The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1300
There was no doubt that the Phaeron Codex was truly powerful. Just the Spirit Eye technique alone proved its worth. Not only did it work without physical contact, but as one's strength grew, its range extended as well. Most importantly, unlike Soul Manifestation, using Spirit Eye didn't cut off one's awareness of the outside world."I've erased the ties Hall of Souls left on your soul," Felix said.The middle-aged man was utterly stunned. No wonder the organization had warned them to avoid any confrontation with Felix for now. Felix had already reached a terrifying level that he could even remove the soul-binding constraints."You're one of Hall of Souls' Green Soul Scouts, aren't you?"At this point, his fate was no longer in his own hands. What reason was there to deny it?"Yes, I am."A bitter smile crept onto his face. "But honestly, you won't get much valuable information from me. While we rank above Blue Soul Scouts and can access some hidden details, it's not much. "

Felix quickly turned his head to see a man rushing toward him about 30 feet away. The man's arms were unnaturally long, completely beyond a human's reach. If they hung naturally, his fingertips would've easily touched his ankles.His speed was terrifying. Using his arms to propel himself forward, he crossed the long distance in almost a blink of an eye. On the other hand, Felix stood still—not even raising his fists.An invisible force immediately hit the strange man. There was a bang as the man's whole body exploded, his head flying into the air. As the head fell to the ground, a body seemed to sprout from the base of the neck. Felix had only seen such regeneration in Malevolent Phantoms before, and it could only happen after getting destroyed multiple times. A slight frown formed on his face. Felix slowly raised his right hand, stretching out his index finger before tapping lightly.There was another bang, though much quieter than before. The man who just regrew his body stood s

Since even the man—a Green Soul Scout—confirmed Felix's thoughts, this was most likely the latest experiment. Despite using his domain, he couldn't sense the Malevolent Phantom in the man. This could only mean one thing—the range of control over these things had exceeded his domain."The soul ties on you. Hall of Souls can always track where you are, right?" "Yes."With that answer, Felix finally understood how Hall of Souls found him. However, the only thing he couldn't figure out was why they were using experiments against him, knowing that it was useless."Alright. Let's get back to the Black Soul Scout you mentioned."…More than ten minutes later, Xena and Hector arrived with a group of people. Felix handed the Green Soul Scout over to them and pointed at the headless corpse. "That should be the latest experiment developed by Hall of Souls. We seem to have quite some trouble on our hands."After listening to his explanation, the two of them frowned. "I didn't expect Ha

Felix looked into Donna's serious eyes and took a step back. "What are you trying to do?"Donna was an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. Kissing her? He wouldn't have even thought about touching her!Donna chuckled. "Look at how terrified you are. If I wanted you dead, you would've been dead a long time ago. Do I really need to prove myself?"Although that was true, Felix was still doubtful. "What do you mean? Do you just want to feel how it is to kiss a human?" "Hey! I'm not that boring." She pointed at his chest and said solemnly, "You damaged your soul in the fight with the S-tier Malevolent Phantom. If you kiss me, I can use my soul power to heal you. "After all, I made a lot of profit from the Mystical Explosive Orb this time, so you deserve to be rewarded."S-tier Malevolent Phantoms could heal people? Felix was shocked. The abilities of Malevolent Phantoms were beyond human comprehension."I'm fine," he replied.When Donna heard this answer, she burst out laughing, even throw

"If my soul energy isn't strong enough, then I wouldn't have thought twice to use my martial arts in a near-death situation. That way, I could at least turn the situation around. "If my soul was strong enough, I wouldn't need to use martial arts to kill the S-tier Malevolent Phantom. Then, after your little kiss, you'd get the answer you wanted," Felix concluded.With that, Donna started clapping and laughed. "I'm really starting to like you more and more. Deciding to work with you was definitely my best choice."When she saw Felix's brooding expression, she stuck out her tongue and was acting cutesy. "Oh, don't be angry! I just want to know the full strength of my partner. Besides, you usually don't let me touch you, and it was a good chance to kill two birds with one stone. "Being able to kill an S-tier Malevolent Phantom with soul attacks alone—despite its soul core being exposed—meant you must've at least reached Higher Spirit Realm. How amazing!" she said with a smirk. "Of

Just by Billy's voice, it seemed like he wasn't fooling around. Recalling Billy's absence and phone being turned off, did he truly run into danger? But what kind of person could hurt Billy?"What is it? How can I help you?" Felix quickly asked.Billy's voice immediately dropped, as if he was hiding. "The Sword Goddess. She's hunting me down, Felix! Please make her stop. If this keeps up, I'm going to die!"Dahlia? Felix was confused. The only Sword Goddess he knew of was Dahlia. Many people knew her because of her Duo Moon Sword. As Felix thought about it, he seemed to realize that he hadn't heard of Dahlia in a long time."Are you sure it's Dahlia?" Felix asked with a frown. Dahlia was definitely powerful, but even he couldn't judge how powerful she was. In comparison, Billy was more of a mystery and definitely more powerful. How did this happen?"No shit! I took leave because I got injured by her! Help me quickly! You ungrateful bastard, are you seriously not going to help m

By 4:00 pm, Felix and Donna arrived at Zuera Airport. The Green Soul Scout had said that the private paradise was located here, but he wasn't sure where the mall was. It was the reason Felix came here in the first place.Besides, the Green Soul Scout never dared to confirm the information as it was hearsay. "Well, I'll have to trouble you for this then, Ms. Webster. I'll wait to hear from you."Donna made an okay gesture with her fingers and was about to walk off, but Felix thought of something. "You won't get chased away by S-tier Malevolent Phantoms here, right?"She gave him a blank look. "From the moment I step foot here, the S-tier Malevolent Phantoms have already sensed it. I can't guarantee if they would drive me off or not, so hurry up. I have to go."Her answer shocked Felix. However, once she left, Felix was about to call for a taxi to the hotel when Luna called. "Luna? Have you arrived in Dragonia?""Mm-hmm, I've been here for a while now. Fortunately, you found o

Somewhere in Zuera, Specter, the S-tier Malevolent Phantom Donna knew, lay naked on the bed. A beautiful woman lay next to him. Despite being a little older, she was still beautiful. Even young men would be highly attracted to her. He sighed. "Compared to soul fusion, this feels so much weaker."The woman laughed. "That's right! What a pity we can't reproduce. Otherwise, why would we use such a low-level way to please one another?"Their "reproduction" was the fusion of souls. It was how the Malevolent Phantoms multiplied. However, before being sent here, they had rules in place. Despite being S-tier Malevolent Phantoms, they were temporarily forced to please themselves through human methods instead.The two of them felt it almost at the exact same time. "Huh? Donna came to Zuera? What is she doing here?" Specter muttered as he turned to look at the woman. "Mackenzie, she doesn't know who was at Laurel Resort—the one who used to live in Zuera. You can definitely pretend to be th

At the edge of Zuera, near the city border, Felix met with Donna. For now, he kept Zara in the car and did not ask her to step out.Felix teased, "I'm guessing S-tier Malevolent Phantoms like you are too proud to ever say 'sorry' to someone like me, huh?"Donna nodded. "This time, it was my mistake. I didn't expect Specter to be bold enough to pull something like that."To say Felix was not angry would have been a lie—he had nearly lost his life because of this. Of course, he had every right to be furious.He argued, "A mistake? Do you even realize that your so-called 'mistake' almost got my soul erased from existence? Then again, judging by how Specter behaved, "It's clear he wasn't interested in the Mystical Explosive Orb, which means you didn't lose a damn thing. You can just move on and pick your next partner like nothing happened."Donna knew she was in the wrong and did not try to reason.Felix continued, "I just don't get it! Zuera's S-tier Phantoms wouldn't let you in,

Terrence's eyes were surprisingly clear as he gave Felix a faint smile. He said, "I'm a dead man anyway, so why worry about all that? Even if I hadn't told you, I doubt you would've fallen for the trick. I could tell from the way you fought—you're too sharp for that."He looked at Felix, his gaze distant with a hint of nostalgia. He added, "Felix, I believe you're one of the few who'll truly shake the world in the days to come. Let me go in peace. If you can, cremate me. I've never liked the idea of rotting underground."Felix pressed a finger to Terrence's forehead, and the latter closed his eyes.Felix still did not dare use soul search on any of Eight Guardians—mainly because of the Ancient Sage. Just thinking back to Bonnie was proof enough that the Ancient Sage's expertise in soul techniques ran deep. There was no saying what kind of protections or traps were in place, and one misstep could backfire in ways Felix could not afford. Besides, the Guardians were not going around
Chapter 1343
Felix finally felt relaxed once they arrived in Zuera. For now, it looked like Specter was not coming back—at least not anytime soon. Still, he needed to check with Donna to know for sure.He said, "Zara, give me a minute."Right now, the priority was getting some answers out of Terrence. That mattered more than anything else. Otherwise, Felix would have already killed him instead of dragging him back here.In the hotel suite, Terrence lay half-dead on the bed, barely conscious. Yet, when Felix walked in, he actually smiled.He said calmly, "Getting killed by someone like you? Honestly, I've got no regrets. Ask whatever you want. I'll tell you what I can. But if it's something I'm not supposed to reveal, not even a soul search will get it out of me."Felix did not doubt that at all. After all, Eight Guardians served directly under the Ancient Sage—a figure whose power and methods were far beyond anything Felix could predict or afford to mess with. Especially since that exact figur
Chapter 1342
Specter looked calm and uneventful on the surface, as if nothing happened. However, Felix knew the truth. That strike was far worse than the one before—it had gone straight for his soul.Just as he was about to summon all his soul-bound weapons and activate spells from the Phaeron Codex to counter it, someone suddenly appeared in front of him. Yes, a person—just like that. The person had long hair flowing, no warning, no presence, and no sound. It was as if they had just teleported right in front of him, shielding him without hesitation."Hollow Soul? No way!" Felix gasped.Before he could make sense of it, he heard Specter's voice crack a little as if something shocked even him. Then, the figure turned around."Zara?" Felix blinked in disbelief. He felt like he was dreaming. That gentle smile and that familiar face—it was unmistakably her."Hi, honey." The sound of her voice, calling him the way she used to, brought Felix crashing back to reality. It finally dawned on him tha

Terrence was completely baffled. Forget the abandoned fertilizer plant—at this point, even the area surrounding it for miles had turned into a nightmare. No regular person, not even a Transcendent Realm martial artist, would dare get anywhere near it. They would be running for their lives.And yet, right now, this man who called himself Specter had shown up—calm and unbothered.At the same time, Felix also spotted Specter, and his expression instantly turned dark. He snarled, "Donna! What the hell is going on with you? Weren't you supposed to take care of Specter? So, how the hell is he back in Zuera… and how did he even find this place?"Felix did not believe for a second that Specter came just to catch up and have a friendly chat."What a shame," Specter said with a faint smirk. "I didn't think Donna's method would actually work. No—guess she just found the right person."Felix tried to stall for time. He was already injured, and even if he were at full strength, going up agains
Chapter 1340
As Terrence launched his final strike, the phantom images of a serpent, grizzly, saber, and panther flickered around him, each one adding to the overwhelming power of the attack. Even before the blow landed, Felix could feel the sheer intensity radiating from it."Your last move?" Felix frowned, sensing another wave of soul energy attacks coming his way. This time, the two streams of soul energy merged mid-air, forming a single, devastating force that descended upon him from above.Without hesitation, Felix summoned the Mountain Mover, a powerful soul-bound weapon he had recently acquired, and hurled it at the merged soul energy. At the same time, he unleashed his Dragon Punches, clashing head-on with Terrence's attack.Soul energy attacks were always faster than any martial technique, so Felix knew he had to neutralize that threat first. He remembered his fight with Bonnie, where he had not had the chance to use his martial skills because of the relentless soul energy assault. He
Chapter 1339
Everything seemed to move in slow motion, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Felix's full set of Dragon Punches was lightning-fast, but something unexpected happened just as he was about to complete the sequence."Damn it!" Felix cursed as two waves of soul energy suddenly surged toward him from both sides, targeting his very soul. Distracted, he halted the Dragon Punches and summoned the Infinite Shield, which barely managed to block the incoming attacks. Based on his assessment, these soul energies were at least at the Iron Spirit Realm level, making them a serious threat."This isn't Terrence's doing," Felix realized. He was sure Terrence had no expertise in soul energy, so who was behind this? When he first arrived, he had scanned the area and sensed only three living beings besides Holden—Terrence and two early-stage Transcendent Realm fighters. Could it be them?Felix quickly focused his senses and was shocked to find the two early-stage Transcendent R
Chapter 1338
Felix's lips curled into a slight smirk as he launched his fists forward, moving so fast that even afterimages were hard to see. His punches collided violently with Terrence's serpent, grizzly, saber, and panther-like energy forms. The sheer force of their clash instantly reduced the entire fertilizer plant to rubble, as if it had never existed in the first place.Terrence's excitement grew, and he laughed maniacally. "This is exhilarating! No wonder the Ancient Sage has taken notice of you. Now that the warm-up's over, let's get serious."He suddenly bit his finger and muttered something under his breath. Then, the four gray energy arms surrounding him swelled in size and speed.Terrence, who had kept his real hands idle until now, finally began to move them. His power had skyrocketed, forcing Felix to bring out his Dragon Punches to keep up. "Impressive! You're actually pushing me back a bit," Terrence admitted after a few minutes, genuinely shocked by Felix's strength. As o

Felix glanced around, noticing two figures standing on rooftops about a hundred feet away on either side. Both were expressionless and had their eyes locked on him. They had appeared when he arrived, doing nothing but watching him intently."Two early-stage Transcendent Realm martial artists? This is your big gift for me? I thought the Eight Guardians didn't need help, and even if they did, it wouldn't be from these amateurs," Felix said, his tone mocking.Honestly, he could not see how two early-stage Transcendent Realm fighters could pose any threat to him. Even if they attacked him nonstop for three days, they would not be able to scratch him.Terrence let out a cold laugh. "Normally, the Eight Guardians wouldn't need help to deal with someone like you. But what they offered me was too good to refuse. The Ancient Sage never said outsiders couldn't be involved, so why not?" He shrugged and added, "Think of them as spectators. They won't be lifting a finger."He then gestured to
