The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1589
Yusri and a middle-aged man sat facing each other. Yusri was the chief of Star Alliance, so naturally his guest would be a man of high status—he was Scopulus Orion, the head of the Orion family."You worry too much, Mr. Orion," Yusri said. "Felix Zeller is a prodigy, yes, but it's very unlikely he will win the Rank-Ascending Competition." "I prefer to have things within my control," Scopulus said expressionlessly. "No matter how low the possibility may be, I don't want to risk it. Felix's death is the best outcome."Yusri smiled. "It should happen soon. Although Felix has exceeded my expectations when he reached the Aetherial Realm, he is sure to meet his death soon. More precisely, he will die the moment the Emperor Cobra—which is set free in the venue of the competition after you've paid for it—finds him!"The Emperor Cobra was a powerful demonic beast that not only had soul attacks in its arsenal but was also protected by extremely tough skin that could shield itself against th
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1590
It seemed that Yusri, too, didn't want to acknowledge the fact that Felix had reached the Soul Overlord Realm. "Yes, the second elevation of the soul is immensely difficult and has posed an obstacle for so many people," he said. "I don't think a young martial artist like Felix, who doesn't have a strong foundation, could do it. "There must have been some mishap causing the cobra to be killed. How fortunate that brat is," he concluded. After the idea that Felix had reached the Soul Overlord realm was negated, Scopulus got up to leave. "We have no way to interfere now, but it should be fine," he said. "He'll come across Lachlan in the end, and he won't be able to escape from his fated death."…Felix figured he'd been inside the forest for a month. He'd killed quite a lot of demonic beasts, but the Starmark remained inert. He hadn't encountered any real danger, which meant that many other contestants had gotten themselves killed. He wondered how many out of the 2,000 contestant
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1591
Felix thought he had been caught, but something did not add up. Even the strongest martial intuition couldn't extend beyond 160 feet. By all logic, it shouldn't be possible. He wondered if Hendrix was just trying to trick someone. But as soon as Hendrix spoke, someone actually emerged from hiding. Felix had seen her at the bar a few times. It was Yvian, one of the top contenders expected to win the championship. She always wore a blue gown like it was the only outfit she owned. "Look who it is. It seems like you enjoy peeping on others, too, Yvian," Hendrix joked. Yvian kept her face blank, though from Hendrix's tone, they clearly had history together. "Peeping? If I really wanted to spy on you, I would've stayed 160 feet away. Do you think I'd let you spot me?" Surprisingly, Hendrix didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he licked his lips and said, "Don't forget the agreement between our families. "If you lose to me, you're supposed to marry me. I hear your family has a secre

Yvian smiled bitterly. "Yeah, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I ran into it face-to-face."Hearing this, Hendrix gave her a thumbs-up. "You're really amazing at soul cultivation. You faced an Emperor Cobra and lived to tell the tale." Sighing, Yvian revealed the real reason. "Not exactly. I'm only at Aetherium Realm. An Emperor Cobra couldn't kill me instantly, but it could've trapped me and prevented an easy escape. "Even if I'd used my best technique to kill it, my soul would definitely have been injured. What's strange is that the Emperor Cobra's attack seemed more like a warning. After I backed away, it didn't pursue me." Hendrix furrowed his brows. Even he found this hard to believe. Demonic beasts killed humans by nature, so they would never spare anyone they encountered. What was going on? "I thought it was weird, so I carefully followed the Emperor Cobra for several days. Can you guess what I saw?" Hendrix could not contain his curiosity. He stared w

Hendrix had not looked this shocked in years. His face went through more expressions in those few seconds than anyone had seen in forever. He just stared at Yvian, hoping she would say she was only joking.Unfortunately, the serious look on her face remained unchanged even after nearly a minute passed. "Phew!" Hendrix let out a long breath. It was still quite difficult for him to believe what he had just heard. "Felix killed the Emperor Cobra? You've got to be kidding!" By now, it was fairly certain that Felix had reached Celestial Realm. But if his soul cultivation techniques were powerful enough to kill an Emperor Cobra, then he had to be quite terrifying.Yvian's face showed bitterness. "I saw it with my own eyes. How could that be fake? Felix just released some kind of soul-bound weapon, and the Emperor Cobra died practically instantly." Finally accepting this reality, Hendrix still tried to maintain his dignity. "Is that so? Then, he most likely has some super powerful sou

Julius asked Felix, "What about you? You should be able to leave anytime now, right?" After all, Felix was one of the favorites to win. Based on the current timeline and Julius' own progress, he figured Felix should have qualified by now. "I've passed this round. Let's go. I'll stick with you." Julius felt touched. It was almost impossible to receive such help during preliminaries. With a strong fighter accompanying him, he would face almost no life-threatening danger. He was sure only Xenon would do something like this for him. He had only known Felix for about a month, yet Felix was willing to help him out. In truth, Felix had his own interests. Julius knew a lot, so maybe he could help him address his lingering regret. "From what I've seen in the preliminaries, the highest level for martial artists seems to be Celestial Realm demonic monsters. And for soul cultivation, it tops out at Quantacore Realm, right?" Seeing Julius nod, Felix felt somewhat disappointed. "Are th

Julius burst out laughing. "You're just some weaklings from Heavenly Realm. How dare you threaten us?" He could easily take them down himself, let alone what Felix could do. He wondered where these two men got the nerve to say such words. Surprisingly, the men didn't panic at all. Instead, they sneered and said, "We might be ordinary, but I was pretty clear earlier. The one who strung up this woman is the hotshot we're with, and he's one of the championship favorites. "Fine. If you want to die, just stick around." Without a word, Felix appeared right below Helen by just taking one stride forward. As Helen fell down, both Heavenly Realm masters backed up a few steps. Looking at Helen, who had passed out from severe injuries, Felix didn't feel particularly emotional. Anyone who entered the preliminaries had prepared themselves for death. Surviving this situation already counted as incredible luck. He could also tell Helen hadn't been violated. It looked more like someone had

Hendrix's Starmark had to be full already by now. He could leave anytime, which meant he probably wouldn't follow the fighter's code anymore. One of the Heavenly Realm masters was trying to score points, so he shouted at Felix without noticing the raging emotions in Hendrix's eyes, "Such nerve! How dare you speak to Mr. Freeman like that? Who do you think you are?" "Hmm?" As Hendrix tilted his head, the man who had just spoken exploded into pieces. At the same time, he said, "How dare you interrupt a chat between strong martial artists like us?" The other Heavenly Realm master had cold sweat pouring down his forehead, grateful he hadn't opened his mouth. Otherwise, he would be dead, too. "I know about you, Felix. You're also one of the championship favorites, and you fought your way up from a developing planet on your own strength. I'll respect the fighter's code. You can go." Felix nodded and left with Helen. To him, this outcome seemed reasonable. Only Julius was extremel

"Lord Tyrone, I—" Felix spoke but was quickly interrupted.Tyrone quickly said, "Don't rush! Once you make a choice, it's final. I hope you'll be able to think twice before you choose."Jerry motioned with his eyes, asking Felix to continue listening. "Let me tell you about Earth first. It has a level three technological development and a soul power of level two. To compare, the highest level is nine," Tyrone explained.Felix felt bitter at the explanation. No wonder they called Earth a barbarian planet. Their levels were so low. It wasn't even half."I'll recommend three planets. The first one is Morning Star. It's on level five technological development and level four soul power. There are three Royal Realm fighters and two Soul Overlord Realm fighters."If you choose it, the planet will be yours. All the citizens there will be under you. If they dared to disobey, Star Alliance would dispose of them immediately."Damn! Three Royal Realm fighters and two Soul Overlord Realm fi

That being said, Chelsea knew better. Felix now owed her a favor. Since he was from Earth, his way of thinking differed from those she knew. He wasn't someone who enjoyed killing.Otherwise, the battle wouldn't have ended up with them exchanging moves. In a way, this was already considered mercy. "Alright," Felix replied with a small nod. His mind finally settled. Although he had formed the Way of Mind and created his own techniques, he was always worried. After all, no one knew who would win the grand finals until the last moment. Now, Felix felt like he could finally breathe. Earth had hope…The aircraft holding the Orions had quickly left. The air inside was tense, and everyone felt horrible. They had no idea that this was how the grand finals would go. Felix was the champion! Everyone knew he would choose Earth as his protected planet.That way, the Orions had to find another opportunity to invade Earth, and they had no idea when that would come. The Orions' loss in this c

After countering Felix's attack, Chelsea's breathing turned rapid. She was no longer as steady as before. However, the glint in her eyes grew brighter, as if it were the first time she was forced into such a situation."How awesome…" she murmured in admiration. On the other hand, Felix was also full of admiration. Chelsea was definitely amazing. Despite being in a higher realm, she still hadn't formed the Way of Mind. Without the Way of Mind, she couldn't use her strength to its true extent.After merely two moves, Chelsea had countered both. Although she had been defensive all this time, it was still terrifying. Only those who formed the Way of Mind knew the true meaning of intent behind a casual attack.Since Chelsea didn't ask to stop the fight, Felix didn't hold back. This was his way of showing respect to a strong fighter.Felix raised his hand, seemingly throwing a casual punch. "Star-shattering Punch!"When he named this move, he had been harboring a lot of hatred. He ima

A few minutes later, the anticipated battle came. Felix and Chelsea stood across from each other, waiting for the start to be announced."Please don't hold back. I truly hope to gain your respect," Chelsea said.She knew that Felix had condensed the Way of Mind, yet she still dared to speak so boldly. It showed her confidence in her own strength."Alright, I won't hold back," Felix agreed. In terms of strength, Chelsea was definitely in the top tier. After all, she had reached the Nebular Realm and was entering the Royal Realm soon. It was pretty impressive for a fighter her age to reach the Royal Realm.Chelsea was still young, and her future would be incredibly limitless. On the other hand, Felix was still in the Nebular Realm, an entire realm below her.As soon as the start was announced, Chelsea's hair turned white as it danced in the wind. Felix went into his fighting stance and sent out a blast with one hand."Dragon Slayer Palm!"Felix had developed the technique himsel

The rule meant Hendrix had only one chance. If he won against the woman, he would take fifth place, and she would fall to sixth. Of course, he picked someone whom he was confident of beating.In fact, most of the audience knew that Hendrix was capable of being in the top five. The woman whom he picked sneered and rushed toward the island.The battle quickly finished.Hendrix's body went back to its normal size—he had won! He was now in fifth place, and from his expression, it was clear that he had no regrets about his choice. He knew his limits well.The remaining four in the winning group returned to the island as they had to draw numbers again. This time, Chelsea was the first one to draw. The card turned and showed the number one. It seemed like she had a special connection with the number.The next person who went up was Felix. The audience looked expectantly at him with widened eyes. They were all thinking the same thing—was Felix going to fight Chelsea immediately?Howeve

After missing the first blow, Hendrix didn't stop at all. He went straight for the throat, falling into close combat as if he were afraid that Felix would continue to attack him with soul techniques. However, Hendrix guessed wrong. Felix didn't dodge the second blow. Instead, he raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pressed it against Hendrix's fist. "This is for when you allowed me to save Helen. If you continue to fight, I won't be too polite anymore," Felix said.Hendrix was stunned. He knew how strong his punch was; most people couldn't take it. However, Felix not only took it but also used only one finger, leaving Hendrix at a loss for words.Clearly, Felix was only a Nebular Realm fighter, but why was their strength gap so big? A bitter smile spread across Hendrix's face, and his throat closed up. Still, he said, "I surrender."His life was precious, and he didn't harbor any ill will toward Felix, so why would he continue to fight? After all, from what wa

As soon as Chelsea's finger touched a card, it turned and displayed the number one. Hendrix immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were no longer any tricks at this point, it all depended on their strengths and luck.If anyone met Chelsea in the first round, then it would definitely affect the morale of the rest of the battles. After Chelsea, several people jumped out simultaneously, including Lachlan and Felix. When Felix touched a card, it revealed the number three.Hendrix quickly frowned and looked over. There was another person he didn't want to fight—Felix.During the two days of rest, he talked a lot with Yvian. Of course, he had learned some things, like the cooperation with Lyle and Felix. This made him feel unsettled, but he didn't expect that they would meet.Once everyone had drawn their numbers, Chelsea and another player who had drawn the same number stayed on the island. The rest temporarily left the island."Begin!"The fight between the two start

Holly was right—Felix could no longer question it. He smiled bitterly as he realized he had no choice in the matter. He thought for a while before suggesting, "What about this, if you're really part of their family, come back to Earth with me after the competition. Can you do that?"Holly agreed willingly. "Of course, I'm looking for family. That isn't an issue."Once Holly left, she contacted someone. A look of astonishment flashed in her eyes as she read Felix's information."Oh? I didn't expect this guy to be so well-known! Has Star Alliance already contacted him and offered a position as the Elder of External Affairs?"Given this information, it was evident just how powerful Holly's connections were. After all, not many people in Star Alliance knew of it.Since they were offering him the position of Elder of External Affairs, it seemed that Felix had already formed the Way of Mind. Holly didn't expect someone from such a barbaric planet to be so powerful."How interesting

Felix's expression fell immediately, and he tried to push the woman away. "Are you crazy? Get out!"However, as he closed the door, the woman stopped it from shutting. "You're a contestant in this year's Rank-Ascending Competition, right? I can sense that there's someone in Star Alliance protecting you."But there are some things you can't avoid," she said. "Either you take this chance to talk to me, or I'll ask myself. It shouldn't be difficult to find out where you're from."Felix realized the seriousness of her words as he gazed at the woman. She could sense the higher-ups secretly protecting him, but at least she couldn't figure out who he was—in other words, this woman was extremely powerful.No matter her purpose, if she really went to Earth, who could stop her? Since the Rank-Ascending Competition hadn't ended yet, and with Earth still a mess, who could stop the invasion?"Fine, come in," Felix relented.The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. "Hahaha! This is the at
