The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1147
Ever since Felix learned that the Ancient Sage was actually Gerald's half-brother, he had been feeling conflicted. Yet, for some reason, he could not bring himself to ask Gerald about it—not because he was afraid, but because something inside him hesitated. Now, hearing that Averill also knew about it, he immediately perked up. At least he was not alone in this anymore. He urged, "Averill, hurry up and tell me."Averill flashed a sweet smile. "Aren't we Mr. Hoffman's family? I don't see why you're getting so worked up."Felix was instantly disappointed. But as much as that answer frustrated him, he could not deny the truth in it. Hence, he simply muttered, "Yeah… We are his family."Still, if they were family, then why had Gerald placed seals on all nine of his senior apprentices? What was the reason behind it?"Alright! Enough of small talk," Averill said, stretching lazily. "Eat up, and after dinner, I'm coming over to your place. I've got skills to show off."Felix sighed

Felix went back to work. There were plenty of late-night diners, and even though Yadiel's men were already stationed across the city, nothing beat sheer luck when it came to running into the right target.The A-tier Malevolent Phantoms in Notura City had already killed dozens of people. If they were not taken out soon, they would become a massive problem.…When Felix arrived at a seafood restaurant for a pickup, the staff reminded him, "Take it easy on the ride. This order's not cheap.""What's the address?" he asked.As he turned to leave, he overheard the servers murmuring behind him. "This customer is so weird. We have our own delivery staff, but they insisted on using an outside service instead."Nonetheless, Felix did not care about those. Soon, he reached a five-star hotel and set the order down at the front desk, planning to take a quick glance around before heading out. Just then, the receptionist called out to him."Hey, the guest in Room 1002 specifically requested th

"Malevolent Phantoms!" That was Felix's first thought. What these two women were saying and what they were about to do were all too similar to how Malevolent Phantoms operated.He wondered if the surveillance cameras outside had already been taken out. Then again, that did not quite fit the Malevolent Phantoms' style, though. Besides, it was too reckless just for a meal—there was no real reason for them to take such a risk.Eventually, Felix replied, "Sorry. I'm allergic to oysters."The two women exchanged glances before one of them casually reached for her purse. She pulled out a thick stack of cash, looking to be about 10,000 dollars."Then, eat it. If you actually have an allergic reaction, this money is yours—take it and get out."Felix was surprised, unsure what to make of this. Trying to refuse any longer would only seem suspicious, so he picked up an oyster and swallowed it.Within a minute, red spots began appearing on his neck, and he instinctively reached up to scrat

The Webster family of Notura City was not just wealthy—they were power players. But Eunice had only mentioned the part that would pique Felix's interest. In reality, the family's hotel empire was just a fraction of their vast business holdings, which spoke volumes about their status in Notura City.At around 2:40 pm, in the sprawling front courtyard of a massive estate, Eunice stood waiting alongside another young woman as a car was sent to pick up Felix."Eunice, I really appreciate this." The girl beside Eunice had delicate features and gave off a quiet, reserved air. She wore a sporty, casual outfit, her twin ponytails making her look even younger than she was. She was Donna Webster, a direct descendant of the Webster family and the most beloved granddaughter of Albert Webster himself.Eunice replied, "Donna, don't even mention it. Honestly, I just got lucky. Otherwise, I never would've met someone this extraordinary."Donna had already heard stories about Felix's miraculous
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1151
Felix glanced at Eunice, searching for answers. Even with his trained eye, the woman standing before them was an exact copy of Donna—down to the smallest detail. There was not a single difference.However, Eunice looked just as confused. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Donna, it's me, Eunice."That single sentence ruled out the possibility of a twin. If Donna had a sister, Eunice would have known.Meanwhile, Donna studied them both for a moment. Then, without saying a word, they turned and walked out of the room. Her reaction left Felix and Eunice completely bewildered.She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller. I have no idea what's going on, either."If even Eunice was clueless, that meant something truly bizarre was happening. A strange thought crossed Felix's mind—Malevolent Phantom.Only Malevolent Phantoms had the ability to mimic anyone perfectly, and even Felix, a Grandmaster, could not tell them apart by energy alone. But typically, when a Malevolent Phantom replaced s

The girl, Stacy Barnes, looked completely unimpressed, as if Felix's phone call was nothing more than a pointless attempt to save himself from getting embarrassed. In her mind, no matter who he called, he would still end up leaving in embarrassment.On the other end of the call, Silas fell silent for a moment before letting out a bitter chuckle. "Just got back and already swamped, huh? Well, let's catch up when you're free. So, you found out I took in a new apprentice?"Felix raised a brow. "Yeah. What's the story there?"Silas hesitated before sighing. "It just kind of happened. Maybe I was just looking for something to take my mind off Zara."Felix knew how much Silas cared for Zara, and he had no doubt about that. He replied, "Zara's fine. She made it through the worst of it, and she'll be back to full health soon."He had been so busy since returning that he had completely forgotten to update Silas about Zara's condition. When he left Martial City, he had checked in on her—her

Felix had never heard of the title "legendary healer" before. Stacy asked, "Aren't you Mr. Felix Zeller, the legendary healer?"Felix was puzzled. "Yes, I'm Felix Zeller, but I have no idea what a legendary healer is." Stacy suddenly became excited. "Oh, my God! I'm actually standing in front of the legendary healer! Even Mr. Lemuel Morris, the number one master healer, admitted that his skills couldn't compare to yours. "Ever since the title of Miracle Doctor was established, you've been recognized as the strongest master healer alive!"The entire room fell into stunned silence. Even Eunice had never expected that the man she randomly met on a plane was the very same legendary healer who had shaken the entire Dragonia two years ago.No one had ever seen him, and no one knew what he looked like. Yet today, he was standing right in front of them."All that legendary healer nonsense doesn't matter." Felix sighed. He thought Lemuel and the others were really getting caught up

The man said, "Flip the last card. No matter what it is, you'll get at least 500 dollars. If you refuse, I'm giving you a bad review. Do it right now."Since Felix had already fully committed to his food delivery role, he knew just how devastating a bad review could be. There was no choice—he had to play along. He said, "Alright."The hotel suite was filled with six people gathered around a poker table, playing Hold'em. Felix was not an expert but knew enough to understand what was happening.Four community cards had already been revealed—A, A, K, K—and the young man who pulled Felix in was demanding that he flip the final card. Judging by the stacks of poker chips on the table, this was no small bet. Why they were letting a delivery guy reveal the last card was anyone's guess.Felix flipped over the final community card with everyone watching—another Ace. The young man burst into laughter, shouting, "Four of a kind! I got four Aces!"He slammed his cards onto the table, his exc

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1563
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
