The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Li Xuan sat on the bed and reasoned with Xiao Bai in a bad mood: "Don't you think it's rude to show up when someone is taking a shower?"

Xiaobai didn't care at all, and said innocently: "Excuse me, host, is there any problem? We are not of the same species, what's wrong with looking at each other? Aren't you always looking at me?"

"You haven't worn any clothes this whole time?" Li Xuan stared at Xiaobai. He really didn't know.

Xiaobai, however, acted uncharacteristically shy and said, "Host, please don't stare at me. I'll feel embarrassed..."

Li Xuan's face was filled with black lines when he realized what was happening. It was obviously Xiaobai who was shameless and always appeared without clothes. How could he tell from his tone that it was his problem?

"I see you're enjoying it! You don't feel shy at all."

"Also, I remember you were always like this. Did you always see me without clothes before? Oh right! The last time you fought with Xiao Huang, you were..."

"Enough! Let's put this topic aside. Host, you should worry about your own safety first!" Xiaobai interrupted Li Xuan unhappily.

I was just joking, but he was caught. Fortunately, Li Xuan has not reached his level, otherwise I would become a laughing stock in the circle in the future.

After Xiaobai gave in, Li Xuan just smiled and ended the topic.

"Well, then, tell me what exactly is going on that would put my life in danger?"

At this point, Xiaobai dropped to the bedside table and stood, saying seriously, "The committee for this competition is a bit radical. Perhaps influenced by the general direction, you will be heading to a planet used as a test by the Zerg."

"How did you know?"

"I thought you'd be surprised. The organizing committee has sent you students into the territory of the three major natural disasters. This isn't a game, it's war! If you're not careful, you could lose your life."

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "I've seen the records of previous competitions. There have been precedents of large-scale student deaths. Moreover, the quality of the students this time is generally higher. It's not surprising that they will compete with the three major natural disasters in the next stage."

Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, this time it's not particularly dangerous. With a strong person leading the team, you won't all be wiped out."

"You haven't told me how you knew what was going on in the rest of the game?"

"Don't worry about that. I came out this time to remind the host that your merits have been exhausted. If you don't replenish them in time, the Fairy Tail world may undergo unpredictable changes!"

Li Xuan:?

"What's going on? I haven't done anything to lose my merit, so how come it's used up so quickly? Did something unexpected happen?"

Xiaobai took a deep breath and said helplessly: "The host's power is still too weak, quickly become stronger!"

"Wait a moment……"

Li Xuan was indeed a little anxious this time, but Xiaobai didn't give him any chance at all. He turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Sometimes, putting aside the fact that he has obtained superpowers, Li Xuan really feels that his system has a weak presence and does not have many functions.

Of course, there must be a small part of the reason why he has no strong desire to earn merit.

But the main reason is that the way to obtain power from the system is too simple, and the task system does not have a mechanism for forced elimination, which makes Li Xuan feel no sense of urgency. In short, he just muddles through, and it doesn't matter if he completes the task or not.

In short, it’s all the system’s fault!

Xiaobai's appearance was very abrupt, making Li Xuan feel that the next game might be a little complicated.

So, Li Xuan took out his communicator without saying anything and found the chat group of their five-person team.

[Universe University Competition, 38th Place Discussion Group]

The name of this group is very unique, and Li Xuan noticed its difference at first sight.

Without thinking too much, Li Xuan directly sent the news about the next stage of the competition to the group chat.

Li Xuan: [I have a rumor that our next exam will most likely involve heading to a planet used by the Zerg as a testing ground. Specifically, the assessment will involve retaking the planet and clearing it of the Zerg.]

Ginori: [???]

Jinping: [???]

Wang Lun: [???]

Wang Na: [???]

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the chat group instantly became lively.

Jinping: Is this rumor true?

Wang Lun: [Is the source of this information reliable? If it's true as you say, the casualty figures for this tournament are quite high.]

Li Xuan: [The source of this information is very reliable. It's a friend of mine. At least we will definitely go to such a planet.]

Wang Lun: [This is going to be really tough. Does anyone have experience dealing with Zerg? Distress.jpg]

Jin Ping: [This time we're fighting a Zerg with a full Hive. Our previous experience dealing with scattered Zerg is of little use.]

Li Xuan: [I once encountered a Zerg invasion on our planet. I was lucky at the time. I heard that an eighth-level expert passed by, and that's how we easily dealt with the invading Zerg.]

There was silence in the group for a few minutes. It seemed that no one had experience in dealing with swarms of Zerg.

Just when Li Xuan was thinking about whether to ask Senior Zhong Zheng, Yin Zhi, who had been silent, made a move.

Ginzhi: [I'm afraid this competition is truly dangerous. I just checked with Qian Yan, and he says we'll be teleported to that planet in a day. However, there's also good news: the three factions will each send their own troops to participate in this operation, so the pressure on us won't be too great.]

Li Xuan: [So fast? Should we still operate as a small team, or follow official orders?]

Yin Zhi: [Li Xuan, you have to understand, this is no longer a competition, it's a war! Every war is brutal, especially the war against the three great natural disasters. The final outcome is a life-or-death struggle...]

Wang Lun: [When does the official plan to end this battle?]

Ginori: [I don't know about these details.]

As a rule, the competition usually does not last more than half a year.

Generally speaking, the best way to rescue a planet invaded by the Zerg is to fight quickly and decisively, and not be dragged into the Zerg's rhythm.

Now most of the planets invaded by the Zerg among the three major forces have not been completely occupied. After generations of iteration, the Zerg Queen has come to the idea that one cannot exhaust all the fish in the pond.

In addition, the human race has a deep foundation, and it is impossible for them to completely defeat the human race by relying on them alone.

Therefore, even if the Queen Mother could easily take over the entire planet, she would not do so. She would choose to leave the people on the planet with hope of survival, allowing humans to build a defense line and engage in a back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle between the two sides.

This not only allows the Zerg to evolve during battle, but also maximizes the use of the entire planet's resources to feed the Zerg until the opportunity arises.

Although the decision for this competition was somewhat sudden, there was no doubt that all preparations and calculations had been made in advance.

This involved selecting a suitable planet as the test site, counting the Zerg population on the planet, and estimating its specific combat capabilities and war potential. Finally, the influence of local forces and the presence of extraterrestrial forces had to be considered.

Finally, after a series of estimates, the three forces each sent out their troops and finally took over the war-torn planet without affecting the students' trials.

Ginzhi: [I'm saying this now so everyone can be mentally prepared. Regardless, this battle is fraught with danger. The Zerg are constantly evolving, and new Zerg species may appear daily. Previous experience can only serve as a guide. If possible, we can follow the army; they have more combat experience than us.]

Wang Lun: [Yinzhi is right. Although I hope to achieve better results, everyone's life comes first. We are still young, and the future is full of infinite possibilities.]

……

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!

When Li Xuan was lurking in the group, the doorbell suddenly rang.

He was very curious about who would come to see him at this time.

So he put down his hand and went to the door.

Before he could even look at the door, an image of a doorway appeared before him.

Outside the door was a man wearing black work clothes and a baseball cap. He was standing quietly at the door with a cardboard box in his hand.

Li Xuan was amazed at the hotel's thoughtful arrangements.

There is no doubt that Li Xuan can see the scene outside, but outsiders cannot see Li Xuan inside the door.

"Hello, what do you want from me?"

Judging from the appearance, the person outside the door should be a staff member of Dongfeng Express.
