Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

……

Huo Wu looked at Xuan Hao and remained silent for a long time.

She couldn't find a single word to refute it.

Because every word Xuan Hao spoke was a stark, bloody truth.

Her mind was actually filled with the grand principles taught by her college teachers, such as "diligence can make up for lack of talent" and "human determination can overcome nature".

But at this moment, all these grand words were stuck in his throat.

Faced with Xuan Hao's stark and realistic arguments, those grand principles seemed utterly pale, even reeking of laughable hypocrisy.

However, she was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"What about the others?"

Huo Wu gritted her teeth and couldn't help but ask.

"Besides you, the other girls in the Royal Fighting Team 2 are ridiculously strong. I watched their matches, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and that Zhu Zhuqing... They're all about my age, or even younger than me, so how come they're so good?"

"You're a monster, fine, but are they all one-in-a-million monsters too?"

Xuan Hao looked at her as if she were an idiot, and remained silent for a moment.

"Didn't I already make myself clear? Why are you asking such nonsense?"

Xuan Hao leaned back on the sofa and said irritably, "How is their situation any different from the theory I just mentioned?"

"They come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Dugu family, and the Star Luo Noble Family. This is called having a good innate martial soul and high talent."

Xuan Hao shrugged. "As for why they are now far ahead of their peers... it's because they were lucky to meet me."

“I happen to have a bunch of amazing things that can transform people, and I happen to be willing to give them to them. After consuming the resources I provided, their martial souls evolved, and their soul power skyrocketed, so they have now become monsters in your eyes.”

"It's still the same old story: talent plus luck. They were just lucky to get on my good side, that's all."

Upon hearing these words, Huo Wu's expression instantly became extremely unnatural.

She sat blankly on the sofa, her eyes gradually losing focus.

If she could feel a little better knowing that Xuan Hao's strength was due to his being a mutated monster, she could accept it.

But now we know that even the strength of those girls in the Royal Fighting Team 2 was merely because they "had good luck in meeting Xuan Hao"...

Huo Wu's mentality completely collapsed.

She suddenly felt that all her years of tireless cultivation and countless hours of sweat shed under the scorching sun for a single soul skill were nothing but a complete joke!

Others could easily erase her years of hard work and cultivation by simply meeting a benefactor and eating some good food, and even leave her far behind.

So what's the point of her working so hard?

Just as Huo Wu fell into deep self-doubt and her eyes gradually became empty and desperate.

A dark shadow flashed before my eyes.

"Snapped!"

A sharp, resounding flick landed mercilessly on Huo Wu's forehead.

"hiss--!"

Huo Wu winced in pain, suddenly clutching her forehead to regain her senses, tears welling in her eyes. She glared angrily at Xuan Hao, who had returned to his seat.

"What kind of nonsense are you thinking about now?"

Xuan Hao looked at her speechlessly, "What? After hearing the truth, you feel unbalanced? You think the world is too dark, and that God has been unfair to you?"

Huo Wu didn't speak, but her red eyes and aggrieved expression gave the answer.

"Please, can you stop being so dramatic?"

Xuan Hao scoffed, "When has God ever been fair?"

"You, Huo Wu, were born to be the young lady of Blazing Fire Academy. You have been pampered since childhood, with the best teachers and the most advanced simulated cultivation environment. You have never had to risk your life against soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest for a single gold soul coin."

Xuan Hao stared at her, "When you're enjoying resources that ordinary commoner soul masters could never access in several lifetimes, why don't you stand up and cry out about the injustice of God?"

"What? Now that you've suddenly encountered a few people who are luckier than you, have stronger backers, and are more talented than you, and they beat you up, you can't take it anymore? You're starting to think that God is targeting you?"

"Everything in this world has been unfair from the very beginning!"

"If we're talking about absolute fairness, then this world shouldn't even exist!"

“Go and look at the slums on the mainland. How many people die from hunger and disease right after they are born, before they even have a chance to see the world? Do you think that's fair to them?”

"If we want absolute fairness, then we might as well all die in the womb, and no one should live. That would be the fairest thing to do!"

Huo Wu's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lip tightly.

She understood the logic; everything Xuan Hao said made sense. But…

"I know you're right."

Huo Wu's voice trembled slightly, and tears finally streamed down her face. "But... I just feel so sad."

"What's so distressing about this?"

Xuan Hao rolled his eyes. "That's not called feeling upset, that's just pure jealousy. You're jealous that they're luckier than you, jealous that they met me, jealous that they so easily obtained the power you've always dreamed of."

Xuan Hao tilted his body and lay down on the large sofa.

"There's nothing shameful about this, it's perfectly normal."

Xuan Hao propped his head up with one hand and looked at Huo Wu, "Because, I'm jealous of you guys too."

Huo Wu froze abruptly as she wiped away her tears.

She looked up in astonishment, forgetting even to cry: "You...are jealous of us?"

A peerless, ruthless god who tramples all the geniuses on the continent underfoot, a monster with a 100,000-year soul ring, actually says he's jealous of her?

Is that strange?

Xuan Hao lay on his side, gazing into the void. His voice, which had been sharp just moments before, now carried a deep darkness and weariness.

"Everything you are born with as a matter of course, I have to rely on all sorts of life-risking schemes to barely obtain."

"You think I'm strong and that I'm superior. But what you see is just a facade I use to disguise myself."

“I am far from being as carefree and optimistic as you appear on the surface. On the contrary, my inner self is actually very twisted, you could even say I am a complete pervert.”

Huo Wu listened blankly, even softening her breathing.

"Because I want everything, but I'm also jealous of everything."

Xuan Hao's voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

“I envy others who can be pampered by their parents from a young age and live a life of luxury; while I have to fight for food with wild dogs in the mud, without even a piece of clothing to cover myself, and my stomach cramps from hunger every day.”

“I’m jealous of others who receive unconditional love and kindness from a young age; but what about me? Everything I want, including the so-called relationships around me now, I have to scheme, coerce, and entice to get it.”

"I don't trust anyone, and I don't think anyone would love me for no reason."

Xuan Hao slowly closed his eyes.

"So, I'm jealous of everything and can't stand anything. When I see others have things I don't have, I have an urge deep down to destroy them all."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop as he spoke.

Huo Wu looked at Xuan Hao, who was lying on his side on the sofa, and suddenly felt that the man in front of her was like a madman standing on the edge of a cliff.

"The me you see in the ring is violent, cruel, and merciless."

Xuan Hao opened his eyes again, and within those azure eyes swirled a chilling undercurrent.

"Do you think that was something I put on to establish my authority?"

No. That's my true self.

"Because there are many times when I see you glamorous, self-important geniuses..."

"I really want to smash this disgusting world to pieces."

Chapter 351 You can still live in front of a madman like me: Xuan Hao: Isn't that amazing?

……

The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

Huo Wu looked at Xuan Hao, who was lying on his side on the sofa with an unfathomable look in his eyes, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out from her back.

She originally thought Xuan Hao was just a peerless genius with great strength and a domineering personality.

Only at this moment did she vaguely touch the desolate, twisted, and even destructive abyss deep within this man's heart.

He is not a lofty god; he is a vicious wolf who fought his way out of the mud and harbors hostility and envy towards the whole world.

Seeing Huo Wu's slightly pale and somewhat frightened face, the dark current in Xuan Hao's eyes gradually subsided.

He rolled over, sat up again, picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and resumed his previous lazy and casual demeanor.

"Alright, stop looking at me like that, questioning the meaning of life."

Xuan Hao put down his water glass and said indifferently, "Don't overthink it. Because no matter how much you think about it, you can't change any established facts. It's useless except for trapping yourself in endless pain and entanglement."

"Instead of wasting so much time on internal conflicts and questioning the meaning of life, you might as well do something you truly enjoy."

Xuan Hao looked at her and said, "From childhood to adulthood, have you been living for the honor of Blazing Fire Academy, for the face of your family, and to live up to the title of genius that others talk about?"

Huo Wu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Absolutely stupid."

Xuan Hao commented mercilessly, "Don't always live in other people's eyes. Life is very short. You will grow old and die sooner or later. When you are about to close your eyes, you will look back at your past self and you will definitely think how stupid you were."

"You've never lived a single day for yourself, never truly enjoyed a moment of happiness. You've wasted your life."

Huo Wu opened her mouth, trying to argue: "But, a person who doesn't plan for the future will have immediate worries. As a Soul Master, if you don't consider the future..."

"Don't try to fob me off with such cheesy and pretentious talk."

Xuan Hao interrupted her directly, "Don't always think about the future or tomorrow. If you can't even live well today, what right do you have to plan for the future?"

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow again, how many tomorrows are there?"
