Curtis frowned, asking, "He's the person you were talking about?""That's right," replied Dalton.Sometimes, situations arose in which one needed to exercise discretion.Felix spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Meyer Senior, Mr. Summers Senior, I'm expecting a guest back home. I'm afraid that it's not an appointment I can reschedule, so I'll take my leave first."After Dalton had escorted Felix out, Curtis started questioning him again."Are you sure he was the one who helped your family and that he didn't ask for any reward?"Whatever the two old men discussed regarding the situation with Martial Alliance, it was no longer Felix's concern. He had already achieved the outcome he wanted—although he knew that Curtis wouldn't change his mind about him due to this incident alone, it was still a good start.…At that moment, there was an electric scooter lying on its side on a street in Canraville, and not far from the scooter lay an old man. There were many onlookers gathered around, an

"Who the hell's trying to play hero now?" Damon turned around, and his face immediately dropped. "Dr… Dr. Leonard?" Murmurs rippled through the crowd. "Isn't that the specialist from Mercy Hospital, Leonard Ziegler?" "It really is! Just last month, I waited two weeks to get an appointment with him for my mom." "Could this young man be some kind of medical prodigy? Even someone like Dr. Leonard is vouching for him." Clearly, Damon recognized Leonard and started stammering, "W-Well… if Dr. Leonard vouches for him, I have no objections." Felix was puzzled. He did not know Leonard. Given his own young age, it also seemed incredible that such a distinguished expert in modern medicine would vouch for a stranger in a life-or-death situation. Nevertheless, saving Arthur was the priority. Felix immediately began the acupuncture treatment. Within minutes, Arthur opened his eyes and managed to stand up with Felix's help. "Dad!" Damon exclaimed joyfully. The onlookers were amazed. A

The note read, "Felix, I've mastered the forbidden technique. Do you dare face me again tonight at the peak of Eastern Mountain?" Was it Solomon again? Felix smirked. He had spared Solomon's life last time to send a message, and also because he did not have martial powers then. It was a tactical retreat, but things were now different. If Solomon was so eager to die, why should Felix spare him? He had thought the Elders' Council would lay low for a while, but apparently not for long. As night fell, Felix drove toward Eastern Mountain. The familiar scenery reminded him of his previous misunderstanding with Xena, which was all because of this mountain. Near the mountain, he encountered a roadblock manned by armed Wolfie troops. He stopped and lowered his window. The guard spoke, "This area is temporarily restricted. Please take a detour." Detour? Where to? This was the only road up the mountain. "Alright." After driving a short distance away, he pulled over and reached for his

"Dexter Grimshaw!" Timothy shouted.Timothy's eyes flashed with intense focus as he suddenly turned toward a large boulder. Sure enough, a figure now stood atop it. It was a short, middle-aged man with dark, withered skin whose appearance could make one's stomach turn. His beady eyes radiated a bone-chilling gleam. Even without looking, Timothy would have recognized the Jack of Hearts from Thirteen Aces by his voice alone. "So you've shown up with your elite squad. It seems someone really did sell me out! Never mind, it actually helps clear up some questions I had," Dexter mocked.Timothy's presence was overwhelming as he sneered. "Heh! You're quite composed. Have you accepted your inevitable death and come to beg for mercy?" Dexter's eyes narrowed, rage flickering within. "Did you think I'll still get beaten up by you like before? If I'm showing myself, you're not leaving here alive!" Timothy showed no fear. He hadn't ascended to the rank of Martial Saint and became one of t

Timothy could not avoid the blade in time as he was still recovering from his previous move. It sliced through his right thigh, instantly revealing his bone as blood sprayed outward. "Damn it! He doesn't feel pain, does he?" Then it hit him–of course Solomon felt nothing. He was Dexter's zombie creation now. Catching movement out of the corner of his eyes, Timothy fought through the pain. He made a feint before charging straight at Dexter, who stood watching from his perch on the boulder. Despite Timothy's rapid approach, Dexter's face showed only amusement and no fear. "You think you're worthy to face me?" Dexter sneered.Just as Timothy expected, Solomon moved with frightening speed to block his path. As minutes ticked by, wounds appeared across Solomon's body as exhaustion creeped into his features. Though Timothy's elite guards tried to assist, Dexter's four zombies, who were equally immune to pain and injury, kept them thoroughly occupied. "Mr. Hunter, Solomon could ac
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 515
Timothy stood frozen in shock. Felix had severed both of Dexter's legs with just a flick of his finger, leaving the notorious criminal barely clinging to life with just his upper body. At that moment, Timothy understood something. Felix had to have achieved the Innate Realm. Nothing else explained such overwhelming power. Good God, wasn't Felix just supposed to be a traditional medicine practitioner? Sure, the best practitioners train in both medicine and martial arts, but this is ridiculous! "Perhaps this is your destiny." Felix gazed into Solomon's struggling eyes before striking with his palm. In that final moment, Solomon managed to smile. It was rigid and unnatural but filled with unmistakable relief. "Mr. Hunter, would you call this self-defense?" Felix asked.Timothy let out a bitter laugh, his demeanor now completely different from their first meeting. "Absolutely." With one step, Felix sent Dexter's four zombie warriors flying, never to rise again. Timothy's men rus

"Yes. Lady Summers is at the foot of the mountain," Timothy said. "I'm not part of your organization, so there's no point for me to claim credit. Give them all to Xena," stated Felix. Watching Felix vanish, Timothy examined his battered body and sighed deeply. "Damn! The ladies really do have it better."…At the mountain's base, Xena and Alistair grew anxious as time dragged on. "Lady Summers, could something have gone wrong?" Alistair asked.Xena shook her head. "That's unlikely. Timothy reached the level of Martial Saint last year. He should be able to handle Dexter."Just then, Alistair spotted movement. "They're coming!" They rushed forward, shocked to see Timothy's battered state and torn clothes. "Did Dexter escape?" Timothy pointed. "His legs did. The rest of him is right here." One of his men emerged as he dragged the unconscious Dexter over. The sight of his severed legs was gruesome, but the mission was accomplished. "You need treatment at the Wolfie troops

Felix's expression remained neutral when he heard the mention of Xena. He knew Nala must have been eavesdropping when he spoke about treating Lionel over the satellite phone. It was ridiculous. Did he need Nala's permission to interact with women now? "Fine." He took the phone as he was curious about Nala's game. Nala's voice came through after the call was connected, "I assume you only took this call because it concerns Xena, right?" Felix's tone was cold. "Since you know that, skip the small talk. We have nothing to discuss." He heard her breath quicken slightly before she continued. "Very well. Straight to the point. I have evidence of Xena's violations. Once reported and verified, she'll lose her position as the Phoenix Warlord." Felix furrowed his brows before letting out a short laugh. "Interesting. What's the deal here? Are you going to ask me to sleep with you, and you'll hand over the evidence?" "You... You scoundrel!" Nala was furious, and even Yvonne gaped in d

The bodies and limbs of the mall staff were trembling violently on the floor. When the two of them looked over again, the staff had all regrouped, rushing over once again.Were they indestructible like cockroaches? Felix and Esme began punching and kicking helplessly. Fortunately, they were both on solid ground. Otherwise, they would've tripped and fallen to their deaths.It took a bit of effort to finally disperse them all again. Having learned their lessons, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore and rushed up the stairs madly. Sure enough, the mall staff collected themselves and started moving much faster!It was coincidentally similar to the characteristics of Malevolent Phantoms. Was it just a coincidence or intentional? Felix pondered in his mind as they rushed through the emergency exit to the second floor with Esme. Finally, they reached the second floor of Orchard Square. The door behind them slammed shut—and there was pure silence. It was as if they were completely isolate
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1368
After closing the emergency door, the two finally stopped. "Are we safe?" Esme panted.After a moment of thought, Felix replied, "I think so. Then, I'll head back to grab our clothes."Esme immediately grabbed his arm. "Hey! You said you would listen to me. If you go back, can you guarantee to come back? I'm a woman, and even I don't care yet you're the one who can't let it go?"Anyone who saw them would've thought they were having an intense argument. But in fact, they were simply left with no choice."Besides, the second floor sells clothes. Why should we risk going back?"Felix rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "You're right. Okay, let's go." All of a sudden, the emergency door slammed open with a bang. A dozen of the mall staff rushed in. "Intruders! Intruders!"Without hesitation, the two of them ran upstairs. Esme stopped again after a few steps, confusion spread across her face."Do… Do they think they can catch us at that speed? I wonder what the guy controllin

Felix knew these were all illusions, but he still reacted because it looked too real. After speaking, the middle-aged man went downstairs. Esme glanced at Felix and motioned to follow him. She didn't want to alert the enemy and wanted to see what was happening first. They followed the middle-aged man down to the basement and pushed open the emergency door. They entered the basement of Orchard Square. It was a standard mall layout, after all. Felix saw two queues not too far away, but he didn't know what they were lining up for."Get in line. It'll be your turn soon." With that, the middle-aged man left. He clearly wasn't worried about Felix and Esme running away. The two of them looked at each other and Esme gave him a slight nod, intending to stay put. Felix immediately understood that there were too many people around.If a slight expression crossed his face, everyone would stare at him and he would be regarded as a foreign entity, let alone if he ran. Besides, if he moved, w

Just as Felix felt lost, a woman smiling at him from a jewelry shop nearby caught his eye. Her smile was faint, but in such an odd mall, it stood out even more. Otherwise, why would it catch Felix's eye?Her smile was fleeting, disappearing in mere seconds. If it lasted any longer, the people in the mall would probably turn to glare at him again. After seeing the woman turn around and walk away almost robotically, Felix quickly followed her at the same mechanical pace.She led him to an emergency stairwell and as Felix pushed through the door, she stood there waiting for him. "You've got the guts! Most people would've freaked out when they walked into this mall, but you seem quite calm," she said.Felix didn't know what the Black Soul Scout wanted with such an illusion, however, he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid of scaring them away. Besides, he could guess that the scout wasn't in the mall, otherwise, Donna would've sensed it."Who are you? What happened to Orchard Squ
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1365
According to Donna, there were three soul barriers in Orchard Square.The first one was a detection barrier, likely set up by the Black Soul Scout to avoid unnecessary trouble. It ensured that only ordinary people or martial artists could enter. Anyone who had cultivated their soul would disrupt the rules of this private paradise.The second barrier was an illusion-based one, directly affecting a person's soul to blur the line between reality and illusion.The third barrier was the most intriguing. It gathered some kind of energy from souls. Donna wasn't sure what exactly it was. The only way to find out was to step into the mall and investigate.Based on Felix's assessment, the third soul barrier was likely the true objective of Black Soul Scout. To uncover the truth and find the scout, he had no choice but to put himself at risk. There was no alternative.He was well aware that Hall of Souls knew everything about him. Even the lowest-ranked Blue Soul Envoys recognized his name.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1364
"The soul barrier is in place. Let's get this over with. If you two see me, it'll just make things even more awkward, so it's better to start right away," Billy muttered.Inside the villa, an invisible force swept over them. Felix felt something new within his soul. It was something subtle yet impossible to pinpoint. It stirred a strange restlessness deep inside him.Just as he was about to focus on figuring out what was happening, his body reacted. Before he could process it, Xena had already thrown herself into his arms."What's going on? I suddenly feel like I need to be close to you."She clung tightly to him, yet neither of them moved beyond that embrace. Under normal circumstances, things between a man and a woman wouldn't stop here. They would probably undo their clothes."Damn it! That bastard tricked me," Felix muttered.The moment Xena got close, Felix's restless energy reached its peak, making it clear that this was definitely Billy's doing.Time passed. He had no ide
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1363
The moment the topic came up, Felix's gaze flickered, avoiding direct eye contact. No matter how you put it, even though Xena would also benefit from it, it still felt somewhat unfair. It felt that way, especially since they weren't in a relationship. If they were married or at least dating, it wouldn't be an issue at all."I'm exhausted. I need another two days to rest," he said.Billy scoffed. "I know your soul energy is depleted, but trust me. Your fatigue will disappear instantly once your souls merge. The feeling is beyond words. I'm sure you've heard from the Malevolent Phantom how irresistible Soul Binding is, even for those who've already experienced love and passion."Wait, what? Felix was speechless. It seemed that there was really no way out of it."Oh, one last thing. After you and Xena… you know, your soul energy will be completely absorbed and stored away. That means you won't have any left to wield a soul-bound weapon or use any soul attacks. Are you sure you still
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1362
There was only one explanation—Felix really could heal soul damage."Of course, I healed him. Let me rest for a bit. Wake me up when the sun comes up."Felix was utterly exhausted. Even if an S-tier Malevolent Phantom appeared beside him, he couldn't be bothered to care. If Donna had truly wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no reason for her to wait until now.As Donna watched Felix slip into a deep sleep almost instantly, her expression grew more complex.What kind of ridiculous joke was that? Even though Leonardo was a crossbreed, his soul had already inherited the traits of a Malevolent Phantom. While it wasn't exactly the same as a true Malevolent Phantom, the essence of his soul had changed.And yet, Felix had still managed to heal him. If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Malevolent Phantom world to its core.It was like finding out that some miracle doctor could cure any disease in the human world. People would go absolutely crazy.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1361
Leonardo's body suddenly started convulsing, and with foam spilling from his mouth, even a fool could tell something had gone wrong.Damage to the soul was entirely different from physical injuries. If one got a cut, even without treatment, their body would eventually heal on its own. However, the soul wasn't like that. Any damage was permanent and had widespread consequences. Even if just a fraction of an inch of the soul was harmed, the physical reaction could be extreme.Felix let out a long breath. "Finally got it out. It sounds easy, but doing it was incredibly difficult. Even with my soul energy, I nearly couldn't hold on."The level of precision required to make such an impossibly fine cut was beyond imagination. To do it without causing any collateral damage would require soul energy beyond comprehension.Of course, Leonardo's soul had been damaged. There was no avoiding it."At least he's alive. You've done all you could," Donna said.However, Felix just smiled. "That'
