Chapter 27: As long as washing doesn't kill you, wash it to death!

Practicing spells, daily study, he can completely focus his mind on research.

His attitude is commendable.

It's just...

Inside the empty hall of the Undead High Tower.

Ao Bu Li sat on the cold high seat, pondering Ta Ke's achievements and performance over this period.

In terms of supernatural sorcery cultivation speed, it's truly a bit baffling.

The Shape Light Spear, he's only studied it for about half a month.

He can already control it to that degree, and the level is quite high.

Hmm... before, Ta Ke showed an almost artistic performance in his command of supernatural sorcery.

Now looking at it, he indeed possesses an extraordinary talent in this area.

Compared to the indulged Ta Ke.

The Undead Ao Bu Li is more concerned about his apprentice disciple—A Man Di!

Ao Bu Li gazed toward the hall.

In the corner, if you don't look closely, you might not even notice her.

All along, 'A Man Di' has been a disciple with very low presence.

"Although A Man Di's talent is a bit lacking, her perseverance is extremely strong; she's a good seedling worth cultivating."

"I hope this baptism can give her some extra gains."

"After all... this baptism is the last large-scale Source Energy Baptism before the Ashen Dark Tide."

"It contains many strange supernatural origins."

"If you grasp it, it's an opportunity; even supernatural talent can be enhanced somewhat."

"If you can't grasp it, then you simply lack the fate!"

"As for Ta Ke... although he didn't manage to obtain the supernatural origin baptism."

"But he did secure an ordinary Source Energy Baptism."

"How much he can absorb depends on his fortune."

"Squeak!"

The stone door of the high tower hall was pushed open.

Cold, desolate, silent, and the breath of death spread forth.

A true necromancer is just so plain and unadorned.

Ta Ke glanced at the girl shrouded in shadow and darkness beside him.

Her whole body was enveloped in undead black mist, which had absolutely no obstructive effect in front of Ta Ke.

Twin tails, a few freckles, hmm... she hasn't even developed yet!

The lifespan of a necromancer is relatively long.

Prematurely inheriting the necromancer's legacy will delay the human body's development cycle by many years.

However, once he reaches level 40 and becomes an Intermediate Necromancer, the situation will improve greatly.

"Lord Ao Bu Li!"

Ta Ke removed his hood and stepped forward to salute.

"Ta Ke."

His hoarse voice echoed within the hall.

"Before, you asked me to complete a Source Energy Baptism inside the Undead High Tower, and I told you to wait."

"Now a good opportunity has arrived."

Ta Ke's heart tightened slightly as he focused intently on every detail.

"The Undead High Tower is not suitable for a regular mage like you to undergo baptism."

"If you truly undergo baptism, it will instead cause irreversible damage to your mage's ecology."

"But the Steam Source Pool High Tower of our La Mo Er High Tower City-state is very suitable for you."

"Your luck is not bad."

"A few days ago, the high tower's upper echelons decided to initiate a round of Steam High Tower Source Pool baptism."

"Tomorrow, the Steam High Tower Source Pool will officially commence the baptism."

"In a moment, follow A Man Di to the Steam High Tower Source Pool to carry out some preparatory work."

"After all, the preparatory work for the Steam High Tower Source Energy Pool baptism is not to be underestimated."

"With sufficient preparation, it's possible to draw in more source energy and even capture supernatural origins."

"Furthermore, there are many precautions for this trip to the steam high tower..."

Ao Bu Li elaborated.

Ta Ke's face remained calm as an ancient well, but his emotions stirred with ripples.

"Steam High Tower Source Pool?"

"That place... is the core of the entire La Mo Er High Tower City-state."

"The source energy stored there is astonishing in quantity, and there are also supernatural origins that can react with supernatural talent, even enhancing it."

"Hmm... for me, it seems to have no use."

"Originally, I just wanted to secretly absorb a bit of source pool experience here in Lord Ao Bu Li's Undead High Tower, and incidentally open my Origin Dark Sea."

"Now it seems..."

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm afraid what's coming will be a big feast!"

As a high-end development system.

【Stable Development System】.

Besides being able to anchor an area for stable development.

When Ta Ke enters an environment where the source energy is extremely rich and pure.

The system will let Ta Ke enter the 【Rapid Development】state.

【Rapid Development】state.

Ta Ke has fortunately encountered it once.

That is the ruins area of an 'altar source energy magic pool' built by a dog-headed priest deep underground.

An area about five to six meters square.

Unknowing Ta Ke rushed in, and just as he felt the pure and genuine source energy,

The system's alert sounded: 'Source energy environment abundant, entering the 【Rapid Development】state.'

In just a few breaths, Ta Ke seized all the pure source energy there.

The 【Rapid Development】state, although a bit slower than the system's 'Rapid Sweep',

but the overall speed is still extremely exaggerated.

Source Pool Baptism.

It is literally a place where source energy is forcefully poured into the baptized one's mouth.

And Ta Ke also has the system function 【Rapid Development】.

Source Pool Baptism + Rapid Development.

You pour fiercely, I absorb fiercely.

The main point is seamless cooperation.

Once the system converts a large amount of source energy experience,

Ta Ke's level and extraordinary skills will both receive a huge boost.

This is also why Ta Ke applied to Lord Ao Burli to undergo the Necromancer High Tower Baptism.

With the system, as long as you don't die from the washing, wash it to death!

But now, it's not just a simple Necromancer High Tower Baptism.

but rather a higher-level Steam High Tower Source Pool Baptism.

It is also a baptism containing extraordinary origin.

After listening to Lord Ao Burli's lengthy instructions and precautions,

The two took the scroll certifying their participation in this Steam High Tower Source Energy Pool Baptism and left the hall.

"Are you Ta Ke?"

Inside the high tower stairwell passageway, Amandi, who was leading the way ahead, suddenly spoke, her clear voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.

"It sounds like you've heard my name before."

Ta Ke asked slowly and deliberately.

"Of course."

Amandi nodded, simultaneously slowing her pace to keep pace with Ta Ke.

"During this time, the teacher hasn't mentioned your name less."

"Saying you're willing to work hard, your talent is good, especially your combat talent, which is simply unbelievable."

"Furthermore, he said that if we had even half of your cleverness, we could thrive in Lamorel City-state like a fish in water, instead of being locked in the high tower like a duck out of water, unable to integrate into Lamorel High Tower City-state."

Hearing that slightly envious tone, Ta Ke smiled.

"Is this treating me as the model of 'someone else's child'?"

"It seems Lord Ao Burli has high expectations of me."

"So, this time entering the Steam High Tower Source Pool, I must absorb a lot more source energy to be worthy of Lord Ao Burli's evaluation of me as 'someone else's child'."
