All Chapters of The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Chapter 1421 - Chapter 1430

Xena kept her head down, and her voice was barely above a whisper. "I... I want to do another Spirit Binding with you."Felix heard her with full clarity as his cultivation made that effortless. Finally, he understood why she was acting so out of character.Just as Billy had said, ordinary people couldn't resist the allure of Spirit Binding. Even Xena had become addicted.For a woman to muster the courage to say something like this, it spoke volumes about how deeply it had affected her.He sighed."That time was a necessity—an emergency. We can't do it again. It's for your own good. The more you experience it, the harder it becomes to resist. Eventually, you'll lose all self-control, and then things will get even messier. You might even do something reckless," he explained.Xena finally looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears."Why are you doing this to me? Yes, the first time was out of necessity, but as a woman, I still agreed to it. Do you have any idea how much cour

Xena scoffed at his proposal. "How amusing that a Malevolent Phantom is offering to make a human stronger. Do I look like a child to you?"Just then, the chef himself entered the private dining room, carrying steaming plates of food. Once he left, Specter gestured to the food."Eat while it's hot. I have no interest in human food."Xena didn't even reach for her fork as she said, "I've lost my appetite. Am I free to go?"To her surprise, Specter simply waved a hand."You may leave whenever you like. I offered to strengthen you for two reasons. One, because you're a Soulhunter, and two—well, Felix, of course. As for why a Malevolent Phantom would help a human? Let's just say, no matter how strong you get, the final outcome won't change."My contact information is already in your bag. Call me when you've made up your mind."Xena left without another word. However, Specter seemed utterly confident, unfazed by her rejection. He picked up a strand of scalding noodles with his bare fi

At first glance, Rebirth Sect seemed harmless, especially when compared with Laurel Resort. No deaths were reported, and there was no forced confinement. They even allowed their members to leave on annual breaks, so their freedom was not exactly restricted. "Hey man, why the long face?"A voice snapped Felix out of his thoughts. A blonde man, barely out of his teens, plopped down beside him. A toothpick dangled from his lips like some wannabe tough guy."Nothing," Felix said, barely glancing at him. When he was about to leave, the man said, "Do you have an incurable disease, right? Don't give up yet. Miracles happen every day. If the Reaper hasn't come for you, that means you've still got a shot."Upon hearing that, Felix remained seated. "That's easy for you to say. You're healthy. It must be nice joking about it."Felix figured that the man was a preacher for Rebirth Sect. Xena had told him that they had identified all the preachers of the sect. However, they didn't take any

There was no other choice. Felix could only make his face flush a little red. He was supposed to be suffering from brain cancer, not a total lack of reaction. Given her stunning body and gorgeous face, it would be weirder if he didn't react at all when she was so up close and personal.Finally, Yanny stood up, repeatedly bowing as she apologized. However, she moved so slowly that the few undone buttons on her top gave him an even clearer view. It was so clear that he could see everything perfectly even though he was lying down."It's fine," Felix said.Yanny let out a relieved sigh, then she flashed him a sweet smile."You're Felix Zeller, right? That's a really nice name. The results will take a little longer, so don't stress too much, okay? No matter what, you'll be able to live normally."As she spoke, she suddenly lifted her shirt, pointing at her smooth, flat abdomen."I used to have cervical cancer, but now I'm completely cured. That's how amazing Rebirth Sect is! Look, not

"In this life, we have reached our limit. We must be reborn to the next. But this doesn't mean literal death. The burdens of your past mistakes will be carried by your previous life, just as the beauty you long for in your heart will one day take root and bloom," the overlord said.While listening to the overlord's words, Felix had to admit that his speech was incredibly persuasive. If recovering from cancer was also part of the experience, resisting brainwashing would be nearly impossible."Come on, Felix," Yanny urged. "Every new member gets a personal meeting with the overlord after the sermon."As the others left the hall, Yanny led Felix forward.With his palms pressed together and smiles in place, Felix played his role well. He added a touch of awkwardness, letting his eyes show a mixture of uncertainty and longing."Felix, welcome to Rebirth Sect."After supposedly summoning his courage, Felix asked, "When will my illness be cured, sir? The doctors told me I only have thre
