Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 452 - 71 Preparations Before War

In the vast tiered classroom, Ali stood at the podium, explaining the basic Elemental Theory with a cool demeanor.

As an instructor at the Black Tower Wizard Academy, Ali had to teach at least one public class every week. She didn’t exactly hate this regulation, but she definitely didn’t like it either.

Due to her Bloodline, Ali’s feminine charisma was extraordinary. To Wizards, at most, it would warrant a second glance.

But even that second glance would fade with familiarity.

Yet to the Apprentices, this charisma was a deadly temptation.

Even though Ali had used a Soul Magic spell to reduce her charm, every public class she gave still attracted hordes of Wizard Apprentices.

These Apprentices, male and female, even included those who had undergone Undead Transformation. They attended the class, not for the valuable knowledge, but just to steal another glance at Ali.

However, watching these Wizard Apprentices who didn’t pay attention to the lecture, focusing instead on her, Ali wished she could point a finger and put an end to them.

Isn’t valuable knowledge far more important than a pretty shell?

Back when she was studying, there weren’t Wizards like her, explaining such practical knowledge.

"The resonance distance between Rune Nine and Rune Ten is between three to five unit lengths. If you have exchanged for the Junior Fireball Technique, you can conduct deeper research into the Magic Model of the Junior Fireball Technique, which will benefit your combat power..."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The heavy sound of the bell suddenly rang out, signifying the end of the lesson.

Ali stopped speaking the moment the bell sounded, waiting for it to fade before she directly headed out of the classroom, without any hint of lingering.

In any Wizard Academy, expecting a Wizard to extend a class was impossible.

For any Wizard, wasting time on Apprentices who were not their own students was an extravagant waste,

But as soon as she opened the door, she stopped in her tracks.

Following suit, the Wizard Apprentices in the classroom witnessed a scene they had never seen before.

Instructor Ali actually smiled.

Richard peeked into the classroom, and the packed room of Wizard Apprentices surprised him.

"So many Apprentices, your class is quite popular, Ali."

"Popular?" Ali let out a cold laugh upon hearing this. She glanced sideways at the Apprentices in the classroom and spoke with a tone of ridicule,

"More than half of these Apprentices are complete fools. Being welcomed by them only makes me feel like a joke."

Ali did not lower her voice, and the sharp and bitter ridicule was completely heard by the Apprentices in the classroom.

But what could they do upon hearing it?

Faced with Ali’s gaze, the Wizard Apprentices all bowed their heads.

In front of a Second Ring Wizard, they couldn’t even muster the courage to retort.

"That’s quite a thing to say," Richard chuckled, "We all started as Apprentices. Making silly mistakes in the beginning is normal.

Once some die off, the number of clever ones increases."

Saying this, Richard glanced at the Wizard Apprentices in the classroom.

These students were lucky; now with the impending great war of civilizations, unless the performance of the Galaxy Floating Civilization is too incompetent,

the education model of Black Wizards, which produces dozens to hundreds of Wizards every year, is bound to be canceled.

If all goes as expected, future Black Wizards will be selected from the elite White Wizards.

And these Wizard Apprentices will most likely catch this educational reform.

"These Apprentices are indeed lucky," Richard sighed slightly, then he and Ali left the classroom.

Not long after they left, sounds finally began to rise in the quiet classroom.

"Who was that male Wizard? I’ve never seen him before." An Apprentice asked, puzzled.

"That Wizard must have shown up somewhere before. He looks very familiar."

"I remember now, I’ve seen his statue. He is Master Richard, the one who opened Richard’s Magic Potion Store in the commercial district during his Apprenticeship!"

Once Richard’s identity was known, a wave of astonishment spread among the Wizard Apprentices.

For the Wizard Apprentices, things like Wizard Commerce and honorary alumni were too abstract and ethereal for them to truly grasp.

But the Magic Potion Store was directly related to them.

Most of them were loyal customers of Richard’s Magic Potion Store.

So they were very clear on how formidable the founder, Richard, was.

The main business of Richard Jolod’s Commerce was Magic Support Vehicles, but under Jolod’s arrangement, the Magic Potion business was also conducted on a small scale.

While the Magic Potion business might not be as profitable as weapons and munitions, after mass production, the Commerce still made a significant profit.

Currently, Richard Jolod’s Magic Potion Stores were expanding on a large scale within the Wizard Academies.

Jolod’s philosophy was to cultivate customers from among the Apprentices. As long as the quality of the Magic Potions was guaranteed, once the Apprentices became Wizards, they were likely to become repeat customers of the Commerce.

This was a path different from that of mainstream Magic Potion Commerce.

Most mainstream Magic Potion Commerce focused on military supplies, a path that’s highly profitable but has too many competitors.

Compared to those established businesses, Richard Jolod’s newly emerging Commerce had no competitive edge.

Carving out a new path—this was something Jolod had learned from Richard.

...

Outside the Central Black Tower, Richard and Ali chatted casually about recent events.

They had been together since their Apprenticeship, and could understand each other’s intent with just a glance.

The purpose of Richard’s visit was clear to Ali the moment she saw him.

"Sigh, it seems like I can never catch up to your pace," Ali sighed.

She did not think she was slow in advancing in strength, but compared to Richard, she felt like she was marking time, or even regressing.

In the Insect Nest World, the two could still fight side by side, but in just over a thousand years, Ali no longer had the ability to provide any support for Richard.

"I have my own opportunities," Richard said with a smile, "but if possible, you should enhance your own strength as soon as you can.

How is your bloodline development coming along?"

The bloodline that Ali had fused with, which was a combination of a giant dragon and an abyss demon, could be said to have unlimited potential.

If it were well developed, her achievements could surpass even those of the Great Wizard of the Black Tower.

"Fairly good."

Ali waved her hand casually, and a dark red flame ignited in the air. As the faint flame flickered, even space itself showed signs of distortion.

"I’ve been considering joining the Garon Wizard Academy recently. In terms of bloodline development, my teacher can’t help me much."

Although Susanna had also integrated this kind of bloodline, she was already a Three Rings Wizard at the time of the fusion.

The bloodline in her body was nowhere near as active as it was in Ali’s.

As a result, she couldn’t provide any advice on bloodline development based on Ali’s suggestions.

"Then just join," Richard said indifferently, "The old dean isn’t unreasonable, and I guess he would be more than happy for you to join the Garon Wizard Academy."

"Ah?" Ali exclaimed in surprise, "Is there something I don’t know about?"

Richard smiled mysteriously and conveyed to Ali with a spiritual message, "If nothing unexpected happens, Garon the Great Wizard will soon achieve the Truth."

Although the civilizational war is dangerous, it is also a great opportunity.

The blessings of the Wizard Rules are only granted to those who make contributions to the wizard community, and there are many such opportunities in a civilizational war.

The news Richard shared made Ali’s face suddenly change.

She looked at Richard in shock, speechless for a moment, unable to utter a single word.

After a long while, she slowly spoke, "This really is a grand era."

...

Led by Ali, Richard found Wuni within the Academy.

Wuni had now recovered to the level of a Second Ring Wizard in terms of spiritual power and would be able to return to the strength of a Three Rings Wizard in a few decades.

"Teacher, what brings you here!"

Wuni, in the laboratory, looked at Richard with surprise and delight. It had been decades since he had last seen Richard.

"I’m about to go to war again, so I came to check up on you."

Richard entered the laboratory, looking around. Although Wuni was previously a Soul Wizard, he had switched to becoming an Alchemy Wizard after following Richard.

However, like Richard, he was a pragmatist. He dabbled in alchemy machines and Synthetic Beasts alike.

In his laboratory, Richard also saw a synthetic beast that was still unfinished, half-mechanical and half-flesh.

"This is for you, my latest research. Take some time to study it."

Richard pulled out a scroll and a piece of flesh submerged in nutrient fluid from his pocket.

"You’re a Three Rings Wizard, so you can use these directly. Take the time to enhance your strength, that’s all I can say."

Seeing Richard’s serious face, Wuni carefully stored the items away.

"I will study them carefully."

Richard nodded slightly, and at this moment, Ali appropriately left, giving her teacher and apprentice a private space.

The two chatted for a long time, and after Richard left, Wuni hung a ’Do Not Disturb’ sign on the laboratory door.

A few years later, the Black Tower Wizard Academy had a new Deputy Dean named Wuni.

...

After seeing everyone he needed to, Richard did not linger long at the Academy.

Civilizational war was no child’s play, and he had to hurry to enhance his fighting power.

Returning to the Extreme North City, Richard entered his lab and pulled out a bottle of gas that looked like a cloud.

The bottle contained the bloodline of a cloud giant.

As an elemental creature, the bloodline of such beings was quite different from that of ordinary flesh and blood creatures.

In conventional bloodline formulas, the bloodlines of elemental creatures could not be mixed with those of flesh and blood creatures.

But Garon the Great Wizard had broken this limitation.

Richard looked at the bloodline and muttered to himself, "Once I fuse this bloodline into my body, the Thunder Giant Battle Body will be complete."

The complete Thunder Giant Battle Body would become a powerful aid in Richard’s warfare.

The process of bloodline fusion was not very complicated: first, inject the poison to weaken the body’s immunity, then use the Alchemy Array to fuse the bloodline into the body, and finally inject the neutralizer and stabilizer, supplemented with a large amount of energy.

The rest would be up to the body itself.

Different bloodlines collided and merged within Richard’s body, and fine threads of blood oozed out of his pores continuously.

During this process, Richard felt as if his body was being penetrated by a thousand needles repeatedly, the fine pain almost paralyzing his consciousness.

Fortunately, Richard had grown accustomed to this kind of pain.

He used Soul Magic to detach his consciousness, enduring the pain from a third-person perspective.

After a long time, Richard’s body swelled up as if inflated, quickly reaching around five meters in height.

Horrifying dragon horns sprouted on his head, and a layer of fine dragon scales grew on his skin.

Soon, small sparks of electricity began to dance around his dragon horns, signifying the successful fusion of the bloodline.

Richard opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile.

The Thunder Giant Battle Body was complete!

But before he could even stand up, his face suddenly stiffened.

An intricate pattern of faint glowing radiance involuntarily lit up on his body.
