The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

After seeing Li Xuan get hit, Thor immediately looked at Pusi and asked, "Teacher, what happened to him? Their attacks aren't working on you, right?"

"Speak up! Answer me!"

An excited Thor rushed to Pusi and shook him vigorously.

Dinan grabbed Thor's hand and managed to calm him down with great difficulty.

"Thor, don't get agitated. We've all witnessed Li Xuan's abilities; he'll be fine."

"Right, Pusi?"

Pusi pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. Generally speaking, only those with divine power can neutralize this kind of attack. I was only able to ignore it because of special circumstances. If Li Xuan simply had high stats, he might not be immune..."

Just when the Church of Life thought victory was in sight, Li Xuan observed himself in surprise.

"Is this your trump card? It's glowing all over, even the top of its head is glowing, it's really making people green with envy."

Regulus sneered, "Heh, keep laughing, you won't be able to laugh in a moment!"

Feeling the surging life force within him, Li Xuan felt as if he could transform this life force into his own power.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

He quickly realized that this was a good opportunity.

Li Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and he murmured in disbelief, "How is this possible!? How could this happen..."

Upon seeing this, the Church of Life began to cheer.

"Great!"

"Haha, I knew he was an idiot. I thought he was pretty good when he came out, but I didn't expect him to fall for it so easily."

"Hehe, it's finally going to end!"

"Well done! Regulus, go back and introduce yourself to my youngest daughter, you two will definitely get along!"

"Hey, you wish!"

"Exactly, is it even your turn?"

The Pope ignored the arguing crowd and focused his attention on the battlefield between Regulus and Li Xuan.

He wouldn't let his guard down until the final outcome was revealed, much less do something like popping champagne halfway through the game.

Li Xuan felt as if he were being burned by flames, his body trembling incessantly, as if countless ants were gnawing at him.

"Damn it, why can't I control the life force in my body? It's like it's about to overflow!"

Regulus sneered, "That's how mortals are. They have no power to resist the power of the gods. Just accept your fate of defeat!"

Li Xuan clutched his stomach, barely able to contain his smile.

He had no choice but to kneel on the ground with his head down to avoid Regulus and the others noticing anything amiss.

Regulus had been observing Li Xuan in "pain," and he wondered, "This is taking too long. Is it because my skill level is too low?"

He had used this ability before. Usually, people who were hit by it would have exploded into a cloud of blood mist by this time. However, Li Xuan's reaction was only that he was in pain. His body might have undergone varying degrees of deformation, but it was not visible on the surface.

At this moment, Li Xuan felt that the energy within his body was abnormally turbulent, but it was still within his control.

He could even use this restless energy to break through his cultivation level, or temporarily store it away.

Time passes slowly.

Three minutes later, Regulus realized something was wrong, and he began casting spells on Li Xuan again, not daring to stop for a moment.

Nord had originally planned to launch a sneak attack with his pistol, but seeing that Li Xuan remained motionless, he couldn't help but say, "Damn, is the teacher putting on an act for us?"

Thor reprimanded him sternly: "What are you saying? The teacher is in so much pain right now, he must be fighting against that person's power. He's probably still struggling to hold on!"

Pusi learned of the current situation from the angel's split soul, and his eyes were full of confusion.

The split soul just told him that Li Xuan was just joking around. Although he looked very uncomfortable, he couldn't help but laugh.

Five minutes later, the Pope and the bishops also sensed that something was wrong.

The Pope shouted, "Regulus, stop watching! Take advantage of his immobility and attack him at close range! Don't delay any longer!"

Upon hearing this, Regulus rushed towards Li Xuan without hesitation.

At the same time, Nord raised his pistol, ready to shoot Regulus in the head and blow his skull open.

Pusi grabbed his arm and shook his head, saying, "Wait a minute, don't disturb Li Xuan."

Just as Nord was about to lash out, Li Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.

"It was already so close, your patience is really disappointing."

Looking in the direction of the sound, Li Xuan had already stood up and was restraining Regulus with just one hand.

Li Xuan's complexion was rosy, showing no signs of illness, as if Regulus's abilities had been giving him a massage all along.

"Why are you alright?" Regulus asked in astonishment.

Li Xuan shrugged and retorted, "Why would I have something to do? Why are you so confident?"

"This is the power of a god. You are not a divine being, how could you ignore the influence of such power? And you..."

Li Xuan yawned and casually tossed Regulus into the group of people from the Church of Life.

Thor and his three companions took the opportunity to approach Li Xuan.

Thor touched Li Xuan with concern, "Teacher, are you alright? Why is your body still glowing green?"

"Oh, after all, the spellcaster isn't dead yet, and his spell is still in effect. But don't worry, this is a good thing for me, it has no bad impact."

Pusi asked, "Li Xuan, how did you do that? Clearly..."

Li Xuan smiled slightly and put his index finger to his lips: "We'll talk about that later. Let's deal with the Church of Life first, and then I'll explain the current situation to you."

He reassured everyone and then snapped his fingers.

Everyone was silent for five seconds, but nothing happened.

Nord looked around and asked, "Teacher, what did you do?"

Li Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, it seems she's not planning to take action. Let's just use our own people to do this."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers again.

Rumble~

The sound of the ground trembling surprised everyone present.

The Pope helped Regulus up and asked with concern, "How are you? Can you still move?"

Regulus clutched his chest weakly and said, "Quick, run! He's a monster! I'm no match for him..."

The bishop looked up, glanced around, and said with a wry smile, "It seems we can't leave anymore..."

The original plant cages have disappeared, replaced by steel cages made up of tall robots.

Dinan said uncertainly, "I remember these were the robots that fought alongside us. Can they even fight?"

Pusi: "They're so strong, I think it's possible!"

Thor: "But the other side are, after all, members of the Church of Life, and there's that so-called 'divine descendant.' Can they really pull it off?"

Nord exclaimed excitedly, "Absolutely! The power of science is boundless, and since they are not living beings, the abilities of that divine being are definitely useless!"
