Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 349 -65: Apprentice Wuni

Richard looked somewhat dumbfounded at the little person the flesh ball had transformed into.

“What’s going on here?”

“Refining a nightmare rule, how did it turn out to be a living person?”

Richard turned to Ulysses, “Ulysses, do you have any idea what this is about?”

Ulysses was also taken aback, for as a World Master who had battled east and west in Gods Civilization for so many years, he was widely experienced.

But such an event was still a first for him.

The thing had stayed in his stomach for quite a while, and he was all too clear about what was inside.

Other than rules and a soul warped by rules, there was nothing else inside that flesh ball.

Could it be that Richard’s refinement of a rule also brought this person back to life by chance?

However, soon both of them noticed something was amiss.

The little person in front of them was stirring, but it didn’t seem like a wizard’s resurrection; rather, it was more like a newborn child.

He sat in Richard’s hands, blankly looking around everything, then started crying out loud with a “waah.”

This threw Richard into even greater confusion.

Though he had lived for hundreds of years and accumulated extensive knowledge,

Caring for children was not within his range of study.

“What do we do with this thing?” Ulysses looked at the little creature, equally at a loss.

Although he was a World Master, his experiences likewise did not include childcare.

“What else can we do? Keep it for now!” Richard said, somewhat irritated.

With the piercing wails of the little one over his head, he rummaged through his Magic Pocket and pulled out his Flesh Tentacles.

Having not harvested flesh for many years, the tentacle’s active Flesh had reached its growth limit, the whole tentacle looking as plump as a pillar.

Richard cut off a small piece, then with that lump of flesh quickly molded a makeshift small breast to plug the little person’s mouth.

Once the child was nourished with this “mother’s milk,” he quickly calmed down.

“What exactly is the situation with this thing?”

Richard, looking at the calmed-down little person, couldn’t help but get a headache.

A glimmer flashed in Ulysses’ eyes, “Heaven knows, but I can confirm that this little person’s soul is not normal.

The soul of this little person is very fragmented; the distorted soul from the flesh ball is still existing within his body. The consciousness he is now projecting seems to be a part of the pure soul that was split off from the main soul.

This must have been the Three Rings Wizard attempting a corrective measure when he realized something was off.

But I suspect his method has failed, and a portion of this preserved soul has also been twisted.

If we hadn’t arrived just in time, the remaining soul would likely have been twisted as well.”

Richard stroked his chin, frowning and said, “Which means that this Farret wizard didn’t completely turn into a monster.

He held back, preventing his soul from being totally twisted.

Right?”

Ulysses nodded, “That’s more or less.”

“Is there any chance he could revert back to his previous state?”

Ulysses shook his head, “Impossible, the remaining pure part of his soul is too little, carrying almost no memories. Unless someone now forcibly infuses memories into his soul, he cannot return to his former self.”

Staring at the little person constantly sucking on the flesh, Richard’s expression was indecisive.

He was contemplating whether to get rid of this little person or not.

The Farret wizard had already been declared dead by the wizard world, so even if Richard disposed of this little person, the Judicial Department’s wizards wouldn’t trouble him.

But then again, a Three Rings Wizard, even as a fool, might be of some use.

If the little person could not recover, he wouldn’t mind having an additional Three Rings Wizard as his experimental assistant.

After all, the little person currently had no memories or personality, and he could entirely shape a capable assistant through methods.

“What about the part of the soul that’s twisted?” asked Richard suddenly.

“Seal it up and shatter it, then slowly reintroduce it to this part of the pure soul.

The twisted portion of the soul is beyond saving, and its best use now is to serve as nourishment, nurturing the pure part of the soul.

Without sealing, this pure soul fragment would be disrupted by it before long.”

“Ah!” Richard sighed, “Let’s just do that for now. I’ll destroy this little person’s flesh first; you watch out and don’t let that twisted soul escape.”

Not being a professional Soul Wizard, he couldn’t extract the soul directly from the little one’s body; he could only use this cumbersome method.

There weren’t many ways to destroy the body without harming the soul. Poison was one of them.

Richard had borrowed round the caravan and managed to gather the ingredients for a concoction of Corrosive Poison.

Once the Corrosive Poison was prepared, Ulysses slightly enlarged the body of the little person.

Richard injected the poison into the little person’s body, and an enormous amount of the poison entered the bloodstream, quickly spreading throughout the little person’s body.

Soon, the body began to rot away.

However, the body of the little person, after all, was that of third-level creatures – though warped by the rules of nightmares, the fundamentals were still somewhat there.

It took three full days of poison to completely kill off the little person’s body.

Once the body died, the soul of the little one emerged from it.

A small, pure soul, and one could compare it to Asatros, successively left the little person’s body.

Richard placed the pure soul into a temporary body made of active flesh, while the twisted part of the soul was sealed into a Crystal Ball by him and Ulysses together.

Having done all this, Richard cleaned up the now-destroyed body, then burned it to ashes with blazing Flames.

After burning the body, he collected the leftover ash, then threw it out of the window of the airship.

Though this act was somewhat unethical, Richard felt that these ashes probably wouldn’t pollute the world they were currently in, known as Heisen.

After all, bone meal can hasten maturity. (laughs)

Returning to his room, Richard looked at the little person who was eagerly gulping down the bottle and sighed with a sense of helplessness.

“Ulysses, this kid should be capable of learning, right?”

“He is capable, but I suggest you get him a new brain,” Ulysses advised. “Flesh is rather important for learning.

If you give him a good enough brain, he will learn very quickly.”

Richard massaged his temples, “This brain is already the best one I can make.

Let’s make do with it for now.”

Having said that, Richard sighed again.

He had never learned this lesson on raising a child.

…

Six years later, the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce’s cross-domain trade caravan successfully emerged from the Teleportation Gate, laden with goods.

This entire commercial journey took nearly ten years and earned almost twenty thousand Magic Essences. Although the profit wasn’t as high as the established chambers, it was still quite considerable.

Richard stepped out of the airship, looked at the familiar Tower of Truth, and deeply expressed his sentiment.

“Finally, I’m back.”

“Teacher, teacher, is this the Tower of Truth in the Four Rings?”

Behind Richard, a little boy about one meter tall was looking at the towering giant tower with excitement.

All the way on the journey, he had heard Richard talk about their return to the Tower of Truth in the Four Rings.

Now, they had finally arrived.

“Yes, this is the Tower of Truth in the Four Rings.”

Richard glanced at the little fellow beside him, took his arm, and flew towards the residential layer’s Teleportation Gate.

Before long, Richard and the little boy landed in front of his Wizard Tower.

He pointed at the door number and said to the boy,

“Take a good look, this is Wizard Tower number 4523, don’t get it wrong.”

After speaking, Richard opened the big gate of the courtyard and led the boy into the Wizard Tower.

Entering the Wizard Tower, the little boy who had lived on the airship for six years became so excited that he forgot himself.

Richard didn’t bother with him; he let him dash around the Wizard Tower.

He hadn’t set up any defenses in his Wizard Tower; he wasn’t worried the kid would encounter any danger.

He took a Crystal Ball out of his pocket and sent his status to his own teacher.

Soon, Richard heard the sound of a doorbell.

Opening the door, Richard welcomed his teacher inside.

Upon entering, Jolod immediately asked,

“Where is the person you spoke of?”

Thud thud thud thud…

Only to hear a series of bustling footsteps, the little boy in a black robe appeared in Jolod’s view.

Richard called out to the boy, “Wuni, come here, this is your Grandmaster.”

At Richard’s words, Wuni immediately ran to Jolod and gave a Wizard’s Salute.

“Hello, Grandmaster.”

Jolod nodded, “Hello to you too.”

Afterward, the master and disciple headed to the second floor’s laboratory.

Once the lab door was closed, Richard took a deep breath, his expression instantly sagging.

“Teacher, can we keep the kid?”

Jolod stroked his beard, “I asked an old friend about the situation you mentioned.

According to him, there are no legal issues with your actions. If you wish, you can take him as an Apprentice.

But if you do take him as an Apprentice, you will have to re-issue his identity information, and he must forgo his old identity.

It’s as if he would be reborn.”

Upon hearing this news, a weight lifted slightly from Richard’s heart.

If legally he couldn’t keep Wuni, he really wouldn’t know how to handle the situation.

“It’s fine as long as he can stay, but arranging for an identity is probably going to trouble you, teacher.”

“That’s not a problem,” Jolod waved his hand, “What’s important now is not to waste this promising seedling.

What are your plans for teaching the boy?”

“Well…” Richard scratched his head awkwardly, “I don’t really know. On the way here, I taught him Wizard Language and some Apprentice Level knowledge.

How to teach him further, I’m not quite certain.”

“You need to figure that out quickly,” Jolod’s expression turned a bit more serious, “Since you’ve taken him as an Apprentice, you need to fulfill the responsibilities of a mentor.

Even though his soul has reached the strength of a Three Rings Wizard, his memory and personality are still that of an ordinary child.

You must adopt the proper attitude.”

Having heard this, Richard’s expression became serious as well.

The mentor-disciple relationship in the Wizard World is the most sacred, even surpassing that of blood relations.

If he truly intended to take Wuni as his Apprentice, then he must become serious. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

This was a lesson every Wizard had to learn in the end.

“I understand, teacher.”
