The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 654
"Kill him!" Now that the battle had started, there was no more need for words. Just as the eight warriors were about to attack in unison, the three Pulse Realm masters suddenly turned pale. They convulsed and coughed blood as they were thrown backward. "Rising Dragon!" Seizing the moment, Felix unleashed his Rising Dragon technique against the three, who were already reeling from his Shadow Strike. "He... He's reached Pulse Realm, too!" The remaining five Oceanus Realm masters gasped as they finally sensed Felix's true power level. How was this possible? Intelligence had reported Felix was at Oceanus Realm, which was shocking enough since they had thought he was still at Aetherial Realm. But now, had he actually advanced from Oceanus to Pulse Realm in just days? It seemed really inhuman of Felix to be able to do that. Throughout history, no martial artist had ever progressed this quickly—not even the greatest prodigies. Three thunderous explosions snapped them back to reali

Felix hung up without a word. He wanted nothing more to do with the Greenes. Though his face remained expressionless, his mind was in a mess. Asher had mentioned that Aiden had reached Innate Realm at just ten years old. After all these years, his power had to be immense. Now that was true genius. It was no wonder that the Greene family held such a unique position in Dragonia. Aiden alone showed how powerful they were.Unless he called on Gerald and his fellow apprentice for help, Felix knew he was not ready to challenge the Greenes. He was not even sure he could match Aiden in combat. With these thoughts weighing on him, Felix drove into Canraville and called Seven. Shortly after he got home, Seven arrived. "Mr. Zeller, does this fit what you want? We crafted it exactly according to your photo." Felix had sent Seven a picture of the Dragonspine and asked him to look for people who could produce a replica. It had to be made with bone, and any animal bone would do. "Yeah, i

Felix sighed to himself. Being popular with the ladies felt more like a burden than a blessing.…In Yartford, Nala was listening to Alfie's report, with Yvonne standing nearby. "Interesting. Felix actually gave his father's heirloom to Aiden Greene. Knowing what kind of person he is, I find it quite hard to believe." Alfie remained silent. He always carried out Nala's orders perfectly, so there was no way he would lie about it. Yvonne felt relieved. She knew how terrifying Aiden was, who also had the mighty Greene family backing him. "Did you find out why Felix is going to Gray City?" Alfie shook his head. "No, but it seems he's planning to stay long-term. He transferred both his villa and car to Jack."Nala could not figure out what made Gray City special. "Miss, perhaps he's leaving Canraville because of his broken relationship with Xena. Gray City might just be a random choice." "Yeah, you're probably right. I can finally make my move now that my biggest competitor i

Alfie and Yvonne gradually came to their senses. Yvonne was still in a daze while Alfie immediately started searching for Lady Nala. "It's true... It's actually true..." Hearing Nala keep repeating those words, Alfied asked quickly, "Miss, are you alright?" He had already guessed what happened. Someone incredibly powerful must have appeared. How else could he have been knocked out instantly? At least Nala seemed unharmed, or he would never forgive himself.Nala glanced at him and shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't ask any questions. Let's pretend this never happened."Though burning with curiosity, Alfie did not dare probe further after she said that. He could only wonder what legendary figure had appeared. It must be someone whose power and status were beyond his imagination.In Gray City, Felix followed a real estate agent through Heavenly Meadow, a residential area in the city center.But now, few wanted to buy houses here despite the prime location. The prices were not chea

"Smart girl," Felix thought with a smile. "Thank you. I'd appreciate that." Moving in would require lots of shopping, and taking cabs would be inconvenient. As they drove off together, two men watched from the office entrance with annoyed looks. "Damn it! That villa listing was supposed to be mine. I can't believe someone actually bought it, and now, this flirt gets the commission." His colleague teased, "That's fate for you! This sale's worth more than several of our regular deals combined. Isn't Nelly usually the reserved type? She's always keeping clients at arm's length, but she's making moves now." "Hah! That's all an act! This Felix guy's young and loaded—who wouldn't fantasize about dating him? If she plays her cards right, she could end up a rich man's wife instead of selling houses. But she stole my meat, so she'll pay for it."Smiling, his colleague stayed silent as he knew the real reason behind his bitterness. He had pursued Nelly before and been rejected. "Wait. Y

"Stop!" Just as the men raised their iron bars to attack Felix, a thunderous shout rang out. It was Clement, who had emerged from his villa fully dressed. He looked like he was about to head out. "Damn it! Who the hell dares to interfere?" The young man snarled as he turned around, but his expression instantly changed. "Mr. Parson?" Clement's face darkened as he pointed at the young man. "Huxley Linton, are you itching for trouble again? Why are you attacking people in broad daylight? Has your father stopped disciplining you?" Hearing their conversation, it was clear they knew each other, and Huxley was afraid of Clement. "Come on, Mr. Parson. It was just a joke to scare him. We weren't really going to hurt him! We're leaving right now."After Huxley left with his men, Felix seized the opportunity to become friendlier with Clement. "Thank you, Mr. Parson. Honestly, I'm completely lost here since I've just arrived in Gray City. I don't even know that young man." Clement conside

Felix frowned as he glanced at Mason before asking, "What exactly do you want?" "Isn't it obvious? I want you to treat my friend. Rosalyn said you're a traditional medicine practitioner. If you're good enough to work with the Ruby family, you must be skilled. My friend's condition isn't critical, but he's my friend, so we can't wait around." If Mason really could not afford to wait around, why would he be in a mood for pizza here? "I'll give you an answer, then. No. I won't go." Mason smiled cruelly and scoffed. "Do you think I won't touch you in public? Or did you think I'm just bluffing because you're a doctor and have powerful connections? "Well, you're wrong. I'm Mason Jacobs, a prodigy of the Eight Great Martial Families. I can crush you effortlessly in every way, so I suggest you wise up." Getting no response as Felix walked away, Mason cracked his neck. "You're the first to dare ignore me ever since I became famous. After midnight, you won't even get a chance to regr

"I have a few questions I'd like to ask you." After Felix said that, the woman, who had gotten close enough to him, gave him a mischievous grin. "Better keep those questions to yourself. You feel paralyzed now, don't you? Don't worry. I just struck some of your acupoints. It'll wear off in two hours! "Consider it a gentle lesson about following pretty girls." Though her movements had been incredibly fast, Felix had been prepared and had noticed them. Even so, he was amazed by her skill. As she started humming and turning to leave, Felix grabbed her arm. "I really do have some questions for you." Her face instantly changed, staring at her arm in disbelief. "Impossible! My acupoint technique can immobilize even Aetherial Realm masters. How can you move?" She realized something alarming—Felix might be at Oceanus Realm. But how could he possibly have achieved it at his age? "Please forgive my rudeness! Have mercy on me. I have elderly parents and children to support!" She bur

In that brief glance, the door slammed shut with a resounding bang. It left Leah and Jean standing there, stunned. Despite the urgency of the moment, they could have easily made it through before the door closed with their abilities. Yet, Kenneth had stopped them from going inside. "Mr. Zandro, why did you stop us?" Kenneth's eyes showed a hint of resignation. "I never expected to encounter the Stellar Hexagram! Remember when you asked why there were seven doors?" The sisters nodded simultaneously. Kenneth sighed. "The extra door is for sacrifice! Very few people can solve the Stellar Hexagram, and I'm one of them. "But whoever solves it must first open the sacrificial door and send someone through. Otherwise, the puzzle remains unsolvable." After a brief silence, Leah said, "But Mr. Zandro, we needed Mr. Willis' strength. Are you sure we should just abandon him?" Jean added, "Exactly. And with his power, what if he goes berserk and starts destroying everything? The whole

Felix was concerned. The traps were already so extreme at the entrance, so he wondered what waited deeper inside. "Run over there! Hurry!" Kenneth and the twins were professionals. When they heard Felix's words, they immediately sprinted forward at full speed. Once all three had reached safety and stopped moving, Felix took a deep breath. He withdrew his hands and shot through the closing gap. A massive sound erupted behind him. Though they hadn't experienced it before, the shockwave alone gave them a taste of the trap's power. "That force was equivalent to an attack from a martial artist who's reached the mastery of Transcendent Realm," Felix said. Hearing this, the sisters turned pale. They'd worked with Kenneth many times but never encountered anything this dangerous. Even royal tombs weren't this terrifying. Most alarming was that this belonged to merely one of Francis' descendants. What would Francis' own tomb be like? No wonder Kenneth had said he wouldn't dare enter

Felix and the others found themselves in a straight corridor with stone walls on both sides and total darkness. With their power, they could see in the dark as clearly as in daylight, so they did not have to bring any flashlights. Felix kept his pace moderate. It was so that everyone could keep up and partly because he still wasn't sure how deadly the tomb's traps might be. "Mr. Willis, turn right after five steps. Trust me on this. The corridor's filled with Quadrant Mist that messes with your vision and senses." The stone wall was clearly visible five steps ahead. But after hearing Kenneth's advice, Felix turned and walked straight toward it. When his body touched the wall, he passed right through it like it wasn't even there.A strange whooshing sound cut through the air. Felix's hand shot up, catching an arrow that had flown at him from nowhere. "This arrow would kill anyone below Transcendent Realm!" His assessment was dead-on, judging by the arrow's power and speed. The

As soon as Kenneth finished speaking, Felix jumped down without hesitation. When it was just the three of them, Kenneth told Leah and Jean through telepathy, "He's one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians with peak Grandmaster Realm power. Drop your little schemes and focus on completing this mission." After his warning, Kenneth jumped down as well. The twin sisters looked at each other helplessly before following. Their earlier display had been intended to show Felix they weren't a bluff—they had real power. They hadn't expected Kenneth to rebuke them for it. In the cave below, Felix looked around the roughly 30-foot-deep space with a thoughtful expression. Kenneth was likely the tomb expert. Without him, entering the cave would be challenging. This wasn't something someone could just force their way through with raw power. Even if the traps couldn't hurt them, failing to follow the proper procedures might trigger the tomb's self-destruct mechanisms, leaving them with nothi

The twin sisters exchanged confused glances at Kenneth's words. One of them said, "Nobody's there. You really love making jokes, don't you?" Kenneth's worried expression quickly relaxed into a grin. "I might be old, but am I not allowed to still mess with the young ones once in a while?" They kept waiting, and about ten minutes later, Ashton showed up. He was actually Felix in disguise. Felix asked, "Is everyone here already?" Since Ashton was one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians and they all knew his identity, Felix made sure to act the part. "Yes, Mr. Willis. Just call me Kenneth. These two are the Tiller twins, Leah and Jean." Both women gave slight bows, their eyes full of curiosity. They were standing before one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians, after all. "Let's get moving, then." As they turned to leave, they all suddenly looked toward the same spot. From the bushes, a woman in her 20s stumbled out, limping while carrying a hiking backpack. She was obvi

So far, the only benefit Felix had enjoyed from the Destiny Crystal was the right to learn the Phaeron Codex. And it was a superior technique that even Billy had been denied access to. He said to Donna, "I still don't really get it." He kept asking because he hadn't felt any other effects from the Destiny Crystal. Helena had told him he was the chosen one, which was why he qualified for the crystal. But now, it seemed like there might have been a bait and switch. After a brief silence, Donna seemed to be figuring out how to explain more clearly. "Let's look at it this way. Soul cultivation has thresholds—lots of them. When you reach one, you need to elevate your soul to continue. "Soul elevation is extremely difficult, and if you fail, you can never practice soul cultivation again! A phantom core increases your chances of successful elevation, but a Destiny Crystal is different. Once you have it, you're guaranteed continuous soul elevation with a head start. "Do you know what

Pulling open the car door, Felix regained his composure. He remembered all of Donna's assurances, and he trusted that they weren't empty promises. After all, their work partnership had gotten pretty tight lately—she wouldn't play such life-threatening jokes. "Do you need something?" Just as he thought, Specter stood there without moving. He spoke with resignation, "I've put in all this effort and planned everything down to the last detail. Yet, I couldn't even scratch you. I'm honestly shocked."Felix pursed his lips. "You haven't seen anything yet." With a growing smile, Specter replied, "You've won! I'll back off from Hollow Soul. I can't face it alone anyway, and those losers I recruited were useless against you. I'm out of options." Felix felt a wave of relief wash over him as he nodded. He'd finally dealt with a major threat. Zara would be safe with Gerald, but Felix worried that he couldn't handle Specter. If his attacks continued, someone he cared about might get hurt o

Trembling, Ashton raised his hand to reveal a small silver square token in his palm. Made of some unknown metal, it had the character "Blue" inscribed on it. "Take this token and disguise yourself as me. Go to the forest about half a mile from Mount Dalinton. Then, find a treehouse there—underneath is our meeting spot." Felix drew the token toward himself but didn't notice anything special about it as he continued listening."A middleman contacted me with an invitation to explore an ancient tomb. It belongs to one of Francis' descendants. He was certain there were soul cultivation treasures inside and promised those would be mine, though I can't touch anything else." When Felix heard that it could be a tomb of Francis' descendant, he was thrilled inside but kept his expression neutral. Instead, he asked, "Why should I believe you?" Ashton had anticipated this question, so he hurriedly replied, "It's absolutely true! Francis Thane was the top alchemist of the Bronze Age. How co

Felix found it hard to breathe. It was not from shock but because the air had been completely sucked out of this place. The peak Grandmaster Realm masters who had looked down on him earlier were now all sliced into pieces, scattered everywhere. Even the middle-aged man who had fled first ended up the same way a few hundred yards away.Only Ashton remained on the ground, coughing up blood nonstop. Over a thousand sword marks covered his body. If it was not for the blood seeping through, they wouldn't even be visible through his clothes. These weren't just ordinary people or average martial artists, but five incredibly powerful peak Grandmaster Realm masters. Yet Dahlia had defeated them all with a single move. It was absolutely terrifying.As the air rushed back in, Dahlia spoke, "I kept him alive. You probably have questions for him." Felix smiled bitterly, finally understanding the gap between himself and Dahlia. He could only imagine how much stronger Eleanor had to be. "Tha
