Second Battle of Demon City

Mingzhu University, Qingdou Hall.

Cheng Xiaoyu stood within the Shadow students' area, hands on the railing, lazily watching the arena below and sighing.

He had originally thought obtaining the other two materials in Demon City would be smooth sailing. After conquering three more areas and defeating the BOSSes, the materials didn't drop. The remaining areas were displayed as having insufficient levels, so he had to leave for now.

As expected, such rare materials were indeed difficult to acquire. The road to saving his Mom was long and arduous!

However, it wasn't without gains. He obtained some items after defeating the BOSSes, similar to equipment in games. Once worn, they wouldn't be visible but would increase his stats, and the effects they provided were quite impressive.

The most important item dropped by that Giant Demon was called the Greed Orb. Carrying it could double the power of magic.

But it wasn't very useful for him right now. After all, neither of his two elements were powerful destructive magic. If he could awaken the lightning or fire element at a higher level, that would be another story...

"Are you... Brother Xiaoyu?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice called out. Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head and saw two of his sister's classmates, Mu Nujiao and Aitutu.

The two girls were wearing Mingzhu University uniforms. Their exquisite faces and perfectly curved figures were as if sculpted.

Beneath their pleated skirts were a pair of snow-white, slender legs, covered by black thigh-high stockings that perfectly accentuated their leg shape.

The other pair wore calf-high socks, covering their delicate calves and revealing their rounded, smooth thighs.

The sound of their small leather shoes tapping was constantly stirring the hearts of men.

"So it's you two. Welcome to Mingzhu University... Oh right, wasn't there also Tingting?"

"Mhm, she joined the Healing Element. It's a shame Xinxia didn't come to Mingzhu University with us. I wonder how she's doing at Zhejiang Academy."

"Don't worry, I pulled some strings. Xinxia can take care of herself."

The teacher had personally made a call, and the dean of Zhejiang Academy had made arrangements for Ye Xinxia. Her roommates were all kind and reliable girls, so she would definitely be taken care of in daily life.

Besides, after using the Repair Potion for three years, her legs were almost healed. She would likely be able to ditch the wheelchair completely next year.

"That's great!"

Aitutu clapped her hands happily. Mu Nujiao also breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Cheng Xiaoyu must have asked President Xiao for a favor. Then she asked, "Brother Xiaoyu, are you participating in the Beast Fighting Competition today?"

"Heh heh, I'm already a student at the Main Campus. I'm just here to join the fun today."

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head. The main reason was that he learned from President Xiao that there was a naturally dual-element genius among the freshmen this year. That's when he knew it was Mo Fan, so he came to see how far this guy had cultivated.

He wondered if he could keep up with the progress by choosing to spend a year to mature before going to university, cultivating four elements simultaneously at the intermediate level, and having no powerful backing.

If President Xiao hadn't said it himself, Cheng Xiaoyu wouldn't have believed that a person could have four elements at the intermediate level. However, since strange things had happened to him, he wasn't too surprised anymore...

After watching the entire Beast Fighting Competition, Cheng Xiaoyu was puzzled about how Mo Fan cultivated. He must have had some fortunate encounters as well.

After comforting Mu Nujiao, who had failed as their last hope, he left Qingdou Hall and returned home.

Looking at the desolate apartment, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh. He planned to visit his sister in Hangcheng during the holidays and then fully immerse himself in meditation.

"Brother Xiaoyu, hurry! There's a job!"

Following Leng Lingling's location, Cheng Xiaoyu arrived on the rooftop of a building in a residential area. Seeing the young girl sitting on the edge, swinging her white-stockinged legs, he impatiently pulled her down.

"Sigh, my train ticket is for tomorrow, and you really know how to order people around."

"Hmph, I don't care. Who told you not to take me with you last few times."

"Aren't you going to school anymore?"

Leng Lingling attacked Cheng Xiaoyu with her twin ponytails before explaining what happened today.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu nodded, roughly understanding the reason.

"This is bad, that woman is starting to shed her skin, Brother Xiaoyu!"

"I know."

Without any hesitation, he jumped directly from the rooftop and merged into the darkness.

Arriving at the garden, he immediately saw a humanoid monster.

A woman covered in green scales, her form bizarre, with extremely sharp claws, a mouth that opened several times larger than a normal person's, sharp teeth, and a long tongue that reached her neck. Her pupils flickered with a scarlet light.

The Scale-skinned Mother Demon saw the human appear and revealed a greedy smile, as if she had discovered a delicious prey.

[Skill: Killing Intent]

Cheng Xiaoyu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with icy intent. A dense killing intent surged towards the Scale-skinned Mother Demon.

Instantly, the Scale-skinned Mother Demon's body trembled. She stared at Cheng Xiaoyu with a look of terror. She couldn't believe she would fear a human, as if a terrifying existence stood before her!

The next second, the human disappeared from his spot. She felt pain all over her body and let out a miserable scream.

The scream abruptly stopped. Knife marks appeared all over the Scale-skinned Mother Demon's body, scales falling off like peeling skin. Then, a naked woman covered in sticky fluid appeared, collapsing weakly on the lawn.

Afterward, a blue firefly light spot slowly floated out of the corpse and obediently floated into Cheng Xiaoyu's palm.

A Commander Level spirit. My luck seems to be quite good today...

He then threw the spirit into the shadow on the ground. Items like residual spirits could be fed to the Shadow Legion. Besides taking them to hunt demons, this was probably the fastest way to increase their power.

Leng Lingling's voice came through the headset, her tone extremely anxious.

"Brother Xiao Yu, the man in the bedroom was about to shed his skin, but now he seems to have suddenly fainted again."

"It's fine, I've killed that female demon. This couple should both be parasitized. With that, the commission is considered complete."

Cheng Xiaoyu took a blanket from his spatial ring, wrapped it around the woman's naked body, and carried her away from the place.

After taking his share of the money, he didn't linger in Modu and headed directly for Hangcheng.

Although he had his teacher's instructions, life outside of school was not allowed. Cheng Xiaoyu knew that Tang Yue and Leng Qing were both working in Hangcheng, so he asked the two women to take care of him when they had free time.

Sigh, little sister, your older brother has sacrificed a lot for you. These favors are hard to repay...

When the winter break arrived, Cheng Xiaoyu picked up Ye Xinxia again, and the siblings spent the New Year together.

Coincidentally, after the mandatory dormitory period of the first semester ended, Mu Nujiao and Aitutu rented an apartment next door, and Bai Tingting also moved in with them.

This way, Ye Xinxia wouldn't lack playmates, which made Cheng Xiaoyu somewhat relieved. They were indeed good classmates.

They are indeed good classmates! They actually found a way to live next door to my house. It's fine when I'm at home, but when I go to school, won't my brother be left alone at home!

Ye Xinxia appeared happy on the surface, but inwardly she was already feeling uneasy.

Damn it, I'm truly an incompetent sister...
