The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

“So that’s how it is… hehe…”

Jie Yu muttered to himself, whispering softly.

Li Xuan, who was sitting opposite him, heard his words clearly.

Although it was not broken, this tone always made Li Xuan feel that Jie Li was showing signs of turning evil.

After he set up the soundproof barrier, he asked, "What's wrong? You were so distracted just now. What happened?"

Jie Li raised his eyes, with all kinds of emotions flowing in them. The complex feelings made Li Xuan's scalp tingle.

"What's going on?" Li Xuan asked.

He slowly said, "The leader just now was one of the people who bullied me..."

When Xie Li said this, it seemed as if all his strength was drained out. He touched his head helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"Can you elaborate? I assume you've seen this man become a soldier, protecting this planet, or rather, the people of this city. Originally, at the eighth level, you could easily retaliate, even going so far as to say, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." But your conscience won't let you do such a thing."

"Maybe I can give you a little advice."

Jie Li raised his head slightly and looked at Li Xuan with complicated eyes. After a long time, he finally slowly told him what he had experienced at that time.

The situation was very simple. He was an orphan at the time, but he was very arrogant. With Tian Le taking care of him, he would basically not encounter any major conflicts.

Because it is a marginal planet, the welfare benefits are similar to Li Xuan's. He has a place to live and enough food to eat, but the environment is a bit poor, and he will be despised by his classmates who live in the upper-class areas.

In the world of extraordinary people, combat ability is above all else.

So there are combat courses in high school too.

When Tian Le was there, all problems would be solved in this course. Even if Tian Le had not awakened his superpowers at that time, he could crush other students with his own strength.

Jie Xu and Tian Le usually hang out together, and some people who look down on Jie Xu have also been taught a lesson by Tian Le himself.

So, after Tian Le left, Jie Yu became their target for venting their anger. The person they just met was one of the leaders, but his family was very ordinary, just one level above the bottom of the contempt chain.

But he listened to the orders of the upper-class students and punched Jie Li again and again.

The two of them were like two fighting beasts, dueling each other for the amusement of the people above.

Born with a proud character, he knew clearly that he was no match for these people, but he still agreed to their requests for sparring every time. Even when he was beaten to a bloody pulp, he never gave in.

Now he didn't know why he was so stubborn at that time. It was obvious that if he just ignored them, they would slowly forget about him, a man without any fighting ability.

Li Xuan put Jie's words into context and said in surprise, "So, you were beaten by this group of people for a whole year! No wonder this system that makes you stronger by getting beaten came after you."

Jie Li: "Are you giving me advice?"

Li Xuan smiled awkwardly and apologized hastily, "Ahem, don't worry. From what you said, I understand that those students in the upper district are now old enough to attend academy, but there's a high probability that they won't be able to break through the Zerg blockade and will have to stay on this planet."

"So, I suggest that we take revenge and settle grievances. Let's start with this person..."

After hearing Li Xuan's advice, Xie Yu hesitated and said, "To be honest, we are now worlds apart. Is it really okay for me to cling to the past?"

"Don't you understand your own heart? Look at how you acted after you saw that person? If you don't get out, you'll regret it sooner or later!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan stood up and took out a huge sack.

"Enough of the nonsense. Let's use this guy as a guinea pig. Beat him up first. If you don't feel anything, it means you've let it go. If you feel even a little better, then we'll find someone else!"

Seeing Li Xuan's insistence, Xie Yu could only curl his lips slightly and agreed with seemingly embarrassment: "Well, since you've said it this far, it would be hypocritical for me to refuse again. Let's go now!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Li Xuan glanced at the lying old man and casually threw down a Star Coin with a face value of 100.

"Thank you very much, sir. I'll leave the money on the table for you."

After saying this, Li Xuan chased after Jie Li in front of him.

The two men who came to the street found that the sound of fighting was still there in the distance. It was obvious that this attack was not simple.

"It's not over yet. That person won't die on the battlefield, right?" Li Xuan made a bold guess.

Hearing this, Jie Yu was obviously a little anxious: "Let's go quickly. If he really dies, we will have to go through the trouble of finding other people later!"

The two of them headed towards the outside of the city. On the way, Jie Li was dissatisfied with Li Xuan's slow speed, so he picked him up and ran.

With Jie Lu's eighth-level speed, the two of them quickly arrived near the fortifications built by the people in the city.

At this time, the soldiers kept shooting at the incoming monsters. Among the monsters were many low-level Zerg. They were fearless and faced all kinds of attacks.

Li Xuan looked at the weapons these people were using and couldn't help but complain: "Weren't they once the front line against the Zerg? Why are they still using these long-obsolete gunpowder weapons? If a fifth-level monster or Zerg appears, won't they just be waiting for death?"

Xie Li did not listen to Li Xuan's complaints, but kept scanning the people who were fighting, trying to find the old friend named Lu Ren.

Li Xuan was about to turn around to inquire about the situation when he saw Jie Li, dressed in a black robe, suddenly appear above the monsters and Zerg, his eighth-level aura revealed without any concealment.

The monsters and insects below, which were originally so aggressive, suddenly stopped and lay on the ground trembling, motionless.

On the human side, a ceasefire was also reached because of his appearance.

Jie Li's murderous intention was mainly directed at the monsters and insects on the ground, so humans did not feel any discomfort.

Instead, they began to discuss the identity of the man in black robe.

"Who is this man in black robe? A powerful figure from one of the three major forces?"

"Horror! These monsters were completely suppressed by him alone."

"Is this the power of a high-level transcendent?"

"Sir, please lead us in the charge!"

"Yes, sir! Lead us to eliminate these damn bugs! I am willing to be your vanguard."

The morale of the human race continued to rise, and they were about to break out of their positions and fight these insects to the death.

However, Jie Li didn't take them seriously at all. From beginning to end, his attention was focused on Lu Ren, for fear that he would be killed by the Zerg or monsters if he was not careful.

"Annoying!"

Jie Li raised his hand and pressed down, and the Zerg and monsters lying on the ground turned into blood mist. The land stretching for several kilometers was covered with the remains of Zerg and monsters.

With this move, he immediately broke the Zerg's offensive. The remaining Zerg all hid themselves, not daring to show their heads, for fear of being seen by Jie Li and killed instantly.

After resolving his worries, Jie Li disappeared into the sky without saying anything.

Two other people disappeared at the same time.

"Oh my god, too strong. Don't you agree? Boss Lu Ren... Boss? Brother Lu Ren? Have you seen Captain Lu Ren? Strange, he was here just now."

The soldiers belonging to Lu Ren's team touched their heads in surprise, and were a little at a loss for a moment.

In the forest outside the City of Hope, Jie Li threw Lu Ren to the ground and then released Li Xuan.

"Ahem... Sir, what do you want from me?" Lu Ren was terrified, but facing such a powerful being, he knew his life was probably over. Instead of yelling, he decided to remain calm; at least he could leave a good impression.

"Wow, you are too impatient. Fortunately, we didn't show up." Li Xuan came to his senses and took out a sack to put it on Lu Ren.

"Wait, sir!" Lu Ren stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What? You still want to refuse us when we're in the middle of nowhere?" Li Xuan looked at Lu Ren with a wicked smile, the sack in his hand already thirsty.

Lu Ren said flatteringly: "How dare I trouble you, sir, to do this? I will do it myself."

Li Xuan didn't give him a chance at all: "What a joke! I just like to move on my own. If you were the one doing it, why would we tie you up? Be good, take a deep breath, it will be over soon!"

A large sack passed directly over Lu Ren's head, completely encasing him.

I don’t know if it was because I was mentally prepared, but Lu Ren felt that his originally restless heart gradually calmed down after being put in the sack.
