Yvonne, who had followed them in, was just as baffled. Normally, Nala wouldn't care about such matters. Whether there were new suitors or someone chose to withdraw from the competition, it was all insignificant to her.But this time, she had come in person to question it, which was surprising.Ryan was equally shocked. Nala's actions seemed beneath her stature, as if implying that he, a mere suitor, were important to her."Why are you interested in knowing my reason?" he asked.George looked on with curiosity. This was unprecedented."Why? Is it wrong to be interested? Just tell me if you're willing to," Nala replied.Frowning slightly, Ryan spoke up, "There's no real reason. I'm tired, and there are plenty of people better than me. My odds were always low, so stepping aside is only natural."He didn't dare mention Felix's identity as the student of the revered medical doctor. Only a fool would miss out on that kind of detail.From the gleam in Nala's eyes, it was clear that sh

In Canraville, after four hours of refining the Dragonspine, Felix drove his Range Rover away. After only a short distance, he was blocked by a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.Two people stepped out of the car. One was Aimee, Xena's cousin, and the other was an unfamiliar but handsome young man."Felix, get out!"Aimee gestured for him to step out. Seeing that Felix was ignoring her, she walked over and knocked on the window.Knowing that Aimee wouldn't give up, Felix rolled down the window. "Are you done yet?"Aimee glanced at Felix coldly. "Felix, are you a man or not? Do your words mean nothing? You said you have nothing to do with my cousin anymore, so why did you meet her again?"Felix found it amusing. Aimee was so full of herself that she dared to interfere with the goddess of war's business."That was the last we would meet."At this moment, the young man next to her spoke up, "My name is Finnley Walsh, eldest son of the Walsh family, which is one of Aleshire's most prominent fam

Wendy felt a warm happiness in her heart. Were she and Felix a perfect match? Even outsiders seemed to notice that.But when she saw the darkened expression on the young man's face, she realized the gravity of the situation."He's not my boyfriend. If he needs anything, he'll come and look himself.""Understood, Ms. Kinsley."The young man stepped closer, looking displeased. "Boyfriend? Wendy, do you think I, Dylan Fraser, am someone to be toyed with?"Wendy frowned."Dylan, I don't know how I've offended you. Even if I do have a boyfriend, what does that have to do with you?""What?"Taking a deep breath, Dylan sneered. "Fine. It has nothing to do with me, right? From now on, business between our families is over. That's the price for lying to me."Truth be told, Dylan was quite impressive in many ways and would have been a suitable match if he was not such a playboy. He was known for being a womanizer, and he didn't bother to hide it at all.Rumor had it that he was seeing

Jack glanced at Felix with a smirk and teased jokingly, "What else can I do? You made my relationship with the general manager hit rock bottom. I might have to run away now."Vanessa was speechless. She knew Felix was extraordinary, and only Jack would dare speak to him this way."Don't forget Maddy's engagement party the day after tomorrow. She asked me to remind you.""I promised her, so I'll definitely be there."Refining the Dragonspine was a top priority, but attending an event in Yartford wouldn't be a problem, either. If he went late at 4:00 am, began the training, and returned the next day, nothing would be delayed.After going to the restroom, Felix came back to find Jack suddenly pulling Vanessa to her feet."Sorry, Felix. We've got to go. Something came up."Felix was puzzled. "Do you need my help?"They had planned to have drinks, so them leaving abruptly made Felix concerned."There's nothing you can do. We're leaving!"Vanessa looked helpless and, with her strai

Felix ultimately arrived at the Wolfie troops' base, though he was quite hesitant and didn't even know why himself.He followed Alistair down to an underground room, where Xena was already present. Sonny was confined in a cell, looking haggard and clearly having endured some tough days, though it meant little for someone like him."Sonny, I'm here. You can speak now."Xena felt complicated. She was about to hear the truth. She would finally know whether there was a hidden story or if Felix truly was a coward.Sonny grinned, stood up, and slowly approached the iron bars, looking at Felix. "You're here."Suddenly, his hysterical laughter echoed through the underground space. "You really came. This woman, Xena, must mean a lot to you! But so what? You're here, and I was just toying with you. You tricked me once, so now, we're even."Felix was emotionless. He hadn't expected that Sonny summoned him just for this.Xena shook her head and turned to leave, but Alistair became anxious

Just as Felix was about to turn away, Ernest saw him and called out, "Felix!"With no other choice, Felix braced himself and walked over.As expected, Xena frowned upon seeing him."Mr. Holt Senior, I'll take my leave for now," she said.Felix and Ernest had been neighbors back in Avesburgh. Since Xena came to know Felix's medical skills, she expected that Felix would show up at Ernest's birthday party tonight.Ernest, without thinking too much, smiled and looked at Felix. "Felix, let me introduce you. This is my son, Isaac Holt, Sherlyn's father."Isaac, in the prime of his career, had a dominant presence. He spoke respectfully to Ernest but turned his sharp gaze toward Felix."Are you interrogating a criminal?" Ernest immediately chastised him. A hint of helplessness flashed in Isaac's eyes.Felix had charmed Sherlyn completely, and as her father, Isaac couldn't even give him a stern look?"Hello, Mr. Holt," Felix said as they shook hands.Isaac nodded. "Hello. I've heard

At that moment, the masculine charisma oozed in those words Felix said could make anyone fall for him.Yvonne was no different, but she didn't forget that certain things remained true."Listen to me, Felix! If you dare show up at my wedding, you will become the person I hate most for the rest of my life."With that, she left. She was overwhelmed by sadness. Who wouldn't want happiness? But not everyone was qualified to have it.Even if Felix's passionate speech was sincere, putting aside Nala, just the Walsh family in Aleshire alone was an opponent Felix couldn't fight with.Rather than embarking on a perilous journey together, she preferred the ones she loved to live a peaceful and safe life.Having said everything that needed to be said, Felix didn't chase after her. He would fulfill his promise on the wedding day.He hadn't walked far before he was blocked by Aimee and Finnley."You don't seem to take my warning seriously."Finnley's expression was cold as he fixed his gaze

"Felix, don't bother with that fool. Let's go have a couple of drinks," George suggested.Felix didn't refuse them. He had nothing else to do at the moment, so he went along for a casual chat to pass the time."I heard that Sherlyn will be performing an opening dance for Mr. Holt Senior. I wonder who her male partner is. I couldn't find out," George said offhandedly, making Ryan chuckle."I'm not sure, either, but it definitely won't be an ordinary man. With the kind of background Sherlyn has, do you think she would pick a nobody for the opening dance? I suspect it's very likely her future husband."Since the topic was brought up, Felix couldn't help but be curious. "Why have I never heard of any of you wanting to pursue Sherlyn?"Sherlyn had a prominent family background. Ernest, though retired, still wielded influence, and Isaac was a general at the peak of his career. How could no one be interested? From a certain perspective, marrying Sherlyn might even be better than marryi

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
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1391
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
