Chapter 29: Steam Knight: Shiroel!

In the house, ultimately no steam train rushed out.

What came out was a tall, fair-skinned beauty with blue eyes and long blue curly hair, her demeanor aloof.

Even wearing silver armor, it could not suppress her devilish figure.

For a moment, the gazes of over twenty people in the hall all gathered on her.

The beloved disciple of Wizard Marquis La Mo'er, possessing extraordinary supernatural talent, and having completed the Steam Ascension Steam Knight—Xi Luoer!

At the same time, she is also Ka Luosi's sister.

She seemed to sense something.

Xi Luoer looked toward a corner of the crowd.

That was an ordinary-looking young mage.

Sixteen years old!

Mage!

Low level!

Looks ordinary and frail!

Ruthless and cruel!

A string of words popped into Xi Luoer's mind.

Plus Ka Luosi, this fearless guy, appeared especially honest in front of that young mage.

The impression from memory and the boy before him gradually overlapped.

"Although I don't know how he got in."

"But this is indeed just as Ka Luosi said."

"That mage called Ta Ke, when you think things will end ordinarily, he always manages to pull off an unimaginable operation, dropping your jaw!"

"Hmm... looks like after this, it's really necessary to get to know this mage Ta Ke properly."

Xi Luoer withdrew her gaze, lost in thought.

At this moment, Ta Ke's first close contact with the Steam Sequence also left him shaken.

That powerful Steam Sequence, deep in the Steam Space, the Sequence Engine roars nonstop, spewing out Source Energy Steam.

Her whole body is suffused with strong and tenuous veins and Steam Source Energy.

Even this power has already dissipated outwards, forming a 'Steam Source Armor' on her body's surface.

Ta Ke even wonders whether his bullet tentacles can break through that naturally formed Steam Source Armor of hers.

"My basic arts might not even penetrate her defense?"

Ta Ke took a deep breath.

"Steam Sequence, this is the version answer!"

Ta Ke, in the midst of his lament.

Xi Luoer and two others, obviously top-tier elites of the high tower, possibly even genius-level supernaturals, walked through the hall and left directly.

Meanwhile, the people in the hall immediately entered into a heated discussion.

"Xi Luoer!"

"It is said that recently, in the sparring at Shenglande Supernatural Academy, Xi Luoer and those top-tier steam geniuses of Shenglande were evenly matched."

"You see, Shenglande gathers all the supernatural talents of our Dark Veil Province."

"Our La Mo'er City-state can produce such a talent, it's truly rare."

"Of course, otherwise, Marquis La Mo'er wouldn't have focused so much on cultivating Xi Luoer."

"I even heard that this time's Demon King's Tomb was excavated by Xi Luoer. Currently, Xi Luoer is also one of the main persons in charge of developing this tomb."

People whispered among themselves.

Ka Luosi at the side curled his lips!

"That... was clearly dug by me... together with Ta Ke."

When he turned around, however, he saw Ta Ke with a calm expression.

It seemed as if the Demon King's Tomb had nothing to do with him.

"Ta Ke, is this your friend?"

At that moment, Amanti walked over.

At this time, Amanti had already dispersed the deathly black mist, revealing her true appearance.

She was about fourteen or fifteen, with freckles still lingering on her face.

Just as Ta Ke had evaluated, she had not yet developed.

With Xi Luoer's appearance and then departure.

Ka Luosi, this guy, gradually attracted attention from many.

Feeling those gazes gradually gathering toward him.

Ta Ke glanced at Ka Luosi and lightly replied: "We've adventured together once, not familiar!"

Ka Luosi understood: "If there's a chance, please have a drink, goodbye!"

Then he left on his own, something everyone could hear was just a perfunctory remark.

"Do you know who he is?"

After Ka Luosi left, Amanti lowered her voice.

"Ka Shenmo Si, I can't quite recall." Ta Ke thought, then shook his head.

"It's Ka Luosi, he's Xi Luoer's younger brother."

"That's exactly the Steam Knight, the ice mountain beauty!"

Speaking of this, Amanti secretly glanced in the direction Xiluoer had left.

She concealed her envy well, but could not escape Take's perception.

She is not young, but the slow development of necromancy keeps her in a budding stage even at the age when women love beauty most.

She can only shroud herself in necromantic gray mist to conceal her bodily anguish.

Oh! So it's him!

Take replied lightly.

The arrival of Steam Knight Xiluoer stirred a small ripple that soon rose and faded.

Soon, the two found themselves in a corner at the edge of the crowd, unattended.

When they felt no one was paying attention to them.

Take then gently tugged at Amanti's sleeve.

Let's go to the baptism room first!

After thinking, Amanti realized there was indeed nothing else, so she nodded.

They climbed the stone steps step by step.

System!

Take saw a faint blue system panel appear before his eyes.

【Demon King's Underground Seal】

Source Energy Experience: 5.8 experience/hour.

【Special Resources】

Talent Fragments: 7.2 fragments/day.

Open the talent fragments details.

Quantity: 89 units.

During this time, Take diligently studied and cultivated, not paying much attention to the number of talent fragments.

However, this time he entered the Steam Source Energy Tower that possesses extraordinary source power.

It is highly possible to obtain talent fragments during the baptism process.

Take needs to confirm the quantity.

This also allows confirming the specific effect of the system's 【Rapid Development】 ability.

As for Source Energy Experience,

Coming here is to receive the Source Energy Baptism; how could it not increase Source Energy Experience?

During this time, Take poured all his Source Energy Experience into the powerful two-star witchcraft 'Light-Shaping Spear'.

And the effect was outstanding.

【Light-Shaping Spear】

It has been raised to level 19.

At the same time, Take raised the response condensation speed of the Light-Shaping Spear to an astonishing degree.

In terms of power,

Take followed the principle of 'great force creates miracles'.

He gave the Light-Shaping Spear's attack, which has the 'assault' trait, the piercing trait, and maxed it out.

Soon.

At the end of a heavily guarded tower corridor.

The two submitted the baptism certificate scrolls.

The middle-aged man, whose extraordinary sequence was 【Scholar】, repeatedly checked, even repeatedly examined Take's certificate, and also questioned Amanti for verification.

After confirming there was no error, he then allowed Take to pass.

"Just highlighting a lack of trust!"

Having passed the inspection, Take whispered.

Amanti covered her mouth and laughed.

"There has been a baptism mix-up before; someone got in with a fake certificate."

"He even completed the baptism, and after being exposed, he fled to Holy Orchid Virtue."

"This left the high-ups of Lamore Tower red-faced."

"Since then, the tower's baptism has become astonishingly strict."

"It seems the guy who sneaked into Lamore Tower for baptism, if he encounters any extraordinary being from Lamore, will use this to mock Lamore."

Upon entering the Dao Steam Tower's Source Energy Baptism Pool,

Both also composed their expressions.

Individual compartments stood independently in each corner.

Baptizers can choose a suitable spot for themselves.

The surroundings were filled with relatively rich source energy.

But it had not reached the threshold for 【Rapid Development】.

While seeking a suitable position, Take's 【Precise Vision】 was released to the extreme at this moment.

Extraordinary source energy!

Vast amounts of extraordinary source energy were stockpiled in the deeper dimensions.

Take could not truly see the exact location of the vast extraordinary source energy gathered in the Steam Tower.

But.

Ta Ke could hear the surging sound of the source energy tide.

Ta Ke repeatedly observed the surrounding currents.

Until Ta Ke found a suitable spot.

Ta Ke was never able to truly seek out that extraordinary source energy sea of the deep dimension.

Ta Ke secretly thought it a pity.

"Looks like... the idea of sneaking in early to steal some experience has fallen through."

After settling into a stable cross-legged seat, Ta Ke planned to further refine his Wizard's Tree in preparation for the upcoming level increase.

After all, Ta Ke would undergo the baptism in the Source Pool of the Steam High Tower.

This was also an excellent opportunity for Ta Ke to skyrocket his level.

At that moment, Ta Ke suddenly made a new discovery.

That was……

The Baptism Certificate Scroll in his hand had an extremely faint current, extending upward spontaneously.

"Can the certificate contact the Primordial Source Pool?"

Ta Ke was first stunned, then delight spread through his heart.
