Timothy could not avoid the blade in time as he was still recovering from his previous move. It sliced through his right thigh, instantly revealing his bone as blood sprayed outward. "Damn it! He doesn't feel pain, does he?" Then it hit him–of course Solomon felt nothing. He was Dexter's zombie creation now. Catching movement out of the corner of his eyes, Timothy fought through the pain. He made a feint before charging straight at Dexter, who stood watching from his perch on the boulder. Despite Timothy's rapid approach, Dexter's face showed only amusement and no fear. "You think you're worthy to face me?" Dexter sneered.Just as Timothy expected, Solomon moved with frightening speed to block his path. As minutes ticked by, wounds appeared across Solomon's body as exhaustion creeped into his features. Though Timothy's elite guards tried to assist, Dexter's four zombies, who were equally immune to pain and injury, kept them thoroughly occupied. "Mr. Hunter, Solomon could ac

Timothy stood frozen in shock. Felix had severed both of Dexter's legs with just a flick of his finger, leaving the notorious criminal barely clinging to life with just his upper body. At that moment, Timothy understood something. Felix had to have achieved the Innate Realm. Nothing else explained such overwhelming power. Good God, wasn't Felix just supposed to be a traditional medicine practitioner? Sure, the best practitioners train in both medicine and martial arts, but this is ridiculous! "Perhaps this is your destiny." Felix gazed into Solomon's struggling eyes before striking with his palm. In that final moment, Solomon managed to smile. It was rigid and unnatural but filled with unmistakable relief. "Mr. Hunter, would you call this self-defense?" Felix asked.Timothy let out a bitter laugh, his demeanor now completely different from their first meeting. "Absolutely." With one step, Felix sent Dexter's four zombie warriors flying, never to rise again. Timothy's men rus

"Yes. Lady Summers is at the foot of the mountain," Timothy said. "I'm not part of your organization, so there's no point for me to claim credit. Give them all to Xena," stated Felix. Watching Felix vanish, Timothy examined his battered body and sighed deeply. "Damn! The ladies really do have it better."…At the mountain's base, Xena and Alistair grew anxious as time dragged on. "Lady Summers, could something have gone wrong?" Alistair asked.Xena shook her head. "That's unlikely. Timothy reached the level of Martial Saint last year. He should be able to handle Dexter."Just then, Alistair spotted movement. "They're coming!" They rushed forward, shocked to see Timothy's battered state and torn clothes. "Did Dexter escape?" Timothy pointed. "His legs did. The rest of him is right here." One of his men emerged as he dragged the unconscious Dexter over. The sight of his severed legs was gruesome, but the mission was accomplished. "You need treatment at the Wolfie troops

Felix's expression remained neutral when he heard the mention of Xena. He knew Nala must have been eavesdropping when he spoke about treating Lionel over the satellite phone. It was ridiculous. Did he need Nala's permission to interact with women now? "Fine." He took the phone as he was curious about Nala's game. Nala's voice came through after the call was connected, "I assume you only took this call because it concerns Xena, right?" Felix's tone was cold. "Since you know that, skip the small talk. We have nothing to discuss." He heard her breath quicken slightly before she continued. "Very well. Straight to the point. I have evidence of Xena's violations. Once reported and verified, she'll lose her position as the Phoenix Warlord." Felix furrowed his brows before letting out a short laugh. "Interesting. What's the deal here? Are you going to ask me to sleep with you, and you'll hand over the evidence?" "You... You scoundrel!" Nala was furious, and even Yvonne gaped in d

Felix rode the electric scooter onto the campus of Shunnington University, smiling as he watched the energetic students coming and going. It reminded him of his own college days. The security was quite relaxed, and they let him ride right in. He stopped near the basketball court where they promised to meet. He watched the students play while waiting. Nancy was teaching a class. She told him on WhatsApp to come later and that she would wait for him at the gate, but Felix declined. The entrance was too busy. It was quieter here and less troublesome. Felix was still watching the game when a basketball flew his way, but he caught it with one hand. "Thanks, man!" He tossed it back with a smile, and the game continued. About 20 minutes later, some students rushed past. Their conversation caught Felix's attention. "Hurry up!""I'm running! Are you sure that Azurian guy Drake Sterling is back?" "Obviously! Why else would I call you to watch? But it's understandable. Ms. Yonder i

Felix's expression darkened. Xena had been taken away right after sending him that message. "Did they say why?" "They just said they need her to 'cooperate with an investigation.' But it can't be good! Mr. Zeller, when the Disciplinary Affairs Committee shows up from headquarters, it means serious trouble. They don't appear unless something's very wrong." Last night's conversation with Nala flashed through Felix's mind. His eyes glinted coldly. "Got it." After hanging up, he quickly called Hector, who answered promptly. "Felix, are you calling about Phoenix Warlord?" Given Hector's intelligence, he must have noticed something between them when Xena had asked about Felix last time."Yes, Mr. Downy. How serious is it?" "It depends on how the committee classifies it. This morning, headquarters received an anonymous tip claiming that during her time as the goddess of war, Xena abused her position to help her uncle, Perry Glover, establish Goldwind Chamber of Commerce. "She als

"Sorry, Nancy. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'm heading back now." Nancy smiled. "I just called out since you hadn't gone far. Take care on your way back." Her eyes showed no suspicion, so Felix left. What had started as an excuse was now a genuine emergency. Almost immediately after Felix disappeared, someone approached Nancy. "Cici, who was that?" The one asking the question was Drake, the subject of the students' earlier gossip and the owner of the Porsche.Nancy's smile vanished instantly. "Are we that close? And how many times have I told you not to call me Cici?" As Nancy rode away on her scooter, Drake's brows furrowed deeply. Normally, having friends of the opposite sex would not be weird. But after pursuing Nancy for so long, this was the first time he had seen her give any man such a genuine smile. Something was definitely off. "Damn it! How dare that guy touch the woman I've got my eyes on? He's asking for trouble!"…At New Glory, Felix was reliev

Lionel responded without hesitation, "Felix, you saved my life. How could I ignore your request? But as I said, we can't violate principles. "Here's what I can do. I'll have them release Xena to continue her work. She'll need to stay in Canraville, waiting for the investigation's outcome." Felix was satisfied with this. Even though someone of Xena's rank would surely have comfortable accommodations, freedom was far better than detention. "Thank you, Lord Lionel." After the call ended, Lionel turned to Nala, who was sitting beside him. "You clever girl, always thinking ahead for your grandpa!" Nala smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't fool someone as shrewd as you." Lionel glared at her before sighing resignedly. "By doing this, it shows your power to Felix and uses up the debt I owed him. Nala, do you have to be so calculating? You're always planning so far ahead. Isn't it tiring to live like that?" Nala slowly raised her hands before saying, "Grandpa, I'd already be dead if

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1563
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1559
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
