Kennedy nodded with a smile. "You read me well. I value my life. My family's foundation runs deep, with several Innate Realm masters and even some who surpass that level. However, risking conflict with you over someone like Jaden simply isn't worth it."Felix found this increasingly intriguing. "Is that so? Please elaborate."Kennedy rubbed his hands together and continued, "The Innate Realm represents an almost impossible barrier for martial artists to cross. Those of lower ranks can't comprehend how difficult it is to kill an Innate Realm master."Even if you succeed, the risk is unbelievable. Who would want to provoke one? If they're a lone wolf, they could hunt you down anywhere, and there'd be nothing you could do about it." Felix waved his hand, recognizing the truth in these words. "Fair enough. Your words make sense. You may go."After Felix left, Kennedy breathed a sigh of relief. "Good grief. When did Dragonia produce such a formidable martial artist? He reached the Inn

"There's still another car?" Xena asked in disbelief.Felix's statement left Xena puzzled."What do you mean?" she asked, glancing at the nearby Range Rover. She recognized it was Felix's car."There are three more inside. All of them are S-rank wanted criminals.""What?" Xena was stunned. S-rank fugitives were dangerous enough on their own, even if they weren't as fearsome as the Thirteen Aces. They were usually hiding, making them hard to capture. Yet Felix had managed to bring in four of them all at once?Ten minutes later, they arrived at Xena's office."So you're saying, as you were about to leave this afternoon, you found these four men tied up outside your gate, completely incapacitated?" Xena asked in disbelief.Felix nodded. "Yeah, I was just as surprised as you, so I brought them all over."In reality, Felix was a bit frustrated. He had only asked Seven to capture one S-rank fugitive. However, he went above and beyond and delivered four.Felix knew why Seven went thi

"What are you talking about?" Sherlyn pouted. "My grandfather truly has something important to discuss with you."Felix sighed, deciding to be direct with her. He genuinely didn't want her to waste her time on him. "Sherlyn, you deserve better happiness. Don't waste your time on me."Unexpectedly, Sherlyn wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I ever feel there's no hope at all, I'll leave. A woman's intuition is quite accurate, you know."Since she had made up her mind, what else could Felix do?Just then, footsteps sounded again, and Felix stood up quickly. To his surprise, even Sherlyn's father, Isaac, was there. It seemed that this matter wasn't a simple one. However, what could Felix possibly help with? After all, to everyone else, he was just an ordinary person now. He had no plans to reveal that he had regained his strength as his current situation was rather nice."Hello, Mr. Holt Senior and Mr. Holt."After the three of them sat down, Isaac broke

Felix could barely hold back his frustration. If it weren't for the presence of Ernest and others inside, he might have shouted."You old geezer, do I even have your contact information? How was I supposed to report to you?" Gerald's shameless behavior was something he was well acquainted with. The voice on the other end sounded as nonchalant as ever."So, you succeeded then! Doesn't it feel wonderful to break through and rebuild yourself?" Felix had to admit it was true."Yes," he replied simply."Now that your strength has advanced to the Innate Realm, don't go bothering your fellow apprentices anymore, understand?" Felix had expected this. The thrill of being able to rely on his fellow apprentices' resources over the past month was clearly short-lived."Understood. However, there's one more thing I would like to report, Mr. Hoffman. It's about the Shadowdragon Warlord."After Felix was done explaining, he could hear Gerald's voice lower in tone."That old coot is still

Just as Ernest finished speaking, a loud, grumbling voice came from inside the room."Ernest! Who are you calling an old man?"The voice sounded robust, hardly like that of a sick person. Ernest put on an embarrassed smile. The man was, after all, his old superior. His rebukes were warranted.As Felix passed Nala, he ignored her entirely. However, he had already picked up on something–the relationship between Lionel and Nala wasn't an ordinary one. Given the way Ernest spoke to her, they might even be family."If Ernest hadn't brought you, I wouldn't even let you set foot inside this door, Felix!" Nala's gaze was impassive, but her disdain was palpable. She wasn't one to be swayed by emotions, but the incident with the Walsh family had infuriated her. Although the agreement with the Walsh family still stood, it grated on her that someone she had labeled as useless dared flaunt himself in her presence. Had he come to curry favor with Shadowdragon Warlord using his past ties with

As Felix's words echoed through the room, even Lionel was momentarily stunned despite his vast experiences. He had long since given up hope of a cure, so his surprise was only natural. Ernest and Isaac, who always believed in Felix, were immediately filled with uncontainable excitement. For men of their caliber and integrity, this wasn't about personal gain or reputation. They were genuinely praying for Lionel's health.Only Nala's gaze remained icy."Felix! Do you think this is a joke? So many master healers have tried and failed, yet you think you can? Maybe once upon a time, I would've believed it. However, given your current skills, stop joking around!"Felix ignored her and looked directly at Lionel. "Would you permit me to give it a try, My Lord?"Lionel, who had snapped out of his shock, laughed heartily."Why wouldn't I agree? True healers never enter a battle they're not prepared for. While I am not afraid of the outcome, I must ask you how confident you are.""A hun

How could that be possible? Hadn't Felix lost his martial abilities? Silas personally confirmed it, and she had been there to witness it. However, just one month later, he had not only regained his strength but also ascended to the Innate Realm."Very impressive, young man. It's remarkable that you reached the Innate Realm at such a young age!" Lionel chuckled, clearly impressed. It made him even happier, especially because Felix was a patriot.Nala, her expression conflicted, shot Felix a hard look before turning and leaving the room. Since he had reached the Innate Realm, it was clear that his medical skills had not only returned but likely surpassed his previous level. She couldn't possibly continue to argue."Did you ever refine a specific bone, My Lord?" Felix asked once they were alone in the wooden house.Lionel's gaze shifted instantly. "Can you detect that bone's presence? Felix nodded. "Yes, and I'm certain that your current condition was caused by that bone."In fact,

Felix fell silent before standing up. "If that's your decision, then I have nothing more to say."To his surprise, Lionel chuckled. "I was just joking. How could I possibly risk my life for that bone? Go ahead with the treatment."It was all a test to see if Felix truly understood the nature of the bone. Felix hadn't given away anything, so the Warlord felt reassured.Felix felt a little helpless. Dealing with these experienced veterans was truly nerve-wracking. Even a minor reaction could have complicated things. Gerald had been right. Only those who practiced the Dragons Destroyer technique could safely refine an ancient dragon's spine. Anyone else, like Lionel with his unorthodox approach, was bound to face problems sooner or later.Outside, Nala sat on a small bench in the courtyard, lost in thought.To be honest, she had always had men wrapped around her finger, but Felix was different. Not only did he seem unaffected by her charm, but he had also, strangely, become an enig

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

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

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."

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

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

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
