The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

This was the first time Melissa knew about Felix's fighting prowess. For a moment, she had no idea what she could say about the situation. She was even so pleasantly surprised that she was shedding tears of joy.

Meanwhile, Nala was also grinning from ear to ear. She made a wise choice to fall for Felix.

Billy was the only person who pursed his lips. Although he didn't say anything, his expression said everything.

"I appreciate your respect for me." Milo was stunned for a while before she moved her hand away from the hilt of her sword. "But I'm yielding.

It was Felix's turn to feel puzzled. As far as he was concerned, Milo wasn't the kind of lady who would give up this easily. In fact, she would've chosen to duke it out with him.

"There's no reason to feel strange about it. I'm not powerful enough to take on a Boneforging Realm martial artist right now. I know that about myself. So, why do I have to fight you at all?

"More to the point, we don't really know each other. Ronan didn't exactly bring us together as friends, either. With all of these in mind, I would just be asking for death."

Felix was stumped. Milo could be very smart when she kept her cool.

"It would be far more logical for me to admit defeat and let you keep your strength. I want you to beat that bastard to a pulp on my behalf." Milo's expression turned bitter after she turned around.

Milo's elder was right when he said that Lone Paragon would draw out numerous inhumanly formidable warriors with unimaginable powers. She wondered if her elder expected there to be two Boneforging Realm martial artists this time.noveldrama

Did this signify the rise of the world of martial arts once more?

Meanwhile, Aiden had taken several deep breaths. To this moment, he still couldn't accept the fact that Felix was as powerful as he was.

"You've kept your strength well hidden, Felix!" Aiden was truly frustrated. He possessed this impressive talent that amazed a lot of people. He made a breakthrough into Innate Realm when he was ten years old. That made him one of the top-ranking talents in history.

With his unprecedented talent at his disposal, Aiden was able to attain Boneforging Realm at such a young age. Fewer than ten of the older generation of martial artists were a match for him, let alone the younger generations.

That was why it was utterly shocking that Felix was as powerful as Aiden was.

"Sure, and you also live up to everyone's expectations as Victor's son. It's time for us to find out who the stronger martial artist is."

Ten minutes later, both of them

stood on the stone stage, and the much-awaited championship was about to commence. Everyone held their breath and focused on the stage, not wanting to miss a single moment.

"You've been nothing but an insect beneath my boot in the past. However, you've exceeded my expectations and secretly became this powerful. Color me surprised."

Felix looked at Aiden and shook his

head. "Your heart wasn't in the right place from

the beginning. There's p

such thing as being better than everyone else. We are all born into this world equally. What makes you think you get to sit on a high horse?"

Aiden sneered. "Some people are born into a poverty-stricken family, while others are born with a silver spoon. God has never been fair. What's wrong with me sitting on my high horse?"

Felix extended his right hand and said slowly, "Let's cut the bull crap and begin the duel. We have been waiting for this day to come for a long time now."

"Fine. Your time is up, Felix!"

Both Felix and Aiden knew that this match wasn't just about victory. In fact, it was a fight to the death. None of them would ever surrender in this fight.

As the duel started, Aiden made the first move. He brushed his eyebrow gently with his right hand, and a wicked grin crept up his face.

"Perish.'

At the same time, Lionel's expression changed for the first time. "I can't believe what I'm seeing. Is the old geezer Aiden's mentor?"
