The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1301
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1302
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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1308
That couldn't be helped. Most countries had short histories and lacked the means to fight against Malevolent Phantoms. Unlike Dragonia, which had 5,000 years of martial arts histories that were passed down through generations, contributing to the society."Tell me about your winery plans. What do you need help with? Don't be all polite with me. You know how I am!"Gratitude filled Luna's eyes. She was truly lucky to have met Felix. Otherwise, their family would've been replaced, and they wouldn't have survived. "The first and biggest issue is paperwork from the authorities. The powerful people I knew before had all turned against us because of our family's downfall. They wouldn't help us at all." Felix smiled. "That's a small matter. I can solve it with one phone call. What else?"Of course, knowing Felix's strengths, she didn't hold back. "Land is also a big issue. I actually came here to check out the land before, but I didn't expect that the land I liked was still for sale. H

Holden held up a tiny transparent vial filled with a black liquid. The eerie part was that the liquid seemed to writhe and move as if it were alive. Even Felix felt uneasy looking at it, let alone Holden, who was just an ordinary person. "It should be," Felix said, trying to reassure him, though he was not entirely sure himself. "Let's take it up and show your dad first." Just as Holden was about to put the vial away, he paused. "Wait a second, Mr. Zeller. Did they even have transparent glass like this in the Bronze Age?" Felix frowned. "I'm pretty sure they didn't."To modern eyes, a transparent vial might seem ordinary. Yet, over 2000 years ago, such a thing would have been impossible in the Bronze Age. Felix continued, "Don't overthink it. Francis wasn't an ordinary man, and his creations defy logic. Besides, the text on the wall said to throw the vial away after drinking the liquid."Holden did not know that his question had sparked Felix's interest in the vial. If Franci

If it were not for Felix being there, Holden would not have had the courage to approach the stone table. As he got closer, the ancient text began to appear on the wall behind it. Holden could not read most of it. "Mr. Zeller, can you understand what this says?"Felix nodded, a smile forming on his face. "This is definitely Francis' work. It's safe, and there's no danger. The serum is in the box. Go ahead and take it. Then, drip your blood on the two statues. They'll obey your commands."Having encountered living statues in Astoria, Felix was not surprised by Francis' creations. They were likely meant to protect his descendants.Upon hearing Felix's reassurance, Holden relaxed and managed a weak smile. But just as he was about to step forward, a loud crack echoed through the chamber, startling him. "Get back!" Felix extended his right hand, pulling Holden behind him with a swift motion.The two statues began to crack, the sound growing louder as fissures spread across their surf

Holden quickly ran over. "Mr. Zeller, what do you need me to do?" Felix was still deep in thought, frowning. This was not just an adventure—it was something Francis had left for his descendants. Why would he make it difficult for them?If the goal was to ensure the survival of his bloodline, there were a few methods they needed to try first. Forcing their way in might trigger some hidden trap Francis had set, putting even Felix in danger. Despite his immense power, Felix knew better than to underestimate the most extraordinary alchemist of the Bronze Age, and caution was key.Felix said, "Here's what we'll do. I'll make a small cut on your finger and let your blood drip onto the soil." Though confused, Holden extended his hand. "Whatever you say, Mr. Zeller."After the cut was made, blood dripped onto the ground. At first, Holden did not think much of it, but seconds later, his face paled as he watched the blood vanish without a trace. It was as if the soil had swallowed the b

Arriving at the tunnel entrance, Felix glanced at Paul. "Alright. Since Holden knows the way, you don't need to come. If things get dangerous, having an extra person to protect only increases the risk."Paul understood. He had poured enormous manpower and resources into this search, yet they still had not found anything. That alone proved that ordinary means would not work, and there was always the possibility of real danger lurking below."Mr. Zeller, please… protect Holden. He's my only child."Felix gave a small nod, and Paul pulled Holden into a tight embrace as if he were sending him off to war. Holden assured Paul, "Don't worry, Dad. Mr. Zeller's with me."The underground tunnels had electric lighting, a clear sign of just how much effort had gone into this excavation. Paul had even hired guards to keep watch, ensuring no outsiders wandered in. Though the area was remote, with only vineyard workers nearby, he had not taken any chances.Felix walked forward, keeping his eyes

On the pedestal lay a black object. While the others did not seem particularly moved, Felix felt as if his soul was being drawn into it."A soul-bound weapon?" Even without any formal recognition, Felix could sense the strange power emanating from the black object. As expected, anything left behind by Francis was bound to be extraordinary.As he stepped closer, Felix spoke again. "This looks like an inkstone, doesn't it?"Paul nodded. "Yes, it's an inkstone. When we first found the land, the inkstone started emitting a black glow. According to the records, the stronger the glow, the closer we are to the serum. But no matter how much we searched, the glow never grew beyond a certain point."Felix's mind began to race. The Inkspire Quill was a brush, and now this inkstone left by Francis—both were part of the traditional scholar's tools. Could there be a connection between them? Though he could not figure it out yet, it did not stop him from wanting to claim the inkstone for himsel
Chapter 1328
As Paul nodded, Felix continued, "So, you're saying you want me to find the serum, and then you'll sell the land?" "Yes, I can tell you're a reasonable man, Mr. Zeller. Otherwise, with your abilities, you could have taken the land by force long ago. I'm truly at my wit's end. I've searched everywhere and found nothing. Please, I beg you to help," Paul pleaded.Whatever reasons Francis had for setting this up must have been out of necessity. After all, who would deliberately curse their own descendants? Back then, Francis was in a desperate situation, constantly under King Aurelius's watch, with no other options. Felix replied, "Alright, I'll help. But I can only promise to do my best. This whole thing sounds too unbelievable to most people."Paul nearly burst into tears of relief. The fact that Felix could command Johann did not matter as much to him. What mattered was that Felix had killed Bazzo, something even Morius could not handle. This gave Paul hope that only someone lik
Chapter 1327
Felix's calm demeanor wavered slightly. There was no way he could stay composed when Francis was brought into the conversation. After all, he had already witnessed Francis' incredible abilities—extending someone's lifespan and the sheer power of the Inkspire Quill. It was impossible not to be intrigued.Despite his growing curiosity, Felix kept his tone light, almost teasing, as he asked, "Mr. Rossum, isn't this a bit of a stretch? A piece of land tied to someone from so long ago? Are you saying this land once belonged to Francis?" "No, no, Mr. Zeller, I'm telling the truth! You seem well-educated, so you must know history well. You're aware that historical records say Francis had no descendants in Dragonia, right?" Felix nodded. "Yes, given the circumstances back then, he wouldn't dare. Even if he did, King Aurelius would have taken them as hostages."Paul let out a bitter laugh. "You're absolutely right. But somehow, he did have descendants. Francis hid them so well that eve
Chapter 1326
Paul was stunned to hear that Bazzo was dead. After all, Morius was there, and the thought of him dying was unbelievable. Paul was stunned when Cordon continued, "You said it yourself—he could even command Johann. So tell me, how do you say no to someone like that, someone we can't afford to mess with in any way? He's not like the previous buyers. Our tricks are like child's play compared to what he can do."After a long pause, Paul finally let out a deep sigh. "I get it." Cordon thought Paul had come to his senses and relaxed a bit. When they entered the private room, Paul looked at Felix, his confidence completely shattered. He said, "Mr. Zeller, you can buy that land, but I have one condition."Cordon was so shocked by Paul's remark that he almost lost his balance. He thought, "What the hell! Did everything I just say go in one ear and out the other?"Upon thinking of this, he dropped to his knees. Paul might be ready to die, but he was not. He had just barely escaped with
Chapter 1325
When Felix saw who entered, his expression became incredibly odd—it was almost like he wanted to laugh. So Paul's mysterious cousin turned out to be Cordon, who had worked for Bazzo. At that moment, Felix marveled at the strange workings of fate. He had spared Cordon's life because of the Malevolent Phantoms and because he needed someone to handle the aftermath. Now, it seemed he had made the right choice. Coincidences really could happen all the time. "Ah, Cordon, you're here." Steve greeted him with a smile, while Paul sighed with relief. Now that his cousin had arrived, he believed this matter would be resolved. He had been very clear on the phone earlier. Just as Cordon was about to respond, he spotted Felix and froze completely. "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zeller, whom I mentioned on the phone. Though he's young, his status is extremely high. You'd better think before you speak." After Paul finished, he finally noticed something was wrong with Cordon. "Are you
