The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Inside the black smog was a perilous situation. The black mist seemed alive, stretching out countless tentacles that charged at Felix.

"Dancing Dragon!" Felix let out another command.

The battle raged inside the smog. But outside, Atlas stood with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his lips.

"Mr. Marlow, don't worry. I have it under control. I won't kill him."

Although he didn't receive a response from Dickson, it didn't dampen Atlas' confidence in winning the battle.

This was his most powerful technique. When Obsidian Sky was unleashed, even an early-stage Transcendent Realm practitioner of the same level would suffer defeat on the spot. Middle-stage Transcendent practitioners would struggle to defend against it.

As for Felix, so what if he had trained in the Dragon Destroyer technique? The Maximus family was a formidable force among martial artists.

Suddenly, they heard a soft sound as a gap appeared in the black smog. Something surged out from inside.

Atlas' expression changed drastically. The figure moved so quickly and suddenly that he couldn't react in time. He could only raise his arms in front of him.

"Rising Dragon!"

Of course, the person who emerged was Felix, but strangely, his body appeared to be covered in something like scales.

This was also a technique from Dragon Destroyer, the only defensive technique within it-the Dragon Scales. It was precisely because of this that Felix dared to break through Obsidian Sky, catching Atlas off guard with a surprise attack.

Even with the sturdy defense of Dragon Scales, Felix still suffered a slight injury. This showed just how powerful Atlas' attack really was.

Two loud crashes echoed as Atlas was sent flying backward.

Not only had Atlas taken Felix's Rising Dragon move head-on, but in the moment Felix charged out, Atlas had also been struck by the Hidden Dragon technique.

In other words, Atlas had taken two hits in the blink of an eye.

A spray of blood shot out, scattering in mid-air.

Felix wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by. He immediately took the advantage, aiming to finish off Atlas right there.

"How dare you, you brat!"

A fierce blast of energy surged toward him. Felix halted in his tracks as Dickson appeared in front of him, easily deflecting the attack from one of the Maximus family's elders.

"The four elders of the Maximus family, may I ask for the meaning behind that attack? A young man's battle is none of your business. How could you bully the weak?"

At that moment, Atlas had been caught. His face was as pale as paper, and he quickly swallowed several pills, barely managing tonoveldrama

straighten up and stand his ground.

At that moment, rage filled his face. He never thought he would lose to Felix, especially since Felix was only at the Physical Refinement Realm, an entire realm below him.

Was the legacy left by the family still incomplete? Was Dragon Destroyer really that powerful?

If Atlas knew that Felix had fought him without even using his hidden trump card, the Lone Paragon technique, he probably would be stupefied.

"Hmph!" At this moment, Jonah stepped forward. "Dickson! Enough talk. We need to take Felix with us. Are you going to let us or not?"

Dickson smiled. "I don't understand. Did he kill someone from your family, or did he desecrate your ancestors' graves?

"Are things really that serious? By the way, the battle's already over, and Felix won. As a reputable family, you should just leave now."

Jonah sneered and exchanged glances with the others.

"Well, Mr. Marlow, I understand your decision now. If that's the case, let's settle this with a battle. We're taking Felix today, and no one can stop us!"

"Get him!"

Dickson's smile faded as he quickly instructed Felix before charging forward.

"Run when you have the chance. If you really can't escape your fate, I'll make sure to build you the most expensive grave in all of Martial City."
