Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Refining Evil

Han Dong left the Witch Swamp midway.
Even though the witch wanted them to stay, she had ulterior motives, aiming to accelerate the development of their relationship.
Given that Han Dong won in the competitive duel and caused the witch’s mood to sour, leaving was the best choice.
Moreover.
Han Dong estimated that he would find it hard to stomach the so-called ‘Witch’s Banquet’.
Leaving the swamp area, Han Dong was planning to return directly to the student dormitory.
To rest well before the three days of the “Knight’s Training” pre-selection match.
More importantly, ‘Refining Evil’ rituals of Miss Chen Li recently seemed to have shown some progress.
At a critical juncture, Han Dong needed to be around.
If Chen Li could achieve growth, it would indirectly elevate Han Dong’s overall strength
Even though Togu’s overall combat power was stronger than Chen Li’s, and even had the “Unique” label behind his name.
Nevertheless, Han Dong preferred Chen Li more.
He did not prefer her emotionally.
But, because Chen Li chose to follow Han Dong of her own volition, willingly accepted containment and retained some special feelings and human consciousness.
At every critical moment, Chen Li could offer more straightforward assistance.
Just as the cemetery butler led a Rotten Corpse Horse to Han Dong, a familiar voice sounded.
“How did it go?”
Han Dong immediately looked towards a gravestone on the other side where a crow was perched.
“I got the answer I wanted.”
“That’s good, whether or not to take a ‘minor’ is up to you I look forward to your performance in the Knight’s Training.”
“Mm, I’ll try my best.”
“By the way, did anything ‘interesting’ happen on your way into the swamp?” When Mr. Black White asked this question, it was as if he had foreseen something.
“Nothing.”
Caw, caw, caw
The connection between Mr. Black White and the crow was cut off, and the crow flapped its wings and flew away.
Regarding Mia Seminovich, whether Mr. Black White had already foreseen it or not, Han Dong still thought it best not to discuss it.
The “Knight’s Training” is officially named “National Royal Academy of Knights-Elite Training”.
The teaching system of the National Royal Academy of Knights is similar to the university that Han Dong attended in his previous life, with a semester system.
It consists of two semesters within one school year, each lasting four months.
There’s something similar to the ‘winter break’ and ‘summer vacation’.
However, the vacation would not allow apprentice knights to relax.
The upcoming summer vacation corresponds to the Knight’s Training.
The apprentice knights who are not selected for training will have to complete a sufficient number of bounty missions or meet certain academic requirements as per the academy and the tutors during the holiday.
If standards were not met, they might face the possibility of being dismissed.
Here one point needs to be stressed:
Before the “Fate Seed” sprouts, the investment of Fate Points and strength are not directly linked.
As mentioned before.
Investment in Fate Points, prior to reaching the tipping point, only increases the upper limit of energy value allowing individuals to cast special abilities multiple times or for long durations.
Individual strength still largely depends on subsequent learning of knowledge systems, combat practice, and innate talent.
“National Royal Academy of Knights- Elite Training”
Open to all ‘Seed Period’ apprentice knights, acting somewhat like a mechanism for selecting elite personnel.
Any apprentice knight who has only allocated one Fate Point, or has allocated five, but yet to experience ‘Breaking the Breed’, can participate.
During the training period, students who perform extraordinarily will attract ‘higher-ups’ attention.
Moreover, the intensive training holds significant meaning for apprentice knights.
Through the ‘special methods’ in intensive training, the potential of apprentice knights can be elicited, bringing a comprehensive enhancement to their individual strengths.
The Crusaders – Cass Martini.
In “The Return of the Clown”, he was able to fight alongside the clown against the then pinnacle-status [Purgatory Monk-Togu].
It was indeed in the previous intensive training that he achieved improvements in ‘physical fitness’ and ‘combat techniques’.
Also, because of the excellent evaluation of his last camp and the clear of the four-star difficulty level in “The Return of the Clown (Surface Chapter)” this time, he was given the opportunity to participate in the training camp for the second time.
Each training will be fully managed by one of the [Thirteen Knight Orders].
They will go to a secret base outside the city wall for training.
Since the bases are all temporarily established.
Therefore, the location and content of each training will be different No one knows what dangers they will face during the training period.
Faceless Skull – Portable Prison.
In the tiny space of two cells and a corridor, a lot of black energy swirled around.
Han Dong was planning to take advantage of the three free days to rest.
But he ended up going to the prison as soon as he returned to the dormitory to assist Miss Chen Li in ‘Refining Evil’ After all, only Han Dong could really control the Eye Book.
And so, two days and two nights passed in refining.
Dangerous ‘uncontrolled rampages’ occurred multiple times during this period.
Even Togu from the room next door had to come and help, using iron chains to firmly bind Chen Li.
Poor Togu was even struck straight by Chen Li’s kitchen knife several times.
Once a heavy evil-condensing chop strike left a black mark on Togu’s shiny bald head, almost breaking his ‘Copper Skin Iron Bones’.
However, Togu, who took such an attack, was oddly pleased, as if this kind of pain that could harm his flesh brought him mental pleasure.
Evil Qi Convergence Body.
A unique evil bead began to condense in Chen Li’s abdomen.
Her hair floated, her pupils glowed red and her body became even slender and tall.
Chen Li has grown.
This scene swept away Han Dong’s fatigue and brought a smile to his face.
“[Detection of growth in ‘Possessed’ Chen Li’s Refining Evil, related containment information has been updated]”

The black hair thus floated in the air.
However, Chen Li’s eyes gradually returned to normal, staring straight at Han Dong, who had stayed with her for two days and two nights, with dark circles under his eyes.
“Togu, untie the chains.”
Clang
Just at the moment when the chains were released.
Chen Li, with her hair flying, quickly pounced on Han Dong
But she did not hurt him, nor did any dangerous situation occur.
Chen Li opened her slender arms to hug Han Dong, her red lips brushing his earlobe, whispering:
“Thank you for always being with me Mr. Han Dong.”
