Pope Token

Yu Xiaogang had not forgotten that he had returned to Spirit City twice before, only to suffer humiliation from Spirit Hall both times—something he still could not let go of.

The first time he returned to Spirit City was more than a decade ago, when he learned of the death of Qian Xunji, Spirit Hall's previous Pope.

He had gone to Spirit Hall alone, hoping to reconcile with Bibi Dong and rekindle their old relationship. Then, relying on her noble status, he intended to rise to the pinnacle of life and become the most powerful man on Douluo Continent.

In the end, he had not even been able to enter the gates of Spirit City.

Not only had the guards stopped him outside the city gates, but he had also taken a vicious slap to the face, broken an arm, and ultimately slunk away in disgrace.

His second return to Spirit City had come in the sixth year after taking Tang San as his disciple.

At that time, Tang San had just graduated from Nuoding Academy and gone with Xiao Wu to Suotuo City to enroll in Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang himself had instead detoured to Spirit City, seeking methods and clues to resolve the conflict between Tang San's Twin Martial Souls.

This time, Yu Xiaogang had not been stopped outside Spirit City.

With the Pope Token Tang Hao had given him, he had entered Spirit City without issue and made his way unimpeded into Spirit Hall's Core Area. Using his former status as an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall, he had entered the Archives and copied down quite a bit of Martial Soul theory.

However, the Pope Token had been both his success and his downfall.

The Pope Token was of immense importance. It signified the Pope's personal presence
