The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 325
In Dragonia, martial arts had ancient roots. The modern ranking was simple. Anyone below a Martial King was just called a martial artist. Only those who were Martial Kings or above would be respected in those circles.Above Martial King were levels most could only dream of. For example, there was a Martial Emperor, a Martial God, and a Martial Saint. Felix was now a martial artist who had achieved the level of a Martial Saint. Most old-timers died without being able to reach that level. To achieve it so young, Felix had to be even better than a prodigy to make it possible. So Baldo became utterly excited watching Felix drag himself from the rubble. As he was just a Martial Emperor, the chance to rough up a Martial Saint, who was also a genius, had him shaking with excitement. "I'll take my time with you!" Baldo moved in as he switched from fist to palm. First, he wanted to slap Felix, as nothing could be more disrespectful than that. "Know your place!" Felix roared. As his foo

Just then, the flute's melody shifted dramatically, causing Vilebane to turn pale with shock as he felt an invisible force slam into his body. When Felix looked over, he found Vilebane collapsed on the ground, his limbs twisted in hideous angles that barely resembled anything human anymore.Terror filled the dying man's eyes as he struggled to form his last words. "W-Why are you here? Why…" With Vilebane's last breath, Felix felt his own strength giving out. Just as he was about to fall backward, he noticed a sweet, floral scent filling the air, and someone caught him. "Well done, Felix," Karina said.Looking up at the breathtaking beauty before him, Felix managed a weak smile before losing consciousness. This was Karina, ranked third among the senior apprentices in terms of power. While he had always known about her abilities, this was his first time witnessing her in action, and it was absolutely mind-blowing. Vilebane, who had nearly killed Felix, did not even make

To be honest, Felix had always seen the nine senior apprentices as potential partners, but he was also a man of principles. Even now, with temptation at its peak, he held firm to his values. Karina's purple dress had fallen, and she stood there only in her undergarments. She was the definition of perfection, with curves in all the right places and a face that could mesmerize any man who laid eyes on it. Nonetheless, Felix held himself back, resisting the urge to pull her onto the bed. He stuttered, "Karina, I-I haven't resolved my engagement situation yet."Karina's slight blush only made her more alluring. "But I can't just use words when I ask someone for help. I have nothing else to offer, so I can only offer myself. Don't worry, we don't have to tell anyone."Could he really? If it were that simple, he would have made a move on Averill long ago. He replied, "That's not necessary, Karina. I'd move heaven and earth to help you anyway!"Karina slipped her dress back on with

The phone call had mentioned that Jack's injuries were severe, and Felix had been prepared to rush straight into surgery to save him. Yet, here he was at a ward."Jack!" One look at his friend lying in the hospital bed told Felix everything he needed to know—aside from some surface wounds, Jack was fine enough to recover at home."Nurse, what's going on here?" Felix asked, confused.The nurse smiled, seemingly expecting his question. "Your friend got lucky. A master healer happened to be giving a lecture in our traditional medicine department and rushed over as soon as they heard about the accident."Felix breathed a sigh of relief, glad his best friend was okay. He had been absolutely terrified during the drive over."Do you know what caused the accident?" he asked the nurse.The nurse nodded and explained, "A drunk driver hit your friend's car. The driver died instantly. Only Mr. Graham and one passenger from the other car made it to the hospital with serious injuries."Felix

Felix narrowed his eyes as he studied the young man. Between the photos Kane had shown him and the fact that this stranger knew his name, he was sure this was Jaden."Jaden, I never expected we'd meet like this," Felix said.Suddenly, Zara stepped between them, fixing Jaden with a serious look. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked, sensing his murderous intent. Jaden took a few steps forward, his gaze blazing with cold fury. "Step aside, Zara. Felix must die— I was going to handle this after our lunch, but it seems fate wants him dead sooner rather than later." "You're the one who came knocking," Felix sneered.Their hostility angered Zara. "Both of you, shut up! I'm standing right here, and neither of you better dare make a move!"Jaden fell silent for some reason, and Felix also held his tongue. Felix would not have cared about Zara's intervention in the past, but now she had earned his respect by saving Jack's life— that had to count for something. Seeing the tens

Zara sighed deeply, amazed that two exceptional men were at odds over a woman. It really was true that love could bring down even the greatest of men. "If it's about a woman, why not compete for her fairly? Jaden, you know how exceptional you are. Why resort to such extreme measures?" Zara suggested.Zara knew better than to try talking Jaden out of pursuing the woman entirely. After all their years of friendship, she understood how important this woman was to him and his mentor.Jaden frowned, clearly annoyed. "Zara, given our relationship, how can you take Felix's side? I'm really disappointed in you!" Zara reasoned, "Then you should know exactly what kind of person I am! You've seen Felix's medical skills. Do you really think he's as simple as he appears? Look, he's agreed to let bygones be bygones and won't cause you any trouble. Just stay calm and use your natural talents to win her over properly." Given their sibling-like relationship, Jaden had always respected Zara.

Felix quickly stepped out but finished delivering his message. "Mr. Summers Senior says lunch is ready."The bedroom door slammed shut as Xena sat on her bed, looking upset. Her hair was dripping wet and wrapped in a towel. Though nothing was really exposed, she felt violated.She believed this kind of scene was meant for a husband's eyes only, not Felix's. If she had known Curtis had invited Felix for lunch, she would never have chosen this time to shower. With the female housekeeper and Curtis being her own family, she felt safe enough to leave her door ajar. After all, none of them would enter without her permission. Yet, this had led to this embarrassing scene."That damn jerk!" Xena cursed, seething at the thought of Felix seeing her fresh from the shower. Ten minutes later, Xena came downstairs wearing overly modest clothing that covered everything possible."Xena, are you going out?" Curtis asked, confused since she had agreed to have lunch at home."No," she replied cu
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 332
"Your cooking is amazing, Mr. Summers Senior," Felix praised genuinely.Curtis laughed heartily. "Of course it is! That's how I won over my wife back in the day!"While the two men chatted happily, Xena was left to her own thoughts. She had initially felt a strange, inexplicable attraction to Felix, but his attitude during their initial encounter ruined that. After learning about his medical skills, she even made an effort to talk to him. Yet, his attitude remained unchanged, causing her feelings to shift once again. Just then, Xena's phone rang, and she quickly stepped into another room to answer."Lord Hector," she answered respectfully. She knew that even after her promotion to Warlady, she would maintain the same level of deference to her mentor and benefactor. "There's a concert in Canraville in three days. I want you to personally handle the security," Hector instructed. Xena almost could not believe what she heard. It was ridiculous to hear that a mere artist's concert

Julius was speechless because Felix didn't seem to be joking—he looked serious."Hey! Are you even listening to me? The lowest level ones in there are Celestial Realm Minotaurs. Are you sure you want to go in and suffer? If you really are killed by Minotaurs, no one will rescue you."Felix laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I have techniques that can go against opponents like the Minotaurs. While there's still time, I'll practice well."And just like that, Felix directly entered the Prison of Blood. Julius was speechless. They weren't close, so it wasn't his place to comment. Soon, the news of Felix entering the Prison of Blood spread, and everyone who had arrived here got the news. "Entering the Prison of Blood? Are you trying to prove yourself, or are you trying to pressure me?" Lachlan muttered to himself. His expression was calm, and even his gaze didn't falter."Even if he could really kill Celestial Realm Minotaurs, so what? After all, they're merely beasts wit

"The Aetherium Realm? With the breakthrough from Aquamarinus, that guy seemed to have the potential to win." Yusri sneered."Hahaha! So what? The preliminary round is going to be his grave. He dared to massacre my bloodline, so even if the Earth was destroyed, what would it have to do with me?"…An hour later, Julius was dragged somewhere in the yard by Felix. "What is this place for? Why didn't the guide tell me about this?" Felix asked.Not far ahead, there stood a huge iron door. Felix didn't know what was inside, but there was a sign hanging above the entrance that read, "The Prison of Blood".Julius smacked his forehead. "I forgot to tell you! I knew you would see this sooner or later, but the Prison of Blood isn't a good place. You should stay far away from it."Felix rolled his eyes and pulled him along. "Do you think this is a good place? Tell me about it."Julius could only helplessly continue, "An elder of Star Alliance created the Prison of Blood. The prisoners ins

Felix frowned. It seemed like the Orions were really going all out this time."Was it very serious?" he asked.Yusri nodded solemnly. "Yes, they crossed the line this time and are on thin ice with the rules. You should know that the Orions are determined to invade Earth this time. If they lose the competition, they will fall in the rankings. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they're desperate…"With that, Yusri said, "There are many things I can't tell you. Otherwise, I'll be going against the rules. But I wanted to ask, what realm have you reached in your soul cultivation?"Despite coming from the same planet, there was no way Felix could completely trust him. He replied immediately, "The Aetherium Realm."The expression on Yusri's face changed, and then he burst out laughing."The Aetherium Realm! Felix, you're such a surprise. I don't need to ask about your martial strength. I can feel that you've practiced the Dragons Destroyer, which means you've reached Extreme Mas

"Of course, you're right. All the personal assistants of the chiefs always wear the same burgundy clothes. She was most likely sent to create some buzz around Felix. Fortunately, he asked about it just now."Otherwise, when she showed up, we wouldn't have known what was happening," Xenon told Julius.On the other hand, Felix had no idea about all that. He just followed the lady with his head down. However, he noticed how elegant the lady in front of him was, with her burgundy tights and the sway of her hips just at the right rhythm.After arriving in front of a room, the woman stood by the door. "Head right in."Felix entered and found no one inside. Just as he was about to say something, there was a noise and footsteps. Soon, a man wrapped in a towel came out as he dried his hair."Oh, you're here. Come, have a seat."The man appeared to be in his 50s, with well-defined muscles. Felix thought it was someone from Star Alliance and that everyone might be getting private talks like

Julius and Xenon turned to each other, confused. "No, a name is too little to work with. Even just on your planet, there are too many people with the same name, not to mention the entire universe," they said.Felix knew that he was being vague. "That Yusri, he's like me. He's from Earth, and he once won third in the Rank-Ascending Competition."Julius immediately smiled when he heard this. "Well, that's great then. Not only do we know the Yusri you mentioned, but many people know him!"Xenon sighed. "Yes, Yusri is quite a brilliant person. He was against really strong people during the competition. Otherwise, he would've won that year."So they knew of him. Felix thought about it before deciding that asking wouldn't hurt. "Well, Yusri is now the chief of Star Alliance. He has a bright future ahead," Xenon said. When he realized that Felix might not understand, he added, "In Star Alliance, the Leader is the highest rank. After that, we have the deputy leaders, then the elders.

It would be a lie if Felix said he wasn't touched. He was actually one of the crowd favorites in the competition. This wasn't something he would've ever dared to think about before.After a few glasses of wine, he followed Julius to the massage parlor. Felix felt truly enlightened when he saw what was there—there were really beautiful women in the parlor, all from different races.Some had wings on their backs, some had elven ears. There really was everyone here. "Do you want a private room, or are we sharing a room?" Julius's eyes shone mischievously, and Felix sighed helplessly."Let's share a room, or do you want a private room?"Julius pouted. "I've been here for several days and feel a little tired. As I've guessed, you're probably the type who loves only one woman in life. So sure, let's share a room. Let's get a triple room."A triple room? Felix didn't ask any more questions. Two women were assigned to their rooms, and their techniques were indeed great. People with thei

It would be a lie to say that Lachlan wasn't surprised when he saw Felix. As an Orion, of course, he was aware of the entire situation.Felix was sent to Aquamarinus, a planet that was known for its deadliness.Even a genius would most likely die there. However, Felix succeeded in breaking through. Although his strength had been confirmed indirectly, Lachlan didn't take it seriously. He even told his family that there was no need to cheat.As long as he was there, Felix wouldn't be able to pass his level. Felix sneered, but didn't respond. They just met, and they were already mortal enemies. If they had a chance, they would've killed one another. So why should they even attempt to be civil?"Julius, nothing has happened yet, and you're already kissing his ass?" Lachlan laughed mockingly. Felix stayed silent, so Lachlan couldn't be bothered to mock him. Instead, Lachlan turned to Julius, who smiled."I don't need to report everything I do to you, Lachlan. Just worry about yours

This was something Felix hadn't thought of. The Orions had been too arrogant and thought their people could kill him, but they didn't anticipate the special conditions on Aquamarinus at night. If it wasn't due to that, Felix wasn't sure if he would still be alive now."Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked.Julius looked at him oddly. "My family, the Leachs, are on par with the Orions and developing fast. We don't want any conflicts with you or Earth, so tell me, why wouldn't I make friends with a strong man like you?"Since you can break out of Aquamarinus, you have the qualifications to win. At least for now, the champions of the elimination rounds in the Rank-Ascending Competition are extraordinary people."He continued, "I'm just offering help now. Once you succeed in the future, you can help me, right? I have nothing to lose, so why not try?"Felix understood his reasons. In this case, he was completely alone, and making acquaintances with the Leachs was good."How hard

As soon as Julius entered, Felix turned on the soundproof barrier and asked impatiently, "How do you know I'm from Earth?"Everyone here was a stranger, and the distance between each of their hometowns was over hundreds of thousands of miles. How could Julius tell where Felix was from so accurately?Julius looked a little helpless. "Your name is Felix, and your elimination match was on Aquamarinus. Of course, I know you're from Earth."Well, that was quite the redundant answer."No, listen to what I have to say."After motioning for Felix to sit down, Julius continued, "In the Rank-Ascending Competition, some people in power can actually cheat within the rules. Have you heard of the Orion family?"Before Felix could answer, Julius had already guessed the answer based on his gaze. "Heh, seems like Earth isn't as barbaric as everyone thought. Since you're familiar with the Orion family, it will make things easier for me."Well, you got the right information. The Orion family is th
