The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and Jiang Ran slowed down. Han Xiaodong had already stopped moving and stood still, and the distance between the two was less than 100 meters!

Does it smell like flowers?

[Rule Nine: Stay away from flower fields with large areas of purple flowers. When you smell the fragrance of flowers, it's best to pinch your nose and leave quickly.]

It must have been really tough for Han Xiaodong, as he actually went to the trouble of finding such a battlefield.

"A vast field of purple flowers? That would make a perfect cemetery."

Jiang Ran walked slowly forward. He was worried that Han Xiaodong would use his ability the moment he saw him, so he had to make sure he could copy his ability before that happened!

100 meters, 10 seconds.

[You have acquired the Copying Talent: SS-Rank - Reversed Heavenly Gang]

"So that's what talent is? Hahaha, knowing the exact names of other people's talents?"

Jiang Ran was somewhat amused and exasperated. If he really changed his talent after completing each world, Han Xiaodong's ability would be useless to him!

That's true. When you don't know the specific principles behind an ability, you feel that everything is so magical, which is somewhat similar to magic in essence.

"Jiang Ran, you really did come."

Han Xiaodong stood in front of Jiang Ran, with the flower field behind him, but due to the limited range of the soul lamp, the two of them could not see it with their current vision.

"Of course I have to come." Jiang Ran smiled with narrowed eyes. "After all, I can't rest easy with you around."

Is this considered a compliment?

"If that's how you think, then go ahead and think that way."

"The girl next to you isn't with you. Was she killed?"

"Don't worry, she's perfectly fine. You might not be in that situation later."

Han Xiaodong knew very well that even if Jiang Ran didn't see the flower field behind him, he could guess a lot just from the fragrance of the flowers. Once he retreated, Jiang Ran wouldn't chase after him at all, and would only let him die in the flower field.

Han Xiaodong knew this all too well.

So he wanted to chat with Jiang Ran here to buy time.

There are less than three minutes left since he last used his ability. Han Xiaodong was actually quite surprised that Jiang Ran found him in such a short time. His speed was indeed not to be underestimated!

All he has to do is jump into the flower field and then switch places with Jiang Ran, so that Jiang Ran can really experience the power of the flower field.

“You are indeed the most formidable opponent I have ever encountered.” Han Xiaodong raised his right hand. “Jiang Ran, I don’t actually need to risk my life every time I participate in S-level or higher worlds. It’s because of you that I can be so excited!”

"Your story is quite exciting." Jiang Ran smiled slightly. "As a newbie ghost storyteller, you actually dared to challenge an A-level ghost story world with your D-level talent. Although you didn't clear it, you actually survived for three days and obtained an A-level talent in one fell swoop."

"Afterwards, he directly challenged the A-level ghost story world again, snatched the qualification from other S-level ghost story masters, and successfully promoted to S-level ghost story master. The British Empire even published an article calling you a 'legendary ghost story master,' which inspired many people to imitate your actions at the time."

Of course, most of these people are already dead.

From D-rank to SS-rank, Han Xiaodong only experienced less than five worlds. This is practically a monstrous existence among ghost story writers. It's hard to know whether to call him a hero or a madman!

"I never expected that the famous Jiang Ran would actually bother to learn about the past of someone as insignificant as me?" Han Xiaodong clapped his hands. "I'm truly honored."

Two minutes left!

Jiang Ran raised his knife.

"I think we should stop our nonsense here!"

"What a pity!"

Even as the blood-stained blade slashed down, Han Xiaodong wasn't confident he could catch or dodge it. Jiang Ran's attack was clearly aimed at killing him!

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

Although I can't switch places with Jiang Ran, this restriction doesn't apply when using my abilities on other ghost storytellers.

A bewildered Aransta stood in front of Jiang Ran's knife!

As the blood-red blade came slashing down, he cursed inwardly!

Velens! It's you again, you little bastard! Ugh!

Honestly, Aransta would rather kill Han Xiaodong than Jiang Ran!

In response, Han Xiaodong could only apologize, buddy. He really didn't mean to target you; it's just that he knew there weren't many people with innate talent, and you just happened to be one of them.

Jiang Ran had anticipated that Han Xiaodong would use his ability to escape, so he immediately switched from slashing to crashing, and at the same time canceled the amplification of the Thousand Jewel Seal: Wolf.

Jiang Ran didn't obtain Alansta's bounty. Killing him now would only cause Jiang Ran to lose his chance to clear the game, which would be a loss.

Driven by inertia, the two tumbled into the flower field together. The fragrance filled their nostrils, and remembering the Ninth Rule, Aransta's mood undoubtedly worsened!

What kind of trouble has he gotten himself into?!

You two can fight all you want! What's the point of calling me over here?!

If Jiang Ran wanted to, he certainly wouldn't have fallen into this flower field, but the current situation suits him perfectly!

Aransta is also Jiang Ran's enemy. If possible, it would be better if he died. Hanada killed him, which has nothing to do with me, Jiang Ran!

"Vellens, I'm going to use my power on you to switch places with you!"

There are 1 minute and 43 seconds left before Han Xiaodong can use his ability on Jiang Ran again.

This amount of time is sufficient.

Jiang Ran vanished instantly, leaving Aransta stunned, while Han Xiaodong returned to the scene!

"What...what's going on?!"
