The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

"Lone Paragon!" Although Felix could clearly see that the old man was injured, he activated this technique immediately. This was a battle between life and death!

His opponent was strong, so Felix couldn't afford to have a slip-up. The two of them fought, trading blow after blow. The battle was so intense that there was nothing left intact.

A few minutes later, the old man felt terrified. Could this young man have a secret technique to increase combat power? He was much stronger than before-could he actually defeat the old man?

The old man panicked a little, but he wasn't afraid of losing to Felix. However, because of such a big commotion, although they were far from North City, it would inevitably attract other martial arts masters!

"Boy! You've earned my respect! As you've asked before, we should go our separate ways now. How about that?"

Felix was annoyed-the old man was injured, and Felix was sure he could wear the old man down quickly.

"When did I say that? Old man, you started the fight!"

The old man was so furious that he almost choked on saliva. His expression turned ugly and he began weaving his hands in a complex technique.

"I'll remember you, you brat! I'll make sure to drink every last drop of your blood. Bone Prison!"

There were loud crunches as countless bones emerged from the ground. They moved so fast that Felix had no time to react at all. Soon, Felix was entrapped in the bones, leaving no gaps and completely blocking the moonlight.

It took Felix a full minute to break through the strange prison made of bones. "Hmph! Do you think you can escape?"

As long as the old man didn't run out of his range, it would only be a matter of time before Felix caught up to him. His last attack was definitely powerful, but it was only able to trap people—not hurt them.

Felix guessed that the old man was too injured. Just as Felix was about to chase after the old man, another man appeared in front of him.

What confused Felix was how casual the man looked-picking his nose and looking completely delighted.

"Weren't you fighting the Skeletal Demon earlier? Why didn't you stop him? What a waste of my time."

Cold sweat dripped down Felix's forehead. This man was the real deal. Felix hadn't noticed this at all. Since the old man ran away-could it be because of this man?

"Oh? Huh? Is that a Shadow Mask?

Whose is it? Where are you from?TM As the man spoke, he took his finger out from his nose and flicked his fingers. A rock in the distance shattered on the spot.

"Wait! You're Felix Zeller, aren't you?"

This man knew Felix? Felix panicked even more. How could this man know him? That was impossible!

"Don't worry, I'm Dickson Marlow-deputy chief of Harmony Clinic."

Oh, so he was from the Harmony Clinic. Felix instantly felt relief. "Greetings, Deputy Chief!"

Dickson waved him off dismissively with a smile. You really surprised me! Although the Skeletal Demon was injured, he isn't someone a Physical Refinement Realm martial artist could handle. Yet, based on the destruction around here, you managed to fight him for several minutes!

"Impressive! What's even more remarkable is that you forced him to use his Bone

Prison! You remind me of when I was younger."

At this moment, Felix was

conflicted. He could still sense thenoveldrama

location of the Skeletal Demon.

However, if he told Dickson the

location, a martial artist like him would definitely chase him down and kill the Skeletal Demon.

But could Felix really trust Dickson? After all, it involved a true Dragonspine.
