It said earlier that it was different this time because she still had her magic and dou qi. That’s why she was so surprised that his aura affected her so much.

@Keymonster What surprise were you talking about? Since she was on the tavern, she already said she could easily crush the group of devil soldiers who brought her to QJ. It means, she already has some power to do it unscathed at that time. In addition, all along the way from the gate to this Guiwang City, she can sense all the powerful devils' presence with her perception skill. Her devil blood was awaken when she'd arrived at Sky City. Qi Xia and co.'s travel back and front to Sky City only spent one month, and they spent ten days of it for the test. Even though we ignore the time they spent to reach Last Temple and the time SYX spent to reach underworld gate, she only have 20 days to train her devil blood. Even though we assume she (somehow) can level up as a devil while she's in Sky City and she might somehow got a guidance to train her devil power or she is oh-so-genius she can train her devil power and developed her own devil cultivation methods (unlikely, but I won't dismiss the probability because how strong SYX's protagonist halo has always been), she only has been lived as devil for a month. Or maybe her devil power was level up while she passed the gate. Who knows? 🤷‍♀️ At that point, it can only mean her devil cultivation talent/methods is more heaven-defying than all her own cultivation talent as other races combined. Or, she retain her power as the other races which was confirmed in last chapter. And her surprise was more because she didn't expect the gap between her current power and a devil general power would be so big compared to because she found out she still has her human cultivation.
