The clinic fell completely silent. No one expected Ronan to make such a move, and judging by his expression, it seemed like he was deadly serious.Billy started clapping, laughing out loud. "Good news! This is great news!"Melissa smacked him on his back immediately. "Are you out of your mind, fatso?"With an annoyed glance at Ronan, Melissa turned and ran off as she was genuinely startled."Wait, my wife! Don't leave! You're supposed to come home and have kids with me!"Ronan started to chase after her, but Felix stopped him. Wearing an ugly expression, he asked, "Is this how you pursue a woman?"Ronan, looking dumbfounded, didn't know what to say."Where did you find this kid?" Nala asked.Hearing that, Felix's expression darkened even more."I didn't actively search for him, alright? I had no idea he was going to pull something like this. Go check on Melissa."A few minutes later, only Felix and Ronan were left in the clinic."That's my sister Melissa. I didn't have the

There was suddenly silence on the other end of the line. Felix thought it was because of a bad signal and was about to speak when a much fiercer voice came through, "What? You're the apprentice of the respected elder? Wow, that's an honor! "Don't worry, my future in-law. I guarantee my grandson will pursue your sister with all his heart. I swear, I won't lie to you. If this rascal isn't worthy, he wouldn't dare to force it."Respected elder? This was the first time Felix had heard someone refer to Gerald like that, so it felt a little strange."Are you sure?""Absolutely. Please pass the phone to my grandson, I need to give him a serious talking-to."Before handing over the phone, Felix asked who the old man was. The only answer he got was "Warlock", which he had never heard of.…Four days passed quickly. Despite the upcoming Dragonia Martial Arts Competition, Felix was not affected at all. He still went to the clinic every day, though he still hadn't had a single patient.

Felix and his friends gathered in a luxurious private room at an upscale restaurant in Yartford that night."Everybody, please try the pasta. I hired professional chefs to cook it for all of you."Madeline called a group of waiters over. Her pasta was renowned for being delicious. After tasting it, Melissa, who loved eating pasta and fondue, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It tastes great, Maddy. When are you going to open a franchise in Gray City? I'll miss this terribly."Madeline smiled. "Since you said that, I'll open one soon."Though Ronan looked like a simple and honest person, he was actually pretty quick-witted. So, he swiftly said, "Can you teach me how to cook it, Maddy? If Melissa craves it in the future, I can cook that for her."Hearing that, Felix replied, "Shut up! That is Maddy's secret recipe. How could she give it to you? Let's drink instead."Realizing that Jack was drinking juice, Felix asked, "Are you a woman, Jack? Do you have that 'time of the month' when y

At 11:00 pm, they finished their dinner. Jack drove Ronan and Felix to the banquet hall. "Rest well, Felix. Leave everything to me!"Ronan had been dragged into the car by Melissa. The latter threatened to break up with him if he made Felix fight this time. "Okay," Felix replied. To be honest, he was a little drunk. The liquor was bought by Ryan and was made using a secret technique, so it was very valuable. Apparently, even powerful martial artists would be a little drunk after drinking it, so its authenticity was confirmed. Once they arrived at the place, they saw a large restaurant on Yartford's outskirts.It wasn't a coincidence that Ocean Whit chose this place. Since many experts were arriving there, they would be fighting a lot, and fighting wasn't allowed in the central area of Yartford. When the three men got out of the car, a muscular man at the entrance said, "If you can make me retreat without getting me injured, you can enter the banquet."That was probably the

Milo's gaze turned indifferent. Raising her scabbard, she warned, "I told you to leave!"Hearing that, Ronan anxiously asked, "What are you doing, Milo? They are my friends."Sneering, Milo looked at Felix and Jack disdainfully. "Are you really his friends? Ronan may be naive, but I know what you two are thinking. You probably want him to do something bad for you. Had we not met, it would've been fine. But since we did, I have to care about him."Are you leaving or not?"Meanwhile, Felix frowned. He couldn't even take a small nap. It was frustrating. "Can you tell her to shut up, Ronan?"Hearing that, Ronan was scared senseless. He pulled Milo over and said, "Stop meddling in my affairs, Milo. I know I'm naive, and you probably said that because you care for me. But they won't trick me."He had known Milo since they were young. So, he realized that the latter was looking at him distrustfully and hurriedly whispered, "His younger sister is going to be my wife soon. Do you understa
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 904
Both Ocean and Aiden were powerful and from influential families. After realizing that the Martial Arts Competition would take place, they privately won over the favor of a few young martial arts masters. They wanted to eliminate the useless martial artists during the competition and make them withdraw once they saw both of them. This was to save time. So, a while later, a muscular man approached Felix and crossed his arms. He said coldly, "Do you dare to fight with me? I don't think you're qualified to sit here."Hearing that, everyone looked over. They knew that something dramatic was about to happen. Fights were common in the banquet, so long as no one died in the process. However, Felix continued snoring. When they noticed that, a few people didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They wondered who Felix was and why he was sleeping there.As expected, the muscular man was infuriated. Just when he was about to attack, Ronan stopped him. "How can you disturb Felix's sleep? L

No one took this guy, who dared not show his face, seriously. Some people present were even laughing at him.However, when his intimidating presence blanketed the entire yard, their expressions shifted, and fear started growing in their hearts. "He's in the Boneforging Realm!" someone yelled in shock, fear finally consuming him. What did being in Boneforging Realm imply? This was a major realm after True Blood Realm. Few in the older generation of cultivators had reached this stage. This was a Realm that could only be reached by a martial artist who had progressed onto forging his bones after having purified every single drop of blood in his body. It was certain that he would be extremely powerful. Everyone present was still young. Even if they were gifted, there was no way they could battle against a powerful cultivator in Boneforging Realm. Aiden remained calm, though. He said with a laugh, "I think you've probably lived in some cave for too long, old man. We're in Yartfor
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 906
Just as Ocean's reassuring efforts started to work, Jack vomited blood. Not just him, but so did the regular citizens here, such as all the waiting staff in the yard. "Crap!" Felix stopped quickly. Only then did he remember that regular folks were also present. The martial artists could still resist the effects of the poison somewhat, but the ordinary citizens not versed in the martial arts didn't have a chance. Based on his brief resistance against the poison, he could confirm that an ordinary citizen would die within one minute. How could he watch his best friend die just like that?"Anyone with silver needles on hand? Take them out!"With a flick of Felix's hand, all his needles flew toward all directions. Even so, only half of the regular people present were rescued. The others collapsed onto the floor in agony. "Am I going to die, Felix?" Jack stared at his blood on the ground, his face frozen in disbelief."Shut up! As if I'd let you die!"Milo rushed over to ask Felix,

Felix thought Milo's explanation made sense. They chatted for a little while longer before Milo left Notura City.After she was gone, Felix sat at home, deep in thought. Since the Malevolent Phantoms's hunting ground was clearly hotels, maybe Eddy could actually be useful. Felix could not be everywhere at once, and without any pattern to the Malevolent Phantoms's hotel selection—even small motels had been targeted—there were simply too many places to cover.He mumbled, "It looks like it's time to implement my plan. I need a job that allows me to work in hotels."The only job that came to mind was food delivery. Delivery drivers had access to hotels, motels, and inns across the city without raising suspicion.Just as Felix was stepping out, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. Confused, he answered."Hello, sir," said the voice on the other end. "This is about the payment you made last night at the barbecue stand. There seems to be an issue. Could you come by for

Eddy froze, completely thrown off by the question. However, he did not dare delay, quickly responding, "Mr. Bennett, wasn't it half a million dollars?"Draco let out a cold snort. "Pathetic. You're so short-sighted. I know exactly what happened."That stranger forked over half a million to buy Suzie's freedom—someone willing to pay that much without hesitation definitely has more. And you just handed over the contract without trying to squeeze a single extra dime out of him? What a damn waste."So that was what this was about. Eddy was even more confused now—if they demanded more, he figured Felix would realize what they were doing. Plus, Suzie knew the exact amount of the debt."Tomorrow, take some guys and bring Suzie back," Draco ordered, his tone sharp. "That kid's a walking goldmine. I want to see how much more we can milk out of that rich idiot."Eddy's stomach twisted with unease. Summoning some courage, he said, "Mr. Bennett, that guy dropped half a million without blinkin

As soon as Milo left, Suzie hesitated for a moment before speaking nervously. "I'm sorry, sir. Did I make your girlfriend misunderstand? I can explain everything to her if you want."She had only caught a few glimpses of Milo but already felt completely out of place. With that kind of beauty and presence, Milo was the kind of woman who could leave others breathless—maybe only someone like her was truly worthy of a good man like Felix.Felix replied, "It's fine. Besides, she's not my girlfriend."A few minutes later, the guy with Eddy showed up, perfectly embodying the phrase "money talks". His eager, bootlicking smile was not fake—it was the real deal."Sir, is Suzie refusing to cooperate?" he asked, shooting Suzie a nasty glare. If Felix had not been there, he probably would have gone straight to roughing her up.Felix replied, "No. Suzie told me she owes you guys money. With the interest, it's up to half a million now, right? I already paid 200 thousand—I'll cover the remaining

Felix was irritated—after all, who would not be with a gun pointed at their head? Of course, for most people, the feeling would be sheer terror.Still, he did not act recklessly. In Dragonia, guns were mostly carried by law enforcement, and he did not want to risk harming an undercover officer by mistake. To his surprise, the person holding the gun was Milo. He remembered her well from the days of the Martial Arts Competition—she was a close friend of Ronan's.He blurted out, "Milo?"Milo closed the door and lowered the gun, her expression as calm as ever. She wore simple jeans and a T-shirt, and the sword she was once known for was nowhere in sight."Never thought our first meeting after your return would be under circumstances like this," he added.Once Milo confirmed that it was Felix, she let out a small sigh and stated, "Ronan—" Felix raised a hand to cut her off. "Don't worry about Ronan. I promise he'll come back safe in a year. He's with my sister now. Other than losin

The man shouted, "Take her!"Felix stood to the side, looking a bit helpless. Suzie's kind gesture made him feel somewhat guilty, so he spoke up without hesitation. "How much for her first time?"The man with green hair chuckled. "You're just a broke loser who eats street food. Dreaming about playing with a beauty like her? Get lost."Felix retorted, "How much? What if I can actually pay?"The green-haired man sneered, though curiosity flickered in his eyes. "100 thousand dollars! Now get the hell out."Felix calmly pulled out his phone. "How much to buy her freedom completely?"The man's smile instantly vanished. The next second, he grabbed Felix by the collar, shoving him back as he snarled, "You just can't take a hint, can you? You really want to get your face smashed in?"Felix's expression remained unfazed. In his eyes, problems that could be solved with money were not real problems."I'll pay 200 thousand dollars for her first time. Give me your account number, and I'll

Billy was clearly in too much of a hurry. He blurted out, "It's a coincidence! Pure coincidence! Here—I'm not gonna take advantage of you for nothing. Take this book and study it. It'll give you a solid foundation in soul-related knowledge."With that, Billy tossed a worn, coverless book onto the table and bolted like a madman, as if the Phaeron Codex might vanish if he did not get there in time.Felix still had his doubts, but his curiosity shifted toward the book. He sat down, opened it, and began reading.It did not take long for him to realize he had struck gold. The book's contents revealed the mysteries of the soul with stunning clarity, finally pulling him out of the dark."Wait... there are so many levels when it comes to the soul? Did I just jump straight to the higher ranks?"With the successful formation of his Ethereal Constitution, his soul had already surpassed most who spent years training. Even those with natural talent would struggle to reach this stage so quickly

Just as Sarah had observed, Felix had already adjusted his mindset. Thinking about things within his grasp was fine, but obsessing over matters beyond his control would be nothing short of foolish.As night fell, Felix arrived in Notura City. With the rising number of disappearances and deaths here, he figured it would not be solved in just a day or two. This time, he would need a bit of luck.Opening a clinic would work. After all, spending all day in one place would make it impossible to stumble upon anything.Since his Ethereal Constitution had been successfully formed, he did not need to train deliberately, and the Phaeron Codex was progressing steadily on its own. So, with plenty of free time, Felix decided to find a more flexible job. Wandering the streets or aimlessly driving around would not get him far.Before long, Felix arrived at the three-story villa Xena had arranged in a quiet neighborhood. After punching in the code and stepping inside, he called out."Finally! I c

Curiosity was a natural instinct, and Felix was no exception—especially when it came to the Ancient Sage, who had lived for so many years and bore such a striking resemblance to Gerald. Sarah said, "I can tell you with absolute certainty—the Ancient Sage is not Gerald.""What?" Felix had braced himself for any revelation, but this still hit like a punch to the gut. The shock flooded through him, leaving him speechless as he stood frozen on the spot.Sarah continued, "Forget it. Maybe I was overthinking before. You've made it to Martial City and become a Grandmaster all on your own, completing that impossible task. I guess your mental resilience is stronger than I thought, so knowing this early might not be a bad thing after all."She tapped her fingers lightly against her back, her gaze distant with memories."That guy who came after you just now—Ashton—is one of the Ancient Sage's Eight Guardians. Those eight have served him for years, practically his right and left hands.""A

Ashton extended his right hand, and a strange cube materialized in his palm. The object's surface was made up of interlocking squares that shifted and rearranged themselves like a Rubik's Cube in motion.Felix could not quite tell if it was a pseudo-magical artifact or a magical treasure. He had never seen a genuine magical treasure before—except for that old photograph of the Ancient Sage that his mother claimed was one. Yet, that picture had never emitted any sort of energy, leaving Felix unsure of what the real thing might feel like.Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice cut through the tension. "That cube is a true magical treasure. If he activates it, your life will be in danger."Felix's eyes widened. He spun around, heart racing as he exclaimed, "Madam Spring?"Sarah was not one of the people he expected to encounter tonight. Ashton sighed. "Are you here to protect him?"Felix was just as shocked when Ashton responded, apparently knowing her too. Ashton immediately retracted the
