Alchemy of Evil

　　Han Dong exits the Witch's Swamp on his way.

　　Although the witch asked the two to stay, it was just an ulterior motive to speed up their relationship.

　　With Han Dong winning the cut-throat competition and the witch herself in a bad mood, it was best for Han Dong to leave.

　　And.

　　Han Dong reckoned that it would be hard to swallow in the face of the so-called 'witch's dinner'.

　　Han Dong, who left from the swamp area, prepared to return directly to the student dormitory.

　　Take a good rest in the three days before the opening of the [Knight Training] preliminaries.

　　Moreover, Miss Chen Li's recent "Alchemy of Evil" ritual seemed to be making some progress.

　　Even during the critical period, Han Dong had to keep watch.

　　If Chen Li could gain growth, it could be considered an indirect boost to Han Dong's overall strength.

　　Although Togo's overall combat power was a bit stronger than Chen Li's, and even had the unique marking after his name.

　　But Han Dong still liked Chen Li a bit more.

　　Not an emotional liking.

　　Rather, because Chen Li was following Han Dong of her own will, actively accepting the shelter, retaining some special feelings and the consciousness of humanity itself.

　　At all critical moments, Chen Li could give more intuitive help.

　　Just as the cemetery steward brought Han Dong a carrion horse, a familiar voice was heard.

　　"How was the talk?"

　　Han Dong immediately looked to the other side of the tombstone with a raven standing on it.

　　"Got the desired answer."

　　"Well then, it's up to you to decide if you want to do the 'minor' or not, I look forward to your performance in the knight training."

　　"Well, I'll try my best."

　　"By the way, did anything 'interesting' happen on your way deep into the swamp?" When Mr. Black and White asked the question, it was as if he had foreseen something in advance.

　　"There's nothing going on."

　　Grrr~.

　　Mr. Black and White's connection to the raven is broken and the raven flies away on wings.

　　There was something about Mia Seminovich, whether Mr. Black and White had foreseen it or not, Han Dong still thought it best not to talk about it.

------------------------

　　The full name of this training program is "The Royal Knight Academy - Elite Training".

　　The teaching structure of the National Royal Knights Academy was similar to the university before Han Dong's birth, with a semester system.

　　Four months were a semester, and two semesters were considered an academic year.

　　There were similar winter vacations and summer vacations.

　　Only, the holidays wouldn't let trainee knights relax either.

　　The upcoming summer vacation corresponded to the knight training.

　　Trainee Knights who were not selected for training would be required by the academy as well as their instructors to complete a sufficient amount of bounties or meet certain academic requirements during their vacation.

　　If they fail to meet the requirements, they may face the possibility of being dropped from the academy.

　　One more point that needs to be emphasized here is.

　　Before the [Fate Seed] sprouted, the investment of Fate Points was not directly linked to strength.

　　It has already been said before.

　　The only thing that the investment of Fate Points will raise before it reaches a qualitative change is the upper limit of energy value, allowing an individual to perform supernatural moves for a long period of time or multiple times.

　　A large part of an individual's strength also depends on the subsequent learning of the knowledge system, combat practice, and their own talent.

　　[Royal National Knight Academy-Elite Training].

　　Open to all "seed stage" trainee knights, it is akin to an elite personnel screening mechanism.

　　Whether a trainee knight has only been allocated one Destiny point, or has been allocated five points but has yet to undergo 'Seed Breaking', they can all participate.

　　During the intensive training, students who performed well or were special would receive attention from 'above'.

　　Furthermore, the training has great significance for the trainee knights.

　　Through the 'special way' within the training, the potential within the trainee knight's body is drawn out, resulting in an all-round improvement in individual strength.

　　Crusaders like Cass Martini.

　　Being able to cooperate with the Joker in "The Joker's Return" to battle [Purgatory Monk-Togo], who was still in his peak state at the time.

　　It was during the previous training that he was able to improve his "Physical Fitness" and "Battle Skills".

　　Due to the excellent evaluations from the previous training, and the fact that he successfully cleared the 4-star difficulty Joker's Revival (Table), Cass was given a second chance to participate in the training.

　　Each training gathering would be fully run by one of the [Thirteen Knights].

　　Traveling to a secret base outside the city walls to train.

　　As the bases were established temporarily.

　　Therefore, the place and content of each training session would be different, no one knew what kind of danger they would face during the training.

-------------------------

　　The Faceless Head - Portable Prison.

　　The small space with only two cells and a corridor was surrounded by a large amount of evil Qi.

　　Han Dong had also planned to take advantage of the three days he was free to rest.

　　Who knew, as soon as he returned to his dormitory, he entered the prison to assist Miss Chen Li in "refining evil", After all, only Han Dong could truly control the Eye Book.

　　It took him two days and two nights to do so.

　　During this time, there were many instances of "uncontrolled violence".

　　So much so that Togo, who was in the next room, came to help and bound Chen Li with an iron chain.

　　During that time, poor Togo was also chopped head-on by a kitchen knife several times.

　　The heaviest Congealing Chop left a black mark on the surface of Togo's bald head, nearly breaking his "bronze skin and iron bones".

　　However, Togo who took this kind of attack was very happy, as if this kind of pain that could hurt his flesh could bring him mental pleasure.

　　Evil Qi Convergence Body.

　　A unique pearl of evil condensed and formed in Chen Li's abdomen.

　　Black hair flew, red pupils flashed, and her limbs became slenderer and more elongated.

　　Chen Li had grown.

　　This scene watched as Han Dong swept away his weariness and smiled.

　　"Detected that [Sinister Chen Li] has grown up with evil, the information about the shelter has changed.

　　Acceptance method: perfect acceptance.

　　Category: Evil Cultivator (After an evil channeling successfully performs "evil refinement" and condenses "evil pills" within their body, they become a true Evil Cultivator)

　　Battle rating: D (D-→D)

　　Progression: inhaling and refining the evil energy in other beings (Changed)

　　Capacity.

　　1. Evil Body" - The appearance will be changed to make the body out of the human category and increase the attribute value.

　　2. "Kitchen Knife" - The original weapon can be changed through evil energy depending on the combat situation.

　　The black hair just floated in the air.

　　However, Chen Li's pupils gradually changed back to their original form, staring pensively at Han Dong, who had stayed here with her for two days and two nights in front of her, with deep black eyes.

　　"Togo, let go of the chains."

　　Clang~.

　　The moment the chain restraints were untied.

　　The black-haired Chen Li, who was flying, quickly pounced on Han Dong.

　　But there was no harm done to him, and no dangerous situation occurred.

　　Chen Li spread her even slimmer arms to hug Han Dong, her red lips grazing her earlobe as she whispered in Han Dong's ear.

　　"Thank you for always being there for me, Mr. Han Dong."
