Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons

……

That evening at seven o'clock, Mu Nujiao and Zhou Sining arranged to meet at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Academy.

"I checked, the bloodline of the Sand Hellfire Tiger is worth 15 million on the market, so I applied for a little more for you." Mu Nujiao handed the diamond card to Zhou Sining.

Diamond Card is a special bank card produced by Hunter Alliance, similar to a check.

No password required, no identity verification, no questions asked; the money can be withdrawn directly from the Hunter's Alliance or the Magic Association, making it particularly suitable for special transactions.

Zhou Sining said with genuine gratitude, "Thank you, I'll give you an IOU."

Mu Nujiao didn't stand on ceremony and readily accepted the IOU.

Having received the money, Zhou Sining didn't hesitate and went directly to the Hunter Alliance in the capital to purchase the warrior's blood of the Sand Hellfire Tiger.

Just as Mu Nujiao said, the cheapest one was 15 million. It was expensive, but he couldn't wait any longer.

In fact, the bloodline of the Flame Tiger is quite noble, and it does not necessarily require external resource support to advance.

However, without resources, relying solely on itself, not to mention the success rate, the direction of evolution is also random.

Since Han Ji gave him a soul, he might as well use it.

The Sand Hellfire Tiger is an evolved branch of the Fire Tiger. It can manipulate earth and fire simultaneously, making it capable of both offense and defense, and it is also quite good in melee combat. It is one of the top demons among warriors.

Zhou Sining was quite satisfied with this kind of demon.

The Flame Tiger's body has been honed to a certain degree in battle, giving it a greater than 30% chance of survival.

The Soul of a Warrior can increase the chances by 20%.

The bloodline of a warrior can increase one's strength by about 30%.

In addition, the various resources and magical energy he had previously fed him would add another 10%.

All things considered, it's practically a done deal for the Flame Tiger to be promoted.

……

……

The Imperial Capital Academy has some closed training grounds, and Zhou Sining spent some money to rent one that was absolutely undisturbed.

In the empty training field, only Zhou Sining was present. One by one, moon-white stars appeared and arranged, forming a unique orbit.

The orbit disappeared, and a turbulent spacetime portal appeared. Soon after, a muscular and robust body appeared before Zhou Sining.

"Roar~~" The Flame Tiger roared, and compared to its usual domineering and arrogant aura, it was more solemn and dignified at this moment.

It seems that it also knows that today is an extremely important day for it.

"I've checked. Your clan's bloodline, along with these souls and bloodlines, are all branches of your clan and don't conflict with each other. Your chances of advancement are practically 100%." ​​Zhou Sining stroked the tiger's head that was lying in front of him.

The Flame Demon Tiger was actually no different from the tigers he remembered, except that it was bigger, stronger, and more brightly colored.

"Roar~" The Flame Demon Tiger couldn't help but rub against Zhou Sining's body.

"It's alright. Your clan's bloodline is already quite powerful. The resources and magical energy I usually feed you would give you a 60% chance of advancement even without these soul bloodlines. Many summoners dare to try even with only a 30% chance, so we're not afraid." Zhou Sining smiled as he stroked the Flame Demon Tiger.

Zhou Sining couldn't find a suitable summoned beast for a long time, but he couldn't just stand by and watch his summoning system make no progress.

Anyway, to be honest, he could earn back the resources he spent on the Flame Tiger in one night, so he wouldn't lose out no matter what.

"Alright, let's cut to the chase and get started!"

"Roar~!" The Flame Tiger roared, and in an instant, it transformed back into the domineering king who looked down upon the world.

For ordinary demons, the processes of blood purification, soul shaping, and body strengthening are three very painful ones.

Especially the initial blood cleansing, which involves extracting 50% of the blood from the demon's body and then infusing it with fresh warrior blood.

This process must be handled with extreme care, as any living organism that has 50% of its blood drained at once could die instantly if not handled carefully.

But the Flame Tiger doesn't have this problem.

The Sand Hellfire Tiger is an evolutionary branch of the Fire Demon Tiger, and their bloodlines can be said to be from the same lineage.

Therefore, Zhou Sining only needed to directly infuse the warrior's bloodline into the Flame Demon Tiger's body.

"Hooray!"

As the bloodlines gradually merged, the Flame Demon Tiger could feel its power suddenly increase by a degree, and it excitedly roared.

"Next is soul shaping, a more dangerous process, but since you've already handled the bloodline well, I believe you can do it too!"

Seeing the relaxed look on the Flame Demon Tiger's face, Zhou Sining couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although theoretically the chance of promotion is 100%, who can guarantee that completely?

He sent the complete soul of the Sand Hellfire Tiger into the soul of the Fire Demon Tiger.

The original soul-shaping process requires crushing the original soul and then sending in a new soul to fuse and shape it, testing the demon's soul will.

But as mentioned before, as an evolutionary branch, the Sand Hellfire Tiger and the Fire Demon Tiger are of the same lineage. They only need to let the two souls slowly merge, and there is no need to go through such a painful process.

"Hooray!"

It was indeed a very painful experience when the warrior's soul first entered.

But soon, the Flame Demon Tiger sensed a part of the other's soul that was extremely similar to its own, and quickly pounced on it.

The pain lessened, and the fusion process proceeded normally.

Zhou Sining couldn't be of much help; the soul-shaping process had to be done by the Flame Demon Tiger itself.

Fortunately, the other party did not disappoint him.

In about five minutes, their souls were completely merged together.

What remains is strengthening the body; however, since the bloodline and soul have already been upgraded, strengthening the body seems only natural.

Zhou Sining transferred all of his summoning magic power to the Flame Tiger. As for how big or small it would evolve into, that was entirely up to the tiger itself.

The Flame Demon Tiger's golden-red eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. Sensing the rapid rise of power, it couldn't help but raise its head and roar at the silent night sky.

"Roar~!!!!!"

"Roar~!!!!!"

"Roar~!!!!!"

The roar echoed in the training room, and a beastly aura suddenly transformed into a raging storm with flames.

With each roar of the Fiery Tiger, the waves of beastly breath grew increasingly fierce, each wave higher than the last. The scorching flames lashed against them, forcing even a high-level mage like Zhou Sining to raise his arms to shield himself.

The wave of flames was already fierce, until a tall whirlwind of flames suddenly erupted in the open training ground, completely engulfing the Flame Demon Tiger.

The flames were constantly tightening and collapsing, eventually transforming into a crimson cocoon.

"Roar~!!!"

A deafening tiger's roar came from the cocoon, and in the next instant, the flames, compressed to their limit, suddenly exploded, and rings of flames surged outwards.

Along with the flames, there were also rock spikes constantly shooting up from the ground!

"It's done!"

Zhou Sining stared at the center of the flame, his eyes gleaming with joy.

Judging from its aura, it was definitely a demon at the level of a warrior general.

Once the flames had completely dissipated, Zhou Sining was finally able to see the demon clearly.

It looks roughly the same as the Flame Demon Tiger, except it's a scaled-up version!

Its shoulders alone were as tall as a two-story building, and it still had crimson fur with symmetrical, shimmering patterns.

This time, however, the pattern is no longer a single bright red. Instead, it alternates between earthy brown and bright red, still resembling flowing liquid and still containing powerful energy.

In addition, the shoulder blades, waist, abdomen, and leg joints of the Sand Hellfire Tiger were covered with a layer of rock armor arranged like a tortoise shell, making it look even more imposing.

The iconic "王" (king) character is still there, but on the white flame base, there is now an additional layer of stone-like brown patterns.

Last but not least, there's that imposing tiger face, and those golden-red tiger eyes embedded in it!

"Roar~~~"

The deep roar, like an emperor's engine, resounded throughout the training ground, causing Zhou Sining's blood to surge and his body to tremble slightly.

The Flame Demon Tiger stood there, its golden-red pupils looking down upon all living beings.
