The students were utterly exhausted, sleeping for an entire day and night before coming back to life... but that's understandable since they're still kids.

Duanmu Huai didn't care; the fact remained that neither Angels nor Demons were trustworthy. Humans must hold their destiny in their own hands.
"Brave Lord."
