Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

"This is really not right. Although I am famous, I am just a rising star of the younger generation. I don't have enough influence to make these old fogies who are half-buried in the ground come out to watch me play."

That's because they're afraid.

Liu Erlong said in a deep voice, "You smashed up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory, which proves that you possess terrifying violence capable of shaking the three upper sects!"

"Furthermore, the Heaven Dou Self-Improvement Association you founded has always maintained a very close relationship with Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou royal family. Everyone is now worried about one thing—once you grow a few more years and break through to the Title Douluo realm, will you really help the Heaven Dou royal family to forcibly gather, or even completely control, the entire Soul Master world with absolute force?!"

Xuan Hao was stunned for a moment.

"You need to understand that the situation in the entire Soul Master world on the continent is extremely tense right now."

Tang Yuehua picked up the conversation and analyzed rationally, "The Spirit Hall is expanding wildly, and its ambitions are obvious. Those small and medium-sized sects and rogue cultivators either choose to bow down and submit to the Spirit Hall, or they choose to side with the alliance led by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in an attempt to curb the Spirit Hall's annexation."

"But now, your sudden emergence has directly shattered the fragile balance that the Soul Master world had been in!"

Tang Yuehua looked at Xuan Hao with a serious expression.

“You’re on the side of the Heaven Dou royal family. Your talent and strength are too outrageous, completely exceeding the scope of a normal Soul Master. Although you’re close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always openly favored the Heaven Dou royal family.”

"Therefore, all the forces outside are now filled with suspicion. They suspect that in another ten or twenty years, once you have fully grown your power, will these three forces unite completely and, in the name of the royal family, carry out a bloody reshuffle and takeover of the entire Soul Master world?"

Liu Erlong added, "The reason why everyone was against the expansion of the Spirit Hall was simply because most spirit masters yearned for freedom at heart. Everyone worked hard to cultivate and become stronger because they didn't want to be constrained by various rules and regulations. However, the Spirit Hall wanted to treat all spirit masters like an army and centrally command them, so naturally everyone was unwilling."

"But now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family, who were originally regarded as a counterbalancing force, suddenly have an extra henchman like you! There are even rumors that you might join forces with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to undermine the Heaven Dou Royal Family?"

"Using the righteous cause of imperial power, coupled with your unreasonable and exaggerated violence, we will directly incorporate the entire Soul Master community of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Chapter 361 You can't beat me, so you talk to me about rules? Xuan Hao: There's no such thing as a free lunch!

……

Hearing this, Xuan Hao finally understood.

"To serve the emperor and punish the disloyal?"

"Correct."

Tang Yuehua nodded, a deep worry in her eyes. "That's what everyone is afraid of right now."

"And I was terrified!"

Tang Yuehua sighed, "In the past, although there were frictions and battles among the Soul Masters, there were always some unspoken rules and bottom lines. After all, everyone had their own families, sects, and vulnerabilities to consider. If things really went too far, no one could guarantee that their descendants wouldn't face crazy retaliation a hundred years from now."

But you are different.

Tang Yuehua looked at Xuan Hao and said, "In their investigation, you were like someone who popped out of thin air from a crack in a rock. You have no background, no family, and they couldn't even find out your true background or lineage."

"Your behavior is so unrestrained, driven entirely by your mood, that you even dare to disregard the rules of the three upper sects."

"A madman with the power to overturn the continent's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the continent), yet without any attachments or bottom lines... Everyone is afraid, afraid that one day you will really wield your terrifying violence against them at will!"

Xuan Hao nodded in agreement after listening.

"Their concerns are indeed very valid."

Xuanhao picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of water.

"If I were them, watching an uncontrollable monster rise up that could overturn the table at any moment, I would also be so scared that I couldn't sleep all night."

"But what's the use of just worrying here?"

"Since they're so afraid of me, and since they're convinced that I'll eventually take over the entire Soul Master world and even usurp the royal family, shouldn't their most important task right now be to unite and swarm me to kill me before I completely break through to the Title Douluo level?"

Xuan Hao shrugged. "Sneaking around in the stands like a thief, staring at me like that, are you trying to kill me with your glare?"

Tang Yuehua was utterly speechless.

She rolled her eyes in annoyance and looked at Xuan Hao: "Do you think that's possible?"

"They don't want to kill you? They simply can't, and they don't dare to!"

"First of all, just from what's obvious, you have a Poison Douluo standing behind you who will absolutely support you! Who is Dugu Bo? He's the lone wolf recognized in the Soul Master world, a crazy old man who can slaughter a city at the drop of a hat!"

"If something happens to you, who can guarantee that Dugu Bo won't go crazy? Who would be willing to risk the lives of their entire family to gamble on the bottom line of an old poisoner?"

"Secondly, there's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How sharp is that old fox Ning Fengzhi's eye? He even dumped his most precious only daughter, the future heir of the sect, Ning Rongrong, directly on you, and she's hanging out with you every day!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's stance leaves no room for further options. Anyone who tries to harm you is targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future son-in-law, and will simultaneously face the wrath of two top-tier powerhouses, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo!"

"In addition, the Heavenly Dou royal family, Xue Qinghe has spared no effort in trying to win you over."

At this point, Tang Yuehua sighed and gave Xuan Hao a strange look.

"Finally, and most fatally."

"In the eyes of the entire continent, behind you lies a hidden family of unfathomable strength, one that even the Spirit Hall fears!"

"How could a monster who possesses a 100,000-year soul ring at the age of fifteen or sixteen appear out of thin air? There must be a peerless Douluo-level expert protecting you behind you!"

Tang Yuehua rubbed her temples. "Although those of us who are by your side know in our hearts that the so-called reclusive family is just an empty shell that you made up out of thin air, those outside don't know that!"

"If they can't find out your background, they'll be more convinced that the rumor is true. Fear of the unknown is the most dangerous shield."

Listening to Tang Yuehua's analysis, Liu Erlong nodded and took over the conversation.

"Yuehua is right."

"Those old fogies outside, stirring up trouble, and those so-called loose cultivator alliances—to put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of rabble hastily put together for their own interests!"

"Right now, everyone's mindset is that they want to take action, but they absolutely dare not be the first to do so."

"Taking action would be extremely risky and troublesome. If a so-called demon-slaying alliance were to besiege you, who would lead the charge? Who would withstand your first wave of attacks?"

"What if, as the fighting goes on, we realize they're too tough, and everyone just runs away? Who wants to risk their life here and become someone else's pawn?"

"Even if we assume they really have the guts to make a move, they'd still need the capability to do so!"

"With your terrifying strength—the ability to kick down the gates of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and utterly crush the sect's experts in front of Yu Yuanzhen—in today's Soul Master world, only a true Title Douluo could personally intervene, or a suicide squad of Soul Douluos could overwhelm you..."

"Nobody can think of any other way to kill you!"

Liu Erlong shrugged. "Ordinary Soul Saints can't even break through your defenses in your current state. No matter how many come, they're just easy prey for you. They'll only be slaughtered by you, which is pointless."

"So, this is a complete dead end."

Tang Yuehua looked at Xuan Hao: "They can't beat you, and they don't dare to touch you. They can only hide in the shadows and bark at you, spreading your threat theory to each other, suffering day and night in fear and suspicion."

The courtyard fell silent.

A gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, making the leaves whisper in the wind.

"Since it's a dead end, then it has nothing to do with me."

Xuan Hao leaned against a large tree with his legs crossed.

"They can't sleep, they're filled with anxiety, and that's their own fault."

"This world is inherently a game for the strong."

“In the past, they were the powerful. They had the backing of sects and families, and controlled resources and the power of discourse. Therefore, they set the rules of the game in this world.”

"In order to suppress dissent, they can arbitrarily label others as heretics; in order to seize a piece of soul bone, they can unhesitatingly wipe out an innocent village."

"Back then, why didn't they talk about rules? Why didn't they say that everyone was fighting for freedom?"

"Because they are at the top of the food chain, they are the rules!"

Xuan Hao stood up. "But now, times have changed."

“From now on, I am stronger than all of them. I possess absolute brute force; I have the power to overturn the entire chessboard.”

"Then, naturally, I should set the rules for the game from now on!"

"I can play however I want."

"When I'm in a good mood, I'll let them keep jumping around on stage like clowns; when I'm in a bad mood, I'll just uproot their entire sect with one punch."

Xuan Hao turned his head and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, and said coldly:

"This is what they have been doing for the past few hundred or even several thousand years."

"Just because the tables have turned and they've become the weaker, more subservient party... doesn't mean they'll suddenly change their tune and start standing on the moral high ground, spouting nonsense about prioritizing justice and the unwritten rules of the underworld, right?"

Xuan Hao shrugged:

"You can't beat me, so you start trying to reason with me and talk about rules?"

"Where in the world is there such a cheap deal?"

Chapter 362 Waiting for You at the Finals Arena

……

Night falls.

Soft soul-guiding lamps were lit in the main hall of the villa.

After a long separation, Xuan Hao did not rush to leave, but stayed to have dinner with Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong.

After the meal, he took the initiative to "serve" them, pulling the two women into the inner room and giving them a thorough full-body massage.

Xuan Hao knew very well that they were different from teenage girls like Ning Rongrong and Na'er.

Young girls have active brain cells, and they can sustain a relationship for a long time with just a few romantic fantasies.

But mature women are more realistic. Without real physical sensations and intimate contact, long-distance separation can cause their feelings to gradually fade away.

As Xuan Hao's hands, imbued with the warmth of blood and energy, kneaded and massaged their voluptuous bodies, the fatigue and resentment accumulated over a year instantly vanished.

This intimate physical contact not only quickly rekindled long-dormant feelings, but Xuanhao also deliberately controlled the boundaries, refraining from truly crossing the final line.

Although the atmosphere was a bit sticky and everyone was blushing, it remained within a safe range.

The two mature women were so exhausted from being massaged that they finally fell into a deep sleep, their faces full of moisture and satisfaction.

After settling the two in, Xuan Hao quietly left the villa and returned to the presidential suite of the Tian Dou Royal Hotel under the cover of night.

As soon as I opened the door, the living room was brightly lit.

Na'er, Ning Rongrong, and the others returned from the Soul Arena early and were now sitting on the sofa chatting.

Xuan Hao looked around and raised an eyebrow: "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince? Didn't he come over for dinner tonight?"

Na'er sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a washed apple in her hand. She couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the noise.
