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

Right then, Felix threw a punch at Morius. Morius snorted coldly and formed a hand seal, seemingly about to use some extraordinary technique. Unfortunately for him, they were in the middle of the city, and Felix wouldn't want to cause widespread damage. He then used his Dragon Punches to focus his power on a single point. A thunderous boom erupted. Morius shuddered violently before falling straight to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief. How could the difference between their power be this huge? That was just impossible!Bazzo was dumbfounded. His invincible grandfather had been defeated with a single strike. The shock was beyond words. "You don't deserve to be alive!" When Bazzo heard Felix's voice again, he wanted to beg for mercy. However, darkness overtook him, and he lost his last strand of consciousness. Felix appeared in front of Bazzo. He raised his right hand, and a green vest-like garment flew toward him. It looked like it was woven from some kind of green g

After stepping outside, Felix answered the call. Xena's voice came through instantly. "I've made up my mind," she said.Felix hesitated, knowing this decision was incredibly difficult. Though they had once loved each other and been intimate, several years had passed, and everything had changed. "Maybe you should think about it more," Felix said."I really have thought it through. This is our best chance to get valuable information about the Hall of Souls. I don't want to miss this opportunity." She added one more thing before hanging up, "And since it's with you, I can accept it." Felix sighed deeply. It seemed Xena still loved him. Unfortunately, time had passed. Some things, once missed, could be very difficult to get back. He immediately sent Billy a message. Despite it being late at night, he received a reply right away. "Got it. I'll be in Zuera in three days. I need to prepare some things." "Okay." By the time Felix returned to the hotel, dawn was breaking. There wa

At this point, Steve's expression became quite interesting. "Think about it. Everyone who wants that land plans to grow grapes and open a winery. If the land gets contaminated, what's the point?" Paul was definitely hardcore for being willing to go that far rather than sell the land. What could he possibly be thinking? "As for underhanded methods, those eventually stopped too! Paul has an extremely powerful cousin, and nobody in Zuera dares to mess with him. Anyone who tries those tactics better be prepared for retaliation." Felix rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Everyone had their price. He didn't believe Paul was truly a man without desires—that was simply impossible. "How about this—can you arrange a dinner between me and Paul? That shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Steve smiled. "Absolutely. As long as it doesn't involve that land, Paul will show me the respect I deserve. "But once we're at the table, if you bring up the land, he definitely won't budge. I hope you won't
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1323
Paul added, "I'm really just joking. No offense, Mr. Zeller." Even Steve frowned. What kind of ridiculous joke was this? Getting 15 fighter jets to fly over in half an hour? How many people in the entire country could pull that off? This went way beyond what connections or relationships could accomplish. Of course, Paul knew this, too. He said it on purpose to end the matter once and for all, shutting down any further discussion with Felix. "I could do it, but fighter jets aren't for shows or settling bets. They only deploy for emergency missions. Do you understand what I mean?" Felix retorted.If this involved national security, Felix would not hesitate to make the call. But this was just Luna's personal matter, and he hadn't lost his sense of perspective on what warranted such action. "You're right, Mr. Zeller. I was really just kidding." Despite the smile on Paul's face, he was inwardly looking down on Felix. How shameless this young man was—unable to deliver yet still
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1324
Felix couldn't care less about all that. He said, "So now, you can make your request. You should believe by now that there's nothing I can't accomplish, right?" Paul glanced at Steve with a helpless expression. Felix's status had reached an unimaginable level, which was totally different from all the previous buyers. If Paul offended someone like this, even without running a normal business, he'd probably find living like a regular citizen impossible. And this wouldn't just be in Zuera, but likely throughout all of Dragonia. Would he need to move abroad because of this? After thinking it over, Paul finally spoke up. "Actually, the person who really has the final say over this land is my cousin. Mr. Jacinto knows about my cousin's existence." Steve's expression changed, but Felix responded nonchalantly, "Fine. Call your cousin here, and I'll talk to him directly." Paul looked uncomfortable and seemed a bit embarrassed. "Well, my cousin has a hot temper and speaks very rudely.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection 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

With a thump, Lincoln dropped to his knees and began thanking Felix, tears in his eyes. Every motion came from the heart."Get up, come on," Felix said, helping him back to his feet. "We met because of fate. Besides, if you hadn't led me out of that forest, I'd probably be dead by now."As Lincoln was lifted up, Mateo was already getting excited. "Hurry! Help me outside. I want to see what it looks like out there!"Out on the village path, two older women were walking side by side, gossiping and chuckling softly."Right? That guy got chewed out by Kimberly so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. Serves him right!"Just as they were laughing, they caught sight of Mateo standing at the gate. They greeted him cheerfully, "Mateo!"He smiled back warmly. "Not asleep yet?"But before they could respond, both women froze mid-step. Their eyes widened as they stared in disbelief. Mateo was standing upright on his own. Lincoln stood a full yard away, not even close enough

Lincoln's jaw practically hit the floor as he stared at Felix in disbelief. "Felix, are you really a doctor?"Felix gave a sheepish smile, his expression just as confused."Yeah… I just remembered it a moment ago. No wonder I had flashes of those silver needles. Maybe it's because you talked about all this. It helped jog my memory. Thank you, Lincoln."Lincoln grew excited. "Then, Felix, can you heal my father's legs? He's been dreaming of walking again…"People from small villages had no idea what it took to treat legs that hadn't moved for a whole year. However, it actually worked out perfectly for Felix.What he needed right now was a safe place, away from danger, where he could think through the whole situation with Nine Flames. Everything else was secondary.Putting on a hesitant expression, Felix sighed. "I can try, but I don't have any silver needles with me."When the Starmark transported him, everything that wasn't part of his body or soul had been left behind on Earth.

Leandre just took a few puffs of his pipe. "He can stay the night at your house. That's final."With that, he walked away.His tone was firm and unquestionable. With Leandre—the chief—showing his authority, Lincoln didn't dare protest any further. He could only give Felix an apologetic look."Sorry, Felix. I didn't know Leandre was so wary of outsiders."Felix chuckled. "It's fine. I'm just grateful he let me stay the night."Innswood Village was visibly poor. There was not a single brick house in sight. Everything was made of straw and wood, barely holding together.The village was small. According to Lincoln, only about 300 people lived there.On the way in, Felix had also learned that Lincoln's father was still alive, but he'd broken both his legs a year ago while out foraging. Since then, he'd been bedridden, and all the responsibility of supporting the family had fallen on Lincoln's shoulders. Honestly, Lincoln was as filial as they came."You must be Felix. Thank you for

If Nine Flames on Aquamarinus were the only thing keeping Desolated Lands from spreading, then wouldn't taking them mean total destruction for the planet?How many people would die if Felix really went through with that?However, if he didn't do it, he'd fail the elimination round. He wouldn't advance further and would lose all chance of winning. Once that happened, the second wave from the Orion family would arrive, and Earth would be the next to fall. That was guaranteed.For a moment, Felix's thoughts were a complete mess. Was this what Donna meant when she said that once one entered the Rank-Ascending Competition, one had to let go of everything and think only of yourself?"Felix, are you okay?" Lincoln asked.They'd gotten a little familiar along the way, so when Lincoln saw Felix stop in his tracks with a dark expression, he hesitated but still spoke up.Felix's train of thought was broken. He let out a bitter laugh. "It's nothing. Just remembered something. Let's keep goin

"A-Are you a martial artist?"The sudden voice made Felix turn around. It was the young man from earlier. He had returned, looking a little timid. Only now did Felix notice he was carrying a woven basket on his back."Yes." Felix nodded. Since the guy could even recognize what a martial artist was, it meant he wasn't clueless.A flash of admiration appeared in the young man's eyes. "No wonder you were able to take down that long-armed ape. Thank you, really."Felix wondered if that was all the gratitude he would receive. The young man looked like he was about to turn around and leave."Hey, could you help me get out of here? Honestly, I don't even know how I got in. When I woke up, it was like I had amnesia. I only remember my name and a few blurry things."The young man smiled warmly. "Of course! Good thing you said something—if night falls and you're still in Desolated Lands, you'd be as good as dead."Felix inhaled sharply, figuring that he couldn't avoid doing good deeds, af

"Is this a forest?" Felix asked.When the swirling lights around him finally faded, Felix had no idea how much time had passed. His body felt fine, but the moment he looked around, his expression changed.Towering trees surrounded him, with only the faintest shafts of sunlight filtering through the dense canopy. The trees were massive. By his estimate, they stood at least 600 feet high. There was no way trees like this existed on Earth.It wasn't just one or two of them. It was an endless forest, stretching as far as the eye could see. It was a literal sea of trees.Suddenly, Felix's right hand shot out and caught a small snake that had lunged at him. It wasn't only about the width of his thumb. However, it had a sharp triangular head and a green body. It hissed viciously at Felix. Even with its body restrained, it didn't back down at all."This thing's different," Felix remarked.He gave it a light squeeze, and his eyes widened. The snake's scales were hard like steel. It felt l

"Back then, I was an S-rank Malevolent Phantom," Donna said. "There were tons of restrictions placed on me, so I couldn't say much even if I wanted to. "But now that I've reforged my soul, those restrictions are gone. My soul power and memories are all intact, so you should understand what that means."Felix's interest immediately sparked. He knew almost nothing about the Rank-Ascending Competition, and neither did Gerald. Funny how a former Malevolent Phantom might actually be his best source of information."I don't know everything, but I can tell you what I do know, as it could be of a little help. First off, our wave of Malevolent Phantoms was just the first. "The next group coming will be from the Orion family. They're extremely powerful. One of their ancestors won the Rank-Ascending Competition generations ago. They've already contacted multiple planets, and Earth is their next target."That caught Felix's attention, as Gerald had mentioned something about powerful familie

Felix was startled. Cordelia's reaction meant something serious had happened."Mom! What's wrong?" he asked.It wasn't until he spoke that Cordelia seemed to realize her beloved Felix was awake. Without a second thought, she rushed over to him. "Felix, you're awake? Are you feeling okay? When we found you, you were covered in blood from head to toe."Felix wasn't concerned about himself."I'm fine, really. But what about you, Mom? What happened?"His question seemed to snap her out of it. Since he was alright, her expression lit up with joy."I'm just so happy. It's amazing news! Nerissa is pregnant!"Felix froze, completely caught off guard. Soon, panic kicked in. "She's pregnant? Wait. Does that mean I'm going to be a dad?"Even Nerissa looked shocked. She had only started noticing some symptoms and had gone for a checkup with Cordelia. She hadn't expected to be pregnant for real."That's right, you little rascal! Now do you see? Your mom's instincts were spot on! Look at

Just then, the Ancient Sage's meridians finally stabilized. Without wasting a second, he unleashed his strongest move once again."Lightning Matrix!"A huge mouthful of blood burst from his lips. His face went deathly pale as he activated the secret technique. Disregarding the harm he was inflicting on his body, he struck Felix. This time, he unleashed the true Lightning Matrix, not the lighter version he used against Felix previously. "Bring it on!" Felix was completely fearless now. Although his energy was locked in place and his body was paralyzed, he radiated power."I'm about to compete in the Rank-Ascending Competition. There's no way I'll die here."It was like something inside him snapped. Felix suddenly burst into motion. Instead of passively handling the attacks, he charged straight toward the three lightning palms crashing down on him.Even the Ancient Sage was shaken. He could hardly believe that a battle could escalate to this level.When the smoke finally cleared,
