The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 550
Drake laughed. "Felix, just drop the act! Even someone as rich as my dad has a mobile banking limit of 500 thousand dollars. "And you seriously think you can transfer ten million dollars just like that? Nice try at fooling everyone!" Felix turned to him with a pitying look. He said, "It must be exhausting pretending to be rich all the time."As a VIP client at Concord Bank, Felix had no such transfer limits. Before Drake could respond, Billy's eyes widened as he stared at his phone. He exclaimed, "I've received the money!"Then, he quickly composed himself and resumed his wise demeanor. "Sir, your spiritual understanding far surpasses mine. Someone of your devotion is more than welcome at Sixview Peak. Please enter!" Billy gestured grandly. Felix was not just being petty—he needed to buy those items, and money was not an issue. Besides, supporting peaceful religion seemed worthwhile.Watching Felix disappear inside, Drake began trembling as he recalled Luis' warning—he ha

While waiting for Zara's call at home, Felix received one from Seven first. Seven reported, "Mr. Zeller, I checked on Drake when I got your order. He's already on a plane to Azuria."Felix was puzzled, wondering if Drake was really scared by his display of wealth at Sixview Peak. He questioned, "Then, just execute him when he lands. Why are you asking me?" "Flair only operates within Dragonia. We haven't expanded overseas; as you know, Ms. Davis isn't interested in that direction," Seven explained with resignation. Thinking of Averill's carefree nature, Felix knew Seven was not lying. "Fine. Execute if Drake returns. Otherwise, let it go," Felix decided. Such a minor figure was not worth pursuing internationally.…As night fell, Felix drove to a coffee shop where Zara was already waiting. As she got into the passenger seat, she said, "Felix, thank you so much for helping." "If Mr. Grayson knows you're afraid of supernatural things, why would he assign you this kind of ta

Zara lowered her head, not wanting Felix to notice her disappointment. She replied, "Yes, I understand. It won't happen again."When they reached the entrance of Mourning Village, the eerie atmosphere hit them both. Felix felt a shiver creep down his spine as he stared at the darkened village ahead. It loomed like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, swallowing anyone who dared step inside and leaving no hope of return.Even standing outside, the oppressive darkness was suffocating. Felix could only imagine how it would feel to walk into the heart of it."Felix, let's put on the protective items," Zara urged.They quickly covered themselves with the various charms purchased from Sixview Peak. Felix was unsure if he was doing it to humor Zara or to settle his unease, but he did not mind the slight comfort it brought.Even as a powerful martial artist, Felix understood that the human fear of ghosts and the unknown could not simply be dismissed with brave words. With everything in pl

When they reached the corner, both black and white figures had vanished. However, Felix's lips curled into a slight smile as he muttered, "Well, I'm not going to be the one regretting this."Still carrying Zara, Felix raised his right hand slightly and then brought it down decisively. A thunderous crash echoed through the village, and a deep crater appeared about 300 feet away.Felix walked to the edge of the crater, gently set Zara down, and turned on his phone's flashlight. Zara gasped and covered her mouth in horror. Inside the crater lay two men, bloodied and severely injured."I knew there were no ghosts—just people playing tricks," Felix said as he crouched down. He continued, "Tell me. What makes two Martial Emperors play ghosts in some abandoned village? And how did you create those ghostly voices?"The two men paled with fear and stared at Felix as if he were a monster. The fact that a single strike from him had left them in this state spoke volumes about his strength.

Xena and Alistair were already at the scene with numerous Wolfie troops members, having arrived in multiple helicopters. "Mr. Zeller, we'll take them in for questioning. Thank you for your help," Alistair said."Are you feeling suspicious about this incident?" Xena asked. When Felix nodded, she continued, "Dragonia is vast. Despite Mourning Village's supernatural reputation, there were never any casualties, so previous investigations were merely for show—they found nothing and left."That made sense. With no death, it would surely not get much attention. Felix had to admit that Polaris' strategy was clever. They scared people, but they never crossed the line into actual harm."Will the Martial Alliance handle this?" Felix inquired. Xena shook her head firmly and explained, "No. Given the severity of the situation, I've received authorization from headquarters to handle this personally. Anyone from Polaris involved will face the consequences."She added, "We can't let people s

"Why would Medic's Haven's enforcement team want anything with me?" Felix asked, puzzled. He had never interfered with their affairs."I'm not sure of the details, but they claim you've insulted them and want to investigate," Silas explained.Felix immediately thought of Ethan and believed this had to be his doing. He smirked—Malcolm had already retreated, yet Ethan still dared to act out. "Got it. Thanks for the heads-up," Felix replied casually.Silas sensed Felix's underlying mood and added, "Just be careful. You know how Medic's Haven operates. "While most members are reasonable, their enforcement team is notoriously aggressive. Try to be diplomatic. If the investigation goes smoothly, this might blow over. Don't antagonize them." Felix knew Silas meant well, so he gave a polite response. Still, Felix was not the kind to bow his head over something he did not do. If they wanted trouble, they would get exactly what they asked for."Everything really was under Mr. Grayson'

Hansel was completely enraged to be touched. "Son of a bitch! Idiots show up every day, but today's count is off the charts! Do you have a death wish?"He spun around and threw a punch, only to stop midway."Excuse me? You didn't park your car properly. How could you blame others instead of owning up to it?"Hansel froze. When he got a good look at Felix, he nearly passed out from fright. "Mr. Z-Zeller!"Releasing his grip, Felix frowned. "Who are you?"Gulping, Hansel retreated, his face pale with fear. "I-I'm one of Mr. Luis' guys. I've seen you before."He began to slap himself repeatedly as he spoke. The smacks echoed loudly as he hit himself with all his strength."Mr. Zeller, please give me another chance! I'm begging you!"Felix felt a little frustrated. "Just move your car away. I'll let Luis decide your punishment.""Thank you, Mr. Zeller!"Only then did Felix notice Nancy standing nearby. "Nancy, are you heading out of town?"Nancy hadn't expected Felix to swoop in

Yvonne's wrists bore deep gashes. Blood seeped from her wounds, pooling across the floor. A knife lay nearby. Its presence made it glaringly obvious that Yvonne had slit her wrists.After what felt like an eternity, Yvonne slowly opened her eyes."Is this… hell?"As her faint words trailed off, a voice answered her, "Do you want to go to hell that badly?"Turning around, she saw Felix standing nearby, his face noticeably paler than usual."Felix? Did… Did you save me?"Felix's expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on her. "What else could I have done? Do you think I would've let you die? Yvonne, what were you thinking? Why did you try to kill yourself?"The room showed no signs of a struggle. While Yvonne would've been helpless facing a highly skilled fighter, things wouldn't be so messy if that were the case. The most likely explanation was that Yvonne truly intended to end her own life.Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned away."Lady Nala ordered me to die. How coul

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
