In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 481 Wang Zhao: Yu Xiaogang, now that you have seen the Pope, why don't you bow down?

At this moment, on the Soul Battle Stage, Huo Wu had already been taken off by the teachers and classmates of Blazing Fire Academy.

Opposite him was Flander, who had also rushed onto the stage to take Tang San off. He was carrying a coat, and when he arrived at the naked Tang San's side, he quickly put the coat on him. Then, after glancing around, his old face couldn't help but blush slightly, and he hurriedly carried Tang San off the stage.

A joyful atmosphere had filled the audience seats.

"Daddy, that person looks like a blank egg."

"Hey, honey, close your eyes! Don't look!"

"Hiss~ That thing... Is this what they call 'young and sprouting like a bean'?"

"But it's too small, I can't see it clearly at all. Is it really not 'she'?"

"He fought this hard for a single match, he deserved to win..."

……

In the Blue Tyrant Academy's rest area, even though Yu Xiaogang tried her best to ignore the noisy discussions of the audience, her face still involuntarily darkened.

It wasn't until soon after, when the two teams took the stage for the next match and the laughter and jeers from all directions gradually subsided, that he calmed down a bit and began to review the battle.

Without a doubt, their team's battle against Blazing Academy has revealed all their trump cards.

Under these circumstances, if Xiao Huohuo hadn't been able to suppress some of the Blazing Fire Academy team's strength, the Blue Tyrant team might have even lost. Even so, the Blue Tyrant Academy team narrowly won the final battle.

"If Blazing Fire Academy is this difficult to deal with, how will the little monsters possibly win against Heavenly Water Academy and Divine Wind Academy, which are said to be even stronger than Blazing Fire Academy?"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"After this battle, Huo Huo should have gained a lot of insights. If he can break through to become a Soul King before the next round of matches, he will have a much better chance of winning even against those strong teams."

"Hmm... As expected of my disciple."

"Oh, right!"

"I didn't expect the mistress's Clear Sky Hammer to be exposed so quickly. Perhaps I should move my plan forward, otherwise it would be bad if that woman found out something. There's no time to lose..."

afternoon.

A fast horse galloped out of Heaven Dou City. At the city gate, Flander, Tang San, and the others watched with complicated expressions as Yu Xiaogang's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Yu Xiaogang sat astride his horse, his gaze resolute, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. He looked into the distance, towards the direction of Martial Soul City, and patted a token at his waist, making a reassuring sound.

Dong'er, it's been so many years, you must have missed me a lot...

……

A few days later.

"Oh? Yu Xiaogang is outside?"

Wang Zhao, who was in the distant Dragon Valley plane, received a report from a guard in the Papal Palace of Wuhun City through a divine power avatar resembling "Saint Son Li Ming".

Today, the elders of the temple went on strike, so he had to come and take on the role of "acting pope."

What an unexpected coincidence...

"Yes, Your Highness. That man claims to be Yu Xiaogang, an old friend of His Holiness the Pope, and carries the previous Pope's token, claiming he wants to see His Holiness the Pope. I don't know what to do, so I have come to report."

The guard said respectfully.

Wang Zhao thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The guard nodded and withdrew.

Not long after, at the entrance of the Papal Palace.

Seeing the guards who had gone to report return from afar, Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly at the palace guards at the gate and said:

"Hmph, I've already said I know His Holiness the Pope and even carried the papal decree. Yet you've made me wait outside for so long—how pedantic!"

The paladin knight, not to be outdone, returned a mocking look.

"Heh, you're just a mere Great Soul Master, carrying a decree from the previous Pope that you somehow got your hands on. You were so arrogant when you came over... Who gave you the guts! Acting so domineeringly outside the Papal Palace, even the current sect leaders of the three upper sects wouldn't dare! If that guard hadn't happened to pass by and taken pity on you, he would have the right to throw you in jail right now!"

"You dare!"

Yu Xiaogang was hit where it hurt, and couldn't help but become fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Oh."

The Temple Knights merely responded with a cold laugh.

Soon, the guards arrived and led Yu Xiaogang inside. After entering, Yu Xiaogang stopped making any pointless noise and walked silently. What she was thinking remains unknown.

Upon entering the Papal Palace, Yu Xiaogang saw that the papal throne, symbolizing the supreme authority of the continent, did not hold the noble figure he had longed for. Instead, a languid young man sat there. The young man casually toyed with the papal scepter in his hand, his gaze seemingly falling on him unintentionally, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

who is he?!

This thought only flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind for a moment, because in an instant, a resounding name appeared.

The current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, His Majesty the Undead Calamity—Li Ming!

Yu Xiaogang's thoughts were in disarray for a moment. Before he could delve into the doubts in his mind, a majestic voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Since you have seen the Pope, why don't you bow down?"

"?!?!"

"you……"

Yu Xiaogang, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head, her face full of disbelief.

Wang Zhao curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"What's wrong? My teacher is in seclusion, so I'm temporarily assuming the role of Pope. Do you have any questions?"

"No, no..."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, she felt somewhat annoyed and inexplicably uncomfortable.

How could he be considered Bibi Dong's junior when he was once Bibi Dong's lover, and Wang Zhao was Bibi Dong's student?

Blanch!

Soul Masters with extraordinary talent, what a bastard!

Yu Xiaogang felt a pang of jealousy and instinctively wanted to leave.

Dong'er isn't here, so we can't stay in the Papal Palace any longer!

Unexpectedly, the holy son spoke again.

"Your visit here isn't just about seeing my teacher, is it? Let me guess, you also want to inquire about the cultivation methods for twin martial souls for your disciple Tang San, right?"

"How did you know?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's pupils constricted sharply, and her mood instantly became one of surprise and uncertainty.

Wang Zhao simply looked at him with a smile.

"Yu Xiaogang, you really have some nerve!"

"Someone come here!"

"exist!"

A tall and valiant paladin knight soon entered through the palace gates; it happened to be the one Yu Xiaogang recognized.

Wang Zhao pointed his papal scepter at Yu Xiaogang and asked the paladin knights:

"Wasn't this person making a ruckus outside the palace just now?"

The temple knight was taken aback, then nodded excitedly.

"yes!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale instantly.
