Recently, they were taught about the survival guide in case one was lost in a Dungeon alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tactics a cadet could employ in such a situation: Using beast cores to hunt an enemy, mastering various herbs to produce targeted baits and basic repair in case their cadet comm was damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the Special Classes. The instructors already explained what they could about the specific divine paths. Since most were Level 2, and a few were level 3, even with detailed explanations, it took little time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that was left was training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body Path Instructor took their students to various dungeons, mirror Abysses and other training facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students were taught to work in teams while they trained for their desired path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, some focused on controlling their senses so that when they reached Level 4, they would awaken in Controller Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat classes were the highlight of the day. More and more duels were held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narcis, Ryan and Adir were the undisputed top three. They were inching closer to level 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a positive note, regardless of their level, every student's combat experience surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were still flowers in the greenhouse. After all, their only real danger was the entrance test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So with increasing combat power, their confidence rose and, first years began to pick more and more missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was common every year. It would not be a problem since they would choose the famous dungeons and raid them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this time, the dungeons were overcrowded. With almost every eligible awakener trying to clear the hideouts, going to Low Dungeons now was a thankless task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the Vice Coordinator of the Missions' Hall was facing a huge headache. In such a short amount of time, how could he find the substitute missions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clad in black suit and matching trousers, he glanced at the dwindling missions. Then he focused his attention on the message sent by the Dreamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{This key can grant you access to any hideout. The production process is encoded on the back. I hope you make good use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am giving you the power you didn't dream. Show me fellow humans, are you worth saving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Dreamer}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does this guy really think he is a hero?\" Anwir gnashed his teeth. \"He must be a lucky ass who got some artifact or something. These bastards are too arrogant and make lives of people like me hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock. Knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\" Anwir waved his hand in irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His female secretary stepped over and bowed lightly. \"Sir, the Astor Clan agreed to your proposal. They would grant access to their chain of islands with Level 3 beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That relieves me.\" Anwir outwardly sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Of course they will. If only you knew they were collecting the data on these students for future use…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the Martin and Ganbold Clans? Our students can handsome benefits guarding their medical fields and mineral mines.\" Anwir raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent almost the entire week with his lovely daughter and was disconnected from the outside world. He celebrated her birthday for a week. What's wrong with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still remembered pitching the missions from the three clans before his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Martin Clan would secretly test their medicine on an unlucky few, and Ganbold would post missions to explore new, risky areas in the mines. That's not my concern, however.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir… Martin and Ganbold Clan….\" The secretary's ample chest heaved up and down, pulling the attention of Anwir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn, hussy!' He was about to slap her for trying this cheap trick when he found sweat rolling down her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She's incredibly nervous. Did something happen in the last week for them to reject my proposal?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, Martin and Ganbold clans are no longer first class forces.\" The secretary's voice was still unconvinced. She, too, didn't want to believe those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Anwir slammed his table as he glared at her. A red light shone on his hand as he growled. \"Who the fuck are you joking with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure of a Level 7 Fire Awakener descended onto the secretary. The heat didn't burn her clothes, but directly assaulted her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blisters were formed in a moment, and her blood evaporated before it could splash on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrgh… S-Sir, check… the news. \" She collapsed onto the floor and pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anwir paused, and the temperature cooled down. Without caring about the woman that cried in pain, he checked the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Martin Clan stands on the brink of a financial collapse….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganbold Clan faces an unprecedented catastrophe…}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anwir slumped in his chair as his world came crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No…\" He clutched his hair and saw the kneeling secretary in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unwillingness turned to rage, and he slapped the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fire palm smashed her to the ground as she twitched in pain. Her skin was dissolving and her breathing was growing shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anwir knew he couldn't actually kill her, but fuck it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sp-a..re.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. He needed to vent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As another giant fire palm was about to strike her down, a change occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature plummeted, and Anwir felt his body freezing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garh.\" He tried to activate his Fire Body and warm himself, but to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only saw two women, one young and one middle-aged, standing at the door before he passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh… help…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the grunts of the half-burnt woman, Sarah sighed and took out a healing potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could step forward, Anna took the lead and administered the medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to the healing liquid, there was also a strong anesthesia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna looked at Sarah's puzzled face and chuckled. \"We came here secretively. It's better to not let her leak anything until everything is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Sarah didn't like confining another person's freedom, she felt it was the right course of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, they took a secret passage and returned to Sarah's mansion. It had all sorts of living and training facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one that elicited the most envy being the aura concentration. It was three times as higher than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, only the top 10 of the Amethyst List were given such a residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After locking the injured woman with a care taking AI, they reached the basement of the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna threw Anwir's body to the ground and her hand glowed blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ice whip materialized and lashed on the injured man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arggh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Anwir slowly opened his eyes, a merciless voice greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anwir, who did you reveal my last mission's information to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b31bbdd0616b5b78cf6b4b44d82b7df4794220286ee070106a6ade1d6f3b1d1","divine-path-system-chapter-175","divine-path-system-chapter-174",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
