The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 602
Another member of the Eight Great Martial Families? That made sense, considering Rosalyn was Jeffrey's friend."Hello, Mr. Zeller." Rosalyn put on no airs when she gave a slight bow with nervous eyes. "Hello. If you're ready, let's begin." Felix had already pinpointed the Dragonspine on her body. The thing was not large, so it was easy to conceal. When he first saw a Dragonspine, Felix had asked Gerald why it was so small. Shouldn't a dragon's spine be massive? Gerald's honest answer was that he did not know either. "Yes. Let's go to the bedroom."After saying that, Rosalyn walked ahead. Felix whispered teasingly to Jeffrey, "Is she your girlfriend?" Though Felilx seemed to be joking, he actually wanted to learn more about her to figure out how to get the Dragonspine. "Don't get the wrong idea, Mr. Zeller. We're just friends. Besides, I'm engaged. I'll be getting married soon," Jeffrey replied.Felix smiled without comment and followed Rosalyn. He closed the door behind th

The atmosphere in the bedroom was incredibly awkward. Rosalyn kept her head down as she was torn by indecision. Her opponent had been devious enough to land the Glacial Strike right on her bottom. More importantly, it had affected part of her thigh too. This meant that treatment would require exposing not just half but her entire bottom to access the thigh area. "Isn't… isn't there another way?" Rosalyn asked.Felix gave a wry smile. "If there was, I'd have suggested it already. I need to apply acupuncture at the source to completely dispel the rimefrost energy. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to do it." Meanwhile, Felix was still plotting how to get the Dragonspine. He could sense it precisely now. It was located near Rosalyn's waist. After about a minute, Rosalyn took a deep breath and bravely raised her head. "Jeff speaks very highly of you, and healers have professional ethics. I'm just a patient to you anyway. Please proceed with the treatment." Felix nodded.

Felix would not call himself a great person, but he was not evil either. Any other martial artist capable of the Dragons Destroyer technique would have simply killed Rosalyn for the Dragonspine without hesitation. That was if Rosalyn would not hand over the Dragonspine. But Felix could not do that. This girl bore him no ill will and had treated him with respect. Plus, she was Jeffrey's friend. How could he harm her? After much consideration, lying to her about it seemed to be the only way out. Once he had the Dragonspine, he could find ways to make it up to her later. The burning sensation he had mentioned was actually the Dragonspine's effect. Indeed, it would provide some minor benefits to her training. And it was hardly the deadly threat he had described. "But the technique was passed down by my grandfather. Everyone trains this way. Why would it go wrong?" Rosalyn asked.Felix had anticipated this question. "It's not the technique that's flawed. Something on your body is i
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 605
So, the Ruby family ranked first among the Eight Great Martial Families? Felix widened his eyes. He had a bad feeling about this. His power had skyrocketed lately, so he didn't feel too bothered about facing the Craydens or even that guy Aiden. But the Eight Families were different since they were full of martial arts masters. Besides, the Rubies were practically the best among them. He would have to be extremely careful not to leave any traces, or the consequences would be terrible. "Actually, they dropped to second place six months ago. But I said that because they could reclaim the top spot any time," Jeffrey explained."I see." Felix left without further questions after that.…While driving his Range Rover home, he stopped at a red light. That was when a BMW slowly pulled up beside him. Glancing over, he noticed a woman asleep against the window in the back seat. Though he could only see her side profile, he recognized that it was Nancy immediately. Her birthday party
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 606
Matty rubbed his hands together as he looked back at Nancy in the car with obvious lust. He said, "Don't worry, guys. I always share. You'll get your turn after I'm done."The designated driver chuckled quietly, clearly unsurprised. He had a feeling this would happen from the moment he spotted Nancy walking toward them outside the karaoke bar. She was breathtaking, and just the thought of indulging in her later made his body tremble with excitement.However, just as Matty opened the car door, a loud bang startled him. The door suddenly slammed shut with force."W-Who the hell are you?" he asked. The group froze, panic creeping across their faces. None of them had noticed when a young man appeared next to the back door of the car. "I'm the one who's going to end you," Felix stated coldly. He had been tailing them all along, hoping the car would head to Nancy's apartment or Shunnington University. Unfortunately, the detour confirmed his worst fears. If he had not followed, Nan

"Polaris!" Felix's voice carried a cold edge as he stared Matty down.Matty tried to look calm, but inside, he was panicking. He could not gauge Felix's abilities or whether he was afraid of guns, so he decided to bluff, hoping to buy time until Louis O'Neill arrived."You've got quite the nerve, name-dropping like that. You trash think you're amazing just because you're to an organization of that nonsense caliber?" Felix sneered.He knew these kinds of people—they loved to use big names to intimidate others. Felix had reservations about Polaris, but at least they operated with some semblance of ethics. The infamous Mourning Village incident proved as much.Despite their involvement, no innocent lives were lost. There was no way a group like that would stoop to trafficking children. "Don't believe me? Fine! If you're so confident, wait here. Once Mr. O'Neill gets here, you'll know whether I'm lying or not," Matty said, his tone gaining a hint of arrogance.Felix tilted his hea

"So, you're the one meddling in other people's business? I was expecting some kind of hotshot," a voice taunted as two figures walked into the courtyard—a young man and an older gentleman.Based on Matty's earlier mention, the younger man was undoubtedly Louis O'Neill.Louis glanced at the four writhing men on the ground. His expression tightened as he assessed their condition. Even a glance was enough to tell they had been subjected to extreme torture. Felix did not bother with greetings, shooting four silver needles into Matty and the others and causing them another wave of excruciating pain. Even Louis's lips twitched involuntarily as he watched. He dared not imagine how horrible the pain was."In every nation, anyone with even a shred of decency knows you never harm children!" Felix's voice was cold yet laced with fury. He continued, "There's a story from abroad about a fugitive in a high-speed car chase. Police were hot on his tail, but he slammed on the brakes when he came
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 609
At first, Felix genuinely believed Louis was the final player in this twisted game. However, as events unfolded, he quickly realized otherwise. Louis was too young, and the fact that a seasoned martial artist accompanied him suggested that there was someone higher pulling the strings. "I'll talk! I'll talk!" Louis screamed, his will utterly shattered by the relentless torture. At this point, his rank and martial prowess no longer mattered. No one could endure this kind of pain indefinitely."It was my uncle—Jonathan Larsen! He orchestrated everything. I swear it's the truth—just end it quickly!" Louis cried out, desperation dripping from every word. "Your uncle?" Felix muttered, his voice icy. "And where is he now?""He's at Polaris! My uncle is one of their elders," Louis replied, trembling.Felix froze for a moment, taken aback. So, Matty had not been bluffing after all—Polaris was genuinely involved. Felix had assumed Matty had thrown out the name of a major sect as a scare

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1561
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

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc
