The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1134
Just as Sarah had observed, Felix had already adjusted his mindset. Thinking about things within his grasp was fine, but obsessing over matters beyond his control would be nothing short of foolish.As night fell, Felix arrived in Notura City. With the rising number of disappearances and deaths here, he figured it would not be solved in just a day or two. This time, he would need a bit of luck.Opening a clinic would work. After all, spending all day in one place would make it impossible to stumble upon anything.Since his Ethereal Constitution had been successfully formed, he did not need to train deliberately, and the Phaeron Codex was progressing steadily on its own. So, with plenty of free time, Felix decided to find a more flexible job. Wandering the streets or aimlessly driving around would not get him far.Before long, Felix arrived at the three-story villa Xena had arranged in a quiet neighborhood. After punching in the code and stepping inside, he called out."Finally! I c

Billy was clearly in too much of a hurry. He blurted out, "It's a coincidence! Pure coincidence! Here—I'm not gonna take advantage of you for nothing. Take this book and study it. It'll give you a solid foundation in soul-related knowledge."With that, Billy tossed a worn, coverless book onto the table and bolted like a madman, as if the Phaeron Codex might vanish if he did not get there in time.Felix still had his doubts, but his curiosity shifted toward the book. He sat down, opened it, and began reading.It did not take long for him to realize he had struck gold. The book's contents revealed the mysteries of the soul with stunning clarity, finally pulling him out of the dark."Wait... there are so many levels when it comes to the soul? Did I just jump straight to the higher ranks?"With the successful formation of his Ethereal Constitution, his soul had already surpassed most who spent years training. Even those with natural talent would struggle to reach this stage so quickly

The man shouted, "Take her!"Felix stood to the side, looking a bit helpless. Suzie's kind gesture made him feel somewhat guilty, so he spoke up without hesitation. "How much for her first time?"The man with green hair chuckled. "You're just a broke loser who eats street food. Dreaming about playing with a beauty like her? Get lost."Felix retorted, "How much? What if I can actually pay?"The green-haired man sneered, though curiosity flickered in his eyes. "100 thousand dollars! Now get the hell out."Felix calmly pulled out his phone. "How much to buy her freedom completely?"The man's smile instantly vanished. The next second, he grabbed Felix by the collar, shoving him back as he snarled, "You just can't take a hint, can you? You really want to get your face smashed in?"Felix's expression remained unfazed. In his eyes, problems that could be solved with money were not real problems."I'll pay 200 thousand dollars for her first time. Give me your account number, and I'll

Felix was irritated—after all, who would not be with a gun pointed at their head? Of course, for most people, the feeling would be sheer terror.Still, he did not act recklessly. In Dragonia, guns were mostly carried by law enforcement, and he did not want to risk harming an undercover officer by mistake. To his surprise, the person holding the gun was Milo. He remembered her well from the days of the Martial Arts Competition—she was a close friend of Ronan's.He blurted out, "Milo?"Milo closed the door and lowered the gun, her expression as calm as ever. She wore simple jeans and a T-shirt, and the sword she was once known for was nowhere in sight."Never thought our first meeting after your return would be under circumstances like this," he added.Once Milo confirmed that it was Felix, she let out a small sigh and stated, "Ronan—" Felix raised a hand to cut her off. "Don't worry about Ronan. I promise he'll come back safe in a year. He's with my sister now. Other than losin

As soon as Milo left, Suzie hesitated for a moment before speaking nervously. "I'm sorry, sir. Did I make your girlfriend misunderstand? I can explain everything to her if you want."She had only caught a few glimpses of Milo but already felt completely out of place. With that kind of beauty and presence, Milo was the kind of woman who could leave others breathless—maybe only someone like her was truly worthy of a good man like Felix.Felix replied, "It's fine. Besides, she's not my girlfriend."A few minutes later, the guy with Eddy showed up, perfectly embodying the phrase "money talks". His eager, bootlicking smile was not fake—it was the real deal."Sir, is Suzie refusing to cooperate?" he asked, shooting Suzie a nasty glare. If Felix had not been there, he probably would have gone straight to roughing her up.Felix replied, "No. Suzie told me she owes you guys money. With the interest, it's up to half a million now, right? I already paid 200 thousand—I'll cover the remaining
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1139
Eddy froze, completely thrown off by the question. However, he did not dare delay, quickly responding, "Mr. Bennett, wasn't it half a million dollars?"Draco let out a cold snort. "Pathetic. You're so short-sighted. I know exactly what happened."That stranger forked over half a million to buy Suzie's freedom—someone willing to pay that much without hesitation definitely has more. And you just handed over the contract without trying to squeeze a single extra dime out of him? What a damn waste."So that was what this was about. Eddy was even more confused now—if they demanded more, he figured Felix would realize what they were doing. Plus, Suzie knew the exact amount of the debt."Tomorrow, take some guys and bring Suzie back," Draco ordered, his tone sharp. "That kid's a walking goldmine. I want to see how much more we can milk out of that rich idiot."Eddy's stomach twisted with unease. Summoning some courage, he said, "Mr. Bennett, that guy dropped half a million without blinkin

Felix thought Milo's explanation made sense. They chatted for a little while longer before Milo left Notura City.After she was gone, Felix sat at home, deep in thought. Since the Malevolent Phantoms's hunting ground was clearly hotels, maybe Eddy could actually be useful. Felix could not be everywhere at once, and without any pattern to the Malevolent Phantoms's hotel selection—even small motels had been targeted—there were simply too many places to cover.He mumbled, "It looks like it's time to implement my plan. I need a job that allows me to work in hotels."The only job that came to mind was food delivery. Delivery drivers had access to hotels, motels, and inns across the city without raising suspicion.Just as Felix was stepping out, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. Confused, he answered."Hello, sir," said the voice on the other end. "This is about the payment you made last night at the barbecue stand. There seems to be an issue. Could you come by for

Felix had not planned on responding at first. After all, what he did back then was just a spur-of-the-moment decision—he never expected any kind of reward or follow-up.Nonetheless, now that an A-tier Malevolent Phantom was in the picture, it seemed that Eunice might actually come in handy. So, he asked, "You're probably someone with status here in Notura City, right?" Eunice froze for a moment before quickly responding with sincerity, "I'd say I have some influence, but if you need something, I'll do everything I can to help."Felix replied, "I'm Felix Zeller."Hearing his name, Eunice could not help but feel a little excited. This had never happened before—men were always the ones approaching her first, but this time, the roles were completely reversed.Felix added, "If you want to repay me, it's really simple. Do you know any big shots in Notura City's underground scene?"The underground scene? Eunice's mind went blank for a second. She felt like Felix was not playing by any

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
