The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 604

Felix would not call himself a great person, but he was not evil either. Any other martial artist capable of the Dragons Destroyer technique would have simply killed Rosalyn for the Dragonspine without hesitation. That was if Rosalyn would not hand over the Dragonspine. But Felix could not do that. This girl bore him no ill will and had treated him with respect. Plus, she was Jeffrey's friend. How could he harm her?

After much consideration, lying to her about it seemed to be the only way out. Once he had the Dragonspine, he could find ways to make it up to her later.

The burning sensation he had mentioned was actually the Dragonspine's effect. Indeed, it would provide some minor benefits to her training. And it was hardly the deadly threat he had described.

"But the technique was passed down by my grandfather. Everyone trains this Why would it go wrong?" Rosalyn asked.

Felix had anticipated this question. "It's not the technique that's flawed. Something on your body is interfering with its flow and causing these issues."

Rosalyn thought hard before remembering the bone piece strapped to her back.

"You've figured it out, right? When I checked your pulse, I detected a foreign object on your back. That's what's causing the burning sensation."

Could it really be the bone? Without hesitation, Rosalyn removed the Dragonspine.

Rosalyn asked in disbelief, "How is this possible? My grandfather gave this to me. He said wearing it would strengthen my body and benefit my training."

The Ruby family was more intriguing than Felix had thought. They actually used a Dragonspine as an heirloom.

"I've never seen this type of bone, but I can sense its effects. It's sending waves into your body. To treat this, we'll need to grind it to powder and mix it with some herbs for you to drink. That will completely cure your condition," Felix said. After a moment's hesitation, Rosalyn said,

I'm sorry, Mr. Zeller. My grandfather stressed

how precious this bone is. I can't agree without consulting him first."

Felix had expected this too. He had already been planning his next move when he was treating Rosalyn earlier. "That's fine, but please hurry. Though I said you have six months, conditions can change. Better safe than sorry.

"Thank you for understanding. I'll go home and discuss it with my grandfather right away. Suddenly, Rosalyn thought of something. "Based on what you're saying, I'll still feel that burning when I practice even if I remove the bone now, won't I?"

"Of course! Try it if you don't believe me."

While Rosalyn was not so naive, she was not someone who would overthink much. So she sat down and tested her technique right there. The result matched Felix's description exactly, and her expression changed dramatically.

"I'm heading home now!" After a quick goodbye to Jeffrey, she left. It made Jeffrey smile awkwardly.

"Please excuse her, Mr. Zeller. That's just how she is. I'm sure she'll thank you properly later." He was speechless about how she had not offered any payment after being treated. Felix waved it off. "It's fine. I came for your sake anyway. But I am curious. Where do the Rubies rank among the Eight Great Martial Families?"

Jeffrey held up one finger with a smile. "The Rubies rank first among the Eight Great Martial Families!"
