Felix stopped in a clearing within the vast forest behind the Starfire residence. He had halted so abruptly because he sensed someone powerful tracking him, though he could not identify who.

"Are you done running?" The voice reached him before its owner. An elderly man in white robes appeared 30 feet away, his ruddy face wearing a faint smile.

"You're from Elders' Council, aren't you?" With such power and Dragonian features, it could not be anyone else.

"Yes. We're old acquaintances in a way. Though this is our first meeting, you've survived our assassination attempts longer than anyone."

Felix smiled. "I thought the Council just had extensive intelligence in Dragonia. It's impressive that you can track me abroad so quickly."

He meant it sincerely. But the old man clasped his hands, smiling wider. "Thank you. Of course we can. Why else would a martial artist like me join an organization?"

Having confirmed his identity, Felix cut to the chase. "What makes you think you alone can kill me?"

As Felix spoke, a powerful energy emanated from him, causing leaves to fall without a breeze.

The old man's smile never wavered, and he clicked his tongue. "Our analysis was correct. Since your battle with the Jacobs family, you've advanced from early to middle stage Blood Realm. "That's why the Council wants you captured alive. They want to study how you keep advancing so rapidly."

Though just a minor realm difference, in Blood Realm, such progress was harder than crossing major realms before. And the power increase was exponential.

"Capture me alive?" Felix sneered. "How amusing. You can't challenge Mr. Hoffman and my fellow apprentices, so you bully me instead. Aren't you embarrassed by your constant failures?

The old man laughed heartily. "Fair point! I feel the same way. But orders are orders, and who dares disobey? Why not do me a favor and come quietly?"

Seeing the old man's consistently positive attitude and smile, Felix decided to toy with him." How about now?"

Suddenly the old man's laughter stopped, his face incredulous as he ogled at Felix. "How... How are you in the late-stage Blood Realm now?

He could not miss such an instant change in energy, but Felix had just been mid-stage. How could this be controlled at will?

"Late-stage? Your eyes must be failing."

The old man drew a sharp breath, eyes bulging. "That's major... Major mastery of Blood Realm, isn't it? Impossible!"

He was losing his mind. In under a minute, Felix had shifted from middle stage to matching his own major mastery. This was inconceivable.

Felix had never jumped two major realms at once before. Though these were minor realm distinctions within Blood Realm, the power differences matched major realm gaps. How could any martial artist achieve something so extraordinary?
