"Let's go," Xena said.After getting off the plane, Felix got into a car with Xena behind the wheel. She was driving herself, with no one else accompanying them."In the backpack, you'll find everything you need for Martial City. I'll explain each item as you take them out," she said.Felix grabbed the backpack from the back seat and opened it, finding only a few items inside.Xena explained, "This phone only works in Martial City. Due to the barriers, it can't connect to satellites, but it works perfectly within the city. It's unregistered too, so you don't need to worry about being tracked."The device was more of a chunky block than a modern phone. It had an archaic feel and a tiny screen that did not support video calls or other advanced features."What's this card?" Felix asked as he pulled out another item—a card that looked like an emerald-green bank card. The only difference was that it appeared to be made of emerald, with elegant swirls of pale green throughout."That's

"Wait over there. They won't dare touch you," Felix told Xena while maintaining a calm expression as he faced the six Council Elders.In the past, he might have been less confident against these formidable opponents. Each of them was strong enough to challenge those above their level, which was precisely why they had earned their positions as Council Elders.Having dealt with Gage before, Felix knew his cunning and temperament were terrifying. All that made him an exceptionally dangerous adversary."Felix, are you sure about this?" Xena asked worriedly, wondering how the Elders' Council dared to act so boldly and who this Grand Elder was that could hold off the Protector."Just go," Felix replied, his tone firm.Gage took a step forward, his expression cold. "I know you're keeping your cool because you have the Lone Paragon on your side, but relying on something like that won't change your fate." Felix smirked. "Skip the speech. You chose this location because you plan to hide i

"Felix, don't worry! You're on an official mission to Martial City. That scoundrel is an unexpected problem, but I'll ensure your safety," the Protector reassured Felix as he handed Felix two tokens.The Protector explained, "The red token is essential for entering and leaving Martial City. Without it, no one can safely pass through the barriers. Each token only works once before turning to dust, so guard it carefully. They're extremely rare and valuable, even within Martial City." Felix nodded in understanding as he accepted the tokens, but his attention was drawn to the yellow one. It was round and slightly mysterious."The yellow token wasn't something I originally planned to give you," the Protector continued. "It's not ideal for your growth, but given what just happened, I want to ensure your safety above all else.""If that old man from the Elders' Council comes after you again, don't hesitate to crush this token. Someone will come to your aid immediately."Felix was unsure

Even if the old man did not ask for Felix's help, he would definitely lend a helping hand. After all, Felix was never the type to just stand by and watch, whether it was his nature or what Gerald had taught him. Since he encountered the situation, there was no way he could ignore it. Besides, it was clear the old man was having a heart attack, and the little bottle he clutched likely contained some kind of fast-acting medication. Felix quickly ran over, opened the bottle, and handed it to the old man, who immediately took three pills. In less than a minute, the man looked as if nothing had happened."Thank you so much," he said.Felix smiled and replied, "No need to thank me. It's just the right thing to do."As Felix turned to leave, the old man grabbed his arm urgently. "You're really a good person. Doing something so kind without even leaving your name? But I can't just let you go without repaying your kindness—wait a moment." With that, he pulled out his phone and made a q

According to Billy, one's energy signature would essentially be an extension of their soul's frequency. While he could mask it temporarily, it would only last for about a year—making it permanent was simply impossible."Felix, come with me. I'll make sure to repay you properly. Trust me. I have the means, so don't turn me down," the old man insisted.Feigning hesitation, Felix eventually agreed and got into the Audi A4. As the car moved, the two of them chatted casually, though Felix remained cautious."Where are we headed, sir?" Felix asked when the car began to slow down. He noticed, with some surprise, that they were entering a massive cave."This is my summer retreat. It's normal to be curious if it's your first time seeing it," the old man replied with a smile.Felix simply nodded and said, "Oh."The car came to a stop inside, and Felix followed the old man out. To his surprise, a group of more than a dozen people was waiting there. At the center, an elderly woman sat in a c

For Felix, someone at the Pulse Realm level was as insignificant as a bug—he could crush them effortlessly. However, since he had just arrived in Martial City and knew very little about the place, acting rashly could lead to unpredictable consequences. If someone stronger lurked in the shadows, failing so soon after arriving would be a disaster. Felix glanced at the corpse of the old woman and quickly came up with a plan.Within a minute, a group of dozens rushed into the cave, their faces shifting to surprise at the sight of so many bodies and all the blood. One of them muttered, "They're all dead?" Leading the group was a young woman who appeared to be in her 20s. She had striking features and a graceful demeanor. She wore a white dress, and her sharp, intelligent eyes scanned the scene."Miss, what's going on here?" one of the subordinates asked cautiously.The woman frowned and examined the area before noticing Felix huddling in a corner. He was crouched with his hands over

Felix did not dare to sprint recklessly, knowing that if he caught the attention of a true powerhouse, things could spiral out of control. In Martial City, he had to tread carefully. Xena had warned him that while killing was forbidden within city limits, anything outside was fair game, and no one would care."The spiritual energy here is so dense—it's worth the trip," Felix muttered, marveling at the environment.Back in the capital, his current level left him with no clear path forward unless he obtained a Dragonspine, which was nearly impossible. Absorbing spiritual energy there was futile due to its scarcity—it would take years to make any progress.Although Gerald's medical book mentioned pills as a way to advance, the higher the grade, the rarer the ingredients. For instance, after the martial arts competition, Felix contacted Yasmin to refine a pill, but three key ingredients no longer existed. Despite years of searching, even Qualls Pharmaceutical had not found a trace o

Even Laura, who was gravely injured, was stunned. She could not believe what she was hearing—a so-called "ordinary person" was actually bold enough to talk to a martial artist so audaciously. In Martial City, such arrogance could only cause him his death.What baffled her more was that Felix seemed completely unfazed, despite the earlier attack creating a massive crater over 30 feet wide. If even she found it terrifying, Bobby's expression at the moment was beyond strange.Bobby sneered. "You must really have no idea how big the world is. You're the first ordinary person to speak to me this way. Don't worry. I won't let you die too quickly. First, I'll crush every bone in your body, then I'll take your head and use it as a soccer ball. How does that sound?"Felix shook his head and sighed. "Not very appealing, honestly."With a casual gesture, he raised his right hand and pointed a single finger. Bobby froze mid-smirk, his expression locked in place as a bloody hole appeared in t

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
