The moment Felix heard that he'd have to leave the next day, a deep fear welled up inside him. Leaving this place was worse than death itself."My record is three hours. Since you failed the first challenge, you'll need to beat my time by at least an hour, understand? And you can't pause for more than ten seconds, or it's an automatic failure."Going for four hours or even five wasn't a problem for Felix. After all, his physical endurance was more than enough. But something about this still felt off.According to Donna, these trials were nothing more than manifestations of the S-tier Malevolent Phantom's instincts. But what was the real purpose behind setting up something like this?After a moment of hesitation, Felix asked, "Do you know how many trials the strongest person has cleared so far? I don't just want to stay here forever. I want to have dinner with the boss too."That desire wasn't unreasonable. After all, the power pulling at him guided him toward that very goal.He h

Anger? Damage? Felix was beginning to understand. Was he supposed to get angry enough to hurt someone? That certainly fit the name House of Wrath.It didn't seem too difficult.As soon as the gatekeeper finished speaking, a cart appeared beside Felix. It was piled high with weapons like knives, chainsaws, and hammers. There were even some brutal-looking torture devices he had never seen before, let alone imagined."Hello, would you like to buy a flower?"Startled, Felix turned to see a little girl standing before him, looking no more than five years old. She held a basket filled with a dozen or so roses."Please buy one. My grandma is sick and needs money for treatment. Won't you help? Look how beautiful these roses are."Her soft smile froze Felix in place. Then, the gatekeeper's voice rang out again."Let me remind you that everyone you see here is a real resident of Laurel Resort. Don't go thinking this is all fake."What?Felix's expression darkened. Even if he didn't know

The seven trials of that night were the key to getting closer to the core of the S-tier Malevolent Phantom. If Felix missed this chance, there might not be another opportunity.When Felix remembered the little girl from the first trial, he felt a pang of regret. If he had known, he would have accepted the challenge immediately.With a snap of the gatekeeper's fingers, three figures appeared before him, leaving Felix frozen in place.That was because he knew those three people better than anyone else.One was his mother, Cordelia. Another was his wife, Nerissa. And the last was his younger sister, Melissa."What are you doing here, Felix?" Cordelia asked."Aren't we supposed to be on vacation? Honey, what's going on?" Nerissa questioned.Meanwhile, Melissa went even further. She threw herself into Felix's arms."You finally saved me! I was so scared… I wasn't hurt or anything, but losing my freedom was terrifying! Where's Ronan? Why didn't you save him too?"At first, Felix fel

Felix stared at Nerissa in shock. She clutched her stomach, her face twisted in excruciating pain.In the next moment, blood began to stream down her leg.The sight of it made Felix stumble backward several steps."No, that's impossible. It can't be…" he muttered.He felt like he was losing his mind. Could it all be real? Was Nerissa really pregnant with his child?"Why?" Nerissa sobbed. "I was planning to tell you this good news in person after our trip. We were going to have a baby. But now… now the baby is gone. Gone!"She collapsed onto the ground, weeping uncontrollably. Melissa stood frozen in fear, unable to say a word, while his mother, Cordelia, scolded him furiously.However, Felix barely registered any of it. After all, he had killed his own child. He destroyed his own flesh and blood with his bare hands.At that moment, he couldn't tell if he was trapped in reality or illusion. He was drowning in a sea of guilt.He failed to notice the anger meter on the screen ste

"What does this mean?" Felix asked.The gatekeeper only smiled, offering no hints at all.The cart was still there, fully stocked with torture tools, which meant he still had to inflict pain on someone.Felix frowned, deep in thought. Then, as if realizing something, he looked down at his own body. Since no one else had appeared, the target this time must be himself.With that thought, he lifted his right hand. A sickening crack echoed through the room as he snapped one of the fingers on his left hand.Since he had to hurt himself, there was no hesitation. This kind of pain was nothing compared to everything he'd been through. In fact, this final challenge felt like the easiest one yet.After breaking all five fingers, he broke his left arm. The bone pierced through the skin, grotesquely exposed to the air. Just looking at it was enough to make someone recoil in agony, but Felix remained unfazed. After all, this level of pain was insignificant to him.The screen showed that hi

There were seven original sins, later known as the seven deadly sins. They were pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.The first trial Felix went through, the House of Indulgence, was clearly centered on lust. The second trial, the House of Wrath, was even more self-explanatory.With this sudden influx of information, he had learned the names of the remaining five trials, immediately making the connection to the Seven Sins.However, why did the S-tier Malevolent Phantom require someone to fully embody each of these sins?He recalled what Donna had said—an S-tier Malevolent Phantom teetering on the brink of soul collapse would instinctively seek self-preservation. The exact method was unclear, but perhaps by selecting humans who could reach the extreme limits of each sin, the spirit could consume their souls and stabilize itself. That was the most logical explanation for now."So if I clear four trials, I'll get to have dinner with the owner of Laurel Resort?"Tha

Upon hearing those words, the middle-aged man grinned proudly."Of course! I'm in charge of handling the kitchen and bathroom waste for Laurel Resort. Basically, I take out the slop. If the pay here wasn't so good, I wouldn't even bother coming once a day. I'd rather just lie around in my pigsty."Felix shook his head. He had to admit that he lost this round, fair and square. Competing in laziness with no mental preparation? Yeah, no chance of winning that.However, he did have a question. If this guy could create such a seamless illusion to catch him off guard, why hadn't the previous two stages used the same method? Was it possible that the S-tier Malevolent Phantom had its own unique interpretation of the seven deadly sins?Of course, that wasn't his problem to worry about. His job was just to get through the challenges."You have one chance to make up for it," the man offered.Felix declined immediately."No need. I give up."He wasn't stupid. After going through two trials

The voice carried undeniable authority and indescribable power. It felt only natural to kneel upon seeing the person. It was as if an instinctual urge to bow in reverence had been awakened.Felix looked up and saw a man dressed in a royal robe. The man exuded an overwhelming sense of majesty and looked just like an emperor from ancient times."Kneel? Who do you think you are?" Felix asked.His voice was calm, yet it rang out with unwavering conviction. To his surprise, the man in royal robes began to fade, disappearing entirely."Impressive. You passed the first test just like that."As the man vanished, Felix noticed a young man standing before him. His posture was casual, and he seemed almost lazy. However, the arrogance in his eyes was unmistakable."Welcome to House of Pride. I am its gatekeeper."According to religion, pride was the sin of those who held even God in contempt. Naturally, such people would think nothing of others, taking lives on nothing more than a whim."S

Julius was speechless because Felix didn't seem to be joking—he looked serious."Hey! Are you even listening to me? The lowest level ones in there are Celestial Realm Minotaurs. Are you sure you want to go in and suffer? If you really are killed by Minotaurs, no one will rescue you."Felix laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I have techniques that can go against opponents like the Minotaurs. While there's still time, I'll practice well."And just like that, Felix directly entered the Prison of Blood. Julius was speechless. They weren't close, so it wasn't his place to comment. Soon, the news of Felix entering the Prison of Blood spread, and everyone who had arrived here got the news. "Entering the Prison of Blood? Are you trying to prove yourself, or are you trying to pressure me?" Lachlan muttered to himself. His expression was calm, and even his gaze didn't falter."Even if he could really kill Celestial Realm Minotaurs, so what? After all, they're merely beasts wit

"The Aetherium Realm? With the breakthrough from Aquamarinus, that guy seemed to have the potential to win." Yusri sneered."Hahaha! So what? The preliminary round is going to be his grave. He dared to massacre my bloodline, so even if the Earth was destroyed, what would it have to do with me?"…An hour later, Julius was dragged somewhere in the yard by Felix. "What is this place for? Why didn't the guide tell me about this?" Felix asked.Not far ahead, there stood a huge iron door. Felix didn't know what was inside, but there was a sign hanging above the entrance that read, "The Prison of Blood".Julius smacked his forehead. "I forgot to tell you! I knew you would see this sooner or later, but the Prison of Blood isn't a good place. You should stay far away from it."Felix rolled his eyes and pulled him along. "Do you think this is a good place? Tell me about it."Julius could only helplessly continue, "An elder of Star Alliance created the Prison of Blood. The prisoners ins

Felix frowned. It seemed like the Orions were really going all out this time."Was it very serious?" he asked.Yusri nodded solemnly. "Yes, they crossed the line this time and are on thin ice with the rules. You should know that the Orions are determined to invade Earth this time. If they lose the competition, they will fall in the rankings. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they're desperate…"With that, Yusri said, "There are many things I can't tell you. Otherwise, I'll be going against the rules. But I wanted to ask, what realm have you reached in your soul cultivation?"Despite coming from the same planet, there was no way Felix could completely trust him. He replied immediately, "The Aetherium Realm."The expression on Yusri's face changed, and then he burst out laughing."The Aetherium Realm! Felix, you're such a surprise. I don't need to ask about your martial strength. I can feel that you've practiced the Dragons Destroyer, which means you've reached Extreme Mas

"Of course, you're right. All the personal assistants of the chiefs always wear the same burgundy clothes. She was most likely sent to create some buzz around Felix. Fortunately, he asked about it just now."Otherwise, when she showed up, we wouldn't have known what was happening," Xenon told Julius.On the other hand, Felix had no idea about all that. He just followed the lady with his head down. However, he noticed how elegant the lady in front of him was, with her burgundy tights and the sway of her hips just at the right rhythm.After arriving in front of a room, the woman stood by the door. "Head right in."Felix entered and found no one inside. Just as he was about to say something, there was a noise and footsteps. Soon, a man wrapped in a towel came out as he dried his hair."Oh, you're here. Come, have a seat."The man appeared to be in his 50s, with well-defined muscles. Felix thought it was someone from Star Alliance and that everyone might be getting private talks like

Julius and Xenon turned to each other, confused. "No, a name is too little to work with. Even just on your planet, there are too many people with the same name, not to mention the entire universe," they said.Felix knew that he was being vague. "That Yusri, he's like me. He's from Earth, and he once won third in the Rank-Ascending Competition."Julius immediately smiled when he heard this. "Well, that's great then. Not only do we know the Yusri you mentioned, but many people know him!"Xenon sighed. "Yes, Yusri is quite a brilliant person. He was against really strong people during the competition. Otherwise, he would've won that year."So they knew of him. Felix thought about it before deciding that asking wouldn't hurt. "Well, Yusri is now the chief of Star Alliance. He has a bright future ahead," Xenon said. When he realized that Felix might not understand, he added, "In Star Alliance, the Leader is the highest rank. After that, we have the deputy leaders, then the elders.

It would be a lie if Felix said he wasn't touched. He was actually one of the crowd favorites in the competition. This wasn't something he would've ever dared to think about before.After a few glasses of wine, he followed Julius to the massage parlor. Felix felt truly enlightened when he saw what was there—there were really beautiful women in the parlor, all from different races.Some had wings on their backs, some had elven ears. There really was everyone here. "Do you want a private room, or are we sharing a room?" Julius's eyes shone mischievously, and Felix sighed helplessly."Let's share a room, or do you want a private room?"Julius pouted. "I've been here for several days and feel a little tired. As I've guessed, you're probably the type who loves only one woman in life. So sure, let's share a room. Let's get a triple room."A triple room? Felix didn't ask any more questions. Two women were assigned to their rooms, and their techniques were indeed great. People with thei

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1568
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
