Hearing this, Ghostly Charm stood where he was and thought for a moment, but still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate. After all, judging solely from how Bi Zihan addressed Bibi Dong, it was clear that Bi Zihan's identity was far from ordinary. If anything happened to him right in front of Ghostly Charm, Ghostly Charm certainly would not meet a good end.

"Young Master, I think it would be better if you did not go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. That old dragon is not very friendly toward our Spirit Hall. If you were injured, Young Master, I truly would have no way to answer to His Holiness the Pope."

"Besides, Young Master, you are still young. If you want to prove your strength, it would be better to wait another two years. With your talent, by then you would be a genius who could rank among the younger generation. It would not be too late to challenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan then."

"More importantly, Young Master, your priority right now should be cultivation and study, not challenging the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Besides, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is already lacking in talent. The only geniuses they can put forward are Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng. They simply are not worth your challenge."

There was a trace of emotion in Ghostly Charm's voice. Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, he had no worthy successors. Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had been the first to dare confront Spirit Hall head-on.

"I never do anything without confidence. Since I dare to challenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then regardless of the outcome, I am absolutely confident that I can retreat unscathed. So, Ghost Elder, there is no need for you to worry about my safety. If Ghost Elder is unwilling to go, I can go by myself when the time comes. There is no need to put Ghost Elder in a difficult position." Bi Zihan speared a piece of fruit with the dagger in his hand and put it into his mouth, his voice sounding casual.

"Young Master, if you insist on going to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then let me accompany you. That way, you will be safer." Ghostly Charm gave a bitter smile. If Bi Zihan really went alone, it would be fine if nothing happened. But if something did happen, he was certain that his own fate would not be pleasant.

"Ghost Elder, rest assured. Nothing will happen when we go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I am merely going for a friendly spar." A smile appeared on Bi Zihan's face. Before doing anything, he always considered his retreat first, and he never did anything without confidence.

"I hope so." Ghostly Charm merely smiled, silently hoping that no unexpected incidents would occur tomorrow.

Bi Zihan picked up the admission notice before him and walked straight into a room. Since Ghostly Charm was willing to accompany him to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he needed to adjust himself to his best condition and look forward to seeing what kind of opponent he would encounter there tomorrow.

The next morning, Bi Zihan rose early and carried out his usual morning training in the courtyard. His daily routine was very simple. Apart from tempering his physique, he practiced combat techniques he had learned in his previous life, such as fighting techniques, grappling techniques, and other highly practical close-combat skills.

With a creak, Hu Liena's door opened. Still somewhat bleary-eyed, Hu Liena walked out of her room. Seeing Bi Zihan training ahead of her, she could not help asking, "Zihan, why are you up so early? I thought I would be the first one awake."

Bi Zihan withdrew his movements and stretched his body before answering unhurriedly, "It's normal. I couldn't sleep, so I got up early to train my physique. Once Ghost Elder returns, we can have breakfast."

"Did Ghost Elder go into Heaven Dou City to buy breakfast?" Hu Liena rubbed her eyes and walked over to sit at the stone table.

"What else would he do? There are only the three of us in this courtyard. Do you think Ghost Elder would personally cook for us? Besides, as a Titled Douluo, he might not even know how." Bi Zihan casually let his hair fall loose behind his back, then also walked to the stone table and sat down, quietly waiting for Ghostly Charm to return.

"Zihan, I have a question. Why don't you tie your hair up?" Hu Liena looked at Bi Zihan's hair, finding it rather strange. Ever since his battle with the Mystic Armored Bear, Bi Zihan seemed to have kept his hair loose.

Bi Zihan's expression stiffened slightly, but it quickly returned to calm. He said indifferently, "It's more comfortable this way. Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem, but it is a little improper. After all, soul masters generally care about their appearance." Hu Liena blinked. Soul masters were all proud people, and under normal circumstances, they paid some attention to their appearance. Few were like Bi Zihan, simply leaving their hair loose.

"It's fine as long as I find it comfortable. I never care about what others think." Bi Zihan felt rather helpless. After all, he did not know how to do his hair, nor did he know how to tie it up like Bibi Dong did.

When he was in Spirit City, either the servants or Bibi Dong had usually tied his hair for him, so he had never learned how. Although he had lived two lives, he had worn short hair in his previous life and had never needed to tie it up. Thus, he simply did not know how and could only leave it loose.

The two did not wait long before Ghostly Charm returned from outside, carrying steaming breakfast in his hands.

Ghostly Charm came to the stone table, set down the breakfast, and asked, "Young Master, when do you plan to head to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"Of course, after we finish eating. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan probably will not provide us with food, so it is better to eat our fill before going." Bi Zihan took out a bowl of steaming meat porridge and began drinking it directly.

"Zihan, what are you going to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for? We only have two days left before school starts." Hu Liena looked at Bi Zihan in confusion, not knowing what they were going there for.

"Before school starts, I'm going to have a friendly spar with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and see my own strength while I'm at it." Bi Zihan only gave that reply before lowering his head and focusing on his meat porridge.

"I'll go with you. I can watch the excitement." Hu Liena revealed a smile, her large eyes blinking repeatedly.

"Then let's go together. It makes no difference anyway." Ghostly Charm smiled and did not pay it much mind. In any case, he had already prepared to run. When the time came, running with one person was the same as running with two. At worst, he could grab one in each hand and run.
