The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

After Wang Lun picked up Wang Na, he carried her directly on his shoulders.

Because his running was too bumpy, Wang Na couldn't concentrate on answering this question at all.

"Damn it, it turns out those mountains are the crystals of the crystal python! If we kill it, I guess we can end the selection right away!" Wang Lun said to everyone.

Jin Ping was speechless. "Senior, look at what you're saying. This giant crystal python is at least at the peak of the seventh level. How can weaklings like us kill it? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!"

Ginzhi: "Okay, stop talking and run! Don't let it catch up to you!"

Li Xuan and his companions were moving quickly through the forest. The giant crystal python behind them was rampaging, destroying all the trees on the road, leaving behind a deep ravine.

Jin Ping Yin Zhi glared and said, "Don't just talk about running, think of a way. It's not a solution for us to keep running like this!"

"I have a way too! But we are no match for it, it's too big!"

Li Xuan, who was standing at the back, noticed that the voice behind him was gradually fading away.

Confused, he looked back and saw that the giant crystal python behind him was gradually getting farther away from them.

However, Li Xuan did not feel relieved because of this. If such a powerful monster could be stopped, there must be an even stronger monster ahead, or a dangerous place where there is no chance of survival!

"Seniors, wait a moment, don't walk around! The crystal python has stopped!" Li Xuan shouted to the front.

Wang Lun looked back and found that the crystal python had indeed stopped and was staring at the five of them.

He put Wang Na down and looked carefully at the crystal python's pupils. His heart beat faster unconsciously.

"Why did it stop?"

Jinping speculated, "Could it be that there are its natural enemies here?"

Ginzhi shook his head and said, "It's already this big, how big must its natural enemies be!"

Li Xuan asked, "What should we do now? Continue moving forward, wait here for the Crystal Python to leave, or... give up the selection?"

"No, no, no! It's too early to give up now!" Wang Lun shook his head and rejected Li Xuan's third suggestion.

Yin Zhi said to Li Xuan, "Take out the map. Let's see if we can find a new road nearby."

Li Xuan nodded, and the projection of the planet appeared in front of everyone again.

The huge crystal python didn't seem to leave, and stayed in the same place, looking at everyone.

Its body began to emit white mist, gradually enveloping it.

The five people had no choice but to pay attention to the movements of the crystal python.

Soon, everyone observed the road ahead and found no signs of a monster's lair.

Until Wang Na frowned and said, "Everyone, look here!"

Several people looked in the direction Wang Na pointed.

The three-dimensional projection gradually flattened out, and the floor plan of the area pointed by Wang Na appeared in front of the few people.

Wang Na continued, "Most of the land ahead of us is covered with trees, but here is the only open space!"

"Is there any problem?" Wang Lun asked puzzledly while looking at the empty space.

Yinzhi thought for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, if there's no external interference, these areas should be covered with vegetation! Plants grow regardless of location. Even on cliffs, you can see traces of plants!"

"That's right, so I suspect there must be something wrong with this place! Maybe that's why the Crystal Python doesn't dare to move forward!"

Jinping nodded and said, "So, as long as we bypass this open space, we can leave safely?"

Li Xuan retorted, "Let's not talk about why that empty space appeared. This map isn't real-time. If something unexpected happens there and a high-level monster takes notice, we might not be able to defeat it!"

"Li Xuan is right, but if we give up now, we will lose the qualification to participate in the World University Competition!"

"If all else fails, how about we try to fight the giant python? It's about a 90-10 chance that we won't be bitten by it..."

Wang Lun stepped forward and said, "The unknown is what we fear most, but this giant python is too outrageous. We are really no match for it! So, I want everyone to go deeper and take a look!"

The reason for saying this is Wang Lun's selfish motive. He is already in his fifth year of college. If he fails to successfully participate in the World University Competition this time, he will not be able to wait until the next one.

Jin Ping thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, if we don't even have the courage to explore the unknown, we might as well just go home and take a shower and go to bed. What are we dawdling here for?"

Gradually, the team has begun to tend to explore the unknown ahead.

As a member of the team, Li Xuan cannot change.

As the holy light lit up, Li Xuan said helplessly, "Now that it's confirmed, we'd better set off immediately. I don't know if it's a mutation, but the white mist emitted by the crystal python is poisonous. If you inhale it for a long time, you may suffer from hallucinations!"

Wang Lun seized the opportunity and led his team deep into the enemy territory.

……

On the Monster Resources Star No. 2, a spaceship is parked in outer space, which is one of the spaceships that transport students.

Inside the spaceship.

The dean of the Demon Court was observing the situation on the planet with Lei Long.

After all, this is just an on-campus selection, and the university does not want to see any casualties among students.

Therefore, the dean of the magic academy and Lei Long were asked to serve as invigilators for this selection.

Except for the monsters that have been entrenched on the planet for a long time, most of the seventh-level monsters are no match for the Thunder Dragon, so saving a student is naturally not a problem.

The dean of the magic academy is an eighth-level being, with complex and varied magic that can easily deal with most situations.

At this moment, what was displayed on the screen in front of them was the giant crystal python that stretched for a hundred meters.

After seeing this, Lei Long was also amazed: "This giant python has been alive since the research institute was destroyed. I didn't expect it to grow so big now!"

Adolf, the dean of the Magic Academy, nodded. "Yes, the crystals on its back are so big! I wish I could go down and collect a bunch of them!"

It’s a pity that as invigilators, they are not allowed to go down and make profits.

Lei Long, however, didn't care about the school's rules at all: "What you said, after the students are done, won't it be a simple matter? If my master saw something he wanted, he would go down and get it right now!"

Adolf snorted coldly, "That's your master. Even if he wants this planet, it's not a problem! We old guys are just a bunch of lousy workers. We can't break the rules!"

Lei Long immediately smiled apologetically and poured Adolf some wine. "Don't be angry, old man. I miss my master a little, don't I?"

Adolf took a sip of wine, calming down. He then asked, "That's strange. You were clearly being investigated after the meeting. How come your students can still find the direction of the research institute?"
