The note read, "I challenge you on behalf of the Elders' Council. On the night of the full moon, atop Eastern Mountain. I will await you!"Beneath that, the note was signed with the name "Solomon Gill".Looking at those words on the note, Felix felt somewhat baffled."Felix, I'm so sorry… I've let you down." Vivian apologized repeatedly, disregarding her own injuries. It was her first major task since becoming Dragon Lord, and it had ended in failure. She felt terrible for this setback."Don't take it to heart. This Solomon is at least at the level of a Martial Saint. It makes sense you couldn't match him," Felix said dismissively.The enemy had managed to injure Vivian and all the Dragon Alliance guards without even being seen. That said enough about his capability. Felix had reacted quickly, but by the time he came out, the person was gone."Have you ever heard of the Elders' Council?" he asked.Vivian shook her head. "No, and as far as I know, there's no such organization in

After the call ended, Felix feasted on the food. He was hungry after a long day."Why aren't you eating?" he asked, noticing that Xena was watching him with a hint of unease."I'm not hungry. I only ordered the food to go along with the act. I didn't think you'd actually eat it," Xena replied."Of course. Why waste it?" Felix said, unfazed.He wiped his mouth as if he was about to leave, but then Xena spoke up again. "My uncle, Perry, is dead. He committed suicide."Felix's expression remained calm. "And?"Her grief and anger erupted in that moment. "Are you even human? You know why he killed himself, don't you? Don't pretend you don't! Are you really going to say Ted's death had nothing to do with you?"It was clear her sadness was genuine, welling up from deep inside."First, I had nothing to do with Ted's death. Second, Perry's suicide has nothing to do with me, either. Finally, have you spent even a moment considering what Ted might have done to provoke me? "Are you truly

This was the first time Felix had ever heard Yvonne sound so distressed. His emotions were stirred by her sobbing."What happened? Tell me!" he shouted."There's an outbreak of some unknown illness at an orphanage in Canraville. Can you go there? Those poor kids are suffering terribly," Yvonne explained.An orphanage? Felix didn't need to ask why or how this was connected to Yvonne. He only knew that these children, who had already had an unfortunate life, were now enduring physical torment as well. It was too heartbreaking."I'm on my way now.""Thank you, Felix. Lady Nala and I just arrived in Yartford, but we're taking a flight right back to Canraville. Besides you, Lady Nala has used her connections to gather every available doctor in the area."Nala was involved in this? Felix didn't ask further questions. He hailed a taxi and went to the address Yvonne had given him.Shortly after getting off, Felix received a call from Larry's younger brother, Luis. Felix briefly explaine

Upon entering, Felix found himself in a children's bedroom. The spacious room contained over a dozen beds with children, though only three people were present to tend to them. One was an elderly man who had to be Brandon, alongside Zara, whom Felix already knew. The third was a young man who must have been Brandon's disciple. If not, he would not have been permitted to be here. "Felix!" Zara's eyes brightened upon seeing his arrival, but her excitement was restrained. After all, Brandon was present. While Felix's medical skills were impressive, they could not compare to Brandon, Dragonia's third-best master healer. "How are things?" Felix asked.Zara's eyes reddened as she watched a child thrashing against their restraints, clearly in agony. "Not good. I can't identify the illness. It's up to Dr. Quinn now." At another bedside, Brandon frowned as he removed a silver needle. While assisting him, Gale immediately turned to scold them, "Quiet! Get out if you can't keep silent. Ca
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 377
With Brandon's words hanging in the air, Gale, who already could not stand Felix, immediately pointed at him. "Did you hear that? Get out if you're not going to help! You should know your place in traditional medicine. You can't just rise to the top on empty praise." Though he had initially just been ensuring Brandon could work in peace, Zara's praise of Felix had sparked his jealousy, regardless of its truth. Ignoring Gale's provocations, Felix watched Brandon, who had returned to examining his silver needle. He asked seriously, "Dr. Quinn, have you heard of the Bloom Seeds?" What? Brandon shot up and trembled. "That's it! I knew it reminded me of something but couldn't place it. Yes, it must be the Bloom Seeds!" Zara quickly asked, "What are the Bloom Seeds?" Someone else answered her, "The Bloom Seeds are the signature technique of Sonny Balcom, who's ranked 12th among the Thirteen Aces and Dragonia's Super S-rank wanted criminals. "As the Circle of Hearts, he could inje

Gale thought, "Hmph! Keep boasting, kid. Everyone wants to show off! When you fail, I'll make sure you'll regret being alive!" Gale remained convinced that someone just a few years older than him couldn't possibly achieve such a miracle. Xena was also shaken up and feeling equally skeptical. "Felix, you need to understand that this—" Before she could finish, Felix cut her off with a cold stare. "Instead of questioning me, bring some men over and guard outside! Who's the doctor here—you or me?" Xena trembled with anger. Given her status and the fact that she would soon be promoted to Warlady, even Brandon had shown her deference upon seeing her again. Yet, Felix dared to speak to her so rudely in front of everyone. "Saving lives takes priority. Your name is Felix, correct?" Regardless of others' opinions, Brandon only cared about freeing these children from the Bloom Seeds as a master healer. "Yes. I assume you know the Pierce of Trinity technique?" Felix replied."I do. I'

Brandon felt conflicted. Silas' medical skills far surpassed his own. Though they were only one rank apart, he knew the true gap between them. Compared to Felix, Silas would certainly be the safer choice. Brandon had only agreed to help Felix due to the urgent situation. But things could be different now with a better option available. Xena shared this thinking, which gave her the courage to speak out. "Felix, I know you wouldn't joke about something like this, but Dr. Grayson's skills are legendary, and you know it. For these children's safety, don't let pride cloud your judgment." Gale seized the opportunity to say, "Exactly! Even Dr. Quinn acknowledges Dr. Grayson's superior skills. It's best to wait for him to arrive." He thought, "Hmph! You got lucky, kid. If Dr. Quinn wasn't involved, I wouldn't even bother speaking up." He worried that if anything happened to these children, his mentor would be the one to bear the brunt of criticism, while Felix would face minimal cons

Gale watched with a strange expression. In traditional medicine, needles had no effect outside of acupoints. Every practitioner knew this basic fact. And yet, Brandon's jaw dropped. "The Five Points of Ascension?" Brandon asked in astonishment.Both Zara and Gale were astounded. Of course, they knew of the Five Points of Ascension. Certain acupuncture techniques stood supreme in Dragonia's 5000 years of medical history. While the Pierce of Trinity would intimidate most practitioners, the Five Points of Ascension were even more formidable. Even Brandon had not mastered it, yet here Felix was, performing them. The shock was beyond words. Splat!Within five seconds, the little girl turned her head and spat out a blood clot the size of a fingernail. Brandon's three silver needles then flew out, followed by gushing blood. "Zara!" Felix's shout snapped Zara to attention, and she rushed to stop the bleeding. As they moved on to the next child, Brandon's perception of Felix had c

Wagner and his accomplices were terrified, tremors coursing through their bodies. "No, no, please! I didn't know it was you, Mr. Longstone! Give me one more chance, please!"As one of the most powerful men in the city, Gras was someone who would put his money where his mouth was. He could kill them all, and their families wouldn't even dare to utter a single word."I know your father, so I'll give you a chance," Gras said.Only then did Wagner start recovering from his shock, breathing a sigh of relief. He wondered why Gras would come to such a small village, though.Meanwhile, Gras turned to Felix. "You're Dr. Zeller from Innswood Village, aren't you?""Yes, it's me," Felix replied politely. Gras smiled. "I've looked at Kathlynn's injuries, and I could see that you're as skilled as they say. It so happens that I need an experienced doctor in my residence. Would you be willing to work there?"Wagner was speechless. Now he knew why Gras would make the journey here—he had set his

Felix looked at their expressions that were devoid of shame. He'd figured, long ago, that these people might not abide by the three-month-long agreement. As expected, their real intentions began to bleed out by the beginning of the second month. "What if I refuse to do as you say, then? Kathlynn will have to die alongside Innswood Village and me!"Wagner remained unruffled. "Really? Let's go. I'll show you what will happen if you refuse."They returned to the city, only to learn that Felix had told them the truth, proved by how the other doctors were helpless against the venom flowing in Kathlynn's veins. They'd also ascertained the effectiveness of that medicinal powder, which they were unfortunately incapable of making. If the powder hadn't been applied on Kathlynn's body, the venom would have begun to spread through her body eventually.Wagner had never been subjected to such humiliation, though. When it was time to collect the medicine this month, he took on the task. He'd

One of the old men smiled and brought out a half-palm-sized wooden card. He handed it to Felix. "This is our association's identification card. It's custom-made. You see this small hole? There's a bug inside of it."Felix inspected it carefully and found a small hole. He wasn't sure what the bug did, however."When you're in danger, or when someone forces a body check, just break the card, and it'll turn to dust. At the same time, your closest ally will sense it, and the bug will come out of its hole. It'll find your ally and guide them to you."How magical! Felix was quite impressed. There were no phones here, but they had found ways to send information. "We have some queen bugs on our hands. The queen bugs can sense all of the bugs, and when there's a mission, we'll reach out to you. You can live your own life for now."How amazing! A lot of thought had clearly been put into this."There's also one more situation when the bug might come out. When an ally is within 30 feet, it'

Although Leandre was still a member of The Recovery Association, he lost his strength in the battle all those years ago. Thus, he was no different than just an old man now. Besides, this time, it wasn't just about himself. It was about protecting Innswood Village. He didn't want to cause any trouble here. So, he was utterly helpless with Felix's request."Since you're recommending me to join The Recovery Association, once I'm in, won't I be able to use their influence to help?"Leandre's eyes lit up. Felix was right. He wasn't an ordinary person! He was not only a doctor but also a martial artist. The Recovery Association would hold him on a pedestal, and it would be understandable for them to help him."Alright, then. I'll contact them and ask them to send someone over!" The world of martial arts wasn't only about fighting and killing but also connections. Sometimes, connections and favors were more important.If Felix had been alone, it wouldn't have mattered. He could just k

Leandre cleared his throat. "Well, yes! I do want you to join The Recovery Association! Regardless of your strength as a fighter, your medical skills alone are extremely useful to us."Don't rush to decide! You can give me your answer once you've made up your mind."Felix stood up and asked, "So, you're one of the survivors from 30 years ago, right?" But without waiting for an answer, Felix left.As soon as he did, Leandre spilled the wine on the ground, falling to his knees. He looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes. "My people… I am utterly useless, and this is all I can do now… I hope I'll be able to enjoy the moonlight again in this lifetime."After returning to the clinic, Felix began to think about how to save Innswood Village. With his strength, he could definitely kill someone like Wagner in just a few days. However, it would be too obvious.If the fighters die, wouldn't their families investigate? However, Aquamarinus wasn't as restricted by laws as Earth. As l

Felix stayed quiet for a while. In fact, he had been extremely restless for a while now, but he didn't dare to show it. Finally, he let out a laugh."If you dare tell me, of course, I would listen. In fact, when I lost my memories in the forest, it had something to do with Nine Flames. But my story should be kept a secret."A sharp glint flashed in Leandre's eyes. He clinked their glasses again and said, "In fact, when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, Aquamarinus was still peaceful, and there were no Desolated Lands at all."Huh? Felix was shocked. This was truly a startling secret. It was something that could get someone killed."When the Flame Monarch came, so did Desolated Lands. But the current history books say the complete opposite. Instead, it says that Desolated Lands were spreading, and when the Flame Monarch appeared with Nine Flames, it gave Aquamarinus peace."Memories seemed to flash by in Leandre's eyes. "Back then, people could come and go freely on Aqua

At this time, Felix finally went to Quinley's house. The funeral hall had been set up, and the villagers were watching. With his arrival, everyone quickly made way for him.Perhaps it had already been explained, but no one showed hatred to Felix for what he did, nor did they worry Wagner and his companions might come back for revenge."Dr. Zeller! Thank you… Thank you for getting justice for my Quinley!" Her parents rushed to greet him, falling to their knees and thanking Felix. Their only remaining son followed behind.However, only Lincoln was left beside the corpse, mourning like he had lost his soul. "Please, get up. My deepest condolences," Felix replied gently.After lighting up a few candles for Quinley, Felix, who was about to leave, told Lincoln softly, "Come to me when you feel better."When he arrived at Leandre's house, there was a bottle of wine on the table along with two side dishes. "Quinley's family is going to move to town. With the hundred silver coins, they

A secret? Felix watched Leandre leave after speaking. That meant that it wasn't the time yet. Of course, Felix didn't expect anything much. Although he could see that Leandre wasn't as simple as he seemed, Leandre had been in Innswood Village for so many years.How powerful could he be?…As the sun rose, so did Kathlynn. Wagner was extremely happy. "Kathlynn! You're finally awake!"After Kathlynn shook herself awake, she looked down at her body, confused. She felt around and muttered, "I'm… I'm completely healed? I can only feel a slight ache now… What happened?"The last thing she remembered was the moment she was attacked. The injury was so horrible that she couldn't forget the feeling. She thought she was a goner for sure."We got lucky. We found a doctor in Innswood Village, and he saved you."A doctor? She followed Wagner's finger and was surprised. A doctor from a village could actually help her?As she thought of this, she stood up and said, "Thank you for saving me

Wagner glared at Felix, gritting his teeth. "You'd better help her! Otherwise, you know what will happen!"Felix showed no expression as he said, "I'm a doctor. If I say I can do it, I definitely can help her."Wagner took a deep breath, and he felt something he had never felt before—humiliation. "What must he do?""Tell him to follow Mr. Campbell. He shall kneel and pray before Quinley's body before compensating her family with 100 silver coins!"The rough man almost fainted when he heard the request. "Kneel and pray? How dare you ask me to do that?"Him, a fighter, kneeling to a mere villager? How could he withstand such humiliation? Even Wagner was furious by this request. He looked at Kathlynn lying on the bed and held back."Follow the chief and do as you're told!" Wagner barked.The rough man wanted to argue, but Wagner clenched his fists and said angrily, "Was I not clear, or are you deaf?"Hearing this, the man could only glare at Felix angrily before following the he
