Chapter 285: Situation

Wen Ying was still fearful that the devil monarch and those influential demons would discover something, but it turned out he had overthought it. Even if someone did suspect his angelic heritage, they would only compare it to a powerful demonic bloodline, never imagining the possibility he was worried about.

What everyone cared about more was how his power could still grow so rapidly even after reaching adulthood. Compared to when Wen Ying first arrived at the Lucifer Demon Academy, there was a significant difference, which everyone could see with their own eyes.

Wen Ying explained that his body had just transformed into a demon, and his power had been gradually increasing. He instinctively felt that his body couldn't withstand a sudden burst of strength.

A reasonable explanation, and everyone seemed to accept it on the surface.

While they accepted it, their dreams of overpowering the arrogant Wen Ying after reaching adulthood were shattered, causing an atmosphere of extreme depression.

Wen Ying displayed an innocent smile, "You can continue cultivating after you've reached adulthood."

Muershi had initially planned to do so, but hearing Wen Ying say it made his heart skip a beat, feeling as though everything was over.

He looked at Wen Ying in distress, scratching his hair, repeatedly telling himself in his mind that what he was thinking was impossible.

Beros was probably the only demon student who was happy. Those devils who approached him could sense that Beros' aura was less oppressive and slightly softer.

"Wen Ying asked Bellos, 'I'm going to deliver some of my blank cards to the clan of demons. Do you want to come along?'"

Bellos replied, "Mm."

The Hellhound Clan Chief watched his son leave with the Mirror Demon without uttering a single word to him, a twitch forming on the corner of his mouth.

Regardless of what others might think, he knew his son's character well – this was clearly a sign of deep affection.

He muttered to himself, "Truly unbelievable..."

The Devil King walked to the side of the leader of the Birds of Extreme Evil and whispered, "How are the Mirror Demons doing?"

Yan Yujing replied, "They're thriving. I've contributed quite a sum too."

The Devil King: "..."

Yan Yujing chuckled teasingly. "Their overall strength as a clan hasn't changed. They've just hired some fairly powerful demons as bodyguards."

Hearing that the clan hadn't become stronger as a whole, the Devil King felt even more at ease, though the peculiar tastes of the Birds of Extreme Evil did add a slight sour note.

After spending the weekend in the Demon Realm, the demons returned to the human world.

The curious onlookers were as restless as field mice, eagerly awaiting the outcome of the events.

The extremist faction within the Church had access to insider information and learned about the results earlier than others. Their upper echelons wore grim expressions upon receiving the news.

An angel suddenly issued a divine revelation, prompting the Pope to hastily dismiss everyone else and head alone to the temple chamber where communication with angels was possible.

Upon hearing the message conveyed by Angel Wu Mixiu, the Pope's face lit up with joy. He beamed and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Esteemed Angel!"

As the spectators indulged in the gossip surrounding the contest between the Demon Mirror and the adult Scarlet Crow, they also stumbled upon a chilling piece of news that sent shivers down their spines.
