The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1603
Though Felix knew Helen couldn't really help, he still described his experience on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel. Helen listened with wide eyes, clearly never having heard of anything like this before. "That's so tough! If he can do everything you can do, how can you possibly win?" Felix sighed and kept drinking. If he couldn't crack this, he planned to try the Tower of Babel one more time before switching to the Tower of Divinity. But giving up on improving his martial skills felt wrong—chances like this were once in a lifetime. "Felix, my family was actually pretty powerful back in the day. Our founder, the first elder, left behind some advice. "He said that for martial artists to reach their peak, they need to grasp the Way of Mind. Without it, you can only go so far. I think if you can cultivate the Way of Mind, you'd break through your current roadblock." The Way of Mind? Felix was intrigued. "Can you tell me more about it?" Helen gave a bitter smile. "The yo

With that thought in mind, Felix gave Chelsea a respectful nod. "I should've known someone as remarkable as you would see through me." His admission seemed to soften Chelsea's icy demeanor just a bit. "At least you're not bullshitting me. I figured you'd deny everything. That would've made me look down on you." Felix's instinct was right. If he had lied, the conversation would have ended right there. "How could you tell?"Chelsea said, "It's obvious. You met a mirror image of yourself on the ninth floor who matched your every move. No matter what you threw at him, he wouldn't fall behind or get ahead." That explained absolutely nothing. How could she possibly figure anything out from that? "To understand why, we need to talk about what these two towers really are." Felix nodded. "I'm listening. And I meant what I said—I'll owe you one. After the competition ends, whatever you ask, I won't back out." He expected more snark from Chelsea, but she surprised him by saying serio

The thought of Gerald lying to Felix vanished as quickly as it came. Felix dismissed it immediately. If nothing else, Gerald would never harm him. If Gerald had really wanted him dead, he could have killed him a thousand times over. Why would he go through all this trouble?Still, he had to believe what Chelsea was saying. He'd fought his double personally and understood the implications. "To strengthen my foundation, do I need to start training from scratch?" Chelsea thought for a moment before answering, "That's one approach. Either relearn a different technique, or if you're extraordinarily gifted, create your own technique that matches your current level." Starting over was not an option. The challenges were overwhelming. First, where would he even find a powerful technique? He was a stranger here—who would help him? As for creating one, Felix didn't think he was that brilliant. It might be possible, but time was precious now. Every day spent trying to develop a techniqu

Two hours later, Felix snapped his eyes open, but there was nothing but bitterness in them. His mind was still completely blank. He couldn't calm down, let alone comprehend any practices or grasp something like the Way of Mind."I'm not going to let this ninth floor trap me forever!" Without hesitation, Felix returned to the Tower of Babel and stepped inside once again."Don't let me down this time," that familiar voice echoed through the space. Just like before, he was still on the ninth floor. The fake Felix was still there, as if he'd never left, quietly waiting for him all this time. Felix didn't waste a second and launched an attack right away. Yet, the result was the same. No matter what he did, it was always evenly matched, blow for blow."You've really let me down," that mechanical voice repeated itself, over and over. The more Felix heard it, the more frustrated he became—until suddenly, something shifted. A few punches later, his anger began to dissolve, and a strang

A month had passed, and Scopulus stood in a hidden location with a dark, furious expression as he glared at Yusri. He growled, "This brilliant idea was yours! The plan's already in motion, and there's no turning back now. So, where the hell is Felix?"Yusri looked just as dumbfounded, puzzled as to what the hell Felix was doing inside the Tower of Babel. Ever since he went back in on the first day for the second time, he had not stepped out once in an entire month. The emerald bed was already prepped and waiting for him, but if Felix refused to show up and use it, everything they set up was basically useless."He can't stay in there forever," Yusri muttered, trying to convince himself.At Felix's current level, two months without food or water would be his absolute limit. Otherwise, his body would collapse.The real question was, what in the world was Felix doing on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel for so long? Even martial artists two full realms above him couldn't survive
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1608
After an entire month of fighting purely by instinct, Felix still could not quite believe that he had actually pulled it off. Because all he could think about now was getting some rest, he did not even notice the massive commotion his return had caused.Someone exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Is that really Felix?""Yeah, that's him for sure. I can't believe he finally came out!"Another asked, "What the hell happened in there? How can anyone survive inside the Tower of Babel for a whole month? Is he even human?""Don't exaggerate. So what if it was a month? He still never made it past the ninth floor."Everywhere he went, people were voicing their shock, but that was about it. After all, Felix still hadn't stepped onto the tenth floor yet.While Felix was comfortably passed out on the emerald bed, elsewhere in the contestant district stood a dazzling building that none of the participants could ever enter. It was the residence of the three Elders of Star Alliance. At that very moment,

Felix had barely stepped out when he noticed Julius and Xenon already waiting for him. He blurted out, "You two were waiting for me?"They nodded in perfect sync. "Duh! We've been waiting the entire day."Felix was surprised that it had only been a day. He had felt so drained, yet the emerald bed had wiped away all his exhaustion in just one night. That thing really worked wonders.He asked, "And why exactly were you waiting? You guys don't have better things to do?"Julius gave a helpless shrug. "Felix, you stayed on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel for a full month without leaving. Can't we afford a couple of days to satisfy our curiosity?"Xenon didn't bother being polite. "What the hell were you even doing in there? Don't tell me it was nonstop fighting. There's no way you could've lasted that long physically."Felix chuckled. "I ran into a tricky opponent. However much force I used, he matched it exactly. We only wrapped it up yesterday."He didn't feel like getting in

This time, Lachlan didn't say a single word. He walked right past Felix like he didn't exist, as if Felix no longer posed any threat to him at all."Acting all high and mighty," Julius muttered under his breath, scoffing.Xenon let out a sigh. "Well, to be fair, the guy's got the right to be arrogant. At this point, it's almost certain that Chelsea's taking the crown, but second place? That's probably Lachlan. "Even someone like Hendrix, who's a complete maniac, doesn't seem to measure up based on their tower progress."Felix didn't say a word. He knew there was no point arguing about rankings or outcomes. In the end, only actions and results would speak the loudest.When Felix stepped into the Tower of Divinity, a few people immediately noticed, and many of them chuckled mockingly. If he had gone back into the Tower of Babel, people might've assumed he was working on a breakthrough. However, the fact that he went into the Tower of Divinity instead made it look like he was givi

"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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1638
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
