Chapter 17 — The Tale of Cultivation and Demon Extermination

Chapter 17

The entrance examination concludes with Kang I-tae dismissing the four applicants from the barrier. Seolryeong stares in shock at Ise's brutal methods. The sixth day brings a written exam on the Great Exorcist Order Basic Handbook, a spiritual-root assessment where an examiner discerns Ise's Second Star realm and special constitution, and a Medicine Hall visit for injuries. That evening, the team gathers around a bonfire for Seolryeong's Burning Garment Rite, a cleansing ritual to remove demonic qi and evil energy from battle clothes. Hae Unchan brings jerky and rice wine, sparking debate over impure foods. Seolryeong explains the rite's purpose, and the group strips to change. Ise reveals he went demon hunting at age ten, prompting Seolryeong's shocked questions until Pi Garam deftly changes the subject. Ise confesses he pushed himself to catch the Hall Masters' attention due to his special constitution, and the group agrees to keep it secret. The final day arrives with all ten Hall Masters present as observers. Kang I-tae announces the seventh examination: reverse-ranked one-on-one matches where applicants fight until surrender or unconsciousness. Seolryeong and Pi Garam prove their strength, while Ise and Hae Unchan, as top scorer and runner-up, await the final match.
