Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 114 - 14 Jialong Club
Chapter 114: Chapter 14 Jialong Club
Richard took the business card, thanked the giver, and then turned to leave.
Owing to the knowledge of Pioneer civilization, he indeed intended to explore further into physique-related research, and since the Jialong Club wasn’t an association, he indeed could join.
Returning to the Wizard Tower, Richard immediately started preparing for Bloodline Alchemy.
Purifying the bloodline, drawing the Alchemy Array, and preparing Nutritional Potions.
After the preparations, Richard took out the bloodline for his third Bloodline Alchemy.
This time, the bloodline was called Soul Darkness Horse, extinct in the Wizard World but still surviving in small amounts on other planes as hybrids.
...
The Soul Darkness Horse had an ability called Shadow Shuttling, which allowed it to shuttle within shadows over a certain range, essentially a limited short-distance spatial leap.
Placing the purified bloodline on the Alchemy Array at his chest, Richard prepared to fuse the bloodline.
But this time, he hardly felt anything during the fusion.

Richard only felt a slight warmth at his chest, followed by a warm flow circulating through his body with his Magic depleting significantly, but overall, he had no significant reaction.
“Is it because my physique is too high? Or because the Adaptation Body has developed my Life Core?”
After the fusion, Richard activated the bloodline.
With a thought, in the next instant, his figure appeared in a shadow-covered corner of the laboratory.
“Not a bad ability,” Richard commented, satisfied.
This ability didn’t consume much Magic, about the same as a Heart of Annihilation, but its effect was quite astounding.
Though Shadow Shuttling had its limitations, it caused minimal Magic Fluctuation, making it very useful either on the battlefield or in executing certain covert missions.
After completing his third alchemy, Richard didn’t delay and immediately started preparing for the last Bloodline Alchemy.
The last alchemy’s bloodline was that of a Magic Dwarf. This creature had no special abilities but possessed great strength and high resistance.
Magic Dwarves were highly resistant to various forms of Elemental Damage, physical damage, even toxins, and their resistances significantly leaped after reaching adulthood.
Had it not been for the sudden rise of wizards, Magic Dwarves might have become the dominant race after Giant Dragons.
Unfortunately, the emergence of wizards relegated Magic Dwarves to a slave race of wizards.
This time, too, the bloodline fusion elicited no violent reactions.
The fourth Bloodline Alchemy was of wizard-level, and logically, some reaction should have occurred, but there was none, so Richard concluded that the weakened fusion reactions were likely related to the Adaptation Body developing the Life Core.
The development of the Life Core made his cells more receptive to foreign bloodlines.
Feeling the surging power within his body, Richard suddenly felt an urge to fight.
“Is this what they call a combat urge? No wonder the Jialong Club built a Duel Arena.”
Richard took a deep breath, suppressing the combative urge within. As a wizard, he had to restrain his primal instincts and lead his actions with reason.
This constituted a stark difference between wizards and native races.
With the completion of the four Bloodline Alchemies, the Bloodline Alchemy Formula of the Black Knight he received from Encrypted Notes was now thoroughly completed.
But Richard’s journey with bloodlines didn’t intend to stop there.
The knowledge from the Pioneer civilization gave Richard a deeper understanding of bloodlines, and he planned to use this as a foundation to upgrade the Black Knight Bloodline Formula.
Physique Evolution had its advantages over Spiritual Evolution. For some powerful creatures, mere gradual growth could reliably elevate them to third-level creatures—like the Giant Dragons Richard had seen. However, for wizards whose innate bloodlines were not as strong, the benefits of Physique Evolution were freedom from experiencing Soul Darkness during promotion.
If undergoing Spiritual Evolution, a wizard would face Soul Darkness with each advancement.
However, the downside of Physique Evolution was also clear: its rate of improvement and the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks were several times higher than those of Spiritual Evolution.
Among the wizarding community, Spiritual Evolution was the mainstream method of advancement, and personally, Richard also favored Spiritual Evolution.
But if one could evolve physically in advance, no wizard would choose to experience Soul Darkness.
…
Bang! Bang! Bang…
In the Duel Arena, two wizards, barely resembling human forms, were brawling.
Meanwhile, in the stands of the arena, variously shaped wizards excitedly cheered them on.
“That’s the way! El, use your Oscillation Fist Skill!”
“Bazak, where’s your Gale Spike? Use it!”
“Dodge left, dodge left! Ah!”
Walking among these wizards, Richard looked somewhat bewildered.
Are these people really wizards?
They don’t seem much different from regular people.
By this time, twenty years had passed since Richard completed his Bloodline Alchemy. During these years, Richard continued researching Alchemy Machines and the knowledge left by the Pioneers.
The knowledge left by the Pioneers greatly inspired Richard, and combining this with the Adaptation Body, he developed a witchcraft called Combat Liberation.
This witchcraft was still quite crude, its effect being to forcibly promote physical evolution through the high pressure of combat and the stimulation of Magic, thereby accelerating the growth of the physique.
Therefore, Richard went to the Duel Arena, wanting to join the Jialong Club.
Passing through the stands, Richard found the white-robed wizard who had given him the business card.
“Jimmy, are these wizards all members of the club?”
Jimmy took the business card Richard handed over and patted a seat next to him.
“Sit down, friend! Any questions can wait till this fight is over!”
In the Duel Arena, a wizard covered in Scale Armor with arms similar to mantis scythes made of Magic Equipment roared and his Flesh suddenly swelled, transforming into a three-meter-tall Scale Armor giant.
Across from him, a lion-headed wizard with golden hair and four arms also refused to show weakness. Dense blood mist erupted from his body, and his figure also ballooned dramatically.
The atmosphere in the Duel Arena reached a climax at that moment, with subhuman slaves walking among the audience with silver trays, as wizards threw Magic Stones into them, loudly supporting their favorite gladiators.
Richard frowned.
“Is this gambling?”
“Go! Go… What did you say?” Jimmy turned to look at Richard.
“I asked if you are gambling? Betting on which of the two will win.”
“Of course!”
During the conversation, two massive figures collided in the Duel Arena.
Magic Power surged within the Scale Armor Giant, and just the Magic Fluctuation created an Elemental Breeze in the arena. The Golden-haired Giant was even more astonishing; his four arms glittered with Runes, and thick purple Thunder coiled around them, making him look like a Thunder God incarnate.
Boom!
The Scale Armor Giant was sent flying backward, his abdomen bore two charred fist holes. Meanwhile, the Golden-haired Giant now had only his arms!
The two arms he had used to punch the Scale Armor Giant had been pulverized into a mist of blood!
Jimmy flew from the spectator seats to the Duel Arena and announced the result to the audience.
“I declare! In this duel, Bazak wins!”
“Oh! Bazak! Bazak! Bazak…”
The Wizards in the stands cheered, some passionately even released a few Spells to celebrate.
Richard sat among them, feeling somewhat out of place.
Half an hour later, the Duel Arena returned to calm.
Jimmy came to sit beside Richard in the stands.
“How did you find this duel?”
“Speaking strictly from a combat perspective…” Richard’s mind recalled the scene of the two Gladiators fighting, “Very good, their manipulation of Magic Power and Flesh was skillful, far beyond my own.
But there’s one thing I don’t quite understand.”
“Go on.”
“Why make the combat public?” Richard frowned, “Wizards seem to have become performers, playing to an audience.”
“Why not?” Jimmy countered, “Everyone who comes to watch is a Wizard, who is nobler than whom?
Some prefer the secret pursuit of truth while others enjoy basking in the glory before a crowd.
It’s purely a matter of personal character.
Moreover, Gladiators need healing, and the Duel Arena needs maintenance; these all require Magic Stones. Surely not all of these should be paid for by the club members?”
Richard was speechless, and after a silent moment, he asked,
“Do all members have to enter the arena?”
Jimmy shook his head with a smile, “Of course not, as I just said, some prefer the secretive exploration of truth.”
Changing the subject, he continued.
“So, are you thinking of joining the club?”
“I am considering it.”
“Then have a match.” Jimmy’s eyes sparkled.
Richard was caught off guard, wondering how it had suddenly come to having a match.
Jimmy flew into the arena, “Have a match so I can gauge your level. It will help me know who among the club members you can spar with and I can also introduce you to opponents of similar strength.”
As he spoke, an astonishing Magic Wave burst forth from Jimmy, who Richard correctly perceived as a Three Rings Wizard.
“Come on, the Duel Arena is empty now, just the two of us,” Jimmy invited with a hearty laugh.
Seeing this, Richard hesitated no more, leaping into the Duel Arena.
Jimmy took off his white robe, revealing a body full of lustrous, well-toned muscles, matched with Jimmy’s sunny smile which inexplicably brought the term ‘Philosophy’ to Richard’s mind.
Jimmy opened his arms wide, his skin lit up with Magic Patterns:
“Use all your abilities, but limit it to physical melee; don’t suddenly throw a Spell, okay?”
Richard took a deep breath, a layer of black Scale Armor sprouting from his skin and immediately covering his entire body.
After undergoing Bloodline Alchemy four times, this layer of black Scale Armor could now withstand attacks up to seventy Energy Levels, and its color had deepened. Additionally, Richard’s Bloodline Transformation no longer caused his body to swell but instead increased the density of his muscles.
Richard somewhat maliciously speculated that this might be due to the Magic Dwarf Bloodline.
However, regardless of the reason, the increase in muscle density undeniably enhanced Richard’s strength and agility.
Seeing Richard’s transformation, the Magic Patterns on Jimmy’s body brightened.
As a Three Rings Wizard, he could estimate Richard’s strength just by his rich combat experience.
Bang!
Richard swiftly moved, a black fist appeared before Jimmy.
Jimmy didn’t dodge or parry, taking the punch directly with his head.
“Good strength.”
Jimmy straightened his jaw, Richard’s punch was heavier than he had anticipated.
Seeing how easily Jimmy took the punch, Richard let loose, his right arm muscles bulged, and he threw another punch.
Boom!
This punch was even faster than the speed of sound.
The resulting shockwave kicked up a cloud of dust in the Duel Arena.
Bang bang bang!
Jimmy stepped back three steps, the magically reinforced ground of the arena bore three deep footprints.
As the dust cleared, a dark fist print appeared on Jimmy’s chest.
“Excellent technique, that punch was at least five hundred Energy Levels, managing this much just with physical strength, your control over Flesh is unbelievable,” Jimmy admired.
Richard stood still, feeling every cell in his body cheering, his physical condition was better than ever.
This was a perfect opportunity for Evolution!
Richard took a deep breath and gestured to Jimmy.
“Master, could you demonstrate your strength?”
