"Why didn't you say so earlier? The act was killing me! Come on, let's drink. Whoever stays sober is a loser!" Vanessa said joyfully.Jack threw up his hands. "Man, I actually liked the sweet act. Felix just had to ruin it with one sentence." The next thing he knew, Vanessa pinched his ear. "Oh yeah? Love the cutesy voice, do you? Wait till we get home. I'll talk like that all night long. You'll get your fill, I promise!" Felix could not help but grin. Vanessa was quite the firecracker. Two hours later, Jack was carrying a passed-out Vanessa as he glared at Felix. "Damn it, man. Couldn't you have slowed her drinking down? So much for setting the mood tonight." Felix ignored him and made a gesture. Vivian appeared, handing over a tablet. Jack was already used to seeing all the beauties around Felix. "Thanks." Vivian turned away with a heavy heart. Who knew when she would see him again? "It's my first time meeting her, so I wasn't sure what to get her. Give her this when she

The Longman family? Felix chuckled. He had been planning to check out the Longman family today anyway. Vivian's investigation had linked them to the troublemakers who had staged that scene and filmed it. But Gerald's call about the Miracle Card call had pushed those plans back since he had to go to Canraville tomorrow. Dora's request really came at a perfect time. "That smile of yours gives me the creeps for some reason," Dora remarked.Felix did not reply to that. He just gazed out the window. This visit would definitely smoke out whoever was pulling the strings. It would be one less headache to deal with. …Franklin and a few others were standing at the Longman residence, waiting. "Mr. Zeller," Franklin greeted Felix with the utmost respect. The others were probably Longman family members. "Dora, where's the master healer?" someone asked while peering into the empty car. "This is Felix Zeller, the master healer I brought," Dora replied.It was a gamble. It seemed unlik

"I've paid back Dora's favor, so I'll now settle accounts with the Longman family," Felix suddenly said.The celebration died instantly at Felix's words. "Felix, what are you doing?" Dora was confused. Franklin stood there sweating as well. "Nothing much. I don't start fights, but I finish them. Joseph, someone from your family has been orchestrating schemes against me. They hired thugs to harass me while others filmed from the shadows. Do you want to handle this yourself, or should I start digging? It's up to you." In the past, anyone who dared talk to Joseph like this would have been crushed. But things were different now. After all, Felix had just casually treated an illness that had stumped Xander. His connections and power had to be terrifying. Even a hardened player like Joseph knew when to back down. "Mr. Zeller, give me some time to deal with this. If someone from my family has schemed against you, I'll send them over to you myself." Felix smiled slightly. Joseph had

Around six in the evening, Felix was sitting in his courtyard when Kane walked in. "What brings you here?" Felix asked.Kane's expression showed the same respect as always. Just like Vivian, Felix was the only Dragon Lord in his eyes and no one else. "Mr. Zeller, since you finally gave me a task, I had to report back personally." That was true. After Vivian left, Kane was Felix's go-to person for intel. But he had not expected Kane to show up in person. "I appreciate it. Have a seat." Once he sat down, Kane got straight to it. "You told me to look into that guy Jaden. Turns out he's quite the player. He's the youngest elder in Crimson Sage Sect's history. His mentor is one of their sect's Supreme Elders too, and he's actually the oldest and strongest amongst them." Crimson Sage Sect? Felix was unfazed. "So he's got an ancient mentor backing him. That'll be a bit of a hassle." By hassle, Felix meant time-wasting instead of fear. Even Kane could read that much. "How do you rat

Vanessa's expression lit up when she saw Felix. "You came at the right time, Felix! My car broke down. I just got off the phone with Jack when you showed up." Her car broke down? Felix then asked, "Are you heading back to Canraville?" "Yeah, it's my nephew's birthday tonight. What about you?" "I'm driving there too." In typical Vanessa fashion, she did not hesitate to ask for his help. "Perfect! Why don't you give me a ride? I'll tell Jack to send someone for the car. It'll save me a ton of time." "Sure." On the road, Vanessa kept studying Felix till he got uncomfortable. "Is there something on my face?" She shook her head and turned serious. "Do you know how precious that martial arts scripture you gave me is?" Felix smiled. "It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as you like it." Vanessa continued, "So you did spot that I'm a martial artist. That's impressive. It's wild that a regular guy like Jack has someone like you for a friend. "But honestly, thank you. That

Something felt off at this point. Before Felix could speak, all hell broke loose. Boom!All four doors of the Raptor exploded outward, with windows shattering everywhere. Baldo went flying through the windshield to somewhere about 50 feet away. Only then did he manage to land steadily. Even with blood trickling from his mouth, he wore a sinister grin. "Haha! It seems you're both a master healer and a martial artist, just like the miracle doctor." Felix stepped out, studying Baldo. That hit was not weak, yet Baldo only had minor injuries. He had to be a Martial Emperor, at least. "Did you use a Miracle Card just to try and kill Mr. Hoffman? I'm impressed by your audacity and your stupidity," Felix sneered.Baldo licked the blood from his lips as his grin widened. "Nope! Who'd dare target the miracle doctor? You're his disciple, so we knew you'd come instead. Get it?" Oh? Felix's eyes showed contempt. "But you're not in my league either." A breeze whispered through, and sud

"Nice talk. Let's see if you can walk away alive today!" Vilebane snarled.The one who could strike first would certainly gain the upper hand. Having sensed Vilebane's power, Felix was not about to wait around. He thrust both hands skyward as his energy surged. The clear sky instantly darkened with storm clouds.The sight of that astounded Baldo, who was hiding in a nearby building. "Damn! He must've started training in the womb. Just his opening move could kill me ten thousand times over!" Boom!Thunder rolled as five massive lightning bolts crashed down, each thick as pillars. It was a terrifying scene to behold. "Five Thunders Strike!" This was Felix's strongest move. Before this, no one had warranted using it until he met Vilebane. The thunderous impacts carved a massive crater in the ground. "Not bad, kid!" To Felix's horror, Vilebane's voice cut through the chaos. Felix instinctively leaped back. Vilebane appeared before him almost immediately with his fist stuck out.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 325
In Dragonia, martial arts had ancient roots. The modern ranking was simple. Anyone below a Martial King was just called a martial artist. Only those who were Martial Kings or above would be respected in those circles.Above Martial King were levels most could only dream of. For example, there was a Martial Emperor, a Martial God, and a Martial Saint. Felix was now a martial artist who had achieved the level of a Martial Saint. Most old-timers died without being able to reach that level. To achieve it so young, Felix had to be even better than a prodigy to make it possible. So Baldo became utterly excited watching Felix drag himself from the rubble. As he was just a Martial Emperor, the chance to rough up a Martial Saint, who was also a genius, had him shaking with excitement. "I'll take my time with you!" Baldo moved in as he switched from fist to palm. First, he wanted to slap Felix, as nothing could be more disrespectful than that. "Know your place!" Felix roared. As his foo

As Felix's hand touched the piece, it felt like it was being sucked in. In an instant, the chess piece became as heavy as a mountain and was impossible to move. What was more terrifying was that Felix felt something inside him being drawn into the chess piece. It was his soul energy! The chess piece was actually absorbing his soul energy, which was something unheard of. Looking at Bonnie, she was caressing her pale neck, her expression one of extreme pleasure. She even let out moans. "So there is something wrong here. You're actually trying to absorb my soul energy! How dare you!" Felix activated the Phaeron Codex. All restraints instantly vanished as he placed the red piece where the red light glowed. "Huh?" Bonnie, who had expected to enjoy the sensation much longer, was stunned that Felix had broken free so quickly. Her reaction was delayed because of that, and she hurriedly placed her piece after regaining her composure. After that, Bonnie's expression soured. Felix w

The woman had big wavy curls and wore a white mini-skirt. She was beautiful, especially those large eyes that seemed designed to entice with every glance. Felix asked, "Do I know you?" She propped her legs up on the table without crossing them, just laying them flat. She was wearing a mini-skirt, and Felix was sitting directly across from her. From this angle, she was showing off everything possible, but she did not seem to care at all. "You can call me Bonnie Wildmare. I'm also one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians." The Eight Guardians! Felix tensed up. He never would have guessed that a woman like this worked for the Ancient Sage. "Ashton insisted I tag along in case something unexpected happened. He was worried he couldn't handle you alone, and it turned out he was right—you had such a powerful fighter by your side. Hehe, Ashton's in for some trouble this time." Since she was one of the Eight Guardians and Ashton had called her, Felix was surprised but not afraid. "

That made sense. A Malevolent Phantom's body was not nearly as fragile as a normal human's. While Felix and Karina could make them explode with minimal effort, weaker martial artists would find it extremely challenging. "I finally get a chance to relax in the park, and this thing tries to kill me. Hmph! Talk about ruining my mood," Karina huffed.Felix was speechless. What was this Phantom thinking? Of all people to pick a fight with, it chose Karina? "What brings you to Kashmere, Karina?" he asked.Karina suddenly felt a flush on her face. She turned away and asked, "Since when do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" Felix knew better than to push the question. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Now that Phantoms have appeared, hasn't Mr. Hoffman asked you all to learn soul-reading techniques?" Among his nine fellow apprentices, only Naomi had trained in soul-related abilities. The others had not. "No. Mr. Hoffman made it clear long ago that we shouldn't learn oth

The flute's melody carried a murderous intent. This could only mean one thing—Karina was locked in battle with someone. This kind of flute sound was inaudible to ordinary people. Only those with significant power could hear it. Felix did not hesitate for a second. After a quick warning to Laura, he bolted out the car door. In a nearby park dense with greenery, Felix had barely arrived when he heard a voice. "Who's there?" Felix could only laugh. Despite being a Grandmaster with his essence concealed to perfection, Karina had still detected him. "It's me, Karina." Karina stood there holding her flute, clearly surprised. "Felix? What are you doing here?" Before he could answer, Felix looked toward a spot where a man's head was swinging back and forth, laughing with a sinister edge. "Hehehe, you think you can kill me like that? Keep dreaming!" As the head spoke, a body grew beneath it, taking the form of a full-grown man. Without a word, Karina played her flute again. The

Based on the essence fluctuations, they were probably an Aetherial Realm martial artist. The fact that they could kill a C-tier Malevolent Phantom shows they'd made real progress with soul techniques. "What a waste of talent, throwing themselves away like this," Felix muttered.Felix had a bad feeling. Was this a test run, or did they actually think this creature could take down a Grandmaster like him?He pulled out his phone and called Xena. "Did Elliott's experimental data get leaked?"Xena's response was firm. "Impossible! That data is extremely valuable, and the headquarters considers it top secret. It's classified beyond even us warlords' clearance, so there's no way it leaked."If it hadn't leaked, what was going on? The helmet, the C-tier Malevolent Phantom—everything pointed to Westorio Order's research. Had some other accident happened without their knowledge?"I'm sending you an address. Get people here as soon as you can to clean up and identify the bodies.""On it."

There was a woman standing in front of the car despite the downpour. What gave Laura the creeps was the woman's bright red dress and matching red umbrella. Her face wore a smile that spread an eerie atmosphere around her."Should we go around her, Felix?"The rain was coming down so hard that no other cars were visible on this stretch of road. Laura figured the woman might have some mental issues."I'll go check it out."Upon hearing this, Laura considered another possibility. "Could it be a Malevolent Phantom?"If so, Laura needed to stay alert. This would be her first encounter with one. Even if she wasn't qualified to fight, she could at least observe carefully."Not sure." Felix thought there could only be two explanations for the current situation. Either this woman was mentally disturbed, or she was indeed a Malevolent Phantom. The heavy rain and lack of surveillance cameras made this an ideal spot for murder, though the location was somewhat unexpected. As Felix steppe

Barry asked, "So Felix, have you faced those Malevolent Phantoms yet?" Felix nodded. "Yeah. They're not as scary as you might think. The first time is rough, but it gets easier. That said, the powerful ones are really terrifying." Upon hearing these words from someone like Felix, Barry felt a chill. After all, Felix's power was already off the charts in everyone's eyes. Good times always flew by, and the days of rest vanished in a blink. At ten in the morning, Felix stood at Newtown's airport. "Stop acting like we're saying our final goodbyes. You two are something else." Cordelia wiped away tears, giving Deborah the same reproachful look. "You can't imagine how much a mother would shed tears for her son. I'm just making up for lost time." Deborah was speechless, though secretly excited. After years of hard work, she could finally relax without worry. "Hey, what a coincidence! Are you guys heading out too? Where?" Bern and his daughter Natalie appeared suddenly, and Ber

"We do!" The crowd roared in unison. Felix's actions today proved they had not made a mistake following him to the capital. Nothing about this felt staged, and they weren't foolish enough to miss that. As the crowd dispersed, Felix remained troubled. He had been blind to something obvious all along—people can be real pieces of work when given the chance. If this situation had continued, wouldn't people have lost faith? Everyone understood that voluntary cooperation would beat forced compliance any day. At least he had stepped in. He had sent a clear message by bringing down the hammer without even sparing the Protector's feelings. Nobody would dare try the same tricks again; making an example of one person was always the most effective way. "Alistair, you all knew about this already, didn't you?" From Alistair's arrival to the prepared evidence against Laurent, Felix could easily connect the dots. "Yes, Lady Summers arranged everything. You know that when the Protector is

"Felix, this young man is a descendant of an old friend of mine. He's been spoiled rotten and doesn't know when to shut up. Please don't take him seriously." Felix watched Laurent, who still looked defiant despite being slapped. Now he understood the arrogance—this man had connections to the Protector. "Let me ask you, sir. What's more important—your feelings for an old friend, or the fate of our nation? I don't understand why such an important place as Newtown would be handed to this triple-threat of incompetence. "He has weak powers, zero emotional intelligence, and not a brain cell to spare. Have you turned foolish too?" Already fuming, Laurent roared, "Felix Zeller! How dare you lecture the Protector himself? This is treason! Arrest him now!" Laurent's men just looked at each other awkwardly. Arrest him? With what, their mouths? Come on, everyone knew how powerful Felix was. Did this idiot even have a functioning brain? The Protector did not seem angry at all. He just l
