Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 510 - 55: Settlement

Richard’s figure flashed, suddenly appearing in front of the glowing turtle shell.

The Sect Leader facing Richard, seeing his sinister smile, was frightened to the core.

"How did this menacing star get so close all of a sudden?"

But before he could react, Richard threw a punch, shattering his protective Gang Qi with a bang, and grabbed his head.

Immediately after, Richard folded his arm, and with a snap, he forcibly tore off the Sect Leader’s head from his neck.

The other Sect Leaders were so terrified by this scene that they lost all their courage, although they were not strangers to such bloody scenes.

But no one had ever imagined that someone could do such a thing to a Martial Arts Master...

Just when the others thought of escaping, a voice from among the Sect Leaders suddenly roared, "Gentlemen, if we cannot kill this demon star today, we will surely perish here.

Do you think your sects can stop him from attacking our Mountain Gate?"

Hearing this, Richard looked with interest at the speaker.

It was a robust Wild Beastman, resembling a steel tower, who if Richard remembered correctly, should be Yue Fengshan, the Sect Leader of the Taiyue Sect.

The Taiyue Sect was the first to attack the Banshan Sect back then and is now the largest sect in Chengshan City after the Banshan Sect.

At this moment, Sect Leader Yue’s hair fluttered wildly, his eyes glaring angrily at Richard, looking like an infuriated lion.

The other Sect Leaders, encouraged by his roar, quickly gathered around him.

"Old Demon Chu, you really think that gaining a bit of understanding of the Heavenly Dao, you can dominate Chengshan City?"

Sect Leader Yue roared, and suddenly a mountain phantom emerged around him. Under this mountain phantom, everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure as if a mountain loomed over them.

"Oh?! An unexpected gain."

Richard was pleasantly surprised looking at Yue Fengshan, not expecting these Wild Beastmen to have comprehended rules.

This was a huge gain.

So, without waiting for Yue Fengshan to say anything else, a layer of luminescence suddenly lit up on Richard. Soon after, a radiant light burst from his fist, instantly piercing through Yue Fengshan’s mountain phantom and incinerating his head.

Even with rules, these third-level creatures were just slightly stronger insects.

Immediately after, Richard’s figure moved, his body turning into trails of afterimages. The remaining major sect leaders stood no chance; they all turned into headless corpses.

Moments later, Richard returned to the Chengshan Building.

Fourteen families in Chengshan Building and now only two remained: the Jiuxiao Sect, used as pawns, and of course, the Banshan Sect, to which Richard belonged.

As Richard landed, Kong Xiong hurriedly approached him.

"Master is mighty!"

Richard nodded slightly, casually saying, "Gather those bodies and hang them at the headquarters, then summon the sect disciples to follow me on a house-to-house reckoning."

Kong Xiong was momentarily stunned, then fervently shouted, "Yes!"

The Banshan Sect had been declining for too long; it was time to show the people of Chengshan City who truly was the number one sect.

After arranging everything, Richard landed on the first floor of the Chengshan Building and kindly spoke to Manager Qian, "Manager Qian, today’s losses are on the Banshan Sect’s account. After today’s events, you can ask Kong Xiong for reimbursement.

Annexing his position without any legitimate claim, Richard strode out of the Chengshan Building.

Chu Yuan was a drunkard—a good cover, useful for hiding many things—so Richard didn’t plan to abandon it.

He opened the jug of liquor, sniffed its fragrance, and theatrically said, "Good wine!"

He took a big gulp from the jug, then soared into the air, heading towards the nearest major sect from the Chengshan Building.

Today was a day of reckoning; no sect that had encroached on the Banshan Sect would escape.

People murmured as they watched Richard’s retreating figure, "Chengshan City is about to change."

...

Taiyue Sect Headquarters.

A fire blazed into the sky, illuminating half of it, the retaliation from the Banshan Sect so sudden that the Taiyue Sect had no defense and was invaded by the disciples of the Banshan Sect.

"Chu Yuan! Are you truly determined to eradicate us today?"

In the sky, an elderly Beastman with white hair and a withered body wailed. Not far from him, Richard stood in the air, his body robust and full of vitality, as if in his prime.

"Eradicate?" Richard scoffed coldly, "You scoundrels wanted to split my Banshan Sect and dare to bark here!"

Without pausing, Richard threw a dazzling punch across the night sky, instantly piercing through the old Beastman’s chest.

Though the old Beastman’s fighting spirit was still present, his body couldn’t support him any longer.

Spirit, Qi, and Essence are interdependent; without breaking through in all three as either a Martial Artist of the Evil Path or a Grandmaster, relying on any single aspect is unsustainable.

Seeing their old Sect Leader punched through by Richard, the morale of the Taiyue Sect disciples plummeted, allowing the numerically inferior Banshan Sect disciples to suppress them.

In this atmosphere, many young disciples of the Banshan Sect even broke through their limits on the battlefield, advancing from Martial Artists to Martial Masters.

Richard stood in the air, laughing outwardly but inwardly calm.

His spiritual power silently swept across those breakthrough Beastmen, covertly memorizing their appearances.

The Bloodline Talent of the Wild Beastmen remained unknown in the investigations of Wizards, but according to the Reconnaissance Wizards, this talent allowed them to become first-level creatures without the need for qualifications.

That is to say, with specialized training, a Wild Beastman could become a Level 1 Creature upon reaching adulthood.

And from the current situation, behind this quality-independent characteristic of Wild Beastmen, hides a deeper secret.

Sudden breakthroughs on the battlefield were not uncommon, but the frequency of such breakthroughs among Wild Beastmen was unusually high.

In just the battle at Taiyue Sect alone, Richard had witnessed dozens of examples.

You must know, the disciples following Richard numbered only a few hundred, and with nearly one percent of them achieving sudden breakthroughs, this completely defied all reasons.

Richard thought to himself, "Perhaps, I should conduct some experiments with a few Wild Beastmen."

Marking those Wild Beastmen who achieved sudden breakthroughs, Richard’s figure flashed towards the Scripture Pavilion of Taiyue Sect.

Richard’s first target upon infiltrating the Taiyue Sect was the Scripture Pavilion. The guards of the pavilion had been slain by Richard before they could kill the old Beastman.

To prevent anyone from setting fire to the Scripture Pavilion, Richard even attached a simple Sealing on the upper floors to ensure its safety.

His raids on these sects were not for the revenge of the Banshan Sect as he claimed publicly. His real objective was the Martial Arts Secret Manuals of these sects.

Analyzing Martial Arts inevitably required vast data as materials.

The secret manuals from just the Banshan Sect alone were far from enough.

Upon entering the Scripture Pavilion, the rich scent of books invigorated Richard.

"The scent of knowledge is always so alluring."

Richard waved his hand, and a rift to the Secret Realm opened in mid-air. Shelf after shelf of books were thrown into the Secret Realm by him.

In no time, he reached the top floor of the Scripture House.

"Oh? Martial Arts Sealing Technique?"

Looking at the clearly sealed books in front of him, Richard’s interest was instantly piqued.

"This war will definitely advance the Wizard Civilization by a great leap!"

Taking away all the sealed books, Richard turned and disappeared from the Scripture House. Before leaving, he also destroyed the Sealing he had left behind.

Soon, a great fire started in the Scripture House.

Besides the Scripture Pavilion, there was another place in Taiyue Sect worth visiting.

Richard flew towards the main hall of the Taiyue Sect, and soon saw Kong Xiong directing disciples from various routes, surrounding the hall.

"Kong Xiong, what are you doing?"

Richard landed and watched the scene somewhat puzzled.

"Master, you have arrived." Upon hearing this, Kong Xiong quickly ran to Richard’s side, "Someone fled into this great hall. According to the disciples of Taiyue Sect who have surrendered, that person should be Yue Fengshan’s son.

But there are Qi Men Array flags set by people under Qi Men inside this hall, I did not dare to enter, so I had to surround it and wait for you to come."

"Qi Men Array?"

Richard turned to look at the great hall, and silently activated his Energy Vision.

The Qi Men Array was a type of Magic Array used by Wild Beastmen, but unlike other Magic Arrays, the Qi Men Array relied heavily on treasures. When setting up an array, it often required a precious rarity as the Array Eye, or flags made from some exotic treasures.

However, although Qi Men Arrays were not as versatile as Magic Arrays, they possessed significant power.

Richard had seen in ancient texts that an Array Master of Qi Men had used a mountain as the flag and a great lake as the Array Eye, connecting Earth Veins’ Magic Power, creating a microcosm within the Array.

"Eh? Quite interesting!"

Richard looked at the great hall in amazement. This hall showed no change under his Energy Vision.

His usually infallible Energy Vision was unexpectedly blocked.

Richard approached the front door and pushed open the giant wooden doors of the hall.

Inside, the hall was shrouded in mist, a fog of unknown origin enveloped the hall tightly.

Richard tried to probe with his spiritual power, but the result was voidness.

"Even more interesting."

Richard smiled and stepped into the hall. In an instant, he felt as if the heavens and earth around him had shifted.

But soon, Richard deciphered the cause behind this sensation.

"Magnetic field?" Richard casually waved, and an almost imperceptible flash of lightning passed by, "Influencing my senses with magnetic fields."

Having recognized the nature of the interference, dealing with it was not a problem.

A faint light glowed over Richard, blocking the magnetic field that affected his senses.

Having blocked the magnetic field, Richard felt as if he was back in the Wilderness Land again. To quickly find the hidden youngster, he casually took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on his face, and slightly infused them with Magic Power.

The next moment, a wave of energy passed through the curtains, spreading around.

Scanning barriers in the surface space couldn’t stop the Dimension Eye.

Soon, he turned towards his left and spoke lightly, "Hand over the Array, and I can spare your life."

In the mist, Yue Feng looked tense. Not far in front of him, an old Beastman with white hair and beard, with a calm expression, promised him.

The look of the old Beastman, as if seeing through the rain and fog concealment Array, fell directly on him.

"He is deceiving me! He must be deceiving me!"

Yue Feng comforted himself inwardly, this rain and fog concealment Array could even block a Grandmaster’s gaze for a moment, this old Beastman definitely couldn’t see through it momentarily.

But the next moment, a voice came from behind him.

"Do I really need to ask before you are willing to hand over the items?"
