The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1421
Felix didn't say a word and just hung up.When he returned to the underground fighting ring, not only was the old man still there, but Yakov had also shown up. The fury in Yakov's eyes was unmistakable as he glared at Felix. Yakov found his sheer audacity of hanging up his call utterly disrespectful."Felix! Think about others before you act! Do you know how hard Xena worked to climb to the rank of war goddess? Are you really going to drag her back down to nothing because of your recklessness?"Felix strode up to Yakov and sent him sprawling with a slap."You're destined to be nothing more than a lapdog in this lifetime," he sneered.The old man beside them didn't dare make a sound. The difference in strength was too vast. Yakov was an idiot for provoking Felix like this and had brought this humiliation on himself.Moments after Felix stepped inside, a series of deafening explosions erupted. The entire underground fighting ring had been reduced to rubble.Having received his p

Xena kept her head down, and her voice was barely above a whisper. "I... I want to do another Spirit Binding with you."Felix heard her with full clarity as his cultivation made that effortless. Finally, he understood why she was acting so out of character.Just as Billy had said, ordinary people couldn't resist the allure of Spirit Binding. Even Xena had become addicted.For a woman to muster the courage to say something like this, it spoke volumes about how deeply it had affected her.He sighed."That time was a necessity—an emergency. We can't do it again. It's for your own good. The more you experience it, the harder it becomes to resist. Eventually, you'll lose all self-control, and then things will get even messier. You might even do something reckless," he explained.Xena finally looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears."Why are you doing this to me? Yes, the first time was out of necessity, but as a woman, I still agreed to it. Do you have any idea how much cour

Xena turned around with an icy gaze. The authority of a high-ranking officer caused her expression to sharpen."Not interested," she said.If Felix had been there, his blood would've run cold. That was because the man casually inviting Xena to a late-night meal was none other than Specter.Unfazed by her rejection, Specter continued smiling."Don't you want the day to come when you can pin Felix beneath your heel and make him answer to you? Don't you want to see him look up at you one day, forced to regret every wrong he's done? Or are you truly content to let the man who broke you walk away unscathed?"Xena's eyebrow twitched. She studied him carefully, one hand subtly slipping into her purse. She was ready to alert Felix."Who are you?" she asked.Specter rubbed his chin as if genuinely considering the question."Well, it's complicated. Let's skip that part! I'm simply fascinated by Felix. I've invested considerable resources into investigating him, and you are one of the mos

Xena scoffed at his proposal. "How amusing that a Malevolent Phantom is offering to make a human stronger. Do I look like a child to you?"Just then, the chef himself entered the private dining room, carrying steaming plates of food. Once he left, Specter gestured to the food."Eat while it's hot. I have no interest in human food."Xena didn't even reach for her fork as she said, "I've lost my appetite. Am I free to go?"To her surprise, Specter simply waved a hand."You may leave whenever you like. I offered to strengthen you for two reasons. One, because you're a Soulhunter, and two—well, Felix, of course. As for why a Malevolent Phantom would help a human? Let's just say, no matter how strong you get, the final outcome won't change."My contact information is already in your bag. Call me when you've made up your mind."Xena left without another word. However, Specter seemed utterly confident, unfazed by her rejection. He picked up a strand of scalding noodles with his bare fi

Felix frowned, asking, "You're saying Rebirth Sect's hideout has a soul barrier that can detect souls?"Billy only grinned wider. "Yes, exactly! I can't wait to see you groveling to Xena for help. This is gonna be gold."However, Felix smirked and said, "Sorry to disappoint you, but you won't be getting that show."Billy's face scrunched in suspicion."Bullshit! There's no way you can slip past a soul barrier on your own. That thing might not be the best there is, but it's way beyond your current level to bypass."Felix's smile turned smug. "Don't you worry about me."Although Felix's current strength wasn't enough, the Mystery Parchment had returned to him. The artifact didn't just absorb soul-based attacks. It could also conceal his soul, wrapping around it like an invisibility cloak. Unless he actively materialized his soul, he would not be detected. Even if someone had a technique like Spirit Eye, they'd never notice a thing unless their cultivation surpassed his.Honestly

At first glance, Rebirth Sect seemed harmless, especially when compared with Laurel Resort. No deaths were reported, and there was no forced confinement. They even allowed their members to leave on annual breaks, so their freedom was not exactly restricted. "Hey man, why the long face?"A voice snapped Felix out of his thoughts. A blonde man, barely out of his teens, plopped down beside him. A toothpick dangled from his lips like some wannabe tough guy."Nothing," Felix said, barely glancing at him. When he was about to leave, the man said, "Do you have an incurable disease, right? Don't give up yet. Miracles happen every day. If the Reaper hasn't come for you, that means you've still got a shot."Upon hearing that, Felix remained seated. "That's easy for you to say. You're healthy. It must be nice joking about it."Felix figured that the man was a preacher for Rebirth Sect. Xena had told him that they had identified all the preachers of the sect. However, they didn't take any

"You'll need to get out here. I don't come this way often, so I forgot the rules. No worries, though. They're just here to welcome you," the taxi driver said.Upon hearing the taxi driver's explanation, Felix glanced outside. The three white-robed figures were smiling warmly. He realized he had misinterpreted the situation and said, "Thanks."After paying, Felix stepped out and was immediately greeted with enthusiasm. Apparently, the driver had forgotten that Rebirth Sect members would intercept visitors at a certain point. There was no need to drive all the way to the main complex."Have you come to join Rebirth Sect?" they asked.Felix put on a hesitant expression. Since they were approaching him, the soul barrier must have let him through."I-I just wanted to ask if it is true that you can cure cancer here?" Felix asked.The leader, a middle-aged man in his 40s, smiled even wider."Of course. Many of our devotees were once cancer patients. Now? They live in perfect health.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1428
There was no other choice. Felix could only make his face flush a little red. He was supposed to be suffering from brain cancer, not a total lack of reaction. Given her stunning body and gorgeous face, it would be weirder if he didn't react at all when she was so up close and personal.Finally, Yanny stood up, repeatedly bowing as she apologized. However, she moved so slowly that the few undone buttons on her top gave him an even clearer view. It was so clear that he could see everything perfectly even though he was lying down."It's fine," Felix said.Yanny let out a relieved sigh, then she flashed him a sweet smile."You're Felix Zeller, right? That's a really nice name. The results will take a little longer, so don't stress too much, okay? No matter what, you'll be able to live normally."As she spoke, she suddenly lifted her shirt, pointing at her smooth, flat abdomen."I used to have cervical cancer, but now I'm completely cured. That's how amazing Rebirth Sect is! Look, not

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1559
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
