Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou City, a dark underground prison.

"Chu Hao, I still underestimated you."

"Half a year, and you really never begged for mercy."

"If it were anyone ordinary, they probably would have broken long ago."

"You make me very unhappy."

Xue Beng held a steel whip and lashed Chu Hao, who was bound to a cross, with all his strength, his eyes filled with resentment.

Chu Hao did not reply. His only response was an exceptionally icy stare.

"Heh, as expected of a tough bone. You really are hard."

"Today, this prince has prepared a great gift for you."

Xue Beng glanced at his eyes, sneered mockingly, and clapped his hands as if issuing some order.

Before long, guards escorted a pitiful, beautiful little girl inside.

Chu Hao looked over, and his whole body shook. Ripples appeared in his cold, emotionless eyes.

"Brother..."

The little girl looked at Chu Hao, whose body was covered in whip marks, his flesh split open, with not a single uninjured spot left. Her emotions collapsed on the spot, and she burst into heartbroken sobs.

"Ling'er..."

Chu Hao heard that long-missed cry, and his whole body trembled violently. Blue veins bulged, and his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

In his heart, his family was his weak spot.

Especially the little sister he doted on most.

"Chu Hao, how is this gift? Do you like it?"

Seeing the change in Chu Hao, Xue Beng knew he was getting anxious. He pulled Chu Ling into his arms, his face covered in a smug smile.

Half a year.

He had finally gotten to Chu Hao's state of mind.

It seemed that to deal with a tough bone like this, he still had to start with his weak spot.

"Xue Beng, if you're a man, let her go."

When Chu Hao saw Xue Beng's actions, his eyes narrowed and he let out a cold, low voice, every word seeming to be squeezed out through his teeth.

A cold glint flashed through those icy eyes of his, like a spike of ice.

"Let her go?"

"Why should I let her go?"

"I'm going to 'entertain' her properly in a little while."

"Chu Hao, aren't your bones hard? Aren't you able to endure?"

"It doesn't matter. This prince will start with your sister."

"You just stay here and enjoy yourself."

"Wu Fan, beat him hard for me."

Xue Beng looked into his eyes and felt fear rise in his heart. He did not quite dare to meet his gaze.

Those icy eyes were so cold.

Perhaps driven by fear, after handing the steel whip in his hand to the guard, Xue Beng directly carried the powerless Chu Ling away over his shoulder.

"Brother, Brother, save me..."

Chu Ling struggled desperately, crying out, her eyes filled with grievance.

In her eyes, Chu Hao was her only support.

"Xue Beng, you deserve to die..."

Chu Hao watched Chu Ling, who kept pleading to him for help. His eyes narrowed into slits, and they were filled with killing intent and hatred.

He hated himself for having no ability, for being unable to save his sister.

He hated himself for being unable to break free of his restraints and cut Xue Beng into a thousand pieces.

Even more, he hated the heavens for letting him transmigrate, only to arrange such a tragic fate for him.

That endless hatred was like arrow after arrow, piercing through his heart.

"What are you roaring for? You sound like a wailing ghost."

Listening to Chu Hao's resentful voice, Wu Fan swung the steel whip in his hand and lashed it down onto his body.

The sharp crack of the whip gradually calmed him down, and his gaze became even colder.

Wu Fan looked into his eyes, and his heart trembled. The movements of his hand slowed.

What a terrifying gaze.

If looks could kill, he would probably have died countless times over by now.

"You filthy dog, you still dare glare at me? Just watch how I torture you."

Wu Fan swallowed and lashed him madly, as if trying to hide the fear in his heart this way.

But no matter how he tortured him, Chu Hao only stared at him with eyes that grew colder and colder, making Wu Fan's heart tremble.

In the end, Wu Fan could no longer bear Chu Hao's gaze. After hurling a few curses, he turned and left.

At that moment, scene after scene surfaced in Chu Hao's mind.

Twelve years ago, he had suddenly transmigrated to Douluo Continent and been reborn into an ordinary family in Heaven Dou City.

When he was six, he awakened an ordinary longsword martial soul, with innate soul power at level three.

That left Chu Hao, who had set his heart on beating up Tang San's generation, pursuing his beloved goddess, and roaming the continent, utterly disheartened.

He could only rely on his knowledge of the original plot and try to defy fate.

Who would have thought that, by accident, Chu Hao would ruin Xue Beng's plan, nearly causing Xue Beng to expose his true nature in front of Qian Renxue and almost lose his life?

To take revenge, Xue Beng had used every method imaginable.

His parents were killed, he was captured, his martial soul was crippled, and he suffered every kind of torment.

Now, even the little sister he loved most had been found by Xue Beng and was about to become a plaything.

All these things were more than he could accept.

Why was it that when others transmigrated, they could get cheat abilities, have everything go their way, roam freely all their lives, and win the beauty in the end, while he could only suffer torment here?

He could not accept it.

If one day he could defy fate, he would make Xue Beng and this damned "Heaven" pay in blood.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have activated Douluo's Strongest System.] [System loading...] [10%] [20%]
[100%] [Ding! System fully loaded successfully. Slaughter Devouring Divine Ability activated.

Just as Chu Hao was raging against Heaven, mechanical notification sounds rang out in his mind.

In an instant, all the injuries on his body healed completely. His body was filled with surging soul power that flowed through him, improving his physique and stimulating all his potential.

"Heh, a system?"

"You weren't willing to come out until I cursed you a couple times, huh?"

"System, open the Growth Gift Pack. I want a soul ring!"

Chu Hao listened to the system's notifications and felt the changes in his body. He smiled coldly, a bit more killing intent appearing in his icy eyes.

Twelve years!

His cheat had finally arrived.

It still was not too late!

[Ding! Growth Gift Pack opened successfully. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one God-given soul ring.] [God-given soul ring: Without needing to hunt soul beasts, you can obtain the soul skill you need most, as well as a soul ring of the highest age you can withstand.]

"System, attach the soul ring to Hades Sword."

Chu Hao was overjoyed to obtain the God-given soul ring.

With Hades Sword and the Slaughter Devouring Divine Ability, it was enough for him to leave this hellhole, find a chance to take revenge, and save his little sister.

[Ding! God-given soul ring attached successfully. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a thousand-year soul ring. Soul skill: Evil Blade Dawnbreaker (can inflict serious injury and Dawnbreaker power, weakening the enemy's defense by fifty percent and weakening recovery ability by fifty percent).]

"Heh, a thousand-year soul ring?"

"Interesting!"

"Shatter for me!"

Having obtained his soul ring, Chu Hao immediately summoned his martial soul and erupted with powerful slaughtering sword energy, shattering the iron chains on his body.

The loud sound of the iron chains breaking drew the attention of the dungeon guards, who immediately rushed in.

When the dungeon guards saw Chu Hao free from his restraints and holding Hades Sword, their expressions changed drastically.

Those icy eyes and heaven-reaching killing intent made their hearts tremble.

"You all deserve to die!"
