Starting with summoning the succubus

"A first-tier demonic soldier only possesses low-level intelligence; what's the point of greeting him?"

Catherine took the magic spear and examined it from both sides. "It's too weak. The magic power is passable, but the body is too fragile. It can't be my weapon. By the way, can this formless magic weapon turn into a sword?"

"Om-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic spear flashed with purple light and quickly transformed into a purple longsword.

"Yes, it can change."

Catherine held the magic sword and waved it lightly. "But it's weak, that's still weak. This magic weapon seems to be only level one, right? It's not enough for me."

"And what happens after advancing to the second tier?"

Qi Lin stared at the demonic sword in her hand, stroking his chin in thought. "I remember, if a demonic weapon wants to advance to the second tier, its three attributes—[Sharpness], [Defense], and [Magic Power]—must all be upgraded to the first tier, 9 stars. Then it also needs to consume a set of advancement materials, which cost over 100,000."

“But we really need a suitable weapon,” Catherine emphasized only this one sentence.

"really."

Qi Lin nodded slightly.

Having weapons makes a world of difference in combat power compared to not having them.

If he could advance the Formless Demonic Weapon to the second tier, his combat ability would definitely experience a qualitative leap!

Chapter 119 Adding Points to the Demon Soldier

What is Qi Lin's current combat strength?

If we only consider his own abilities, then he is merely a newly initiated second-tier superhuman.

But his extraordinary sequence is [Demon Envoy].

He can be possessed by demons!

Catherine possesses [Strength: Tier 2, 9 stars], [Agility: Tier 2, 3 stars], and [Defense: Tier 2, 5 stars].

If Catherine were to possess him with a demonic possession, he would immediately transform into an extremely powerful melee fighter.

Elena possesses [Spirit: Tier 2, 7 stars] and [Magic: Tier 2, 8 stars].

If Elena were to possess him with a demonic possession, he would immediately transform into a powerful long-range turret with incredible magical abilities.

Although only one demon can possess a body at a time, Qi Lin can adapt to the situation and choose different possession options based on the actual combat needs.

When close-quarters combat is needed, have Catherine possess him, granting him peak second-tier close-combat abilities.

When a long-range kite is needed, let Elena possess him, granting him peak second-tier magical abilities.

Yes, the pinnacle.

Given the condition of these two succubi, once they possess him, Qi Lin's combat power can soar to the peak of the second tier.

Therefore, if Qi Lin wants to use the fewest attribute points to achieve the greatest increase in combat power, he should not use the attribute points to improve himself, but to improve the magic weapon, so that it can be promoted to the second tier and become a qualified weapon!

After all, having weapons makes a world of difference in combat power compared to not having them.

As for directly buying a second-tier weapon?

That would be expensive. If you think about it, it's cheaper to upgrade the Formless Demon Weapon to the second tier. After all, it can not only turn into a sword to slash, but also into a pistol to shoot.

Even when advancing to the second tier, it has a chance to awaken a new transformation form.

Besides, Awan is a veteran comrade-in-arms with a distinguished record, so this is a reward it deserves.

"Then it's decided!"

Qi Lin glanced at the magic sword in Catherine's hand and chuckled, "Next, we'll help Awan advance to the second tier!"

How do I get promoted?

Catherine looked at the magic sword in her hand with some doubt, and flicked the blade lightly with her finger. "It's so soft. It's still far from meeting the standards for advancement."

"hard!"

At this moment, the demon sword vibrated slightly and emitted a childlike, yet gender-indistinguishable, Federation language.

It actually started learning to speak a while ago, but due to its low intelligence, it can only utter some simple syllables at most.

Moreover, it doesn't like to talk much and is mostly silent, only making a sound when necessary.

For example, when Elena teased it with gasoline, and only gave it a drink if it called her "sister".

For example, when Catherine says it's soft now.

"I guess Awan is a man."

Elena, standing nearby, said seriously, "Only men would react so strongly to 'hard' and 'soft,' just like Qi Lin."

"Don't demon soldiers come in genders?" Catherine asked hesitantly.

"That's not important."

Qi Lin took the magic sword from Catherine's hand, looked down at it, and chuckled, "The important thing is, Awan, you'll be advancing to the second tier soon, I mean it!"

"Om-"

The demonic sword trembled slightly, its purple light flashing.

"Follow me, and you'll evolve into advanced intelligence sooner or later!" Qi Lin continued to make grand promises.

"Om!!"

The magic sword vibrated even more intensely, its purple light blinding.

……

……

The day's classes passed quickly.

After school in the afternoon, Qi Lin took Elena and Catherine back to the Rose House themed suite at the [Love Honey] Hotel.

He was originally planning to take a taxi back.

However, after school, Song Junda and Louisa said they wanted to see what the hotel they were staying at looked like.

Since they were all friends, Qi Lin had no reason to refuse such a small request, so he rode back to the hotel in Louisa's car.

However, upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Louisa's face flushed crimson as she looked at the entrance of this lovers' hotel. She quickly got into the car and drove off without even going to her room. Song Junda also left with a subtle expression...

It's inexplicable, isn't it?

Anyway,

As soon as Elena came back, she ran to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and played games on her phone, looking like a hopeless good-for-nothing.

The main point is that Catherine seems to have been influenced by her as well. She actually created a game account on the new phone that Qi Lin bought for her and teamed up with Elena to play a two-dimensional open-world mobile game.

Qi Lin hopes this game can only be played in duos.

Otherwise, he truly felt sorry for his two incompetent teammates...

"Buzz!"

It was 18:07 in the evening.

Qi Lin sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding the demon sword that the formless demon weapon had transformed into. He carefully wiped it with a white towel, and the demon sword was also vibrating slightly, flashing with purple light.

He's going to start allocating points to the demon soldiers.

First, open the system panel and take a look...

-

Experience points: 3448/4300

Remaining attribute points: 14

-

Name: Wan Xiang

Age: 2

[Life Level: Tier 1]

[Race: Demon Soldier]

[Sharpness: Tier 1, 3 stars]

[Defense: Tier 1, 2 stars]

[Spirit: Tier 0, Star 0]

[Magic Power: Tier 1, 9 Stars]

[Currently available forms: Longsword, Pistol]

It is worth mentioning that "spirit" is not entirely equivalent to "intelligence".

On the contrary, excessive mental power can seriously hinder the evolution of advanced intelligence in demonic soldiers.

The explanation Qi Lin saw in the textbook was as follows:

"Imagine there is a patch of soil here, and underneath the soil is a seed."

If the seed has already germinated and the seedling has broken through the soil surface and begun to bask in the sunlight and grow vigorously, then the thick soil can certainly provide it with good nutrition, allowing it to grow even more rapidly.

But what if the seed hasn't sprouted yet and is still underground?

Soil that is too thick, or even as hard as iron, will hinder the growth of seeds, squeezing and pressing them, making it difficult for them to germinate, and even if they do germinate, they will have difficulty breaking through the soil surface.

The relationship between mental strength and wisdom is similar to this.

Spiritual strength is like soil.

Seeds buried in the soil are like primitive intelligence.

Seedlings emerging from the soil surface are like advanced intelligence.

This analogy isn't entirely accurate, but it should be easy for students your age to understand. You'll naturally learn the full relevant knowledge when you get to university.

In summary,

If a living being already possesses advanced intelligence, then powerful mental strength can make that living being even smarter.
