The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1312
Holy crap, this sounded like some kind of tantric sex magic to Felix. No wonder Billy had mentioned ethics and good values earlier. Felix asked, "So, people with Soulhunters are super powerful, right?" Billy snickered and said, "How could that be possible? Life may never be fair, but it doesn't build anyone a direct path to the top. "Take the Soulhunter, for example. To keep advancing this way, you'd need to throw away all your good values and keep performing Spirit Binding with the opposite sex. "And if you do it with the same person, it only works the first time unless the other person levels up again." Now that Billy had mentioned ethics again, Felix looked uncomfortable. "So… does Soul Binding really feel good?" Billy sighed and gave it to him straight. "I won't lie to you. This thing is way more intense than regular lovemaking. Put it this way—people with poor self-control would get hooked after just one time. "But you can't do Soul Binding too often, or it causes pe
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1313
Felix studied the card carefully for a long time, his expression darkening. With his abilities, he couldn't have mistaken Madeline for someone else. The woman on this card looked exactly like Madeline. There might be lookalikes in the world. But aside from identical twins, strangers couldn't possibly look this similar. Felix was Madeline's good friend. Since he had stumbled upon this, he definitely needed to investigate. For someone like him, this kind of small matter was hardly any trouble at all. He dialed the number on the card, and someone answered quickly. "Do you need a massage?" "Yeah, the woman on your advertisement card looks nice. Can you send her over?"But the response made Felix even more annoyed. "Sorry. She's our top model. Two days ago, a client booked her for a whole month and took her on a world tour. "But don't worry. All our young women are exceptionally beautiful. Just tell me what type you prefer, and I'll arrange someone right away. We even have wome

Using money was another way to get answers as well. Felix asked, "Tell me—do you know the woman on this card?" Andrea was quite an interesting woman. She smiled and said, "What? If I tell you something, is all this money mine?" Felix nodded. "That's right. If you can give me any relevant information about this woman, the money is yours. You can take it and leave now, or you can sleep in the guest room until morning." Andrea's eyes grew even brighter. She sat down across from Felix, thought for a moment, and said, "I actually do know something, since you're not the first person interested in the woman on the card. "I'll be straight with you—our boss, Bazzo Lazaro, is no ordinary guy. I've almost saved enough to move back to my hometown, so if you add a few more thousand dollars, I'll tell you everything." Interesting. Felix tossed a bag on the table containing another 80,000 dollars, also withdrawn earlier. "Here's a hundred thousand dollars in total. Can you talk now?" Afte

Four men stood at the suite door. The leader was Cordon Abrams, a burly man with a crew cut. He grabbed Andrea by her hair and yanked her back inside. "I didn't do anything, I swear!" Andrea pleaded. But Cordon laughed coldly as he picked up the bag, letting all the money fall to the floor. "Really? Did he give you all this money just because you're pretty, then?" Then, he turned to Felix, who was sitting on the couch. "You seem to have a lot of money. Why not spend it enjoying women instead of asking about things you shouldn't know?" Felix remained calm as he said softly, "Looks like you put a listening device on her. You really don't give her any freedom. But with all my money, are you sure you want to mess with me?" To his surprise, Cordon laughed. "You must be from out of town. Do you really think money makes you special? If you had the chance to ask about Mr. Lazaro's reputation in this city, you wouldn't talk like that. "We've dealt with plenty of rich guys like you,
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1316
Cordon did not act timid anymore. Instead, he smirked with confidence. "Now that you're on our turf, you play by our rules. Not so cocky anymore, huh?" Felix ignored him, figuring the swimmer in the pool must be Bazzo. After a few more laps, Bazzo climbed out. Someone quickly handed him a towel, and Felix was surprised to see he was a young man. "Mr. Lazaro, this is the man asking about the woman on that card." Cordon then added quietly, "He's a martial artist, and he seems pretty strong." Bazzo gave a slight nod and looked Felix over. "You know Madeline, right?" Since they were getting straight to the point, Felix didn't beat around the bush either. "Yeah, and I'm here to make things right for her. You know there are consequences for doing this without her permission." Bazzo smiled. "Madeline and I were neighbors. I never got her out of my head. I told her how I felt back then, but she turned me down. "Women like that need to learn their lesson." After saying this, h
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1317
Felix stood there with a strange expression. This felt oddly familiar. It was almost exactly like what happened with Horace, who was Ashton's descendant. The only difference was that Horace had been protected by a wooden doll, a magical treasure that Felix now owned. But Bazzo was surrounded by swirling green light. Bazzo said, "I never thought you'd be this powerful. You even triggered the magical treasure my grandpa left me." Bazzo's eyes flickered with shock. He clearly had not expected Felix to be so strong. Without his grandfather's protection, he would definitely be dead by now. "There's a lot you don't know. Don't act like you're better than everyone else," Felix shot back.With Felix's current power, there were few people in all of Dragonia he truly feared. He would dare to fight even the Eight Guardians, let alone others. That was why seeing a face formed from the green light didn't intimidate him at all. Bazzo crossed his arms and smirked. "I can be pretty nice som
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1318
The situation looked bad—Bazzo knew he was no match for Felix. Once the magical treasure stopped working, he would be dead for sure. He yelled, "Hey! Do you really need to take this so far?" Most of his minions had already run off, and Felix did not stop them from going. That was why Bazzo thought he might still have a chance too. Upon seeing Felix remain silent, Bazzo got desperate. "I didn't hurt Madeline! Why do you have to kill me?" Anger flashed in Felix's eyes. "In today's world, rumors can destroy someone just as badly as physical pain. And you're saying you did nothing wrong?" Felix slowly raised his right hand. "Looks like you know your magical treasure is about to run out of time. Since your grandpa isn't showing up, I won't waste any more time on you." Just as he was about to strike, an old man in a gray trench coat appeared in front of Bazzo. With his messy hair and long beard, he looked rebellious and wild. "Hmph! You've got guts for waiting this long. No wonde

Morius was just about to speak again, but he nearly choked when he heard Felix's words. His eyes showed unprecedented shock, and he felt like he was about to lose his mind. How was this possible? Felix couldn't have reached the peak of Grandmaster Realm already, could he? Not every Grandmaster reached what was called the peak of Grandmaster Realm. While becoming a Grandmaster already showed their martial talent, one thing remained true—there was always someone stronger. It was like someone with ten thousand dollars in savings. Most people they knew were probably in the same financial bracket. But after working hard and saving a million dollars, they suddenly realized there were actually many people with that kind of money. That was the rule—just like with Grandmasters, there were always more impressive individuals out there. Morius had been a Grandmaster for years. Though his power had grown, he had never reached the so-called peak of Grandmaster Realm. Yet now, he sensed it

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

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

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
