The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 11
Just then, Felix's phone rang. When Sasha and the others saw the caller ID, their fury was immediately extinguished.A phone call from Wendy Kinsley?Everyone knew of Wendy. She was the daughter of the richest man here, the drop-dead gorgeous CEO of Avesburgh, and the dream woman of countless men.Just this guy? Did he really have access to Wendy's mobile? That was beyond belief.At this point, Felix had already stepped aside to answer the call."Are you here?""In a few minutes, F-Felix. Since you're there, I've made a reservation at Zenith Pavilion. We can talk there. It's quite quiet. There's no need to change locations."Although she had Felix's permission to address him by his given name, Wendy still felt distinctly uncomfortable."Okay. I'll head over now."When he hung up, Sasha was about to burst into flames."Felix Zeller! Are you not done yet? First, you show off with an edited image. Then, you hire someone to pretend to be the richest man's daughter and call you at such a cr

Hugo's brows knitted together as his deep gaze landed on Ruth."Are you saying Felix—the guy freeloading at Sasha's—has Wendy's phone number?"Ruth shrank back in fear, while Sasha stepped in to smooth things over."Hugo, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. That guy just loves to show off. If you let me explain, I'm sure we can clear things up for you."After learning about Felix's actions at Concord Bank and his presence here, Hugo let out a disdainful sneer."That's more like it. If someone like that had access to Wendy's contact, even pigs could fly!"Ivan quickly chimed in, "You're right. It was just too much of a coincidence! We almost let that bastard fool us again."Hugo patted him on the shoulder. "How dare that piece of garbage that even Sasha despises pretend to have Wendy's number? Don't you guys agree that he needs a lesson?"Ivan caught his message without fail. He had long been thinking about teaching Felix a lesson for harboring thoughts about his woman. Now that he

The Miracle Card worked in a rather straightforward way. On its flip side were multiple layers of a special coating. Each time it was retrieved, a layer would be peeled off to reveal a new phone number. This would be Gerald's latest contact information.This system seemed to have no safeguards, yet it topped any high-tech security system. Only two people in the world could process the card for its next use—Felix and Gerald. They practiced the same unique technique, which was the only method to remove the coating.By now, the little boy had arrived at the entrance of Luxe Dining. He held the Miracle Card in his hands. The previous coating had already been peeled off by Felix, thus making it ready for use.The boy hastily stopped a heavily bejeweled woman and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am. Would you like to buy this?"Disgust instantly clouded her face."Go away! Where on earth did this little beggar come from? How useless can the security be at Luxe Dining? How could they let him linger

The Phoenix Legion was a formidable force led by Xena. Apart from the highest authorities in Dragonia, the army only answered to Xena.The legion was stationed on the outskirts of Avesburgh. They occupied a vast area and were equipped with all sorts of advanced weaponry. Whenever they were deployed, victory was guaranteed.Because her unit was based here by national orders, Xena also had to reside in Avesburgh. At this moment, Xena was in her office at the headquarters of the Phoenix Legion, reviewing some documents."There's a possibility that the S-ranked fugitive group—the Menacing Four—could make an appearance in Avesburgh in the coming days? Ha! Where did these thugs get the balls to come and make a mess in my territory?"Just then, her office door swung open, and in walked her subordinate, Belle Frost. She was drop-dead gorgeous, a stunning beauty who had been under Xena for a few years now."Milady, there's news about the miracle doctor."Xena leaped to her feet. She had

At sunset, Felix stood near a café in Avesburgh. He waited by the roadside for someone to pick him up.He was in quite a good mood now. He was clad in white from head to toe, including a pair of snow-white shoes."The old man definitely did this on purpose," he muttered.This attire was Gerald's requirement, as a distinctive mark for recognition. He strongly suspected it to be a prank Gerald was pulling on him, but he ultimately had no choice in the matter.Since the Miracle Card was still in Avesburgh, it had to be the one he handed to the little boy. Its reputation and immeasurable value had to have made it an easy sell. It didn't take long at all for it to change hands.As he pondered this, a Mercedes S500 pulled up to him. The driver's door swung open, and Ivan stepped out of the car.He scanned his surroundings and reluctantly locked eyes with Felix."Felix Zeller! What are you doing here!"As per Winston's instructions, Ivan was here to pick up someone dressed entirely in

Xena couldn't believe her eyes. Ivan had gone out to welcome the miracle doctor, and there was no way the Cameron family would get something so important wrong. Didn't this mean that Felix was the miracle doctor?How could that be? Felix was so young, and the legends about the miracle doctor had already been around for decades. The timeline didn't match up.Winston was similarly confused. Who the hell was this guy that Ivan had brought in? Based on his looks alone, he couldn't be the miracle doctor.Felix didn't expect to see Xena around. He frowned when he saw her. "Why are there outsiders around?"Ivan didn't dare say anything—he knew he was bound to upset someone, no matter what he said. More importantly, he couldn't afford to offend any of the people present.Having outsiders around after summoning the miracle doctor with the Miracle Card was against the rules. Xander had been present at the Kinsley residence, but that was fine because he was also a healer."An outsider?" Xen

Before this, Winston would've demanded Felix return the Miracle Card to him so he could show it to Xena. Now, however, things were different. Felix had yet to start treating Cheryl, but he'd already diagnosed what'd happened.Even if Ivan didn't understand what Felix meant, Winston did. He knew that the Cameron family did indeed have a hidden foe who was a martial arts master. A few years ago, they'd received threats from this person, but Winston hadn't expected Cheryl to be the one to suffer from it.Naturally, he believed Felix was the real deal. He said hesitantly, "Mr. Zeller, what do you…""Tell her that I've already taken back the Miracle Card and left. Or if you feel like you've been put in a tough spot, you can just ignore her," Felix said. After that, he pulled out two silver needles. This time, the acupuncture was only a helpful tool. What would really do the work here was his skills.As he started treating Cheryl, the butler stood by, feeling like he was between a rock
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 18
Xena relaxed in that instant. She'd thought Felix was secretly some powerful medical practitioner—if that were the case, she wouldn't have known how to feel about the situation. Now, the secret was out.She herself was a martial arts master, so she understood what Winston meant. "So, that's what it's like. You guys have taken the wrong path over the years, so it's no wonder your wife hasn't gotten better. Indeed, that's not something a doctor can cure. Only martial artists can do it."Winston went along with her and said, "Yes, exactly. I didn't expect Mr. Zeller to be a martial arts master at such a young age."Her gaze turned disdainful. "A master?"How could ordinary people understand the world of martial arts? Perhaps Felix had actually reached the level of a martial artist, but how powerful could he be? In her eyes, he'd only gone from being a small-town doctor to a martial artist who wasn't half bad. It didn't make him that much worthier."Where's the Miracle Card?" she as

"Hmm. Not bad," Francis sneered, lifting his hands again. His face suddenly began to tear apart. In the blink of an eye, another face emerged, twisting grotesquely as it rapidly expanded and launched itself toward Felix.Felix didn't flinch. With the added power of the Phaeron Projection, he finally unleashed his ultimate move."Six Word Mantra—Astral Bloom!"The grotesque face instantly shattered, obliterated into pieces, and redirected toward Francis.A flicker of seriousness passed through Francis's eyes. He clearly recognized how powerful that move was.After all, this technique from the Phaeron Codex was unleashed under the full amplification of Lone Paragon. Its power was nothing to scoff at.When the smoke cleared, Francis's figure looked noticeably dimmer."This isn't over, kid!"Francis retreated, and Felix didn't chase him. He had already thrown out every card he had. Who knew what else that old monster was hiding? It was better to leave it at that.At the very lea

Malachar was dead.Felix's eyelids twitched slightly. Although he and Specter had previously clashed in a fierce and breathtaking battle, there had ultimately been no clear outcome.However, he'd done it on his own this time—he had truly taken down an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. While he didn't think this guy was as strong as Specter, he was still undoubtedly S-tier.After spending a full day and night healing over 20 people and their souls, Felix met up with Donna at the hotel."Next one," he said.Donna let out a wry smile. Even she felt a trace of fear now toward Felix."We're still tracking it down. We should be able to find it soon."Felix closed his eyes. "Let me know when you've found it."…Just like that, a month passed, and Felix had eliminated three Malevolent Phanttal. The terrifying power of the Phaeron Codex and the soul-refining feedback from the Mystical Explosive Orb elevated his soul cultivation once again. He reached the Quantacore Realm, and his overall st

After hanging up, Donna stared off into the distance. She murmured, "Felix, just how far can you really go?"...Late at night, inside a luxury estate, Malachar lounged on a velvet couch in the living room, chain-smoking in silence. He could not shake the restlessness gnawing at him—something felt off, which was strange because he had never experienced anything like this before.Suddenly, Malachar frowned as a blinding silver light burst from his body, flinging away something that had just tried to strike him. He snapped, "Who's there?"He was stunned—someone actually had the guts to try and assassinate an S-tier Malevolent Phantom like him. However, there was no answer, only a terrifying wave of soul-based energy rushing in, instantly alerting him to the situation's severity.His body flared up again, even brighter than before, and he let out a furious roar. "I've got over 20 lives in my hands—if you keep attacking, they'll all die!"That threat seemed to work. Before the attac

Xena turned around, her eyes burning with rage as she glared at Specter. "I told you to stay hidden, didn't I? But no, you just had to be stubborn. Happy now?"She was on the verge of falling apart. From then on, she and Felix were done for good. As for headquarters, she would have no choice but to resign on her own. After all, if Felix reported her for colluding with a Malevolent Phantom, it would not just end with her quitting.Specter gave a bitter smile, unable to say anything. He would have never expected that Felix had grown this fast. The guy was already strong enough in the Ethercore Realm to go head-to-head with an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. If Specter had known that, he definitely would have stayed in hiding. Xena added, "You've got one month. Don't forget what you owe me."Specter nodded before finally speaking. "Don't worry. You saved my life—of course, I'll hold up my end. Just give me a month, and I'll vanish without a trace."Now that he had crossed Felix, pushing

Clearly, Specter sensed the brutal force behind this next attack—every single scale on his body shot up to shield him. Suddenly, a soul-crushing wave of power rippled outward. Though he managed to block the strike, his scales began to dissolve in massive clusters, proving just how devastating the blow had been.At almost the exact same moment, Lumen flanked around and pierced through Specter from behind.Even someone like Specter, an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, could not endure the pain that deep—it struck straight into his soul. Before he could recover, Lumen drove through him twice before his scales intercepted the strikes."Xena!" Specter roared again. His soul had already been damaged—there was no way he could take Felix head-on anymore. With injuries like this, he would need an excruciatingly long recovery. If something did not happen soon, he would actually die right here.Even now, Specter could not wrap his head around how Felix had grown so strong so fast. Killing one or

"Is that so? Funny—I didn't even realize it myself." Felix shot Specter a cold, mocking glare.Specter had humiliated him like this the last two times they had crossed paths, so now, it was time for payback—an eye for an eye.Specter was no longer the calm and collected figure he had been moments ago. As an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, he knew exactly what stepping into Ethercore Realm meant—it was the level where humans could finally go toe-to-toe with beings like him.Then again, it made no sense. It had only been a month since his last ambush on Felix—how could anyone grow this fast? This kind of leap was absurd, even with Donna's Mystical Explosive Orb providing feedback energy. If that Orb could boost someone to this extent, it would have been exposed to the world by now."Things are different now, Specter. Everything you created with your own hands back then—today, I'm returning it all."Suddenly, Specter laughed again. "Come on, Felix, you know how it goes. Sometimes, we hav
Chapter 1476
Felix's face was completely expressionless. "There's no point in saying all this now. What I want to know is—why are you here?"He did not even care about the reason behind the lie anymore. He was about to walk into a battlefield where life and death were up in the air—he had no time to deal with drama, but seeing Xena here was still a surprise.Xena took a deep breath and looked serious. "Can you let Specter go for now? I'm not defending a Malevolent Phantom—I just mean, maybe you could deal with the others first?"Felix frowned hard, and he stared at her like she had just grown a second head. "I can't believe those words actually came out of your mouth. You're the Phoenix Warlord, and you better give me a damn good reason for that."Xena felt her heart sink—there was no way she could tell him the real reason. "Please, Felix. Just let him go for now. I promise I'll explain everything later."At that point, Felix knew there was no way of getting answers from her, so he stepped for

Felix frowned. It had only been one night since he had asked Xena to look into Specter, so he honestly did not expect any results yet. However, Hector's words threw him off, making him feel uneasy.He asked, "Mr. Downy, are you saying you've already found a lead on Specter, but Xena didn't tell me?"Hector confirmed it without hesitation because Xena was nowhere near his level in terms of both trust and how long they had known each other. He explained, "That's right. I only found out because someone from Skynet happened to report it, and once I realized it was someone you were personally looking for, I told them to prioritize it. "Then, I found out Xena hadn't said a word to you—so yeah, I figured I'd step in. Whatever's going on between you two is your business, but I'll send you the address now."Hector even chuckled a little, clearly thinking Felix and Xena were just having a lover's spat. He had no clue how much that information shook Felix to the core.Meanwhile, Felix quest

Billy said enthusiastically, "You know what, Felix? Other than Mr. Hoffman, you're the only person I truly respect! Seriously, you've got a family, you've reached a level most people can only dream of, you're swimming in money, and yet you're still out there on the front lines. "And now you're about to risk your life again for everyone else. I heard from Mr. Hoffman about those Star Alliance tournaments. The death rates are so high it's basically insane, so you should know what I'm trying to say."Felix gave a bitter smile. "If everyone backs down, then what future is there? Back in the early days of Dragonia, before I was even born, our ancestors gave their blood and lives so we could live the way we do now."If it weren't for them paving the way, I wouldn't even have the chance to risk my life—hell, a single bomb could've dropped on me the moment I was born, and that would've been the end of it." Billy gave him a thumbs up and chuckled. "That's exactly why I admire you, man. Al
