Chapter 619: Stealing Jade
【The Spirit Robe - The Transporter】

Privilege 1: Breaking Free

The soul imprint is engraved inside the spirit garment, and this privilege is passively activated after your physical body suffers a devastating blow that leads to death.

You will be resurrected with the help of the Spirit Robe, and there is a certain probability that you will be rebuilt into a top-quality physical body.

(Note: This can only be used on those who have activated the runes. The spirit garment will disappear after use. Please use with caution!)
This was something Xiao Ran had always considered her trump card for survival.

If you suffer a fatal blow, you can use this trump card to save your life.

However, this thing is no longer that important to me.

With the stitches of fate, even if one suffers a fatal blow, even if one is cut in half, one can sew oneself back together in a very short time.

As for day travel and night travel, although these two abilities are very useful, these two privileges will naturally be lost after I lose the [Horizontal Training] profession.

Therefore, the value of the spirit garment to him is no longer as important as it was at the beginning.

Since that's the case, let's make the most of this thing.

The only problem that needs to be solved now is how to get the girl to activate her spirit costume while ensuring that she can obtain the rebirth privilege.

Having thought of this, Xiao Ran had a general idea in mind, so he turned around and shouted to Zhao Hongzhong and the others below, "Those with professional skills, come up here."

The crowd was puzzled, but they still climbed up nonetheless.

When they saw the girl inside the tumor, even men like Zhao Hongzhong, who had experienced the torment of the Ghost Doctor, felt a tightness in their hearts.

Thinking about how this girl had been helping them fall asleep and keep them going in this hellish place all these days, Zhao Hongzhong and the others couldn't help but feel tears welling up in their eyes.

"Those bastards, Ghost Doctor and his gang, are worse than animals."

Zhao Hongzhong and the others couldn't help but curse the Ghost Doctor's entire family.

However, they really misunderstood the Ghost Doctor. Without him, the girl might have already given up.

But Xiao Ran had no interest in defending the Ghost Doctor. Even without the girl incident, the Ghost Doctor and his gang were still utter beasts.

“You all have professions, try activating this cursed item and let me see the effect.”

Xiao Ran took out the spirit garment and tried to have Zhao Hongzhong and the others try to activate it.

The group didn't know what Xiao Ran was going to do, but each of them tried it out and reported their findings to Xiao Ran truthfully.

After several people tried it, the results were not ideal.

The only thing that comes closest to the privilege of rebirth is Zhao Hongzhong's profession [Spirit Attachment], which, once activated, allows one's soul to reside in a spirit garment.

This is probably the profession that comes closest to having the privilege of rebirth.

There's no way around it; Zhao Hongzhong and the others were tricked into coming here to be test subjects because their strength is lacking, and their professions are all F-rank, so they can't truly utilize the characteristics of the Spirit Robe.

Can I try again?

At this moment, Zhao Hongzhong suddenly thought of something and took out two scrolls from his space: "Actually, when I came here, I had already collected enough things to advance, but I haven't had a chance to use them. I can try to see how the effect is after the advancement."

Zhao Hongzhong put it very subtly, but everyone knew that the reason he became a drug test subject was because someone brought him these two items.

"it is good!"

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and she gestured to Zhao Hongzhong to give it a try as soon as possible.

After all, his profession is the closest to the privilege of rebirth.

Zhao Hongzhong picked up the two scrolls and, under Xiao Ran's guidance, tore them open to advance to the next level.

Just then, someone below suddenly shouted, "Boss, come down and take a look!"

Hearing the urgent shouts from below, Xiao Ran jumped down again, still puzzled.

"Boss, look outside!!"

Everyone pointed to the window, gesturing for Xiao Ran to look outside.

Xiao Ran leaned closer to the glass and looked down, her face immediately darkening. She thought to herself, "How could it be so fast??"

Outside the hospital gate, members of the Changchun Association were rapidly gathering, numbering in the dozens.

Xiao Ran recognized some of these people; they were vaguely familiar to Beast Master. He didn't recognize some of them, but they didn't seem like good people either. They were all core members of the Changchun Society.

They've gathered at the hospital entrance, clearly heading this way.

Xiao Ran didn't take these people seriously; most of them were just beginners, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill them if he wanted to.

What truly worried Xiao Ran was that the news had already reached the Changchun Association, and the experts from the Changchun Association must have already arrived.

One pumpkin is troublesome enough, but if you add other professionals to the mix...

Just as Xiao Ran frowned, watching the increasing number of figures below, Zhao Hongzhong's voice came from the attic: "Boss!"

Xiao Ran gestured for the others to keep an eye on things and call her if anything happened. After returning to the attic, Zhao Hongzhong looked at her with some delight.

Having completed the advancement to [Blood Fusion], Zhao Hongzhong is now officially considered an E-level beginner.

After trying to activate the [Spirit Robe] again, new privileges immediately appeared before me.

[Spirit Robe]

Privilege 1: Rebirth After the physical body suffers a fatal blow, a clone will be recreated.

(Note: The strength of the clone will depend on the individual's situation. This item can only be used on the user of the rune.)
Upon seeing the information above, Xiao Ran immediately felt relieved.

The most troublesome thing has been resolved, and the rest will be much easier.

"I need time. You can stall for as long as you can. If they come at me, then open this painting."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran took out the painting and handed it to Jin Chanzi.

Jin Chanzi took the scroll and immediately sensed that it was something special.

Although he didn't know what the painting was, the fact that Xiao Ran entrusted it to him with such care showed its importance.

"Okay, don't worry."

Jin Chanzi nodded, indicating that Xiao Ran didn't need to worry.

Next, everyone went down from the pavilion, leaving only Xiao Ran and the girl together.

Xiao Ran took out many spell scrolls from his space and searched through them for a while. He quickly found the spell scroll for [Blood Fusion] and the corresponding advancement spell.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran had accumulated a lot of stock, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to gather all these items.

Of course, the most important thing is that the promotion from F-rank to E-rank does not require the adjustment of professional skills, otherwise Xiao Ran really has no good way.

"Next, I need to help you become a beginner first, and then help you separate from your mother. The process may be a little painful, but I will be as careful as possible."

The girl responded to Xiao Ran with a faint emotion, as if she had seen hope in Xiao Ran's words, and her body trembled slightly.

"to beat!"

Xiao Ran picked up the F-grade Blood Fusion Rune, tore it open, and exposed the runes sealed inside.

Before the curse could penetrate Xiao Ran's body, he flicked his finger, and silver threads shot out from his fingertips, hooking the curse and pulling it into the girl's body.

"How much longer do we have to wait?"

Time was ticking away, minute by minute.

Pumpkin asked Li Wang somewhat impatiently.

The outside reinforcements have almost arrived. Pumpkin felt that even without Stealing Jade's intervention, their sheer number of people rushing in would be enough to ruin Xiao Ran's mission.

"No rush, let's follow the leader's arrangements."

Riki crossed his arms and gave a curt reply.

Hearing this, Pumpkin felt helpless and could only sit aside listlessly, closing his eyes to rest.

Why aren't they making a move?

As Zhao Hongzhong and the others watched the Changchun Association crowd grow larger and larger downstairs, it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous. But seeing that there was still no movement downstairs, they couldn't help but feel strange.

Jin Chanzi stood to the side, squinting as he looked Li Wang up and downstairs. Hearing Zhao Hongzhong's words, he grinned and said, "Maybe they're waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?"

"How am I supposed to know who to wait for? Anyway, if they're willing to wait, then I'll just wait a little longer."

Jin Chanzi looked completely indifferent.

And so the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, neither intending to make a move.

"Om!!"

Just as Pumpkin and the others were getting impatient, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly broke the silence.

Riki-Wang opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them: "They're here!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a dark cloud quickly descended over everyone's heads.

Although they didn't see the man who stole the jade, everyone already felt a strong sense of oppression.

The experts from the Changchun Society outside the hospital gate all raised their heads, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Qieyu, one of the four leaders of the Changchun Association, was already a professional when many people had not even become beginners.

In the hearts of many, he is nothing less than a legend.

Not only them, but Pumpkin and Riki-Wang also raised their heads with serious expressions.

Pumpkin, being a professional as well, was able to feel the powerful sense of oppression emanating from the gloom at this moment.

As the smog grew heavier, a gaping hole suddenly appeared in the gloomy sky, and a figure slowly emerged from the haze.

Before the person even arrived, two black lightning bolts split open in the sky, striking the hospital building.

"Boom!!"

A loud bang was heard, and the entire building shook violently.

Zhao Hongzhong and his companions were shaken by this force, their internal organs churning, their bodies congested with blood, and their ears ringing violently.

The figure suspended in mid-air finally revealed its true form, with long, snow-white hair and wearing a robe inlaid with various gemstones, dressed like an ancient person, composed yet dignified.
