Chapter 450: Rank-10 Wizard


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


As the Wizard Li’s Conqueror gave his order, the red tide formed by the Wizard Li warriors rushed down from more than 90 huge iron s.h.i.+ps and gathered on the sh.o.r.e in the heavy rain.


Transforming his body using the wyrmdragon’s transformation power, Zhang Lisheng stood on the deck using his entire might with veins bulging on his face. He turned the tidal waves that crashed into the coast into mist. After protecting his expeditionary warriors disembarking successfully, Zhang Lisheng rose into the sky and shouted, “Follow me!”


He led more than 90,000 native warriors equipped with great weapons and braved the heavy rain as they charged into the distant jungle.


The storm lasted for a whole seven days and seven nights, which was a rare sight, before it finally stopped completely.


When the long-lost sun finally revealed its round body from the washed sky and poured its bright brilliance downwards, the Wizard Li’s Conqueror just so happened to have shattered the headman of the last foreign tribe into a pile of b.l.o.o.d.y mess. Grabbing the tribal book of history in his hands, the young man roared loudly and raised it up high before throwing it into the mud and stepping on it.


When the tens of thousands of foreign tribesmen saw Zhang Lisheng, who had transformed into a ferocious giant, do so, they froze immediately. With a dejected expression, they gave up all resistance and allowed the victors to drive them like livestock.


“It’s beach again in front. Looks like we’ve conquered this island, Talimu.” Seeing that victory had been set, Zhang Lisheng returned to his normal state and strolled up to the chief warrior with four feathers closest to him. He threw the tribal book of history in his hand to him and said, “Go do a headcount on the casualties sacrificed in this island battle and then escort the prisoners to the conversion ceremony.”


“Yes, Great Conqueror!” The short and strong four-feathered chief warrior jumped down from his mount and kneeled on the ground to reply respectfully. After he retreated, it took him quite some time before he came to report to Zhang Lisheng again. “Conqueror, 4520 Wizard Li warriors were sacrificed in this Leaf Island’s war while 7430 warriors were wounded.”


“The casualties are much heavier than Moon Island’s war. Then again, Leaf Island is almost 20,000 square kilometers, which is nearly one-third larger than Moon Island. In that case, a.s.saulting in the rain is indeed a correct choice…” Zhang Lisheng calculated in his mind and muttered.


“Great Conqueror, no matter what decision you make, it’ll always be correct…” Upon hearing the tribal Conqueror’s words, the brutal Conqueror kneeling on the ground could not help but praise from his heart.


When Zhang Lisheng heard this, a conceited look inadvertently crept upon his face. Suppressing the boiling wizard power under his skin, he puffed his chest up with pride as he waved his right hand and summoned for the dispatch warriors. “Spread my orders. All warriors will take a day’s rest on the island and we’ll board the s.h.i.+p and continue our battle of conquest tomorrow morning!”


“Yes, Great Conqueror!” Upon hearing the Wizard Li’s Conqueror’s order, the dispatch warriors riding the giant millispiders spread out. The young man, on the other hand, changed his transformation power from Money Toad to wyrmdragon and gathered the clouds so he could fly up to the sky. Looking down condescendingly at the newly obtained island, he drifted back to the foreign tribe that he first conquered on this island.


In the bark house next to the Wizard Li totem pole, which had already turned into a towering giant pillar, he commanded the newly appointed Leaf Island’s headman to send the news of victory back to Moon Island. He continued to give some pointers in a placatory manner and began to temper his wizard power using the secret cultivation method. Only when the next morning arrived did he bring the Wizard Li expeditionary army to once again board the s.h.i.+p and set sail.


During the next month, Wizard Li’s army had a staggering winning streak, capturing the other four out of five islands that formed one line nearest to Moon Island.


However, under this incredibly brilliant victory, from the 100,000 Wizard Li’s expeditionary army, fewer than 30,000 warriors could still go on for war. The remaining number of chief warriors who mastered the ability of spellcasting was less than 600 so there was no choice but to put the expedition to a halt.


Counting the harvest, from the first battle to the last battle, Wizard Li managed to conquer six islands within 42 days, obtaining a total of about 111,000 square kilometers of land, 3.72 million newly converted tribesmen and seven to eight types of exotic indigenous ‘partners’.


However, these were not Zhang Lisheng’s most concerned battle harvest. To him, other than the fact that he was about to make a breakthrough to Rank-10 Wizard in his witchcraft journey soon, the over 1300 Gold Cores of different sizes that he had obtained were the most thrilling.


After suspending the expedition, the young man immediately brought the Gold Cores and led the remaining expeditionary army back to the Wizard Li Island. He used a ‘shaker’ to break all the Gold Cores and began another round of the so-called blessing ritual. This time, the main object of this ritual was the over 20,000 native warriors who had persevered from the successive sea expedition.


With the test object that had undergone hundreds of cruel battlefield selections, the success rate of Zhang Lisheng’s Gold Core fragment transplant surgery this time exceeded the previous 30% threshold, reaching up to a staggering 38%.


After working diligently day and night for more than 40 days, the number of Wizard Li’s Super h.e.l.lfiremen that had dropped sharply to just a bit above 570 warriors abruptly increased to become more than 6000 warriors. He finally obtained the most critical armed force needed to guard the huge territory.


“Now that I have 6357 chief warriors who mastered the spellcasting ability, I need 630,000 elite warriors on top of that.” In the largest back house in Wizard Li’s ancestral land, Zhang Lisheng, who had just ordered the native ch.o.r.espeople to send the last Wizard Li warrior who successfully received the Gold Core transplant to a water pond, looked down at the Wizard Li’s headman at his feet and said, “We originally had 200,000 warriors and the expedition has dispatched a total of 100,000 people. More than 20,000 people have died and the 300,000 people out of the 500,000 wounded could no longer return to the battlefield. More than half of the intact 28,000 warriors have undergone the blessing ritual and with this calculation, only 134,000 warriors are left now in Wizard Li, which means that there’s a gap of 500,000 warriors that need to be filled. This is the current main priority, Tugra. You must pay attention to this matter. Carry out training practice to choose the warriors and forge their equipment. Don’t forget to raise the giant millispiders as well… All of these require you to implement them. Just because I’ve appointed other headmen in other islands doesn’t mean you can just manage this small Wizard Li Island. You’re the headman of the whole Wizard Li you must oversee everything in Wizard Li. understood?”


“Yes, Great Conqueror!” Zhang Lisheng’s words sounded as though he was reprimanding but in fact, he was establis.h.i.+ng the difference in the Wizard Li’s headman’s status, causing Tugra, who was crouching on the ground, to be overwhelmed with emotion as he answered.


“Also, after the newly blessed chief warriors have awakened, immediately let them take over the 100,000 Wizard Li warriors that have not been dispatched. Of course, they are still not yet eligible to command 1000 people so you must, must…” When Zhang Lisheng was speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He slowed his breathing and shut his eyes as he clenched his fists, before forcing a sentence between his teeth. “Tugra, you may retreat now…”


The Wizard Li’s headman was baffled. Even though he could tell that something was wrong from the tribal Conqueror’ tone, he did not dare ask nor say anything. Answering with a ‘Yes’, he quickly stood up and ran out of the bark house, not even daring to raise his head at all.


When Zhang Lisheng saw Tugra run out of his sight in panic in just within seven to eight seconds, Zhang Lisheng smiled twitchingly. “What a clever person…”


He commanded Red Mountain to crawl out of his skin and let it land on the ground so that it could transform into a strange eight-headed snake that was over 20 meters long.


“Be it using you to fight against the enemy, or pave a way, or even build a port, you’re actually very useful. Speaking of which, if it wasn’t for you in the first place, Wizard Li’s expeditionary army would have been defeated and lost badly. Unfortunately, to me, the most important thing is still my own strength so… What a pity… What a pity…” Zhang Lisheng resisted the pain and stretched out his hand to caress the thick skin on the wizard gu’s neck, as he began to mutter the ancient incantation ‘pst shh…’ under his breath.


In an instant, his anxious and pained expression calmed down completely. When he looked at Red Mountain again, his eyes had become clear and he began to exhale his breath.


More than ten minutes later, the young man finally exhausted all the air in the body. With his chest sunken, he opened his eyes and began to draw the outline of a Demon in his mind according to the secret cultivation method. Facing the giant eight-headed snake in front of him, he inhaled violently without warning.


At that instant, the s.p.a.ce around Red Mountain became distorted. With Zhang Lisheng’s rhythmic inhalation, a gush of red smoke floated out from the eight wide and b.l.o.o.d.y mouths on the wizard gu’s eight heads and drifted into his mouth and nose.


The moment the red smoke entered his mouth, the young man felt his sight blacken immediately. A figure of a snake’s body with a human head that had long weed-like hair draping over its shoulders, its body covered in dried-up skin, and a head riddled with holes with two eyes of one black one white staring into himself appeared in his mind.


What was more shocking was that the facial features of the snake man was somewhat vaguely familiar. When he looked at it closer, he realized that its facial features were exactly the same as his.


Even though Zhang Lisheng had gone through countless difficulties in his witchcraft cultivation journey, he could not help but be seized by great astonishment while suddenly facing with himself.


To his surprise, when he was seized with astonishment, the eyes of snake-bodied, human-headed monster in front of him suddenly widened. An endless desperate, suffocating darkness gushed out of them and firmly caught the young man’s eyes. After that, in the infinite darkness, a thunder suddenly slashed through the sky, accompanied by millions of red meteorites burning with raging fire that crashed onto the ground in a torrential rain, setting off dust that covered the entire sky.


In this a.s.sault of water and fire, everything on the ground was destroyed as though it was the end of the world. At this moment, a giant snake rose up abruptly into the sky, spiraling its long body as it crept upward.


Just as it was about to fly against the meteorites and torrential rain and fly into the sky, that giant snake suddenly looked back, staring into Zhang Lisheng’s eyes. In an instant, the young man realized that the snake head was a human head that had clear and beautiful facial features. When he wanted to take another good look at it, the facial features on the human head suddenly changed and transformed back into his face again.


Zhang Lisheng had never expected that it would actually be this shocking looking at his own self. Gooseb.u.mps covered his entire body as he could not help but take in a sharp breath of cold air. Just like this, he easily transformed the eight-headed snake monster crouching in front of him into red smoke and swallowed it into his body.


The moment the wizard gu entered his stomach, the young man felt his stiff body relaxed right away. The scene before his eyes changed and everything returned back to normal.
