"Alright, stop fooling around, let's get back to base."

Shao Peiyu's smile faded, and he said in a serious tone, "This is the lair of the White Demon Eagles. We killed a White Demon Eagle of the War General level and stole their eggs. If the main force finds out, we will all perish here."

Upon hearing this, the smiles on everyone's faces vanished instantly, and they all nodded in agreement. They glanced reluctantly at the white demon eagle's corpse on the ground, their eyes filled with regret.

After a demon dies, its soul will linger around the corpse for a period of time. Ordinary mages cannot see it; only necromancers or those who possess a vessel for the dead can capture its remnants and essence.

This warrior-level white demon eagle might drop a valuable essence, but they are in a dangerous situation and don't have any soul artifacts on them, so they can only watch helplessly as this precious corpse is wasted.

They don't even have time to deal with other valuables on the corpse, such as eagle claws, feathers, and flesh.

Dongfang Lie said with a face full of reluctance, "What a pity! If we could dissect something extraordinary from this guy, wouldn't it sell for tens of millions?"

"Is life more important or money?" Zhuang Lifeng said irritably, still feeling lingering fear from the chase he had just experienced.

"I just spotted at least three White Demon Eagles about a kilometer or two away. One of them was even bigger than this one, and it might even be a commander-level one. If we don't leave soon, we'll really be surrounded."

Commander-level demons are beings that even high-level mages must be wary of. With the strength of these mid-level mages, encountering a commander-level demon would only lead to certain death.

However, Zhuang Lifeng's statement was indeed a bit exaggerated. Before coming here, Shao Peiyu had already conducted a detailed investigation and confirmed that no commander-level creatures would appear here.

But no one dared to delay any longer. They immediately identified their direction and retreated quickly out of the jungle.

Dongfang Lie jogged up to Shao Peiyu, his face full of curiosity: "Brother Yu, what exactly did you awaken in your second line? I've never seen you use it before, and you wouldn't tell me when I asked. Could it be that it mutated into some kind of overpowered magic like the first line?"

This question intrigued not only Dongfang Lie, but everyone in the team. Shao Peiyu's Holy type was already incredibly powerful; if his second type were also a Mutant type, it would be unimaginable.

Upon hearing this, Shao Peiyu's lips curled into a mysterious smile, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "It's a secret, you'll find out later."

"Tch, fine, don't tell me then, you're so stingy." Dongfang Lie curled his lip and said uninterestedly. Then, remembering something, he asked, "Speaking of which, there's only a little over a month until the start of the semester. Your Sacred Department is so special, it doesn't belong to any regular department. Which department are you planning to join?"

The departments at Shanghai Pearl Academy are divided according to the conventional magic departments, such as fire, light, wind, and plant. The unique holy magic department does not have a corresponding department.

"Is that even a question? It's definitely the fire element. The holy element incorporates fire attributes, so the fire element department is the most suitable." Dongfang Linlin chimed in.

Then, with a hint of regret in his voice, he added, "It's a pity my family insisted that I major in spatial engineering, otherwise I could have been in the same department as Brother Yu."

Shao Peiyu smiled but didn't say anything. His gaze inadvertently swept over the back of the group, and upon seeing that, his brows furrowed instantly.

Mu Nujiao walked silently at the back of the group, her steps unsteady, her face much paler than usual, and her usually bright eyes now carrying a hint of suppressed pain.

"What's wrong, Jiaojiao? Are you hurt?" Shao Peiyu stopped and asked.

His voice made everyone stop in their tracks, and all eyes instantly focused on Mu Nujiao.

Dongfang Linlin then realized something was wrong. Whether it was when she rushed to support Zhuang Lifeng or now on the way back, Mu Nujiao had been silently lagging behind without saying a word.

Mu Nujiao initially resisted the nickname "Jiaojiao," finding it too intimate. However, as she spent more time with the group, adventuring and growing together, she gradually accepted the nickname.

Hearing Shao Peiyu's question, Mu Nujiao gently shook her head and forced a smile: "It's nothing. I just twisted my ankle when I landed after jumping off the cliff. It's nothing serious and won't affect my walking."

She spoke casually, but Shao Peiyu shook her head: "Why didn't you say so sooner? It's not a big deal."

Without saying much, Shao Peiyu walked straight to Mu Nujiao's side, squatted down, and lifted her right foot without saying a word.

Mu Nujiao's cheeks flushed instantly. She tried to pull her foot back, but Shao Peiyu gently pressed it down.

Her ankle was red and swollen, with faint bruises visible, clearly indicating that the impact of landing was too great and she had sprained her tendons.

"You're all swollen like this, and you still say you're fine?" Shao Peiyu's tone was tinged with reproach, yet also with concern.

Without hesitation, he once again emanated richly colored stars around him, and a star trail quickly took shape.

Holy and healing!

The next second, tiny golden specks of light fell from Shao Peiyu's palm and slowly merged into Mu Nujiao's swollen ankle.

It works in a second! The redness and pain disappear instantly, even more powerful than ordinary healing magic.

This is the first level of the Holy magic, which encompasses all the effects of the first to third levels of the Healing magic.

"Wow! Brother Yu's Holy type can even heal? That's too versatile!" Dongfang Lie's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

The others also showed surprise. They only knew that Shao Peiyu's holy attack power was heaven-defying, but they did not expect his healing ability to be so powerful.

Mu Nujiao felt the comfort in her ankle, looked up at Shao Peiyu, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Yu."

"We're all teammates, no need to be so polite." Shao Peiyu withdrew his magic and stood up.

The group continued on their journey, and Shao Peiyu remained vigilant throughout.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after the group returned to Hangzhou and boarded the high-speed train back to Shanghai.

Turning to look at his teammates on this expedition, he saw members from the Mu, Bai, Zhuang, and Dongfang families – all four major families of Shanghai had been brought together!

To be honest, Shao Peiyu was under a lot of pressure bringing them out this time, especially with that little brat Bai Hongfei, who didn't even have a mid-level cultivation yet, but insisted on coming to join in the fun.

Upon returning to Shanghai, the group did not disperse immediately, but instead went to Shao Peiyu's club.

On the second floor of an international business building on the most bustling Central Avenue in Shanghai, the former luxury gym has changed its sign to "Extreme Club" in large characters. The logo features two bulls colliding with each other, one on the left and one on the right.

The main theme is seeking thrills and pushing limits!

This theme immediately gained popularity among young mages in Shanghai, and Dongfang Lie, Mu Nujiao, and others are all senior members of the club.

This is why Shao Peiyu insisted on leading a group of scions of prominent families on an adventure despite the pressure.

After all, they gave us so much!
