The Exorcism Began in America.

Within the room, all bizarre phenomena vanished in an instant, leaving not even a trace of the thick layer of white frost that had once covered the floor.

It was as if the quiet before a storm had descended. In the entire Room 1408, apart from Chu Feng's breathing, not another sound could be heard.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time seemed to slow. Sensing the abnormality around him, Chu Feng's muscles tensed. His expression turned grave as he scanned his surroundings. He wondered what this Bizarre entity planned to do.

After an indeterminate amount of time, all the lights suddenly went out, plunging Room 1408 into complete darkness.

In the center of the room, Chu Feng felt a sudden BUZZ as a barrage of jarring sounds directly invaded his mind.

"Little Feng~ Little Feng~ Come to Mommy!"

"Chu Feng, let's break up!"

"Why do you want to kill me? I just want to live!"

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey..."

"..."

Noise, irritation, pain, madness, despair... Countless negative emotions formed a bizarre torrent, flooding Chu Feng's mind like a deluge.

The extreme, throbbing pain made veins bulge on Chu Feng's forehead, and his face flushed crimson as he clutched his head.

"Damn... it..."

His spiritual power, which had already exceeded 100 points, now acted as a dam, desperately resisting the assault.

On the ground, drops of fresh red blood bloomed one after another, like macabre flowers.

The sclera of his eyes, normally white, were now engorged with countless web-like blood vessels due to the immense pressure. From a distance, they looked utterly terrifying.

Chu Feng struggled to pick up the Demon Hunting Blade that had fallen to the ground. Using the long blade as support, he slowly stood up, his bloodshot eyes flashing with a savage light.

The surging Spiritual Power within him was frantically channeled into the Demon Hunting Blade.

In the blink of an eye, a searing inferno erupted from the blade's edge.

Under the extreme heat, the air around the blade seemed to warp and distort.

"You... will... DIE!"

Chu Feng gripped the hilt of the Demon Hunting Blade with both hands. Pointing the tip downward, his eyes narrowed fiercely as he plunged it down with all his might.

BOOM!

The next second, countless flames instantly scattered, sweeping through everything in the room.

The floor, the walls, the ceiling—nearly every object in Room 1408 ignited almost in the blink of an eye.

In this life-or-death moment, Room 1408 naturally played its final, desperate card.

The Bizarre powers that had enveloped the entire room were retracted in the blink of an eye.

The next second, a torrent of power, several times more violent than before, surged directly into Chu Feng's mind.

This time, the spiritual dam, already teetering, shattered instantly under the onslaught.

Scene after scene of absurd images began flashing before Chu Feng's eyes like a rapidly spinning carousel.

His once-fierce gaze turned vacant and confused.

"DING! Skill 'Eye of Truth' activated!"

As the skill icon in the corner of the system panel began to blink, a potent energy instantly materialized in Chu Feng's mind.

Like a force of nature, the Bizarre powers from Room 1408 invading Chu Feng's mind were utterly swept away.

"Cough... cough, cough... That's the second time!"

With the mental pressure suddenly gone, Chu Feng, half-kneeling on the ground, finally managed a faint smile.

Just as Chu Feng felt a wave of relief wash over him, transparent, illusory figures of strangers suddenly appeared around him in the room.

They all looked at Chu Feng in the center of the room with smiles, nodding lightly. Then, one by one, they began to fade, transforming into dazzling motes of light that dissipated into the air.

The instant all the figures vanished, a deafening roar erupted.

The burning walls suddenly began to crumble, and through the widening gaps, Chu Feng saw nothing but a void.

BOOM!

Another tremendous CRASH. Following the sound, Chu Feng saw the innermost wall of the room completely shatter into countless fragments, which then slowly drifted towards the distant void.

Looks like it's time to go! Chu Feng briskly got to his feet and walked to the tightly shut door.

Hmm? He twisted the doorknob and pulled hard, but the door to Room 1408 didn't budge.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek echoed from within the room:

"Don't even think about leaving! Perish into oblivion with me! HAHAHA..."

"Noisy!" Chu Feng snapped.

Spiritual Power surged from within Chu Feng's body. The Demon Hunting Blade in his hand flashed like lightning, slashing across the door in an instant.

BOOM!

The firmly shut door was instantaneously split in two, revealing the brightly lit corridor beyond.

He took one step out, and it was like entering a different world.

Now standing in the corridor, Chu Feng looked back.

The space where the door to Room 1408 had been on the wall was rapidly consumed by the encroaching void, soon vanishing without a trace.

"DING! Congratulations to the Host for killing a special Bizarre creature. You will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute +11 points, Physique Attribute +12 points, Mental Attribute +14 points, Spiritual Power Attribute +15 points

2. Lifespan +15 years

3. Item: Spatial Anchor

Spatial Anchor: After binding, the Host can throw the Spatial Anchor to designate a fixed point in space. If the Host becomes lost in other spatial regions, the anchor will provide guidance."

"System, bind the Spatial Anchor!"

After understanding the Spatial Anchor's description, Chu Feng quickly chose to bind it.

His recent brush with that void-like space had indeed left him quite shaken.

After allocating these points, my Strength and Physique will both break 100! Eagerly, Chu Feng promptly applied all his rewards.

"DING! Congratulations to the Host. Your Strength and Physique have broken through to the First Rank. Your body's regenerative ability has been greatly enhanced; your body has gained the Berserk ability. Upon activation, your physical strength will increase threefold for a short period."

"DING! Host's personal panel has been updated."

Host: Chu Feng

Identity: Demon Hunter (First Rank)

Lifespan: 258

Strength: 110

Physique: 111

Spirit: 120

Spiritual Power: 180

Skills: Several

Items: Several

Berserk? Finally, another ace up my sleeve! A smile touched Chu Feng's lips.

My lifespan also increased by one hundred years. It's probably because my overall power broke through to the First Rank. As for the regenerative ability...

A soft DING sounded as the elevator doors on the first floor of the Dolphin Hotel slowly opened.

A tall, slender man in a white shirt, a black windbreaker draped over his shoulder, walked out.

"Boss!"

"Mr. Chu!"

As soon as Chu Feng's figure appeared, James and Manager Graman, who had been waiting, hurried over.

"Mr. Chu, about that room..." Manager Graman began, his expression hopeful.

Seeing the expectant look on the slightly rotund, older manager's face, Chu Feng nodded with a smile.

"It's been resolved. Room 1408 will not appear again."

"Wonderful! Thank God!" Manager Graman heaved a long sigh of relief, his slightly stooped posture straightening noticeably.

James, who had clearly been anticipating this, pinched his own thigh hard before rushing to Manager Graman's side.

Just as James began the process of settling the payment, Chu Feng's phone suddenly began to vibrate.

BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ...
