=====

Ace impassively looked at the normal rewards and three hidden rewards he got. His gloomy mood quickly disappeared when he saw the last hidden reward, Lock Eraser King Technique! 

'Finally, something useful! My treasure-opening hands can no longer keep up with all these grade arrays and formations. With this technique, who can keep me in one place now, and which lock will be able to stand between me and treasuries?' 

However, suddenly he felt a huge amount of refined heavenly soul Qi and heavenly martial Qi released inside his body, and he instantly knew these were the EXP and SP he just earned! 

Ace scrutinized his mind-space since it was damaged to a great deal, and it was most important to heal it. And these SP were his only way. 

The half soul core started to slowly restore under the huge amount of heavenly soul Qi he just received. After his soul core was seventy percent complete, he heard the system's notification. 

====

[Congratulation, host, on achieving the second stage of Heavenly Sea Realm and second stage of Orange Soul Form!]

[Host status has been updated.] 

====

However, this wasn't the end because there was still a large amount of heavenly soul Qi and heavenly martial Qi remained.

This time, his soul core restored eighty percent when he heard another notification. 

====

[Congratulation, host, on achieving the third stage of Heavenly Sea Realm and third stage of Orange Soul Form!]

[Host status has been updated] 

====

The refined soul Qi was nearly depleted, and it finally stopped when his soul core was restored to eighty-five percent of its spherical shape! 

Ace mused, 'So fifty thousand soul points were only enough to heal it thirty-five percent, and it seemed the last fifteen percent will need another fifty thousand soul points as well!' 

Ace didn't dwell on it because the pain in his head was now very mild, almost non-exist and his body felt even more sturdy while his Qi was like a raging beast right now. He observed his martial space and saw his sea bed was filled with black Qi mist! 

'Hmm? Didn't it supposed to be filled with liquid Qi why it in the form of mist, and it's full as well!' Ace wonder in astonishment, 'Maybe it's probably because I'm following a completely different path and I have to cross nine stages while a normal Qi river realm had to cross only five!' 

Ace deemed and quickly glance at the EXP and SP he needed for the fourth stage!   

====

[Martial Cultivation: Heavenly Dark Sea {Stage-3}]

{EXP: 20,000/50,000}

[Soul Cultivation: Orange Wind Soul Core {Stage-3}]

{SP: 20,000/50,000}

====

Ace mused, 'So, the second stage only required twenty-five thousand? It's much better than my previous EXP and SP stats. I can breakthrough continuously as long as I have EXP and SP. But it also took away my soul cultivation advantage before I can form a new soul core, making my soul cultivation higher than marital cultivation, but now I can't!' 

He knew with every advantage come and disadvantage, but he wasn't too concerned about it because now he didn't need to pound over anything, and he only required resources to become stronger! 

It also didn't take long before he got the information about Advance-Talisman Crafting Technique and Lock Eraser King Technique as well. 

The talisman technique was locked away since he was still a Tier-1 rune crafter, but the Lock Eraser King Technique was completely disclosed. 

As much as he wanted, Ace didn't jump right into it because he still had things he didn't take care of! 

"System, show me what this Thief House is about!" He didn't forget the new panel he just opened after the system upgrade, and it had to be something big! 

The pagoda-like symbol instantly lit up, and a new interface opened right in Ace's mind since he was still pretending to meditate.

=====

Ace was gobsmacked by this introduction and rules of this Thief House and suddenly swallowed hard and asked with uncertainty, "Umm… system you want me recruited thieves? But I enjoy working alone!" 

"[Host doesn't need to recruit any member if the host didn't want to, the system is not forcing the host to recruit anyone. But the system still suggests thinking about it, because thief house if a major function of the system and is very helpful to host.]"   

Ace was perplexed, hearing the system's unexpected answer; the system was right this time. He can tell by all those strange 'Lock' features and all those unchangeable rules set up by the system were in his favor. 

Furthermore, after wandering the lower lands alone and all his dangerous experiences there, especially the last one with Gordon, Ace knew he could use another pair of hands. 

Because if he had a partner, he could've sent that person to scout the treasure mountain while waiting far away. He didn't know about other things, just the thought of controlling other thieves trained with the help of the system give Ace goosebumps! 

'This is probably not a bad thing, just as the system said, the things I can do with a trained thief like myself are unimaginable! Besides, Eva always wanted to create a team, and she made me the team leader when we make the deal back then.' 

Ace's heart softened when he thought about asleep Eva, and the little bit of hesitation in his heart faded.

'Well, since the system unlocked this function, I can't just let it collect dust, right?' 

"System, how can I recruit someone?" Ace asked, since he already decided to use this function, he had to know how to recruit others! 

"[Three Thief House Recruitment Tokens has been added to System Shop, Treasure Section, previously known as Weapon Section.]" 

"Good, I was just planning to open the shop after this." Ace didn't mind the name at all.

Ace was just about to do it when Shadow's cold and annoying voice rang in his ears, 

"If you keep pretending to be to meditate, do you believe I'll cut off your arm?"
