, goodbye." The young man left with a bow. Felix turned around and stood on the patio. Outside his room was a large lake, with even fish swimming inside."A new neighbor? Did you just arrive today?" The sudden voice came from the patio

Felix arrived at the location of one of Nine Flames, where the guards instantly collapsed, their eyes rolling back as they fainted.By now, darkness had arrived. He walked forward without any hesitation, his right hand touching the flame.There was no need for any special tools. The flame simply vanished, and only Felix knew that it was absorbed in an instant by his Starmark.With the disappearance of the flames, people in many places immediately dropped to their knees.The light that should have lasted throughout the night vanished, and the darkness of Desolated Lands descended almost instantly. Every light went out in an instant.Screams echoed everywhere, and panic spread like wildfire. Even though their loved ones were close by, they couldn't see them with their eyes and could only communicate through voice.Scenes like this were unfolding in many places, even in Cloud City."It's really started," Eira said. She was in Cloud City. Although Luigi was standing on her left, h

Despite Thiago's murderous glare and overwhelming killing intent, Felix wasn't scared. In fact, it made him smile.Due to the unique trait of the Dragon Rebirth, his opponent had to harbor a true desire to kill him in order for Felix to grow stronger. Otherwise, it would all be meaningless. At least so far, everything was unfolding just as he expected.Meanwhile, Holt was silently praying like crazy as he lay on the ground. The battle had already begun, and his companion had understood his message. This was their only shot, however slim, at killing Felix.As time passed and the afternoon crept past 3:00 pm, his companion started to falter. His attacks were growing sluggish. He hadn't been injured, but he was clearly on the defensive now.Seeing this, Felix completely lost interest. Once his opponent lost the will to kill him, the Dragon Rebirth would no longer grow.Still, the battle wasn't for nothing. He'd made solid progress and was a little closer to becoming a Celestial Realm
