"Wang Dong, my father... He is an irresponsible person. Honestly, my father hurt my mother. He had relations with my mother and then had me, but the problem is he chose not to take responsibility. I have never seen what my father looks like; I've only seen his appearance in a portrait at home.
I have never spoken to my father. He did come home a few times, but he never saw my mother, as if my mother was just a woman to be enjoyed at any time, a prostitute... I know saying this might not be very good for my mother, but the problem is that in the eyes of that father of mine, my mother was probably just such a person, a courtesan woman who could be used for pleasure at any time.
So I really don't have any good feelings toward my father, and I swear I'm going to get revenge. I want to become a powerful Soul Master and mount a rebellion against my father, making him regret abandoning my mother and treating her that way. I want to make him understand that my mother isn't someone he can bully as he pleases."
During this period, Huo Yuhao also considered Wang Dong as someone he could chat with. Although not yet someone he could completely trust, he was someone with whom he could share a portion of his inner thoughts.
Huo Yuhao also hoped to pour out some of the words in his heart during this time.
Originally, Huo Yuhao's greatest hope was to talk about his inner thoughts and matters with Big Brother Beibei or Tang Ya, but the problem was that the two of them were not in the same class. Now, if Huo Yuhao wanted to talk, he could only speak with Wang Dong.
"Huo Yuhao... Although I don't know how to put it, based on what you've said, I feel like you might be an illegitimate noble child, right? Are you an illegitimate noble child? That kind of thing makes more sense. After all, ordinary families... don't seem like they'd have a child with a story like yours. Only nobles could have that."
At this moment, although Wang Dong's mind and soul were in a fragmented state, he could still analyze some details of Huo Yuhao's family life from his description, guessing that Huo Yuhao might be an illegitimate noble child.
This made complete sense. The White Tiger Duke was the former ruler of the Star Luo Empire, and the Dai Clan's martial soul was the White Tiger martial soul.
It was just that the Star Luo Empire was now ruled by the Xu Clan and the Star Crown Sect, so the White Tiger Duke was now a noble—or rather, the White Tiger Dai Clan was a noble, which made no difference.
"I really am an illegitimate noble child. My father is a noble, a noble from the Star Luo Empire, but the problem is that even as a noble, he shouldn't treat my mother like that. After enjoying another girl's body and having a child, the least he could do is take responsibility.
And my mother is no courtesan either; she's a commoner, neither a slave nor an outcast."
(Note: When I was reading history class, the teacher told me that commoners, outcasts, and slaves have a bit of a distinction in the nation's history. It's not very clear now, so if anyone points out an issue, just point it out and I'll modify it later.)
"Well... what you're saying does make sense. Even if your mother isn't a noble, she's still a common citizen. He enjoyed your mother's body and had a child with her, so he really ought to at least take responsibility."
"That's why I'm extremely angry. Why should my mother suffer such treatment? I suffer unfair treatment alone, but the problem is my mother suffers unfair treatment too. We were abused by the servants of the du... noble's estate, and the food we ate and clothes we wore were very poor.
That's why I'm so angry, and that's why I swear that when I get stronger, I'm going to destroy the noble estate and take revenge on my biological father."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had finally spoken his mind, but listening to such a story, Wang Dong should have felt that Huo Yuhao's biological father went too far and should have stood on Huo Yuhao's side. The problem, however, was that Wang Dong realized right then that the Sea God's seal was not pleased at this moment.
"Revenge is no good for a young man, especially when this person is your father. Having your eyes blinded by hatred is wrong."
This person was the Sea God Tang San, or rather, a strand of Tang San's Divine Sense split off inside Wang Dong's mind. Wang Dong was already beginning to be influenced at this moment.
"Huo Yuhao, no matter what, that person is still your father. Having your eyes blinded by hatred ultimately can't be very good."
"You..." At this moment, Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say. Indeed, this sentence also made a lot of sense; that person was his own father.
"Success! Guide him slowly, and eventually he'll completely become a servant of our Tang Clan!"
Tang San thought this to himself at that moment. Tang San was being a hypocrite here—back then, the conflict between his father Tang Hao, his mother, and Spirit Hall was also huge, so why didn't Tang San choose to give up his revenge on Spirit Hall? You must know that Tang San's Gold Soul Coin stipend and his martial soul awakening were both arranged with Spirit Hall's help.
It was Spirit Hall's policy; otherwise, relying on that irresponsible behavior of Tang Hao's, could someone like Tang San have become a Soul Master?
Without Spirit Hall, how could the two empires possibly be willing to issue Gold Soul Coin stipends to commoner Soul Masters? Without Spirit Hall, would the two empires be willing to awaken martial souls for commoner children? The fact was that in Peerless Tang Sect Part 2, without Spirit Hall, commoner children had no way to awaken their martial souls. There was a Title Douluo who only awakened his martial soul at age 18 simply because his family had no money and he had to wait until he was 18 and had enough money to awaken it.
Many commoner Soul Masters, having no way out, had no choice but to join the factions of those noble Soul Masters and act like dogs for them just to get a few more Gold Soul Coins to survive.
After destroying Spirit Hall, Tang San neither formulated a better replacement policy nor established corresponding institutional factions.
One could also say that Tang San was truly no good—both hypocritical and a scourge to Douluo Planet. Letting such a person become a god—whether as Asura or the Sea God—was simply blinding one's eyes.
Or rather, neither Asura nor the Sea God was anything good; they were the same kind of person as Tang San. Otherwise, why would they have chosen Tang San? Because none of them were good.
The God Realm was the same; most gods were no good, using any means necessary for their own individual interests. Only someone like the Destruction God King truly acted for the development of the God Realm.
Yet such an outstanding and upright God King ultimately died amidst Tang San's conspiracy. One could say that the entire developmental history of Douluo Continent, or rather Tang San's story, was a story of sucking other people's blood, eating human blood, and drinking human flesh.
