Refusing to be a Dog, Defying Heaven to Change Fate!

Star Dou Great Forest, outer zone.

The scent of damp earth mixed with a faint metallic tang of blood drifted into his nostrils. Huo Yuhao snapped his eyes open, the intense headache receding like a receding tide, replaced by a clarity stemming from the depths of his soul.

"I... transmigrated? I became Huo Yuhao?"

He subconsciously touched his head as the memories of two lifetimes merged in his mind in an instant.

A second ago, he was still pulling an all-nighter reading Peerless Tang Sect, furiously typing in the comment section to curse Tang San for being a heartless monster.

The next second, he had become the most tragic protagonist in the entire book.

Huo Yuhao sat on the ground, a self-deprecating sneer curling his lips.

"Heh... Huo Yuhao... you're no child of destiny; you're clearly just a dog kept by the Tang family!"

Looking back at the original work, Huo Yuhao's life was essentially a "record of being gaslit."

From the moment he joined the Tang Sect, his life had been meticulously arranged by that high-and-mighty Sea God, Tang San.

That "sincerity test" in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley was nothing more than trampling a person's dignity into the dirt.

And that "for your own good" memory seal? It was just the act of a pervert with an uncontrollable need for dominance.

What was most disgusting was that in order to secure a perfect ending for his daughter, Tang San had forced Wang Qiu'er to sacrifice herself, crushed Wang Dong'er, and stitched them together into a so-called "Tang Wutong"!

The bold, daring, and spirited Wang Qiu'er was gone.

The tsundere, adorable Wang Dong'er who had braved life and death with him was also gone.

What remained was just a little princess of the God Realm who bossed him around and suffered from a severe case of princess syndrome. And what about the Huo Yuhao from the original book?

The vengeance for his mother was swept under the rug thanks to Tang San's "magnanimous" persuasion.

He almost couldn't even keep his own surname, and in the end, he had to be grateful to Tang San, kneeling on the ground to call him father-in-law, willingly becoming a dog for the Tang Sect.

"Screw your tests, screw the Sea God!"

Huo Yuhao slammed a fist into the tree trunk beside him, his knuckles bleeding, yet his eyes burned with an unprecedented rage.

"Since I'm here, I will never repeat the same mistakes!"

"In this life, I, Huo Yuhao, live only for myself! Tang San, you want to domesticate me? Keep dreaming! I will return everything you've inflicted upon me a thousandfold, ten thousandfold!"

Just as the rage surged in Huo Yuhao's heart and he made his vow, a cold, mechanical voice exploded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected the host's intense rebellious will, God King Trigger System is binding...]

[Binding successful!]

[This system aims to help the host break his shackles. As long as you cause Tang San to feel negative emotions like anger, shock, or fear, you will gain Rage Points. Consume Rage Points to obtain anything you desire!]

Huo Yuhao was stunned, then overcome with ecstasy.

A system—the standard equipment for any transmigrator—late, but present!

And the functions of this system... they were practically tailor-made for him!

He could get stronger just by pissing off Tang San? He'd do this job for free!

[Ding! Newbie gift pack has been issued. Open it?]

"Open!" Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. [Congratulations to the host, you have obtained Martial Soul Evolution Card (God-tier) *1, Marrow Cleansing Pill *1.]

[Detected that the host is currently merging with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm soul ring. Use the Martial Soul Evolution Card immediately?]

"Use it!"

BOOM—!

A warm current instantly rose from his dantian and surged straight into his eyes.

His spiritual sea, which had felt swollen and painful from merging with a million-year soul ring, underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

The pale golden light in his pupils instantly shifted into a majestic, ancient golden hue.

Martial Soul Evolution: Spirit Eye—Golden Eyes!

At the same time, his previously frail body was cleansed by the Marrow Cleansing Pill; his meridians widened inch by inch, and impurities were instantly expelled.

His Innate Soul Power, which had only been at level one and barely capable of cultivation, soared like a rocket at this moment!

Innate Full Soul Power!

Inside the spiritual sea.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been feeling regretful about having to seal away the vast majority of its power, suddenly widened its small, mung-bean-sized eyes.

"What the hell? What's going on?!"

The round body of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began to tremble violently.

According to its estimates, Huo Yuhao's body was too weak to handle even a fraction of its sealed power, and reaching level eleven would have been the absolute limit.

It had even prepared to disguise its soul ring as a ten-year white ring to prevent the kid from exploding.

But just now, it felt as if Huo Yuhao's body had turned into a massive black hole!

The meridians that were originally fragile and weak suddenly became incredibly tough, as wide as rivers.

The originally barren spiritual sea expanded more than tenfold in an instant, radiating a sacred aura that even surprised him.

"This kid's martial soul... has it mutated? Or did it undergo a second awakening?"

"Is my luck really this good? I just picked up a random human, and he turns out to be a peerless genius?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice changed pitch with excitement: "Since you can handle it, then I won't hold back; I must feed you until you're completely full!"

The million-year spiritual power, which had been sealed away in layers, flowed through a tiny crack in the seal and poured frantically into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Outside, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged, air currents surging around his body.

At his feet, the first soul ring, which should have been a pale white, was now glowing with a rich purple light!

Purple... representing a thousand-year soul ring.

Furthermore, his soul power had reached level 19, just one step away from becoming a Soul Grand Master! In a single moment, he had been reborn!

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, his Golden Eyes flashing briefly, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The world became clearer than ever before in his eyes; he could even see the flight path of a mosquito flapping its wings a hundred meters away.

"Wahahahaha! I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Inside the spiritual sea, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was rolling around in excitement!

"I originally thought I'd be dragging a burden along to realize that unreachable dream of creating a god, but I never expected to find a treasure! Yuhao, you're amazing! You actually withstood thousands of years of my cultivation in one go; having a thousand-year soul ring as your first is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Douluo Continent!"

Huo Yuhao felt the surging power within his body and clenched his fists.

This feeling of being filled with strength was completely different from the timid and struggling Huo Yuhao in the original story.

"Thank you, Brother Tianmeng!" Huo Yuhao expressed his sincere gratitude.

In the spiritual sea, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's smug voice rang out: "I've prepared four powerful soul skills for you! This is the prestige of a million-year soul ring!"

Huo Yuhao focused his mind, and information about the four soul skills instantly flooded into his brain.

First soul skill: Spiritual Detection Sharing. It has a wider range, higher resolution, and can even predict the direction of an enemy's muscle exertion.

Second soul skill: Soul Shock. A simple and brutal hammer blow of spiritual power, perfect for dealing with any defiance.

Third soul skill: Soul Deterrence, also known as Silence. This is something not present in the original story; it can plunge an opponent into brief fear and paralysis, and can even interrupt spellcasting.

Fourth soul skill: Spiritual Replication. It can instantly analyze and imitate an opponent's soul skill.

"Not bad, even more powerful than I imagined." Huo Yuhao was very satisfied.

These four soul skills were far more formidable than those in the original story, and combined with his spiritual power—which had already reached the level of a Soul Ancestor despite him only being level 19—he already possessed considerable combat strength.

He would never experience the various unfair treatments he faced after entering Shrek Academy in the original story.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the woods in the distance.

"Someone's coming!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned, "It must be because the commotion when that gray bead descended was too great!"
