Sign-In in Douluo Dalu.

Chapter 393.

As soon as the words were spoken, Hu Yanzhen and his group were left stunned.

They hadn't expected the White Pontiff to be so direct. It was almost as if he got straight to the point without any hesitation. No polite formalities, no pleasantries—he went straight into the matter at hand. Hu Yanzhen was momentarily taken aback.

If this were a leader from another faction daring to speak to him in such a manner, he would've slapped them across the face without a second thought. But the one before him was none other than the White Pontiff from the Soul Hall who is just below the Supreme Pontiff in status! Not just any dick and harry, but a very unique one presence!

The White Pontiff's bold and unconventional demeanor left Hu –Yanzhen feeling disoriented. There was no room to breathe, and the situation felt chaotic. There was nothing he could do to control the situation. Wang Feng's personality, in his role as the White Pontiff, was like this. He had to maintain his character. If he gave in to provocation now, it would be beneath his dignity as the White Pontiff, Wang Wu.

Since his time at the Supreme Pontiff's Palace, Wang Feng had been playing his role to perfection. As inconvenient as it was, he had to act, as a spy… A casual remark from an ordinary person would be considered disgraceful, but if spoken with authority and strength, it would take on a completely different meaning.

It was like when an emperor declares, "I will conquer the world." The impact is far different than if an ordinary man made the same claim.

At that moment, it was clear that Hu Yanzhen was overwhelmed.

Thomas and Hu Liena, standing behind, watched with wide eyes, clearly impressed.

Hu Yanzhen's gaze was fixed on the White Pontiff. He couldn't help but feel the overwhelming presence of the man before him, as if an invisible dragon were poised to swallow everyone in the room.

Realizing this, Hu Yanzhen silently acknowledged that the White Pontiff chosen by the church was no ordinary person.

After a brief pause, Hu Yanzhen let out a cold snort and said, "My Lord White Pontiff, the Elephant Sect has been passed down through generations. We are not a small clan. For you to ask us The Elephant Sect, to submit to the Soul Hall…"

Before he could finish, Wang Feng waved his hand and cut him off. "Enough with the nonsense! Just get to the point!"

Hu Yanzhen's face flushed with embarrassment. He could feel his aura being completely suppressed by the White Pontiff's presence. With a deep sigh, he said, "I have two conditions. First, if you can break through my defense in two moves, I will submit to the White Pontiff. Second, my son, Hu Yanli, has an issue with his martial soul. I have sought out many masters, but none could resolve it. If you can find a solution, I will surrender to you."

Both of Hu Yanzhen's conditions were critical.

The first concerned the honor of his sect, while the second was about the preservation of his sect's legacy. Among the seven great sects, the Elephant Armored Sect was renowned for its formidable defense, making it famous across the continent for its defensive prowess.

An Elephant Armored Sect powerhouse at over level eighty could easily withstand an attack from a Title Douluo, which speaks volumes about its defensive strength.

Now, with Hu Yanzhen at level 89, his defense is nearly unbreakable, even by a standard Title Douluo. Not to mention that breaking it in two moves is out of the question.

Even among the Title Douluos of the Soul Hall, few could breach Hu Yanzhen's defense with certainty! Only the Sword Douluo, known for his offensive prowess, could confidently break through his defense in one move.

Take the Snake Lance Douluo or Ghost Douluo, for instance—none of them could breach his defenses, with two moves.

A few seconds later, Wang Feng responded, "Hurry up, I'm in a rush."

Hu Yanzhen was taken aback. The White Pontiff, even though he possessed the strength of a Title Douluo, was this confident? 

Bibi Dong hadn't mentioned anything about the six Title Douluos in the Supreme Pontiff's Palace, but none of them knew what was about to happen.

Without hesitation, Hu Yanzhen walked toward an open space in the distance and summoned his martial soul—the Diamond Mammoth.

Wang Feng had seen the Diamond Mammoth during the previous qualifiers, but Hu Yanzhen, as the Sect Master, was no ordinary fighter. 

His Diamond Mammoth martial soul was nearly solidified, standing at a height of six or seven meters. It resembled an ancient mammoth, glowing with brilliant diamond light, exuding an indestructible aura like an impenetrable city wall.

Hu Yanzhen let out a powerful roar, unleashing his martial soul true form. Eight soul rings lit up, signaling his full power.

Of the eight, seven abilities were related to defense, each one enhancing his durability.

The final black soul ring splashed the Diamond Mammoth with black and gold, further enhancing its hardness.

With his martials soul fully manifested and all abilities activated, Hu Yanzhen's defense was formidable, rivaling that of Bone Douluo, a renowned defensive powerhouse.

But Bone Douluo was a level 96 Super Douluo.

Despite being a defensive specialist, Bone Douluo also possessed impressive offensive capabilities and abilities that weren't purely focused on defense.

On the other hand, Hu Yanzhen relied purely on raw strength and defense.

Roaring once again, Hu Yanzhen's Diamond Mammoth stomped its feet on the ground, causing a violent tremor to ripple across the area.

"Truly impressive," Wang Feng thought, nodding slightly.

The opponent's defense was undeniably strong. Without the Pangu Axe, Wang Feng doubted that the God Killing Spear would be enough to break through, even in his full state.

But as the White Pontiff, he couldn't use the God Killing Spear. Breaking through the defense wasn't impossible, however.

In fact, it could be done with relative ease.

After all, Wang Feng possessed the Universe Divine Light!

Without the fifth soul ability, the Universe Divine Light, Wang Feng would have no way to counter Hu Yanzhen.

Without it, two moves wouldn't even scratch the surface of his defense.

But now, Wang Feng was confident.

As the opponent prepared, Wang Feng calmly spread his hands. The Qiankun Cauldron materialized before him, emitting a brilliant scarlet light.

The light from the 100,000-year soul ring dazzled those around him.

Colorful rays of light emerged from the cauldron, falling directly on the Diamond Mammoth.

Hu Yanzhen didn't even have time to react. He let out a sharp grunt as his face drained of color.

He turned on his Martial Soul True Body, sensing his own power rapidly diminishing.

The feeling was incredibly uncomfortable—his strength was draining away at an alarming rate.

Before he could fully comprehend what was happening, the Diamond Mammoth began to shrink at an astonishing pace.

Various enhancements began –to fade like a retreating tide. He was shocked.

What kind of ability was this?

He knew that his eighth soul ability, Black Steel Diamond Light, granted him temporary immunity to defensive weakening effects.

It was a powerful defensive skill designed to prevent weakening effects from nullifying his defense.

Naturally, he had taken this into account.

But now, that colorful divine light wasn't just a defense-weakened effect—it was something far beyond he had estimated!

"Is it degrading the quality of my martial soul?" he thought in shock.

In an instant, the massive Golden Diamond Mammoth—once ten meters tall—had shrunk to less than two meters in height, now resembling a baby elephant.

The violent loss of strength made Hu Yanzhen unable to adapt, and all his soul abilities seemed to lose their effect.
