Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 57 - : Legendary Apprentice

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Legendary Apprentice

As Koguk’s head rolled off his shoulders, a black glow emerged from his body and shot into the mark on Richard’s hand.

Hum!

An enormous wave of astonishing fluctuations spread out, instantly covering the entire combat trial area.

All the apprentices taking the exam felt this wave and discerned a piece of information from it.

“Monster 0521 has been slain by Apprentice Richard, nine monsters remain.”

“Someone killed one of the monsters released by the Academy! And it’s only the first day!”

The apprentices looked incredulously towards the direction of the disturbance, their eyes filled with both awe and fear.

Just what sort of strength would a Wizard Apprentice require to slay a monster with the power of an Advanced Apprentice in such a short amount of time?

At the same time, all the apprentices in the combat trial area who had planned to hunt monsters turned their gazes towards Richard.

An apprentice who was tall and wielding a magic wand looked in Richard’s direction, “Richard, interesting.”

Next to him, a three-meter-tall Flame Giant exuded a terrifying aura.

…

A young apprentice draped in a black robe looked in Richard’s direction and smiled, stroking his chin. In his hand, a battered scarecrow emitted an evil presence.

…

“Richard, that name sounds familiar. Is he the one selling magic potions?”

A blind-eyed apprentice pondered the information, casually pointing, and a student who resembled a zombie came toward him, very much alive but with a vacant gaze as if under some form of control.

“Have you heard of Richard?”

…

“Now you’re famous,” Ali teased as she walked up beside Richard, “According to the previous rules of the Academy, you’re now a Legendary Apprentice!”

Ali naturally received the same information from the wave.

“Legend or not, who knew the Academy would resort to such tactics.”

Richard’s feelings were complex at this moment, unable to tell whether he was happy or annoyed. He had always preferred not to draw attention when going about his affairs, but the Academy’s full server broadcast genuinely vexed him.

However, thinking of the fifty points, Richard took some comfort.

After killing Koguk, Richard’s points increased by fifty, catapulting him to the top of the leaderboard. Unless something unforeseen happened, Richard had firmly secured the Academy’s reward.

“You’ve taken care of this one, so the next is mine,” Ali said with a whistle, and Wuni, who was in the sky, landed on Richard’s shoulder in response.

“Of course.”

As he spoke, Richard bent down and took the Great Sword that had belonged to Koguk into his hands.

The Great Sword was engraved with magic runes, apparently intended to increase its power. But as an apprentice of the Alchemy School, Richard immediately recognized the real purpose of these runes.

Crack, crack, crack…

As Richard infused Magic Power into the runes, the Great Sword crumbled to pieces in his hands.

The sole purpose of these runes was to make the sword disintegrate, revealing what was hidden inside.

Among the fragments, Richard found a ring. The moment he touched it, the Miracle Furnace within his soul quivered slightly.

“Raw material: Power Ring”

“Extraction information available: Power Amplification Technique Magic Model”

“Extraction cost: 20 spiritual power”

“Techniques available for extraction: Magic Engraving (incomplete)”

“Extraction cost: 10 spiritual power”

“Power Ring?” Richard slipped the ring onto his finger and channeled Magic Power into it. In a flash, he felt a special energy flow through his blood and invigorate his entire body.

“This energy must be… some kind of Life Energy.”

Richard touched the ring, now able to discern certain things with the knowledge he had learned as an apprentice no longer just starting out.

Richard activated his Bloodline again, and with the aid of the Spell, he swung his sword, the sword wind instantly flattening a swath of grass.

“Strength has increased by about thirty percent. If I add the power of liberation, my strength could exceed three times that of my normal state. The only drawback is that the injuries I sustain are likely to be more severe.”

Using “liberation” as a technique wasn’t without cost. The human body didn’t limit power without reason; once liberation was used, muscle strains and tears were the least of one’s worries, severe consequences could even include snapped bones.

Having tested the ring, Richard took out a piece of not-so-fresh flesh from his Magic Pocket and fed it to Wuni.

It had been fifteen days since Richard arrived at the test site. Even with Magic Pocket’s protection, the flesh he had prepared for Wuni had become slightly stale. Although the corpse of the creature in front of him was fresh flesh, for some reason, Richard shuddered every time he recalled its pre-death gaze.

He decided to make the creature’s death worth a little more.

Time to do some slicing.

Thinking this, Richard took out a set of tools, planning to collect some of Koguk’s flesh and organs for research.

Wuni, whose digestive system was modified, didn’t care whether the flesh was fresh or not. After devouring the flesh, it affectionately rubbed against Richard.

Richard packed away the slices, and the remaining parts of the corpse were turned to ashes with a spell.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Richard released Wuni, “Eat up, then get to work.”

With Wuni, this satellite-like helper, Richard’s speed in searching for monsters was far beyond that of other Apprentices.

Soon, he found a second monster.

“Three kilometers due east, let’s go!”

…

At the Central Black Tower, the Wizards were abuzz with discussions, looking at the points board.

Less than six hours after releasing the enslaved monsters, the first one had been killed.

This speed far exceeded that of normal exams.

“Jolod, you’ve taken on a good student,” Alex remarked, looking at the top of the points board.

Using the Crystal Ball, the hall’s Wizards had seen the entire battle in which Richard and his partner had killed Koguk.

Richard and his partner’s tactics weren’t clever, and there was nothing novel about the application of their Magic Pet.

But in this exam, these unsophisticated tactics and unremarkable applications combined like a chemical reaction, working surprisingly well.

Using the right method in the right place was a manifestation of Wizard wisdom.

Jolod accepted the praise without modesty; in his view, Richard’s actions were indeed worthy of it.

He looked at the points board and suddenly transmitted his voice through magic,

“Alex, the top ten get into the Dean’s Secret Realm… what about the top three?”

Alex shook his head, “The rewards for the top three are decided by the Dean. Until he announces them, none of us know.”

“But what’s certain is that the reward will be of considerable value, it might even make you and me envious.”

…

The second monster Richard found resembled an oversized mosquito, its patterned translucent wings constantly emitting an irritating buzz.

Before Richard got to the scene, the mosquito had already drained an Apprentice dry with its slender proboscis.

“Kind of disgusting,” Richard said, looking at the thick liquid dripping from the Mosquito Monster’s mouthparts, feeling a wave of revulsion.

If Koguk had seemed fierce and fervent, then this insect in front of him evoked pure disgust.

Such creatures shouldn’t exist in this world.

Buzz!

Upon noticing Richard, the Mosquito Monster immediately flew towards him. The patterns on its wings dazzled with hypnotic colors under the light, causing dizziness.

A layer of black flames ignited on the sword, Richard gripped the Great Sword, instantly transforming into a Black Scale Giant. At the same time, the Power Ring was activated, and energy flowed through his bloodstream, his muscles bulging once more as an unprecedented force roared within Richard’s body.

With the Power Ring’s help, Richard’s strength reached a new zenith.

In a flash, Richard appeared behind the Mosquito Monster.

The Mosquito Monster continued to buzz its wings, seemingly unharmed.

Didn’t hit it?

The next instant, something fell to the ground.
