Chapter 32: Level Crazy Surge!

"Ha…… huh……"

Ta Ke slowly opened his eyes.

And the energy pool within his body also completed its transformation, becoming tranquil.

The entire ecology of the Wizard's Tree had become much more stable.

The phantom outlines of many spells' sequences became solid, and at the same time they were enlarged compared to before.

The larger the spell sequence phantom, the more solid it became, and correspondingly the spell's power grew stronger.

"Level 11!"

This is the level of Ta Ke's Origin Dark Sea at this moment.

"The source energy strength has increased by about 50%."

"Although it can still be increased further, it needs an adaptation process to smoothly control the source energy."

At this moment, A Man Di blinked her eyes from the side and looked over.

"You…… okay?"

"Mm!" Ta Ke nodded.

A Man Di sized Ta Ke up and down.

She clearly sensed that Ta Ke seemed to have undergone some change.

But she couldn't say exactly what change had occurred.

"In short, he's definitely gotten stronger."

"But the source energy baptism hasn't started yet!"

A Man Di felt a bit doubtful in her heart.

"Right!"

The doubtful A Man Di suddenly thought of something.

"Someone just came over looking for you!"

"Who?"

"Well, it's that Ka Luo Si you're not familiar with."

A Man Di's gaze toward Ta Ke was somewhat strange.

"Even though you don't know him, why did he come looking for you?"

"You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?!"

It seemed to sense A Man Di's thoughts.

Ta Ke lowered his voice: "At times, even if you know someone, you need to act as if you don't; this is one of the ways to survive in La Mo Er."

A Man Di looked at Ta Ke, somewhat contemplative.

"Do you still want to go find him?"

"No need."

Ta Ke shook his head.

"Moreover, I probably guessed what that guy wants from me."

"Just sit here and wait for the source pool baptism."

"Mm!"

A Man Di responded with a sound and sat down in the chosen compartment beside Ta Ke.

Ta Ke, sitting cross-legged, began to carefully explore the characteristics of his transformed source energy.

"After the transformation, my source energy can basically be considered second-stage source energy."

"Besides the most obvious trait of source energy power, aspects like response speed and fine control have also seen considerable improvement."

"After the Origin Dark Sea was opened up, the one that benefited the most was my Sheep Transformation Technique."

"As I continue to steadily raise the level of my Origin Dark Sea,"

"the Sheep Transformation Technique can enjoy the suppression of higher-level source energy."

"Even superhumans ten or more levels above me could possibly be dealt with by a single Sheep Transformation."

While Ta Ke was familiarizing himself with the transformed source energy,

The Steam High Tower Baptism Pool saw a continual influx of superhumans.

Finding suitable spots, these superhumans sat cross-legged and quietly awaited the impending source pool baptism.

Before they knew it, several hours had passed.

……

In the corner compartment,

Ta Ke, sitting still, was now skillfully manipulating the source energy.

Whether drawing from the source pool or the dark sea, Ta Ke could now effortlessly and smoothly draw source energy to cast spells.

A brief moment,

Ta Ke heard the sound of flowing water begin to rush.

At the same time, the flow of ambient source energy clearly began to thicken.

The source energy became ever more abundant.

Not only Ta Ke felt it, but everyone inside the baptism pool did as well.

"Source energy baptism!"

"It has begun."

"When the source energy reaches a certain level,"

Someone then took the lead in activating the Baptism Certificate.

The power of the certificate condensed a source energy vortex.

Afterwards, a large amount of pure source energy, in the form of nurturing, was infused into the supernatural beings' sequence ecology.

This promoted the rapid growth of the supernatural beings' own sequence ecology.

As more and more people performed the baptism in this way,

Taku, who clearly saw the scene, was somewhat dumbfounded.

Does the highest-end baptism often adopt the simplest method?

This is no longer a matter of forcibly stuffing it into the mouth.

It is simply opening the stomach and pouring hard into it.

However, Taku soon discovered some differences.

That is, within the baptism pool, an unusual supernatural ecology characteristic appeared, and it was quite strong.

After grasping the characteristics of the context, Taku immediately knew what this supernatural characteristic appearing in the baptism pool was!

【Nurturing】: Using the baptism pool as the mother body and the certificate as the context, to rapidly nurture the supernatural beings, promoting the growth of their supernatural sequence.

"Although the form is simple, the method highlights a clear line of thought."

After feeling it for a moment, Taku sincerely praised.

Others had already begun the baptism, and Taku no longer hesitated, directly activating the certificate.

As a large amount of pure source energy was infused into Taku's wizard sequence ecology.

A wonderful feeling of being nurtured welled up in his heart.

Taku calmly immersed himself in it.

Apart from the nurturing enhancement, Taku

The 【Rapid Development】 system context, Taku also maintained.

For Taku, once the stable context is opened, as long as he is willing, maintaining it is very simple.

Others are single-threaded development.

While Taku, meanwhile, is carrying out dual-threaded development silently.

"I just like this feeling of silently, covertly developing and becoming stronger!"

Taku, hiding in the corner, silently pondered.

The Wizard Tree grew in the nurturing.

Taku's level also kept rising.

13th rank!

……

14th rank!

……

15th rank!

……

When Taku's level reached approximately 16.5 ranks,

The time of the baptism had already passed a full day.

At this point, it was also nearing its end.

The 【Nurturing】 ecology's supernatural characteristic gradually began to thin out.

Even those supernatural beings with higher levels have begun to have their link to the 【Nurturing】 characteristic severed.

"Only 16th rank."

Feeling his own rank, Taku was somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, the Source Pool Baptism is an excellent opportunity to reasonably raise one's rank.

Missing this village, there would be no such shop.

"Add points!"

Taku opened his attribute panel and began to pour experience into the wizard sequence.

The method is simpler and more crude than the Source Pool Baptism.

He kept raising the rank until it reached 18th rank, close to full experience.

Only then did Taku stop, satisfied.

"An 18th-rank level, this baptism is indeed formidable!"

He looked at his stored experience, then at his stored talent fragments.

Taku's confidence in dealing with the A-rank supernatural genius of the Evil God Organization next grew ever stronger.

As he was preparing to end the baptism, adapting to the 18th-rank level from the Source Pool Baptism,

Taku felt a slight abnormality.

He turned his head and looked through the partitioned wall.

He saw that Amandi's freckled small face had its features almost squeezed together, a look of deep hatred and gritting teeth.

Taku couldn't help but feel somewhat startled.

Upon closer look, Taku somewhat understood why Amandi was like that.

Amandi's baptism and Taku's baptism are somewhat different.

Taku's certificate-guided baptism is a pure source energy baptism, only raising the supernatural sequence rank.

While Amandi's baptism guides the supernatural origin, and can to a certain extent enhance one's own supernatural talent.

And Amandi's extraordinary talent—Ta Ke had already seen it when the other party was being baptized, when he was exerting all effort to absorb the extraordinary origin.

C-rank peak: 49%

If examined more closely, it would be about 49.5%

Obviously, Amandi came with a mission

She intends to use this baptism to raise her talent to 50%

To complete the transformation into a B-rank extraordinary talent

And after this baptism, it is now—49.8%

It's already very close to the 50% critical point

But the baptism is nearing its end, and that 0.2% is like a heavenly chasm

"What a pity!"

Ta Ke shook his head silently

If possible, Ta Ke would not be stingy, giving the other party a fragment to let Amandi complete the transformation into a B-rank extraordinary talent

But the problem is, the resources produced by the System's steady development, Ta Ke can only allocate for his own use

However, when Ta Ke saw the extraordinary origin threads drifting in the sky

when he was able to clearly and precisely enter them

A strange feeling welled up in his heart

"If!"

"I mean, if I could control the trajectories of those world-operating threads."

"That... would be a most wonderful sight."

"An SS-rank extraordinary talent is the entry point, allowing me to more perfectly harmonize with the world's threads and trajectories."

"Then, what is the precise characteristic of an SSS-rank extraordinary talent?"
