Not even a moment.
The small groups of high-level players headed by Polaris and Dongyang Chenxi each exchanged for the Sequence Eight Transcendental Knowledge of their own faction, read it on the spot, and were promoted on the spot.
For low-sequence promotion, there is no need to complete promotion tasks. As long as the level meets the requirements and the corresponding extraordinary knowledge is in hand, it can be promoted.
This is quite convenient for players.
Dongyang and others accumulated a considerable amount of experience points in the Bloody Battle at the end of the last version. On average, each person directly leveled up by five or six levels. Although they cannot be compared with Polaris, they have already opened up a gap with most players.
"Look at the ranking list!"
The gold nugget suddenly spoke.
Dongyang and others were confused, so they quickly opened the panel and called up the ranking data on one side.
The number one is undoubtedly Polaris, but from the second to the tenth place, there are no familiar IDs. The highest among them, Dongyang, is only sixteenth, and the lowest, Meet the Dragon King, has dropped directly to fifty-ninth place.
"Damn it! When did so many 'monsters' appear? We dropped so much ranking in an instant!"
The Dragon King said in surprise.
"He is not from the three major guilds."
Dongyang frowned.
"But they are all first-rate guilds similar to Chu Xi. It seems that they have made sufficient preparations. They have already found the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 8 and accumulated a lot of experience. They are just waiting for the version update... And there are also a small number of individual players who have come from behind to catch up."
"There are many hidden talents in the player community. Don't underestimate anyone..."
The centaur shook his head with emotion.
"As time goes by, our initial advantage is no longer obvious... If we want to stay ahead, we must work hard enough."
Polaris looked at the rest of his companions and spoke softly.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"But everyone has to trust Jack and the circus, because by the time we reach the mid-sequence stage, it won't be so easy to obtain supernatural knowledge above sequence seven..."
Polaris said with a chuckle.
When Dongyang and others heard this, they immediately understood what he meant.
"That's right. Whether it's the Empire or the Orthodox Church, when it comes to supernatural knowledge above the middle sequence, there is an extremely high threshold... But here at Jack's, it seems that you can always exchange it directly."
Dongyang nodded and smiled proudly.
Everyone suddenly felt that the atmosphere was less solemn and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The most urgent thing is to raise our level first. After all, we are the team that has dominated the list for a version... I don't want to give up this position easily!"
Dongyang looked at everyone and said.
"Of course! At least we can't bring shame to the circus!"
Goutoujin said loudly.
"In the eyes of other players, the 'Circus' is not just a supernatural force, it also means 'the gathering place of the strongest players'! From the internal beta to the public beta 1.0 version, we have always been at the forefront of the gradient, and we can't let this reputation go to waste!"
"Let's work hard on the main quest together, and strive to reach level 50 as soon as possible, and then prepare for the promotion to the middle sequence."
Dongyang glanced around and slowly stretched out his hand.
Everyone looked at each other, then stretched out their hands and placed them on the back of Dongyang's hand.
"come on!"

In the following time, Polaris and others began to familiarize themselves with the newly acquired sequence abilities in the open space of the cottage by the Wonderland Lake.
Everyone seemed very excited and satisfied with the improvement in their own strength.
Among them, the performances of Ngoutujin and Forgotten Wuji are particularly obvious.
"The ability of Flesh and Blood Sequence Eight - Gourmet is really strong. I'm not kidding. In a one-on-one, none of the three Dongyangs can match me."
He stood on the lawn with his hands on his hips and spoke to his companions.
Dongyang, Ma Ren and Kuang Ben Kuang sat aside, shaking their heads and sighing.
"Who knew that the Sun Faction's Sequence 8 was a functional sequence that was biased towards logistics? The growth of the craftsman's panel was average, and the extra extraordinary forging seemed useless. Not only did it consume too much physical strength, but the process was also very long, and the failure rate was ridiculously high... As a vice-chairman, I don't want to waste my precious time on this."
Chen Xi, Su Keying and others kept smiling, trying not to show any expression of gloating.
"Gold and the others can devour part of our attacks and transform them into temporary abilities to counterattack. This ability will become stronger as it grows... I really shouldn't have chosen the Sun."
The centaur looked annoyed.
"How are you doing?"
Dongyang turned and asked Chenxi and others.
"The improvement of Magic Sequence 8 - Apprentice is not obvious. I still can't cast spells directly, but the efficiency of writing scrolls has increased, and the magic I master has also increased... Overall, it's not bad. I am quite satisfied."
Chen Xi smiled.
"Honey Grapefruit Star Sequence Eight - The Trickster can use words or actions to mislead the enemy, and can even be used in conjunction with the Hunter's traps. It's quite powerful."
Listening to her words, the faces of Dongyang and the other two became more and more depressed.
"Excuse me, everyone here is a lecher..."
Weiyin laughed and stretched out his right hand.
Ten ghosts floated out from her body and wrapped around her palm, instantly dyeing it black.
"Moon Sequence Eight - Executioner increases the lethality. Now I can attack the soul directly. In other words, I can ignore physical defense... Dog-headed Gold, aren't you arrogant? Do you dare to take my punch?"
"Forehead… "
The gold nugget suddenly fell silent.
The Flesh Faction was indeed somewhat restrained by the Moon Faction. After all, they were good at physical strength and recovery, but they were somewhat helpless when faced with attacks on the soul... At least that was the case at this stage.
"You're just cheating. Although you have high damage, you're still fragile... Besides, as long as I don't get hit by you, I'm done. In terms of tolerance, you're still a little bit behind."
Goutoujin seemed to have regained his confidence, and said as he adjusted his hair.
Unexpectedly, Weiyin rushed over without saying a word and hit him in the face.
"Fuck, sneak attack!"
The gold nugget fled quickly.
"You have no moral principles!"
"Damn you, I'm going to kill you!"
The tail tone pursued relentlessly, and the two started a fight on the lawn.
Everyone could see that what Goutoujin said was true. With his much better physical fitness than Weiyin, he was able to dodge effectively. And Weiyin didn't dare to resist his counterattack. Both of them were very afraid of the other's offensive and fought more cautiously.
Afterwards, Dongyang and others turned their attention to Su Keying.
"Why are you looking at me..."
Su Keying was stunned at first, then shrugged.
"Conspiracy Sequence Eight - Locksmith is still the same 'Old Six' as always. In terms of panel growth attributes, the dexterity has been improved even more, and the newly added sequence ability can achieve short-distance teleportation."
She demonstrated it to everyone by drawing a square on the lawn out of thin air, and then pushed it open as a "door". The next second, she crossed a distance of dozens of meters and emerged from under the feet of Dongyang and the other two.
"This is too strong..."
Goutoujin took the time to turn around and take a look, he was stunned.
"How dare you be distracted? Go to hell!"
Weiyin took the opportunity to throw a punch.
The dog-headed golden-haired boy's hair stood on end and he grabbed with his five fingers as if by reflex.
A big mouth full of sharp teeth appeared in his palm, which actually ate part of the soul power attached to the tail fist and spit it out immediately. This series of actions was completed in an instant, and with a bang, both of them fell to the ground and could not get up.
"You... you dare to steal my power!"
Tail was very angry and cursed weakly.
"Do you understand what it means to transplant flowers and trees, or to change the stars?"
Goutoujin's face was pale, the pain in his soul was indescribable, he took a breath and retorted.
"Polaris, what about you?"
Dongyang said suddenly.
Everyone turned their eyes to the North Star. As the strongest force in the small group, they were all very concerned about the changes in the North Star.
Unexpectedly, Polaris just stood there quietly with his elbows folded, smiling and shaking his head.
"Like you, the Diviner is also a functional auxiliary sequence. The two additional abilities, 'Divination' can predict things, but it is difficult to be accurate due to the influence of many factors such as intelligence and mysterious weight... 'Spiritual Intuition' improves the ability to predict danger. Although it has a wide range of applications, it does not significantly improve actual combat."
"Brother Beizi is right... We both have these two skills."
The three destiny players, Long Wang, Nana and Tutu, all nodded in agreement.
"What a pity..."
Dongyang sighed.
Polaris understood what the other party meant, but just chuckled.
"Don't feel sorry for me. In fact, I personally think this is a kind of balance... According to the plot background, there is a reason why the ten sequences have been able to continue from the ancient era to the present. Each sequence has its strengths. We don't need to care too much about the gains and losses of one or two low-level sequences. We should take a long-term view."
He turned and smiled at each of his companions.
"You don't think you'll stop here, do you?"
"Of course not."
Dongyang was startled for a moment, then he laughed heartily.
He was encouraged by Polaris's calm words, and the craftsman's depressed mood because it was not what he wanted was mostly dissipated.
"Since Trisur was founded on the Sun Sequence, it cannot be weak."
He stood up, dusted himself off, and regained his confident look.
Polaris was thinking in his heart that the reason why he was able to play the Fate System, which was originally recognized as the weakest, so well and come into the sight of many players was because of the exclusive skills taught by Teacher Jack.
Is the improvement of the fortune teller small
uncertain.
Maybe I haven't fully understood the essence of it.
"Find an opportunity to meet with Teacher Jack as soon as possible and ask him for advice."
Polaris thought.

The next morning.
When all the high-level players gathered in the fairyland again, a familiar figure suddenly appeared. He was wearing a black hat and a black suit, and he stood straight with an exquisite silver cane.
"My fellow warriors from a foreign land, it is a pleasure to see you again."
Chen Lun took off his top hat, placed it in front of his chest, leaned forward slightly and spoke.
"Mr. Jack!"
A group of players said excitedly.
Except for Dongyang and others, the rest of the circus' elite players gathered around. Taiyin was held tightly by her best friend Su Keying, and they almost made another "love pounce".
"I believe you have heard about the Empire's preparations for the 'Western War'... Fortunately, your return has given me more hope."
Chen Lun spoke up.
He looked at this group of players, and calmly used his life-gaze to see their current status. He felt relieved, as expected of his elite players, most of whom had been promoted to Sequence 8, and among them, Polaris was just like himself, who had reached the peak as soon as he was promoted, and was only one step away from the middle sequence.
'Hmm... maybe we can give Polaris a little extra treatment and let him become the first mid-ranking player in version 2.0?'
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Mr. Jack, are you here to announce the main... er, Western War-related missions?"
Goutoujin suddenly asked.
Hundreds of eyes stared at the gentleman in black, hoping to hear good news.
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
Of course he knew what these players were thinking, so he pretended to ponder for a while and then nodded slowly.
"Yes, the war in the west is of great importance, and the empire needs you..."
"oh!
”
The players cheered excitedly.
The three-day suspension of service for updates had made them lose their appetite and unable to sleep. Now that they can directly participate in the main storyline after going online, how can they not be happy
"But you need to make a choice here."
Chen Lun raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"What choice?"
Dongyang asked on behalf of the others.
Chen Lun looked at the players with puzzled faces and said directly:
"You can choose to participate in the Western War as mercenaries of the Imperial Army, or you can go to the battlefield as a member of the Kangkai Council Expeditionary Group... Both options have their pros and cons, please consider carefully."
"Teacher, is there any difference between the two?"
Polaris asked.
"For the first option, you will be able to obtain the corresponding standard equipment and supplies, and you will follow the main force into the frontal battlefield, where you will face a more intense battle... For the second option, you will not receive any material assistance, and you will need to solve all the weapons, equipment, and supplies on your own, and the battles you will participate in will mostly be sideline support."
Chen Lun explained slowly.
After hearing this, the players started talking about it.
Judging from Jack's explanation alone, it is obvious that the first option is better. Not only can you get free weapons and equipment, but you also have more opportunities to level up.
Is the war intense
The players are not afraid at all!
They are just afraid that there will be no monsters to spawn!
"Teacher, in what capacity will you go to the battlefield?"
Polaris asked without giving it much thought.
"I just want to follow you and kill the enemy together!"
"Yes, our idea is the same as Polaris. We will choose whichever one can go to the battlefield with you!"
Goutoujin, Dongyang and others also expressed their opinions.
They would not consider those minor details. After going through an entire version, these high-level players have already strengthened their convictions... The only truth is to hold on to Jack's thighs tightly!
What kind of weapons, equipment and supplies are these? How much are they worth
They don't care!
So what if there are fewer opportunities to fight
Jack will definitely have more benefits waiting for them!
"Well... the Kangkai Council has already decided on the candidate. I will be the person in charge of this Western War and personally lead the clergy to help the Empire in the expedition."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
"Teacher, I choose the second one!"
Polaris said firmly.
Chen Lun glanced at him with satisfaction, and secretly said that special arrangements must be made for him.
Dongyang and the others did not hesitate and chose the Kangkai Council camp. After a moment of discussion and consideration, the rest of the circus players made the same choice, which was to follow Jack's steps.
Players who can enter the circus are not stupid, so they naturally know which option is better.
"In that case, we will set off tomorrow. All personnel must arrive at the southwest border within seven days and assemble at the Vulture City of the Deserted State... Those who are late will be disqualified from participating in the war."
Chen Lun said calmly.
He raised his hand and gently tapped the silver cane, making a dull sound on the ground. The players immediately responded in unison:
"Yes! Mr. Jack!"
