The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 803
Felix smiled wryly. Francis was the mystic from King Aurelius' court over two millennia ago, and his identity remained a mystery. If anything of his had survived until now, it would be among the rarest treasures imaginable. Finding such an item seemed impossible. "Let me ask around first." Felix's original plan had been to investigate and eliminate targets one by one. But Nala's data matched Luna's—there were over a hundred Steele members. They weren't just abroad but scattered across various Astorian cities. How could he hunt them all? After a few deaths, the Steeles would go into hiding for sure. Given their connection to Reagan, even a dog's death would warrant investigation. Once Astorian authorities got involved, complications would multiply. Felix was not confident he was invincible worldwide yet, and Reagan's true strength remained unknown. The situation could turn dangerous. He had rushed here from Dragonia because he was furious to see so many countrymen used as te
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 804
Nala was mysterious enough herself, coming from "that place". Her Shadow Mask alone was extraordinary. Perhaps she really could help. But truthfully, Felix wanted to avoid any further entanglement with her, even as a last resort. Yet the faces of his sleeping countrymen on that bus compelled him to dial her number. "Felix, how are you doing there?" Even Nala had not expected his call. "I'm here to ask about Francis Thane from King Aurelius' time. Can you get anything he left behind? Anything authentic will do, but preferably not martial art techniques." Felix was not foolish enough to strengthen the Shadowstalker Emperor and his shadowstalkers. He held no goodwill toward Astoria, after all. "Give me ten minutes." Nala's efficiency was impressive. She called back quickly. "I have something! It's a brush Francis once used, but it's an extraordinary one—even Oceanus Realm masters couldn't break it. "Don't worry. It's been studied extensively, and there's no hidden power. It'

Felix stopped in a clearing within the vast forest behind the Starfire residence. He had halted so abruptly because he sensed someone powerful tracking him, though he could not identify who. "Are you done running?" The voice reached him before its owner. An elderly man in white robes appeared 30 feet away, his ruddy face wearing a faint smile. "You're from Elders' Council, aren't you?" With such power and Dragonian features, it could not be anyone else. "Yes. We're old acquaintances in a way. Though this is our first meeting, you've survived our assassination attempts longer than anyone." Felix smiled. "I thought the Council just had extensive intelligence in Dragonia. It's impressive that you can track me abroad so quickly." He meant it sincerely. But the old man clasped his hands, smiling wider. "Thank you. Of course we can. Why else would a martial artist like me join an organization?" Having confirmed his identity, Felix cut to the chase. "What makes you think you alone

"Come on! Aren't you also a Blood Realm master? Let's have a friendly match!" Felix grinned, finding this old man more interesting than the previous ones sent after him. To his surprise, the old man frantically waved his hands after regaining consciousness. He rambled, "No, no. I won't fight you! Everyone knows you can fight above your level. Even though we're in the same realm, if we fight, I'm dead for sure."Felix scoffed. "As if not fighting would mean you're leaving here alive!"Suddenly, the old man stood straight and raised his right hand to the sky with a solemn expression. "I, Selmer Zink, swear to heaven that from this moment on, I quit Elders' Council and will follow Felix Zeller's lead. May lightning strike me if I break this oath!"What the hell? Felix was dumbfounded, wondering if things could really be this simple.He blurted out, "Are you pulling my leg?"Seeing Felix's irritation, Selmer spoke faster, "Sir, trust me. I've truly left Elders' Council. The Council

Felix looked up and squinted at the strange sight above. It really did seem like the moon had fallen from the sky. At first, it drifted slowly, but its speed had suddenly multiplied several times over."Interesting technique. Is that a sword move?"As Felix quipped, Selmer thrust out his palm, sending a silver light that dispersed into nothingness.Felix lightly stepped back several dozen yards. Almost instantly, a cold light swept through where he had been standing, completely enveloping Selmer. "Not a sword strike—it's an energy blade, and a skilled one at that," Felix noted. This attack targeting Selmer was far more powerful than Micah from the Starfires. Felix could hear an unfamiliar language roaring from the attacker's direction, distinctively Astorian, though he had no idea what they were saying. Then, another voice rang out—this one comprehensible. It confirmed something else. There was not just one attacker. There were two."Dragonians sure are bold! How dare you cau

Felix wanted to slap himself for being so cautious since arriving in Astoria, only to discover this was the level of the Shadowstalker Emperor. He finally understood that while warriors needed to be careful within Dragonian borders due to hidden masters, they could dominate freely once abroad."So, you're the damn Shadowstalker Emperor?" Felix could not help but laugh as he slapped Reagan across the face. Reagan dared not show any anger and just pleaded, "Please calm down, sir!"Within moments, Felix used the Soul Sealing Needle again, and both Reagan and his partner became as docile as kittens. "Listen well! From now on, if I hear about any families causing trouble in Dragonia, not only will they die, but you'll also suffer the same fate."Reagan gulped hard, terrified to his core. Though he had never heard of the Soul Sealing Needle, he felt its soul-crushing pain firsthand. He knew his life was at stake and quickly exclaimed, "I guarantee this will never happen again, sir!"

Felix was surprised that the Steele family was making the first move. He asked, "I thought the Starfires ranked above the Steele family. How dare they show up like this?"Micah explained, "That's what confuses us, too. It's just Mr. Ollie Steele from the Steele family. He's not even anyone important, yet he's acting so arrogantly. We've never seen anything like this."Felix headed inside without further questions, finally about to meet Ollie, who had been in charge of Gray City in Dragonia. Inside, he found Luna facing off against a sleazy-looking young man. "Ollie, you're being ridiculous!" Luna snapped.Ollie sneered, "Ridiculous? Luna, you used to have the right to say that, but now your family's fate is in our hands. Why act so pure in front of me?"He reached out his hand and added, "Spend one night with me, and I'll make sure your family is treated well." Luna slapped his hand away and stood up, her presence still commanding. "I'd like to see what gives the Steele family

"Mr. Steele!" The six Steele family guards tried to rush forward, but Selmer stopped them.He flashed a sinister smile and clicked his tongue. "My, my! Still trying to make a move on us?"With several sharp cracks, all six collapsed with broken necks, shocking both Luna and Micah."H-How dare you kill my men and humiliate me! Felix, Luna, you're both going to pay for this!" Ollie shouted.Luna panicked. "Dr. Zeller, you've gone too far! There's no fixing this now!"Felix remained unfazed. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of the Shadowstalker Emperor's decree?" Luna thought Felix was out of his mind for stating the obvious. If it were not for the decree, she would have already taken things into her own hands.Felix called out, "Selmer, contact him."Selmer immediately initiated a video call, which was quickly answered by the other party."Selmer, is there anything I can help with?" came a familiar voice. Ollie, Luna, and Micah all recognized it immediately. Felix as

Felix, hiding behind a tree, frowned. He was a Celestial Realm fighter, while the lady was just an Extreme Mastery martial artist. There was no way she could've discovered where he was. Even if he was also an Extreme Mastery martial artist, he was confident that he'd be undiscoverable, let alone when he was a Celestial Realm fighter. However, the lady was facing Felix's direction. Was it just a coincidence or her attempt to bluff the two young men?"Huh?" One of the young men glanced in the same direction and chuckled coldly. "Are you having hallucinations before you die? How do you figure that someone would show up and save your skin?"Even if there is really someone here, no one would want to poke their nose into your business."The young man had spoken the truth. They were all in the middle of the preliminary rounds, and everyone put their self-interest at the forefront. No one would gain anything by helping out the lady.One of the young men was an Extreme Mastery martial a
Chapter 1580
The lady had just run for over 50 feet when her body trembled, and she fell to the forest floor. Felix shook his head. He had no reason to let her off the hook, especially when she tried to kill him a minute ago. He didn't strike because he sensed something darting through the thickets. Judging by its aura, it was an Extreme Mastery demonic beast. Moreover, it was so small that he couldn't even detect what it was. There was simply no way the lady would've made it out of here alive. Felix waited quietly for the demonic beast to attack him. To his surprise, he realized that it had disappeared. Was it because it sensed that he was a force to reckon with?In any case, Felix chose to leave now. The preliminary rounds had just begun, and he already had front-row seats to the flagrant display of individualism. Everything was a scam. Almost every opponent wanted to eliminate the people who came in their way. That was why many principles and codes had to be discarded in this place. O

A two-headed wolf was pursuing the lady. Based on its terrifying aura, it was as powerful as a Heavenly Realm martial artist. No one knew where Star Alliance had gotten these fearsome demonic beasts. Felix had just slain an Earthly Realm demonic beast, and now he encountered a Heavenly Realm demonic beast. The lady gave him a sympathetic look, hoping he would rescue her, and that was what happened. He sprang into action, charged at the two-headed wolf, and struck it with his fist. The two-headed wolf flew sideways and crashed into a tree trunk. Then, it fell to the ground, quiet and limp. It seemed there was more to the trees than met the eye. Not only did they survive the force behind Felix's attack, but there wasn't even a dent on it. How terrifying. About 50 feet away, the two-headed wolf's flesh swiftly decayed, just like the other demonic beast's had. Obviously, the contestants didn't have to stand next to the demonic beasts they slayed for their Starmarks to absorb th

If Felix behaved like a scaredy cat in the Rank-Ascending Competition, he would definitely lose it. "Will she take revenge on me if I reject her?" Felix askedJulius chuckled. "Looks like you've made up your mind. Chelsea is a cold and aloof person, and she doesn't really interact with people. However, she isn't so petty that she will bear a grudge against someone just because she was rejected.""That's great, then," Felix thought to himself. He felt bitter too, and it wasn't because of fear. It was just that he had to deal with Star Alliance's arrangement and keep his guard up against the Orion family's shady tricks. Both of these were taxing enough for him. If he had to face Chelsea as well, it would be too much for him. That said, Felix had to give it to Chelsea for being punctual. She showed up at the same time the next day."Have you thought it over?" she asked.Felix responded, "I'm sorry, but I can't reveal my mobility technique to you."Chelsea turned around and le
Chapter 1577
The lady must've gotten a screw loose or something. Martial arts practice, combat techniques, and mobility techniques were private secrets that nobody would possibly reveal. How could she just ask for it as if it wasn't a big deal?Fortunately, Felix was patient and good-tempered. Moreover, the authorities had zero tolerance for all forms of fighting at this place. Otherwise, he just might've slapped her right where she stood."Excuse me, but I refused to divulge this information," Felix said.The lady frowned and shot Felix a look as if he was the one who didn't know what was good for him. "You are friends with Julius. That means you probably know that the Orion family intended to take you out of the picture. "The preliminary rounds were the only chance they had to cheat within the boundaries of the rules. Do you actually think you'll be alive to compete in it and prevail? "Just tell me your mobility technique, and I can guarantee that you'll make it through in one piece. But

There was still a big gap between Felix and the Minotaur after he initiated Lone Paragon, but it would at least give him a fighting chance. "A Celestial Realm Minotaur, huh? Great. You'll be the force that propels me to greater heights."…Three days came and went. Julius and Xenon were in a massage parlor, enjoying its top-notch service. "Geez. It looks like Felix really did go away to cultivate and hone his skills." Julius knew why Xenon said what he said. If a Minotaur had died, blood would streak down the gate of the Prison of Blood. That was usually the telltale sign.When all kinds of realms existed, the gate had never been clean because blood constantly flowed down it. Now, however, it had become a rare phenomenon. They had arranged their men to keep an eye on the gate. Naturally, they were certain that the Minotaurs were still alive and well. "I've finally understood something. Felix came from Earth, the savage planet. It was very impressive how he cut down all ene
Chapter 1575
Julius was speechless because Felix didn't seem to be joking—he looked serious."Hey! Are you even listening to me? The lowest level ones in there are Celestial Realm Minotaurs. Are you sure you want to go in and suffer? If you really are killed by Minotaurs, no one will rescue you."Felix laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I have techniques that can go against opponents like the Minotaurs. While there's still time, I'll practice well."And just like that, Felix directly entered the Prison of Blood. Julius was speechless. They weren't close, so it wasn't his place to comment. Soon, the news of Felix entering the Prison of Blood spread, and everyone who had arrived here got the news. "Entering the Prison of Blood? Are you trying to prove yourself, or are you trying to pressure me?" Lachlan muttered to himself. His expression was calm, and even his gaze didn't falter."Even if he could really kill Celestial Realm Minotaurs, so what? After all, they're merely beasts wit

"The Aetherium Realm? With the breakthrough from Aquamarinus, that guy seemed to have the potential to win." Yusri sneered."Hahaha! So what? The preliminary round is going to be his grave. He dared to massacre my bloodline, so even if the Earth was destroyed, what would it have to do with me?"…An hour later, Julius was dragged somewhere in the yard by Felix. "What is this place for? Why didn't the guide tell me about this?" Felix asked.Not far ahead, there stood a huge iron door. Felix didn't know what was inside, but there was a sign hanging above the entrance that read, "The Prison of Blood".Julius smacked his forehead. "I forgot to tell you! I knew you would see this sooner or later, but the Prison of Blood isn't a good place. You should stay far away from it."Felix rolled his eyes and pulled him along. "Do you think this is a good place? Tell me about it."Julius could only helplessly continue, "An elder of Star Alliance created the Prison of Blood. The prisoners ins

Felix frowned. It seemed like the Orions were really going all out this time."Was it very serious?" he asked.Yusri nodded solemnly. "Yes, they crossed the line this time and are on thin ice with the rules. You should know that the Orions are determined to invade Earth this time. If they lose the competition, they will fall in the rankings. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they're desperate…"With that, Yusri said, "There are many things I can't tell you. Otherwise, I'll be going against the rules. But I wanted to ask, what realm have you reached in your soul cultivation?"Despite coming from the same planet, there was no way Felix could completely trust him. He replied immediately, "The Aetherium Realm."The expression on Yusri's face changed, and then he burst out laughing."The Aetherium Realm! Felix, you're such a surprise. I don't need to ask about your martial strength. I can feel that you've practiced the Dragons Destroyer, which means you've reached Extreme Mas
