The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1075
A day passed, and as Felix stepped out of the courtyard, he was immediately taken aback.The base of Trirock Mountain now had a sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even more late-stage Transcendent Realm experts had arrived."Nala, here are seven Ascension Pills. Keep them safe," he said.Nala accepted the box and, without hesitation, opened it in front of everyone. The seven pills inside gleamed in the light—genuine, without a doubt.For a moment, the gathered crowd was ablaze with excitement. This was unexpected—there should have only been six pills. This confirmed beyond a doubt that Felix's pill success rate was incredibly high.Dickson had already arranged everything with Laura, ensuring that the distribution process was orderly. There was no chance of chaos or disputes breaking out.Among the crowd, Barry was given a shove. "Go on, Barry! Just one Ascension Pill, and our Lufter family will rise again!"Barry's expression was dark with frustration. His fa

Having the highest fighting prowess would make a lady in the royal family an Empress and the man an Emperor. Neither of them was allowed to get married and have children. After all, their descendants would never have that kind of talent in cultivation anymore. Now, however, Cordelia had a child. "I've said what needs to be said. Farewell." Aiden turned around and was about to leave. The Emperor suddenly snarled icily, "Stand right there! Do you think I will let you live after you reveal such a secret?"To everyone's surprise, Aiden was unfazed. "Firstly, I wouldn't have shown up here if I didn't have the confidence to walk out of here safely. Secondly, I told you about the secret because I have bad blood with Felix. "Lastly, let's assume that I do spread this information out there. You have to ask yourself this—who would dare to listen to me, and who will actually believe me?"Can I leave now?"The Emperor waved with a cold expression. The three points Aiden raised were flaw

Celestial Hall? This was the first time Felix heard about it. "What's the deal with Celestial Hall? No one has talked about them at all," he said.A mix of emotions flashed in Cordelia's eyes. "Only the royals are privy to its existence. Moreover, only direct descendants of the royal bloodline know about it, such as the Emperor and Princes. The other royal members are oblivious to it."Cordelia chuckled bitterly. "You are my son, and I am the most powerful fighter alive. By all means, you would've been able to have your way in the world. However, Celestial Hall is the source of my bondage."The royals would have a descendant with the highest fighting prowess every few generations. The ladies would become Empresses, and the men would become Emperors. "Neither of them could stay after their descendant was born. They would be forced into retirement, and Celestial Hall would become their new home."What? Felix was absolutely dumbfounded. "Are you saying that Celestial Hall housed

With the Destiny Crystal in his hands, Felix should've been the fastest person to master Ethereal Constitution. However, not even he knew exactly how long it would take. Naturally, that meant he couldn't keep staying in Corpse Town. After all, Deborah was waiting for him out there. He couldn't just think of himself. After he paid with the pills he had just created, Felix intended to tell everyone about his plan. At the next moment, however, Cordelia suddenly appeared behind him. A loud thud could be heard. She actually reached out and struck someone in the palm. She had suddenly shown up to protect Felix."This is bad. This man exuded the aura of someone who had mastered Transcendent Realm, but he suddenly became as strong as I am for some reason."Felix turned around, and his expression immediately changed. "Grand Elder!"That was right. His assailant was the Grand Elder, who had gone off the radar for a long time. However, something troubled Felix. The Grand Elder might've
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1079
Four martial artists with mastery over Transcendent Realm rushed out of the crowd and charged right at Felix. At the same time, a voice boomed, and everyone heard what it said. "Felix tried and failed to kill a member of the royals. His Majesty has decreed that he is found guilty and sentenced him to death. Anyone who dares to help Felix will be held accountable for."One of the royals?At the next moment, Felix initiated Lone Paragon and stood before the four assailants. The others backed off hastily. They were afraid that they would become hapless victims of a battle of this scale. "Mr. Whitwell!" Deborah felt her heart clench up. She looked at Ezra anxiously, but he merely sighed and shook his head. "No one would dare to help Felix now, Madam Goddard."As expected, Andre and Shepherd remained where they stood. The other martial artists who mastered the Transcendent Realm and promised to protect Felix also didn't dare to move at all. "You've all let me down!" Deborah was e

"Gosh!"Everyone was absolutely shocked. They knew Felix was a great alchemist, but none of them took him for a fearsome martial artist. In less than a minute, he managed to heavily injure four assailants who mastered Transcendent Realms. Felix didn't dare to waste more time. He was about to leave Corpse Town, but a figure stood in his way. "It's a good thing I made it in time." The person's shoes faded away into ashes as he spoke. Then, he stood on the ground with his bare feet. "I decided to wear out one of my pseudo-magical artifacts to stop you, Felix. Looks like I made the right call. I almost let you slip through my fingers again." Felix frowned slightly and retorted coldly, "What makes you think you have what it takes to stop me, Aiden?"He hadn't expected to see Aiden right now. More shockingly, the latter exuded the overwhelming aura of someone who had mastered Transcendent Realm. How could that have been possible, though? Felix was able to make the breakthrough

Just as Aiden was about to be struck down by the Empress with a single punch, a voice suddenly boomed in everyone's ears."Enough!"Reluctantly, the Empress withdrew her hand and swiftly moved Felix ten yards away.The next moment, a burst of flames erupted from where she had just stood. It was so intense that it seemed to melt the very ground beneath it, a testament to the extreme heat.Had Cordelia continued her attack on Aiden, she too would have been injured, a risk not worth taking as the real battle was yet to come.Aiden, who had narrowly escaped death, was drenched in sweat. For the second time, after the close brush with death during the Dragonia Martial Arts Competition involving Felix, he felt death brush past him once again.As he regained his composure, three figures appeared before him. It was two men and a woman, all with gray hair yet standing tall and straight. Even their silhouettes exuded an overwhelming sense of grandeur."You've finally come," murmured Corde

Seeing Felix step forward on his own, a deep sense of pride swelled in Cordelia's heart as a mother."You forced me into this. I wanted to keep things peaceful, but you drove me to embrace the demon within."Felix's words made it clear. He was ready to use his dagger, Lumen. At death's door, why should he still care about the impact on his soul? That would be laughable."You little brat! How dare you pull a bluff before us?""You have no idea how vast the world is! So what if you embrace the demon within you? If power could be changed with mere words, wouldn't Martial City have fallen into chaos long ago?""If you can withstand three of my attacks, I'd already consider you quite capable."Aiden smirked. He knew it was over—his long-standing grudge against Felix would finally be settled.At the same time, the Grand Elder clenched his teeth, barely able to contain his anticipation. The moment Felix was slaughtered, he'd have his head severed and tossed into the capital just to let

Felix had no other choice. Whether he would succumb to darkness or not was a problem for later. Since his Ethereal Constitution was still incomplete, he could only unleash Lumen in an attempt to kill Kevin.His strength was beyond anything Felix had anticipated.Just when he thought it was about to be over, Kevin suddenly stood still. A crimson glow flickered around him, then condensed into a shield the size of a plate. It perfectly intercepted Lumen just inches from his forehead."What?" Felix was utterly shocked. This was the first time anyone had ever blocked Lumen. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a dream.Kevin sneered. "Aren't you the miracle doctor's mentee? Do you really think that once a martial artist reaches a certain level, they wouldn't have some understanding of the soul? If I wasn't fully prepared, do you think I would have revealed myself to kill you?"Kevin had a soul-defense weapon similar to the Infinite Shield. Felix found i

What Kevin said next left Felix utterly shocked."Forget Eloise. If the miracle doctor were to release the seals on all nine of your fellow apprentices, I wouldn't stand a chance against a single one of them."Seals on all nine of his fellow apprentices? What did that mean?No matter how much Felix tried to goad Kevin for more information, he wouldn't say another word. He had no choice but to dismiss it as nonsense.After another ten minutes, Kevin suddenly unleashed a devastating strike, which sent Felix flying backward. However, by doing so, Kevin left himself exposed. For the first time, Felix landed a clean hit on him."Felix, now you'll witness the moment I've been waiting for all these years. Without this full-power battle between us, I never would've reached this point!"With that, Kevin pulled out an object. As his upper garments shredded apart, he pressed it against his chest.Felix grew anxious as he had seen that object before. It was the same bone that had flown away

The moment a disheveled old man appeared, Felix knew that it was no coincidence. The old man had come looking for him on purpose. However, the real question was why he dared to do that."I believe this is our first meeting, right, Kevin?"Kevin grinned. "Yes."Felix rolled his neck. After all, he anticipated this fight a lot. During his fight against Cordelia, he felt the need to hold back. However, he didn't have to do that this time. After all, Kevin was one of the best fighters. There was no doubt about that."Did you come to avenge your mentee Aiden?" Felix asked.To his surprise, Kevin shook his head. "No. On the contrary, I should be thanking you for killing Aiden. I believe in fate, and I never try to manipulate it. "When the three Celestial Royals joined forces against you at the foot of Trirock Mountain, I was certain you would die. However, fate took a turn."Felix frowned, struggling to make sense of why he would want to thank him."So many things I thought were des

"What is this thing?" Westley asked."This thing created all the mist in Misty Ridge," Felix replied.He didn't bother explaining the origins of the Infinite Shield in detail. Instead, he simply raised his right hand and touched it.In an instant, the Infinite Shield transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared into his body.As he felt the shield merge with his soul, a lingering sense of unease crept over him as he recalled Ophelia's warning.When dealing with the Three Forbidden Lands, the order of entry was crucial. If done incorrectly, the consequences would be disastrous.He had entered Echo Cavern first by pure luck. Back then, he had been ambushed by Dean and the Grand Elder. Both of them had mastered Transcendent Realm. Hence, Felix hadn't had the luxury of choice. Just surviving had been enough for him.It was only thanks to Ophelia's guidance that he had avoided stepping into Misty Ridge back then. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened?Even though

Felix was stunned. What were the odds? He had just run into one of Nerissa's family members. On top of that, he was a highly respected elder. "Hello, sir."Since he wasn't officially engaged with Nerissa yet, Felix wasn't sure how to address him. Hence, he simply nodded at him in greeting and handed him a few pills hurriedly.Westley was dumbfounded as Felix offered both fasting pills and ones for recovery. As the fifth elder of the Xavier family who mastered Transcendent Realm, he was experienced enough to know that these pills weren't something just anyone could casually offer. "Thank you very much."Half an hour later, Westley had finished regulating his condition. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he could move freely again."What's your name, young man? I owe you a huge favor. Once we get out of here, I'll repay you."The sincere gleam of his eyes revealed that Westley was a man who never left a debt unpaid. It made sense. After all, how else could he have raised Neriss

"The reason that creature suddenly lashed out so violently was because of the formation covering Martial City," Xena explained. "Based on my observations, this formation prevents Malevolent Phantoms from entering. That old man only got in because someone deliberately used a token to bring him inside. Even though he made it through, the formation still affected him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed so openly like you described."Malevolent Phantoms were already difficult to deal with, and intelligent Malevolent Phantoms were even worse. But that raised a bigger question. How were they created?"Since you've already taken care of it, I can at least report that much," Xena continued. "Felix, I really hope you can finish your mission soon. The capital desperately needs the warriors of Martial City to step in."With that, the call ended. Felix hadn't gained much new information, so all he could do was continue following his plan.After arriving at Misty Ridge, Felix immediately sens

For martial artists who reached the Transcendent Realm, the first three years were crucial for growth. After that period, their strength would be practically set. Hence, that phase determined the gap between those at the same level.Cordelia, for example, had attained her current level of power three years after reaching the Transcendent Realm. Given how things are unfolding, Felix only needed six months after activating Lone Paragon to reach his current strength. It was highly likely that he could reach her level as well.However, before he could dwell on these thoughts, a phone call from Xena completely disrupted his focus.To be honest, Felix was caught off guard. This was a phone exclusively used in Martial City. If Xena hadn't saved her number on his phone before he entered Martial City and mentioned that she might contact him one day, he would have never believed it."You entered Martial City?" Felix asked, puzzled. Xena wasn't someone who could just waltz into Martial City f

"This guy's cultivation technique is just a little strange, nothing special," Laura said.After relaying Felix's telepathy message, she stepped back. Her words had the intended effect. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. If more of those kinds of monsters started appearing, who could possibly stand against them?Though the situation had finally settled down, Felix wasn't the least bit happy. While his own troubles had just ended, the ordeal was completely unexpected. Logically, he still believed in the Phaeron Codex. After all, he had been practicing it himself and understood its power. If what was written in it was true, then there was no way for any of the wraiths to leave Corpse Town. So how did that old man get out?He decided not to dwell on it for now, as he had his own path to walk first.A few days later, in Imperial City, the Emperor and his sons sat in gloomy silence, staring at the three Celestial Royals standing at the forefront."You all saw what happened at the foot

"Make way!""Mr. Zeller is here!""Yeah, step aside!"The open space where Felix had previously confronted the three Celestial Royals remained empty. However, panic filled the air. Two bodies lay motionless on the ground. Although there were no visible wounds, the bodies were utterly still."Mom! What happened?"Cordelia pointed toward the only man still standing in the middle of the clearing. His lower body had been blasted apart. However, fresh flesh was already regenerating at an eerily incredible speed. At this rate, he'd be fully healed in less than five seconds."We're not sure. He suddenly attacked the two people lying on the ground. No one saw exactly how it happened, and then it turned into this mess."From what Cordelia explained, the man had erupted in violence without warning. The relatives of the deceased had immediately retaliated, unleashing a furious assault. They managed to destroy most of his body. However, he wouldn't die. His flesh kept regrowing, which was a
