The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 842
During the day, Felix wandered around the town alone and saw several trucks entering. However, he didn't head over to talk. He only watched from a distance.Someone from the headquarters had taken the note he had hidden the night before. Felix couldn't find anything strange during the whole process.…In a city over 31 miles away from Seapoint, Xena was worried after reading the note brought back by the driver.Felix had snuck in, but why was everything getting weirder? Xena couldn't help much now. All she could do was contact Seven and tell him what Felix had said in the letter. "My Dragonspines are trembling, but I don't know why. I cannot contact anyone, too."…Another night passed, and Felix grew more irritable. As long as he was in the house, the Dragonspines didn't stop trembling. Now, he could only hope that his fellow apprentices could find a way to bring him Gerald's explanation.Around 10:00 am, the dogs in his area started barking. Felix went outside and saw a co

Felix remained composed, but his heart sank. There were usually only stray animals in Seapoint during the day. It was impossible to see any human beings in broad daylight.It would've seemed normal if a stranger had stumbled upon the town. However, this was Augustus standing before him."Oh, Mr. Docker! I was just taking a stroll. It gets too boring to stay in the house."Augustus still had a smile on his face. Despite the warm sunshine, Felix felt chills run down his spine."The town has changed a lot in recent years! I'll take you on a proper tour. There are some places that you can't fully appreciate at night."With this invitation, Felix felt like he was left in a tough spot. In fact, he had also guessed the situation. Immediately, he dropped the act and said coldly, "Since it's come to this, let me be frank. I'm a Dragon Knight sent by the headquarters. "Mr. Docker, it's best for you to surrender and confess. Cooperate, and you might be treated more leniently. Otherwise,

Just as Felix's attack was about to land, there was a muffled sound. All of a sudden, another person appeared beside Augustus.This man was around 30 years old and wore jeans, a white shirt, and a pair of glasses. He easily dissipated the energy that was thrown by Felix."Greetings, my lord!" Augustus fell to the ground, and his expression turned respectful. There was even a hint of fascination in his eyes."What is this? Why did you wake me up?" Augustus quickly pointed at Felix and said, "I'm so sorry, my lord. Someone snuck in! I tried to handle it myself but couldn't hurt him. It seems like he has something protecting his soul."Huh? The man looked at Felix, the surprise clear on his face."How interesting! This is the first time I've met someone who has knowledge in this area. You're quite suited to be my guardian!" he said while laughing.The next moment, the man pointed two index fingers at Felix. "You fool!"A green light flashed, and a four-armed, two-headed monster a

Back in Gray City, Felix was still a little overwhelmed. If it hadn't been for the flute that Billy gave him, he probably would've died in Seapoint that day.However, had he not been sent there, the situation in Seapoint wouldn't have been solved. If it had been another agent who was sent there, they would've been changed and become a part of Seapoint, or they would've died.Felix glanced out the window before deciding to take a shower. All of a sudden, his body trembled, and he quickly looked at the clock on the wall. It was only 4:30 pm.He turned to look outside the window again, and it was pitch black. He thought carefully of when he sat in the living room. The sunlight had been penetrating into the house—so when did it become dark?"Such a weak man. Are you even worthy of having the true Dragonspine?" There was a sudden voice behind Felix, and all the lights in the house were unexpectedly turned on. Another man appeared on the couch where Felix had been sitting prior.It wa

After Felix hung up the phone, the bitterness on his face grew. Since he had merged with the sixth Dragonspine and had shown his power in Astoria, even Selmer from Elders' Council took the initiative to surrender.That incident had boosted Felix's confidence. However, the unexpected mission at Seapoint and the appearance of the cloaked man brought him back to reality. He still felt helpless.All of a sudden, Wayne from Obsidian Auction called. "Mr. Williams, there's news on the furnace you're looking for." Oh? Finally, Felix felt like he regained his luck. Although he already had the furnace given by Gage, comparing the two wouldn't hurt.Besides, according to the medical book given by Gerald, refining the pills and elixir might cause the furnace to explode. So, it was better for Felix to make sure he had a spare."When shall we meet?""Now! The consignor is extremely cautious and unwilling to head to Obsidian Auction to trade. He has prepared a place for you to meet."The meet

The old man stood there with a sincere smile. It made Felix upset. Why didn't the old man attack him? He felt weirded out by it.The man burst out laughing. "I was just kidding, so don't take it so seriously. Of course, I won't sell such a treasure for ten million dollars!"With that, Felix heaved a sigh of relief. Yes, this seemed to be on the right track."I heard from Mr. Sutcliff from Obsidian Auction that you have superb medical skills. Such an opportunity is worth a lot of money, so the ten million dollars is an honest deal. However, I would have to add your favor to the deal. How about that?"So, that was it. Felix immediately agreed, "Deal!"Once the transaction was agreed upon, the old man waited for Felix to claim the furnace with his blood. Then, the two exchanged a few words before leaving.On the way back, Felix was the one driving while Selmer sat in the passenger seat. Selmer sat looking puzzled. "No one is following us! Mr. Zeller, to be honest, this might be

"I've made up my mind. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll have lunch with you all at noon, and then, I'll leave," Felix stated.Just as he finished speaking, Billy walked in. "I heard you're leaving?" Felix glanced at Nala, who stood by the door. He guessed that it was Nala who told Billy."Yes. Join us for lunch." Billy sighed. "Well, lunch is fine. But you look horrible. Are you sure you want to leave?"Felix's expression darkened immediately. After what happened in Seapoint, he was really worried when Billy said that he looked horrible. "Don't be so nonsensical," Felix said. Billy shook his head with a sigh. "Forget it. You'll regret it if you don't listen to your old friend. The cause and effect are hard to say. Anyway, I've advised you, so I'm no longer responsible for anything."With that, Felix didn't know how to react before finally calling Billy back with a sigh. "What if I don't leave?"Billy turned around with a chuckle. "See? When you said you don't want to

"I'm sorry, but this isn't a Patek Philippe membership card," the salesman said after looking at the card. He gave Felix a look of disdain. Was Felix making fun of him because of his kindness?However, the middle-aged man's expression changed quickly. He immediately said, "This is the Concord Bank Diamond Card. Hurry up and get your manager over here."What? The Diamond Card of Concord Bank? The salesman rushed off in a hurry. On the side, the man's wife's expression turned into shock. She never would've thought that Felix could actually take out a Diamond Card from Concord Bank. That was definitely a symbol of status. When she thought of how she acted toward him, she felt a little scared."I'm so sorry, sir. My wife didn't know. I hope you can forgive us for offending you earlier."To be honest, the man had cold sweat running down his back. Fortunately, he acted kindly. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble."It's alright. Thank you for your explanation." Felix didn't want

"Mr. Hoffman?" Felix muttered. No wonder Delilah had shown up in person."Why didn't Mr. Hoffman just call me?" he asked.Delilah shrugged, raising both hands. "Because it's not convenient. If you make one choice, I can report back and be done with it, saving everyone the time."Felix nodded, finally curious about this big choice. Then, Delilah asked, "Zara, the one with Twinshade Body, came to see you, didn't she?"That caught Felix off guard. "How do you know about that?"Delilah rolled her eyes with a little smirk. If one of her fans saw her like this, they would probably faint from the shock.She explained, "It's not like I'm psychic. Mr. Hoffman told me. Ever since you left Martial City and came back, he's had Ophelia keeping an eye on Zara the whole time, so of course he knows."Ophelia? That explained why he had not seen her around since coming back. "So, what's the choice Mr. Hoffman wants me to make? Is it really about Zara?"Delilah nodded firmly. "Exactly. Mr. Hoff

Donna said, "Felix, Specter's the kind of guy who'll stop at nothing. I'll hold back and observe for now, but if you really prove you've got what it takes, I'll act like I never even saw that woman."…Later, Zara was resting her chin in both palms with a sweet, innocent smile on her face. She hummed, "Mhm!"Felix let out a groan and rubbed his face. "Don't just say 'mhm'! Did you even understand what I just told you?"After piecing together everything Donna had said, Felix laid it all out for Zara. Since Specter could strike at any time and Zara still did not know what Malevolent Phantoms even were, he figured she needed to hear it all."Of course I understood. Relax, honey. I'm not stupid," Zara replied casually. Since she got it, Felix finally let himself relax, too. A weight lifted off his chest, and for the first time in a while, he really looked at Zara's flawless face. He thought, "Yeah—there's no way I can hold back anymore."He said, "Let's take care of something… imp

Felix finally snapped out of it. Just moments ago, Donna had looked so grim, claiming something big was about to happen. Yet now, after her whole speech, it was all about the benefits of Zara being a Hollow Soul.Donna said, "Hollow Soul has a unique trait. If consumed, it can greatly boost your chances of success.""Consumed?" That one word made Felix's face darken instantly. "Success in what exactly?"Donna had tried to be vague, but there was no way Felix did not get the implication. To put it bluntly, she was talking about eating Zara's soul."Whether you're stuck at a plateau in your cultivation, your soul is mutating, or you're trying to master powerful soul-based techniques—offensive or defensive—if it's soul-related, Hollow Soul can drastically increase your chances of success."Felix's expression shifted as something came rushing back to him. Billy had once told him that when the Mystical Explosive Orb absorbed enough soul essence to reach capacity, it could be used to re
Chapter 1348
Donna added one more thing, her tone grave, "All of S-tier Malevolent Phantoms build our defenses entirely with soul energy. You've clashed with Specter twice now—you should know this already. "So, if your wife ever charged straight at one of us, those terrifying, nearly impenetrable defenses we rely on would shatter like cheap glass in front of her. Hollow Soul breaks right through."That was when it all finally clicked for Felix. Hollow Soul was not just rare—it was a natural-born nemesis to any soul cultivator. Anyone with even a hint of alternative strength could put up a fight, but for beings like Malevolent Phantoms, who relied purely on soul energy, the only real option was to run.Moreover, Zara was not just some non-combatant with a powerful trait. She was the real deal—peak of Grandmaster Realm. With that in mind, Specter's retreat made perfect sense.He asked, "She can't sense the Hollow Soul trait herself, right?"Donna nodded. "Yeah. Unless someone actually explains

Felix urged, "What do you mean by that? Can you not talk in riddles right now?"He was practically squirming with anticipation. It was the first time he had ever seen Donna—an S-tier Malevolent Phantom—so hesitant to speak."Can I say this in front of her?" Donna asked, glancing toward Zara.Felix nodded without hesitation. If it were anyone else, maybe he would have kept them out of the conversation, but Zara was not like other people. Right now, the only thing that seemed to stir her emotions was Felix—absolutely nothing else.Seeing his response, Donna finally spoke up, "Hollow Soul can completely ignore all soul-based attacks, including soul-bound weapons.""What?" Felix stood frozen. He honestly was not sure he had heard her right. The possibility of something being immune to all soul-based attacks sounded ridiculous. And then, a memory flashed—Specter had tried to obliterate his soul, and the attack had clearly been launched. However, the moment Zara showed up, it all ju

Donna said, "Alright. I agree to your terms. And don't worry—when Malevolent Phantoms give our word, we mean it. Specter showing up like that was a complete surprise to me, too. I never imagined he'd go that far off the rails."Seeing that Felix had finally cooled down, Donna spoke again, "Take out the Mystical Explosive Orb. The imprint Specter placed on it has a time limit. If you wait too long, it'll fade."Felix thought that made sense. If anyone could just take someone else's Mystical Explosive Orb and casually absorb their soul essence, the entire system would have collapsed a long time ago. With that in mind, he pulled out the orb and gripped it in his right hand. Donna leaned forward and tapped Specter's orb against it. In an instant, a surge of soul energy shot straight into Felix's soul. The rush was just as satisfying as killing a Malevolent Phantom directly, and the amount was no joke."I'll be heading out now," Donna said, turning to leave.Felix called after her, "W

At the edge of Zuera, near the city border, Felix met with Donna. For now, he kept Zara in the car and did not ask her to step out.Felix teased, "I'm guessing S-tier Malevolent Phantoms like you are too proud to ever say 'sorry' to someone like me, huh?"Donna nodded. "This time, it was my mistake. I didn't expect Specter to be bold enough to pull something like that."To say Felix was not angry would have been a lie—he had nearly lost his life because of this. Of course, he had every right to be furious.He argued, "A mistake? Do you even realize that your so-called 'mistake' almost got my soul erased from existence? Then again, judging by how Specter behaved, "It's clear he wasn't interested in the Mystical Explosive Orb, which means you didn't lose a damn thing. You can just move on and pick your next partner like nothing happened."Donna knew she was in the wrong and did not try to reason.Felix continued, "I just don't get it! Zuera's S-tier Phantoms wouldn't let you in,

Terrence's eyes were surprisingly clear as he gave Felix a faint smile. He said, "I'm a dead man anyway, so why worry about all that? Even if I hadn't told you, I doubt you would've fallen for the trick. I could tell from the way you fought—you're too sharp for that."He looked at Felix, his gaze distant with a hint of nostalgia. He added, "Felix, I believe you're one of the few who'll truly shake the world in the days to come. Let me go in peace. If you can, cremate me. I've never liked the idea of rotting underground."Felix pressed a finger to Terrence's forehead, and the latter closed his eyes.Felix still did not dare use soul search on any of Eight Guardians—mainly because of the Ancient Sage. Just thinking back to Bonnie was proof enough that the Ancient Sage's expertise in soul techniques ran deep. There was no saying what kind of protections or traps were in place, and one misstep could backfire in ways Felix could not afford. Besides, the Guardians were not going around

Felix finally felt relaxed once they arrived in Zuera. For now, it looked like Specter was not coming back—at least not anytime soon. Still, he needed to check with Donna to know for sure.He said, "Zara, give me a minute."Right now, the priority was getting some answers out of Terrence. That mattered more than anything else. Otherwise, Felix would have already killed him instead of dragging him back here.In the hotel suite, Terrence lay half-dead on the bed, barely conscious. Yet, when Felix walked in, he actually smiled.He said calmly, "Getting killed by someone like you? Honestly, I've got no regrets. Ask whatever you want. I'll tell you what I can. But if it's something I'm not supposed to reveal, not even a soul search will get it out of me."Felix did not doubt that at all. After all, Eight Guardians served directly under the Ancient Sage—a figure whose power and methods were far beyond anything Felix could predict or afford to mess with. Especially since that exact figur
