Chapter 1611

Author: Dreamy Fire
The Malevolent Phantom across from Felix furrowed his brows. "Malevolent Phantom? What's that supposed to be?"

Felix chuckled, only then remembering that was what Earthlings called them. Of course, this guy wouldn't recognize the name.

But before he could reply, the creature burst into manic laughter. "I get it now. You must be from some backwater planet our kin are currently evaluating, right?"

Felix kept smiling. "That's right. And what do you think happened to your kind once they were done?"

Since there was a connection, the Phantom wasn't in any rush to attack. "You're one of those rare last-minute qualifiers. Not many barbarians from undeveloped planets get selected to join the Starmark and compete in the Rank-Ascending Competition.

"Even if you made it in, what do you think you can really accomplish? You passed the preliminary, sure, but deep down, you must know you don't even have the strength to crack the top ten."

The Malevolent Phantom clearly knew quite a bit. Since

    But before Felix could finish speaking, the old man, Alaife, exploded in anger. "Bullshit! You're a Malevolent Phantom! Your whole damn family are Malevolent Phantoms! A man of my status? Compared to those things? Get real!"For a moment, Felix was completely stunned. He had never seen someone yell at him while keeping such a kind, beaming smile on their face. Even though Alaife was cursing him out, his warm smile never wavered. It somehow felt so natural that it made Felix's head spin, and honestly, part of him wanted to say, "Thank you, I guess?""Felix," Alaife said in a friendly tone. "Ever since you stepped into the Tower of Divinity, I've been aware of you. But some rules can't be broken. I had to wait until you reached the ninth floor before I could meet you."Right then, Felix sensed that something was off. Alaife didn't carry even the slightest trace of hostility. He wondered if this was some kind of hidden trial in the Tower of Divinity.Considering how brutal the ninth

    Felix glared furiously. "Sir, you're seriously pushing it now. The Tower of Divinity offers me nothing, and now, I can't return to the Tower of Babel, either? What, are both towers controlled by the same spirit? Do you get to call all the shots now?"But the moment he said it, something felt off. "Even if you are a spirit, you can't possibly have that much authority. Fine. I'll report this to Star Alliance."Alaife didn't flinch, and that same infuriating smile stayed on his face. "Go ahead. But once Star Alliance comes knocking, I'll have no choice but to reveal that you possess a Destiny Crystal."He sighed and added, "I'm getting old. Even as a tower spirit, my memory's not what it used to be. I can't seem to recall how the alliance tends to treat people with Destiny Crystals…"Felix let out a long sigh, knowing he was thoroughly checkmated. "Then, give me a reason."Alaife's smile deepened. He replied, "You already condensed the Way of Mind inside the Tower of Babel. Going any

    While Felix was resting, there were actually two old men at the very top of the Tower of Divinity. One was the same spirit who had met with Felix, Alaife. The other, who bore a striking resemblance to him, was the spirit of the Tower of Babel, Delic.Both of them stood with respectful expressions, their gazes fixed ahead, toward a man with an almost delicate beauty.Yes, a man—his features were soft and symmetrical, and his skin was so pale that it looked almost ethereal, nearly impossible to describe in words."Sir," the two spirits said in unison, bowing low.If anyone had seen this moment, they would've been absolutely shaken—because it meant that the man standing before them was the true master of both towers."The Star-Seers… No matter how vast the cosmos becomes, they always manage to find the next savior. After all these years, even I haven't figured out how they do it," the soft-featured man murmured with admiration. Alaife replied, "With your divine insight, sir, if Fel

    Days passed, one after another. What had once shocked everyone gradually became routine and, eventually, just background noise.At first, people thought that Felix spending a whole month on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel was already mind-blowing. But then, he entered the ninth floor of the Tower of Divinity and still didn't come out.With only three days left before the one-year training phase ended, the unthinkable had happened—Felix still hadn't shown up.Julius mumbled, "Dude, tell me I'm not hallucinating."Most had stopped entering the towers by now. With just three days left, no one expected any significant progress, so they were all resting outside, including Xenon and Julius. Xenon scoffed. "You think it's just you? Everyone's watching. I gotta say, man, this guy really doesn't take the normal route."Julius shook his head, clearly torn between awe and disbelief. Felix was still on the ninth floor of the Tower of Divinity, which was unheard of. Everyone knew the

    At this point, the area beneath the Towers was no longer bustling with crowds like before. The only two people still waiting around were Julius and Xenon. They both knew Felix had to come out today, no matter what. It wasn't until sunset that Felix finally appeared."Felix, I thought you were planning to drop out of the finals altogether," Julius said.Felix frowned at first, but he managed a weak smile when he realized who was speaking. "Oh, it's you guys. You've been waiting for me?""Obviously! Come on, let's grab a drink. The finals start tomorrow," Julius said.Felix nodded and followed them, still slightly dazed. To him, it felt like nearly two years had passed. He'd already lost a month early on, so technically, it had been a year and ten months. Felix had stayed so long inside the Tower of Divinity without feeling tired or hungry—it was like Alaife had somehow suppressed those needs. He had frowned earlier because, after all that time, he had managed to create his own cul

    Chelsea had appeared out of nowhere, dropped that one line, and vanished without another word.Felix smiled faintly in response, but Julius and Xenon felt a chill run down their spines as they wondered what was happening. After all, Chelsea was currently ranked number one, undisputed. So, why would she be looking forward to fighting someone like Felix, who barely scraped into the top 50?The two exchanged confused glances before looking at Felix, who only shrugged and smiled. "Don't look at me. I've got no idea either."None of it made any sense. They couldn't wrap their heads around whatever Chelsea was up to.Now, trying to shift gears, Felix asked, "So the upcoming matches are all one-on-one, right?"Julius nodded. "Yeah, that's for sure. The format always varies slightly, but it's always solo duels in the end."If they followed Earth's old-school tournament style, 200 people doing one-on-one matches would take forever. Felix only considered it for a second, though, because he

    Each of the floating islands had people gathered on them, but the front row—closest to the thick white mist—was lined with ornate thrones. It was clear at a glance that anyone sitting on those thrones wasn't your average bystander.Behind the thrones, more spectators hovered midair, suspended in the sky as if gravity didn't apply to them. However, every single person had their eyes locked on the white mist ahead. On one of the islands, a pair of twins sat side by side on their thrones, engaged in quiet conversation. The younger twin, Diego Sweeney, leaned toward his brother and asked, "Galileo, have you made up your mind on your bet? The finals are about to kick off."Galileo Sweeney replied calmly, "Chelsea's odds are way too low. There's no point betting on her—I want to go big.""Fair. No one expected Star Alliance to shake things up by bringing in the Towers. With that kind of data, it's pretty obvious Chelsea will win. But if that's how you feel, who are you putting your mone

    Every year, during the finals of the Rank-Ascending Competition, the betting market opened—and it was always a high-stakes affair. Some families became overnight billionaires, while others lost everything. Since Star Alliance itself hosted the betting pool, there was no limit to how much you could wager, so the numbers involved were staggering.While the crowd outside the mist was going wild placing bets, inside the fog lay a massive mountain. All across the slopes were stone-built structures, clearly the product of some grand architectural feat. Whoever had designed it hadn't just built on the mountain—they had turned the entire mountain into a fortress-like city.Felix stood at the base, with the nearest competitors over half a mile away on either side. At his current level, that distance shouldn't have affected his vision at all—yet the others appeared as nothing more than vague silhouettes, just barely human-shaped.This was the doing of the white mist. According to the rule

    "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!
