The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1331
Holden quickly ran over. "Mr. Zeller, what do you need me to do?" Felix was still deep in thought, frowning. This was not just an adventure—it was something Francis had left for his descendants. Why would he make it difficult for them?If the goal was to ensure the survival of his bloodline, there were a few methods they needed to try first. Forcing their way in might trigger some hidden trap Francis had set, putting even Felix in danger. Despite his immense power, Felix knew better than to underestimate the most extraordinary alchemist of the Bronze Age, and caution was key.Felix said, "Here's what we'll do. I'll make a small cut on your finger and let your blood drip onto the soil." Though confused, Holden extended his hand. "Whatever you say, Mr. Zeller."After the cut was made, blood dripped onto the ground. At first, Holden did not think much of it, but seconds later, his face paled as he watched the blood vanish without a trace. It was as if the soil had swallowed the b

If it were not for Felix being there, Holden would not have had the courage to approach the stone table. As he got closer, the ancient text began to appear on the wall behind it. Holden could not read most of it. "Mr. Zeller, can you understand what this says?"Felix nodded, a smile forming on his face. "This is definitely Francis' work. It's safe, and there's no danger. The serum is in the box. Go ahead and take it. Then, drip your blood on the two statues. They'll obey your commands."Having encountered living statues in Astoria, Felix was not surprised by Francis' creations. They were likely meant to protect his descendants.Upon hearing Felix's reassurance, Holden relaxed and managed a weak smile. But just as he was about to step forward, a loud crack echoed through the chamber, startling him. "Get back!" Felix extended his right hand, pulling Holden behind him with a swift motion.The two statues began to crack, the sound growing louder as fissures spread across their surf

Holden held up a tiny transparent vial filled with a black liquid. The eerie part was that the liquid seemed to writhe and move as if it were alive. Even Felix felt uneasy looking at it, let alone Holden, who was just an ordinary person. "It should be," Felix said, trying to reassure him, though he was not entirely sure himself. "Let's take it up and show your dad first." Just as Holden was about to put the vial away, he paused. "Wait a second, Mr. Zeller. Did they even have transparent glass like this in the Bronze Age?" Felix frowned. "I'm pretty sure they didn't."To modern eyes, a transparent vial might seem ordinary. Yet, over 2000 years ago, such a thing would have been impossible in the Bronze Age. Felix continued, "Don't overthink it. Francis wasn't an ordinary man, and his creations defy logic. Besides, the text on the wall said to throw the vial away after drinking the liquid."Holden did not know that his question had sparked Felix's interest in the vial. If Franci

"Mr. Zeller, the inkstone is yours now," Paul said as he handed the inkstone over in the car. Felix smiled and replied, "Give me your account details, and I'll transfer the 100 million dollars to you. Also, if Holden doesn't change after having the baby, reach out to me. I'll return the inkstone. You can trust my integrity, right?"Paul did not hesitate for a second. "Of course, I trust you! Just the fact that you'd say that is beyond anything I could have imagined. Besides, without you, Holden would have been dead already."…Back at the hotel, Felix was too excited to sleep. He immediately placed the inkstone and the small vial on the table. But when he looked at the vial, he was stunned. He distinctly remembered Holden drinking every last drop of the black liquid two hours ago, yet now, there was a tiny amount of the liquid pooled at the bottom again."Could the black liquid regenerate itself?" Felix was thrilled by this discovery. It confirmed his suspicion that the vial wa

Felix arrived at the Rossum residence once again, where he found Paul sweating profusely, his eyes filled with worry "Mr. Zeller! I know you have connections and power. Please, you have to save Holden!" Paul was on the verge of tears, his voice trembling. After all the hardships they had endured, they had finally found the serum, only to face another crisis."Calm down first. Tell me what happened," Felix said, though he was equally frustrated. Everything had been going so smoothly, and now this? Someone had to interfere, and it left him deeply annoyed. Truthfully, Felix did not have to get involved, and Paul could have handled the land deal on his own. Then, if things went south, Felix could have stepped in later. But his conscience would not let him walk away. The Rossum family had given him enough benefits, and abandoning them now felt wrong."After we returned, Holden and I had a couple of drinks, then went to bed. I felt like I'd just fallen asleep when Holden's wife woke

Paul stood at the edge of the desert, his eyes fixed on the horizon, filled with anxiety. Zuera was a place of stark contrasts—to the east, endless vineyards stretched as far as the eye could see, while to the west, where he now stood, lay a barren desert area with uneven terrain, some spots rising as high as several dozen yards above the flat ground.The desert was home to nothing but an abandoned fertilizer factory, long shut down and left to decay. The area was desolate, with no signs of life, not even a single tree. The note specified the meeting point as this very factory, and Felix went in alone, instructing Paul to set up an airbag here. The plan was to throw Holden from a distance, ensuring he landed safely on the cushion.To be honest, Paul had initially thought Felix was joking. The idea of throwing someone that far seemed impossible, let alone ensuring they survived the fall. However, Felix had insisted it would work, so Paul had no choice but to trust him. Meanwhile

Felix glanced around, noticing two figures standing on rooftops about a hundred feet away on either side. Both were expressionless and had their eyes locked on him. They had appeared when he arrived, doing nothing but watching him intently."Two early-stage Transcendent Realm martial artists? This is your big gift for me? I thought the Eight Guardians didn't need help, and even if they did, it wouldn't be from these amateurs," Felix said, his tone mocking.Honestly, he could not see how two early-stage Transcendent Realm fighters could pose any threat to him. Even if they attacked him nonstop for three days, they would not be able to scratch him.Terrence let out a cold laugh. "Normally, the Eight Guardians wouldn't need help to deal with someone like you. But what they offered me was too good to refuse. The Ancient Sage never said outsiders couldn't be involved, so why not?" He shrugged and added, "Think of them as spectators. They won't be lifting a finger."He then gestured to

Felix's lips curled into a slight smirk as he launched his fists forward, moving so fast that even afterimages were hard to see. His punches collided violently with Terrence's serpent, grizzly, saber, and panther-like energy forms. The sheer force of their clash instantly reduced the entire fertilizer plant to rubble, as if it had never existed in the first place.Terrence's excitement grew, and he laughed maniacally. "This is exhilarating! No wonder the Ancient Sage has taken notice of you. Now that the warm-up's over, let's get serious."He suddenly bit his finger and muttered something under his breath. Then, the four gray energy arms surrounding him swelled in size and speed.Terrence, who had kept his real hands idle until now, finally began to move them. His power had skyrocketed, forcing Felix to bring out his Dragon Punches to keep up. "Impressive! You're actually pushing me back a bit," Terrence admitted after a few minutes, genuinely shocked by Felix's strength. As o

"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

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc

The next morning, Felix rushed back to Innswood Village. Just as he arrived, the Flame Monarch brought people to the Green King's Manor."Joaquin is dead?"The Green King quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. The content of my letter is true. I wonder if you still remember that doctor, Felix Zeller?"The Flame Monarch rubbed his chin, and a man appeared in his mind. "Of course, I do!" Then, he burst into laughter. "I didn't expect him to hide so much strength that you aren't even worthy of being his opponent."The Green King looked a little unwilling. "We only exchanged a few moves. If it had been a true fight, the winner would be uncertain. I only let him go because I was worried the entire Cloud City would be affected."A smile appeared on the Flame Monarch's face. He seemed to find this amusing. "How interesting. A doctor suddenly seemed to have gained the strength of an Earthly Realm martial artist. It seems like he has a lot of secrets!"Are you sure he went back to Innswood
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1553
No one dared to stop Felix from leaving. After all, they all saw how Joaquin died. If the Green King didn't make a move, who else could?Everyone in the yard stayed silent even after Felix disappeared, especially the Green King. He couldn't believe that a doctor had surpassed even himself! That was simply incredible!He was in Earthly Realm. How many people on Aquamarinus had even reached Earthly Realm? Taking Felix's age into account, it was simply unbelievable."Your Excellency…" Dave spoke up first, and the Green King immediately snapped back into reality. He walked out with a dark expression without another word."Dad, is there a chance that Felix can survive?" Ginny suddenly asked. Gras shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't know… At their level, it'll be like a fight between gods. Let's head back."A fight between gods? Ginny sighed. That truly seemed to be the case. Who could've thought that Felix was this amazing?…As night fell, Felix was in a room of an inn
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1552
Gras and the rest breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Green King intended to protect Felix. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question. After all, it all happened in Innswood Village, with no eyewitnesses.As long as Felix denied it, it would be impossible to trace. However, Felix nodded. "Yeah, I killed Caesar. He massacred over 200 people in Innswood Village. Doesn't he deserve to die?"The answer caught everyone off guard, but Joaquin gritted his teeth in anger. "How brave of you to admit it!"To be honest, even he wasn't expecting Felix to admit it. Everyone had clearly heard it, so it would be impossible for him to argue.The Green King looked helpless. Was Felix just incredibly stubborn? It was clear he was trying to help. Could Felix not see it?"Dave, take Felix away! We'll wait for the Flame Monarch to decide his fate."A member of the Royal Guards had been killed, and Felix admitted to killing him. No matter what strength Felix had hidden, it was no l
