The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 940

"Felix, don't worry! You're on an official mission to Martial City. That scoundrel is an unexpected problem, but I'll ensure your safety," the Protector reassured Felix as he handed Felix two tokens.

The Protector explained, "The red token is essential for entering and leaving Martial City. Without it, no one can safely pass through the barriers. Each token only works once before turning to dust, so guard it carefully. They're extremely rare and valuable, even within Martial City."

Felix nodded in understanding as he accepted the tokens, but his attention was drawn to the yellow one. It was round and slightly mysterious.

"The yellow token wasn't something I originally planned to give you," the Protector continued. "It's not ideal for your growth, but given what just happened, I want to ensure your safety above all else."

"If that old man from the Elders' Council comes after you again, don't hesitate to crush this token. Someone will come to your aid immediately."

Felix was unsure whether to feel relieved or concerned. Thanks to the Grand Elder, he had now gained a safety net in the form of this token, though he hoped he would never have to use it.

"The barriers randomly transport people to different locations when entering or leaving," the Protector warned. "Stay alert—you might face danger immediately upon arrival. Head southeast and take five steps forward to reach the barrier."

The area ahead looked like an empty wasteland. Nonetheless, the Protector's specific instructions hinted at the mystical nature of Martial City's defenses.

"Thank you, Protector. I'll be going now," Felix said.

Despite the Protector's presence, Xena could not resist giving Felix a farewell embrace. "Take care. I'll wait for your safe return."
