The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 229
Gabriel's words caught Zachary's attention. Zachary scoffed. "What a joke! A cripple with a big mouth. I wasn't raised to be scared of a guy like you."He took a drag from his cigarette and waved his hand dismissively. "Take out his other leg. Maybe then he'll understand the kind of attitude he should have when talking to me."Even Felix found Gabriel's claim about Xena a bit exaggerated, like he was just trying to scare them off. As one of Zachary's henchmen stepped forward to carry out the order, Felix moved in front of Gabriel. "This is a transaction, not an extortion. You're free to leave if you don't want to buy. There's no need for violence."Without waiting for Zachary's order, the man threw a punch at Felix. They were used to bullying others with Zachary, and anyone who dared to stand up to them had to be ready to face the consequences.A dull thud echoed through the room. Felix stood unharmed, while the attacker flew out the door, landing heavily on the ground. He tw

Felix knew he had to go through official channels to avoid unnecessary trouble. The morgue seemed like the best option, as there might be people willing to sell deceased bodies for the right price.Gabriel was stunned. He could not believe Felix had actually taken him seriously. "Are you making fun of me?"Felix shook his head. "The Veilflower is extremely important to me. I wouldn't joke about this, especially concerning your ability to move freely again."His medical skills made this possible, though it would be difficult and take considerable time. However, he was confident in his success rate."Get out!" Gabriel snapped, enraged despite Felix's serious expression. He grabbed another bottle of liquor from the table and started drinking."I'll go prepare now and come back before noon tomorrow. I promise you'll be back to normal," Felix assured him.Gabriel's face showed nothing but contempt. He could not be bothered to say anything more. He had consulted several master healers

If Zachary and Dora were still here, they would definitely be grateful for their early departure. Because if Gabriel wasn't lying, the person approaching now was Hector Downy, the Warlord of the East. Who would dare provoke him seeing that he was one of the top figures of Dragonia?Even Felix narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "The Warlord of the East?"Gabriel heard Felix, but he didn't have time to worry about the latter. He had already given him plenty of chances earlier. It was up to the warlord to decide how to handle things, which was beyond Gabriel's control.Hector stopped in his tracks. He was middle-aged, with a presence that made the air seem to go still, even though he wasn't intentionally exerting any pressure. His gaze was deep and intense, making the atmosphere tenser."Gabriel, what crime have you committed?"Gabriel didn't dare lift his head."I failed my mission. All my teammates perished, and only I managed to survive. That is my crime!"His sorrow was e

"Refreshing!" Inside a room, Hector and Felix had downed half a bottle of liquor in one go, and the smile on Hector's face grew even wider."It's always the best to drink with you, young man."Felix hadn't expected that the Veilflower Gabriel found was meant for the one and only Warlord of the East. He knew him because of Gerald. He'd met him more than once before. What left Felix speechless was how Gerald casually called him "Hector", as if his prestigious title meant nothing in Gerald's eyes.However, Felix couldn't do the same. He had to show respect by calling him "Mr. Downy". After all, the man was a hero who protected the nation.After hearing Felix's story, Hector furrowed his brows. "Do you need the Veilflower, too? That's going to be tough."The fact that even he found it difficult showed that the other person needing the Veilflower was equally important."Mr. Downy, about that old war hero you mentioned, did he fall ill?" Felix asked.Hector shook his head. "No

In the courtyard of Kane's estate, Stinger was tied to a large tree. His upper body was bare, while a whip lashed across his skin, leaving bloody marks one after another. Yet, Stinger refused to make a sound. Not far away, a middle-aged man sat in a grand armchair with his feet propped on the seat, his expression full of disdain. "Killing someone like Hunter is one thing. You can do that as you please. However, Stinger, what you should never have done is disrespect Lord Jamison."When the whipping stopped, Stinger glared fiercely."Skyler, cut the crap and stop pretending to be the good guy! Even if I didn't look down on Harold, do you think he wouldn't have come after me? When Lord Kane was around, you acted like a lackey. Are you acting so tough now just because you've found a new person to support you?"The middle-aged man, Skyler Stevens, chuckled."Let me tell you something. Lord Jamison is taking over Avesburgh's underground scene. It's not because Lord Kane's gone, but b

"Mr. Zeller, I'm sorry. I'm so useless!" Kneeling on the ground, Stinger looked up at Felix. Felix raised a hand. "You are indeed useless, but taking over a city's underground forces isn't something you can achieve with manpower and ruthlessness alone. You need a powerful person to back you up!"How did Kane manage it? It was all because he held the position of the deputy chief in Dragon Alliance, allowing him to act decisively without overthinking. "Now that things have reached this point, go ahead and do what you need to. I'll be your backer and back you up!"Since he was already involved, Felix wasn't interested in stepping back. People like Stinger could be quite useful in certain situations. Hearing this, Stinger became ecstatic. His hesitation and fear stemmed from lacking strong support. With Kane gone, he couldn't keep relying on him. It would be far too cowardly. With Felix's support, he could finally act without restraint. "Lord Jamison said he'll be here in half an

Faced with such a request, Stinger dared not object. Everything was up to Felix. After all, he would've been dead if Felix hadn't come to his rescue, leaving him no grounds to negotiate."We were having a perfectly good conversation about business. Why bring up my mom?" Although Felix was silent, his stern gaze made his intentions clear. Harold shrugged. "I have no idea where my mom is. How could I tell you?" Felix stepped forward and slapped Harold across the face. "Your mother's life is in danger. Despite being her son, you don't care. You're not worried, and you don't even try to find her. How can you accept the things your enemy gives you? What a man you are!" Harold's expression turned dark as his hands clenched for a moment, but he forced a smile. "A smart person knows when to adapt to the situation. "Do you think everyone is as headstrong as you? Do you think everyone loves to fight against something they can't win, just to prove a point?"From the moment Harold wa

Just as Felix straightened up, the roar of engines erupted outside, and two military-green vehicles stopped at the gate. Zachary furrowed his brows, as anyone could tell that these were exclusive vehicles of the Phoenix Legion. However, he wondered why the Phoenix Legion had come. That was a question worth pondering.The car doors swung open, and Belle stormed out first, flanked by several armed soldiers."You are suspected of murder and assault, Felix Zeller. You are required to assist in the investigation." Zachary quickly stood up, pulling the elderly man along as he headed outside. With the Phoenix Legion involved, there was no way he could continue to trouble Felix. If he were to fall into their hands, even his father would have no way to rescue him. "You must be quite the arrogant guy, Felix," Zachary thought. "Even the Phoenix Legion is stirred up. It's a pity I can't kill you myself."Unbothered by Zachary's departure, Belle kept her gaze fixed on Felix. "Are you don

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
