The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Terry's only comfort was Felix's status as a Dragon Knight, believing it would keep him in check. However, Stamford could not help but laugh bitterly-how could they expect restraint after sending assassins after Felix?

"Terry!" a voice suddenly boomed throughout the Skyward Guild, causing all the training disciples to freeze in curiosity.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Skyward Guild?" Terry growled as he vanished on the spot, with Stamford following close behind.

When they reached the front courtyard, they found Felix standing there, which immediately dampened their aggressive stance.

Terry asked diplomatically, "Ah, if it isn't the honorable Dragon Knight. What brings you to our Skyward Guild?"

Felix smirked at the gathered martial arts masters. "Call me Felix or Dragon Knight; I don't care-I'm here for justice."

Terry's greeting was not lost on Felix. Using the title "Dragon Knight" was a calculated move to tie him to the headquarters and make things more complicated.

"Oh, you must be joking, Dragon Knight," Terry replied with a dry chuckle. "I'm afraid I don't understand what justice you seek."

Felix raised his hand, causing a nearby stone slab to explode. "I'm done with the small talk. You sent people to kill me in the Guneria. Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter-either give me what I want or prepare to die."

Under normal circumstances, someone would have already stepped forward to challenge him. However, everyone knew what had happened at the Martial Arts Competition.

Felix had reached the Boneforging Realm, and now he had mastered Lone Paragon. No one wanted to test their luck.

Seeing that Felix had no intention of negotiating, Terry kept his composure. "If you insist on this, Dragon Knight, then I'll have no choice but to appeal to the headquarters for mediation."

Felix sneered. "You think I'd be here if I cared about that? I wouldn't hesitate to kill every last one of you. What do you think the headquarters will do about it?"

Terry's expression darkened. He

wondered if this was some kind of

tacit approval from the

headquarters. If that were the ease, escalating the conflict would not end well for the Skyward Guild.

"Perhaps you could tell us what you want? Skyward Guild has always been open to reasonable discussion," Terry offered.

The guild's martial artists exchanged puzzled glances, confused about the unexpected negotiation option. "The Twin Fish Cauldron," Felix stated simply, referring to the treasure Kayden had requested.

Terry's face twisted, his expression shifting from anger to disbelief. "The Twin Fish Cauldron is our guild's most prized artifact. Felix, don't you

think you're going too farent

Felix chuckled, his eyes narrowing. "Do you seriously think I'm here to negotiate with trash like you?"

In the next moment, he unleashed the Rising Dragon technique. After several explosive sounds, no one remained standing.

He asked, "Still think I won't kill any of you?"

Felix had planned this carefully, knowing headquarters was focused on the Martial City mission. He did not even bother using the Shadow Mask, choosing to attack directly.

Despite several Boneforging Realm masters being present, none could withstand even a single strike from Felix. It just proved the terrifying power of the Lone Paragon-and he was not even using his full strength.

"You... You actually attacked us?" Terry sputtered, blood dripping from his lips as he clutched his chest in shock.

"Attack? I'll send you all to hell!" Felix threatened.

As terror rose, Terry shouted, "Summon the Founding Master!"noveldrama

Felix turned his head as well and called out, "Karina, it's your turn."
