Felix narrowed his eyes. He believed this so-called step to some extent. After all, this was an organization; it was normal to haze the newcomers. However, Yanny said that there was a second step, which made him doubtful. Yanny lay on the bed as she looked at Felix, who stood frozen with his head turned away. She said seriously, "Give me a massage, and don't miss a spot. Otherwise, you'll be punished!"Felix heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought it would be something more extreme. But this was harmless, an inconvenience at best. Just as he was about to go over, a thought rang in his mind.No, what if there was a third step? Besides, he didn't know whether she was a human or a Malevolent Phantom. But even if she was human, he would never engage with her this way."I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to feel much since I got a brain tumor."Yanny seemed prepared for this response and smiled. "I'm not asking you for anything. Take this as your treatment. I'm already a senior in Reb

The older woman, Mylo, pounced at Felix, and he quickly grabbed her wrist, pretending to panic. "N-No! I don't want this."In his mind, he thought of a small trick to play on her. If this woman was indeed a Malevolent Phantom, she couldn't resist. Otherwise, if he died, that would be a waste of a soul. Even so, he dared not look at her with his Spirit Eye. He wanted to wait until she showed her fangs. Besides, there was nothing to hide now.Sure enough, Mylo licked her lips and allowed Felix to grab her wrist. She feigned shyness. "Oh! You're holding me too tightly! It hurts!" However, Felix immediately felt a strange disturbance in his soul."Ack! You're not an ordinary person!" she screamed in shock. Fortunately, Felix had set up a sound barrier in advance, so there was no need to worry about sound escaping."Hahaha! So you're really a Malevolent Phantom!" Felix shouted.Mylo had launched an attack on Felix's soul! But it was quickly deflected by his Infinite Shield, which m

Felix was so shocked that he was speechless. Rebirth Sect had 50 Malevolent Phantoms? What was this? If he hadn't just tortured Mylo's spirit and seen the truth with his own eyes, he would've thought she was lying.Upon seeing his reaction, Mylo quickly added, "It's true! There are really 50 Malevolent Phantoms in Rebirth Sect—five A-tiers, 15 B-tiers, and 30 C-tiers. It's all true!"Such a number of Malevolent Phantoms gathering together was unheard of and completely different from their usual way of life. "Why are you all gathering?" Felix asked.Perhaps Mylo was afraid of being tortured by Felix, for she answered immediately, "Because of food! You humans are growing stronger; even martial artists who don't know soul attacks can kill us C-tier Malevolent Phantoms."Besides, we have to avoid surveillance and getting caught. But since we came here, we can eat at least two to three times a month! We don't even have to worry about anything, so why not?"Felix pondered about this.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1434
Mylo explained, "We don't lack food, and these ordinary people are all supported by Yosef. He calls this his long-term strategy. None of us Malevolent Phantoms are allowed to touch the staff here. Otherwise, the consequences would be miserable."People like you in the headquarters know that we can't kill one another, but there are many ways to make us suffer. Sometimes even worse than death."Felix's expression turned grim. "So the 'lack of food' means people like me who come and see Riley for his reputation?"Mylo shrank back from the intensity of Felix's gaze. Murderous energy filled every inch of the room, and she quickly turned away. "Yes, patients are coming here for treatments. Us C-tier Malevolent Phantoms just need to play the role of someone who has already been taken by spending time with their families. That's our task. "We have a week to observe their habits so we don't arouse suspicion. Besides, with human emotions, people experience ups and downs in life and often

Felix knew Mylo didn't mean it."Don't get me wrong. I said you must die because I'm here to devour your soul. If you're still alive, the news will reach Yosef's ears in seconds. No matter if he suspects you or me, nothing good comes from it," Mylo explained.Felix agreed. "Alright, I can fake my death, and I guarantee that no one will notice it. However, you have to tell me how you're going to deal with the dead body first."There was no crematorium here, so it was unlikely that the bodies would be burned. It would create heavy smoke, and Yosef wasn't that stupid."Buried in soil, in the backyard of Rebirth Sect. A layer of underground was dug out during construction, and that's where the bodies are buried. However, fresh bodies have to be stored in the morgue for three days."Some Malevolent Phantoms like to destroy bodies for pleasure, and it's allowed by Yosef. So if someone enters, you'll have to find a way to hide," Mylo said.Felix took a deep breath, composing himself. "W

According to the three-day rule, ten people had died within such a short time. So, just how many people had died since Rebirth Sect was established? Felix feared it was a large number."This group of monsters!" he thought. He clenched his fists angrily but felt powerless. His current strength wasn't enough to protect over a thousand people and kill 50 Malevolent Phantoms at once.His only hope was Billy now. Felix hoped that Mylo could do as promised and pass on his message. If she dared to lie, then he could only wait until he was sent to the burial area before finding a way to escape. Ever since he had entered this place, he had been manipulated at every turn, whether it was the confiscation of his phone or the encounter with the Malevolent Phantom. Otherwise, how could he have fallen for these tricks? All this information could be obtained if he was truly brutal toward Mylo. Instead, he gambled his chances for once. After about an hour, the door rang. Just when Felix thought

Something was wrong, but Yosef didn't know what. The person next to him looked confused and asked, "What do you mean?"Yosef rubbed his chin before finally making a decision. "Gather everyone in the courtyard tomorrow. Remember, I want every single person there. I want to investigate each person one by one."Damn! Over a thousand people to be gathered, and he'd check one by one?"Is this necessary? Isn't that a little too much?"Yosef sneered. "I built Rebirth Sect with my own two hands. I want to play this as safely as I can. I feel like the combustion is too odd. What if, despite all our precautions, someone from the headquarters snuck in?"It's best to retaliate before we get beaten to the ground."The person next to him was still confused. But since they were both A-tier Malevolent Phantoms, he asked a few more questions."But with more than a thousand people as hostages, even if someone managed to sneak in, they would be absolutely helpless. Wasn't that what you said before
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1438
With a Black Soul Scout here, it seemed that Yosef had big plans. Besides, they had just mentioned feeding with corpses. Could this be the laboratory of the Hall of Souls?For a moment, Felix was tempted. If he could ideally take over this laboratory, it would definitely be helpful to Wayne's research. After all, it seemed like the Hall of Souls was progressing rapidly in this area.Additionally, the corpses were used as fodder. It was only a matter of time before Felix was exposed. Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Meanwhile, in the room, the old man was still concentrating on the chessboard in front of him. Suddenly, his expression turned grim, and he quickly retaliated with a soul attack. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.Felix looked at the old man on the ground with his Spirit Eye and immediately confirmed that he was the Black Soul Scout. He heaved a sigh of relief. He had anticipated the attack the moment

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

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
