Since Chris had just mentioned Laurel Resort, there was no way Felix could brush that off as a coincidence. Xena's call had come at the perfect time, but this was not the right moment for a deep conversation."Hold on, I'll call you back," he said before hanging up.Felix interrogated Chris for a while longer, then used soul extraction to confirm his story. Once he was satisfied, he dragged Chris back into the living room.Chris called Zachariah and his father over, while Felix sat back in his original seat.The Fifteenth Overlord remained completely calm. With Felix's current level, was there anyone who could truly rival him? Handling Chris was nothing but a trivial matter.No one knew exactly what was said, but within minutes, Zachariah came rushing over, his face pale with fear. He dropped to his knees, drenched in sweat, his former arrogance nowhere to be seen.He begged, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller! I won't ever do it again!"Chris had completely surrendered—what chance did he h

Xena said, "So far, over 200 people have refused to leave Laurel Resort."Felix thought that was an insane number. This situation was definitely more complicated than it seemed.He asked, "What about the staff or family members who've gone to check on them? Have any of them decided to stay?" Xena responded immediately, "No. But Lord Hector ran some tests. He sent a few people in and found that only those who spent the night there were affected. Those who didn't stay overnight weren't influenced at all.""Overnight?" Felix frowned, his mind racing. "There haven't been any reported deaths yet, right?"Xena let out a bitter chuckle. "With over 200 people involved, some of their families don't even want to meet them anymore. And even when we send people in, it's a massive resort—there's no way to fully investigate in just one day. So, whether or not there have been any casualties, we still can't say for sure." She sighed. "Since you brought up Laurel Resort yourself, I assume you h

Felix was taken aback by Donna's straightforward reply, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He was not sure if it was because S-tier Malevolent Phantoms did not care about emotional intelligence or if they were just this brutally honest. Either way, he had no idea how to respond."You're probably wondering why I'm only telling you about Laurel Resort now, right?" Luckily, Donna spoke up before he had to ask. That was precisely what he had been wondering."Why?" Felix asked.Donna said, "Because your so-called headquarters would eventually get desperate enough to send you, and I figured we were getting close to that point, so I gave you a heads-up. "I also knew you'd send someone to investigate, but it didn't really matter. Even if I hadn't warned you, it would've only delayed things by a few days."Donna was not wrong. With over 200 people missing, it was only a matter of time before Hector could not keep things under wraps anymore. When that happened, either he or Billy would be

Yolanda said, "I finally understand what people mean when they say that kindness gets repaid. If I hadn't stood up for you back in elementary school, you probably wouldn't even remember my name now."Felix nodded. "That's true. Back in elementary school, the only names I really remembered were the ones I was close with. We barely talked back then—guess it was just fate."After they finished eating, Yolanda suddenly said, "Business is business, but the fact remains—you saved my family. And let's not forget, you also spent 100 million dollars on the Meyers situation. If we said that little favor from elementary school was enough to cancel out all of this, my family and I wouldn't feel right."She continued, "Since you don't need money, my dad figured the least we could do was let you take a look at his vault. If there's anything you like, it's yours."Felix waved a hand dismissively. "That's really not necessary. This investment benefits me, too—it's a win-win situation. I don't see
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1273
Yolanda did not hesitate for even a second before agreeing. After all, what was a million-dollar statue to Felix? The man was not exactly strapped for cash. If anything, giving him something he genuinely liked made her feel better about the whole situation.Besides, anyone who laid eyes on this five-clawed golden dragon would be captivated by its craftsmanship."No problem at all," she said with a smile....Back at home, Felix finally let his emotions show—his excitement practically radiated from his expression and eyes. "Holy shit! Is this what Yolanda meant by good karma pays off?"Even now, he could hardly believe it. His luck had come out of nowhere—this was beyond anything he could have imagined.The moment Felix touched the golden dragon, he had felt something inside it. This was not just an ordinary sculpture. It contained dragon energy—the real thing. As someone who possessed nine pieces of Dragonspines and cultivated Dragons Destroyer, there was no way he could have bee

Felix's strength had grown, and he was not the same as before. Now, he could finally take the plunge.Nonetheless, there was one last thing he needed to do before setting off—master Dragon Rebirth, the technique Gerald had given him. He was unsure what lay beyond the Grandmaster Realm, but he trusted Gerald. Another day passed, and Felix successfully cultivated Dragon Rebirth. As expected, it was the natural successor to Dragon Destroyer—otherwise, it would not have been this easy. The technique was running on its own, but Felix did not feel much of a difference at the moment. Still, he knew results would not come overnight, so he had to take things one step at a time.As for dealing with the Leaping Creek Corporation, Zion had taken care of everything through his connections with the Warlock family. Felix did not have the time to plan every move—he only needed to make sure the Zuckerberg family could survive this crisis and accept the changes without resistance.That afternoon,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1275
Felix immediately perked up. He desperately needed this information. Headquarters had hit a dead end—Hector, the one who knew the most, could not make sense of the situation, and even Xena admitted she had nothing to offer. The simplest solution would be to just launch a missile and wipe Laurel Resort off the map, but there were over 200 lives inside—who would dare give that order?So, at this moment, Donna's words were nothing short of music to his ears. It really was a world that favored the strong. Not long ago, Donna had dismissed him without a second thought, saying they had gone their separate ways—but now that his power had risen, she was clearly taking a different stance.Yet, instead of speaking right away, Donna simply smiled—a mysterious, knowing smile—as she stared at him. "Heh… Looks like I underestimated Earth—or maybe just Dragonia."Felix frowned. "What do you mean?"Donna touched her lips, her smile turning even more cryptic. "I just said I wasn't taking back
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1276
Felix was fully focused—this was the kind of intel headquarters would never provide. There was no way he would miss a single word when it came to his own survival.Donna explained, "When an S-tier Malevolent Phantom reaches this state, even though its consciousness is in chaos, its instincts will still push it to seek salvation. It does this by filtering souls in a specific way, selecting only those that meet its criteria to reach its soul core. What happens after that—whether it wakes up or how you might influence its recovery—is something I don't know."But one thing is certain—the only chance you'll have to kill it is when you see its soul core. This isn't just for us Malevolent Phantoms—every creature's soul core is its most vulnerable point. Normally, it's buried under layers of soul energy and defenses, making it nearly impossible to find."That explained why Donna thought Felix had a shot. Just imagining the kind of energy an S-tier Malevolent Phantom's refined soul could add

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
