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 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.

"This is for you."As Nala took out a box for him, Felix was confused."Who is it from?""Aiden."Aiden? Felix's confusion deepened."Why would he send me something?"Shaking her head, Nala explained, "I'm not entirely sure, but he made it clear that if you accept this, it'll settle the debt of him owing you a favor for saving his life. After that, you're even. No favors owed, no strings attached. "Honestly, for someone as arrogant as Aiden, he does have a shred of honor in him at times.""Repaying a life-saving favor with a mere box? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?" Felix thought to himself.However, Felix didn't care. If it had just been him and Aiden in the courtyard yesterday, there was no way he would've stepped in. The hatred between them was too deep—who in their right mind would save their enemy?Yet, yesterday's circumstances left him no choice. With so many people around, even headquarters had taken notice. Could they really have skipped over Aiden's antidote pill?

A chubby little baby danced with joy in front of the camera. His round face and big eyes made him utterly adorable.Felix knew that was him as a child, and the voice that followed sent a shiver down his spine. It was the kind of voice every child would cheer for—the voice of a loving mother."Honey, look! It seems like our son knows today's a special day. Just look at how happy he is," a man said.As the camera pulled back, two faces came into view.The man was handsome, and it was easy to tell it was Victor. However, the woman… Felix was captivated. This was what beauty truly meant. For the first time, he understood the true meaning of the word.While it's true that the woman with the most perfect looks so far was Zara, the woman in the video was the kind of beauty that would stay with one forever, especially when combined with an incomparable maternal glow. It was beyond words."Is this really my biological mother?"Just as the family was immersed in their joyful moment, the

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
Chapter 1579
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
