The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 830
An invincible force suddenly surrounded the guards. They paled as their bodies became immobile, as though bound by invisible chains.Fortunately for them, Selmer didn't want to kill them. Otherwise, they would have died by now.Within seconds, five figures appeared at the gate. Judging by their auras, all five were masters of the Blood Realm, a proof of Skyward Guild's might."What is the meaning of this?" a middle-aged man asked.Selmer smiled. "I've come to deliver a message on behalf of my master. And you are?"The middle-aged man's expression shifted after hearing that. It had been years since anyone dared to address Skyward Guild in this manner."I am Stamford of Skyward Guild," he replied.Selmer nodded. "Mr. Zeller was the one who hurt Thomas. This phone contains evidence of him kidnapping a high school girl and attempting to assault her. If Skyward Guild chooses to shield him, Mr. Zeller will prepare to fight."He tossed the phone to Stamford and left, leaving Skyward G

In Gray City, just as Tranquil Clinic was about to close, a man walked in."Sir, you're not here to see a doctor, are you?" Felix asked, looking at the man as he entered."I'm Stamford Walter, the seventh elder of Skyward Guild. We've received the message you sent."With a slight lift of his right hand, Felix said, "You received it and still sent someone here. It seems like the guild isn't what I thought it was."Stamford got straight to the point. "Thomas died, but he deserved it! However, you've also injured someone of our own—Patrick."The sect leader has ordered that if you heal Patrick, everything will be as if it never happened."In Stamford's eyes, there was no way Felix would refuse. No one wanted to provoke the top guild in Dragonia over this.However, Felix shook his head. "Perhaps you think this is simple—or are you purposefully ignoring the details? Patrick assisted Thomas in his arrogance and recklessness. If he didn't, do you think that many tragedies would've happ

"You—" The middle-aged man was utterly speechless. Felix was so young, yet the middle-aged man—a Pulse Realm martial artist—couldn't even take one of Felix's hits."You're truly a genius. And a quite low-profile one at that!" With that, the middle-aged man held his chest and turned to leave. Felix frowned. "You came all the way here, yet you're leaving already?"Although the middle-aged man knew he was outmatched, he showed no fear."Heh! Why? Are you still trying to kill me? The sun hasn't even set yet, and it's still broad daylight. I'd like to see you try."Felix spread his hands and smiled. "I'm just kidding! Don't get so worked up. I'm a good citizen. How could I kill you?"With a cold snort, the middle-aged man strode away.…Just as Felix returned home, Selmer called. "Mr. Zeller, it's all settled. The Greenes sent that man just to test your strength!"The Greenes? Felix hung up without another word. It seemed like Xena disrupting their plans had really pushed them int

After arriving back in Gray City, Felix received a phone call from Xena, and he left for the hotel suite."Someone from headquarters sent this. He'll evaluate the effectiveness of your disguise," Zena said.She had brought along an old man with her. He seemed to be a smoking addict—besides the clear cigarette in his hand, the whole room had a strong smell of smoke.Felix nodded. "Alright, I'll go get ready." Since Felix was using a Shadow Mask, he couldn't publicly show him using it. When he came out of the room, he had completely transformed into another young man.When the old man finished his cigarette, he circled around Felix several times. A smile grew on his face as he exclaimed, "This is great! This is the only disguise I can't see through!"Xena was also extremely happy. After all, Felix was under her, and this could be considered her achievement."I'll be heading back to headquarters now, and the results will be shown tomorrow," the old man said.After the old man lef

After returning to Dragonia, Felix and Selmer had a long discussion. Although there weren't many secrets about them, Felix learned some insignificant things about the Elders' Council.For example, there were only seven true elders in the Elders' Council. Six of them were normal elders, and one was a Supreme Elder.Selmer had only seen one, and that was Gage Shepherd, who was sitting in front of Felix at this moment. For him to be an elder in the Elders' Council, no one could fathom how terrifying his true strength was.To be honest, Felix hadn't expected Gage to show up like this. Gage smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm Gage Shepherd. But you don't have to worry. I'm just here to see a doctor."Was he really seeking out a doctor? Selmer trembled slightly. He had seen Gage's full strength once. If Gage decided to take action, no one here could survive.However, the key question was why the Elders' Council sent someone like Gage over. Were they not worried that Eloise would retaliate?
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 835
All of a sudden, a small object appeared on the table, as if Gage had suddenly conjured it form nowhere.This little object made Felix's eyes brighten up, and he was extremely excited. "This is it!"Gage nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's an alchemy furnace."It really was an alchemy furnace! Felix started breathing heavily at the sight.. "An alchemy furnace is a magic weapon. After dripping your blood on it, it'll recognize you as its master and unfold into a bigger object. Of course, given our hostile relationship, you wouldn't trust me."You can have it recognize you as its master first and then treat me."The alchemy furnace that Felix had wished for appeared just like this. He felt like he was dreaming. He had read and reread the book Gerald had given him to the point of being obsessed.He wanted to try it out as soon as possible. And since Gage had said so, why was Felix still hesitating?He took it and dripped his blood on it. It merged into his body, and when it came out

The herbs Felix needed for alchemic refining weren't only needed in a high quantity but also extremely rare. If Felix used his connections to source them, it would take a long time.In the end, he consulted Silas, who then introduced him to Qualls Pharmaceutical."I hadn't expected you to come here personally, Ms. Qualls. I'm flattered," Felix said.Yasmin's manners were impeccable, and the way she spoke was pleasant. "Dr. Zeller, it's my honor to be of use to a genius doctor like you."Felix nodded and took out a file before handing it over. "All the herbs I need are listed here. You can take a look first, Ms. Qualls. If you have any issues, you can tell me and we'll work out the kinks together."Yasmin nodded. "Alright, please wait a minute." Half an hour passed before Yasmin finally finished reading them all."Most of the herbs are doable. We have enough reserves to supply you. There are only a dozen of extremely rare ones, but I can also guarantee the delivery within a mont

Felix looked at Xena speechlessly for a moment. Why was she becoming more and more irrational? Why didn't she tell him earlier if she didn't want him to go?Why did she tell him at this moment?"The headquarters had already issued an order. Why are you telling me to back out now?" he questioned.Xena also knew it was a bit too late to say anything, but she couldn't help herself. "Fine, then let's get back to the point. Three months ago, something strange happened in Seapoint. The residents of the town began sleeping during the day and only waking at night."Their sleep cycles were reversed? Felix clicked his tongue inwardly. This was truly the first time he had heard of such a thing."Why does it sound like they're vampires? But isn't that a fictional thing?" Felix remarked.Xena glared at Felix, signaling for him to take this more seriously. She continued, "The point is, the people in town are completely normal. There's nothing strange besides their sleep cycles. "We've sent p

Chloe stepped into the treatment room and found herself face-to-face with a middle-aged doctor, Stewart. He looked like he was in his 40s and was wearing a surgical mask.He said, "Hello! Lie down.""Alright," Chloe mumbled. She followed the instructions given by the person on the street—pay the fee, stay silent, and go through with a routine cleaning. Coincidentally, she had actually gotten her teeth cleaned before, so the entire procedure felt exactly the same. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, she could not help but wonder if this could actually cure her body odor. Just then, Stewart said, "You're all set. You can leave now."Chloe wanted to ask more questions but held herself back. She stepped out of the dental clinic and walked a block in the agreed-upon direction before Felix appeared."Open your mouth," Felix said. Then, he swirled a cotton swab inside her mouth and examined it closely in the light.Just like that, he already knew what was going on.Chloe as

Donna explained, "I call them hybrids because they aren't real Malevolent Phantoms. They just inherit certain traits, which aren't always the same! "For example, some might have regenerative abilities purely on a physical level—this doesn't require soul energy. Their bodies just heal on their own. Others might inherit aspects related to soul energy, but overall, there's no fixed rule."However, one thing is certain. At least from what I know, Malevolent Phantoms cannot truly reproduce by merging with other species. No matter what, they won't give birth to a real Malevolent Phantom."Felix latched onto that last sentence, his grip tightening as he quickly asked, "Then, if they aren't real Malevolent Phantoms, does that mean whoever's controlling you guys can't reclaim them?"Donna replied, "Exactly! A hybrid is just that—a hybrid. Think of it like ligers, the lion-tiger hybrids humans breed. They're entirely new species. How could the ones controlling us possibly reclaim them?"Fe

Felix nearly choked on his own spit. He quickly cleared his throat and blurted out, "You sure you called the right person?"For a second, he panicked. If anyone else had overheard that, they would have thought Xena was announcing his child's birth.Xena replied, "No mistake. I was just too shocked. This is huge."Felix frowned and asked, "Alright… Then, why are you telling me about this?"Xena's tone turned serious. "Felix, we've been monitoring a Malevolent Phantom for a while. We finally took it down. But here's the thing—its wife was already pregnant, and just now… she gave birth."Felix's expression darkened as he thought, "Its wife? No—more accurately, the wife of the human the Malevolent Phantom has replaced."He mumbled aloud, "Are you saying…""You guessed it," Xena confirmed grimly. "To be sure, we called in Dr. Morris. He made a small incision on the newborn's arm, and the wound healed instantly."Felix gasped, wondering what the hell was going on. The idea of a Malev

Felix remarked, "You sure know a lot."He sighed. At this point, he had given up on being surprised—Billy seemed to know everything.Billy replied, "I was just thinking out loud, really. But Mr. Hoffman didn't tell you, and he didn't warn you not to listen to me, either… which probably means he's already given his silent approval!"He added, "When you reach peak Grandmaster, the nine Dragonspine fragments will completely dissolve. Normally, they would merge into your body, unleashing an indescribable energy that continuously strengthens your physique. "Now imagine that—combined with Dragon Punches—how powerful you'd be."Dragon Punches was a technique that had only appeared after Felix had gathered the final Dragonspine fragment and ascended to Grandmaster. Yet, somehow, Billy knew about it, too.All the techniques recorded in Dragons Destroyer had vanished, leaving behind only Dragon Punches—a purely physical combat technique. He had never used it before because he had not enco

As the Malevolent Phantom spoke, his legs fully regenerated. He stood tall, looking at Felix with unwavering confidence. Just then, the roar of an approaching car filled the air.The vehicle screeched to a stop, and the doors flung open. A boy and a girl, no older than eight years old, jumped out and ran straight toward the Malevolent Phantom.They shouted, "Daddy!"The Malevolent Phantom knelt down, wrapping his arms tightly around the two children. His eyes were filled with nothing but warmth and love as he asked, "My little ones, what are you doing here?"They replied excitedly, "We missed you! Mr. Dunphy brought us. It's so late, and you still haven't come home! You promised to tell us a bedtime story tonight!"Felix's raised hand trembled. He finally understood why the Malevolent Phantom was so certain he would not be killed. To these two children, the Malevolent Phantom was their father. His body and voice were identical—the only difference was the soul inside."This is D
Chapter 1210
No matter how much a Malevolent Phantom knew, the only thing that was ultimately recovered from them was the extent of humanity's mastery over the soul—nothing else.According to Donna, when a Malevolent Phantom was killed, only a tiny fragment of their remaining soul was retrieved. It was not enough to record everything they had learned—only the most critical information was preserved.So, in the end, whatever intelligence a Malevolent Phantom gathered during its time on Earth did not matter.Felix narrowed his eyes and said, "You're pretty smart. No, actually, a lot of you Malevolent Phantoms seem to have figured this out. Is that why so many of you beg for your lives?"A flicker of hope flashed in the Malevolent Phantom's eyes, and he replied in a serious tone, "I know martial artists like you are bound by your oaths. If you swear on the heavens that you won't kill me, I'll give you some valuable information."Felix did not hesitate. Raising his hand, he declared, "I swear on t
Chapter 1209
Felix was a Grandmaster. From this close, he could tell immediately whether Malevolent Phantom had used a technique to heal his broken arm or if it had simply regenerated on its own. That was why he made that remark.The Malevolent Phantom frowned. He replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."Then, as if deciding it was not worth the trouble, he muttered, "Whatever. You're strong. I'll give you that. But this isn't that big of a deal, so I'll let you walk away unharmed."Felix's mouth twitched. This was the second Malevolent Phantom he had encountered—after Karina's incident—that actually knew when to back down.It seemed that just like humans, Malevolent Phantoms changed depending on their environment and way of life. The weaker ones, in particular, were more likely to adapt, which was probably why they only killed when they absolutely needed to feed."I'm just a martial artist," Felix said, smirking. "Are you really that afraid of dying?"The Malevolent Phantom

If Felix had not come, no one would have noticed the distinct scent on the victims' bodies. Without that clue, the culprits could have continued their crimes without restraint.He muttered, "Was this all planned by the A-tier Malevolent Phantom? I have a really bad feeling about this."The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became. Could something this organized and meticulously executed really be the work of just one Malevolent Phantom? If humans were involved, that would be far more terrifying.When it came to outside threats, no matter how horrifying, the people of Dragonia had always been willing to fight to the bitter end. However, history had a way of repeating itself—if traitors had existed in the past, who was to say they did not exist now?Eventually, Felix said, "Chloe, here's the plan. Tomorrow, you'll go to this dental clinic. You won't see me, but I'll be watching from the shadows. I promise you won't be in any danger."Then, he pulled out a check. He ha
Chapter 1207
Felix had not expected Gerald to bring up the Ancient Sage and the Eight Guardians on his own.Gerald replied, "Quit worrying about me and my brother. Karina already told me everything, and since you've already clashed with the Eight Guardians, you might as well see it through to the end."With that, the call ended. Felix felt a rush of excitement. At least now, he had something solid to report to Eloise.Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think this would be easy. If Gerald had set this as his goal, it meant the Eight Guardians were not just some random pushovers.Now that he had already crossed paths with Ashton, he did not need to look for trouble—the rest of them would definitely come after him sooner or later. There was no way they would just sit back and do nothing if one of their own was taken out.But so far, Felix had only encountered two of them—Ashton and Bonnie. The other six remained a mystery, and that was the real problem.By the time the sun was setting, his
