The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 124
"I'll send you the relevant information right now." Joshua hung up the phone before stretching lazily."Handling one measly martial artist is too easy."Joshua believed that Xena's fiancé was just some loser, so it was only natural for Xena not to care about him.To Joshua, this issue could already be considered resolved. Even if they decided it was excessive self-defense, Felix would still get a few years in prison.At the Phoenix Legion base, Belle entered the interrogation room where Felix was being held with a tablet in hand."Felix, do you know why you were brought here?"Felix stared at Belle expressionlessly. "If I find out that you're involved in this, not even Xena can save you."Belle immediately grew anxious at his words."Are you really threatening me right now, Felix? Can't you see where we are? Do you really think you can leave here unscathed just because of your meager connections with Ms. Summers?"With that, she placed the tablet on the table."The person you

The anxious and hesitant Belle couldn't help but take the risk and ask, "Milady, w-why has Mr. Holt Senior suddenly come to the Phoenix Legion base?""He's here to see Colonel Bradley Sutton. It turns out that Bradley's grandfather was Mr. Holt Senior's comrade-in-arms. I just found out about this as well."Belle instantly felt a great sense of relief, like the weight on her shoulders had suddenly been lifted.She had been terrified moments ago, thinking Ernest came specifically because of Felix, which would have caused a major problem.Not long after, a car slowly pulled up, and Ernest stepped out with his bodyguard, Jairo Acosta.Not only did Xena and Belle rush forward to greet Ernest, but a sharp-eyed middle-aged man also approached.That man was none other than Bradley Sutton, a highly influential figure and a colonel in the Phoenix Legion."Mr. Holt Senior!"Seeing Bradley's salute, Ernest said with a smile, "I'm retired now. No need for salutes."Bradley's eyes were fil

Xena began, "Mr. Holt Senior, I can assure you that the Phoenix Legion would never…"Ernest shot Xena a sharp glance before she could finish her sentence."Xena, you're still young. There are some things you shouldn't speak about so definitively. There is a difference between not knowing something and not revealing something."Just as Xena was about to make another firm statement, Belle piped up, "I'm sorry, Mr. Holt Senior. S-something like that did happen. I just found out about it as well."Xena abruptly turned to Belle, looking as if she wanted to devour the latter."Do you know what you're saying?"Belle, filled with fear, replied, "Y-yes, it's true. And the person who was taken is Felix Zeller."Right then, Ernest patted Bradley on the shoulder."Let's head to your office, Brad. I'll be leaving right after. I'm not as energetic as I used to be now that I'm older."After they left, Xena had a grim look on her face."Speak! Tell me everything, down to the last detail!"I

Belle was instantly displeased by what Felix said."Felix Zeller! Don't push your luck. To err is human. Besides, Lady Summers came personally because of the mistakes of her subordinates. What more do you want?"Seeing how Belle, who had someone else take the fall, was still so arrogant, Felix couldn't help but laugh out of sheer anger."Shut it!" Xena reprimanded before turning to Felix."I do owe you an apology for this. I take full responsibility for not providing proper leadership. Those involved will be handled per the law as well. Now, tell me—what is your condition?"Ernest was still at the base. Was Felix going to ask for him to come and remove the handcuffs himself?If that happened, Xena's future would be completely tarnished. This matter could either worsen into a big deal or become something trivial, but releasing Felix was the best thing to do for now."It's easy. In the future, when I go to visit Mr. Summers Senior, you must not stop me."Was that it? Xena had eve

After Joshua gave it some thought, he continued, "Then I will play along. On the day of the announcement, I'll put Felix on the spot and humiliate him in front of Xena. "Then, I'll get serious and deal with him so that both his spirit and body suffer a serious blow."His subordinate frowned before asking, "Sir, wouldn't this upset Lord Kane?"Joshua sneered."So what? My uncle has said that anyone who dares to obstruct me on the path of pursuing Xena will be dealt with. Lord Kane is just the deputy chief of Oasis Clinic."Even their chief has to show some respect in front of my uncle. Why should I fear him? Since he has chosen to stand against me, it's only natural that I don't have to play nice."After a short pause, he ordered, "Notify everyone that Stellar Group's banquet for the city within a city project has been moved up to the night after tomorrow."That night, in a booth at a bar in Avesburgh, Jack waved at Felix when the former saw him enter."The car has been washed,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 129
Upon witnessing such a scene, the people in the bar fled in fright."What is the meaning of this?"Jack frowned. He didn't understand why their table was the only one that wasn't allowed to leave. Trina moved closer to him, clearly terrified."They're probably here for me. You guys should leave first."Felix stood up and walked toward the man in black as he spoke. "They have nothing to do with this. I'll stay."The man in black sneered, but he didn't try to give them a hard time. His men immediately cleared a path for them."What the hell are you saying? How can I leave at a time like this? Trina, you should go."Jack, following behind Felix, cursed before shoving Trina toward the exit.They had been close friends for years. He could not leave Felix alone in such an obviously terrible situation."Jack, I can handle this. Trust me, okay? Besides, Trina's here; her safety should be your top priority."Ignoring the look Felix was giving him, Jack forcefully pushed Trina away wit

Jack was dumbfounded. He had been in fights before, and from the aura and speed of the middle-aged man, it was clear to Jack that the man was formidable. Yet, he was easily dealt with by Felix."I underestimated you." Frowning, Dora waved her right hand, sending the other two martial artists charging forward.Alas, the outcome didn't change as both of them collapsed after being hit by Felix.At this point, Dora was utterly shocked."Interesting. I didn't think that I would meet a martial artist like you over fondue."Even though her three pillars of strength were unconscious, Dora remained completely unflustered, which piqued Felix's curiosity."Can this matter be over now?"After all, this was a mess Sasha had created, and Felix didn't want to waste more time on it.Dora didn't answer his question. She merely gave him a long look before turning to leave.Now that the bar was finally empty, Jack piped up, "Dang! Felix, you're that strong?" Tilting his head, Felix answered,

"I didn't know about the restaurant before that night," Felix answered truthfully. He was curious if there was really more to this than met the eye."Heh! Now this is getting interesting. Everyone who knows me is aware that I go to that fondue restaurant at the same time every week. If someone wanted us to clash, that would have been the perfect time."Dora was above doing things this way, but Felix's unexpected strength, along with her calmness now, made her rethink things carefully.Felix also began to consider the situation. After hearing what Dora said and recalling Sasha's reaction at the time, he did think it was a bit suspicious.At that moment, the door opened, and an old man entered after entering the residence's passcode."If you can beat him or even end the match with a draw, then we'll call it even."After speaking, Dora backed away a bit. This action showed just how extraordinary the old man's strength must be, as she was clearly afraid of getting caught up in the fi

Seekstorm's large eyes were bright blue, filled with a hint of timidity and curiosity.Felix didn't dare make any sudden moves. He was afraid of scaring the little beast but also curious about what it was planning to do.After a few minutes of tense silence, Seekstorm slowly began to approach Felix, coming right up to him. It wasn't that friendly with him last time. Seeing its eyes sparkle with a hint of affection, Felix was almost in disbelief. He grabbed the steak and held it out.The little creature almost drooled, but after staring for a few seconds, it forced itself to look back at him instead."Hm? Why are you staring at me instead of eating your favorite steak?"Felix knew it wasn't because of his increased charisma upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm level. It was more likely that something he carried was attracting Seekstorm.After turning down several things with little interest, Seekstorm's eyes lit up when it saw the red bone that appeared during Aiden's demise. It

Who would have thought that Felix would just stand in midair like that, looking down at everyone around him? Wasn't that the sign of a Grandmaster Realm martial artist?It was universally accepted that martial artists of Grandmaster Realm couldn't fly, but they could stand in midair. So far, no technique or secret method has been discovered that could achieve such a feat. While the strongest martial artists could momentarily leverage the air to support themselves, only a martial artist of Grandmaster Realm could stand in midair like that.At that moment, Felix basked in the awe and respect of the people of Ghosttown. His heart swelled with satisfaction.Just as he'd predicted, reaching the peak of Transcendent Realm and absorbing the last piece of the Dragonspine had pushed him straight to the pinnacle of martial prowess—Grandmaster Realm level.No wonder he could absorb the Dragonspine so quickly this time. It only took a couple of days, and even though he was struck by lightnin
Chapter 1098
After confirming the results, with three days left until the full moon, Felix decided to absorb the last piece of the Dragonspine. Having successfully forged his Ethereal Constitution, there was no one in Martial City who could rival him at his current level. Nonetheless, he didn't want to risk any unexpected surprises.By noon on the third day, the sun was blazing down mercilessly, scorching the earth.A middle-aged man and woman quietly approached a particular house."I… I still feel uneasy about this. That's the Demoness' house, after all," the woman said hesitantly.The man scolded her, "What are you afraid of? The Demoness has been gone for nearly two years. She's long since left. Who knows? We might find some valuable treasures or secret techniques inside. Just because she didn't care for them doesn't mean they're useless to us."The thought of potential riches emboldened them. Although the woman hesitated, she eventually steeled herself and continued forward.Just as the

Felix's mind went completely blank at that moment. He was so shocked that he didn't even notice the emerald slip turning into a streak of light and flying away.His new discovery was simply too incredible. The emerald slip contained none other than the next part of the Lone Paragon. Back when he first learned it, he had wondered why the Lone Paragon technique was limited to a threefold power boost. Finally, his suspicions had been confirmed.When he finally snapped out of his daze, he couldn't help but sigh. "Danger and opportunity truly go hand in hand."With his current strength, he mastered this new part of Lone Paragon in an instant, increasing the power boost from threefold to fourfold."Could there be even more beyond this? If I master the entire technique, just how terrifying will my combat power become?"As he took a moment to center himself, an even greater wave of excitement washed over him.Not only did this new section of Lone Paragon increase his power further, but

Felix chuckled. He had to admit that Kevin was an incredibly difficult opponent. He was sure the man had only sensed something unusual, without fully understanding what had changed. Despite that uncertainty, he chose to flee without hesitation."Do you really think you can escape?" Felix asked.Lumen reappeared in an instant, materializing right in front of Kevin as if teleporting. This was true speed at its peak."Humph! I thought you would do something else. This thing failed to break through my defenses previously. Did I misjudge?" Kevin thought.Once again, the red glow flared up, forming a barrier to block Lumen. But this time, things were different.With a crack, something shattered. Lumen had pierced straight through Kevin's body. At first glance, there seemed to be no visible damage. Felix, who had just caught up with Lumen, knew the truth. Kevin was already dead. His soul had been obliterated in an instant.There wasn't even a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Everything

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
