The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1259
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

Justin went into a maniacal laugh. "Kill him quickly! His soul must be incredibly delicious." Slowly lifting Justin's head, the young man's eyes turned ice-cold. "Do I need you to tell me how to do things? While I can't kill you, I know plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead if you say another word."Justin was terrified, so he immediately shut his mouth. He probably would not dare to say a word again. Suddenly, a phone rang. The young man pulled out his phone. He sighed before even answering, then tucked it back in his pocket. "You little brat, try to attack me again, and I won't care about Donna's feelings!" He tossed Justin's head to the ground and strolled away, humming a tune. Justin panicked. "Save me! You can't abandon me!" Felix's face darkened. He instantly killed Justin, then stood frozen in place. Though the encounter with the S-tier Malevolent Phantom was brief, he was genuinely scared. Even with the Lone Paragon activated, would he stand a chance agains

Felix stood pondering. Donna's warning about not visiting Laurel Resort meant notable danger. They were working together, and if something happened to Felix, they would need a new vessel for the Mystical Explosive Orb. She had invested so much time finding someone like Felix, whose soul essence collection abilities were solid. Naturally, she would not want to switch easily. But what could be the danger at that resort? Unable to stay passive, he immediately called Xena. He did not even care about how late it was already. It was something they were all used to anyway. As expected, she answered after a few rings. She sounded like she had been woken up. "What is it?" Felix's late-night call immediately put her on alert. "Does headquarters have any information about Laurel Resort?" After a few seconds, Xena responded, "No. What information did you get?" "Just check it for me." "Okay." He also notified the headquarters' local Monaire representative about the bodies. They co

Milo said, "Exactly. A nation protects its people. When things get serious, nobody can stay safe. Even hiding in the mountains won't guarantee your security. "Martial artists do carry a legacy of duty." After chatting with Milo, Felix left. Milo and Melinda were heading to the airport. Since their mission was done, they needed rest. Felix could not provide any updates on the investment in Yolanda's company yet. After all, a 50-billion-dollar deal would take more than a day to assess. No one would believe a snap decision. When he was leaving the hotel, Lars' call came through. It was surprisingly early for a rich young man like him to call. "What's up, Mr. Lennings?" "We've got a problem. The Meyers are planning to crush Yolanda's family today. What should we do?" What? That was lightning-fast. The Zuckerbergs were already on the edge. One more push from the Meyers, and they'd collapse before Felix's "think tank" could even consider investing. Of course, Felix was not go

Zachariah's face darkened. Felix's arrogance was getting out of hand. He thought, "Alright, then. I'll have my father know about this—we'll show you how even someone like Fifteenth Overlord couldn't help you." Initially, they would have shown some professional courtesy. But Felix's bold attitude immediately changed his approach. After entering the living room, Zachariah whispered something to Colton, then glared viciously at Felix before sitting down. Louise began making polite small talk with Colton, carefully avoiding the real purpose of his visit. When the moment felt right, he spoke up, "Mr. Meyer, I have a small favor. This young man and I have a family connection. I'm asking you to consider the Zuckerberg family's situation. "Could you do me a favor and let this go? Of course, he and Zachariah had a minor conflict. But that's just typical young people stuff." Colton laughed. "How can I refuse? But my family has a reputation. Their conflict has already spread through M

FSince the start, Felix sat there without saying a word. The moment he arrived, he had already expanded his domain, yet he could not find anyone matching Fifteenth Overlord's description. As he watched the Meyers father-son duo, their reactions confirmed his suspicion—the man was not home. Since that was the case, the only option was to tie these two up and wait.Just as the Fifteenth Overlord's killing intent grew stronger, a voice suddenly rang out. "Releasing such intense bloodlust in my house? Looks like I've been too nice to you."Before the words had even faded, a figure abruptly appeared in the living room. His face was covered, leaving only a pair of piercing eyes visible."Uncle Chris!" Zachariah was ecstatic, immediately pointing at the Fifteenth Overlord. "He's trying to kill us!"The moment their backup arrived, relief washed over the father and son, their eyes now burning with unrestrained vengeance."I thought you weren't home," the Fifteenth Overlord said, but he

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
