At night, Lin Chen returned to his apartment, comfortably lay on the sofa, and casually picked up a bag of snacks from the table, opened it, and started eating.

Since Lin Chen started sharing an apartment with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, he has noticed that there has never been a shortage of snacks and fruits in the house; they were all bought by the two of them.

"The Great Demon..." The voice came from the room before Ai Tutu even appeared.

Immediately afterward, Ai Tutu ran out of the room wearing cartoon pajamas: "Wow, you secretly ate my snacks again! That's so mean! I don't have much pocket money left!"

"Isn't that unnecessary? To prevent me from sneaking food, you actually installed surveillance cameras in the lobby!" Lin Chen looked around carefully, observing which corners were suitable for hiding cameras.

"Pah, who wants to spy on you!" Ai Tutu spat.

"Then how did you know I ate your food while I was in the room?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You interrupted me. That's not what I wanted to talk about." Ai Tutu scratched her head, then looked at Lin Chen with the eyes of someone looking at a monster: "Big devil, what did you eat to grow up like this? How can you be so powerful? You've caused another big scandal."

"Are you praising me or insulting me?" Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Ai Tutu, then thought for a moment, "I haven't done anything out of line lately, have I?"

"You didn't do anything outrageous, but you got directly admitted to the main campus. That's even more explosive than doing something outrageous." Mu Nujiao came out of the room at this moment, still holding her phone. "My family just asked me about you, to see if it's possible to recruit you into our Mu family."

"Hehe." Lin Chen didn't directly answer Mu Nujiao's question, but instead asked, "How did you all know I got direct admission to the main campus?"

"The school posted it on their official website. You know, in all these years, you're the only one who's been promoted directly to the main campus in your first semester. Plus, with the commotion you caused at the beginning of the semester, I bet every slightly well-known family in Shanghai wants to recruit you," Mu Nujiao explained, then continued, "Do you currently have any favorite factions in mind?"

"No, but I have plans for the future, and your Mu family is my first choice." Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Lin Chen had no choice but to make a verbal promise first.

"You said it yourself," Mu Nujiao smiled slightly.

Ai Tutu glanced back and forth between Mu Nujiao and Lin Chen a few times before immediately saying, "Sister Mu, why don't you just marry the Great Demon and have him live with you?"

"You're so talkative!" Mu Nujiao blushed slightly and slapped Ai Tutu on the head.

"It would be more like me marrying her, but marrying into her family? No way."

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he was met with a slap from Mu Nujiao.

"By the way, you big devil, why were you able to go straight to the main campus?" Ai Tutu patted her head, blaming herself for only now remembering the question she most wanted to know.

"You didn't tell him?" Lin Chen glanced at Mu Nujiao.

"No, I was afraid that Rabbit would have a big mouth and spread it everywhere, but it seems there's nothing to hide now," Mu Nujiao replied.

"I knew there was something going on between you two." Ai Tutu glanced at Lin Chen and Mu Nujiao a few times, looking a little aggrieved: "You even had a little secret you didn't tell me, and Sister Mu even hit me."

"Okay, I've told you."

Upon hearing this, Ai Tutu beamed with joy.

"Lin Chen has two commander-level summoned beasts."

"Oh, so there are two Commander-level summoned beasts." Ai Tutu first looked enlightened, then suddenly gasped in surprise, holding up two fingers and looking at Lin Chen in disbelief: "Two?! Commander-level?!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly and nodded.

"No wonder you were able to go straight to the main campus, you big devil! You actually have two commander-level summoned beasts. Even the outstanding graduates of those Pearl Academy probably weren't as strong as you are now when they graduated!" Ai Tutu was extremely surprised, and then she thought of something: "From now on, you will be my personal bodyguard. You can help me chase away those flies."

"No problem! Fifty thousand each time." Lin Chen didn't hesitate at all.

"You've eaten so many of my snacks!"

"I'll give you a 20% discount, that's the lowest I can offer!"

"I'll help you with grazing..."

Before Ai Tutu could even speak, Mu Nujiao covered her mouth and forcibly dragged her back to her room.

……

Two days later, the Academic Affairs Office helped Lin Chen complete the procedures for direct admission to the main campus, and Lin Chen then followed Jiang Yunming, the head of the Summoning Department, to the Summoning Department on the main campus.

On the way to the Summoning Department, Department Head Jiang Yunming gave Lin Chen a brief introduction to the Summoning Department.

Because every summoning mage has their own summoned beast or contracted beast, the summoning department of Pearl Academy is also known as the Beast Academy.

There weren't many people in the entire Beast Academy; even with Lin Chen included, it was only enough to form a football team.

After all, very few people can awaken the Summoning system in the first system, and even fewer can afford to raise it. In addition, the students who can enter the main campus of Pearl Academy have all reached the middle level. After awakening their desired second system, they all decisively chose another system.

However, this does not mean that the Beast Academy on the main campus is weak. On the contrary, few students from other departments on the main campus would provoke students from the Beast Academy.

It should be noted that most of the students still remaining in the Beast Academy possess a summoned beast or contracted beast with the strength of a warrior general, and some, like Lin Chen, even have several warrior general-level beasts.

Department Head Jiang Yunming took Lin Chen to the Beast Academy today, which was a good time, as it was the day the Beast Academy's test rankings were announced.

The purpose of this test is simple: to allocate resources. Since the Beast Academy has a small number of participants, the test rankings will be announced on the same day as the challenge period. The rankings will be announced after all the challenges are completed.

Meanwhile, the students from the main campus had already completed the ranking challenge and were waiting for the arrival of the department head, Jiang Yunming.

"Director Jiang, you can announce the rankings now."

When Lin Chen and Department Head Jiang Yunming arrived at the training ground dedicated to the Summoning Department, a muscular man with shiny slicked-back hair stepped out from the crowd. This man was none other than Zhang Tianyi, currently ranked number one in the Beast Academy.

"There's no rush. This is Lin Chen, a new student from our Beast Academy. Let's announce the rankings after he finishes his challenge," said Department Head Jiang Yunming.

"He's the genius who single-handedly defeated the entire school and went straight to the main campus, right?" Zhang Tianyi said. "I know him. I've seen the recordings of his previous battles. His three summoned beasts at the Lesser Warrior level are quite powerful."

Seeing that the person opposite him recognized him and was praising him, Lin Chen was about to say something modest when Zhang Tianyi changed the subject and continued speaking.

"But which student in the Beast Academy doesn't have the strength of a War General? He just arrived, so let's start ranking from the last one."
