Early in the morning,
Outside of the Beast Calling Colosseum was packed with a large crowd of people.
The reason for this was very simple, the time of departure was approaching and every noble family with their recruits are coming in packs.
These recruits were those who can't afford or purchased the beast ticket and had to lower their heads to these titled families. For these beast tickets, they all sign a loyalty contract that was a fancy way of saying slave contract!
All of these youngsters can now take part in the upcoming test, but whether they win or lose, it's all belonged to these titled families now.
This was not only the case of Zander County, it was happening all over the land of kingdoms!
Although over 80% of them will die in just their kingdom's test. However, those who survived will become elites who go through the battle of blood even if they didn't get selected.
All those survivals will be future assets to these titled families, and that's why they all spend so much Qi stones to monopolized all these sets of seats and then sell them just for one loyalty contract!
The enormous gates of the colosseum creak open at this moment and the crowd went into absolute silence..
After the gates fully open many high cultivation guards and Aden two disciples came out in the organization uniform. To everyone's surprised Aden was absent.
As for Black Hound, he never shows his face in public places and most of these people didn't know a Vice Beast Master even exist.
"Welcome everyone," Nora spoke in her charming voice at this moment with a smile on her face.
"Please show your beast tickets before entering the colosseum. As for those people without beast tickets, please don't block the entrance." She announced.
Everyone does as she said and entered after showing their different color tickets.
Golden tickets were only in the hands of the most promising youngsters of titled families and their protectors.
These protectors were going to keep them safe until the test and all of them were at least of the middle Qi foundation stage cultivators.
When the crowd with beast tickets almost entered, thirty carriages with Earl's estate symbols came into everyone's view.
Shockingly, no one stopped them as those luxurious carriages began to cross the colosseum's gate.
But no one raised any voice because everyone knows the Earl has an excellent relationship with Beast Master Aden and this much VIP treatment for an Earl is to be expected anywhere.
Victor was also sitting with his siblings in the sixth carriage from the front.
Ace observed everyone with his heavenly sense. 'The gates would most likely be closed when everyone with those tickets entered.'
"System mark every storage space treasure in my soul sense range." Ace command while his heart raced because it was time to move!
===
"[System detect 210 storage space treasure in host's soul sense range.]"
[420TP required for marking.]
[Will the host want to proceed?]
[Yes/No]
====
"Yes." Ace transmitted without any delay.
====
[420TP has been deducted]
[Marking has been completed.]
---
[Thief Point(s): 330]

With his heavenly sense, Ace saw many little black panels appearing on every person's storage ring.
At this moment, almost all the crowd was in his soul sense range and he took advantage of this by using the system's ability to mark the storage space treasures.
Although it would cost him two TP per treasure yet it was worth it!
Ace thought at lightning speed, 'There are approximately 97 storage rings; on the people who are not going inside. I can create 20 soul threads on each finger now, thanks to my practice of soul controlling technique.'
After making sure that no one was paying any attention to Victor inside the carriage, Ace create 97 soul threads on his fingers!
Those transparent threads came to life as each of them darted towards 97 different targets like tentacles.
'This is draining more soul qi than I expected.' Ace thought, but he still has a large reserve of heavenly soul Qi because of his soul river cultivation!
The very next moment, each soul thread was in its place, but Ace didn't use the pick-pocket immediately as if he was waiting for something.
This plan of stealing everyone's storage rings was essential to collect a large amount of TP faster.
After taking everything into account, Ace decided to just go for it and take risks. But the risk was very little with Victor's face and all these carriages.
First, no one would even think someone can steal from a moving carriage.
Second, no one would dare to point their finger at Earl Estate.
Third, the organization would not get involved in this because he was not stealing their storage rings and only those nobles!
As for suspecting these innocent people outside, Ace wasn't worried about it because they all will only blame one person… Sky Stealer!
Now the question was how he was going to do it? Well, Ace has created a very good and simple skill for it.
Ace waited for his carriage to get inside and, 'Pick Pocket!'
The 97 soul threads blink for a moment and Ace heard strings of system notification at once and couldn't help but grin brightly. 'Succeed!'
But those soul threads didn't vanish like they always do and remain.
'Thief's Charity.'Ace active his newly developed skill thief's charity.
The soul threads blink again and faded afterward.
Ace closely observed his victims and was astonished because for the first time he saw the thief marks on 8 of his victims' fingers!
"System, why didn't you tell me the thief symbol can appear on someone's body!" Ace asked in bewilderment.
"[System has already explained that a thief symbol will emerge in any place where host doses honorable thievery of at least low level.]
[These places also included living beings]"
"T-then I leave those marks on that old man and that clown as well?" Ace asked with a weird expression on his face.
"[Yes]"
"Can it be removed?"
"[Not until the host dies. Even if they cut off those limbs as long as they regrew them, the thief symbol will return.]"
Ace inhales sharply. He does not know the thief symbol works this way!
