"I just wanted to know if you'd been somewhere in the past three days where you smelled something unusual," Felix told the woman.Snakefruits had a particularly strong fragrance, but regular people wouldn't be able to tell where the smell was coming from. Also, the snakefruit scent would only last a maximum of three days on a person before disappearing. That was why Felix structured his question like that.The woman frowned as she thought for a long time. Her eyes lit up as she replied, "Now that you mention it, I went hiking with a friend the other day and smelled a really nice scent somewhere in the hills. But we somehow just couldn't pinpoint its exact location."Felix's smile widened. It was just as he had suspected."Can you please tell me where it is? I can give you the money first if you're worried they might be fake. You can check the authenticity."There were ways for people to verify the authenticity of banknotes online nowadays. So, Felix just closed the case back up an

Felix didn't struggle against Xena and just followed her out of the elevator. Since Xena was here, that meant the masked man in the elevator had to be one of the most dangerous wanted criminals out there.He debated with himself for a brief moment. Ultimately, just before the doors closed, he shook his hand and secretly shot a needle at the man still inside.With how powerful the masked man was, Xena was definitely going to have to put up a serious fight if she wanted to take him down. And since Felix had run into their little operation here, he figured he should help her.In addition to that, they were in the middle of the bustling city center. If Xena and her team couldn't control the masked man, there would be other innocent casualties along the way.As expected, the smile on Xena's face had long vanished. "This place is very dangerous. Leave as quickly as you can!" Then, she sprinted toward the emergency staircase.Felix couldn't deny that the somewhat coquettish Xena just now

Belle immediately ran over to check on Santhor."Milady, he's dead!" she exclaimed.Xena scoffed coldly. "He deserves to die. He's the most disgusting wanted criminal on the list. Take him away!"Xena looked calm on the surface, but deep down, she was thoroughly confused. The database has said that Santhor was a very powerful person. The Earthen Hall probably couldn't even handle him, but she had defeated him way too easily just now.In fact, she hadn't even attacked him with all of her might. She recalled the final expression Santhor made before his death and wondered if she had been lucky enough to attack him right when he was feeling unwell. Perhaps something had happened to his physical body…However, none of that mattered anymore as long as this was the final outcome.Time passed by quickly. Around 4:00 pm, Felix arrived at the deserted hill Nora had told him about. However, with his keen sense of smell, he had already detected the unique snakefruit scent at the foot of the

Felix was rather taken aback to hear the man's claims, but that was just about it. After all, Xena couldn't have conjured all her fighting skills out of thin air. She had to have had a mentor or at least a sect from where she trained and learned them.Felix figured the man had to be telling at least 80% of the truth. Xena's status now was anything but ordinary. None of the sects would ever dare to crack a joke in her name like this unless they were from an extremely powerful one. The repercussions could be terrible if anyone else found out.Thinking that Felix must be shocked, the middle-aged man turned cocky and said, "Now that you're scared, you'd better hand over that snakefruit to me. It will only be a waste for you to take it away."Felix shook his head. "I'm not giving you the snakefruit, ever. It's still the same thing for me. I'm not in the mood for bloodshed today, so leave now."The next second, the man suddenly released his aura into the air. It was so powerful that the

"Doesn't this look like an acupuncture needle to you?" Xena asked.Belle replied, "Yes, milady. The needle has been confirmed to be an acupuncture needle."Xena had a strong feeling that this needle had to be the reason for Santhor's easy defeat just now. It had suppressed his true power, making it easy for her to take him down."Get all of the hotel's security footage here at once. I want to go through them myself," Xena declared."Yes, milady!" Belle nodded.Just then, a voice appeared in Belle's in-ear microphone."Milady, Perry Glover is here.""You may leave now. And ask him to come in," Belle replied.Xena felt sorry for Perry when he finally came into her office. Her uncle looked as if he had just aged by ten years."Xena! It's been so long! Why have you still not arrested Felix yet?" Perry questioned.Perry was at his wit's end. He had expected that Xena wouldn't have done anything much on her side, but to think that even the Inferno Clan hadn't made much progress eit

Sasha was confused. Why would Nora be looking for Felix? There didn't seem to be a possibility for the two of them to even know each other.In her circle of friends, Sasha looked down the most on Nora. She was a good-for-nothing sugar baby who would willingly bend over backward for money.It was most probably because Nora's family's company had gone bankrupt a few years ago, but she hadn't wanted to give up living her life of luxury. So, if she wanted to get large amounts of money quickly, the only way to do so without becoming a prostitute was to become a sugar baby to married men."Who's your boyfriend? Why would he want to kill you? That's too ridiculous."However, Nora's reply instantly made Sasha rejoice internally."Believe me, Sasha, he'll really kill me if he had the chance! He doesn't even give a fuck about people like Lord Kane. Please, can you find this someone for me?"Someone who didn't even care about Lord Kane? Sasha briefly glanced at Felix and wanted to laugh o

Felix nodded. "Because of this, I'll give you another chance. It's up to what your sister chooses to do after that."His sister? Sam's smile vanished. How dare such filthy trash like Felix bring up Dora? Did he really think that he could start spouting nonsense just because he had heard something from Kane?"Give me another chance? You've got the nerve! Although Nora's just one of my toys, I absolutely do not allow anyone else to touch her before I'm done playing with her. "But really, I'm surprised that you'd actually give a slut like her five million dollars cash. Is she even worth that much?"Sam had been thoroughly shocked when he saw all the cash at the hotel that day. Sure, he was filthy rich, and five million dollars was just another figure to him. But that was the first time he had seen it in cash form."I've already told you that it was a misunderstanding. I gave her five million dollars in exchange for some information. Can we end things here now?" Felix sighed.Sam wa

Felix was also taken aback to hear the news. Thinking back, he had only met the Oasis Clinic chief just a while ago. He was honest and looked like he would do well in business and managing money. How could he just die in the blink of an eye?"Did he die of an illness or other causes?" Felix asked.If someone had poisoned him, that meant the rebellion in Dragon Alliance was so serious that they would dare to kill the chief. It was evident that they were unscrupulous with their ways now.Kane shook his head."I don't know. Mr. Zeller, the vice leader wants me to go over at once. I think he needs me to stand in as the temporary chief."In Dragon Alliance, it was challenging for someone to be promoted from a regular member to a deputy chief, let alone be promoted to chief from deputy chief.Kane knew he shouldn't be the next in line between himself and the other deputy chief. Maybe it was because the news that the Dragon Lord had returned had already spread among the rest of the me

The question came from a bald man who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock. He looked as if he didn't take Felix, a Grandmaster, seriously at all. Everyone in the crowd, including Felix, turned to look at him."May I ask why?"The bald man sneered. "What do Malevolent Phantoms in the capital have to do with me?"Felix nodded, showing no anger. "Alright. Then, let me ask you. Is Martial City located in Dragonia?" The bald man, Christian Perez, seemed to know what Felix was about to say. He answered, "Yes.""So, the people in Martial City have Dragonian blood in their veins, right?""That's right."Christian had the unique energy of a Transcendent master. Just from his expression and eyes, it was clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with."If a nuclear bomb fell on Martial City, would you die?"Christian was about to answer but hesitated. "I… It's not likely, but there's a high probability I'll die."Nuclear bombs were terrifying, and Martial City wasn't completely out

At the foot of Trirock Mountain, a densely packed crowd gathered around. There was double the number of people gathered here compared to when Felix was refining pills during the assessment. Everyone was waiting and talking among themselves. They were all wondering what Felix was going to do. Logically, everyone couldn't be here at the same time. Yet, it happened.After Felix touched the statue, he could control the spell around Martial City. He could also feel the energies of the citizens and where they were. The three elders of the Celestial Hall had been asked to capture the hiding citizens. No one could escape."Being a Grandmaster is truly amazing! I was still caught despite hiding in a well-hidden place.""Ugh, don't even mention it! I buried myself underground, yet they dug me out!"Several martial artists were helpless as they chatted among themselves. They hadn't seen Felix but had already experienced the power of a Grandmaster. All of a sudden, a figure appeared above

Cordelia took out a small piece of paper from her pocket. A painting revealed itself as she unfolded the paper.The man in the painting was handsome and strong. His eyes, in particular, were authoritative. Even though it was a painting, no one dared to meet his gaze. For some reason, Felix felt like this man seemed familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Is this him?"Cordelia nodded. "Yes, this is a painting the royal family has kept for generations. Whether he has changed or aged at all isn't clear. We call him the Ancient Sage."The Ancient Sage? Felix questioned, "Is he stronger than a Grandmaster?" A mix of emotions flashed in Cordelia's eyes. "Most probably. After Yusri became Grandmaster, he claimed to be the strongest in the world. However, one day, he went to an unknown place for a few days."When he came back, he claimed that he was no longer the strongest in the world. The rest of us had guessed that he met the Ancient Sage."Felix thought about how Corde

The only people Felix could bow to were Deborah and Cordelia. The two women were sobbing uncontrollably. Deborah truly doted on him, treating him like her own grandson. Meanwhile, Cordelia didn't need any explanation. She had been feeling guilty toward Felix for decades. She had never even dared dream of being forgiven, let alone attending his wedding as his mother. Now that she was, the feeling was indescribable.After curtsying to their parents, the two of them entered the bridal chamber. When Felix lifted Nerissa's veil, he felt amazed despite having seen her many times."You're so beautiful, Nerissa."She was flushed red from shyness. Nerissa had imagined countless times what her fiancé would be like—but she never would've thought that he would be this excellent. Many years ago, Westley had told her that a person who held on to their principles and persistence would eventually be blessed. Just as Felix was about to say something, Nerissa had already pushed him down on the

Standing in front of Felix was a statue about 16 feet tall, a bright smile on its face. Although it was gray, it didn't take away from the exquisite and detailed carving. But Felix couldn't hold himself back and walked right up to it because it looked exactly like Billy. "Could this be Billy's ancestor?" Felix rubbed his chin in puzzlement, not wanting to think about it any longer. He touched it directly with his right hand, as if there was something calling to him within the statue.However, his lack of fear was due to his invincible strength in Martial City. He touched it without hesitation or fear of danger.After a few seconds, Felix smiled. "Seems like this statue is the core of the spell hiding Martial City."Now, he could enter and exit the city freely without a token. He could also open and close the spell at any time—everything was under his control.As soon as he stopped touching the statue, the statue began to vibrate. Then, it sank into the ground and disappeared.

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
