The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

After some thought, Felix finally let up the thought. It was best for him to be cautious when it came to the true Dragonspine. In fact, it was because he was no match for Dickson, and he wouldn't be able to take control of the situation.

Despite working at Harmony Clinic together, it meant nothing. Even biological brothers would turn against each other in the face of interests-let alone relationships.

Even if Felix mentioned Delilah, he couldn't entirely rely on that fact. As he pondered the thought, the energy of the true Dragonspine soon faded away and he couldn't feel it anymore. All his thoughts were completely dispelled.

"Don't worry, I won't question you. Go back to the clinic. Even though you're in the Physical Refinement Realm, it's best not to leave the city unless absolutely necessary.

"It is even dangerous for me, do you understand?"

No questions? Felix felt relieved. Dickson really didn't seem that bad.

"Thank you, Mr. Marlow. I'll head back to the clinic first."

As Felix disappeared from sight, Dickson stood there with a smile. "Madam Goddard, you truly have an incredible disciple. However, he has a lot of secrets. It's hard to say if it'll be a blessing or a curse."

Dickson had been hunting down the Skeletal Demon for a while now. The Skeletal Demon was incredibly good at hiding his presence. His skills of constantly changing appearance were also strong. It was difficult to find him-let alone track him down.

Today, Dickson finally got lucky and found traces of the Skeletal Demon on the outskirts of North City. He immediately took action, but unfortunately, the Skeletal Demon was too experienced.

The Skeletal Demon had used a hidden technique to trap Dickson and despite being injured, he was able to flee into North City. It was too difficult to find the Skeletal Demon again.

This led to a subsequent battle between Felix and the Skeletal Demon. From the fight alone, Dickson could deduce that Felix was invincible in the Physical Refinement Realm.

However, how old was Felix?

...

After safely spending the first week in Martial City, Felix adapted to life in North City According to the requirements of Harmony Clinic, he was talented enough. This meant that he only needed to open the clinic twice a week.

Refining pills didn't take over five days, so there wasn't a worry for conflicts.

"Madam Goddard, I want to try refining intermediate pills," Felix told Delilah that day.

"My dear boy, you really terrify me! You haven't even properly digested the previous information yet, and you want to take on intermediate refinement?"

It had only been a few days since Felix started refining pills, yet he dared to try intermediate refinement.

"Madam Goddard, please don't mock me."

"How can I mock you? I'm delighted! However, if you want the materials for intermediate pills, you need to pass Harmony Clinic's trials. The higher you go, the more precious the herbs are, and it's impossible to allow anyone to waste them. noveldrama

"You must prove yourself first," Delilah instructed.

Felix hadn't known about this—no one had told him. He guessed it was most likely because he had just started. No one would've known he could run since he hadn't even tried walking yet.

"Think about which intermediate pill

you want to refine, and tell me. I'l prepare the ingredients for you to try. Also, it's best to refine it in Harmony Clinic. Intermediate pills are precious."

"Alright, thank you, Madam Goddard."

Felix was now in the Physical Refinement Realm. Among the intermediate pills, there were pills that could be taken by martial artists in that realm to improve their strength.

With so many martial artists in Martial City, the faster Felix could improve his strength, the better. The mission could wait. Protecting himself was his main priority.

Just after hanging up the phone, Natalie entered. Felix felt extremely overwhelmed, but he had gotten used to it.
