The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 962
Patting Natalie on the head, Bern looked thoroughly pleased. "You're as considerate as always," he said.Just three hours later, as the grandfather and granddaughter duo were engrossed in conversation, the door suddenly opened.Bern's expression shifted instantly. He quickly sent a mental message to Natalie, saying, "Pay attention and act accordingly. Coming out this quickly clearly means she has failed. You know how temperamental Deborah can be. Whatever you do, don't say anything wrong."At that moment, even Bern, who always maintained an air of deference around others, looked visibly nervous. Despite his usual confidence, he had absolutely no composure when dealing with Deborah.However, they soon saw that Deborah wasn't alone. She had brought along a young man.Meanwhile, their unexpected appearance caused Deborah to frown slightly. "You may leave," she said to Felix.Felix immediately complied, "Yes, Madam Goddard."Their mentor-apprentice relationship was still being kept
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 963
While Natalie furrowed her brows in thought, Felix's heart sank. The surname "Earnhart" was far too distinctive for him not to make a connection. Moreover, if Atlas was pestering Natalie, it meant they were likely of similar age. Felix had every reason to suspect it was the same guy who had come looking for him in the capital last time."Never mind. That guy is relentless—it's impossible to avoid him anyway," Natalie said firmly.The messenger nodded and vanished. Natalie turned back to Felix, only to be startled by the look on his face.Felix was openly staring at her with a roguish gleam in his eyes, the kind of gaze that made her feel as though she weren't wearing any clothes."Are you deliberately getting close to me, miss? Do you have a little crush on me?" he asked.For a moment, Natalie felt dazed. It was as if she were suddenly speaking to a completely different person."You've got it all wrong," she replied. "I was just asking a casual question."However, Felix's ga

The next day, Deborah entered the private chamber where Felix was staying."Atlas has left," she said.Felix was taken aback. "So quickly?"In the end, he couldn't avoid explaining why he'd holed up in the chamber. It felt wrong to keep hiding it when things had reached this point."It wasn't supposed to happen this fast," Deborah said. "But that old fox, Bern, pulled a move that forced Atlas to leave."She sat down, her eyes filled with a gentle fondness. "Don't you think it's time you told me the real reason you're avoiding Atlas?"Felix had prepared his answer long ago. "To be honest, Madam Goddard, I'm originally from the capital. My mentor noticed my talent for alchemy and sent me here to Martial City to further my skills."Deborah chuckled knowingly. "You sly one! Did you think I couldn't figure that out? It's better to tell the truth. Only then can we truly be mentor and apprentice."Her words didn't surprise Felix. After all, Deborah was a seasoned figure in Martial Cit

Felix would never forget the scene he had watched in the video before. Cordelia, unwilling but resigned, had left him to protect him. Later, he learned some details from Nala, which led to this question.No matter what happened, he still wanted to know more."Why would you ask that?" Deborah shot back.Looking at the intriguing smile on Deborah's face, Felix felt a bit nervous. This new mentor of his was no ordinary person. She was really good at noticing things."Since coming to Martial City, all the powerful people I've encountered have been women, so I started wondering if it's true that women here are more talented?"Deborah laughed at his comment. "Well, you're not entirely wrong. Let me answer your question directly. The most powerful woman in Martial City is known as the Empress. She is the strongest member of the royal family, and you could say she is the most powerful person known in Martial City."Could the Empress be Cordelia?"Thank you, Madam Goddard."Indeed, Mart

Jared gritted his teeth. Even with Deborah there, he couldn't accept what happened. However, he didn't dare to provoke Felix again. He wasn't brave enough to."Hahaha! Just because I'm unable to doesn't mean no one else can't," Jared muttered. His eyes followed Natalie's retreating figure as she left Tranquil Clinic. He slowly picked up his phone. "Mr. Windson, are you planning to use Natalie and her suitors in North City to deal with Felix? But based on what we know, they don't seem to have anything together," the middle-aged man in the front seat said.Glowering at him, Jared sneered. "You know jack shit! Let's not talk about them, but Atlas will definitely come. That man truly inherited the arrogance of the Maximus family. It won't allow him to tolerate any obstacle in his way!" With that, Jared dialed a number—fury in his eyes. It was as though he could already see Felix's terrible end.…Just as the sun was about to set, Felix had finished treating six patients. The cit
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 967
Although Nala had advised him not to wear the Shadow Mask in Martial City, Felix couldn't care less at this critical moment. He wasn't impulsive, acting cautiously. He knew that Martial City was full of powerful people. Who knew whether the guy with the Dragonspine was strong or weak? That was why Felix decided to follow the man—to at least have an idea of who he was. With that, Felix quickly headed out. He moved rather quickly, reaching his top speed, which was barely faster than that of the other man.He could tell that the man was definitely not weak. As they arrived at an alley, Felix stopped. On the other hand, the man didn't move either. However, they both stood where they stopped."You've been chasing me for so long, yet you don't dare to come over?" The voice coming from the alley was sinister. It was a voice that would send chills down anyone's back. Felix remained calm and composed—continuing to hide in the shadows."Hmph! You're hiding in the shadows? Let's see wh

"Lone Paragon!" Although Felix could clearly see that the old man was injured, he activated this technique immediately. This was a battle between life and death!His opponent was strong, so Felix couldn't afford to have a slip-up. The two of them fought, trading blow after blow. The battle was so intense that there was nothing left intact. A few minutes later, the old man felt terrified. Could this young man have a secret technique to increase combat power? He was much stronger than before—could he actually defeat the old man? The old man panicked a little, but he wasn't afraid of losing to Felix. However, because of such a big commotion, although they were far from North City, it would inevitably attract other martial arts masters!"Boy! You've earned my respect! As you've asked before, we should go our separate ways now. How about that?"Felix was annoyed—the old man was injured, and Felix was sure he could wear the old man down quickly. "When did I say that? Old man, you st
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 969
After some thought, Felix finally let up the thought. It was best for him to be cautious when it came to the true Dragonspine. In fact, it was because he was no match for Dickson, and he wouldn't be able to take control of the situation.Despite working at Harmony Clinic together, it meant nothing. Even biological brothers would turn against each other in the face of interests—let alone relationships. Even if Felix mentioned Deborah, he couldn't entirely rely on that fact. As he pondered the thought, the energy of the true Dragonspine soon faded away and he couldn't feel it anymore. All his thoughts were completely dispelled."Don't worry, I won't question you. Go back to the clinic. Even though you're in the Physical Refinement Realm, it's best not to leave the city unless absolutely necessary. "It is even dangerous for me, do you understand?"No questions? Felix felt relieved. Dickson really didn't seem that bad. "Thank you, Mr. Marlow. I'll head back to the clinic first."

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
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
