As long as he knew the current timeline, Bi Zihan could infer the general course of events. In the original story, Qian Xunji's death roughly coincided with Tang San's arrival in this world and Bibi Dong's succession as Pope.

Bibi Dong had only just succeeded as Pope, which meant Tang San had only just arrived in this world. That made Bi Zihan only six years older than Tang San. Although the next six years were a blank period before the plot began, they also gave him plenty of room to make his moves.

For example, he could go to Holy Soul Village and eliminate Tang San before he had the chance to grow up. As long as Tang San was dead, no one would be able to stop Spirit Hall's future plans. And Bibi Dong, who had raised him, would not possibly die.

If he wanted to eliminate Tang San early, the people from Spirit Hall definitely would not do. Tang Hao was still by Tang San's side, after all. Tang Hao alone had practically wiped out Spirit Hall; sending Ghostly Charm and Yue Guan to kill Tang San would have no chance of success at all.

If Spirit Hall would not work, then there was still the Worship Hall, was there not? Qian Daoliu was one of the current three Peerless Douluo. If Qian Daoliu killed Tang Hao and then Tang San while he was at it, there should be no problem.

Moreover, Qian Daoliu was no ordinary Peerless Douluo. He was also a divine envoy. Killing a level ninety-five Tang Hao along with a Little Tang San would be ridiculously easy.

Most importantly, everyone currently believed Qian Xunji had died at Tang Hao's hands. If Qian Daoliu went to avenge his son Qian Xunji by killing Tang Hao and Tang San, it would be perfectly understandable.

As for whether Tang Hao had truly done it, that did not matter at all. As long as Qian Daoliu killed Tang Hao and Tang San, then made a public announcement afterward, Tang Hao would be stuck taking the blame whether or not he had killed Qian Xunji.

Still, there was no need to rush this matter. He had to take it slowly. There were six years left, after all—plenty of time to plan.

Bi Zihan's eyes lit up. He might not have been an expert in other matters, but when it came to killing, he had been a professional assassin in his previous life. He was definitely a professional.

"Zihan, what level is your Soul Power now? Do you need to go to Sunset Forest with me to hunt Soul Beasts and add a Soul Ring?" Hu Liena asked as she watched Bi Zihan's eyes grow brighter and brighter.

"My Soul Power is still seven levels short of being able to add a Soul Ring, so I don't need to go into Sunset Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and add one yet." Bi Zihan leaned against the carriage, his voice exceptionally calm. His current Soul Power was that of a level twenty-three Soul Grandmaster, so he truly was still seven levels short of adding another Soul Ring.

"Is your Innate Soul Power only level three? You're actually still seven levels away from adding a Soul Ring!" Hu Liena's eyes filled with disbelief. She was around the same age as Bi Zihan and already had level ten Soul Power. Since Bi Zihan was still seven levels away from adding a Soul Ring, she assumed his Innate Soul Power was only level three.

Bi Zihan merely smiled without explaining, but inwardly he thought, My Innate Soul Power is full. The divine bestowal gave me ten levels of Soul Power, and two Soul Rings raised me by three levels each, so my Soul Power is now level twenty-three.

Though he thought it, Bi Zihan had no intention of saying it aloud. He only smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying it.

"It's alright. Even though your Innate Soul Power is a little low, Teacher will definitely find a way to help you increase it. And as Teacher's disciple, I'll protect you properly too." Hu Liena blinked and revealed a faint smile.

"Thank you, but there's no need. I'm very strong and don't need your protection, though I appreciate the sentiment." Bi Zihan wore a gentle smile, yet directly refused Hu Liena's offer of protection.

Besides, he truly was strong now. Whether it was combat experience or fighting techniques, Bi Zihan was not inferior to anyone among the younger generation. Unless the gap in Soul Power was enormous, there was no way he could lose.

According to what Bibi Dong had taught him, before reaching the rank of Titled Douluo, the quality of one's Martial Soul, attached Soul Rings, combat experience, and fighting techniques could all make up for part of a Soul Power gap. His Martial Soul was the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel; in terms of Martial Soul quality, it could be considered among the finest on the entire continent.

After all, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was the Martial Soul closest to a god. Bi Zihan's Fallen Angel had twelve wings. No matter how one looked at it, it stood on a higher level than the Six-Winged Angel.

As for Soul Rings, every one of Bi Zihan's Soul Rings was transformed from a Fallen Angel. Not only were they a one-hundred-percent match with his own Fallen Angel Martial Soul, they also had no age limit. The power of his Soul Skills increased according to his own strength.

As for combat experience and fighting techniques, he had lived two lives. In his previous life, he had been a professional assassin who walked the line between life and death, possessing countless experiences of life-and-death battles. He had also learned many martial arts and all kinds of combat techniques.

So how could he possibly need a girl around his own age to protect him? What was more, Hu Liena's Soul Power was currently lower than his. If anyone was going to protect someone, it should be the other way around.

At that moment, Bibi Dong also opened her eyes and spoke earnestly. "Zihan, being guarded and vigilant is a good thing, but sometimes, you need to learn to trust others—such as your friends and companions. A person's strength is limited in the end, while the strength of a team is powerful."

"An outstanding Soul Master team consists of five parts: the assault type, agility type, control type, support type, and defense type. Every part has its own responsibility within the team. If you cannot learn how to trust others, then you will not be able to fit into any team."

"Try opening your heart and trusting your friends and companions. Entrust your back to them without worry. It will only benefit you, never harm you. But when judging people, you must keep your eyes open. Some people are worthy of your trust and can become companions bound to you through life and death. Others are not worth trusting. Trusting the wrong person can leave you regretting it for the rest of your life."

"If someone treats you sincerely, then you should treat them sincerely as well. If someone is false and insincere toward you, you must remain wary and guarded, because such a person is not worth your trust."

Bibi Dong looked at Bi Zihan before her. She had watched him grow up, so she naturally understood his personality extremely well.

Bi Zihan's guardedness and vigilance came from the depths of his heart. Unless someone could enter his heart and make him accept them from the bottom of his heart, that guardedness and vigilance would never disappear.
