Starting with summoning the succubus

"Good good."

Qi Lin smiled and released the trigger, stroking the purple pistol with obvious affection. After a moment's thought, he said, "From now on, your formal name will be Wanxiang, and your nickname will be Awan, meaning that you will be able to change in countless ways and have countless forms. What do you think? A good name, right?"

The first thing the formless demonic soldier conveyed was a sense of "confusion".

then……

I'm hungry, I want to eat.

"It's not very intelligent. It's good enough that it knows to call out when it's hungry. How could it understand the meaning of its name?" Elena couldn't help but laugh.

"Follow me, and you'll eventually acquire advanced intelligence."

As Qi Lin spoke, he mentally activated the system and glanced at the system panel.

Number of demons who have signed master-servant contracts: 1

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]

Wow, that's impressive!

Don't let this seemingly silly demon soldier fool you; in terms of magical power alone, it's far stronger than Elena!

"Let's go to the weapons testing range and see what level it really is."

At this moment, Feng Shaoyuan patted Qi Lin on the shoulder and then walked towards the door.

Qi Lin and Elena followed closely behind.

Chapter 24: Steady Development, Monthly Exam Arrives!

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Shuguang Academy, Building 3, seventh floor, shooting range.

Qi Lin stood outside the line, gripping the purple magic gun with both hands, constantly pulling the trigger and firing at the various mechanical targets in front of him.

His aim was naturally terrible.

Fortunately, the Formless Demon Soldier is alive and will automatically adjust its trajectory according to its master's wishes. So, after a shooting exercise, Qi Lin managed to achieve a perfect score with all shots hitting the bullseye.

Not far away, the shooting instructor and range manager sat behind several instruments, recording the power and speed of bullets and performing data analysis on the pistol form of the Faceless Demon Soldier.

Actually, this teacher was just teaching another class. He rushed back after hearing that Qi Lin was going to test the magic soldiers.

Qi Lin now has the qualifications.

Having already become a first-tier demon envoy, he is the seventh extraordinary student in this year's Dawn Academy to step into the first-tier realm. As a top student with the potential to be admitted to an extraordinary university, the school still grants them many privileges.

"Pistol mode test complete, now switching to sword mode."

After Qi Lin fired his gun for a few minutes, the shooting instructor walked to the iron man statue on the other side.

Qi Lin followed.

He tossed the pistol, which spun a few times in mid-air before flashing with purple light and instantly transforming into a purple magic sword, which he held firmly in his hand.

"Teacher, what's the power of the pistol form?"

Qi Lin asked the shooting instructor curiously.

"I'll show you a detailed report later."

After the shooting instructor finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "Although the firing rate of your magic gun is average and the magic consumption is also very high, it is precisely because of this that the power of the magic bullets it fires is quite considerable... Hmm, I heard that you are going to have a practical exam next Friday, are you going to fight Gordon David?"

"Let me put it this way: Gordon David's aura armor is like paper in front of your magic gun. In other words, if you can hit David even once with a single bullet, you've basically won."

"Understood, thank you, teacher."

Qi Lin nodded slightly.

He is a demon wielder, and during the practical exam next Friday, he can bring all his contracted demons, including demon soldiers, onto the stage. After all, contracted demons are not external objects, but rather part of the demon wielder's own abilities.

As a Fighting Knight, David can only bring a standard greatsword onto the stage at most, and he cannot wear armor. He can only rely on his Fighting Aura Armor for defense.

Speaking of the target practice just now, Qi Lin has already figured out the ammunition capacity.

10 rounds!

In its current pistol form, the Formless Demon Soldier can only fire 10 bullets before exhausting all its magic power. To continue firing, Qi Lin must consume his own magic power, but with his current magic power strength and total amount, he cannot even fire a single bullet.

The formless demon weapon, having exhausted its magic power, can only transform into a sword form.

However, if the battle has reached the point where Qi Lin needs to wield the magic sword and fight David head-on, then he is basically not far from losing.

"See that number 6 iron man stake over there? Go up and chop it down."

The shooting instructor held a tablet computer and opened the relevant testing software.

Qi Lin stepped forward and did as instructed.

"Clang!"

He swung his sword, but it veered off course from the iron stake, only creating a shower of sparks.

"Tsk."

The shooting instructor looked disgusted: "What terrible power generation technique! You even got the most basic sword grip wrong. You'll definitely fail your swordsmanship class... Oh, sorry, I forgot, you're a demon wielder, so you don't need to take the swordsmanship test. Anyway, remember, when you go on stage, never fight David head-on, or you'll be instantly defeated. You have to use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, keep your distance and fight from a distance, understand what I mean?"

"understand!"

Qi Lin nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let's do a few more sword strikes."

The shooting instructor gestured on the tablet, "Anyway, it's just a test of weapon sharpness, it doesn't matter whether you can use a sword or not."

"Oh."

Qi Lin immediately did as instructed and continued to swing his sword.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sound of gunfire echoed continuously at the firing range...

……

……

Today is Wednesday.

Including today, there are only 9 days left until the monthly exam next Friday!

In Qi Lin's view, the next nine days would be a period of stable development.

A first-tier demon wielder can only contract a maximum of two demons. He already has Elena and the Formless Demon Soldier, so he can't summon any more demons until he advances to the second tier.

Therefore, Qi Lin, who wanted to improve his strength as much as possible before the monthly exam, could only focus on studying and leveling up.

During the day, he attended classes diligently.

Qi Lin now understands why David and his group weren't there during regular academic classes—they were indeed receiving extra tutoring.

The school has dedicated training instructors who provide one-on-one practical guidance to them.

The problem is that to qualify for this special tutoring, you need to achieve a score of 90 or above in all your academic subjects; otherwise, you have to attend regular classes, since the academic score accounts for a significant portion of the advancement exam.

In the advancement exams of the Blue Star Federation, each subject has a maximum score of 100 points.

Qi Lin is currently working hard on his academic subjects, but he's struggling with physics and chemistry...

He also attended classes diligently in the evenings.

Every day after dinner, Qi Lin would have Elena possess his body and then teach him how to use magic.

This teaching method goes even further than "hands-on instruction," because Elena is using his body to control the flow of his magic, teaching him exactly how to cast spells.

Under these circumstances, Qi Lin's magical abilities improved by leaps and bounds, and he became proficient in spells such as object manipulation, fireball, and ice spike.

Even late at night, he has things to do.

Every day in the early hours of the morning, Qi Lin would go to Ye Sen's laboratory to grind monsters and gain experience.

He discovered that the queen's reproductive capacity seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and these days she could only produce 800-900 eggs per day.

Ye Sen stated that the queen had been like this for a long time. In fact, figuring out why the queen's reproductive ability was gradually weakening was one of his research projects.

Qi Lin was very frustrated.

Because the queen insect refused to reproduce, his happy life could not be maintained.

Over these nine days, he could only kill an average of five or six hundred insects per day, which meant he could only gain five or six hundred experience points per day.

Finally, on the day before the monthly exam, Qi Lin gained a total of more than 5,000 experience points, leveled up 6 times, and gained 6 attribute points.

He allocated the 6 attribute points equally between mental strength and magical strength.

[Spirit: Tier 1, 0 stars → Tier 1, 3 stars]

[Magic Power: Tier 0, 9 stars → Tier 1, 2 stars]

And the experience bar has changed to...
