The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 

The next moment, Howard was shoved aside as a man and a woman entered the room. 

“So, you’re Felix Zeller?” 

Liam Lawson’s expression was disdainful, and he rudely pointed at Felix with his right hand. He looked like an average guy. There was nothing particularly striking about his 

appearance. 

The woman, on the other hand, looked even worse. Her face was covered in pockmarks, and her mouth had a slight slant. However, her hair looked impressive. Thick and jet- black, it was tied in a ponytail. 

Seeing that Felix continued sipping his tea and ignored them entirely, Liam became angry and was about to speak when the woman interrupted. 

“My name is Zara Morgan. I’ve already defeated the others who were selected to come here. They all admitted that their medical skills couldn’t compare to mine. Now, you’re the only one left. I don’t want to waste time, so let’s have a match. 

“If you beat me, the right to compete against the modern medicine practitioners from Guneria tomorrow will be yours.” 

Liam found the moment to eagerly chime in, “Everyone who was nominated to be here has some skills, but none of them acted like you. No one pretended to be so mysterious. Just admit that you’re no match for Zara!” 

Setting down his teacup, Felix stood up, feeling unexpectedly amused. 

“So, you’ve defeated everyone else, including this loudmouth here?” 

Liam paused momentarily, then realized Felix called him the “loudmouth“. He seemed to be about to explode angrily, but Zara shot him a warning glance. 

“That’s right. Will you accept my challenge?” she asked. 

Felix smiled. 

“You’ve saved me a lot of time. Why wouldn’t I accept? Just let me know how you would like to compete and when you would like to do it.” 

That was great news. He had expected some complicated set of rules, but Zara had handled it all herself. 

“Since this is an informal competition between us and we don’t have patients at the moment, we’ll have to use a few alternative methods,” Zara said. She raised her right hand, and with a flick, a silver needle flew out, producing a crisp, ringing sound as it vibrated through the room.

Liam boasted proudly, “See that? Zara can perform the Melodic Strike at such a young age. Can you do that? If not, then just leave already! 

Felix frowned, finding Liam’s constant flattery extremely irritating. He didn’t bother to waste another word. With a flick of his hand, he also sent out a silver needle, producing the same clear, resonating sound. 

This time, Liam’s expression clranged. He hadn’t expected Felix to be capable of making the needle sing too. 

Still, Zara remained calm, her expression unchanged. She simply said, “Besides me, you’re the third person among us nine who can perform the Melodic Strike. Let’s continue!” 

However, Felix shook his head. 

“Your skills are impressive, but I’m a bit tired. I don’t want to waste any more time.” He still hadn’t fully recovered from the aftereffects of treating Curtis, so resting a bit longer would definitely be better for him. 

Liam, who had initially intended to tone things down after seeing Felix’s Melodic Strike, immediately became annoyed again.
