The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1051

In their terror, the two masked figures could only watch as their opponent raised a finger. At that moment, it seemed as if the air itself had stopped moving.

They clutched their throats, their expressions twisted in agony as if all the oxygen around them had vanished. Within seconds, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Felix drew in a sharp breath as he witnessed the scene. Staring at the woman's back and her pale gold dress flowing around her, his mind went blank.

Was she a Grandmaster? Or perhaps another master who had achieved the mastery of Transcendent Realm? If she was the latter, her power was terrifying. They both belonged in the same realm, yet she could instantly kill others.

Coming to his senses, Felix straightened his back and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for saving me."

The figure remained silent, her back still turned. It left Felix feeling awkward and uncertain of what to do next. He wished she would say something.

After ten seconds of silence, her voice rang out, "Felix."

Felix barely registered how melodious it sounded, for his body had gone rigid. Something about her voice felt intimately familiar, as if it resonated from within his own body.

At that moment, she turned around. Her beauty was indescribable. She appeared regal, gentle, beautiful, and all those positive descriptions that could apply to her.

One glance was all it took. Felix trembled as his mind flashed back to the video from the memory card where his birth mother's face was shown. The middle-aged beauty before him looked remarkably similar, despite the years that had passed.

"I'm sorry, Felix. Even now, I don't know if I should have revealed myself to you."

Indeed, this was Felix's birth mother. She was Martial City's strongest warrior and the Empress of the royal family.
