"Huh?" Lin Hao was surprised.
"Whoever pretends to be a ghost in my body will die for the deity!"
Lin Hao was so angry that he cursed. Even if he was reborn as a snake, the snake's brain was not normal, and it seemed that something strange had been mixed in.
"Do you want to unlock the most powerful dragon system?"
The voice appeared again.
At this time, the strong man at the iron gate saw that the Black Yin Snake was slow to come in, so he rushed over with a stick.
"Bang!"
A stick struck Lin Hao's head, causing his body to twist, and he fainted.
Then, he was picked up and thrown into the iron cage...
"Do you want to unlock the most powerful dragon system?"
"The player Lin Hao has not made a choice, and the system will make a choice by default in three seconds."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Ding dong!"

"Triggering Main Quest 1: Escape from the Colosseum."
"Optional side quests: rescue the monsters and slaves in the Colosseum; the more you rescue, the more rewards you will earn!"
...
After an unknown amount of time in darkness, Lin Hao suddenly woke up.
He found himself locked in an iron cage with a shackle around his neck.
"Where is this?" Lin Hao looked around suspiciously.
Surveying the area, he realized this was a large, closed warehouse filled with imprisoned monsters. The iron cages were neatly arranged, stacked one after another.
This had to be the place where the Colosseum detained the monsters.
As Lin Hao looked around, he suddenly felt a twinge of emotion in his heart.
There were many monsters in the warehouse!
Some monsters were dripping with blood, shackled, and constantly struggling in their cages, letting out low, hoarse roars that sounded like wails, cries of desperation, and unwillingness.
There were wolves, tigers, lions, eagles...
Even some newly born cubs of monsters were interspersed among them, making milky "嘤嘤" cries.
Lin Hao was startled, and an inexplicable grief and anger suddenly welled up within him.
To tell the truth, with his temperament as the world-destroying Lei Zun, he had slaughtered clans and cities at every turn, killing more monsters than most people had ever eaten.
However, in this life, he was a monster, and his body couldn't help but carry a trace of the emotion of a creature of the wild. Seeing his fellow beings tortured and killed like mere playthings stirred a sense of indignation within him.
This feeling, from a human perspective, was completely incomprehensible, even inconceivable. He himself couldn't believe that an immortal who had coldly annihilated the demon clan would feel anger at the death of lowly demon beasts.
"Strange." Lin Hao shook his head and tried to calm down.
"Well, since I am a monster, I will do what monsters are supposed to do. I will destroy this Colosseum with my own hands!" Lin Hao closed his eyes, hiding his anger in his heart.
The most urgent task was to find a way to escape. His condition was far from satisfactory; the bone erosion in his body had not disappeared, and he still couldn't exert much strength.
"Ding! Would you like to open the novice gift package?"
At this moment, the strange voice reappeared.
"Who is it?!" Lin Hao shouted in fury, immediately diving into his sea of knowledge to search inch by inch, unsure which old monster was hiding and pretending to be a ghost.
However, he was taken aback in an instant.
In his sea of knowledge, he saw an unfamiliar picture.
Name: Lin Hao
Level: 1 (first-order monster); the next level requires 100 experience.
Soul: Harmony Realm (frozen)
Race: Black Snake
Skills: None
Martial arts: None
...
Below these lines of information was the inventory. The first box contained a novice gift package, with the word "open" written below it.
Under Lin Hao's misunderstanding, he clicked to open it unconsciously.
"Ding! You opened the novice gift package and received 1000 experience points! Obtained the Dragon Clan exercise 'Sacred Dragon Heart Method,' and the Dragon Clan talent martial arts 'Dragon Swinging Tail,' 'The Dragon Has Regrets,' and 'Flying Dragon in the Sky.'"
Sacred Dragon Heart Method: A low-level exercise of the Dragon Clan, which can be cultivated to the level of golden elixir, providing immunity to toxins, soothing the mind, and nourishing the soul.

"Ding! Congratulations on your promotion to level 2; the next level requires 500 experience!"
"Ding! Congratulations on your promotion to level 3; the next level requires 1000 experience!"
The next moment, Lin Hao felt his aura suddenly strengthen. The demon core in his body, which originally had a diameter of one inch, had grown to three inches, making him a third-order demon beast.
In other words, he had indeed leveled up!
"What?!" Lin Hao was shocked and swept his consciousness in again.
Name: Lin Hao
Level: 3 (third-order monster); the next level requires 1000 experience.
Soul: Harmony Realm (frozen)
Race: Black Snake
Cultivation method: 'Sacred Dragon Heart Method'
Martial arts: 'Dragon Swinging Tail,' 'The Dragon Has Regrets' (unlocked), 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' (unlocked)
...
Lin Hao's heart stirred with a storm of emotions. His indifference as a world-destroying Lei Zun couldn't help but turn pale.
Dragon Clan? Dragon martial arts?
As far as he knew, the Dragon Clan had gone extinct in the Vault of Heaven Continent as early as ancient times. Now he actually possessed the Dragon Clan's practice and martial arts?
This was outrageous! There was no such thing!
Could it be that the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel did this?
His consciousness swept again, and he found that in the depths of his sea of knowledge, a tiny roulette wheel was slowly spinning—it was the most precious Six Heavenly Wheel!
Moreover, one of the six paths had been opened, and it turned out to be the Animal Path!
"Beast Dao! Could this be why I was reborn as a snake?" Lin Hao was shocked.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Hao finally accepted this fact.
"The Heavenly Wheel of the Six Paths is the most precious treasure in the world; divine tools are incomparable. It's not surprising that such a thing exists." Lin Hao had complicated feelings and didn't know how to describe them.
The most powerful dragon system! The legendary dragon martial arts!
In any case, it was definitely not a bad thing for him!
"Xinghe, I didn't expect you to try so hard to rid yourself of the Six Path Heavenly Wheel, only for it to return with me!" Lin Hao couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Sacred Dragon Heart Method, a low-level martial arts of the Dragon Clan; today I will see how this Dragon Clan Cultivation Technique differs from ordinary Immortal Cultivation Techniques."
"Let's start!"
Lin Hao entered a state of cultivation.
In an instant, wisps of spiritual energy began to seep into his body through Lin Hao's snake scales. Under the influence of the Sacred Dragon Heart Method, his broken body gradually repaired itself, and the bone erosion powder within his bones slowly turned into residues and was expelled from his body.
One of the descriptions of the Sacred Dragon Heart Method stated: Immunity to toxins!
This meant that the Bone Erosion Powder couldn't harm him at all!
As time passed, the spiritual energy within Lin Hao's body became more abundant, and his meridians strengthened under its nourishment. The originally black demon core now radiated a milky white light, and the bone erosion powder was completely expelled.
Minutes passed by.
During this time, two strong men entered, captured a few monsters, and left.
Lin Hao continued to cultivate.
He didn't know how long had passed.
Lin Hao opened his eyes, a gleam of light shining in his pupils, and in a flash, a huge aura erupted from within him, causing the surrounding monsters to quiet down and gaze at him in amazement.
Lin Hao restrained his breath, and everything returned to calm.
Now he had returned to his prime and could break the cage at any time!
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, the door of the warehouse opened, revealing a hazy old man with a dry figure standing at the entrance. He spoke to the two strong men from the Colosseum outside.
"The old man has recently developed a few poison pills and needs monsters as test subjects. Please catch two second-order monsters and one third-order monster to bring over."
"Yes! Daoist Liu!" the two strong men from the Colosseum replied, their eyes scanning the room.
"It's better to catch some tenacious ones. The big white rat from last time didn't even take a breath; the experiment failed completely," the old man outside the door seemed a bit dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, Daoist, this time I'll catch a few stubborn ones." The two men laughed sheepishly
A strong man patted the cage, and a crackling electric light erupted from it, stunning the leopard inside and pulling it out, while the other person walked deeper into the warehouse.
"Come on!" Lin Hao held his breath.
