Yolanda said, "Are you satisfied now? We've not only failed to get Zachariah's help, but we've also made an enemy. If the Meyers decide to attack our families, how long do you think we can survive?" Lars hadn't expected Felix to be so aggressive. He kept his head down without a word, knowing he had made a mistake. But Felix tried to help clarify things. "Calm down, Yolanda. Lars told me everything. I've already called my dad, and his think tank is analyzing your family's situation. I think they'll probably invest." Yolanda stared at Felix in disbelief. "Are you serious?" "Absolutely. With your family's survival on the line, why would I lie? Everything depends on my dad's assessment, of course. 50 billion dollars isn't pocket change. "You helped me once, and we're classmates. You should have told me about this earlier. How could I just watch you suffer and not help?" Felix smiled and said, "I can guarantee that if we invest, your dad will still run the company. We won't inte

Felix felt awkward. He had been so confident, and then, Lars dropped the bombshell. He added, "But wait. You guys were just talking about how powerful Fifteenth Overlord is. How could he be useless against the Meyers?" Yolanda looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know Fifteenth Overlord?" Last night, her father, Giveon Zuckerberg, had asked Rick to request Louise's help. But she had held no hope—Rick was a nobody to them, after all. Even Ben, who worked under Louise, wouldn't even give him a second glance. Yet somehow, things had worked out. She felt like someone had been secretly helping her behind the scenes.Now that Felix mentioned him, Yolanda started to suspect something. "I don't know him. I figured offering him a billion dollars would make him willing to help." Lars and Yolanda looked exasperated at his words. Money truly talked—Felix was willing to offer a billion dollars just to get Louise's attention.Even if others had considered doing the same, they would eith

Felix then said, "I have something to deal with tonight. Just do it tomorrow, as I said." Louise answered, "Yes, sir!" For Louise, Felix's words were absolute law. After being threatened by that masked mysterious person last time, he was eager for revenge. Just after leaving the meeting place, Felix suddenly furrowed his brows. Among the lackeys he had back then, the only one he had kept was Reagan. He hadn't dismissed him, thinking he might be useful later. But just now, he could sense that their connection had vanished. This could only mean two things. Either Reagan was dead, or he had escaped control. After hesitating, he called Luna. "Felix!"Her voice was filled with excitement, which made Felix feel slightly helpless. "Luna, listen carefully. Confirm the Shadowstalker Emperor's status as quickly as possible. "If he's alive, pack up and come to Dragonia with all of your family immediately. Staying in Astoria is definitely not safe." Luna had helped him a lot. While

An ordinary person would have been scared enough to run away immediately. Apart from the village ahead, the surrounding areas were completely open, with no sign of any person. Anyone would have thought they had encountered a ghost. How could they not run? But Felix was different. He raised his right hand with a frown, and a powerful suction force appeared. The next moment, something from the distance flew toward him rapidly. When he lowered his hand, a woman now stood before him. She seemed to be around 30 years old and fairly attractive."Why are you trying to act all creepy and eerie?" What intrigued him was that the woman showed no fear at all, instead looking arrogantly at him. "I'm trying to save your life. Don't ask questions. Just leave quickly." Felix laughed. "It seems my skills are stronger than yours, right?" Was this woman confused? Did she not understand who was stronger? He could not believe that she was still so deluded even when he had caught her now. Une

The speaker was one of the triplets. Besides them, two other women were standing, with the only person seated being a bald man named Justin Odell. Justin laughed coldly. "You're a short-sighted fool! Look at how pretty and alluring this woman is. Imagine how much food she could bring us." The women immediately began flattering him. "You really have such a great vision, Mr. Odell." "Whatever you say is right." "Yes, we'll definitely listen to you." Justin smiled. "Don't worry. I'll modify your soul slightly so you'll follow my commands obediently." At that moment, Milo felt no fear. She had long been accustomed to life-and-death situations. Ever since becoming a martial artist, she had anticipated such a day. After joining the headquarters to fight Malevolent Phantoms, the chances of dying were naturally even higher. The headquarters' intelligence turned out to be wrong this time. There weren't just three B-tier Malevolent Phantoms in this village. Those two women were a

Felix did not rush after Justin. As long as he was in his domain, escape was impossible. Saving Milo was the priority. Who knew what other Malevolent Phantoms might be lurking? Milo was defenseless in this state, so even a C-tier could take her out. He examined Milo and could tell that her body was fine. Something must have frozen her soul, which was why she could not move.There was no time for treatment now. Soul Manifestation would cost him awareness, and he couldn't afford to drop his guard. "Melinda! Catch Milo and get her out. I'll contact you later!" He tossed Milo toward Melinda at the village entrance and took off after the A-tier Malevolent Phantom. Justin had fully restored his body, escaping from another village direction. Turning back, he sensed something was wrong. "Damn it! This man's a domain expert. I can't run!" Instead of fleeing, he stopped and sprayed a red mist with his mouth that quickly surrounded him. Felix arrived but did not attack immediately. Jus

Felix did not hold back on that punch earlier. Though he did not unleash his Dragon Punches, it packed the full power of a Grandmaster. The fact that it only carved out a bowl-sized hole was pretty telling. Justin was just as shocked. He had unleashed his true form, with that red powder loaded with 90% of his soul energy. Half powered up his body, and the other half created that blocking red light. Yet, he had been wounded after taking only one punch from Felix. That was seriously unbelievable. Knowing he could not afford to let this drag on, Justin's attacks got sharper. Felix did not strike back. He just dodged and watched. That hole was still not healing. Was Justin blocking the recovery on purpose? Or would restoring his body drain a lot of his soul energy?He could have ended this instantly with the Six Word Mantra, which was guaranteed soul obliteration. But Felix never went all out unless absolutely necessary when dealing with Malevolent Phantoms. "Are you done playin

Felix frowned. "What's your deal?" The young man moved with total class, his eyes radiating pure confidence. "Was it hard to understand what I just said? I said you can leave now." Justin sensed something, too, so he screamed, "Help me!" The young man coldly laughed, casually blocking Felix's soul attack with a raised hand. "Are you really going to try something with me here?" The truth was, Felix had zero interest in fighting an S-tier Malevolent Phantom right now. He never wanted to fight against one in the first place. After seeing what Justin could do as an A-tier, he could tell how much more terrifying an S-tier would be.But there was no chance Felix would let his prey walk away that easily. Plus, what confused him was that Donna had mentioned Malevolent Phantoms never fought each other. What was this Phantom thinking? Perhaps he did not have a Mystical Explosive Orb now. Or was he really just trying to save one of his own kind? "I wonder what will happen if I tell D

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
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
