All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 991 - Chapter 1000

Dear God! Nerissa had reached Transcendent Realm, too? Felix realized he had been progressing rather slowly—even his fiancée had surpassed him now. Still, her talent was truly terrifying. Felix knew that Nala also possessed remarkable martial talent. But after the accident that scarred her face, her mental state became unstable. It became impossible for her to focus on practicing martial arts. As Felix lay in bed that night, something felt off. Barry had gone to the bathroom and was taking an unusually long time.Just as Felix was considering checking on him, Barry returned, appearing normal. However, he could not deceive Felix's keen perception. Felix immediately took out a pill and approached him. "Take this." Barry paused before accepting it. "Thanks." He had suffered significant internal injuries, so someone had clearly attacked him. "Felix, you're a good man. Really, thank you."Felix did not pry, and Barry did not give any information, either. The night passed peacefu

"Mr. Webb, please evaluate this," Ezra said.A middle-aged man stepped forward. As Harmony Clinic's chief steward, Wyatt Webb served as the head examiner for this Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. "Josie and Felix, you completed your pills at the same time. Now open your boxes so we can check your pill-forming rate."Josie opened her box, revealing six Phantom Mist Pills. The crowd gasped. Producing six pills on the first attempt just proved her terrifying talent."Josie Brennan, six pills." The Brennan brothers smiled. With such a pill-forming rate, the outcome seemed clear. Though Felix had caught them off guard by appearing at the same time as Josie, the final result had not changed, so it didn't matter.Ezra and Dickson exchanged pleased glances.Felix was quite surprised. He hadn't expected Josie's pill-forming rate to be so high. Clearly, talent had little to do with character.When he opened his box, another wave of gasps arose. Inside lay six pills, identical to Josi

Ezra then turned to Felix with a smile. "Felix, what would you like?" Felix had already decided, and his opinion was undeterred by this incident. "Solaris Root." Ezra gave him a thumbs-up. "Impressive! That's almost the hardest one to get my hands on." Solaris Root was incredibly precious and practically priceless. It was a key ingredient in creating Ascension Pills, which were essential for breaking through to the late stage of Transcendent Realm. That explained why it was so unobtainable.This confirmed Dickson's earlier point. With materials so hard to gather, few could craft it, and the pill-forming rate was terrifyingly low. Whenever a single Ascension Pill entered the market, it caused an absolute frenzy—people would usually compete fiercely for it.Meanwhile, the Brennan brothers were nervously making their way down the mountain, not daring to rush out."Johnny, will we really be okay?" Colin asked.Johnny's face darkened as he snapped, "At worst, we're guilty of faili

Westville? Felix thought about what Barry had mentioned. The Xavier family's Battle for the Bride was happening in a few days."Are you going to Westville for the Xavier family's tournament, Madam Goddard?"Deborah's expression turned strange. "So, you do have romantic interests! Here I thought your mind was filled with nothing but martial arts and alchemy. I didn't think you'd know about the tournament. You're not going to try your luck, are you?"Felix rubbed his head, slightly embarrassed. "Stop teasing me." Deborah laughed. "Janet Xavier isn't quite good enough for you, though her sister Nerissa is remarkable. Too bad she's already engaged, or I might have played the matchmaker." Taking advantage of the opening, Felix quickly asked, "Really? Do you think highly of Nerissa as well, Madam Goddard?"Deborah nodded. "Of course! That woman has strong principles and excellent character. Among the Top Ten Menaces, she's one of the few who meet my standards. Whoever that mysterious

An elderly man with flowing white hair rolled down the driver's window and looked at Felix. "Get in the car already, will you?"Felix replied respectfully, "One moment, Mr. Ghost." When he turned back around, the fat man had collapsed to the ground in fear. "Apologize to her!" Instantly, the man scrambled up and started kneeling before Laura, apologizing as if his life depended on it."If I ever catch you disrespecting Laura again, you know what'll happen," Felix warned. Laura's vision blurred with tears, feeling that warm sensation of being protected once again. Only after the Brabus SUV left did the fat man dare to stand, his legs still shaking. "Dear God, I just had a brush with death! Damn, I've only been away from North City for a few months!"Who the hell is that guy? How'd he get a ride in Mr. Ghost's car?" That vehicle was recognized throughout not just North City but all of Martial City as Shepherd Ghost's ride. He was an undisputed master of the Transcendent Re
