"You damn creature, quite the runner, aren't you!"

Steady footsteps echoed on the concrete path beside the yellow soil. Chu Feng, long knife in hand, rounded a lush, unnamed sapling and slowly approached.

Looking at the demon, which hadn't risen from the ground for a long time, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

I like waits that are worthwhile. This is a perfect example. Having outlasted the demon's burst phase, everything has become much easier.

Turning his head to look at the ancient, church-like building behind him, Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

"This would make quite a decent burial site! Oh, my apologies. I almost forgot that your demon kind usually don't leave any remains after being killed by an Exorcist."

The faint dark clouds that had once filled the sky had vanished at some point, and pale golden sunlight now shone directly upon the man and the demon.

Yet their sensations were utterly different.

The sunlight was warm, yet it brought a bone-chilling cold to the demon—a creature that had never before concerned itself with temperature.

"Human, spare me! I can trade you information from Hell!"

The demon's hoarse voice held a faint plea; clearly, at this life-or-death moment, its dignity had been cast aside.

"Information from Hell? I daren't trust information from a crafty demon whose name I don't even know."

Chu Feng smiled, shaking his head, as the long knife in his right hand performed a graceful flourish.

Watching Chu Feng draw closer, his long knife glinting with cold light, the demon grew more frantic as the sense of impending death intensified.

"Asmodeus Kerbastos!"

"Master Exorcist, Asmodeus Kerbastos is my name!"

Panic-stricken, the demon yelled out its name as Chu Feng, now standing beside it, slowly raised his long knife.

"Asmo... ugh! What a ridiculously long name. I'll just call you Asmo! I might consider your suggestion."

After a moment of hesitant consideration, Chu Feng said, "Alright, let's first test the accuracy of your information!"

With that, Chu Feng lowered the raised long knife and extended his left hand, palm open, revealing an antique-looking ring.

"Tell me, what is this?"

With a chance at survival right before its eyes, the demon looked expectantly at Chu Feng's open palm.

"This... this is..." The demon's eyes reflected doubt, yet it dared not be certain.

"What's the matter? You don't know?" Chu Feng's eyes narrowed. The long knife in his right hand twitched, sunlight glinting off it and sending a dazzling, cold flash across the demon's face.

"No, no, no... Master Exorcist, I'm just a bit skeptical. That ring in your hand strongly resembles a legendary item from Hell."

The demon's words startled Chu Feng, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he replied calmly, "Continue!"

The demon looked at Chu Feng's impassive face, unable to discern how much he knew about the ring. It wanted to lie but feared exposure and a swift beheading.

"It was rumored in Hell that Lord Satan, to amuse himself during his idle hours, whimsically crafted twelve rings based on the twelve zodiac signs."

Chu Feng's fingers tightened around the long knife. "Rings created by Satan?"

"Lord Satan cast the twelve rings into the Human World, awaiting the revival of the Bizarre there, at which point the rings themselves would slowly awaken."

"The ring is alive?" Chu Feng tensed and instantly tossed the tightly held ring into his Storage Space.

"That's when Lord Satan's game begins! These twelve rings must use their own power to nurture the Bizarre. The ultimate victor among them will be granted the chance by Satan to transform into a living being."

As it finished speaking, a look of envy appeared in the eyes of the demon on the ground.

"With Lord Satan's promise, the victorious ring, once transformed into life, would, at worst, likely become an ordinary Devil-level creature!"

The ring's potential future sparked intense envy in Asmodeus. Even at his strongest, he was merely a High Rank Demon, and he burned with the desire to take its place.

"What are these twelve rings called?"

Faced with the sudden question, the demon answered subconsciously, "Satan's Game!"

Then, the demon's eyes suddenly widened. This Exorcist didn't even know what the rings were called!

Its mind raced, and an idea instantly formed.

Right, he's human, so he doesn't understand information from Hell! Could I possibly...

"Master Exorcist, you can confirm it now, right? My information is absolutely true!"

A fawning expression spread across the demon's fierce face, a subtle, treacherous glint hidden deep within its eyes.

"Hmm, the information is indeed accurate! That's why... there's even less reason to let you go!"

Before his words faded, a blinding flash of cold light streaked across the demon's neck.

The fawning expression on the demon's face had yet to be replaced by shock before it gradually turned to ash.

"Next time you try to pull a fast one, remember to hide your intentions much deeper!"

Chu Feng, suspicious of the demon from the start, had been watching its every move. The shock that widened its eyes did not escape his notice.

Knowing the demon was likely aware of his ignorance regarding Hell, Chu Feng realized he had lost his air of mystery before it.

In such a situation, any further information from this cunning demon would undoubtedly be riddled with lies.

So, such information is better left unheard!

At least I now know the origin of this incredibly resilient ring...

"This really is a hot potato!"

Chu Feng shivered, recalling how he often played with the ring.

Don't tell me I've actually caught Satan's attention?

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing a demon. You will obtain the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute +73 points, Physique Attribute +70 points, Mental Attribute +72 points, Spiritual Power Attributes +65 points

2. Lifespan +70 years

3. Spiritual Wings Technique"

Chu Feng momentarily ignored the Attributes from the system reward, his gaze drawn directly to the last item: the Spiritual Wings Technique.

Looking at the name, a guess instantly formed in his mind.

He eagerly clicked on the description of the Spiritual Wings Technique.

Spiritual Wings Technique: An alternative method of manipulating Spiritual Power to form invisible spiritual wings on one's back, enabling the practitioner to gain the ability to fly.

PS: Have you ever yearned to soar in the blue sky? Have you ever envied the wings of birds? Come on! Practice this technique, and you'll be airborne in no time!

A special note: avoid prolonged flight during thunderstorms!

After reading the description of the Spiritual Wings Technique, Chu Feng's eyes lit up.

"I can finally fly!"

Originally, Chu Feng had thought that once his Mental Attribute increased to a certain level, his Telekinesis could support his weight. Only then would he be able to fly.
