The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 653

Eight figures emerged at the mountain peak. All of them were older men and middle-aged warriors who radiated powerful presences.

"Five Oceanus Realm masters and three Pulse Realm masters-I'm flattered by such attention."

Pulse Realm was the next level above Oceanus Realm. A martial artist would reach this realm when they could gather their spiritual energy into a sphere within their core and make it rotate.

This rotating energy sphere would then release its essence throughout the body's meridians, strengthening and transforming them.

Felix was not exaggerating about the impressive display of force. Most martial arts sects barely had any Oceanus Realm masters, let alone those who had reached the higher Pulse Realm. Yet the Council had sent so many at once.
