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

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 had never felt so powerless before. The hope in everyone's eyes was an indescribably heavy mountain weighing on his shoulders. "You've done your best, Felix. So, don't put the blame on yourself." Jack smiled. He knew Felix better than everyone else. It wasn't that Felix didn't want to save everyone. It was that he couldn't.The masked man had risked his life to kill them. Felix would never believe that this wasn't related to the Martial Arts Competition.He had never expected to fall victim to this poison, too, not when he was already extremely powerful. From this, it was clear how valuable this poison was. The masked man must have been sure that this could kill all the young martial artists here. Suddenly, inspiration flashed in his mind. Felix fished out his phone and called Selmer. "Bring the alchemy furnace here as soon as possible!"Felix had brought with him to Yartford one of the two furnaces he owned for sudden emergencies. Little did he know it would really come i

The arrival of the best master healer in the country reignited Aiden's and everyone else's hope that they could survive this. Due to the magnitude of the situation, Lemuel didn't reminisce about the past with the other healers present. He picked a random person and started taking his pulse. After one minute, he stood up. "Can an antidote be made, Mr. Morris?" asked Hector, who felt a headache coming on. If this situation wasn't dealt with well, devastating consequences were sure to come. If these people had really died, the headquarters would certainly be blamed, as they were the organizer of the Martial Arts Competition. Who would want to shoulder the blame when the time came?"This is the Blightbane Poison. I read about it in a medical book once. It was concocted by a highly skilled practitioner of medicine from the last dynasty. According to the book, even the inventor himself has not formulated an antidote for it."What? A poison from the previous dynasty? "And this is wh
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 909
Felix's guess had been correct. Where did the pill recorded in the medical book that Gerald gave him come from? It was the most basic antidote pill. Yet, it was enough to counteract the Blightbane Poison that had everyone at their wit's end. It was unbelievable."Can you come over, Mr. Hoffman? We can hold out for 24 hours," Felix asked just in case. It would make things easier if Gerald could come."You damn brat! Are you sure you're my student? First of all, I can't make it back in 24 hours. Secondly, even if I could, why should I? Whether those people live or die has nothing to do with me. Goodbye!"Felix smiled bitterly. He had forgotten how Gerald had long since been disillusioned by humanity's greed. To him, saving lives and healing the wounded was nothing but drivel.As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed that all eyes were on him. It was plain to see that he remained everyone's greatest hope."It should work, but I can't guarantee it. I'll just have to do my best."The

"I know you have something that can counteract this poison, Nala. Name your price," Aiden's voice suddenly rang out, prompting Nala to sneer."Then, would you be willing to die for it?"After a brief silence, Aiden's tone grew much colder. "So, you intend to tie yourself to Felix. It's true that I can't touch you. But that doesn't mean Felix is off limits."Nala glanced over at Aiden, who was sitting cross-legged a distance away, and responded, "You and Felix are both prodigies, but do you know what sets the two of you apart? "One of you can set aside your hatred to fight with everything you have to save lives, while the other is still talking about killing. That reason alone is why you'll never measure up to him!"Time kept passing on, and the tension continued to escalate. They waited from nightfall till dawn. Now with the sun setting again, everyone began to panic."Mr. Morris, there's only one hour left. What do we do now?"Silas looked at the nearly exhausted Lemuel and gr

Not far from the courtyard, Mira smiled softly as she pulled out her phone."Is the result out?""Yes, Mr. Hoffman. Felix succeeded.""Wait. What?" Gerald was quite shocked."That's impossible! His pill-forming rate is far too low. It's only been 11 or 12 hours. How could he have crafted over 60 antidote pills? Even if they're just the most basic kind."Mira resigned as she sighed. "Mr. Hoffman, he's your apprentice. If you don't have confidence in him, shouldn't you at least trust your own judgment?"Gerald chuckled. "It seems you all know how to butter up an old man like me. Much better at it than Felix—his social skills are practically nonexistent, but it looks like he really does have a talent for pill cultivation, after all. I've never been wrong about my judgment. "Alright. I'm hanging up now."Glancing at the courtyard ahead, Mira patted the small bag she was carrying.Gerald always loved to act tough, but the fact that he sent her rushing here overnight said it all.

It would be a lie to say that Lachlan wasn't surprised when he saw Felix. As an Orion, of course, he was aware of the entire situation.Felix was sent to Aquamarinus, a planet that was known for its deadliness.Even a genius would most likely die there. However, Felix succeeded in breaking through. Although his strength had been confirmed indirectly, Lachlan didn't take it seriously. He even told his family that there was no need to cheat.As long as he was there, Felix wouldn't be able to pass his level. Felix sneered, but didn't respond. They just met, and they were already mortal enemies. If they had a chance, they would've killed one another. So why should they even attempt to be civil?"Julius, nothing has happened yet, and you're already kissing his ass?" Lachlan laughed mockingly. Felix stayed silent, so Lachlan couldn't be bothered to mock him. Instead, Lachlan turned to Julius, who smiled."I don't need to report everything I do to you, Lachlan. Just worry about yours
Chapter 1568
This was something Felix hadn't thought of. The Orions had been too arrogant and thought their people could kill him, but they didn't anticipate the special conditions on Aquamarinus at night. If it wasn't due to that, Felix wasn't sure if he would still be alive now."Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked.Julius looked at him oddly. "My family, the Leachs, are on par with the Orions and developing fast. We don't want any conflicts with you or Earth, so tell me, why wouldn't I make friends with a strong man like you?"Since you can break out of Aquamarinus, you have the qualifications to win. At least for now, the champions of the elimination rounds in the Rank-Ascending Competition are extraordinary people."He continued, "I'm just offering help now. Once you succeed in the future, you can help me, right? I have nothing to lose, so why not try?"Felix understood his reasons. In this case, he was completely alone, and making acquaintances with the Leachs was good."How hard

As soon as Julius entered, Felix turned on the soundproof barrier and asked impatiently, "How do you know I'm from Earth?"Everyone here was a stranger, and the distance between each of their hometowns was over hundreds of thousands of miles. How could Julius tell where Felix was from so accurately?Julius looked a little helpless. "Your name is Felix, and your elimination match was on Aquamarinus. Of course, I know you're from Earth."Well, that was quite the redundant answer."No, listen to what I have to say."After motioning for Felix to sit down, Julius continued, "In the Rank-Ascending Competition, some people in power can actually cheat within the rules. Have you heard of the Orion family?"Before Felix could answer, Julius had already guessed the answer based on his gaze. "Heh, seems like Earth isn't as barbaric as everyone thought. Since you're familiar with the Orion family, it will make things easier for me."Well, you got the right information. The Orion family is th

The guide said, "This is where the selected contestants rest. The yard is huge and has everything you need. As long as you don't leave this yard, you're free to move around. I'll bring you to your room now."The yard looked huge, with fixtures of bridges and flowing rivers. Felix even passed by a fake mountain. It was large enough for hundreds of people to climb, standing thousands of feet tall and looked quite majestically.No one on Earth or Aquamarinus could have built such a luxurious residence. Felix could even see a bar and massage parlor, showing how indispensable technology was in the universe. His room was luxurious, around 2000 square feet, and was decorated with traditional but modern touches. "This is your room. I'll take my leave now, goodbye." The young man left with a bow. Felix turned around and stood on the patio. Outside his room was a large lake, with even fish swimming inside."A new neighbor? Did you just arrive today?" The sudden voice came from the patio

Felix arrived at the location of one of Nine Flames, where the guards instantly collapsed, their eyes rolling back as they fainted.By now, darkness had arrived. He walked forward without any hesitation, his right hand touching the flame.There was no need for any special tools. The flame simply vanished, and only Felix knew that it was absorbed in an instant by his Starmark.With the disappearance of the flames, people in many places immediately dropped to their knees.The light that should have lasted throughout the night vanished, and the darkness of Desolated Lands descended almost instantly. Every light went out in an instant.Screams echoed everywhere, and panic spread like wildfire. Even though their loved ones were close by, they couldn't see them with their eyes and could only communicate through voice.Scenes like this were unfolding in many places, even in Cloud City."It's really started," Eira said. She was in Cloud City. Although Luigi was standing on her left, h

Despite Thiago's murderous glare and overwhelming killing intent, Felix wasn't scared. In fact, it made him smile.Due to the unique trait of the Dragon Rebirth, his opponent had to harbor a true desire to kill him in order for Felix to grow stronger. Otherwise, it would all be meaningless. At least so far, everything was unfolding just as he expected.Meanwhile, Holt was silently praying like crazy as he lay on the ground. The battle had already begun, and his companion had understood his message. This was their only shot, however slim, at killing Felix.As time passed and the afternoon crept past 3:00 pm, his companion started to falter. His attacks were growing sluggish. He hadn't been injured, but he was clearly on the defensive now.Seeing this, Felix completely lost interest. Once his opponent lost the will to kill him, the Dragon Rebirth would no longer grow.Still, the battle wasn't for nothing. He'd made solid progress and was a little closer to becoming a Celestial Realm
Chapter 1563
Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate
Chapter 1561
Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An
