Chapter 289: Chapter 253: Dual Steam Core, Level: 36! (5K)_1

At Dwarf Street number 112, in the underground chamber behind Barkin’s backyard.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Inside Barkin’s alchemical Magic Cottage.

The sound of forging, full of rhythmic harmony, resonated deeply like bells and drums.

With the forging rhythm, Tuck could even feel the resonance between the materials and the forging hammer.

The waves of forging sounds were integrating perfectly with the entire ecology of Dwarf Street.

Perhaps Barkin himself wasn’t aware of what his forging state was like.

But Tuck could see it.

Barkin, in his forging state, had begun to merge with the surrounding dwarf forging ecology.

"After advancing to a Master Blacksmith, Barkin’s forging skills have really improved quite a bit," Tuck thought.

"Forging fourth-rank Dragon Scale Armor and Blood Shadow Wizard Robe seems to pose no problem."

Feeling reassured by Barkin’s forging rhythm, Tuck sat cross-legged inside his Magic Cottage.

After he arrived this time, Tuck handed over the Dragon Scale Armor, many prepared materials, and an fourth-rank Shadow Spider Crystal to Barkin for forging.

As the second ecological war approached, Tuck wanted to check and fill any gaps in the little time remaining before the eve of war.

With the Wizard Robe’s design ready and materials on hand, he wanted to forge it as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

Then, Tuck looked at the Steam Core in front of him about the size of two fists, its silver-grey surface surrounded and permeated by Origin Energy Steam.

A great Sequence creation wrought by the "Spirit of Steam and Rails" — the Steam Core!

It was both a massive catalyst for humanity to grasp and transform the ecology of the Transcendent World.

And the key to the advancement of human Steam Transcendents in the Steam Sequence.

Initial Transcendents needed to fuse with two Steam Cores.

Intermediate Transcendents required the fusion of three Steam Cores.

High-level Transcendents needed five Steam Cores to fuse.

Cumulatively, ten Steam Cores would enable a Steam Transcendent to ascend to a higher realm upon the foundations of the Steam Sequence.

Tuck intended to follow the trajectory of the Steam Sequence and, between levels 33 to 35, absorb the second Steam Core for optimal effect.

He carefully used his Spiritual Perception to infiltrate and examine the Steam Core before him.

After ensuring there were no issues with the Steam Core,

Tuck softly activated his Steam Wizard Sequence.

"Woo woo woo..."

The Origin Energy of Tuck’s Steam Sequence stirred gently around him.

At the same time, Tuck’s Transcendent State, "Old Day, Light Flame Form," which combined his physical body, soul, Origin Energy, and Sequence, quickly blossomed, emitting its most essential essence.

The intense heat, like that of a mini-sun, surged and blossomed violently.

Amidst the sonorous and vast roaring of the steam, copious amounts of steam burst forth like a deluge.

Although Tuck’s Transcendent State didn’t congeal for long,

Thanks to his absorption of a substantial amount of Lord’s material upon advancing, his practice of the powerful tome [Old Day, Steam, Starry Meditation], and his mastery of profound Rune Mysteries,

His Transcendent State now possessed a certain "Transcendent Presence."

Ordinary Sequences rarely produce such a "Presence," which is typically found in chieftains and Lord-Level Creatures.

But as an upgraded Sequence, the "Steam Sequence," which surpasses basic Transcendent Sequences in every aspect, can generate Transcendent Presence.

A thick vortex of steam quickly gathered around the Steam Core in front of Tuck.

The steam, like tentacles, drew the second [Steam Core] into Tuck’s Steam Wizard Sequence Ecology.

The [Steam Core] rapidly converted into dense steam amid the pull of the Steam Grey Mist and poured into Tuck’s Steam Ecology.

Simultaneously,

Tuck’s Silver-grey, metallic shining Steam Wizard Sequence Tree,

Set the second Steam Core to gradually take shape above the location of the first one.

One below and one above, one large and one small.

Two Steam Cores were thus represented in Tuck’s Sequence Tree.

Tuck carefully felt the effect of digesting the second Steam Core.

"First off, the conversion efficiency of Steam Origin Energy is faster, and the Steam Origin Energy itself is more abundant and solid," he noted.

"This will make my Origin Energy conversion more efficient."

"It’s not needed for short bursts of fighting, after all, my Steam Wizard Ecology has a considerable reserve of Steam Origin Energy, enough for normal combat usage."

"But... for prolonged battles where a large replenishment of Steam Origin Energy is needed. That requires an efficient conversion of Steam Origin Energy."

"Although I don’t have the opportunity for prolonged battles at the moment, I will surely need it for future transcendent voyages."

"The chaos from the Transcendent Ocean shows that Transcendents from the outer world never play fair!"

"Besides that... it’s the increase in ecological carrying capacity after absorbing this second Steam Core."

Tuck minutely controlled the power of Spiritual Perception, penetrating every nook and cranny of the Sequence Ecology, to experience the ecological carrying capacity that digesting the second Steam Core brought to him.

...

About half a day later,

The second [Steam Core] was preliminarily absorbed and digested by Tuck.

On Tuck’s Steam Wizard Sequence Tree,

The second Steam Core was about a third of the size of the first one.

As Tuck continued to nurture and practice, engaging in ecological cycles,

The second Steam Core would also reach the same size as the first Steam Core.

Supported by two Steam Cores, Tuck distinctly felt that the framework of his Steam Wizard Ecology had become much more complete.
