Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 429 - 48: Escape and Kill Race

Though the guidance of the little sprite was calm, it sounded like a thunderclap in Richard’s ears.

If before he had only suspected, he could now be certain that the Wizards had encountered another civilization.

This selection for the military personnel was just the beginning.

If nothing unexpected happened, once the two civilizations went to war, all Three Rings Wizards would be conscripted by the military department.

Moreover, as the war escalated, the Truth Council would continuously expand the scope of its draft.

A grand war unlike any before was imminent!

As for why the two civilizations wouldn’t cooperate and coexist in harmony?

Stop kidding around, a Wizard Civilization that has five Truth Wizards, more than a thousand Great Wizards, and hundreds of millions of specialized War Wizards would never choose peace.

Conquest and enslavement are the Wizards’ way of treating other races.

Besides, Richard didn’t think other civilizations would coexist in harmony with the Wizard Civilization.

Not every civilization is a melting pot like the Gods Civilization, with members of all sorts of races.

"The great era is coming," Richard muttered to himself.

Following the guide sprite, Richard arrived at a luxurious palace. Inside, Wizards from different academies and Towers of Truth gathered together.

Some of these Wizards looked puzzled, some furrowed their brows tightly, some were brimming with fighting spirit, while others lazily yawned.

These people were all elites among the common Wizards, one in ten thousand. And here, they were just ordinary attendees at the meeting.

"Please wait a moment," the guide sprite said to Richard with a bow, "The meeting will officially begin once everyone has arrived."

Richard scanned the hall and couldn’t help but frown.

There wasn’t a single White Wizard in the entire palace; all were Black Wizards.

"What is the council trying to do?"

Richard looked at the Wizards in the hall and, after confirming there was no one he knew, quietly slipped into a corner of the palace to wait for what would follow.

Before long, as a Wizard who resembled a Stone Giant stepped into the palace, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

"Silence."

The hall quickly quieted down.

Seeing the hall’s silence, the shadowy figure spoke, "I am the person in charge of this Wizard meeting, the Minister of the Wizard World Exploration Department, the Great Wizard of the Bronze Spear.

Due to institutional reform, from now on, the Three Rings Wizards’ meeting is no longer held by individual Towers of Truth alone; all Three Rings Wizards will come to a world under the council’s jurisdiction.

In addition, the previous system of voluntary selection has been revoked; now all Three Rings Wizards must participate in the selection for the Wizard World Exploration Department personnel.

Wizards who pass the selection will automatically join the Wizard World Exploration Department.

Take note that whether you are a student of a Great Wizard or a descendant, this rule applies to all Wizards."

Upon hearing this, the Wizards in the palace immediately erupted into an uproar.

The military, although offering great benefits and treatment, required them to participate in Plane Wars far more frequently than the average Wizard.

Joining the military meant that numerous battles would be in their future.

Moreover, this statement also revealed a dangerous signal, that this was just the beginning.

Once forced conscription began, it would not stop.

"Silence!"

Although the Bronze Spear Great Wizard was just a shadowy figure, when he spoke, a terrifying pressure still emanated from it, silencing the entire palace.

"Due to institutional reform, the original rules of the Wizard World Exploration Department have also been modified. Members of the Wizard World Exploration Department can now exchange war merits for various resources and benefits.

This includes, but is not limited to, qualifying for advancement to Great Wizard."

Qualification for advancement to Great Wizard...

It was like a drop of water in boiling oil; the announcement immediately set the palace abuzz again.

Becoming a Great Wizard was something many Three Rings Wizards had longed for in their dreams, but over the years, countless had found themselves blocked by the advancement qualification.

Now, the Truth Council had actually opened up the authority to advance to Great Wizard!

After the tumult came silence; the Wizards enthusiastically looked to the Bronze Spear Great Wizard, anticipating his next message.

The effect of offering a sweet date after a beating was quite remarkable.

Although the Three Rings Wizards knew that the military merits needed for promotion to Great Wizard would be astronomical, and that very few Wizards would likely survive to the day they could exchange them, hope was tempting. Even if they knew it was like moths to a flame, they were willing to be those moths.

"The major changes are just these; the rest are some details that will be given to you in a booklet after the meeting.

Next, I will announce the rules of this assessment.

You will be randomly teleported to any corner of this world and undergo a selection similar to the bloody exams of your apprentice days.

Of course, you are far more valuable than those Wizard Apprentices, so you will be protected. Your guide sprites will ensure you do not die in this selection.

Once the protection of a sprite is activated, you might as well have lost the qualification.

And your task in this selection is to defeat other Wizards as much as possible.

Defeating one Wizard will earn you a point, and at the end of thirty days, the competition will conclude. At that time, the top one hundred scoring Three Rings Wizards will join the Exploration Department."

The Bronze Spear Great Wizard paused briefly.

"Additionally, I think you’ve all recognized that this world is one that we’ve recently conquered and still contains many resistance forces.

The information on these creatures will be transmitted to you by the guide sprites later. Killing these resisting creatures will also earn you points.

The selection will begin in thirty seconds. Prepare yourselves."

With those words, the shadowy figure of the Bronze Spear Great Wizard suddenly vanished. From beneath the floor of the palace, slight Magic Fluctuations could be heard—it was the signal for the activation of the Teleportation Array.

"No wonder they’re all Black Wizards..."

Richard looked at the uniformly black Wizard Robes inside the hall and a reminiscing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"So, it’s going to be a hunt-or-be-hunted competition," Wizard Apprentice murmured to himself.

Although both were Three Rings Wizards, Black Wizards generally had superior individual combat abilities compared to White Wizards.

Due to the division of labor, White Wizards tended to focus their research on witchcraft that could amplify the abilities of their subordinates, or on spells that could coordinate and deploy the magic power of other wizards.

Black Wizards, on the other hand, were more concerned with enhancing their own combat power.

Richard muttered, "I wonder how the White Wizards will select their candidates. The Tower of Truth surely can’t summon a Wizard Army to fight it out, can they?"

...

In the palace of the White Wizards, the Bronze Spear Great Wizard was announcing the selection rules for the White Wizards.

"This time, you will enter the Soul Mysterious Realm of Magic Equipment. There, you can arrange the configuration of your own legion.

There are many types of slaves you can choose from, allowing you to mix and match your legion as you please, but remember, the number in your legion is fixed; you must make sacrifices to gain advantages.

The competition will use a points-based system. Defeating an opponent will score you a point, and you will not face the same opponent again.

At the end of the competition, the top one hundred wizards in points will join the Wizard World Exploration Department.

You will begin the competition in thirty seconds."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom image of the Bronze Spear Great Wizard vanished abruptly, leaving the White Wizards with bewildered looks on their faces.

"The Soul Mysterious Realm? What is that?"

"I thought we were going to fight in the World Mirror with our Slave Army. My witchcraft is perfect for slaves." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Using the Soul Mysterious Realm, the council is really spending a lot of resources this time."

While the wizards were discussing, the floor of the palace began to glow.

Thirty seconds later, all the wizards in the palace had disappeared without a trace.

...

As the scene before his eyes gradually returned to normal, Richard, holding the World Tree Staff, curiously examined his surroundings.

The Galaxy World, lacking anything like a sun, existed under a perpetual twilight.

Beneath the cold light of the stars, the earth seemed coated with a layer of silvery white, appearing peaceful and serene.

"The world is so vast, it’s going to be difficult to find other wizards," Richard complained as he surveyed the plains before him.

"There’s no need for concern," replied the guide sprite suddenly appearing beside Richard, its tone calm. "I possess the ability to detect nearby sprites. If you wish, I can show you the locations of the Three Rings Wizards within a fifty-kilometer radius.

However, while I’m using this ability, other guide sprites will also be able to sense me, so please use it with caution.

Additionally, the battlefield will shrink every ten days.

Any wizard who fails to reach the competition area within a day will automatically be considered withdrawn from the contest."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Richard’s mouth twitched.

"It really is a full-scale battle royale."

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed from afar.

Richard’s gaze stretched out, and he saw two Three Rings Wizards had already encountered each other, engaging in an intense spell battle.

"It seems I don’t need your help for the time being," Richard offhandedly said to the sprite as he watched the two wizards.

"There are points coming my way."

...

Goring considered himself to be a Child of Destiny.

Even before becoming a Wizard Apprentice, he was a prince of an Empire, one step below the top, yet above tens of thousands.

After becoming an Apprentice, his astonishing talent caught the attention of an old Wizard, who took him as his successor.

After becoming a Wizard, not only did he manage to avoid any injury in his first Plane War, but he also reaped a bountiful harvest.

The money he earned was even more than his mentor’s.

The things he studied were always valuable, and his approach was exceptionally accurate.

In every Plane War he took part in, although there were moments of crisis, he always managed to turn misfortune into fortune and crisis into opportunity.

Not long ago, during the Great Wizard selection, he had narrowly missed selection.

He thought his luck had finally run out, but he didn’t expect that the Truth Council would reform the system!

Without undergoing the Great Wizard Trial, he could now obtain the rank of Great Wizard by simply joining the Military Department.

As a wizard, he had always scoffed at the concept of a Child of Destiny.

But now, he was starting to believe it.

He was the Child of Destiny!

With that thought, Goring waved his Magic Wand, utilizing the power of the rules to boost his Spell’s power to Ten Thousand Energy Level.

Looking at the three-ring wizard before him, with his precarious Magic Barrier.

Goring said in a low voice, "Friend, it’s over! Your defeat is not due to your ability but because you faced me—

Child of Destiny, Goring!"

With those words, a dazzling light pierced through the Magic Barrier.

The wizard inside the Magic Barrier vanished into thin air.

"One point secured!" Goring said with some excitement.

But his excitement did not cloud his judgment, and soon after, Goring opened his mouth and emitted a series of ultrasonic waves, inaudible to human ears.

It was a Reconnaissance Magic he had developed based on a creature called Shadow Bat, with a detection range of about ten kilometers.

Quickly, he turned his head to the left.

There, a Black Wizard holding a Dark Gold Wand was rapidly approaching.

A scornful smile appeared on Goring’s face.

"I truly am a Child of Destiny, just minutes in and another point is on its way."
