Half a day later.
It was getting close to evening.
Linbang Lengye City looks particularly quiet and beautiful under the sunset.
A figure suddenly appeared outside the city, but his steps were unstable and he almost fell because of the slippery and icy ground.
"Huh... finally arrived."
Polaris stood up, exhaled tiredly, looked up at the town ahead, and smiled.
He set out from the Royal City and traveled for several hours. If he had not learned the skill "Cloud Leap" after being promoted to Sequence Six Aerial Flyer, it would have been difficult for him to reach his destination in such a short time.
Although the spiritual world can be traveled quickly, unfortunately, Polaris has not found the coordinates of the earthly anchor point of Linbang Lengye City. If you travel through it rashly, you may get lost in it.
After drinking a bottle of thirst quencher and taking a short rest, Polaris finally set out and entered Lengye City.
It took him almost no effort to find the Kangkai Church by asking for directions, but he was stopped at the door by two missionaries in black.
"It is not the church's opening hours now. If you want to pray, please come before nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Father Lishman said very politely.
"Um, I'm not a worshiper, but a student of Mr. Jackspeight... This is a keepsake."
Polaris took out the Silver Snake Ring and handed it over.
Lishman and another priest looked at each other in surprise, then took the ring and examined it. They had never thought that His Majesty Jack would accept an immortal stranger as a student.
After a while.
Lishman returned the ring to Polaris and did not make things difficult for him, allowing him to pass.
"Please come in. Your Majesty Jack should be in the living area behind the church. Just walk straight along the path."
"Thanks."
Polaris put away the ring and thanked him.
Then he took a deep breath and walked in.
Along the way, Polaris saw a number of black crystal puppets wearing cloaks patrolling back and forth, as well as some sturdy puppets made entirely of blue-green crystals, wrapped in gray robes and scanning fixed points.
He was secretly surprised. Those black crystal puppets were still easy to deal with. With his current strength, it would not be a problem to take on dozens of them at the same time. However, those mist crystal puppets were much more powerful, and Polaris did not have the confidence to withstand the siege of more than three of them.
"The circus is indeed getting stronger..."
Polaris sighed.
Soon, he stopped, because when he looked up, he saw a gentleman in a black hat leaning lazily on a wooden bench beside the path with an ivory cane, looking at him quietly.
"Here we go, North Star."
The man smiled faintly and spoke.
Polaris's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying respectfully:
"teacher."
The man was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed.
"You slacked off."
Polaris was wondering when he suddenly felt his body become extremely heavy, and his shoulders seemed to be pressed down by a mountain.
boom!
He suddenly couldn't stand anymore and fell to his knees with a thud.
The stone path creaked, and cracks were created by the kneeling.
Polaris didn't know why the teacher suddenly attacked, nor did he know what kind of power this was. At this moment, except for his brain being able to think, his body was completely out of control. He was pinned to the ground by an invisible force and couldn't move.
"Stand up."
Chen Lun spoke calmly.
Polaris clenched his teeth and exerted all his strength, but the pressure was so great that his body, which had just stood up, was pressed down again.
"If you can't stand up, then don't go on this study tour."
Chen Lun lowered his eyes and looked into the North Star's eyes.
"A magic saint joined me a few days ago, and she brought an immortal stranger with her, asking me to take care of him. After thinking about it, I think she is better than you, so maybe I should take her with me this time."
“?!”
Polaris suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his pupils shrank slightly.
Undead stranger
It's a player!
At this moment, he even ignored the breaking news that a saint had joined the circus, and focused only on that player.
"Teacher Jack actually said that the player is better than me... Who could it be? Could it be the teacher's new student? No! I can't give up this opportunity, and I can't let the teacher look down on me!"
Polaris felt anxious and anxious, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
He growled, veins popped out on his forehead, and regardless of the creaking of his body, he slowly stood up with a fierce force and tenacious will.
Even though his whole body was still shaking, Polaris stood up straight, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Teacher... I, I stood up!"
"Um."
Chen Lun looked at him and nodded slightly.
"You have good willpower. I think you barely made it through."
Buzz!
The invisible pressure quietly dissipated.
Polaris almost fell backwards due to inertia and exhaustion, but the next second, he saw Teacher Jack extending an index finger with a dark shadow spreading over it, and his body was captured by a gravitational force and frozen firmly in place.
"Thank you, teacher."
Polaris forced himself to thank him.
Chen Lun slowly stood up from the bench, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:
"In the mysterious realm, the strong prey on the weak, so don't slack off."
"Yes, teacher."
Polaris quickly lowered his head.
He secretly speculated that the reason why the teacher hit him was probably because of that strange player... The sense of urgency in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Chen Lun turned around gently and said without looking back:
"Come with me, I'll take you to meet my junior sister."
"Junior sister..."
Polaris was stunned at first, and then his heart sank.
His guess came true.
That strange player was actually accepted as a student by Teacher Jack!
Full of restlessness and uneasiness, Polaris followed the black-hatted gentleman and walked all the way to the depths of the church district. While he was thinking wildly, he didn't know how he came to an open space.
"Hello, Brother Beizi."
Suddenly, a pleasant and soft girl's voice came from the front.
Polaris looked up and was slightly startled.
A cute white-haired girl with a round face, wearing a white floral dress, was standing in front of him and stretched out her hand:
"Hey, I'm Qingtian Xiaoyu, you can call me Xiaoyu... I've only heard of Brother Beizi's reputation before, but I've never seen him in person. Nice to meet you."
"Me too."
Polaris straightened his expression, stretched out his hand and shook it briefly, then spoke calmly.
"You are the president of 'Little Silver Fox', and I have heard of you."
"Oh? Really... I feel honored to be heard of by Brother Beizi!"
Sunny Xiaoyu said happily.
Polaris was unsure whether this woman was acting or not, after all, such a reaction was somewhat exaggerated. After a brief investigation, he was surprised.
"This girl is level 80. No wonder the teacher thinks she's better than me... The version update a few days ago was probably triggered by her."
Polaris thought.
"Wow! Brother Beizi, you're already Sequence 6!"
Qingtian Xiaoyu suddenly discovered something, widened her beautiful eyes, and said with admiration.
Although Polaris knew that the other party was complimenting him, he still felt very happy. He smiled faintly and shook his head:
"Just luck."
"Luck is also a part of strength!"
Sunny Day and Light Rain chuckled.
"I am now fortunate enough to be accepted as a student by Mr. Jack. From now on, you will be my senior brother! With a great master like you around, no one dares to bully me. Great!"
Polaris looked at her but didn't answer.
I thought to myself, who dares to bully you
Not to mention that Little Silver Fox has now squeezed into the ranks of first-class guilds, there are many masters in it, even Qingtian Xiaoyu himself is already a top-level player at level 80, a sequence seven magician.
She is even about to become the first mystic in the entire server!
Polaris shook his head and looked away.
The gentleman in the black hat stood there with his white cane from beginning to end, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face. His eyes were peaceful, kind, and gratified.
Polaris and Sunny Rain couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this.
However, what they don’t know is that what the teacher actually thinks in his heart is something else.
"Hmm... these two students should be suitable guinea pigs."
Chen Lun smiled and nodded secretly.
Since I want to absorb knowledge from adjacent paths and gain more powerful strength, then this one high-level player in the fate department and one high-level player in the magic department are just the right people to do a control experiment...
"We will leave for the Kingdom of Byron later, you two can get ready."
Chen Lun adjusted his black hat and spoke softly.
"Yes, teacher!"
Sunny and Light Rain responded quickly.
Polaris thought about it and asked:
"Teacher, what exactly are we going to do in the Kingdom of Byron?"
"Learn magical knowledge."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
"magic?"
Polaris was very surprised.
"But I'm not..."
Chen Lun knew what he wanted to say, and he didn't mind giving him a little hint, so he simply explained:
“Fate, nature, and magic are adjacent paths, and the relationship between the three factions is extremely close, which is desirable.”
He said, raising his index finger slightly.
The blue top hat on Polaris's head suddenly flew up, and then with a bang, it turned into a blue pig in the white mist.
"Do you think this is a trick of fate or a transformation of magic?"
Chen Lun asked with a smile.
Polaris stared blankly, and finally opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
“Actually, it’s both.”
Chen Lun waved his hand.
The blue pig turned back into a top hat and put it back on Polaris's head.
"The ability I taught you, the law of the jungle, is actually developed from natural sources... Do you understand now?"
Chen Lun asked, holding a white cane in one hand and putting the other hand behind his back.
Polaris took a deep breath, excitement hidden in his eyes, and nodded quickly.
"I understand, teacher... Extraordinary powers can become even stronger by absorbing knowledge from adjacent paths!"
"Well, I understand."
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.
Qingtian Xiaoyu, who was standing by, covered her mouth, as if she was shocked by hearing this unknown secret.
She and Polaris looked at each other, and they both understood from each other's expressions that this was an opportunity for the two of them, and they couldn't easily tell the secret to other players!
