Sign-In in Douluo Dalu.

Chapter 479.

With that final clash—Yu Yuanzhen's ultimate soul ability—–Wang Feng had managed to follow through.

And for Ning Fengzhi, this entire battle had been nothing short of shocking.

Even Wang Feng himself felt a bit moved by the experience.

Combining the 'Former-Word Secret Technique' and the [Slow World] state, Wang Feng had developed the ability to predict openings and battle flow. While not a complete foresight into the opponent's future moves, it granted him a subtle sense of premonition. This ability allowed him to dodge even Titled Douluo-level attacks, especially the strange and deceptive ones.

This battle also gave him a deeper understanding of just how powerful Titled Douluo really were.

Unlike the eerie, tricky martial soul of Phantom Death Douluo, which was completely suppressed by his Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul True Body possessed overwhelming force and clarity.

That, to Wang Feng, was true power.

The kind of martial soul that embodied raw strength and majesty.

 "Father, are you alright?" Grandmaster and Liu Erlong rushed over to check on Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine. I admit defeat. Tang San, I keep my word—my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will support the Tang Sect!"

Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but smile. With Brother Feng backing them, there truly was hope to unite the three great sects!

"This kid is truly extraordinary," Yu Yuanzhen said, turning to look at Wang Feng in admiration. "I can't even imagine what strength he'll reach once he becomes a Titled Douluo himself."

In truth, Wang Feng had sustained some injury during that final exchange. Yu Yuanzhen's last move—a seven-ring fusion technique empowered by the natural forces of heaven and earth—was too strong to face head-on. Normally, Wang Feng wouldn't have been able to overpower it.

But thanks to the Star Core ability to double the potency of any soul ability used, which enhanced the red lotus's power by 100%, he managed to secure victory.

 "Old man Yu's injuries are special," Wang Feng explained, glancing at Ning Fengzhi.

"Only my Golden Lotus can truly heal them. At best, others can only seal the wounds temporarily—they won't actually heal."

Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully. "So that's why those two Titled Douluo injured by you five years ago... their strength has dropped ever since. Now it all makes sense."

Wang Feng was still fascinated by Yu Yuanzhen's ability to draw upon the heaven and earth's thunderous power. That kind of battle philosophy was new to him, and he found it deeply interesting.

He hadn't expected this journey across the continent to lead to so many changes.

 "Uncle Ning, what do you say?" Ma Hongjun chimed in with a grin. "Now that Elder Yu supports our Tang Sect, how about you too? I mean, after all... Rongrong is..."

He trailed off, smirking–.

"I don't mind supporting the Tang Sect," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. "But let's make it interesting. I'll give you two choices."

"One—defeat both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo at the same time."

"Two—make your stance clear about Rongrong."

He paused, then added, "Simple, right? Which do you choose?"

The group fell into silence.

"Dad, what are you saying?!" Ning Rongrong blushed furiously. "Why are you bringing me into this?! This has nothing to do with me—I don't agree!"

Wang Feng: "..."

It was an obvious trap. Defeating both Sword and Bone Douluo together? That was like picking hell mode. Only if Wang Feng used all his trump cards might it be possible.

Clearly, Ning Fengzhi wanted him to choose the second option. In other words, he was subtly trying to tie Wang Feng to his daughter with a public declaration.

Wang Feng could see through it instantly.

And so—he smiled righteously.

"I choose the first one," he said boldly. "Uncle Ning, Rongrong is right. How can you bring her into this like that? Are you treating her like a bargaining chip in negotiations? She's a person—a wonderful young woman not an object to be traded around!"

"I, Wang Feng, am not that kind of man. I firmly disagree!"

Everyone: "..."

Ning Rongrong opened her mouth to protest—she wanted to ask why he didn't just choose the easier option—but as she listened to his words, she felt deeply moved.

Even Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.

He had expected to force Wang Feng's hand. But this kid… was still so upright and principled?

He stared at Wang Feng, a bit stunned.

"This kid... is a real piece of work."

Ambitious, honest, and charismatic. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this might really be the best man his daughter could ever find.

He glanced at Rongrong, and as a father, he knew—this girl had already given her heart away.

He sighed quietly. "Let them be."

At least this boy truly cared for his daughter.

 "Alright then, kid," Sword Douluo chuckled. "Rest up for a few days. The old bone and I won't go easy on you. You refused to take the easy path and now you'll have to cross the single-plank bridge!"

Beside him, Bone Douluo let out a raspy laugh.

The real trial was just beginning.

Tang San silently reflected to himself—'Wasn't Brother Feng actually trying to rely on his own strength to gain the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect? After all, expecting Ning Fengzhi to support the Tang Sect simply because of his relationship with Ning Rongrong… that would be hard to accept for a real man.'

That would be like… living off a woman.

Honestly, Wang Feng didn't want to take the harder path either. He wasn't sure he could beat Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo with his current strength. But when he thought about it, he always felt a pair of eyes… quietly watching him.

So, in the end, he chose the more difficult path.

After the duel, everyone gathered to discuss the next steps.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing both pledged their support to the Tang Sect. Dai Mubai himself had little interest in the throne of the Star Luo Empire, but they still needed to return there to settle matters officially–. So they planned a trip back to the empire.

As for the Grandmaster and the teachers, they still had responsibilities at Shrek Academy. While they wouldn't officially join the Tang Sect for now, they were fully aligned in spirit. Training the next generation was their way of resisting the Soul Hall.

Even though Ning Fengzhi hadn't made a formal commitment, in truth, thanks to Rongrong's relationship with Wang Feng and the overall circumstances, his heart already leaned toward supporting the Tang Sect.

After the discussion wrapped up, Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi departed first.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo spoke up, "Hey, little maniac, I've actually got some news."

Everyone turned to him.

"Xue Qinghe heard that you're still alive," he continued, looking at Wang Feng. "He's planning to visit, and he sent me ahead to check the situation. Just giving you a heads-up."

"I've mostly settled my debts with the royal family," Dugu Bo added. "If the Tang Sect can get support from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, it would be a huge advantage. But be careful around Xue Qinghe… Something about that guy feels off to me."

Then he turned to Tang San with a sly smile.

"And you, little monster… I know you're planning to recruit me into the Tang Sect."

Tang San scratched his head but smiled sheepishly.

"But I have no problem with it," Dugu Bo said calmly. "My daughter's already engaged to Yu Tianheng, and I have ties with Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Since they're supporting you, I naturally have no objections either."

Tang San blinked in surprise for a second—then grinned.

The poison in Dugu Yan had already been cured long ago, and she and Yu Tianheng had always been close. Now, their engagement made things even more official.

After leaving those final words, Dugu Bo turned and left, disappearing from sight.

The atmosphere calmed again—but the path ahead for the Tang Sect was only just beginning.

And deep in the shadows… something was stirring.
