The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Joanna was speechless. It wasn't just her—the entire arena was silent. After all, they were all from Denverville. They all knew Howie was in the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm.

On the other hand, Felix was unknown and unheard of. However, he still came out victorious. Thus, how could they not be shocked?

Nala held back her excitement and stretched out her right hand. She wasn't worried that Joanna would go back on her word. And that was exactly the case.

If Joanna refused to hand over the antidote, everyone present would know that she accepted defeat publicly. If she broke her promise now, the reputation of the Yorkers would crash and burn into the ground-her family would never let her go.

Fuck! Where and how did Nala find Felix? Her reputation had been dragged through mud, yet she was still so favored by the powerful Felix? God was truly unfair.

Joanna gnashed her teeth and tossed a pill at Nala. She sneered. "So what if I gave it to you? Nala, you've fallen far behind me. Even if you get your appearance back, you'll just be a pretty toy that men would mess with.

"You wouldn't even be able to catch up with my progress!"

With that, Joanna couldn't bear the humiliation anymore and jumped off the platform to leave. No matter what, she had lost this time. It was an absolute fact that even she herself couldn't deny.

On the other hand, Nala took the pill and threw it into her mouth without

hesitation. In a matter of seconds, the black and red scabs on her face began to fade.

Her mother, Hale Beaufort, excitedly handed her a mirror.

All of a sudden, Nala felt a little afraid. After all, she hadn't looked at her face in many years.

"Take a look, Nala," Hale said gently.

With her encouragement, Nala finally looked into the mirror. She immediately burst into tears, rushing into Hale's embrace and sobbing loudly.

After many years of grievances and many years of getting shunned, she was finally able to release all her tears. She had really recovered.

There was applause from the crowds praising her as she had returned to her beautiful self. Nala's

face was captivating-with just one glance, anyone would fall in love.

"The former beauty is back! But it's such a pity-just as Joanna said, things have

changed now," Ezekiel said.

Natalie felt a little jealous by that remark.

"Really? Have you forgotten that Felix has another identity?" she asked.

After a small pause, Ezekiel smiled. "You're right. He's also an alchemist. Come

on. I'm afraid it won't take long for Nala to catch up with us."

In a private room of a restaurant in Denverville, Felix and Nala sat at a table under the moonlit night. After

her grand recovery, Nala wame

"Thank you, Felix." Nala was shy. She had always had a crush on him before.noveldrama

Today, he proved his remarkable skills on the platform. Besides, he was fighting for her. There wasn't a need for her to say any more.

"You're welcome. Since you've recovered, you should be more careful in the future. With your talent, you'll catch up with Joanna sooner or later."

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and Nala asked, "Are you going to leave now?"

Felix nodded. "Yes. I've fulfilled the promise, and there's no need for me to stay any longer. Besides, I have something important to tend to."

As he stood up, Nala rushed over and hugged him.
