The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Back in the dormitory, Li Xuan called out Xiaobai.

He asked casually, "Xiao Bai, if I donate money, it should be considered a good deed, right?"

[Of course. As long as the host's donation can actually reach those in need.]

Li Xuan was not worried about this.

In a sound social system, any charity organization that is registered will provide detailed information on the destination of any donations it receives, leaving no opportunity for corruption.

Correspondingly, the charity that transfers the donation will take a commission to maintain the organization's financial operations.

After taking a look at the less than four-digit donation, Li Xuan asked Xiaobai, "How do you convert donations to merits?"

[Oh, my dear host, how can merit be linked to money? This is simply an insult to you...]

Li Xuan interrupted Xiao Bai's mumbling and said, "That's enough. Just tell me the ratio directly, don't talk nonsense!"

[Okay. Exchange, oh, no, the ratio of donations to merit earned is 1:1, the same as the exchange ratio. Oh, this ratio only applies to the Xingqi Empire's Xingqi coins. Different regions have different ratios. Host, don't try to take advantage of this!]

Li Xuan coughed lightly, "What a joke, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Silent all night.

……

In the next few days, Li Xuan would go to the training ground to set up a stall. Gradually, more and more people would come and leave symbolic donations.

In fact, these are just small things. The biggest problem is the group of martial artists returning from training at night.

Every time they came to treat him, they were covered in blood. Furthermore, their strength was generally very strong, so treatment was very laborious. After each treatment, Li Xuan felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

Of course, the benefits of each treatment are also satisfying.

A month passed without any incident.

Early in the morning, Li Xuan received news that his senior brothers had come out of seclusion.

Lei Long looked flushed with joy, and happily told Li Xuan that Jin Ping and Yin Zhi had broken through to the sixth level.

It's just that they have been too depressed during this period, and their realm is not stable yet, so it will take some time before they can come out and move around.

As for the selection within the school, we have to wait until they come out of seclusion.

Li Xuan looked at the merits he had gained recently and felt that it was enough, so he decided to finish the free medical consultation activity for the day and call it a day.

The rest of the time I spent with my senior brothers preparing for the selection within the school.

If they pass by chance, they can go to the venue of the Universe Academy Competition - the Three Morning Galaxy.

This galaxy is located at the junction of three major forces. It is nominally the territory of the Xingqi Empire, but in reality it is jointly governed by three parties, and the officials also come from the three major forces.

All previous Universe Academy Competitions were held in this galaxy. The content of each competition was different, but they were basically the same.

Basically, students' combat capabilities and teamwork abilities are examined in different forms.

In terms of combat ability, Li Xuan feels good about himself. At least in terms of assisting, he can do many things that ordinary assists cannot do. One person can do the work of two people.

Therefore, they need to work harder on teamwork.

Otherwise, it is very likely that Li Xuan will cast a blinding spell, and then not only the enemy but also his teammates will be affected by the blinding spell, a similar situation.

……

The next day, Li Xuan came to the door of the training ground again.

This time he did not bring his previous equipment, but traveled light and came to the training ground with his senior brothers.

After Jinping and Ginzhi came out of seclusion, they not only successfully broke through to the Six Realms, but also became full of vigor and vitality, which was completely different from when they were fighting the demons before.

Jin Ping led the way and introduced Li Xuan, "This training ground was built by the Azure Academy at great expense. It not only has different types of terrain, but also has an intelligent assistance system."

Jin Ping pointed to the ground and said, "Take this ground for example. It's not as simple as it looks. Doesn't it look new? There's not a speck of dust on it."

Li Xuan nodded. He had been setting up a stall at the entrance of the training ground before, and he had indeed noticed that the ground in this passage was very clean. Even bloody footprints would be quickly cleaned up.

Jin Ping chuckled and explained, "This floor is made of a special material that can remove 99% of the dirt attached to the surface. Of course, this is not important."

As the three of them walked, they came to the end of the road, where there was a square house.

The outside of the house was painted blue and looked like just an ordinary room.

Jin Ping said excitedly, "What's in front of us is the core of the entire training ground. We call it the center."

"Inside this room, we can quickly travel to any location in the training ground."

After Jin Ping's brief introduction, Li Xuan suddenly understood.

In such a large field training ground, if there were no express access, how could those martial artists possibly get out on time every night?

"For such a large training ground, the daily usage fee should be very high, right?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Although this training ground was built by the university, it does not mean that it will be provided to students free of charge.

After Jin Ping finished speaking, Yin Zhi quietly approached Li Xuan and said, "Don't worry about this. Although you do need to pay to use the training ground, our students get a 50% discount. Plus, Master has shares in the training ground, so we can give you an additional 50% discount on top of that. We can let our teacher reimburse the rest!"

When Li Xuan heard that they could enjoy such a big discount, he felt a sense of pride.

As expected, people with connections can enjoy privileges everywhere.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan thanked his master in his heart whom he had never met.

As for the master's last disciple Lei Long, the three of them chose to forget about him.

But Lei Long is also a good mentor. At least he will reimburse the training ground expenses.

The three of them entered the blue room together.

As soon as he stepped in, Li Xuan had a very familiar feeling.

"Space expansion technology..."

The space in the blue house is huge, at least four times its size. The room is bustling with people, and partitions separate it into spaces that can accommodate five people, each with an operable screen.

After entering the compartment, you can use the control screen to select the location you want to teleport to, and then teleport to the corresponding location.

Of course, you need to pay a deposit before teleporting, and pay the remaining Star Coins after returning to this room. Any excess will be refunded and any shortfall will be supplemented.

After Yinzhi paid the deposit, the three of them were teleported to a desert.

Li Xuan asked curiously, "Are we going to the desert for training?"

Jin Ping shook his head and said, "No! We're here to find teammates. The internal selection for the school will begin in less than a week. Although we can put substitutes on hold and fill them in after their qualifications are confirmed, we should get this sorted out now so that we can conduct group training later."

Yin Zhi introduced, "This senior is already in his fifth year. He's currently training his physique in the desert, trying to break through his limits and reach the sixth level!"

Li Xuan looked at his senior brothers and suddenly realized that they seemed to have reached the sixth level in their junior year.

Jin Ping suppressed the corners of his mouth and said calmly, "Indeed, we were lucky enough to reach the sixth level in our junior year. If it weren't for the realization of the life-and-death experience, we would probably have to wait until our senior year to try to break through!"

Li Xuan asked again, "So what realm are the students participating in the Universe Academy Competition at?"

Yin Zhi cleared his throat and replied, "In previous Cosmic Academy Competitions, the main force was basically fifth- and sixth-level transcendents. There were also fourth-level transcendents who made a few appearances, and as for seventh-level transcendents, they rarely appeared. But what's interesting is that the Cosmic Academy Competitions with seventh-level transcendents are the most exciting, because they always appear in large numbers. The three major factions will have at least three seventh-level students participating, and they are distributed among the various academies of the three major factions."

Jin Ping added, "I've seen videos of previous university competitions. Tier 7 isn't invincible. There are many examples of Tier 6 teams defeating Tier 7 opponents and winning!"

Yin Zhi disagreed: "That's just an example, and there are too many coincidental factors involved. It can only be used as a reference. If you put it into practice, there is a high probability of failure!"

Jinping did not refute and tacitly agreed with Yinzhi's point of view.

As the three of them walked, an ocean appeared before them.

Li Xuan looked at the sea level shrouded in white mist and asked doubtfully, "Aren't we there yet?"

"Strange, the coordinates that senior gave us should be here, why don't we see anyone?"

"Could it be on the bottom of the sea?"

"Impossible! The coordinates are all in the desert, and the ocean's properties are incompatible with Senior's martial arts. There's no way the training location is in the ocean!"

Just as the three were discussing the senior's position, a huge sand waterfall suddenly appeared on the beach.

The terrifying energy shot up into the sky, carrying the beach sand into the air, like a yellow waterfall falling from the sky.

After the sand fell, it left a big hole on the beach. If you look closely, you can find a person standing in the middle of the hole.

Jin Ping and Ginzhi looked at each other, then said in unison, "It's Senpai!"

At the sixth level, Li Xuan felt the realm of that senior.

If I guessed correctly, the senior had just made a breakthrough and his aura was still a little weak, so he needed some time to stabilize.

In order not to disturb the senior from consolidating his realm, Li Xuan and the other two kept a distance from him to avoid affecting him.

After a while, Li Xuan, feeling bored, started the conversation, "Brother, where should we find the fifth person for our team?"

Yin Zhi said confidently: "Don't worry, I have posted the recruitment information on the school's confession wall. I believe someone will come to us soon!"

"Confession wall? Senior, are you sure our information won't be suppressed? Or, has anyone contacted you now?"

In response to Li Xuan's question, Yin Zhi answered seriously, "Of course! It's just that the people who actively approached us are all martial artists. Our team currently has a seriously excessive concentration of martial artists. If possible, I think it would be best to find a support magician or a psychic."

"By the way, does our school have a mechanic?"

Jin Ping shook his head and said, "There was a generational gap in mechanics before, and their proportion among extraordinary people has dropped significantly. Furthermore, our school doesn't have an advantage in mechanics, so the number of people joining is even smaller. There are probably only a few hundred today."

Yin Zhi: "I remember that the Xingqi Empire seems to have started encouraging people to learn mechanics this year, and the previously restricted knowledge has gradually been relaxed. However, it will probably take a long time for the ratio of mechanics to extraordinary people to return to normal. By that time, even Li Xuan will probably have graduated!"

After the sun had completely set, the senior was still consolidating his realm.

The temperature began to drop sharply, and the cold sea breeze hit everyone's faces, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Just when Li Xuan was thinking about whether to go back, the senior's breath, which had been rather disordered just now, suddenly calmed down.

He slowly opened his eyes and found Jinping and the other two running towards him.

He saw who was coming and greeted the three of them with a smile, "Thank you three fellow students for protecting me!"

Jin Ping smiled and said, "Congratulations, senior, for reaching the sixth level. This will give us a better chance of making it to the Universe Academy Competition!"

The senior looked at Li Xuan and touched his chin. "Is this your junior apprentice brother? Hello, my name is Wang Lun, and I am now a sixth-level martial artist."

"Hello, senior. My name is Li Xuan. I'm a fifth-level psychic with a B-level [Holy Light] ability. I'm also a third-level martial artist!"

"Dual cultivation? This path is very difficult to walk. Throughout history, countless geniuses have fallen on this road. Here's a piece of advice for you: if you feel the road ahead is difficult, turning back is the easiest way."

Li Xuan smiled and replied, "If the road is just difficult, I think I will continue on. If I can't even overcome the hardships of dual cultivation, I won't choose this path!"

Wang Lun gave a thumbs up and praised: "You have great ambition!"

Afterwards, Wang Lun and Jin Ping started chatting.

"What! You guys have also become level six!"

Wang Lun looked at the two people with silly smiles, and suddenly felt that his life in the past few years had been wasted. He was actually overtaken by his junior!

Jin Ping and Yin Zhi understood Wang Lun's thoughts very well, just like when they lost to Li Xuan in endurance and were carried away by him.

It feels really bad to be overtaken by my junior classmates.

If possible, the two of them really don't want to experience it again.

The four of them knew that this was not the place to discuss things, so they teleported directly back to the blue room.

The entire training ground is actually covered by a huge formation, the main functions of which are teleportation and surveillance.

The monitoring function is mainly to prevent people from overtraining at the training ground, becoming exhausted and unable to leave. Another layer is to prevent malicious injuries.

It was because of this function that Wang Lun boldly made a breakthrough in the wild.

Before the four of them parted ways, Wang Lun mentioned that he had a magician friend who might be able to join the team.

So, a few of them made an appointment and confirmed it for tomorrow.

Because Wang Lun had been in seclusion for too long and had some things to deal with, he left early.

Yin Zhi took out the communicator and prepared to see if there were any good candidates under the recruitment notice he had posted. After all, he had to be prepared for both situations.

But as expected, all the people who responded were martial artists, and there wasn't a single student of other professions.

Ginori briefly wondered if she had posted a recruitment message in the martial artist section.
