The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 820
"Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first—just testing, mind you, nothing lethal," Meredith instructed.Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."…At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now. "While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends."Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters. "You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger h

While looking into those bright eyes, Felix, who intended to brush things off, finally admitted it. "Yes, it's me."Xena waved her hand dismissively, silently telling him to leave.Felix couldn't figure out what was going on in Xena's mind. He didn't know if Willow's letter affected her.For some reason, Felix felt a sense of relief. He had done what he could—the rest didn't matter.By the time he returned to Gray City, night had fallen. Nala greeted him, "Welcome back. Come eat."The timing was perfect, and Felix didn't question it since he was hungry. "Thank you."After finishing his meal, Felix stopped Nala from doing the dishes. "You gave up everything to be with me. Is it truly out of love?"Nala thought for a moment. "Not entirely. At the very least, I do care about you."Nala was being genuine, that was if she ignored Felix's abilities and his overly protective mother.However, Felix shook his head. "You don't even dare to show me your face. You should leave. There's no

"There is a way. That woman told me that if I could find a husband to defeat her brother, she'd give me the antidote. The only condition is that my husband cannot be from our place," Nala explained.Felix understood everything. "Is that why you targeted me? Did you think I could win the antidote for you?"Nala nodded. "Yes. I didn't think much of anyone from this part of town before. But then you appeared and won my heart."Felix studied her carefully. "Here's the deal. I'll ask for your help if I ever need it. In return, I'll defeat her brother as your husband and get you the antidote. After that, we'll be even."Though Nala was excited, she felt her heart clench. "Is that it? Can't we go further in our relationship?"Judging by his gaze, she knew it wasn't because of her appearance."At least for now, it's not possible. I'm going to bed." Felix waved her off.The next day, Nala went to the clinic early. Felix, who slept in until past 9:00 am, was startled to find Averill besid

When Felix arrived at the clinic, he saw a teenage girl sitting nervously while Melissa tried talking with her.The girl was simply dressed and seemed incredibly shy."I'm Felix Zeller. Are you looking for me?" he asked curiously. He had never seen this girl before and was even more confused about who her sister might be.When she heard his name, the girl shot to her feet, flustered. "Hello, Felix."Felix tried to appear as kind and approachable as possible. "Don't be nervous. What's your sister's name? How does she know me?"The girl seemed to struggle with her words and finally pulled out her phone to play a video. "Hello, future brother-in-law. Tammy is an acquaintance. If she's ever in trouble, please lend her a hand. I'm not around anymore."Cynthia? Felix was speechless. He had never expected that the sister Tammy referred to would be Cynthia."I do know Cynthia. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you." It didn't matter to Felix where Cynthia was from. She had helped him

Tammy's grandmother, Gloria Locke, asked nervously, "Is… is Tammy not doing well in school?" Felix smiled. "Not at all! Tammy is doing great. I'm just here for a visit. Please don't worry."After chatting for a while, Felix excused himself and went downstairs. According to Tammy, the people threatening them had told them to leave today, or they would take drastic measures."Go back upstairs, Tammy. I'll handle the rest. I promise they won't disturb you and your grandma again," Felix promised.Tammy was moved by his actions and thanked him."I meant what I said earlier. If you get into college, I'll sponsor you with a hundred thousand dollars a year until you graduate." Felix smiled.Felix admired Tammy's resilience. He was cautious not to give her too much money all at once, fearing it might spoil her. He planned to continue supporting her once she entered the workforce."Thank you, Felix. I'll work hard!" Tammy planned to skip college, telling Gloria she failed the entrance e

Billy grinned and pointed at himself. "What's the matter? Are you mesmerized by me? Or do you know me?"After taking a deep breath, Selmer forced a smile and waved it off. "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."Once Billy left, Felix turned to Selmer. "What was that about? Did you mistake him for someone else?"Selmer's expression was a mix of shock and fear. Only a few people could get such a reaction from Selmer, someone close to achieving Blood Realm.Selmer clenched his teeth. "Here's the thing, Mr. Zeller. 50 years ago, I was injured and fleeing through a forest. That's when I stumbled upon a fight between two people. No, you can't even call it a fight since it ended in the blink of an eye. The old man was instantly killed by a young man."Felix chuckled at the story. "You're not about to tell me that young man was Billy, are you?"Selmer nodded. "Yes! At least, he looked exactly like Billy. They have the same face and build."Felix's eyes sparkled with interest. He trust

"Interesting. Where did you learn that?" Billy asked.Felix recalled hearing about it from Nala while in Astoria. How could he forget? "You're not pulling my leg, right?"Billy was annoyed. "I never lie! Well… except for that time with Queenie when she paid me extra. Anyway, this harmonica is a genuine artifact. So, do you want it?"Felix extended a finger toward the harmonica. "I owe you one." "Two favors," Billy countered. "One," Felix insisted."Deal!" Billy huffed.As Felix fiddled with the harmonica, he asked, "Do I just play it?""First, you need to perform a blood-binding ritual. Once the artifact gets your blood, it will merge into your body, and you can use it as naturally as your own hands."Felix felt his excitement grow. This was the first time he had encountered something out of a fantasy novel. This artifact worked with a blood-binding ritual, unlike the Dragonspine, which required the Dragons Destroyer.Felix pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall

Felix eagerly took the item from Leslie and saw it was a medical book. "Was Mr. Hoffman keeping this from me?" Felix cursed at his stingy mentor."Why are all the pages blank?" He flipped through the book, only to find it empty. "Mr. Hoffman said you need to bind it with your blood to access its contents," Leslie explained. Felix's excitement grew. If it required a blood-binding ritual, it had to be something extraordinary. He pricked his finger and dripped blood onto the book. Like the harmonica, the book vanished and became one with his body.Felix quickly scanned the book's contents. Within moments, he was engrossed, oblivious to Leslie speaking beside him. "Felix, do you want me to massage your legs? You used to enjoy it when I did that for you."After some time, Felix felt something unusual and opened his eyes. To his surprise, Leslie's face was flushed red, and her hands were placed somewhere… less than appropriate."Leslie, weren't you supposed to be massaging my le

"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t
Chapter 1559
With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual

The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc

The next morning, Felix rushed back to Innswood Village. Just as he arrived, the Flame Monarch brought people to the Green King's Manor."Joaquin is dead?"The Green King quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. The content of my letter is true. I wonder if you still remember that doctor, Felix Zeller?"The Flame Monarch rubbed his chin, and a man appeared in his mind. "Of course, I do!" Then, he burst into laughter. "I didn't expect him to hide so much strength that you aren't even worthy of being his opponent."The Green King looked a little unwilling. "We only exchanged a few moves. If it had been a true fight, the winner would be uncertain. I only let him go because I was worried the entire Cloud City would be affected."A smile appeared on the Flame Monarch's face. He seemed to find this amusing. "How interesting. A doctor suddenly seemed to have gained the strength of an Earthly Realm martial artist. It seems like he has a lot of secrets!"Are you sure he went back to Innswood
Chapter 1553
No one dared to stop Felix from leaving. After all, they all saw how Joaquin died. If the Green King didn't make a move, who else could?Everyone in the yard stayed silent even after Felix disappeared, especially the Green King. He couldn't believe that a doctor had surpassed even himself! That was simply incredible!He was in Earthly Realm. How many people on Aquamarinus had even reached Earthly Realm? Taking Felix's age into account, it was simply unbelievable."Your Excellency…" Dave spoke up first, and the Green King immediately snapped back into reality. He walked out with a dark expression without another word."Dad, is there a chance that Felix can survive?" Ginny suddenly asked. Gras shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't know… At their level, it'll be like a fight between gods. Let's head back."A fight between gods? Ginny sighed. That truly seemed to be the case. Who could've thought that Felix was this amazing?…As night fell, Felix was in a room of an inn
Chapter 1552
Gras and the rest breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Green King intended to protect Felix. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question. After all, it all happened in Innswood Village, with no eyewitnesses.As long as Felix denied it, it would be impossible to trace. However, Felix nodded. "Yeah, I killed Caesar. He massacred over 200 people in Innswood Village. Doesn't he deserve to die?"The answer caught everyone off guard, but Joaquin gritted his teeth in anger. "How brave of you to admit it!"To be honest, even he wasn't expecting Felix to admit it. Everyone had clearly heard it, so it would be impossible for him to argue.The Green King looked helpless. Was Felix just incredibly stubborn? It was clear he was trying to help. Could Felix not see it?"Dave, take Felix away! We'll wait for the Flame Monarch to decide his fate."A member of the Royal Guards had been killed, and Felix admitted to killing him. No matter what strength Felix had hidden, it was no l
