The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"I see. I see. The situation here is this: Senior Zhong Zheng and his team have contacted our Azure Academy team, hoping we can discuss it together."

"Sure, I have no problem with that."

"Okay then, we agreed to meet at the cafeteria, so don't be late."

"Ok."

It's the buffet restaurant again. There seems to be only one buffet restaurant in the hotel. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward for so many people to appear in there?

Soon, Li Xuan put these thoughts aside and went straight to the buffet restaurant.

On the way, he saw many students in groups of three or five, some walking, and some entering the same room.

It looked like the other students had gathered as well, but… was it really okay for them to go to the cafeteria?

On the way, Li Xuan thought of many possibilities, for example, Zhong Zheng took the people from the Blue Academy to book the entire buffet restaurant, so that they could talk freely and eat to their heart's content here.

For example, they directly sent two muscular seniors to stand at the door. Once someone came in, they would shake their muscles to create a visual impact on them, so as to get a more private space to discuss the next exam.

Soon, Li Xuan's doubts were resolved.

He arrived at the cafeteria, but the two brothers he expected were not at the door, and there were many students from other schools eating inside.

Li Xuan looked around and finally found the organization in the part of the restaurant away from the door.

Or rather, the organization discovered him.

Just as he was looking for his team in the vast crowd, the sharp-eyed Yin Zhi saw him directly, and when he was not paying attention, pulled him to a large round table.

The round table was full of people.

Not only was there Yin Zhi who pulled him to a seat, but there were also three teammates, Jin Ping, Wang Lun, and Wang Nazhe, senior Zhong Zheng, and many contestants from the Blue Academy.

Cade and Lichi were not at the round table. They seemed to prefer a quiet environment and chose to sit in a seat for two, not far from the big round table.

At this distance, if you concentrate a little, you can hear what's happening over here.

The big round table was filled with exquisite food, but no one present seemed interested in these delicacies. Instead, they looked at Li Xuan with extremely passionate eyes, as if they were looking at the legendary supreme delicacy.

Li Xuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he took the initiative to break the strange atmosphere: "Hello everyone, I am a freshman in the Martial Arts Department, Li Xuan. My awakened superpower is Holy Light, and I am currently..."

Zhong Zheng, who was sitting opposite, interrupted with a smile: "Okay, don't be so polite. We have already discussed your information before. This time, you played a big role. Not only did you achieve a staged victory, but you also created a great opportunity for us."

Li Xuan blinked and asked, "Well, can I ask what exactly this opportunity is?"

Zhong Zheng explained, "This time, the strongest monster in the small world was eliminated, which caused the first stage to end early. This disrupted the plans of many participating teams, including ours."

Zhong Zheng said this with a helpless smile.

To be honest, their plans were also affected.

According to the original plan, Zhong Zheng's team will hunt down monsters of all levels step by step.

However, the seventh-level monsters in the small world are all the overlords of their respective territories. It takes a lot of time just to find their locations. Before the end of the game, they only found and hunted three seventh-level monsters and many of their minions.

They had originally wanted to try to find this top-tier eighth-rank monster, but it wasn't necessary. They only devoted a small amount of time to searching, and most of their energy was focused on other monsters.

Li Xuan touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I really don't know this rule..."

Zhong Zheng: "Don't worry. The results of the first phase are pretty much what we predicted at the beginning, so you don't have to worry about it affecting anything."

"Instead, the two worms you eliminated ended the game early and even helped the other teams in the small world."

"You may not know that in the small world, there is a seventh-level monster with no dignity wandering around in the low-level monster area, constantly stealing monsters to kill."

Li Xuan was surprised and asked, "Is there really such a person? Which school is he from?"

Yin Zhi took over the topic: "I know about this person. He is a student of the Canglan Academy of the Xingqi Empire. The location of this academy is not very good, very close to the edge of the country. His name is Li Xingyue. He is a martial artist who specializes in the Zhanmie style. It is said that he has a lot of fun there and has several girlfriends..."

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Yinzhi found that everyone around him was looking at him with very strange eyes, which made him a little unsure whether he should continue.

Li Xuan reminded him, "Brother, what you said is a bit gossipy. Li Xingyue's emotional issues are not very important. We can talk about this kind of thing when we get back, okay!"

Someone couldn't help but say, "No, keep talking!

Zhong Zheng and the others immediately shifted their gazes over there.

His eyes wandered, and he added, "Maybe we can find his emotional weakness and defeat him in one fell swoop!"

Zhong Zheng rubbed his eyes and said helplessly, "Okay, don't talk about other people's private affairs in public. If someone happens to see you, it won't be a good thing for anyone."

"By the way, Yinzhi, let's add each other as friends so we can share any news we have later." As he said that, Zhong Zheng took out the communicator.

"And me, I want it too."

"Add me one."

"I want to hear gossip, not news!"

"..."

Soon, they formed a neat line behind Zhong Zheng and began to add Yin Zhi's friends one by one.

Li Xuan covered his face, he really couldn't bear to watch it.

So he quietly got up from his seat and went to the buffet area to get some food.

Although there was plenty of food on the round table, none of them even touched their chopsticks, so he didn't want to start eating first.

Soon, he came to the prepared food area, looking for his favorite food.

Order a piece of sweet and sour pork and a braised prawn.

Wow! Such a big crab leg, let’s have one first.

Soon, a plate was full.

When Li Xuan returned with a full load, they had already completed the exchange of contact information and also established a gossip group called [Bi Bilan Academy Information Exchange Group].

After Li Xuan returned to his seat, Yin Zhi pulled him in directly.

The first message in the group was a document about Li Xingyue. After Li Xuan opened it, he found that the content of the document was very rich, and it was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on it.

It seems that the shadow that Li Xingyue has cast on Yin Zhi is not as small as he appears, otherwise he would not spend a huge amount of money to purchase Li Xingyue's biographical information.

This posture clearly shows an intention to retaliate.

Zhong Zheng took a quick look at the communicator and then put it away.

"Ahem, okay, let's go back and look at this stuff later. Now we're going to talk about the next stage of the exam."

After Zhong Zheng finished speaking, everyone put away their communicators. Some of them blushed, as if they had seen something embarrassing.

"As I said earlier, thanks to Li Xuan, we have a chance to strive for better results. Before arriving here, I bought some information about the next stage. I called everyone here this time just to give everyone some peace of mind."

At this point, Yinzhi was suddenly stunned. Isn't this his word?

I should have known not to gossip about that bastard.

"According to reliable sources, our next opponent is... the Zerg! Not a single one, but a Zerg led by a Queen. We don't know which branch it is, but there's no doubt that the Queen is at least a seventh-level being."

"Wow, this game is so big!"

"We're finally going to face the three great natural disasters. I don't know why I'm feeling so emotional."

"That's a rank seven queen mother. If the occupation lasts longer, there might even be rank eight Zergs in charge. This is really too difficult."

Everyone at the round table was discussing the matter; the news was truly devastating.

Zhong Zheng said again, "Don't worry too much. We students alone are no match for the Zerg. It's likely that the three major forces will provide military support."

"I've called you all here this time because I want to give you some personal advice. It would be best if you can stay in the logistics unit and avoid going to the front lines."
