Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 54 - : Gathering and Harmony

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Gathering and Harmony

“What just happened…”

The Wizard who had been watching the battle spoke with uncertainty.

“Was that Magic Equipment?”

Another Wizard by his side shook his head; he hadn’t seen clearly since the Crystal Ball was only broadcasting, and many details were definitely not as clear as seeing them with their own eyes.

The Wizards turned their gaze to Jolod, who was stroking his beard smugly and casting a sidelong glance at Aijoen.

“Aijoen, why aren’t you speaking?”

The Soul Fire in Aijoen’s eyes suddenly flared up, and a strong Magic Fluctuation burst forth from him.

However, everyone present was a Wizard, and such a minor Magic Fluctuation only served to inform the other Wizards of Aijoen’s unrest and had no other effect.

“Jolod, what exactly was that thing?” a Wizard asked.

Not being at the scene and merely relying on what was broadcast through the Crystal Ball, the Wizards present, except for those who had modified their eyes, couldn’t clearly see what had really happened.

“Cough, that was a piece of Magic Equipment researched by my disciple. You all saw its effect, but I won’t reveal any more information.”

Jolod’s explanation typified empty talk, prompting a chorus of hisses from the many Wizards.

However, everyone was aware that besides those Magic Equipments sold commercially, no Alchemy Wizard would reveal details about the Magic Equipments they used personally. But some Wizards, who knew about the incident involving Joseph years ago, already had some guesses.

The perspective returned to the examination site.

After killing Slay, Richard’s body emitted an Energy Fluctuation that burst every few seconds. This fluctuation allowed Richard to encounter not a single Apprentice on his way to the center, and even using Wuni’s vision, he could only see other Apprentices running away.

“This actually works out well, saves me the hassle.”

Richard gave a self-deprecating laugh, then used Levitation Skill to quickly head toward the center.

Along the way, Richard’s fluctuation not only drove away Apprentices but also attracted some audacious folks looking to rise rapidly. However, these people gathered together and started fighting amongst themselves before even dealing with Richard.

Compared to the clearly more powerful Richard, these nameless people with weak Apprentice Marks were obviously easier targets.

With the help of Levitation Skill and the Apprentice Mark Fluctuation, Richard covered several dozen kilometers in just an hour and arrived at the central point of the testing ground—the beam shooting up into the sky.

After arriving, Richard began waiting; his speed was clearly faster than Ali, who needed to hunt Apprentices.

During the wait, he not only recovered his Magic Power but also made some minor preparations.

As an Apprentice of the Alchemy School, he had many little gadgets to aid in combat.

…

“Ah!”

A miserable scream pierced the night sky as an Apprentice trying to use the cover of darkness to ambush Richard was entangled by an unknown thorny plant.

The Apprentice’s fresh blood flowed from the wounds pierced by the thorns and was absorbed by them, nourishing their growth.

The Apprentice tried to resist, but in the next moment, a black Great Sword ended his life.

“Another brainless one,” Richard yawned, silently watching the Apprentice’s body being drained into a mummified corpse by the thorns.

These thorns were known as Blood-sucking Thorns, a creation from Biological Alchemy. Jolod did not delve deeply into this field of Alchemy, and Richard had only learned the basics.

But for a Wizard, knowledge was power, and even a little bit of knowledge could triumph over fools at certain moments.

As the Apprentice Mark transferred, the Energy Fluctuation around Richard grew once more.

“If this continues, it feels like the entire testing ground will know I’m here.”

Richard scratched his head and searched the Apprentice’s body.

Actually, he wasn’t keen on searching the bodies of these people, as their poverty exceeded his imagination. Even on an apprentice like Slay, Richard found only two hundred magic stones and two pieces of finished magic equipment.

Furthermore, one of the pieces of magic equipment was custom-made and only suited for apprentices of the Undead School, rendering it useless for apprentices of other schools.

If it weren’t for Richard obtaining some high-quality bones from a corpse puppet in the end, the loot from killing Slay would have been less profitable than what Richard could have made from selling magic potions for a year.

This had been all of Slay’s possessions.

After looting the apprentice, just as Richard was about to head back to rest, a wave of energy surged from the horizon, its magnitude not the slightest bit inferior to Richard’s own.

Richard narrowed his eyes, immediately switching his viewpoint to Wuni.

At night, Wuni’s night vision was undoubtedly the best tool for observing enemies.

“This person… why do they look familiar?”

Richard touched his chin, and though the person looked somewhat familiar, he cautiously activated his bloodline, transforming into a muscular giant beast over two meters tall.

“Richard, why have you always refused to transform in front of me?” the approaching figure asked. “So this is what you look like when you transform.”

Richard, startled by the approaching figure, couldn’t help but exclaim,

“Ali?”

Ali approached Richard, leaning on her magic wand and curiously touching the scales.

“You don’t look very good, but the aura is quite strong.”

Richard deactivated his bloodline and circled around Ali, somewhat surprised.

“Is the Shape-shifting School so powerful, Ali? You’ve actually killed twenty apprentices.”

Ali glanced at him, “Even if the Shape-shifting School isn’t that great, it’s still better than this brute force bloodline alchemy. You’re a wizard apprentice, can’t you use some spells?”

Saying so, Ali, somewhat indignant, punched Richard.

Her teacher, Susanna, had initially admired Richard when she found out he was Jolod’s disciple, but lost interest immediately upon hearing that Richard followed the path of bloodline alchemy.

“All those who follow bloodline alchemy are savages!” said Susanna, a disciple of the Black Tower Great Wizard who double specialized in Shape-shifting and Curses.

After a bit of good-natured teasing, the two began discussing the real issue.

“Your teacher must have told you,” Ali said seriously, “the rewards for this scoreboard are extraordinary, and if nothing goes wrong, it should involve entering the dean’s secret realm for exploration.”

Richard nodded, as a close friend of Alex, Jolod had heard early on that this exam’s rewards were unconventional.

“So what are you planning to do next?” asked Ali.

Richard took out a scroll from his waist that introduced the exam rules.

“What do you think about hunting these high-level creatures?”

Ali furrowed her brows, “My mentor told me that these creatures are slaves captured by the dean from another realm, and their strength is not something that ordinary high-level magic beasts can match.”

“But it’s the best way to earn points.” Richard pointed out a rule, “Fifty points per creature, if we want to kill wizard apprentices, we have to kill at least two at our own level.”

Richard knew the strength of these creatures was extraordinary, but if they didn’t hunt these creatures, their points wouldn’t take a dramatic lead.

Having already experienced the slippery nature of wizard apprentices, Richard knew how difficult it would become to kill later when all apprentices displayed their marks’ fluctuations, making it hard to feign weakness and seize the killer advantage.

After hesitating for a moment, Ali agreed to Richard’s plan.

She didn’t have a better one.

After settling on a battle strategy, they rested in place.

High-level creatures were not introduced into the examination field from the start, their entry was set for the fifteenth day of the exam.
