Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 115 - 15 The Impending War
Chapter 115: Chapter 15 The Impending War
“Oh?” A playful smile appeared on the corner of Jimmy’s mouth, “Are you sure?”
Richard nodded vigorously:
“Master, let me witness the power of Physique Evolution.”
“Good!”
Jimmy’s expression turned serious, and the Magic Pattern on his body suddenly disappeared, his aura vanishing in an instant.
Even when Richard probed with spiritual power, all he felt was emptiness.
...
Jimmy’s hands came together in prayer, his tone as calm as a deep pond in the mountains.
“In the past, I followed Garon Great Wizard in campaigns across Otherworlds, and by chance, I acquired this secret called ‘Unity of Heaven and Man.’ Since you wish to see the strength of the way of the physique, I shall show you.”
With those words, Jimmy’s body suddenly grew taller, and the Magic Power of the entire Duel Arena crazily flowed into his body.
In an instant, Jimmy’s figure seemed immensely majestic, like a Demon God standing tall between heaven and earth.
Richard swallowed hard, as every cell in his body quivered wildly under the terrible intimidation.
This was indeed the precursor to Evolution!
Without hesitation, Richard pulled out a bottle of Adaptation Potion from his Magic Pocket and chewed it, bottle and all, swallowing it down.
At the same time, the Magic Power inside him began to stimulate his cells at a specific frequency.
Combat Liberation, activated!
Under the dual stimulation, Richard’s cells began to break down and disintegrate, but they were immediately replaced by new ones.
These new cells were stronger and more vigorous than the old ones.
Jimmy noticed Richard’s condition and couldn’t help asking:
“Richard, what’s happening to your body?”
Richard looked up with difficulty and said:
“Nothing, please continue.”
Upon hearing this, Jimmy didn’t say any more and swung out a punch. In that moment, Richard felt as if the sky were collapsing and the earth caving in, the whole world seeming to collapse into that single punch.
Boom!
The punch stopped in front of Richard, but the fierce punch winds tore off most of the scales on his body, leaving him bloodied.
That was just the punch wind; had Richard been hit by the punch itself, he likely would have turned into a mist of blood in an instant.
Richard took a deep breath and admired from his heart:
“What powerful witchcraft.”
Jimmy said indifferently, “You’re not bad yourself, having evolved through my punch.”
As a Three Rings Wizard who specialized in Physique, how could he not see the state Richard was in.
He handed Richard a black Crystal Ball:
“Test your Physique; this is a Crystal Ball specifically designed for that purpose, with negligible error.”
Richard accepted it and poured his Magic Power into the Crystal Ball. As a fine electric current passed through his body, the Crystal Ball displayed Richard’s Physique data.
[Physique: 64.7]
“Not bad,” Jimmy expressed surprise, “when you entered the arena, your Physique was only around sixty, this evolution boosted it by nearly five points.”
Thanks to the training of the Adaptation Body, Richard’s Physique had been slowly growing over the years, from fifty when he first advanced to be a wizard, to fifty-nine.
And in just these few seconds, Richard’s Physique had surged by more than five points.
“However, as your senior, let me give you a piece of advice.” Jimmy patted Richard’s shoulder, “There are many ways to enhance your Physique, don’t always focus on near-death stimulation.
Although this method makes your Physique grow quickly, it can create a path dependency, causing wizards to always think about promoting evolution through life-and-death battles.
If you continue down this path, sooner or later you will die on the battlefield.”
Richard nodded, taking Jimmy’s advice to heart.
The fight over, Jimmy registered some information with Richard and then met with a few club members.
The Garon Club had many members, with many being Second Ring and Three Rings wizards.
These wizards were very experienced in combat, and they were all Black Wizards, each one a fierce individual who had fought their way out of the Plane Battlefield.
These Black Wizards were not as cold and ruthless towards Richard as he had imagined, not like heartless killing machines. On the contrary, they were quite amiable when he sought their advice, and through his interactions with them, Richard gained a lot of information about the Plane Battlefield.
This information was precious to Richard, a novice to the battlefields.
After leaving the club, Richard returned to the Wizard Tower.
But as soon as he entered the Black Tower Wizard Community, he encountered Ulysses who had come looking for him.
“Gah! Boy, you’re going to join the war!”
…
In Anna’s Wizard Tower, wizards of Jolod’s faction gathered.
“Let me introduce you, these three are your senior brothers.” Jolod pointed to three wizards on one side of the parlor, all exuding a fierce aura.
The three wizards nodded to Richard, acknowledging this new junior brother.
Jolod sat at the far end of the parlor, his gaze as deep as a dark pool.
“The order from the headmaster has already been given. Three years from now, the Black Tower Wizard Academy will launch a conquest of a Miniature World.”
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the parlor fell silent.
The Plane Battlefield might be a place to make a fortune, but it was also where countless wizards met their end. Only seven wizards were in the room, but over the years of teaching, how could Jolod have only six students who became wizards?
What about those who were not present?
They all turned into skeletons and remained forever on the Plane Battlefield.
“You are all my students, and there is some connection between you all. I don’t expect you to go out of your way to help each other in this war, but if you come across an opportunity to lend a hand, it’s best if you do,” Jolod said, his voice filled with exhaustion. He had said these words more than once.
Before every war, he would say this to his students, hoping they would survive.
But reality was often cruel.
“I understand, teacher,” said an older student whom Richard didn’t recognize.
He was the most powerful among Jolod’s six students, already at the Second Ring. Observing the magic fluctuations within him, it seemed his spiritual power had reached its limit, and he was just one ritual away from becoming a Three Rings Wizard.
“Eric, you’ve grown up,” Jolod sighed as he looked at the speaking wizard, then turned his gaze to Richard and the other two.
“Anna, Chax, Richard, this is your first time participating in the Plane War, and there are some rules I need to remind you of.
In the Plane War, all wizards must obey the commands of the Great Wizard, and no one may defy the orders. Secondly, each of you participating in the war must bring at least one expendable soldier, whose strength must reach the level of Level 1 Creatures.
Lastly, regarding profits, since it is your first time participating in the war, the Academy will not reward any of you with Magic Stones, and you must hand over half of the profits you obtain in the Plane. After this war, when you participate again, you’ll be rewarded with Magic Stones from the Academy like the other wizards, and will give up only one-third of your profits.
Don’t even think about hiding any earnings. If discovered, all profits will be confiscated.”
After Jolod finished speaking, Richard and the others nodded to indicate they had taken note.
The wizards then shared their specialized areas of witchcraft before each returning to their own business, leaving only Anna and Richard in the reception hall.
“Sister, I need your help with something.”
“What is it?”
Richard found an open space and opened a Space Rift, from which he moved out the Alchemy Golem.
Anna quickly walked up to the golem, her eyes shining as if she had seen a rare treasure.
“Where did you get this? It’s an ancient Alchemy Golem; these are pretty much impossible to find now,” Anna asked casually as she gently touched the patterns on the golem.
Richard replied indifferently, “A few years ago, I came across a ruin from which I obtained this golem. I’ve been studying it all this time, but unfortunately, my skills aren’t quite there yet.
That’s why I’m asking for your help, sister, to modify this golem and install a few Magic Equipment Slots.”
“Modify?” Anna suddenly became agitated, “That’s sacrilege!”
“Such a thing, if not thoroughly researched before a rash modification, could lose many of its researchable aspects!”
“And what of it?” Richard raised an eyebrow, “If I die, all the knowledge in the world won’t matter to me.”
“You…” Anna fell silent, her face troubled as she looked at the golem.
“I can modify it, but I must make one thing clear. With the urgency of time, the structure of this golem will definitely change after the modification. Don’t blame me later for ruining your object.”
Richard smiled slightly, “No worries, as long as it works.”
Alchemy machinery was not as important to Richard as Shaping Magic. If not for his current low level of strength, needing some assistance, he might have sold this thing for Magic Stones.
“Fine, explain to me what you want.”
…
After making arrangements for the golem, Richard returned to his Wizard Tower to prepare some expendable soldiers.
For wizards, the most common expendable soldiers were Otherworldly slaves, Synthetic Beasts, and Elemental creatures.
Among these, Elementals were the most cost-effective, requiring just one Summoning Array.
Richard drew a Summoning Array on the floor of his laboratory. As magic flowed in, a Flame Giant appeared in the lab.
“Human, our contract has ended, and a new one must be signed,” declared the Flame Giant with authority.
“Indeed, a contract must be signed,” Richard cackled, and from his hand, several Rune Chains suddenly sprouted, instantly binding the Flame Giant.
The Flame Giant immediately sensed something wrong and tried to flee back to the Elemental Territory, but Richard’s Rune Chains firmly kept it anchored to the Material World.
“Human, what are you doing!”
Richard pulled out a Soul Contract from his Magic Pocket:
“Now, you have two choices. Sign this contract, or die right here.”
Saying this, Richard placed the contract before the Flame Giant:
“Decide for yourself.”
The Flame Giant scanned the contract with its mind. Its flames immediately flared in rebellion. In the language of the elements, it roared,
“Slave Contract! You lowly creature dare to enslave the kin of the great Flame Lord Field!”
Hearing this, the magic fluctuation around Richard surged drastically, nearly scattering the Flame Giant’s fiery form.
“I believe your name is Philster,” Richard said coolly. “Philster, you’d best take a good look at the situation.”

The Flame Giant Philster then realized that this human, whom he hadn’t seen in decades, had actually reached the level of a Flame Warrior.
“Now, I’ll give you three seconds to decide. In three seconds, either the contract is complete, or your soul will be scattered to the winds.”
With that, Richard raised three fingers.
“Three…”
The Flame Giant struggled ceaselessly, but the Rune Chains held it steadfast in place.
“Two…”
“I am a vassal of the great Lord Field, kill me and wait to be burned to ashes by Lord Field himself!”
“One…”
Magic waves emerged around Richard, and more than a dozen Ice Cones appeared in front of him.
“Stop! I’ll sign!”
