The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

"Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha!noveldrama

"This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.

Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."

Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!"

"Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up.

The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"

Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the words, "Get out!"

However, he immediately recognized the woman walking into the clinic, and he quickly bowed.

"Hello, Madam Goddard."

Felix was confused as to why Delilah was here this time.

"Ah, it's Atlas! You've been running around North City recently. Are you here looking for Natalie? What are you doing here then?"

Since the Maximus family would never reveal the information about true Dragonspine, Atlas quickly replied, "I saw a new clinic opening up here, so I came in to take a look. I'll be taking my leave now."

Just as he passed by Delilah, she said, "Felix here is our alchemist in Harmony Clinic with Heaven-grade talent. Although he hadn't reached the title of the Top Ten Menaces, I still value him a lot. It's good that you're making friends with him."

Atlas wasn't daft, immediately hearing the warning in the sentence. His heart immediately skipped a beat.

No wonder Felix was so confident! It turned out that he was not only strong because he was in the Physical Refinement Realm, but he also had someone like Delilah backing him up.

"You're right, Madam Goddard," Atlas said. However, did Felix really think that he was safe? They would just have to wait and see.

Since it involved the true

Dragonspine, Atlas's family would

definitely stand with him. He didn't believe that Delilah or Harmony Clinic would stand with Felix if challenged by the Maximus family.

"Why are you here, Madam Goddard?" Felix would only address her like this during public occasions. He would also sometimes address her as his mentor when no one was around.

"You underestimate me, boy. Since you mention the grudge with Atlas, why wouldn't I pay more attention to you? When I learned Atlas came to the clinic, of course, I rushed here as fast as I could."

Felix was touched by the thought and smiled helplessly. "It's exactly what I feared. It's all because Natalie is constantly coming to me again and again. I acted like a bastard to

drive her away, yet she still came by.

"Otherwise, how could Atlas have found me so quickly in the city?"

Delilah felt a little embarrassed now. "It's my fault. Bern had sent Natalie to gather information about your relationship with me."

What? Felix was shocked. So everything that happened was his own doing? If he hadn't proposed to keep their mentor-mentee relationship a secret, Natalie wouldn't have come in the first place.

It seemed like everything he did truly had consequences. As he thought about this, he bowed.

"Madam Goddard, since Atlas is already here, there's no point in hiding our relationship. Please publicize it."

Delilah burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Good, good! I can finally have a disciple publicly!"
