The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

If it weren't for that troublemaker at level seven, their team wouldn't have the strength to compete for first place, but they would have at least managed to get a decent middle position.

At least the rewards they received were enough to cover their resource usage for one stage. In addition, their good results would also increase the number of places that Azure Academy could enter in the next Cosmic Academy Competition.

Live up to the education provided by the institution.

"Why does this bastard always like to target us? I don't know how he became a seventh-level cultivator, damn it!"

The four people with nothing to do could only keep complaining in the cave about the martial artist who had forced them to this point.

This kind of thing really makes me angrier the more I think about it, and there's nothing I can do about that person.

Zhong Zheng and his classmates have the task of winning the championship, and they will not seek help from their seniors for their own selfish desires.

Even if the impact is small, even the slightest mistake may ultimately cause the seeded team to miss the championship.

By then, the resources and places they have obtained will not be comparable.

Therefore, when facing a seventh-level strongman, they must endure and rely on their own strength to find a way to break the deadlock.

……

That night.

On the eighteenth underground floor, in the temple that serves as a safe place, the atmosphere is completely different from the environment outside.

Outside, the howling cold wind kept hitting the temple, but no matter how strong the wind was, the temple seemed to be protected by a mysterious force and stood still in the cold wind.

The students in the temple were divided into two groups. One group of students formed a long snake and came to Li Xuan in an orderly manner to be unsealed.

The other part is excitedly experimenting with the extraordinary powers that can be used again.

However, the space in the temple was limited, and they did not dare to use it too wantonly, and only limited themselves to the space in front of their chests.

Li Xuan's technique was very skillful. He just put his hands on the handcuffs and twisted them lightly, and the handcuffs fell off.

Although those whose seals were lifted were curious about how Li Xuan did it, the joy of regaining strength directly diluted such insignificant doubts.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and the power is the greatest.

Although the lock-picking technique is magical, it is ultimately just an unorthodox method, and it is a rare opportunity to be able to use it in a competition.

Instead of taking the time to learn this skill, it is better to spend more time honing your own skills and learning more professional knowledge.

Only those who are so strong that there is no room for improvement have time to improve themselves by learning other skills.

As the handcuffs of the last person were uncuffed, Qi Caiyuan also smiled from the heart.

He came to Li Xuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us!"

Seeing this, Tian Le couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "You're truly a direct descendant of the Xingqi Empire, all about honors." As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and placed it behind his head, seemingly casually saying, "We in the Ten Thousand Stars Federation reward our meritorious officials with genuine resources..."

Qi Caiyuan naturally heard Tian Le's dissatisfaction, but he simply shook his head and said, "Jie Li is an important part of the plan, so I will not treat him unfairly. When it's over, he will get the reward he deserves."

"As for you, Tianle. You will get your share too."

Tian Le smiled and said, "So what should I do?"

"Use your ability to guide us in the direction of the road. This way, we will have more time to dig out the inside story of the eighteenth floor, and the reward you get will naturally increase." Qi Caiyuan said calmly.

Things have developed to this point, and Tian Le has no chance to jump ship even if he wants to.

The price paid was too high. Although it was easy to get out, it also meant denying his previous efforts, which was obviously a behavior that harmed others and did not benefit himself.

The most important thing is that even without his ability, this group of people on the eighteenth floor underground can eventually achieve their goal, it just takes a little longer.

"I understand. But I need a quiet place now to ensure the accuracy of the prophecy."

"No problem. They've broken the seal now. You won't get sick even if you sleep outside for a night. You can have this temple to yourself tonight and release the lust... power in your heart!"

Tian Le looked at Qi Caiyuan with a strange expression, "I think you may have misunderstood. The prophecy..."

"Don't worry, I understand all this!"

Tian Le sighed helplessly, "Never mind, there's one more thing. I don't know why, but the next action makes me feel uneasy. It might be because the prophecy says something unforeseen will happen, or our actions might lead to unknown dangers, or maybe both."

"Therefore, I must ensure absolute safety when I predict the future, and someone must be by my side. If my prediction goes wrong, special methods must be used to stop the prediction and wake me up."

This time, Tian Le spoke very seriously, without his previous cynical attitude.

Qi Caiyuan pushed his glasses and replied solemnly, "Don't worry, I'm here to guard you. No one will be able to get close to you."

"Then the task of stopping the prophecy will be left to Jie Li. The specific method is..."

Although Li Xuan wanted to refuse, he couldn't resist Tian Le's strong request.

Finally, Qi Caiyuan sent the rest of the people out to hunt creatures on the eighteenth underground floor. The reason was simple: hunting creatures could increase the results of the competition, and he believed that no student would refuse such temptation.

Finally, Shi Tongtian also reluctantly left the temple at Qi Caiyuan's urging.

"It's really strange, why does it feel like this competition is still too easy?"

"Yeah, I originally thought my life was over, maybe even ended here. Who would have thought our senior was so awesome that he could even unlock the handcuffs for the competition."

"Just be happy. With the strength of the seniors, how could they be caught here if it wasn't intentional?"

"That's really strange. If the seniors were going for the competition, why did they ask us to go out and hunt the creatures here? They could have kept them all for themselves!"

"Why bother with all that? Let's just take advantage of this opportunity to kill a few more creatures. At least we can repay the academy for its efforts!"

"..."

"We're really lucky this time. I remember that in previous competitions, casualties usually occurred right from the start. Now that we've unlocked our strength, we're completely unstoppable here!"

"Don't be silly, I discovered a group of creatures before, but I wasn't sure at the time, so I didn't provoke them. Now, they are in trouble."

"Hey, you're still a thief!"

The students who had broken the seal ran around the underground layer like wolves among a flock of sheep. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for these creatures, or perhaps, an eternal sleep.
