Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Abyss Suppression, a divine art created by the civilization of gods to control the Abyss Erosion.

The original version of this divine art could only be learned by becoming a Divine, but after several simplifications, this art was finally accessible to third-level creatures, albeit with significantly reduced power.

The number of followers in the Miracle Sect had already reached tens of millions, and as their Main God, Richard now possessed a considerable amount of Power of Faith.

Thus, Richard had learned quite a few lower-level divine arts from Ulysses, including the simplified version of Abyss Suppression.

Richard threw a complex Rune into the Dragon Blood; quickly, the highly active Dragon Blood calmed down.

Richard allowed his soul to exit its shell and enter the body in the experimental chamber.

Immediately afterward, he injected the heart with the Dragon Blood treated with Abyss Suppression.

Thud!

Richard felt his heart thump violently; a severe pain burst from his heart, spreading instantly through his nerves to his entire body.

But soon, this pain, striking like lightning, was replaced by a scorching heat akin to a branding iron.

An extremely concentrated and complex pentagon alchemy array emerged on his chest. The Dragon Blood he injected into his body constantly merged with Richard's body under the influence of the alchemy array, yet his body underwent no changes at all.

Such was the miraculous nature of the Transformation Battle Body; it was cultivated much like hybrid blood but used more like a Bloodline Seed.

If the Wizard did not actively release the Transformation Battle Body, the merged Bloodline would not alter the Wizard's flesh.

Soon, the fusion was complete.

Richard stood up from the culture chamber, and at a thought, the Magic Rebound in his body transformed into an extremely complex energy cycle.

Under this new energy cycle, his body began to undergo dramatic changes.

Pale Dragon Scales pierced through his skin, crazily spreading across his body. Then, his body organs started to mutate.

His heart became larger, his lung lobes began to proliferate, and nameless glands and tiny bizarre bones emerged almost out of nowhere from his flesh.

Richard was undergoing an intense Dragon Transformation.

This transformation lasted for about a minute, during which Richard's body changed dramatically.

His body grew significantly sturdier, and his height suddenly reached around two meters and fifty centimeters. His body was covered with a layer of bone-like Dragon Scales adorned with golden patterns, looking noble and mysterious. On his head, a pair of somewhat fierce Dragon Horns faintly crackled with electricity.

"Is this what Dragon Transformation feels like? It feels pretty good," Richard said, slightly excited, as he felt the changes in his body.

Though his physique had not changed due to Dragon Transformation, he could feel that his current body's strength, agility, and speed far surpassed his previous body.

No wonder Giant Dragons could become the dominants of the Wizard World; these physical conditions were too formidable.

Hog, who was nearby, saw Richard suddenly undergo Dragon Transformation, and his eyes nearly popped out.

He could now be very certain that Richard was Dragon Transformed.

But why would Richard, a Wizard, Dragon Transform himself for no reason? Dragon Transformation was irreversible.

After some thought, Hog cautiously inquired, "Uhm... Master? Have you undergone Dragon Transformation?"

Hearing Hog's voice, Richard turned to look at the Giant Dragon.

"Yes, now try commanding me using the Dragon Language."

Hog was startled, "Ah? That doesn't seem very proper."

"I need to test something, hurry up!"

Seeing Richard's firm attitude, Hog reluctantly tried commanding in the Dragon Language, "Come here, servant."

Upon hearing the command, Richard distinctly felt an abnormal movement in his body.

He could feel an unusual bioelectric current forming in his brain, which involuntarily made his body obey the command.

A slight smile curled up on Richard's lips: "So that's how it is."

After speaking, Richard used Flesh Control to lift his skull, and then his soul left his body, manipulating Magic Power to move aside his brain.

After the brain was moved, something resembling a ganglion appeared in front of Richard.

In the Dragon Transformation kinds' anatomical maps that Richard obtained, this ganglion was often thought to assist in the release of Dragon Language Magic.

"Tsk tsk, all these wizards keep the real stuff hidden and put out the wrong things," Richard murmured.

Richard didn't believe that, over so long a time, wizards had not discovered the secrets of Giant Dragons controlling Dragon Blood Species.

Crazed individuals were not rare among wizards; they must have discovered such things that only required Dragon Transformation of a body long ago.

But they simply never talked about it.

Once he pinpointed the issue, Richard quickly modified this ganglion.

For this, he specifically sought the help of Jolod and several Alchemy Wizards who owed him favors.

After the modification of the ganglion, the body's normal functions remained unimpaired, and the commands of Giant Dragons could no longer activate this ganglion.

With everything in place, Richard soon completed the cultivation of the Transformation Battle Body on his own body.

…

Apart from cultivating the Transformation Battle Body, Richard's planned Combat Company was also gradually taking shape.

According to Richard's plan, this Combat Company would have a total of five hundred people; each twenty people forming a Combat Squad and one hundred people forming a Combat Company.

The members of the Combat Squad were composed of eighteen First Level Fire Lizards, and two Second Level Fire Lizards, with the two Second Level Fire Lizards serving as the Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader of the Combat Squad.

And each Combat Squad's Team Leader would be the Company Commander of the Combat Company to which the squad belonged.

In the Secret Realm, the fully assembled Fire Lizard Battle Group stood neatly in front of Richard, ready for his inspection.

These Fire Lizards were all dressed in brand new craftsman type Single Soldier Armor, equipped with standard Scimitars, standard small Dragon Breath Guns, and five standard javelins.

The equipment was somewhat crude, but as a start-up, Richard was unclear about what weapons to prepare for them at the moment, so he let the Fire Lizard Craftsmen make the current equipment based on their experience.

After the inspection was completed, Richard nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, this is what an army should look like."

When this group of Fire Lizards first entered the Secret Realm, they were nothing like this; at that time, their Battle Group was incredibly disorganized. Although five hundred Fire Lizards were gathered together, they looked more like a body forcibly stitched together.

Once they moved, the body's arms and legs were all about to come apart.

Clearly, this type of Battle Group was far from meeting Richard's standards.

To address this, Richard recalled Makar to the Secret Realm to act as the drill instructor for this disorganized group of Fire Lizards.

And this training lasted five years.

Now that Richard was about to join an expedition, this group of Fire Lizards finally resembled proper soldiers.

Richard approached the front of the Battle Group and patted Makar's shoulder.

"Not bad, you've worked hard during this time."

Makar respectfully responded, "It is my duty."

"Wait a moment, I'll send you back. You won't need to join this expedition."

"Huh?"

Makar was suddenly startled, somewhat doubting what he had heard.

"You heard me right," Richard said indifferently. "I'll go on this expedition alone."

"But sir, your safety..."

Richard smiled, "You needn't worry about my safety, Makar."

As he spoke, Ulysses landed on Richard's shoulder.

By now, Richard's strength had reached that of a Three Rings Wizard, and he had also practiced the Transformation Battle Body and inherited much from Changshan Temple.

In terms of combat power, Richard was no less than Makar. In a real battle, it was still uncertain who would need to protect whom.

And during the last Academy War, it was purely because Ulysses could not enter; as a guard, Ulysses was much more useful than them.

Makar looked at Ulysses and then bowed, "As you will."

...

After sending Makar back to the Red Sun World, Richard casually visited the community of the Black Tower Wizard Academy and returned to the Wizard Tower where he used to live.

Looking at the Wizard Tower he was so familiar with, Richard rang the doorbell.

Ring, ring, ring...

The sound of the doorbell resounded, and a wizard flew out of the window on the second floor, landing in front of the main door.

"Teacher, what brings you here!"

Although Richard had left the Black Tower Wizard Academy, he did not take Wuni with him. After his departure, his Wizard Tower naturally passed to Wuni.

Richard patted Wuni's head, smiling, "It's nothing, I'm joining an expedition and came to check on you, and also to leave something for you."

"Expedition?" Wuni was startled, then expressed concern, "Teacher, why are you suddenly joining an expedition? You don't lack Magic Essence, what do you need to join an expedition for?"

Richard laughed, "It's a requirement from the Academy, and I have no choice. Besides, even if the Academy hadn't mandated it, I would still have joined the expedition."

"Ah? Why is that?"

"Because to become a Great Wizard, simply relying on Magic Essence isn't enough," Richard sighed softly, "Magic Essence is just an aid; to truly become a Great Wizard, a wizard's capabilities matter the most.

Without enough strength, even participating in the Great Wizard selection would simply be heading to one's death."

Wuni looked at Richard with a bit of surprise; he hadn't expected that Richard, having just become a Three Rings Wizard, was already considering how to become a Great Wizard.

"Alright, let's go inside. I have something for you."

Entering the Wizard Tower, Richard took out a few sealed scrolls from his pocket and handed them to Wuni.

"Although I am confident about this war, just to be prepared, we still need to do what's necessary.

These scrolls contain records of my research findings and property distribution.

If something unexpected happens to me in the war, these scrolls will automatically open, and then you just follow the instructions in my will."

Wuni solemnly took the scrolls, placing them in his pocket.

"Don't worry, Teacher, nothing will happen to you."

Hearing this, Richard felt a warm sensation in his heart.

He was no longer alone.

"Alright, now that I've given you these, I should head back."

Richard stood up ready to leave, but as he was walking to the front door of the Wizard Tower, he stopped.

"I almost forgot, one of those scrolls, the black one, you should pay attention to it. If I go missing, open that scroll."

"Okay," Wuni responded.

...

After returning to the Wizard Tower, Richard intimately spent some time with Ali.

This departure would last at least a hundred years, and for them, not seeing each other for over a century was still something unprecedented.

And after his intimate time with Ali, Richard then entered the Nightmare World.

There, he would do his final enhancement of combat strength—he was going to elevate his spiritual power to the absolute peak of a Three Rings Wizard.
