Chapter 191: Steam World Primal Spirit State (SSS Exclusive Grade)

Lamore Long Street.

Tree Heart Cavern Tavern.

Today there are slightly fewer customers, but even so, one-third of the tavern's seats are occupied.

Recently, the number of supernatural beings coming to Saint Rand has been unusually high.

And those supernatural beings who come for fame to Lamore are no longer few.

A few days ago.

The matter of Saint Rand's S-rank supernatural talent, the Blasphemer Taku, has already been spread via the magical network to every corner of the continent.

Not long ago, it caused quite a stir across the entire continent.

S-rank supernatural talent.

In the entire Aogu Double Star supernatural world, only this single sprout has been born in ten years.

Coming to Saint Rand, isn't this a bit of luck?

In the future, when telling bedtime stories to the children, it will surely increase their admiration by a notch.

The real Lamore is no longer accessible to them.

There it has become a stronghold of the Eclipse Day Church.

But Saint Rand's Lamore Long Street can still be visited.

At this point, the benefit of Saint Rand separately allocating an area for Lamore's residents becomes evident.

As large numbers of supernatural beings come seeking fame.

The business on Lamore Long Street, especially shops selling local specialties, is especially booming.

Pushing open the half-door, Taku looked left and right at today's tavern.

The number of people is neither too many nor too few.

It won't be too noisy, yet one can still gather information.

"Give me a large serving of Black Horn Stone Stew Meat, and also a Stone Fruit Wine."

Taku said to the bartender behind the counter.

"Would you like a Varogi Burnt Liquor? This is a special drink for our tavern's Blasphemers."

The bartender began to promote it to Taku.

"Back in Lamore, this was the Blasphemer Taku's favorite drink."

"The Blasphemer Taku's favorite drink?"

Taku blinked slightly.

"I didn't know that."

"You can tell you don't come often; everyone knows this." The bartender shrugged.

"Recently, many outsider supernatural beings will specially come to taste Lamore's specialties, and also the Varogi Burnt Liquor that the Blasphemer Taku likes most, which is personally brewed by Lamore's brewer."

Taku thought for a moment and then said seriously.

"I think I still prefer Stone Fruit Wine a bit more."

Afterwards Taku slightly turned his head, looking toward the not‑far‑away few fireplace wine tables where noticeable steam‑gray mist gathered.

There the steam‑gray mist gathers and does not disperse, while carrying out a very wonderful little ecological cycle.

"What's going on over there?" Taku asked.

Along the way here.

Taku has already felt many similar strange scenes.

Source Energy Steam!

As if it had life.

Within Saint Rand's range, it presents all kinds of unimaginable situations.

The bartender followed Taku's pointed direction, looked up, and then shook his head.

"I don't know either; it just appeared after that day."

"To be honest, if it weren't for those high‑level supernatural beings saying Saint Rand underwent a strange change, I really wouldn't have known."

"To me, that's just an ordinary day."

"But… hearing them say, it's clearly not an ordinary day."

"Recently, Saint Rand's steam has been a bit strange."

"That Source Energy Steam over there is like that; even if cleared away, after a while it will gather again."

"But it's just a bit of Source Energy Steam; there's no problem."

"On the contrary, sitting in that mass of Source Energy Steam at night is quite interesting."

While chatting idly, Taku placed his order, then took out a copy of each of the recent days' newspapers from the nearby rack.

Taku came to sit at the spot beside the passageway leading to the back street.

He began to browse, step by step, what had happened outside during his period of closed‑door material refinement and talent point addition.

As the Saint Rand Steam Daily.

It lacks the formality of a large‑scale official daily.

Basically, it dares to report on anything.

In an outdated issue, it mentioned the Tianfan Merchant Guild being robbed by the Sky Pirate Gang.

The pictures in the newspaper are very familiar to Taku, after all he was one of the bandits back then.

As expected, with the subsequent days' newspapers being published,

a reporter blew the whistle, saying the Tianfan Merchant Guild Saint Rand Branch secretly colluded with the Eclipse Day Church, intending to use the delivery of sealed items to destroy the East Coast Steam Ice‑free Port.

The ice-free port on the eastern coast is the hub connecting the northern frontier of the Sirion Duchy with the sea.

It is a key position of major-artery level.

This maneuver aims to hinder the aid of the steam ice-free port to Sainerde.

Too bad!

It was strangled by the Blood Blade Sky Pirate Gang, who were acting as the black glove.

Taku also benefited greatly from this.

In the following days, it was about investigating the Tianfan Chamber of Commerce and such.

Although the reporting was quite ordinary.

But between the lines, Taku saw that many people had died because of it.

Also, the perfect elite materials of the second and third tiers were also reported by the Sainerde Daily.

Naturally, they occupied only the small corner sections.

Meanwhile, the large sections of the Steam Daily were still about the construction progress of the steam lighthouse in the spiritual realm layers, as well as clearing the Dark Sun pollution, and the numerous battles with the Dark Sun Church.

When seeing the newspapers of the past few days.

Taku saw some small-scale reports about changes that had occurred in Sainerde recently.

Looking at these reports, Taku gave a light laugh.

If it weren't for Taku's deep understanding and clear knowledge of what exactly happened.

Taku would also think that this was merely a normal change.

And the external reaction was indeed so.

Many powerful transcendents felt that Sainerde had changed, but they were not clear about what exactly it was or what future impact it would have.

However.

As the creator of all this, Taku was very clear.

He himself broke through the 2000% talent limit, and in the process broke the barrier between steam and the world.

Sainerde's steam ecosystem, as a responder and promoter, received feedback.

The steam ecosystem also, to some extent, broke the barrier between steam and the world.

Currently, Sainerde has exhibited many peculiar steam phenomena.

For example, the source-energy steam that seems to possess life, gathering around the hearth wine tables inside the tavern.

For example, the large patches of steam haze chasing after the steam bus.

Even the steam source energy that actively responds to the source-energy steam engine, etc.

All of this is because.

【Steam Ecosystem】 and as the world's 【Magma Core Stake】.

Are merging.

Taku's Steam Witch ecosystem is small, with high operational efficiency.

In just over half a day, Taku had preliminarily stabilized and adapted to his new transcendent talent.

The Steam Tower-constructed 【Steam Ecosystem】 is merging with Sainerde's 【World】.

That will require a longer time.

After all, the time known to humanity for Sainerde's 【Magma Core Stake】 has already been thousands of years.

Moreover, over the past few centuries, Sainerde has entered a phase of explosive expansion.

We need to give Sainerde some time.

Only then can it complete the fusion.

The slumbering Sainerde will usher in its own steam age.

Taku was contemplating.

The waitress brought Taku's food and drinks up.

Sniffing the aroma of the food, Taku's appetite opened wide.

These past days, Taku has been refining materials, feeling his way to adapt to the new transcendent talent, and hasn't eaten a hot meal.

While filling his hungry stomach, Taku opened his own attribute talent page.

【Transcendent Talent】

Precision·Correction (SSS class): 1050%.

Steam·World·Origin Spirit State (SSS exclusive class): 2020%.

Upon entering the higher threshold of 2000%.

Taku obtained the SSS-class 'Exclusive Talent'.

Theoretically speaking, 2000% is the limit.

Taku broke the SSS-class ceiling.

Then, this higher transcendent talent created by Taku is naturally Taku's 【Exclusive】.

The SSS exclusive class 【Steam·World·Origin Spirit State】 talent is truly unbelievable.

As it conforms to the world's origin, the ability that lets Taku better comprehend the rift of runes has been further strengthened.

Next.

The characteristics of the 【World】 began to manifest in Taku's Steam Witch ecosystem.

Taku's Steam Witch ecosystem began to have a clear 'boundary' with the outside.

Even the Steam Witch ecosystem itself has begun to mobilize the power of the 'barrier' to directly accomplish a 'world barrier'.

Taku himself can easily mobilize power to pass through this 【World】's boundary.

But, when Ta Ke attempted to mobilize the pulse of the 'Dark Sun' nurtured in the shadows to contaminate himself.

The steam ecology world obviously mobilized the power of the ecology world's barrier to resist, also mobilized the power of light within the ecology, following the ecological magic net initially constructed by Ta Ke to cleanse the pollution.

All of this happened naturally.

Theoretically speaking, a steam mage ecology of Ta Ke's low level could not possibly possess such a trait.

But the SSS-exclusive tier's 【Steam-World-Origin Spirit State】 extraordinary talent.

It easily accomplished such an impossible feat.

After eating and drinking his fill.

Ta Ke took out the thick extraordinary history book of the Ou Gu Double Stars extraordinary realm and began to read.

The materials for advancing to the third stage have already been refined.

The exclusive-tier SSS extraordinary talent has also been completed.

This time Ta Ke came here solely for the purpose of advancing.

Of course, before that, Ta Ke needed to make contact with Xi Luoer.

Before, Ta Ke went to outside Xi Luoer's office and strolled a circle, but found no trace of Xi Luoer.

Not here in the tavern either.

Then we can only wait here.

After a good half day passed, the customers in the tavern kept changing in batches.

Ta Ke finally waited for this busy person, Xi Luoer.
