Devil system starts

Hou Dan Di stared at his foolish third son, who didn't even know how to make up a proper reason or excuse to get out of this. Dark lines appeared over his face as he smacked his third son again.

"Do you think I'm blind! You call that sh*t a soup? How about I make you drink it right now!" He roared

Hou Qing was stunned, he then realised the flaws of his reasoning as sweat rolled down his face.

'Is it the Hou lineage's genetics that makes him a complete idiot? Or did all the bad genetics get passed to the two youngest?' Hou Tian wondered when he saw the shock on Hou Qing's face, as if he was shocked to see his plan was seen through.

"F-Father, I-"

"Shut up! Guards, take the third prince to his own mansion, he is to be under house arrest for half a month, no one is to visit him!" He roared

The guards immediately acted and grabbed the third prince

"Let go!" Hou Qing roared

"Your highness, please just comply, or we might harm you in the process" With that, Hou Qing fell silent as he got dragged away.

Hou Tian looked up at Hou Dan Di with water eyes

"F-Father, d-does third brother hate me?" He asked

Hou Dan Di sighed and rubbed Hou Tian's head

"My Tian'er...your third brother is just going to rest, he doesn't h-hate you..." He replied, he almost choked when he said the last line, because he knew it was a complete lie.

Hou Tian rubbed his eyes

"R-Really?" Hou Tian revealed a clear smile

"Yes" Hou Dan Di nodded

Immediately, Hou Tian jumped up, but soon crouched down due to pain.

"Get the imperial doctors! My fourth son is injured!" Hou Dan Di roared as he had guards held Hou Tian go back to his room.

Inside his room, Hou Tian received immediate treatment...which was a single pill and his injuries healed immediately.

'Damn...this is the true benefits of being in a cultivation realm' He thought to himself

"Tired, I wanna sleep, everyone leave" After the treatment, Hou Tian pushed everyone out as he locked the doors and sat on his bed.

[Programming complete, system active]

[Start]

In front of Hou Tian, a [start] button appeared, he stared at it for a moment before he turned around.

"Nah, looks like a bother" He said

However, the button appeared again, when he turned to the side, a third button appeared...Hou Tian felt veins pop out of his forehead as he laid down and...slid below the button.

Once he did this, three more buttons appeared, one below, and two to the side.

"....."

Hou Tian raised is middle finger at the buttons

"F**k off" He growled

However, unexpectedly, a start button appeared above his finger, so when he flipped it off, it tapped the button...

'F*******K!' Hou Tian roared in his head

'This is every generic bullsh*t that happens to a transmigrator! No! I want to live a peaceful life! It draws attention if you have good gear\, it draws even more attention when you're talented! F**k!'

The button became red as texts ran across his eyes.

[Welcome host, and congratulations on meeting the requirements of the Devil system]

'I knew it! It's a f**king trap!' Hou Tian roared

'I'm not a damn devil!' He roared in his heart

Hou Tian stared at it for a few moments, he then saw the requirement, which was written below the congratulation text.

[Requirement:4/4]

[Conduct 4 evil acts]

'Huh?' Hou Tian was completely perplexed, evil acts? When has he conducted any evil acts? Since he got here, he merely acted how the fourth prince would act in every scenario!

[Act 1: Deceiving your own father]

'That's not something I can control! I had to f**king survive!' Hou Tian almost shouted out loud, almost flipping the bed.

[Act 2: Deceiving your own mother]

'That's the same f**king reason! Those two are cultivators! They'll kill me if they found out their son was replaced by me!' Hou Tian wanted to cry, this is just too much!

[Act 3: Torturing your maids and guards, tiring them to the point of exhaustion on your play day]

'That's still not my fault! Who'd have expected that their stamina is worse than mine! How would I know they'd be gasping for air! They're imperial guards for goodness’s sake!'

[Act 4: Acting like a green tea b*tch to gain your father's sympathy and causing your third brother to be locked away]

'He started that! If he didn't go near me, I wouldn't need to act like that! F**k! None of these are my fault!]

[I never expected to meet such an evil host, as expected of the person chosen by me, the devil system, I hope host will play the true role of a devil]

"I'm not a f**king devil!" Hou Tian roared, not even hiding it in his heart anymore, he was so damn angry that he wanted to smash the texts to bits, but was unable to.

[Good luck host]

Hou Tian started to pant out of sheer anger, this is too infuriating! He laid on the bed with a plank look on his face, he seriously hated this thing, from the moment it appeared, he didn't like it.

[As a starting gift, and reward for your evil actions, host is given the {Crouching Devil} technique and the {Devil Devourer} technique]

[Crouching Devil: Hides the user's breath and Qi, even a dragon needs to lay low sometimes, and once they do, even if a million people searches, no one can find you]

[Devil Devourer: A devil is easily hungry, so devour the surrounding Qi, so efficient that every beggar will want this technique, just so they never need to go hungry again]

Hou Tian's lips twitched as he stared at these techniques, the first one makes sense, but what's with the description of the second one? Even a beggar would want it? What type of description is that!?

These techniques seriously made him want to tear this system up even more, is it playing a joke on him or something?

"Fine, then how do I cultivate them?" He growled, deciding to give in to the inevitable

[Simple]

*Pomf*

In front of him, the text suddenly pomfed and a white cloud puffed out, once it dispersed, a small black ball with a face on it was revealed.

[Just whack me onto your head] The little black ball spoke with a confident smile

It had two little horns on the top, and a tiny devil tail behind it. Hou Tian grabbed it, just when the black ball thought Hou Tian was going to follow the instructions, it was met with the cold smile of Hou Tian.

"With this...I can beat the sh*t out of you, can't I?" He said with a smirk

[Um...V-Violence isn't condoned for the system]

Hou Tian chuckled

"So? I'm still going to do it" Hou Tian said with a cold smile as he raised a fist and slammed it down on

Five minutes later

[H-Host...pl-please just use me to learn the techniques, beating me won't do anything" The black ball was no longer round, it had large bumps all over it after Hou Tian's vicious beating.

Hou Tian sneered and did as he was told, he whacked the little thing onto his head and knowledge flowed into his head. He slowly gathered the information, and gradually, his presence became less noticeable. As if he was blending into the environment, he slowly faded.

After a while, his presence disappeared completely. His eyes opened, and once he did so, he appeared in his room again, as if he has always been there.

"Well, the crouching Devil is certainly a fine art, I can sneak out on my own without my guards following around, then, I can look around some more important places" Hou Tian smiled as he rubbed his chin.

He then turned to the other technique...after a while, he decided that it was better to learn it than to not. Once he began channelling the technique, he felt a strange warmth enter him, it ran through his body, and focused...in his stomach.

"F**k, this really is just something to prevent hunger, isn't it" He cursed, he was hoping it'd be a cultivation technique used to raise his own strength, who'd have expected that it's really just to prevent hunger!

He scrambled his hair as he sighed

"Forget it, I should just focus on getting this body into shape first, then find out more about this world, the original body's owner is such a fool, he couldn't even remember the basic cultivation realms of this world" He grumbled.

In the end, he stuck to his basic training and working out routine, and over time, his body improved drastically. Hou Tian spent a full month in researching the world and training, soon, he felt he understood enough of the world.

First, the cultivation realms of this world are split into meridian refinement, bone refinement, qi gathering, qi condensing, core formation, gold core and finally tribulation realm. Each of the stages is split into five minor realms.

Currently, the third prince is only at bone refinement two, the second prince, also known as a martial fanatic, is in the qi condensing realm four, as for his eldest brother, he was in core formation a year ago, as for now, no one knows aside from the emperor.

The emperor himself, is known to be in the peak of gold core realm, and many believes he is already in the tribulation realm, though it is unconfirmed.

Next is the region, the land ruled over by Hou Dan Di is known as the Earth dragon empire, one of the super nation of the five. The other is the Phoenix empire, Black water Xuan empire, the Tempest tiger empire, and finally the thunder blade empire.

Aside from these five super nations, there are some minor nations as well as major sects, with three that stand toe to toe with these five super nation.

The three being the Shadow blade sect, the Thunderclap sect and the Void channelling sect.

Hou Tian sighed as he closed the book in his hand.

"I haven't even started cultivation yet, and I can already see how damn far I am from it..." He sighed again and shook his head
