The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1517
"There's a tiny speck inside your core filled with rimefrost energy. As time passes, this speck will gradually enlarge, reaching a size that will impact your core ten years later," Felix explained. "You may not be in fatal danger when that time comes, but you will experience side effects if you are to fight against someone else. I think I won't need to describe them; you already know."Ginny's mouth was wide with shock. She didn't expect things to be so serious. Practicing the martial arts was what she enjoyed most in this life. If she were to lose the ability to fight as a martial artist one day, it wouldn't be any different from death. "Can this be treated, Dr. Zeller?" This was the first time Ginny spoke to him with respect. She'd come to acknowledge his skill as a doctor."If it can be spotted, of course it can be treated," Felix said. "Take the medicine I give you on time for at least three months while also massaging your core. Three months later, the speck of lingering rimef
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1518
Ginny reminded herself repeatedly that she was undergoing this treatment so that her future as a martial artist wouldn't be marred by any accidents. She was determined to soldier on despite what might happen. Also, Felix was a professional doctor and thus would surely not have any designs on her.After her maids retreated, Felix stepped forward. Ginny, who had turned her head to the side, not daring to see him, suddenly heard him say, "Can you lead me there?"Curious about what that meant, Ginny looked at him, only to be shocked. Felix, who had covered his eyes with a blindfold, was led forward by her maids, and his hands were brought to rest on a certain spot."Can I begin now, Ms. Longstone?" Felix asked. Warmth suffused Ginny's heart, and gratitude filled her gaze. "Certainly. Thank you, Dr. Zeller."The moment Felix began the massage, Ginny felt heat rise in her core, which made her admire Felix even more. After a while, Ginny felt a scorching heat in her body, and her face
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1519
It was a good thing that Felix's worry didn't come true. After all, this was the Longstone residence. Of course, there would be powerful fighters here. At that moment, Gras showed up with two men outside the room and stopped someone who was moving extremely fast. "Greetings, Mr. Longstone." Surprisingly, it was a young man. He was handsome, wearing a blue attire, and exuded extraordinary elegance.Gras felt a headache coming on. He forced a smile and said, "Young man, can you not dash in here like an assassin next time? You'll invite unwanted troubles."The young man went by the name of Justus Goldstein. Naturally, he was one of the noblemen. Otherwise, Gras wouldn't have been this polite with him. There was no need to inform anyone before entering the Longstone residence, but it was a little unseemly to be dashing in the hallways."I heard that Ginny wasn't feeling well. I was worried sick about her, so I had been moving about rashly. Please don't hold it against me, Mr. Long

Cloud City was truly a big city. As the sky turned dark, the glows from various lights and scattered candlelights came together to form a bright and lively scene."Mr. Jamison, is this the area Ms. Longstone mentioned?" Felix asked.When they arrived at a spot, they saw a huge stone stage, which gave Felix a sense of déjà vu. There was a time when he got onto a stage like this in Martial City, fighting for Nala's sake.Ryker Jamison nodded in response. "Exactly. All you have to do is sign the contract, and you'll have the whole arena to yourself and your opponent. "You can even choose a fight to the death if you want. Take a look over there. Two men have just went up there."Betting challenges here were completely legalized. So, anyone could take part in it. "Dr. Zeller, do you want to try your hand at a bet?" Felix was a wealthy man, considering Gras gave him 100 silver coins, and he didn't have any expenses to cover because he stayed at the Longstone residence. It was more

The surrounding darkness had no bearing on the man. With the help of the silver glow, the disdain on his expression was unmistakable. "This is just a planet for barbarians, and yet these savages dreamed of saving their hometown by taking part in the Rank-ascending Competition. How absurd," the man said to himself once more. All of a sudden, he felt something and waved both his arms, his expression showing his fear."Eek! What is this?"Several minutes later, the darkness was still boundless, and the silver glow was still shining weakly. The only thing different about the place was that the voice was gone.…Back in Cloud City, the battle in the area was over. Wagner and Charlie's jaws hung agape, because Felix had actually won the bet. The point was that the odds were stacked against Felix, and his chances of winning were slim. Wagner and Charlie dared to challenge him to a bet because they had some information beforehand. Jules and Mack might've been Aetherial Realm fighte
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1522
Felix nodded in understanding. In fact, he knew deep down why things went down the way they did. When he saw Wagner earlier today, he had a strong sense that Wagner had something to do with Justus showing up. With that said, it truly didn't matter. He wasn't in the mood to fool around with these insignificant punks. The more pressing matter was gathering intelligence, and he gave himself six months to do it. If Felix still couldn't find out how powerful Flame Monarch actually was and suss out all the hidden fighters serving the latter, he would have to take some actual action. He had to find another way to get to the truth—he couldn't afford to keep going like this. At that moment, some burly men entered the restaurant. Judging by their aura, they were all Innate Realm fighters. They immediately headed to the pretty lady, who was seated and eating, and surrounded her. The thing was, she was a member of The Recovery Association."You bitch. I can't believe you're sitting here
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1523
Felix concentrated for a brief moment, and he knew he hadn't made a mistake. Something was emerging from the darkness. That was when Ryker, who had been uninterested initially, also narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness outside the city."Dear God! I-Is that a person?" Just then, someone shouted on top of his lungs. The screaming wasn't necessary at all—everyone could see very clearly that someone had just walked out of the darkness.The person stumbled as he walked, and he was dressed in ragged clothes. He was injured, and a lot of people could clearly see bones where his wounds should've been.Felix was shocked to his core as well. Didn't they say that no one could survive a single night in Desolated Lands? So, why was someone emerging from the dark now?Although the person's grotesque wounds suggested that a monstrous beast attacked him, the possibility that a fellow human might've struck him wasn't completely ruled out.There might've been guards posted by the city
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1524
Ryker immediately sought Gras out once they were back at the Longstone residence. Felix had no choice but to return to his room. He was but a doctor—there were things people like him couldn't take part in. To his surprise, Ginny came to his room not long after. "Dr. Zeller, I heard you and Ryker were there when the man emerged from Desolate Lands. Is that true?"Felix nodded. "Yeah. Did you hear about it as well?"She was thrilled. "It's not just me. Absolutely everyone in Cloud City knows about it. Rumor has it that the Green King has contacted Flame Monarch, and the latter will be here tomorrow."Felix went along with her and asked, "Are you serious?""Yeah. The man is the first person to ever emerge from the night. Of course, Flame Monarch would be here. This incident takes precedence over everything else."If Leandre's words could be trusted, then Flame Monarch had to be the most anxious of all. He was the one who brought Nine Flames here, making him the savior of Aquamari

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1565
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."
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1562
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1561
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
