Sign-In in Douluo Dalu.

Chapter 420.

Bibi Dong's plan left Wang Feng utterly astonished.

'I have to play the role of myself?'

'Subarashi!!! Bibi Dong-sama!!'

Wang Feng couldn't help but silently praise the audacity and brilliance of her plan. At first, he even entertained the idea that Bibi Dong might have uncovered his true identity. However, after just a thought, he dismissed the possibility.

If Bibi Dong had indeed guessed his identity, she would have called a host of Titled Douluos to surround and eliminate him the moment he returned to the Supreme Pontiff's Palace. There was no way she would have allowed him to be crowned with such authority and power.

But as he reflected further, the full implications of her plan sent a cold chill down his spine. It was clever—too clever.

"Jiu Yikai?" Wang Feng asked as he took the stack of documents from her, skimming through them with a feigned casualness. "I've heard of him during this year's inspections. Supposedly, he was the individual champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition five years ago. From what I gathered, he single-handedly carried his team to victory. Something special seemed to have happened at the Supreme Pontiff Palace back then, didn't it?"

As he spoke, he flipped through the pages, taking in the details recorded within.

The file was remarkably thorough. Even his early exploits in Nuoding City were meticulously documented.

"This person was nothing short of a prodigy, a genius so brilliant that I can't even come to fathom.." Bibi Dong said, her tone light but deliberate. "His talent is terrifying, his martial soul unique even unique, and his strength unrivaled! Even beyond your level of innate talent."

Her words made Wang Feng pause, though he maintained a neutral expression.

"I've investigated his history," Bibi Dong continued. "Back when he was in Nuoding City, there was an opportunity to recruit him. Unfortunately, not everyone has my foresight. What's more, I suspect that even at six years old, this child possessed extraordinary intelligence and cunning."

"For instance, when he was just six, he already had a thousand-year soul ring. This drew the attention of Jie Ke, the Soul Hall's overseer in Suotuo City at the time. I questioned Jie Ke myself and discovered that the boy had been acting cautiously, clearly trying to avoid the Soul Hall's notice. He hid his true abilities, which allowed him to elude us for years."

Wang Feng's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm as Bibi Dong revealed just how much she had pieced together.

"The trajectory of his growth defies belief. His martial soul seemed capable of changing forms, with each form possessing immense power. Five years ago, in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, he even managed to defeat two of our Titled Douluo. To this day, those two have yet to recover fully from the injuries he inflicted upon them, and their strength has significantly diminished."

Her voice grew heavier. "It appears he was also a twin martial soul, soul master. His first martial soul alone could transform into multiple forms, each with its own devastating abilities. He even possessed a unique skill that allowed him to enter a special combat state, dramatically enhancing his power. His soul bone abilities were unparalleled—stronger even than your Sharp Blade Soul Bone."

Bibi Dong's analysis was unnervingly precise.

"I'm sure you're wondering," she continued, "how a soul master at only the forty-seventh rank could defeat two Titled Douluo. The truth is, I still find it hard to believe it myself. My first thought was to recruit him into our ranks, he would have been given every resources, every opportunities, I would have even gone and hunted a hundred thousand year old soul ring for his ninth ring, but alas he refused. And even has dealings with Clear Sky Sect…"

"Fortunately, this prodigy is no longer among the living. After he escaped the Supreme Pontiff Palace, we orchestrated a pursuit led by the Elder Palace and poisoned him with the Spider King's venom. In the end, his body should have dissolved into a pool of sludge."

"That's quite the formidable opponent," Wang Feng commented, his tone deliberately nonchalant. "I've never met another soul master whose talent surpasses mine."

Bibi Dong: "..."

"But if he's dead," Wang Feng continued, "why are you asking me to impersonate him? Is it to infiltrate his companions the Shrek Seven Devils? Or perhaps you want me to eliminate them? Or maybe perhaps control them?"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression softened with admiration. "You're astute, Wang Wu. That's exactly the point. The original name of this Jiu Yikai was Wang Feng—a rather unremarkable name, wouldn't you say?"

Wang Feng: "..."

"He was the captain of Shrek Academy's team and a close friend of the Shrek Seven Devils," Bibi Dong explained further. "I want you to assume his identity because it could prove incredibly valuable to us. Of course, I don't intend for you to kill them. That would be unnecessary and potentially problematic."

"Their strength is still far from being a threat to the Soul Hall. However, Tang San, their leader, is protected by a truly fearsome figure—the Haotian Douluo(Clear Sky Douluo), who is on par with me in power. Engaging them directly would be... inefficient."

Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened as she leaned slightly closer. "Pretending to be Jiu Yiaki will allow us to achieve far more than brute force ever could. The Shrek Seven Devils have connections, influence, and knowledge that we can exploit. With your skills, you'll fit the role perfectly."

As Bibi Dong finished, Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a mixture of astonishment and amusement.

Pretend to be myself? How ironic. And yet actually brilliant!

"Of the seven, four are especially critical: Dai Mubai, the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire and its future emperor. Zhu Zhuqing, the most powerful clan leader in the Star Luo Empire. Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Sect sovereign—you've likely encountered her already. And Tang San, the disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, son of Haotian Douluo himself."

Bibi Dong listed the key individuals while handing over detailed files on each one to Wang Feng.

"These four hold immense strategic value and are deeply connected to our overarching plans for the Soul Hall. I will explain the full details of the plan during the meeting later," she continued. "If we can control these four, the Star Luo Empire will lose its leadership, plunging into disarray. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect will fall under our influence, and the Clear Sky Sect's resurgence will be thwarted."

Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened as she added, "Three of them share a particular strong emotional bond with Jiu Yikai. If you reappear as Jiu Yikai, their emotions will cloud their judgment, leaving them vulnerable."

Her logic was impeccable, calculated to perfection.

Wang Feng couldn't help but marvel at her plan, but a thought struck him. He furrowed his brow and said, "There's a significant problem. I don't possess the martial soul and abilities of Jiu Yikai. How can I possibly convince them? Besides, my appearance is entirely different from his."

Wang Feng paused, then added with a hint of mischief, "Not to mention, I'm far more handsome."

This was a critical issue.

Bibi Dong, unfazed, calmly replied, "That's true. You don't have his abilities, and his appearance doesn't match yours. However, these aren't insurmountable obstacles. The solution is straightforward. You'll say that after the battle in the Supreme Pontiff's Palace, you narrowly escaped with your life. Using a special soul ability, you teleported to the Extreme North, where you recovered for a time. Unfortunately, due to the poison I inflicted which harmed the soul directly, your martial soul was destroyed, and your strength was completely abolished."

"..." Wang Feng stared blankly. What kind of excuse is this?

"But," she continued, "if you return to them in this weakened state, they will inevitably feel guilt and sorrow. They will shed tears, overcome with emotion, and won't dare to question you further. In this state, Jiu Yikai will no longer be a threat to us. Tang San and the soul beast by his side will hesitate to act, and Tang Hao will be left exposed, ripe for elimination."

Wang Feng stayed silent for a moment before asking, "How do I explain my appearance?"

"That's even easier," Bibi Dong replied, her tone confident. "The Extreme North may be perilous, but it's also rich in rare treasures. You can claim to have consumed a natural treasure that partially restored your strength. The side effect, however, was a drastic change in your appearance."

"..." Wang Feng.

He couldn't deny it—her reasoning and logic ability was thorough, especially considering she is a woman. 

The depth and detail of her plan astounded him.

"And there's one more thing," Bibi Dong said as she took out a tattered mask.

"This is the mask Jiu Yikai wore during the competition and the battle in the Supreme Pontiff's Palace. It was left behind and preserved by us, waiting for an opportune moment. Now that you're here, it will serve perfectly. The others will immediately recognize it, and it will solidify your identity. There's no chance they'll doubt you."

"..." Wang Feng was at a loss for words.

"You'll only need to study Jiu Yikai personality and speaking habits. If you can replicate his demeanor, they'll believe you're truly him—Wang Feng. The rest depends on your performance."

Bibi Dong had thought through every angle, leaving no detail to chance.

Wang Feng couldn't help but admire her meticulousness. Her scheme was airtight, and when he considered it seriously, it truly seemed plausible.

After all, Tang San and the others had no knowledge of the battle that occurred at the Supreme Pontiff's Palace. Even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo hadn't witnessed how Wang Feng managed to escape. No one knew what had truly happened.

As much as it amused him, Wang Feng had to admit, Bibi Dong's plan might actually work. Only if he was a fake Wang Feng….
