Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Kabanata 1391 - Kabanata 1400

Felix found it hard to breathe. It was not from shock but because the air had been completely sucked out of this place. The peak Grandmaster Realm masters who had looked down on him earlier were now all sliced into pieces, scattered everywhere. Even the middle-aged man who had fled first ended up the same way a few hundred yards away.Only Ashton remained on the ground, coughing up blood nonstop. Over a thousand sword marks covered his body. If it was not for the blood seeping through, they wouldn't even be visible through his clothes. These weren't just ordinary people or average martial artists, but five incredibly powerful peak Grandmaster Realm masters. Yet Dahlia had defeated them all with a single move. It was absolutely terrifying.As the air rushed back in, Dahlia spoke, "I kept him alive. You probably have questions for him." Felix smiled bitterly, finally understanding the gap between himself and Dahlia. He could only imagine how much stronger Eleanor had to be. "Tha

Pulling open the car door, Felix regained his composure. He remembered all of Donna's assurances, and he trusted that they weren't empty promises. After all, their work partnership had gotten pretty tight lately—she wouldn't play such life-threatening jokes. "Do you need something?" Just as he thought, Specter stood there without moving. He spoke with resignation, "I've put in all this effort and planned everything down to the last detail. Yet, I couldn't even scratch you. I'm honestly shocked."Felix pursed his lips. "You haven't seen anything yet." With a growing smile, Specter replied, "You've won! I'll back off from Hollow Soul. I can't face it alone anyway, and those losers I recruited were useless against you. I'm out of options." Felix felt a wave of relief wash over him as he nodded. He'd finally dealt with a major threat. Zara would be safe with Gerald, but Felix worried that he couldn't handle Specter. If his attacks continued, someone he cared about might get hurt o

The twin sisters exchanged confused glances at Kenneth's words. One of them said, "Nobody's there. You really love making jokes, don't you?" Kenneth's worried expression quickly relaxed into a grin. "I might be old, but am I not allowed to still mess with the young ones once in a while?" They kept waiting, and about ten minutes later, Ashton showed up. He was actually Felix in disguise. Felix asked, "Is everyone here already?" Since Ashton was one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians and they all knew his identity, Felix made sure to act the part. "Yes, Mr. Willis. Just call me Kenneth. These two are the Tiller twins, Leah and Jean." Both women gave slight bows, their eyes full of curiosity. They were standing before one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians, after all. "Let's get moving, then." As they turned to leave, they all suddenly looked toward the same spot. From the bushes, a woman in her 20s stumbled out, limping while carrying a hiking backpack. She was obvi

Felix and the others found themselves in a straight corridor with stone walls on both sides and total darkness. With their power, they could see in the dark as clearly as in daylight, so they did not have to bring any flashlights. Felix kept his pace moderate. It was so that everyone could keep up and partly because he still wasn't sure how deadly the tomb's traps might be. "Mr. Willis, turn right after five steps. Trust me on this. The corridor's filled with Quadrant Mist that messes with your vision and senses." The stone wall was clearly visible five steps ahead. But after hearing Kenneth's advice, Felix turned and walked straight toward it. When his body touched the wall, he passed right through it like it wasn't even there.A strange whooshing sound cut through the air. Felix's hand shot up, catching an arrow that had flown at him from nowhere. "This arrow would kill anyone below Transcendent Realm!" His assessment was dead-on, judging by the arrow's power and speed. The

In that brief glance, the door slammed shut with a resounding bang. It left Leah and Jean standing there, stunned. Despite the urgency of the moment, they could have easily made it through before the door closed with their abilities. Yet, Kenneth had stopped them from going inside. "Mr. Zandro, why did you stop us?" Kenneth's eyes showed a hint of resignation. "I never expected to encounter the Stellar Hexagram! Remember when you asked why there were seven doors?" The sisters nodded simultaneously. Kenneth sighed. "The extra door is for sacrifice! Very few people can solve the Stellar Hexagram, and I'm one of them. "But whoever solves it must first open the sacrificial door and send someone through. Otherwise, the puzzle remains unsolvable." After a brief silence, Leah said, "But Mr. Zandro, we needed Mr. Willis' strength. Are you sure we should just abandon him?" Jean added, "Exactly. And with his power, what if he goes berserk and starts destroying everything? The whole
