"The experiment is over; it's time to send you on your way!"

Chu Feng was extremely satisfied with the performance of the Soul Refining Technique. If he grew stronger in the future, perhaps he would only need to reach out towards a Bizarre to draw it into his palm. In an instant, he could turn it to ash.

As the Spiritual Power within Chu Feng's body poured into the silver flame in his palm, it surged violently, like oil poured on fire. After a short while, the Bizarre's wails gradually weakened until no more sound came from Chu Feng's palm. A few seconds later, as the System prompt resounded in his mind, the Bizarre finally perished completely.

Within the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation, the numerous snowmen stacked together also ceased their movements as the Bizarre perished. Their bodies began to slowly transform into countless points of white light. Seeing the increasing number of light points within the Spirit Trapping Formation, Chu Feng hurriedly put away the Array Plate. With the obstruction gone, the countless points of light slowly floated into the air, their final destination unknown.

"In your next life, don't be human! This world is getting too hard for people!"

Just as Chu Feng was about to withdraw the silver flames, a silvery-white phantom of a furnace suddenly appeared in his palm. Then, the furnace door opened, and a small, brass-colored object was spat out. After the furnace vanished, Chu Feng withdrew the Spiritual Fire in his palm and looked at the object that had landed at his feet.

Is this... a ring? Chu Feng's expression grew serious as he looked at the very familiar ring beside his foot.

Bending over, just as he reached to pick up the ring, it suddenly trembled. The next second, the ancient copper ring spat out another, similar-looking ring.

What's this? Observing the symbols on the two rings in his palm, Chu Feng was shocked. Capricorn and Aquarius... These are indeed the Zodiac Rings made by Satan!

However, can these rings actually devour each other? Holding the two rings, Chu Feng frowned slightly. This information was unsettling. The combination of just two rings could create such a powerful Bizarre. If that Bizarre hadn't been so foolish, I might have died here. I have two rings now, and there's another one in my Storage Space. That means there are still nine rings out there. Two rings merging created such a huge commotion. If several of the remaining nine rings were to combine, and if they were even a little smarter...

A sudden sense of urgency washed over Chu Feng at this thought.

Besides, did that damned Demon tell the truth? Or was the information it possessed fundamentally flawed? This doesn't look like just a game Satan is playing. From an Eastern perspective, the existence of these rings is more like cultivating Gu. If no one stops them, these rings might eventually merge, creating an incredibly powerful Bizarre. And now that I have three rings, have I already attracted Satan's attention?

At this thought, Chu Feng tensed and quickly tossed the two rings from his hand into his Storage Space. Right now, it's better to trust the System. I need to increase my strength quickly!

Feeling a sense of urgency, Chu Feng immediately opened the System's reward notification in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing a high-rank Evil Spirit. You will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute: 89 points, Physique Attribute: 86 points, Mental Attribute: 92 points, Spiritual Power Attribute: 82 points

2. Lifespan: 90 years

3. Divine Source Stone x2

4. Special Item: 'Soul Suppressing Sword Technique Rapid Cultivation Guide'"

Chu Feng's gaze skipped over the first three rewards and settled directly on the last one, the 'Soul Suppressing Sword Technique Rapid Cultivation Guide'.

A saber technique? Chu Feng, who had always relied on his exceptionally high attributes and internal Spiritual Power to wield his long saber, was immediately intrigued. With a thought, he gently tapped on the 'Soul Suppressing Sword Technique Rapid Cultivation Guide'.

'Soul Suppressing Sword Technique Rapid Cultivation Guide': A professional training manual for the 'Soul Suppressing Saber Technique.' Incredibly fast, with no negative reviews!

'Soul Suppressing Saber Technique': Initiate with the saber to build momentum; use this momentum to suppress souls. Eradicate demons, purify the mortal realm.

PS:

1. In a world of demons and monsters, an octogenarian elder, reflecting on a lifetime of battle, inscribed this saber technique onto a cliff face moments before his death.

2. The System has made minor adjustments to this technique to align with the rules of this world.

A world of demons and monsters? Bizarres and those should be pretty similar, right? Holding a faint doubt, Chu Feng focused his thoughts. The stone wall that had just appeared in his mind suddenly blazed with light.

In a daze, Chu Feng's consciousness found itself before a cliff face. He looked up to see an elderly man in a green robe, his back to him, holding a long saber.

Did I transmigrate? No, where's my body? Chu Feng, who had just been wondering if he'd arrived in another world, abruptly realized he couldn't feel his own body! Furthermore, his perspective was fixed on the saber-wielding elder; he couldn't shift his gaze at all.

What's happening? Am I seeing this from a soul's perspective?

Before Chu Feng could understand, the green-robed elder finally moved. The elder's arms, holding the long saber, were strong and powerful, yet his movements were unhurried, as if he were intentionally demonstrating for a student. As the long saber danced, it glinted with a cold light, a continuous flow of motion.

Chu Feng had only observed a few moves when an invisible pressure suddenly bore down on his heart. As the elder continued his saber forms, this pressure mounted relentlessly, seemingly without limit.

Damn, this old man's saber aura is incredible! And this is with the elder merely facing a cliff wall. If those strikes had been aimed at me... Chu Feng dared not imagine the consequences.

An unknown amount of time passed. Just when Chu Feng felt he could no longer hold on, the green-robed elder finally stopped, sheathed his saber, and, facing the sky, let out three hearty laughs. Then, the world before Chu Feng shattered like glass.

In the next instant, Chu Feng found himself in a dark expanse. As stars began to twinkle in the void above, human-like figures appeared before Chu Feng. Their faces were indistinct, but their builds were almost identical to Chu Feng's. Some sat cross-legged on the ground, sabers resting on their knees, eyes closed. Others held long sabers, practicing various individual stances and strikes.

When the space became fully lit, all the figures transformed into countless streaks of light and surged into Chu Feng's body.

A sudden rush of dizziness in his head forced Chu Feng to brace his forehead with his hand. The clear touch from his hand made him suddenly realize that he had unwittingly returned to reality.

This saber technique...

A quick mental review brought forth countless memories of saber practice, so vivid that Chu Feng wondered if he was dreaming. But the sight of the now-dimmed stone wall in his mind snapped him back to reality.

It wasn't a dream! It was the stone wall... the Rapid Cultivation Guide? That was unbelievably fast!

Still in disbelief, Chu Feng moved the long saber in his hand. The saber technique the elder had demonstrated before the cliff flowed from his hands as if he had practiced it a million times.
