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

No one would have imagined that children were being sent every month into this forest, with the entrance hidden within a small cave.When Felix arrived, he stepped inside, finding scattered animal bones exactly as Louis had described. The cave was not very deep. After walking about 30 feet, he reached a dead end—a solid stone wall.A regular person stumbling into this cave would have turned back by now. However, Felix's sharp eyes caught a small, shadowy corner above him where a concealed camera was quietly pointed in his direction.Perhaps it was his own abandonment as a child, but Felix had always despised traffickers with a burning hatred. Letting something like this slide was never an option. Clenching his fist, he punched the stone wall with immense force, shattering it instantly. Beyond the debris was something unexpected—an elevator. Felix stepped inside, pressing down lightly with his foot. The immense pressure triggered the elevator, sending it plummeting downward at b

After seeing the grim look in Felix's eyes when he heard Xena's name, Aimee broke down and sobbed."I don't know why! Xena just told me to come here!" she cried, but Felix slapped her across the face before she could finish."Trying to use Xena as a scapegoat? Ask yourself—does she seem like that kind of person? Your acting is so pathetic it's laughable," Felix mocked.Aimee clutched her stinging cheek, momentarily stunned, forgetting about the lethal aura radiating from him. She screamed in a mix of anger and disbelief, "How dare you hit me, Felix! Who do you think you are?" It was obvious now that Aimee was not just a bystander but involved in this horror. Felix ignored her. Instead, he turned his attention back to the man, subjecting him to excruciating torture.Aimee, at first furious, quickly lost her composure as she watched. The longer it went on, the more terror-stricken she became until she collapsed onto the floor, trembling. She dreaded the thought of Felix using the s

When Felix emerged from the lab, the entire place was engulfed in flames. Not a single child had survived—not even the one who had been bleeding horribly. Despite his efforts, he could not save any of them.The horrors he had witnessed pushed Felix past his breaking point. In his mind, the entire Polaris leadership had to be complicit in this horror. These people did not deserve to live—every extra day they drew breath was an insult to the children who had suffered and died. Even in the storm of his emotions, Felix stayed focused. He pulled out his phone and called Seven. He said, "Seven, I need intel on every single Polaris higher-ups. And inform Averill."Polaris was not just any organization. Ranked as the fifth most powerful sect in Dragonia, its influence and strength were undeniable, and its remote desert location made it even more impenetrable. Unlike other sects nestled in serene mountains far from civilization, Polaris thrived in the harsh wilderness. According to the se

The commanding voice caught Yates off guard. A middle-aged man sitting among the group shot to his feet, his face drenched in sweat. He said, "Mr. Jordan, I'll go check it out!"This man was Jonathan. With such esteemed guests present, an outburst like this was unacceptable. No one could bear the consequences if Yates, the Supreme Elder, lost his temper."Go ahead," Yates replied, his smile returning. "It's just a minor issue. Don't let it ruin the mood."The guests, all seasoned figures in the martial world, remained unfazed. Every organization had its troubles, after all. The intruder's grudge was with Jonathan specifically, and given this was Polaris' headquarters, the issue would surely be handled swiftly.Yates turned to Uzziah, steering the conversation back on track. "I heard the leadership of the Eight Great Martial Families has shifted. The Rubies have been knocked down from the top spot?"Uzziah nodded. "Yes, a significant change. Those young ones always report back to

Within minutes, the deputy sect leader burst into the hall, his face a mix of panic and fury. "This is madness!" Yates shot as he slammed his palm on the table, rising to his feet in a thunderous rage. He had assumed this was just some reckless troublemaker causing a scene, but to hear that even the sect leader could not handle the situation? That was an insult he could not bear."Stay seated, gentlemen. I'll handle this personally," Yates growled, disappearing in a flash before anyone could respond.Uzziah rose from his seat, glancing at the others. "Let's go take a look. I can tell you're all as curious as I am." Titus and Thaddeus did not hesitate, quickly following behind. There was no way they would miss seeing who dared to provoke Polaris to the point where even Yates had to step in.…When Yates arrived at the training ground outside, his expression instantly darkened. The sect leader, deputy leader, and a group of elders were all sprawled across the ground, barely cli

The Oceanus Realm was a level of power far beyond the Aetherial Realm, achieved only when one could form an energy vortex within their core. The advancement in strength that came with reaching this realm was beyond description. Now fully comprehending Felix's power, Yates felt a wave of complex emotions. In his entire life, he had never witnessed someone as young as Felix reach the Oceanus Realm. Despite being considered a genius in his prime, Yates had spent his entire life stuck in this realm, unable to advance further. The others who had emerged earlier—Titus, Thaddeus, and Uzziah—all wore expressions of amazement."Who is this young man, and who trained him? He's so young, yet he's reached the Oceanus Realm!" Titus felt a mix of emotions, realizing his own training paled in comparison. Uzziah nodded in agreement. "They say each generation surpasses the last. I always thought Mason from the Jacobs family would lead this generation, but perhaps I've been too narro

"More than 200 lives! And they were children! When you sleep at night, do their restless souls never come to haunt you?" Felix's voice boomed, each word sharp as a blade.Yates staggered back several steps, his face pale as a sheet. His gaze swept across the fallen sect members, none of whom dared meet his eyes. Only the sect leader, overwhelmed with guilt, broke into sobs as he choked out an explanation. "W-We did it to save the sect! Ten years ago, something crippled all of Polaris' businesses. We barely had enough money to keep the sect running for six months. "Without resorting to desperate measures, Polaris would have crumbled. We had no other choice!" Yates closed his eyes tightly as tears streaked down his face, his heart breaking at the revelation. For years, he had focused solely on his martial pursuits, oblivious to the horrors hidden beneath the surface.Titus, Uzziah, and Thaddeus were equally stunned. None of them could have imagined that a prestigious sect like Po

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

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
