Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Karl stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the VIP box, looking down at the arena, his hands in the pockets of his casual suit jacket.

Sitting next to him, Lin Ou was operating a laptop connected to a bunch of instruments. The screen was repeatedly replaying the scene from the battle when Nangong Qiuyue's metal straight sword absorbed the fire energy of the Sun Wheel Clan.

“Okay, no problem,” Lin Ou said. “The data samples have been collected almost completely.”

......

"In this match, the human race's Nangong Qiuyue has emerged victorious!"

The host then announced the outcome of the duel.

Upon hearing the result, Nangong Qiuyue slowly exhaled, looked down at the "Moon Song" in her hand, and her expression became complicated.

Several medical personnel rushed onto the field with a stretcher and carried away the fallen Sun Wheel Clan warrior.

"She performed very well." Gao Shenxue looked down at the arena and said softly, "She used gene weapons so skillfully on her first try."

Ye Ge: "...That's right, there are idiot-proof AI reminders throughout, if she can't even use this, she'll really be a fool."

Gao Shenxue nodded: "However, the secret of the weapon should have been discovered by those people by now."

Ye Ge's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile: "Then, it's about time to get down to business."

......

in the audience.

Nangong Ru nodded in satisfaction when she saw her younger sister win the match.

"Your sister did quite well," Leng Yuening's voice suddenly rang out. "She actually defeated that opponent from the Sun Wheel Clan, who was of a higher level."

Nangong Ru was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Leng Yuening and her apprentice Xiao Yuxi.

"Leng Yue Ning?" Nangong Ru said, "It's truly rare that you would actually come down from seclusion to attend the Myriad Races Summit... Hmm? You... you're not wearing a veil?"

Nangong Ru was very surprised.

This was the first time she had seen Leng Yuening without her veil!

Leng Yuening blushed slightly, but she put on a nonchalant and calm expression: "It was a bit hot, so I took it off."

Nangong Ru was still staring at her in a daze, seemingly completely surprised that Leng Yuening's face under the veil looked like this: "Your face is just too..."

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

"I...I have something else to do."

Afraid that Nangong Ru would utter another comment that would make her extremely embarrassed, Leng Yuning quickly turned around and left with Xiao Yuxi, saying, "Xi'er, let's go." She then quickly walked away.

Xiao Yuxi could only quickly bow to Nangong Ru: "I'm sorry, Senior Nangong, see you next time." Then she quickly followed her master's footsteps.

Nangong Ru stared at her retreating figure, her face full of doubt: "Strange..."

......

"In this match, Fang Hao, a warrior from the Night Clan of the Human Race, has emerged victorious!"

"This match will be won by Lin Jianxiu, a warrior from the Night Clan of the human race!"

"This match will be won by Nord, a human warrior from the Night Clan!"

"..."

In the following resource competitions, the human race emerged victorious in every single one.

The audience of all races in the arena gasped in disbelief.

Before this summit of all races began, they never imagined it would end like this.

"When did the strength of human superhumans become so great?"

"Rather than saying that the human race has become stronger, I think it's entirely because the Night Clan's warriors are too overpowered..."

"Yes, they almost always beat opponents of a higher level."

"Since Lord Yege took control of the Ye family, the strength of the human race has changed in a way that's truly incomprehensible..."

"..."

The Demon Lord of the Underworld narrowed his eyes, his long, smoky black robe fluttering in the wind. His gray-black, cloudy but experienced eyes scrutinized the human race's private room.

Queen Verona of the Western Dragon Clan, shrouded in a hooded robe, was growing impatient: "When are you finally going to kill him? You're usually so efficient, why are you dragging your feet this time?"

The Soul of the Underworld said, "In the recent matches, the weapons displayed by the Night Clan are quite unusual. Those weapons seem to have the ability to enable human warriors to fight beyond their level. I am still sending people to investigate."

"Investigate! Investigate!" Verona exclaimed angrily, "You men are all the same, worrying about this and that! Killing a mid-level superhuman doesn't require so much investigation!!"

"Even if their weapons and equipment are faulty, allowing them to fight enemies of higher levels, they can only cross one major level at most!"

"He's just a human at the peak of the Asura Realm. Why don't you send a few more Saint Realm demon warriors to fight him? If that doesn't work, have a Soul Emperor Realm expert personally take action. Do you think he can resist?"

The Soul of the Underworld said in a deep voice, "More than half a year ago, the information I received indicated that this kid was clearly only a Transcendent Realm cultivator at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. But in such a short time, he has already broken through to the Asura Realm, and then after some time, he actually reached the ninth stage of the Asura Realm... This kid is definitely hiding many great secrets..."

Verona was even angrier: "It's because of people like you who always overthink things! If you had just been more direct when you first suspected him, and sent a Soul Emperor level expert to kill him, none of this would have happened!!"

"..."

The ghost couldn't refute that statement.

However, this statement is purely hindsight!

If only I had known then what I knew then? There's no such thing as "if only I had known then what I knew then!"

The world is so vast, with countless extraordinary beings possessing talent and potential! If he were to personally eliminate each and every one of them, then this Demon Lord would have nothing to do!

As the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan, he faces countless enemies every day, not only from outside the Demon Clan but also from within it...

"In short, not now, at least not now," said the Ghost Soul. "You've seen what happened to the Flame Clan. It's the Ten Thousand Races Summit right now. If we get caught red-handed, the consequences will be more than you and I can bear."

"Then we just need to avoid giving anyone any leverage or evidence against us, right?" Verona's eyes turned cold: "You're a demon, don't you understand this?"
