"Hou Yuhao, I really don't understand why you carried this dagger around with you at the academy. This should count as a dangerous weapon, right? We're all students at the academy, so why carry a weapon on you? Besides, this weapon isn't even that powerful. It's not much use."
Wang Dong voiced his curiosity at that moment, but after hearing those words, Huo Yuhao found the torment in his heart unbearable.
Huo Yuhao was still someone who wanted revenge. He knew that this dagger had been given to his mother by that irresponsible man—the man who had enjoyed his mother's body and then casually abandoned her. He was truly furious and deeply hated the White Tiger Duke.
Huo Yuhao truly wanted revenge against the White Tiger Duke Mansion. He even wanted to completely destroy it. He wanted to kill everyone, including those in the White Tiger Duke Mansion who had bullied his mother—the Duchess, the Duke Mansion's soldiers, and even their relatives.
Simply put, he wanted to wipe out the nine clans of everyone who had helped the White Tiger Duchess bully Huo Yun'er back then.
Huo Yuhao had suffered immensely, no less than the protagonists of many modern urban novels.
The male leads of those urban novels had miserable lives—for instance, living in doghouses or rooms not even servants would live in, eating food they were allergic to. Huo Yuhao had experienced all of that too. His circumstances were no better than those protagonists'.
So it was understandable that he wanted revenge against the White Tiger Duke Mansion. The problem was that Tang San, in order to control Huo Yuhao more effectively, chose to make him forgive the White Tiger Duke Mansion. That was truly absurd.
What was even more absurd was that Huo Yuhao later chose to immerse himself in romance. He should have been taking revenge properly, but what did he do? He went off to fall in love. Then, at the finale, when he should have taken revenge, exposed the truth, ruthlessly mocked White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and made that man pay the price—or made his two half-brothers pay the price—
In the end, he still chose forgiveness. Tang San's dog-like education of Huo Yuhao was truly impressive. He successfully brainwashed him, which was almost worthy of admiration.
Later, he was supposed to be responsible for finding the other fragments of his teacher Electrolux's Divine Sense, but he forgot about that too. It was truly speechless.
That was why many fanfics wrote Tang San as the final villain: because he did not do human things.
And the things he did later only became more and more outrageous, which led to the birth of anti-Tang San fanfics.
There were also fanfics that tortured Huo Yuhao, because these two protagonists had contributed so many frustrating plotlines and infuriating scenes. That was also why so many people rebelled against Tang San as soon as they transmigrated into Peerless Douluo or the first part of Douluo Continent.
If Douluo Continent had only had one installment, perhaps no one would have said much about Tang San. After all, it was a fantasy world. But fantasy worlds themselves had plenty of pitfalls, such as the plots in other works or certain exchanges of interests. Those things existed to begin with. If Douluo Continent had only been one installment, Tang San probably would not have seemed particularly bad. At most, he would have been a standard fantasy-novel protagonist.
Not a good person, but revenge was understandable.
The problem was that Tang San had clearly already become a god, yet what did he do? He harmed Douluo Continent and even made his parents the plane's rulers and the core of life. Yet he still did not benefit the continent. Instead, he introduced the Abyss, causing an unknown number of deaths on Douluo Continent.
He clearly had Soul Beast bloodline as well, and Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, also had a Soul Beast bloodline. Yet neither of them helped the Soul Beasts. It was truly absurd—eating from the Soul Beasts' bowl while smashing their pot.
Huo Yuhao had clearly enjoyed many benefits from Soul Beasts too, yet he did not choose to stand up for them. Instead, he created the Soul Spirit system. This system should indeed have been able to ease the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, but in the end it still harmed the Soul Beasts. It could be said that Xiong Jun had judged things accurately.
None of the four protagonists in the Douluo series were good people. Tang Wulin had some character, but later he learned bad habits too. After learning what his parents had done, he did not state his position, expose everything, or offer any meaningful help. Gu Yuena was left to mediate the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts. It could be said that none of the four protagonists amounted to much.
Basically, they appeared to be good people, waved the banner of justice, yet did the most disgusting things.
"This was given to me by my mother. It was what my mother left me. At the same time, it was left behind by the person who hurt my mother—the thing he gave her. I hate that person, but this is the only thing my mother left me. I can only keep it. I don't know whether I should throw it away or keep it."
At that moment, Huo Yuhao more or less confessed some of his experiences, though he did not reveal everything. He felt that even if he said it, Wang Dong would not be able to help him. After all, the person involved was the White Tiger Duke, the God of War of the Star Luo Empire!
Even if Wang Dong had some background, it might not be as formidable as an empire. After all, the Star Luo Empire was the nation with the strongest overall national strength among the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
However, in terms of Soul Master combat strength, it was inferior to the Heaven Dou Empire. The Heaven Dou Empire had won over the Body Sect, and with a level-98 Title Douluo there, the Star Luo Empire truly could not gain the upper hand.
Still, the Star Luo Empire's overall national strength remained second only to the Sun Moon Empire, so Huo Yuhao did not reveal the details.
"The person who hurt your mother... couldn't have been your father, could it?" Wang Dong did not know what he should say at that moment. His memories of his own parents were vague; he only had Big Uncle and Second Uncle.
Wang Dong did not know why his memories of his parents were so vague. If he learned what kind of people his parents were, he would probably collapse. After all, was splitting one's own daughter's soul something a human being could do?
In fact, many readers were also curious about why Tang San had ruthlessly split his own daughter's soul. She was the daughter born to the woman he loved, yet he split her soul for the sake of some so-called greater good. Wasn't that far too absurd?
That was why many people claimed that Tang Wutong might not be Tang San's biological daughter. Otherwise, why would Tang Wutong's martial soul be the Light Goddess Butterfly?
Something was very wrong about that. It was far too absurd, so many people speculated about what had happened during the process. But the problem was that Third Young Master stubbornly refused to budge, so there was nothing they could say.
