Chapter 284 – Victory

Chapter 284 - Victory

Wu Shaluo, who was initially the object of envy, gradually transformed into an unlucky figure in everyone's minds after the challenge began.

Indeed, he was unlucky. He had thought his revenge would be glorious, but instead, he became the "scapegoat" that everyone shot at. Without Wu Shaluo's "bold move," no one would have known that even as adults, they were still no match for Wen Ying, the demonic mirror devil.

Losing wasn't a big deal for these young devils, but losing face certainly was. For instance, Wu Shaluo, the enthusiastic and unfortunate one, would now be remembered for a long time whenever anyone recalled this competition.

Although many others might also have lost if they had fought, none of them had been exposed. Wu Shaluo, on the other hand, was defeated right before everyone's eyes, turning from a proud figure to a humiliated and dazed one.

Wu Shaluo was well aware of this, which made him even more frenzied inside.

The old devil referee, observing the situation, deemed it almost over. He flew onto the platform and declared, "Wen Ying wins."

Lan Jiaying stared intently at Wen Ying on the stage, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

What on earth had happened?!!

Wu Fei was in the midst of his thoughts when he suddenly felt a demonic glare that sent shivers down his spine. He turned his head and saw Lan Jiaying staring at him with a dark expression, his black eyes as deep as an abyss, causing Wu Fei's limbs to go numb.

From Lan Jiaying's unfriendly gaze, Wu Fei could read a single message – how could you be so useless?

Wu Fei slowly withdrew his gaze, pretending to be a meek quail. It was normal for hybrids to be less powerful, it was Wen Ying who was the outlier.

After the old demon referee announced the result, Wen Ying dispelled his magic. Wu Shaluo sat cross-legged on the platform, looking at Wen Ying with a complicated expression that seemed to be a mix of too many emotions, leaving his gaze somewhat hollow.

In contrast to Wu Shaluo's frustration, Wen Ying felt utterly relaxed. He stepped down from the platform lightly. Perseus approached, and other demons who had intended to approach Wen Ying hesitated and stopped when they saw Perseus coming.

Perseus' aura and appearance were enough to deter ordinary demon students, but not the Great Demons or some students from Class One.

"I'm handsome, right?" Wen Ying flashed a smug and proud smile at Perseus.

Perseus nodded, his eyes shining brightly.

Scarlet approached with a menacing aura, examining Wen Ying as if he were a creature from another world. "Is it angelic bloodline?"

Compared to Wu Fei, the strength of an angelic bloodline surpassed even their so-called top-ranking Black Dragon Clan among the demon race.

Wen Ying: "I lean more towards potion transformation. After thousands of years, how much has the angelic bloodline been diluted in me?"

Potions! Everyone's eyes lit up as they turned to Aruda.

There was precedent for this. They had indeed obtained some physique-enhancing potions and various other potions from Aruda before.

Aruda faced the hopeful gazes of the young ones with his usual amiable smile. Something seemed to cross everyone's minds, causing their eager expressions to fade slightly.

The Hellhound Clan Chief asked curiously, "Aruda, have your potion studies advanced to such an impressive level?"

Everyone perked up their ears, listening attentively.

Wen Ying looked at Aruda, his expression unchanged, but inwardly, he was a little nervous.

He noticed Aruda glance at him before quickly averting his gaze.

"There has been some progress. Wen Ying's physical potential is greater than most demons, and he can endure more."

Many demons felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

"Those methods have been applied to quite a number of demons before. Lesser doses prove ineffective, while larger ones render them useless," Aruda surveyed the crowd. "As you've witnessed with Wen Ying, these are the magical potions I've developed. Are there any young demons willing to give it a shot?"

Seemingly oblivious to the horrified expressions on the young demons around him, he continued with a cheerful tone, "I want to test if Wen Ying's success is solely due to his angelic heritage. Previously, high doses were only experimented on the extremist faction, resulting in many deaths without success. But now, with my experience, no demon will perish."

The words he spoke were unsettling, not only to the demon students but also to many teachers and clan leaders.

Silence enveloped the entire hall.

Beros stepped forward, his voice steady and cold, "I'll give it a try..."

The three-headed hellhound clan leader's eyelids twitched, promptly interjecting with a jovial tone, "Looks like angelic bloodline is quite something. If those humans from thousands of years ago knew we acquired their angelic warriors' bloodline, their reactions would be amusing."

He had witnessed Aruda's experiments firsthand, and even he felt a chill down his spine.
