The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

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.

"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.
